Chapter 296 Crossbow Operation (4)

The thunderous sound of gunfire on the surface of the water echoed through the seawater and echoed inside the submarine below the surface.

"Start the engine!" Captain Georgim Shepke of the U-100 submarine raised the periscope while giving the order. When the periscope emerged from the water, he saw the huge hull moored sideways on the sea more than 500 meters directly in front. He ordered loudly without thinking. "All torpedoes No. 1, 2, 3, and 4 were launched!" There was no need to even make proper adjustments. The luck was so incredible that it was incredible.

After giving the order, he turned around, looked back, and saw a destroyer not far away. "Torpedo No. 5 is launched!"

"Gudong..." As the submarine trembled slightly, seawater poured into the torpedo launch compartment, and a dense stream of bubbles spurted out from the launch tube. Then one torpedo after another was launched out of the U-100 submarine. front end.

"Torpedoes No. 1, 2, 3, and 4 have been launched!" "Torpedo No. 5 has been launched!" The U-100 submarine fired all the torpedoes in the launch tube in one go, and Shepke knew that he would definitely hit the target in the distance. Target.

"Emergency dive 50 meters and get out of here!"

Although he wanted to see with his own eyes the familiar huge water column and the splashing steel plates accompanied by the dazzling fire explosion, there were now a total of 30 submarines lurking in this sea area. If you accidentally get killed by a torpedo launched by one of your own people, that would be unlucky.

"That's the battleship USS Resolution!" Shepke took one last look at his prey before retracting the periscope, and couldn't help shouting excitedly.

The unfortunate battleship in the distance is the battleship "Resolution".

In response to Germany's construction of the Bavarian-class battleships, the British Navy approved the construction of seven Revenge-class battleships in the 1913 budget (the initials of the ship names were all R, also known as the R-class). In August 1914, the British Navy canceled the construction plan for the latter two ships. The budget was changed to build 2 Renown-class battlecruisers, and finally 5 were built.

The Revenge-class battleship is an improved version of the Queen Elizabeth-class battleship. Its basic layout and armament are basically the same as those of the Queen Elizabeth-class. The length of the hull is shortened, the protection is slightly improved, and a single chimney is used. This is similar in appearance to the Illy. The most obvious difference between the Queen Elizabeth class.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

This warship was an old ship that would have been decommissioned in 1944 in the original time and space, and it did not have any decent underwater mine protection measures. Now it has eaten four heavy torpedoes in one go, which is really killing it.

The ocean contains the power to destroy the world. After the torpedo explodes, the repeated squeezing of the seawater is used to twist the thickest steel and the most confident structure of mankind. This is the ultimate contest between spear and shield, and it is no longer a pale comparison on paper. , but a real result, a result that everyone has to admire.

This is a contest between men, this is the fairest decisive battle, using life as a bet and death as a verdict. The most qualified warriors survived on the cruelest battlefields and became a vague legend for thousands of years to come; those who failed had to pay the price for their carelessness, but they would not have any chance to regret it.

The explosive power of the bow lifted the bow of the ship from under the water. The broken bulbous bow was almost completely separated from the water. A surging resistance spread along the back of the ship. The people on the entire battleship, like It was a passenger who hit the brakes suddenly. Involuntarily, he suddenly made a mistake, and many unlucky ones rolled around on the ground, hitting their heads and bleeding!

Then the Determination made a heartbreaking sound of breaking, and its two ends began to slowly tilt up. After five minutes, this giant ship with a displacement of more than 30,000 tons was broken into two pieces.

Lieutenant General Somerville, who was standing on the bridge of the USS Hood, witnessed with his own eyes the huge water column rising high on the side of the battleship USS Resolution not far ahead, and the steel plates flying everywhere accompanied by the dazzling fire explosion.

A terrible guess flashed through Lieutenant General Somerville's mind, but he didn't allow him to think about it. With the sound of explosions coming from under his feet, his whole body was thrown out and hit the wall hard. He seemed to hear the sound of his skull cracking, and his eyes were filled with blood.

The shocking explosion even reached the "Dunkirk".

Listening to the loud noises one after another, General Suer looked at Hoffman with an expression of disbelief. "How on earth did you know?" This sneak attack plan should be top secret. I am afraid that not even a few senior British people know about it. But not only did the Germans know about it, they also set up an ambush in advance, waiting for the British fleet to step in obediently.

What a terrifying intelligence capability!

Hoffman glanced at Colonel Holland, who was pale and trembling, but also had a puzzled look in his eyes, and smiled. "Perhaps Prime Minister Churchill called His Highness to report?" It was impossible for him to know the secrets based on his status, and he did not dare to inquire more.

General Jean Sur joked expressionlessly. "Then your Highness really needs to give Churchill a knighthood."

After a while, the adjutant came in to report. "Your Excellency, Commander, the seaplane reported that there are only five destroyers left in the British fleet to recover people who fell into the water. There are too many people who fell into the water, and they may have to be busy for several hours."

"..." Colonel Holland rolled his eyes and fainted.

General Jean Sur nodded silently. Thinking about it, now that we have obtained the British's overall plan, no one will easily let go of this piece of fat that is brought to their lips. "How long until it starts?"

the adjutant replied. "It'll take another ten minutes to get up to speed."

General Jeansur stood up, looked at the fainted Colonel Holland with disdain, and motioned to carry him away. "Then weigh anchor, let's go out and take a look."

Ten minutes later, the "Dunkirk" and other ships sailed out of the port at a slow snail's pace and headed towards the "British Fleet".

General Jeansur, who came to the bridge, pointed to the distance and ordered. "Let them surrender immediately, or open fire to sink them!"

Hoffman, who was standing next to him, looked at the sea in the distance with a telescope, and vaguely saw the densely packed floating crowd on the sea.

But he knew that these people were already very few. If the personnel of two battleships, a battlecruiser, an aircraft carrier, two cruisers and six destroyers were all evacuated safely, there would be nearly 10,000 crew members floating on the sea.

But now the number of people struggling on the sea is at most three or four thousand. It seems that the rest of the people sank to the bottom of the sea with the battleships?

"Tsk, it's really miserable. I told you to surrender long ago, but you didn't listen. This is called 'stealing a chicken but losing a rice', right?" As he spoke, he saw the five destroyers in the distance raising white flags one after another.

Maybe they can rely on the high speed of the destroyers to escape, but once they leave, they will be tantamount to abandoning their compatriots in the water. What if the French are angry and don't help them, so many people will only be fed to the fish here. Therefore, they can only surrender and send a telegram to ask the French Navy to rescue those who fell into the water from a humanitarian standpoint.

After hearing the content of the telegram, General Sur continued to give orders. "Okay, since they surrendered, let's go and rescue them."

Hoffman shook his head. "Uncle, how can we believe the words of such treacherous villains? What if they launch torpedoes when we get close?" In two days, the battleship under his feet will belong to the German Navy. He doesn't want to make any mistakes at this time, so he has to be extremely cautious.

General Sur also thinks he is right. What kind of immoral things can't these shameless and despicable villains do? "Then call a team of soldiers from the shore and have them board the ship to control them first."

Hoffman thought about it and felt that this method was safe enough.

Another team of soldiers was called from the shore. After they boarded the British destroyer and controlled them all, the French fleet approached and began to rescue people.
