Third Reich: I took over power
Chapter 185
On the sea, as many as 12 merchant ships are sailing north, preparing to go to the southern port of the Empire where the sun never sets.
This fleet came from Tianzhu and carried more than 100,000 tons of grain and a large amount of iron ore. After the war broke out, the Empire's arsenal was operating at full capacity, producing various weapons. This greatly increased the demand for steel in the Empire.
Fortunately, among the many colonies of the Sun Never Sets Empire, Tianzhu and Kangaroo Kingdom have a large amount of iron ore, and the grade is very high. This means that the Sun Never Sets Empire does not need to worry about resources at all, as long as these resources from the colonies are transported back to the mainland.
It's a pity that the Third Reich has already set its sights on the maritime transportation routes of the Empire on which the sun never sets. If the Sun Never Sets Empire wants to transport these resources back easily, it may not be that easy.
A periscope rose from the water.
U29 submarine Captain Torrezimer is observing the fleet not far away
"Tsk tsk! Great, a full 12 merchant ships. Moreover, there are no escort ships yet. The Empire on which the Sun Never Sets is too careless."Captain Otto Kretschmer was smiling.
This is a rare opportunity for them!
"Turn immediately and seize a favorable position. The other guys must have taken action."Captain Otto Kretschmer ordered.
He knew without guessing that in this area, other Third Reich submarines must have been ready for battle.
"The bow torpedo is ready to attack the merchant ship in front first!"Captain Otto Kretschmer ordered
"Yes, sir!"
The submarine immediately filled the torpedo tube with water and was ready to launch the torpedo.
But suddenly, there was a violent explosion on the sea.
I saw that the middle part of the merchant ship at the front of the fleet was suddenly hit by a dazzling fire. shrouded
"Damn it! Those guys took the lead, changed their targets, and immediately launched an attack!"Captain Otto Kretschmer couldn't help but cursed
"Bang! Bang!"
Four torpedoes were launched from the four torpedo tubes on the bow of the boat. At this moment, the sea was already a mess.
The merchant ship at the front of the fleet, with a displacement of more than 15,000 tons, had been broken into pieces. Two pieces.
The merchant ship is already very fragile. How could it withstand the attack of a heavy torpedo?
Just one heavy torpedo directly killed the merchant ship.
"Oh, God! We're under attack, it's a Third Reich submarine!"
"Send a telegram quickly and call for help. We need support!"
"What about those guys in the Royal Navy? Why are there Third Reich submarines?"
The sailors on the remaining 11 merchant ships shouted in panic.
Everyone was frightened. They knew very well that in this vast sea, if they were sunk by a submarine of the Third Reich, they would be It was almost a dead end!
Those merchant ships turned desperately, trying to escape from this sea area.
They even tried their best to ventilate the boilers regardless of the life of the engine, so that the merchant ships could maximize their speed.
But unfortunately, The speed of merchant ships is already very low, especially after transporting a large amount of cargo, being able to move forward at a speed of ten knots is already very good.
If it only encounters a submarine, perhaps most merchant ships can They could escape. But what they encountered was not just a submarine!
"boom! boom!"
There were continuous violent explosions in the middle and stern of a merchant ship.
Two 533mm heavy-duty mines hit the unfortunate merchant ship.
The fragile hull was like paper under the heavy torpedoes. It was easily destroyed. It tore open.
Seawater poured into the ship crazily along the big hole.
Perhaps because too much cargo was loaded, the waterline was already very deep. As more and more seawater poured into the merchant ship, The battleship quickly sank into the sea.
The sailors on the ship immediately jumped onto the lifeboat to avoid sinking into the sea with the battleship.
"Well done, move on to the next target!"
Captain Otto Kretschmer confirmed the results of the battle through the periscope.
At the same time, he also began to look for the next target.
"boom! boom! boom!"
The sound of explosions kept ringing in this sea area. These merchant ships of the Empire on which the sun never sets were constantly hit by torpedoes and then sank into the sea.
Although the entire fleet had as many as 12 merchant ships. But for the submarine force of the Third Reich Generally speaking, there are still more wolves than meat.
Captain Otto Kretschmer was quite lucky. After killing the first target, he immediately selected another target to attack. As a result, the submarine U29 gained the It achieved two results, and a 30,000-ton merchant ship was sunk by it.
But the luck of several other submarines was not so good, and they almost only achieved one result. There were only a few that achieved two results. The best luck. One of them, the U47 submarine, achieved three results. The sea was full of wreckage of destroyed merchant ships, as well as sailors from the Empire who were sitting in lifeboats, waiting for rescue.
The fleet was destroyed by the After the submarines of the Three Reichs were destroyed, the sailors were very frightened. They were all afraid that the submarines of the Third Reich would kill them all.
Fortunately, these submarines did not do this, but left the sea area after the battle..
As for the U29 submarine, although it achieved two results this time and consumed four torpedoes, the entire submarine still has ten torpedoes and can continue to cruise the ocean for a while. If some more targets can be discovered, then Naturally, it couldn't be better.
Three days later, the U29 boat discovered a merchant ship heading from the Maple Leaf Kingdom to the Empire where the sun never sets.
Captain Otto Kretschmer made a prompt decision and ordered it to be sunk.
However, they were a little unlucky. Fortunately, there happened to be a destroyer from the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets.
After receiving the call for help from the merchant ship, the destroyer rushed over immediately.
Although they did not capture the U29 submarine, they launched an attack on the surrounding sea area with depth charges..
The submarine model U29 is so fast that it has evacuated in advance. Otherwise, they may be destroyed here.
Destroyers, especially destroyers equipped with sonar, are natural enemies for these submarines. Once discovered , often a narrow escape from death, very likely to be sunk and buried in the depths of the ocean._Feilu reminds you: three things about reading - collection, recommendation,
