Volume 31, D?nitz

"Yes, sir." Mussen nodded, he stuffed the telegram into his jacket's pocket and asked somewhat uncertainly: "Where are the others?"

"Others," Dunitz laughed. When he was about to answer, someone suddenly reported from the bilge: "Sir, listen to the speaker's report and heard the sound of the propeller."

"Come?" Dunitz was shocked. He was surprised and stopped watching with the telescope. He directly ordered to 'diving to the depth of the periscope', and then slipped from the slide leading to the bottom cabin from the bridge. Amid the rapid sound of electric rings, the sailors in the submarine ran to the bow of the boat at this time, and the commander of the pilot was closing the main unit, checking the valve, and the main drainage also began to work.

In the muddy air, Denitz walked towards the listening room, "Is it a fleet?"

The listener nodded and handed him the headphones he was wearing. It was hazy, and Denitz seemed to hear a thunderous sound, which was very mixed, but the more he did, the more he could say that this was a sound made up of many ships.

"Everyone is here and prepare for battle!" The first sentence of Lieutenant Dunitz put down his headphones was this. After he said that, he rushed to the periscope and began to look for the fleet from afar. This was the prey he was waiting patiently tonight.

The sound of the turbines in the headphones of the listener became louder and louder, and the periscope was in the moonlight and could see the shadows of ships from the east. Those tall and bloated were merchant ships, while those moving quickly on one side were escort destroyers. They were equipped with searchlights and emitted snow-white light columns, illuminating any suspicious place. This was the thing that submarines hated the most, but it existed.

"Originally 175, the host is fifty revolutions per minute." Second Lieutenant Dunitz ordered. He wanted to insert into the gap between the destroyer's ship and the merchant fleet, and with the guidance of the veterans, this was the best position for attack. The target was the merchant ship on the top of the north side of the fleet.

Everything was as beautiful as the Second Lieutenant expected. The submarine ub68 carefully moved a little five nautical miles in the water. The bow of the boat faced the direction of the merchant ship. He was preparing to sink the merchant ship in the front, causing chaos in the fleet, and then completely entered the free hunting time. However, man-calculation was not as good as heaven-calculation. Just when Dunitz ordered the torpedo tube to be opened, the fleet suddenly turned to avoid submarine ambushing, not only warships often did z-shaped movements, but also merchant ships often did this. On nights when the moon was unknown, the fleet began to turn every short period of sailing.

"Shooting is a color!" Denitz cursed subconsciously, and then ordered loudly: "The torpedo tube is closed. Direction 065, the host is moving forward at full speed..."

Before he could finish his order, the fleet sailing in the periscope burst into a brilliant spark. This was a submarine ambushed on the other side and had a shooting angle firing. With this violent explosion, the entire fleet fled like a hornet's nest. The searchlights on the escort destroyers shone everywhere, and the sound of gunfire and shouting continued.

"Submarine! Submarine!" Seeing the fleet in chaos, Lieutenant Dunitz no longer cared about his own safety. He shouted a few times into the periscope, and then turned to look at the commander of the engine. "Ten on the bow, five on the tail, and start the diesel engine. We must move forward at full speed. Take advantage of the chaos to kill those merchant ships!"

Sinking merchant ships in chaos is everyone's specialty. With the order of the lieutenant, submarines jumped out of the sea like flying fish. Along with the roar of the diesel engine's "bang bang bang...", ub68 quickly chased the chaotic merchant ships on the sea.

"Get the telescope sight! Go forward at full speed!" The lieutenant stood on the bridge, looking at the sparks blooming not far away, and felt more anxious. He wanted to fire a few torpedoes at the fleet now. If it was too late, the escort destroyer would go around him from the other side of the fleet. "Torpedo tube 1 to 4 prepared... Keep level, the enforcer... the enemy's speed is twelve, the distance is 3,500... the new head 03,4..."

Before Dunitz's order was finished, the first mate Mueller behind him was watching around him screamed, "Dive! Dive!" After that, he slid down, and the electric ringtone in the submarine rang again. Although Dunitz didn't know what Mueller had discovered, he still slid into the bottom cabin after Mueller slid down. Like just now, the sailors in the submarine had another commotion, and they all ran to the bow of the boat so that the angle of the bow of the boat would be larger and the speed of the diving was faster.

"What's going on?" As the sailors and non-commissioned officers were busy, Dunitz asked Mueller while turning his periscope.

"Sir, a destroyer is behind us, it has discovered us!" Mueller was still scared. The searchlight light almost blinded his eyes just now. He could be sure that the damn British had discovered ub68.

"How deep should we dive?" When we heard that we were discovered by the destroyer, the captain on the side was a little panicked. The first mate just ordered the dive and did not say how deep it would be.

"Destroyer?" Dunitz searched in the periscope. It took him a while to find the searchlight, but he could see the searchlight, which means that the searchlight also found him. "Fifteen under the bow, fifteen on the tail. Empty the diving compartment! Diving in urgent need! Pay attention to the deep water bomb!" The second lieutenant finally felt a cold that penetrated the hair marrow from the regret of not being able to chase the merchant fleet, and sweat beads on his forehead came out in an instant.

Before the emergence of deep-water bombs, submarines were invincible underwater, but since the Chinese invented the deep-water bombs, submarines under the sea became very unsafe. Although those stupid destroyers may not be able to accurately throw the bombs on their heads, every sailor was frightened whenever they heard the rumbling explosion and felt the violent shaking caused by the explosion. Although it was made of steel, the submarines under the sea were like a glass bottle filled with wine, which would be broken by the bomb shock wave if they were accidentally shattered. By then, the broken submarines would only bring everyone to the bottom of the sea where there would never be sunshine and never float up again.

During the order, the high-pressure air in the submersible cabin was quickly emptied, and sea water quickly poured into the submersible cabin. But as the submarine sank urgently, the explosion of the deep-water bomb sounded not far away. The water wave faithfully transferred the explosion energy. Not only did the boat shake violently, but the sailors holding their breath in the boat also began to shout in panic. Seeing this, the first mate kept repeating orders, asking the sailors to hold on to everything they could, while maintaining calmness.
