Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III
Chapter 212
At 9 p.m., a submarine with the hull number U-22 took the lead in attacking.
At this moment, this submarine is located in the northeast direction of the transport fleet of the sunset, and the distance is only about three thousand meters. It is certainly somewhat difficult to attack at this distance against warships. Warships can take advantage of high speeds for evasion.
However, dealing with slow-swallowing merchant ships is completely different. At this distance, merchant ships simply cannot escape in the face of high-speed oncoming submarines.
“Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
A dull sound sounded, and four 533-mm heavy torpedoes had already been launched from the torpedo tubes, heading straight for the transport fleet of the Sun Never Setting Empire.
Immediately afterward, U-22 dived and began to flee from the position.
You don’t need to think about it to know that you will definitely be surrounded and suppressed by warships that never set in the sun. If you continue to stay here, you will die.
At the same time, submarines also need to use this time to reload torpedoes in preparation for the next launch.
On the surface of the sea, several torpedoes sailed at high speed, leaving long traces of water.
The dark night concealed the movement on the sea, and the sun did not set and people did not know anything about the incoming submarine.
“Boom! Rumble! ”
Suddenly, several violent explosions sounded. The dazzling fire was so obvious in the night.
I saw that in the transport fleet where the sun never set, a merchant ship with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons had a big explosion.
A torpedo hit near the starboard waterline directly broke the keel of the merchant ship.
After all, the defense of merchant ships could not be compared with warships in the first place. The power of the 533-mm heavy torpedo was too great, and it directly blew off the keel of the merchant ship. In addition, this merchant ship transported all iron ore.
So much so that after being hit hard, the merchant ship began to sink rapidly into the sea.
“Boom! Rumble! ”
Two more loud bangs came, and another torpedo hit the target.
The entire transport fleet was like a pot at once.
One by one, the merchant ships began to turn sharply, wanting to escape this sea area.
The warships escorting the transport fleet also immediately increased their speed, and the sailors rushed to their posts as soon as possible. The searchlight shines towards the surface of the sea, looking for a target. Rapid-fire guns fired even more indiscriminately at the sea. It’s just that nothing is gained.
Lieutenant Colonel Cardero, who had already fallen asleep. But at the moment when the explosion came to mind, he immediately rolled over from the bed, put on his clothes and rushed into the commander.
“How’s it going?” Lieutenant Colonel Cardro asked.
“Sir, we have been attacked by a submarine that never sets, and the merchant ship ‘White Rose’ has sunk. In addition, two merchant ships were hit hard! An officer reported.
Lieutenant Colonel Cardero’s eyes turned red all of a sudden, he didn’t expect that he had been so careful, but he was still ambushed by the submarine that never sets.
“Bastard! Immediately find out the submarines that never set and finish them off. Order other merchant ships not to mess around, otherwise there is a high probability of ship collisions, and the Germanic submarines will be given more opportunities! Lieutenant Colonel Cardro ordered.
In fact, without Lieutenant Colonel Cadero’s order, two L-class submarines were already rushing to the target sea area.
Depth charges were dropped continuously.
Depth charges exploded in the sea, splashing columns of water that rushed into the sky.
At this time, the U-9 submarine also emerged from under the surface.
“Sir, our location is good, the submarine that never sets is in our southwest direction!” An officer said excitedly.
“Fire now! Then immediately dive and reload the torpedo! Major Widigen ordered.
“Yes, sir!” The officer replied.
“Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
Four 533-mm heavy torpedoes were fired from the torpedo tubes and rushed at high speed towards the convoy of transports that never set in the sun.
After that, the submarine U-9 immediately dived and urgently evaded.
At the same time, other submarines of the Germanic Imperial Navy also began to attack.
For a time, torpedoes flew on the sea.
“Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
Explosions continued to sound, and merchant ships that never set were torpedoes.
For these merchant ships, often a 533-mm heavy torpedo was enough to hit them hard. If you are unlucky and the key position is hit, you will be directly sunk.
A large number of submarines of the Germanic Imperial Navy constantly attacked.
So much so that the transport fleet of the Sun Never Set Empire was dealt an extremely heavy blow.
“Boom! Rumble! ”
Explosions rang out, and merchant ships were constantly hit, or even sunk directly.
The escort fleet of the fleet was also thrown into chaos.
Although they are constantly looking for targets with searchlights and firing from rapid-fire guns. At the same time, depth charges are constantly being dropped.
But unfortunately, this is not of much use at all.
The submarines of the Germanic Imperial Navy were very cunning, often diving to avoid it immediately after firing torpedoes. This made the warship that never set empty.
“Abominable! Damn Germans, they are so mean. Can’t they fight us in a naval battle with dignity? What a hero is it to hide underwater and launch an attack like this! Lieutenant Colonel Cardro saw his own merchant ships being torpedoes hit one after another, and his teeth were about to be crushed.
This time the escort failed, and he undoubtedly had to take responsibility. If you don’t do it, you will be required to be forced to retire.
This is simply a shame for him!
“Sir, there are many submarines of the Germans. They broke into their ambush circle! An officer said with a sad face.
Lieutenant Colonel Cardro naturally understood this.
If it were just one or two submarines, it would not have dealt them such a big blow at all. It is clear that several, even a dozen, submarines have long been secretly ambushed here and ambushed them.
This made Lieutenant Colonel Cardro very humiliated.
If the submarines of the Germanic Empire could be found, a destroyer would be able to sink them all. But it is a pity that the submarines hiding under the water do nothing for them.
The submarines of the Germanic Imperial Navy were still attacking, knowing that all the torpedoes would be fired before diving away.
The entire attack lasted more than half an hour.
After that, calm returned to the sea.
It’s just that the transport fleet that never sets was completely solved. All merchant ships, all sunk. Those escort warships were not damaged. But the entire transport fleet was wiped out, which was an extremely heavy blow to the entire Sun Never Set Empire.
