Iron Germany

"Woo!"

A shrill siren sounded on the battleship 'Montana'. After hearing this voice, everyone's expression changed drastically.

"Damn it, what's going on?" Admiral Hasben Kimmel was furious. He was admiring the US Navy's 1st capital ship formation destroying the German naval base with powerful artillery fire. Now, suddenly the alarm bells sounded.

"General, the radar has detected dozens of torpedo boats approaching us at high speed!" A staff officer ran into the commander and reported.

"What? Torpedo boat?" Admiral Hasben Kimmel's expression changed drastically.

"Damn the Germans, did they actually ambush the torpedo boat here? It's really despicable!" Admiral Husband Kimmel's face became very ugly. He knew very well that those torpedo boats were no different from mosquitoes in front of the huge battleship. However, the heavy torpedoes carried by those torpedo boats pose a fatal threat to these huge capital ships. Although the armor of the "Montana-class" battleship is very thick, the underwater mine protection is also very good. But if it is hit by a heavy torpedo, it will also pay a heavy price.

"Order the destroyers and light cruisers on the periphery to intercept the torpedo boats of the Germans. They must not be allowed to pose a threat to us!" Admiral Hasben Kimmel ordered through gritted teeth.

"Yes, General."

In fact, the destroyers and light cruisers of the American fleet began the attack without an order from Admiral Hasburn Kimmel. They also spotted German torpedo boats approaching at high speed.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The main guns and secondary guns of the light cruisers and destroyers were all firing crazily. Dense shells fell like raindrops, hitting the German torpedo boats.

The shells exploded in the sea, splashing a high column of water. The torpedo boats, like small boats in a storm, may be overturned by strong winds and waves at any time.

However, these German torpedo boats are not ordinary torpedo boats, but high-speed torpedo boats with a maximum speed of forty knots. These high-speed torpedo boats are like arrows leaving the string, approaching several US battleships at high speed.

"boom!"

A torpedo boat was hit by a 127mm artillery shell fired by a destroyer. For a torpedo boat with a displacement of only a few tens of tons, this has already posed a fatal threat to it. A large hole was blown in the hull and a fire broke out.

However, more torpedo boats are still advancing at high speed.

These torpedo boats were originally ambushing not far from the US fleet. After that, sail at high speed again. By the time the U.S. fleet found them and intercepted them again, it was too late.

"Fire torpedoes!" ordered the captain of a torpedo boat.

At this moment, they are less than three kilometers away from the battleship 'Ohio' of the US Navy. Although, if you get closer, the hit rate will be a little higher. But the defensive firepower of the U.S. fleet is too strong. If you continue to approach, I am afraid that it will be torn to pieces by the artillery fire of the U.S. fleet before it arrives.

"Boom, boom!"

Four torpedoes were launched from the launch tube, fell into the sea, and then rushed towards the battleship 'Ohio' at high speed.

Immediately after firing the torpedo, the torpedo boat turned and fled. With the small size of these torpedo boats, they are too invulnerable in front of the US fleet. As long as they are hit, they are often fatal. Therefore, after launching the torpedo, it is better to escape as soon as possible. As for whether he can escape, it is very difficult to say.

The other torpedo boats of the German Navy also began to launch torpedoes.

All of a sudden, heavy torpedoes were launched one after another, rushing towards the battleships of the US fleet at high speed. Of the twenty-five torpedo boats, five were destroyed before they could launch torpedoes, and the remaining twenty successfully launched torpedoes. A total of eighty 533mm heavy torpedoes were fired at the battleships of the US fleet.

"A torpedo was found on the port side, avoid it!" The sailors of the battleship 'Ohio' shouted loudly after discovering the torpedo approaching at high speed.

Although the "Montana-class" battleships have specially strengthened mine protection. However, no one wants to really try to see if they can withstand torpedoes. This is tantamount to making a joke of his own life! Once the torpedo hits and causes great damage to the battleship, the consequences will undoubtedly be very serious. Even if the speed of the ship is only affected by this, it will be very fatal. After all, after dawn, both shore-based and carrier-based aircraft of the German Navy will definitely participate in the attack. At that time, will the capital ships of the US Navy under siege be able to escape?

The full-load displacement of the "Ohio" battleship is as high as 72,000 tons, which is already a true giant at sea.

After discovering the torpedo boats of the German Navy, the battleship "Ohio" had already given up its attack on the German base and began to accelerate, preparing to evade torpedoes. Now, the speed of the battleship has increased to more than 20 knots.

However, in the face of heavy torpedoes with a speed of up to 40 knots, the battleship "Ohio" could only watch the enemy's torpedoes approaching.

However, the battleship "Ohio" was relatively lucky. None of the four 533mm heavy torpedoes could hit it. Three torpedoes missed directly, and the other torpedo passed under the belly of the battleship "Ohio" without causing any damage to it.

"God bless!" Discovering that the torpedo did not explode, the American sailors on the battleship 'Ohio' couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Everyone has a feeling of survival after disaster. After all, if the torpedo exploded under the belly of the battleship "Ohio", the consequences would be disastrous. The armor on the bottom of the ship is not too thick, once it is hit by a heavy torpedo, it is powerful enough to blow a big hole in the bottom of the ship. At that time, the battleship 'Ohio' will not be able to eat and walk around.

However, when the sailors on the battleship "Ohio" relaxed, they did not realize that the crisis was approaching them again.

A German submarine ambushed in this sea area, staring at them. This submarine is less than two kilometers away from the battleship 'Ohio'.

"Torpedo ready, launch!" The captain decisively gave the order to launch the torpedo.

A total of six 533mm heavy torpedoes were launched from the submarine's torpedo tubes and hit the battleship 'Ohio' at high speed.
