Iron Germany
Chapter 411 Chaos
The sound of 'bang, bang' coming from underwater did not attract anyone's attention.
No one found the water marks left by the six torpedoes sailing at high speed on the sea. The night became the best cover for the German submarine attack.
"Quick! Quick! Load the next batch of torpedoes. Turn around immediately and aim at the next batch of targets." Lieutenant Colonel Dönitz ordered.
"Yes, sir."
The submariners were busy loading torpedoes, and at the same time, the submarine was also turning. Lieutenant Colonel Dönitz was obviously planning to hit as many targets as possible this time.
The battleship 'War Spite' is the second of the 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships. This is a huge battleship with a displacement of 33,000 tons. It is equipped with four twin 42-caliber 381mm main guns, and more It is amazingly powerful. However, compared with the 380mm 50-caliber main gun equipped by the German Navy, it is undoubtedly much worse. In terms of artillery technology, Germany has a clear advantage.
The "Queen Elizabeth-class" battleship and the "Revenge-class" battleship have become the main battleships of the British Navy, and they are also the trump cards against the German Navy. It's just that the British Navy does not have much confidence in whether these two classes of battleships can really confront the powerful battleships of the German Navy. In the previous naval battles, the strength of the German navy and the advanced warships undoubtedly taught them a good lesson.
It was already late at night, and the sailors on the battleship 'War Spite' had already rested.
A British sailor, yawning, walked out of the ring, wanting to boo him. Although, there are toilets on the battleship. However, he still prefers to sprinkle directly into the sea.
It's just that when he just escaped from the guy and was about to release the water. His sleepy eyes suddenly widened.
"God! What is that?" The British sailor couldn't help but exclaimed. He clearly saw that the two water marks rushed towards their battleship more quickly. That thing looks like a torpedo sailing fast on the sea.
"Damn it, that's a torpedo! Get up, we've been attacked by enemy torpedoes!" The British sailors exclaimed. His shout, under the silent night sky, spread far, far away. It also attracted the attention of many officers on duty.
However, all this is still too late.
Two 533mm heavy torpedoes, under the terrified eyes of the British sailor, slammed into the hull of the battleship 'War Spite'.
"Boom! Boom!"
Immediately, two huge explosions sounded, and flames burst out from the side of the battleship 'War Spite'.
After the warheads of the two heavy torpedoes exploded, the tremendous power directly tore apart the underwater armor of the battleship 'War Spite'. Although the underwater armor of the battleship 'War Spite' is as thick as 330 mm, it still cannot resist it.
The huge impact caused the sleeping sailors in the battleship to fall under the bed one after another, and some of them were even injured by falling.
The sea water rushed into the battleship along the torn armor, making the battleship's situation even more critical.
"My God! What's going on? Have we been hit?"
"Damn it, did some accident happen?"
The British sailors on the battleship 'War Spite' rushed out of the cabin in panic. Everyone knows that if they are really attacked, they will only be more dangerous staying on the battleship.
When these sailors rushed out, they happened to see the side of the battleship being flooded with water. The damage control started immediately, but, in this dark situation, it is conceivable to want to plug the loopholes.
Admiral John Jellicoe and Lieutenant General David Beatty, who were staying at the headquarters to discuss the issue, were also shocked by the explosion.
"What's going on? Did the ammunition depot explode?" Admiral John Jellicoe frowned. He didn't want such an accident to happen at such a critical moment.
"It's not like! It's the 'War Spite'. He seems to have been hit." Lieutenant General David Betty's face was a little ugly.
"It was hit, how is this possible?" Admiral John Jellicoe obviously couldn't believe it. After all, this is the home port of the Grand Fleet, and it can be regarded as their lair. The defense is so strict, not only there are so many warships, but also the coastal defense forts are also densely covered. Under such circumstances, how could it be possible to be attacked by the enemy?
"Boom! Boom!"
At this moment, there were two loud bangs again. I saw that the side of another battleship also burst into dazzling flames.
General John Jellicoe and Lieutenant General David Beatty were stunned.
This was just the beginning, and then, two explosions sounded again.
"Damn it, submarine, it was a German submarine. We were attacked by a German submarine!" Lieutenant General David Beatty said angrily.
"Warspite, Warrior and Conqueror were all hit!" Admiral John Jellicoe paled. He clearly remembered the berths of every capital ship in the Grand Fleet. These capital ships were attacked by torpedoes. Obviously, the situation would be very bad. Even if they were not sunk, they would be severely damaged. In this case, the strength of the Royal Navy will be further weakened in the next battle. It will be even more difficult for them to win future naval battles.
Violent explosions occurred one after another, and several battleships were attacked, causing Scapa Flow to become a mess. The high-power searchlights have been turned on, and they are scanning back and forth on the sea, looking for targets. Destroyers are also being activated one after another, ready to catch the despicable raiders.
At this time, the German sailors on the U-037 submarine were loading torpedoes.
"No. 1 torpedo tube is loaded!"
"No. 2 is loaded!"
Lieutenant Colonel Doenitz was very anxious. There had been an explosion, though he didn't know if he had succeeded. However, what he had to do was to launch the remaining six torpedoes as quickly as possible, and then escape. Otherwise, they might not be able to escape.
"No. 6 torpedo tube is loaded!"
"Launch immediately!" Lieutenant Colonel Doenitz ordered immediately.
At this moment, the submarine has completed its turn and is aiming at a new target. It only needs to launch the torpedo. As for whether he could hit the target, Lieutenant Colonel Dönitz didn't care too much.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
6 torpedo tubes launched the torpedoes successively. Six torpedoes frantically fired towards their respective targets.
"Quick, dive right away, and run away. Guys, pray to God, we can escape alive and go back to Germany!" Lieutenant Colonel Dönitz said.
The U-037 submarine escaped, and at the moment Scapa Flow is in chaos.
