771 Unexpected 1

It's very simple, with camouflage color plus the weather in the North Sea. Think about it, during the Battle of Jutland, the German high seas fleet could hit the T-shaped horizontal head of the large fleet due to weather reasons. In the North Sea, which is famous for its bad weather and low visibility, it is too difficult to see several camouflage submarine command towers in the distance... Relatively speaking, it is easier for the camouflage raid ship to see armored cruisers or auxiliary cruisers that are 150 meters long in the distance, so it is definitely an advantage to find that the distance is.

So if the other party is an ordinary auxiliary cruiser to check, the Sea Wolf can do it either by force or by submarine ambushing. If it is a regular warship, then there is a chance to use a submarine to use a submarine. The Germans’ idea was still very comprehensive and all kinds of problems were taken into account. But unfortunately, the first cooperation between the camouflage attack ship and the submarine encountered an accident. If it was not handled well, something might really happen! And this incident also made Major Negle quite scared!

The Sea Wolf was heading on the turbulent North Sea. The ship re-disguised its appearance before sailing. They referred to the appearance of the Swedish merchant ship Stockholm and painted their ship's side in black and white. At the same time, they installed a fake chimney on the bridge, and then arranged two soldiers to release smoke inside... In addition, some cabins of the warship also prevented cables, various boards, paint and other materials, so that the Sea Wolf could also play cosplay at any time at sea...

The Seawolf and the three accompanying U-boats entered the North Sea from the Skagerak Strait on a foggy day, so they avoided the Harric Fleet close to the European continent and other British light cruisers. The first day of the voyage was very smooth. With an economic speed of 12 knots, the Seawolf successfully arrived at the exit of the North Sea, 70 kilometers west of Bergen. When they were about to rush out, the sudden appearance of the ship in the distance made Major Negle feel nervous!

The figure in the distance gradually became clear. Judging from the ship's type, it should be an auxiliary cruiser. The opponent's speed was not fast, only about 12 knots. The larger behemoth behind made Major Negle feel tight. The length of this thing is obviously more than 150 meters. Judging from the ship's type, it is also a high-speed ship. It is the kind that you can't beat or run away......

"Tell Major Otto Windingen, whether we can go out safely depends on him!" Major Negle wiped the cold sweat on his head and said. It has to be said that his luck is a bit unforgettable. Generally speaking, in order to patrol as much as possible, the British are separated. It is not easy to meet a luxurious combination of an armored cruiser with an auxiliary cruiser! A few minutes later, the three U-type submarines, u19, u21 and u32, gradually disappeared in the waves.

The British came very quickly. They obviously also discovered the Sea Wolf in the distance, but did not find the submarine hidden behind the waves and Sea Wolf. They first asked the other party to stop the ship immediately for inspection through radio signals. Then, with the armored cruiser Breslau being pressed, the auxiliary cruiser Comet began to approach Sea Wolf and laid down the boat at a distance of about 1,500 meters.

"Let some crew members stand on the deck, we need to provide opportunities for submarines!" Major Negle ordered dozens of crew members to stand on the deck. This number is already the majority of the personnel for a civilian ship. If it is under the surveillance of the other party, it means that the ship is not hostile. Maybe someone asks what to do if the other party finds clues and fires?

Before the British boarded the ship, they could not find it. If it was time to fire the gun, it was actually no difference between hiding under the deck and standing on the deck. Once the gun battle started, they would be unable to escape death...

"The British are a bit cunning!" Captain Otto looked at the British armored cruiser hiding far behind and was 4 kilometers away from the Sea Wolf and said angrily that once the submarine dived, the speed would be greatly reduced, and the maximum speed would be around 8 knots. His position was not good, and it was 4,500 meters away from the opponent's foot. Another submarine U32 was also a bit far away. It was not easy for him to accelerate and forcefully seize the position. Instead, he would consume some battery power early. In this case, members of the Comet cannot be allowed to board the Shanghai Wolf, otherwise it would be a mistake sooner or later!

"Why is Major Otto not acting yet?" said an officer, looking at the British fleets that were getting closer and closer.

"Wait a minute, we must not act rashly until the British stand on the deck." Otto wiped his cold sweat, then looked at the British auxiliary cruiser in the distance, and then looked at the British speedboat that was constantly approaching.

800 meters, 600 meters, 400 meters! As the British were about to walk the last distance, suddenly, two white traces appeared on the sea surface, and the U21 submarine attacked the first! He was responsible for cooperating with the Sea Wolf to attack the auxiliary cruiser, so he was always next to the Sea Wolf, so he was very close to the Comet auxiliary cruiser, only about 800 meters! The auxiliary cruiser naturally had to slow down or even stop the ship when releasing the boat, which made the sprinting U21 submarine have a greater grasp of!

At a distance of 800 meters, the opponent's speed does not exceed 5 knots! Through calculations, the captain of the u21 submarine easily calculated the attack route. After two torpedoes were launched, the u21 submarine immediately turned the hull. Unlike other submarines, the u21 is an offshore submarine, so it does not have 6 forward torpedo tubes like the u19 and u32. It has two fronts and two backs, so he is ready to use the tail torpedo tube to finish the drill at any time.

"Torpedo!" When the lookout hand discovered the white line suddenly appeared in the water, it was too late. It was like a scythe of death by the God of Death. Two torpedoes hit the side of the Comet at the same time. This was just an auxiliary cruiser converted into a 5,000-ton civilian ship. This attack should not be too cruel! The G7 torpedo crashed into the auxiliary cruiser at a high speed of 37 knots. The moment it collided with the hull, the TNT explosive inside the torpedo instantly detonated, and the attack of the two torpedoes was proved to be completely excessive firepower!

The entire merchant ship was instantly torn to pieces by a violent explosion. "This poor attack ship was cut into more than 4 blocks! Most of the people on the ship were killed in an instant!" Major Negle recalled this way.

The violent explosion and the water column soared into the sky made the atmosphere of the entire battlefield explode instantly. The Sea Wolf did not fire, but quickly stayed away from the battle scene like an ordinary merchant ship. The British armored cruiser was too nervous. He didn't know whether he was attacked by torpedoes or by mines.

"The target ran away! Captain." A British officer quickly reported.
