Chapter 40
If you use one sentence to describe surface ships and submarines.
An undiscovered submarine is an assassin, capable of delivering a fatal blow to ships on the surface. The destructive power of attacks under the water is stronger than on the surface.
Moreover, the underwater protection of battleships is not as good as it seems, so if they are hit from underwater, most of them are waiting to sink.
Even though the surface of the sea is riddled with holes, it can still drag the hull forward slowly, but if it is penetrated below, it is really waiting for death.
Therefore, the most important thing for a submarine is to hide itself and not be discovered by ships on the sea, otherwise it will be like the current deep-sea submarine.
The identity of the assassin is gone, and now she is just a fish waiting to be fried.
After the submarine lost the advantage of concealment, she moved slowly and was just waiting to be slaughtered.
Before going to catch fish, Lan did not forget to notify other destroyers to watch out for torpedoes.
Sure enough, Arashi noticed the torpedo reaction within less than 5 minutes of sailing, but she easily avoided it due to her speed and the battleship's maneuverability.
At the same time, the destroyers in the rear quickly received a torpedo response from the direction of Arashi.
"Sister Langley, the torpedoes on the deep-sea submarine have been discovered. Let's hide."
"Reputation, Bumblebee, your target is relatively big, avoid it first."
"Um."
Now that the deep-sea submarine has been discovered, everyone's tense hearts are temporarily relieved.
So the previously organized fleet became scattered at this moment.
Wei An and others also found a lifeboat for each of the three lifeboats. The destroyer girl followed, dodging the torpedoes.
The torpedo speed of the deep-sea submarine was not very fast. It was only 30 knots, which was about the same speed as a destroyer moving at full speed. Everyone was already ready.
Minutes passed, and the torpedo was approaching the position of Wei An and others.
But at this moment, the three destroyer ladies sounded the alarm to each other at the same time.
"torpedoes discovered torpedoes discovered"
"12 torpedoes were found approaching quickly from the northwest and are expected to arrive in 11 minutes."
"14 torpedoes were found approaching quickly from the southwest and are expected to arrive in 13 minutes."
"Eighteen torpedoes from the original due east direction will approach us in 6 minutes!"
The torpedo speed of the purple deep-sea submarine is very slow, like walking, but the new torpedo that suddenly appeared is like running.
The speed directly reached 40 knots, and a total of 44 torpedoes formed a cross mine. At this moment, Wei An and others were The crowds of people, especially the very inconvenient Reputation and Hornets, are the most dangerous.
"Don't panic! Don't panic! Have you discovered any new submarines?"
Even though she is in the highest danger now, Reputation remains as calm as ever.
After hearing Reputation's words, several ship girls immediately began to report
"They found a new submarine, not far from where they found the torpedo, so they launched the torpedo"
"Ignore these submarines for now and drop deep-explosion interception torpedoes. There is still time."
"We will move closer to you as soon as possible"
���quick."
After Reputation said, they immediately started taking action. At the same time, the destroyers also maximized their power and began to move out in the direction of the torpedoes. They were preparing to deploy mines outside.
And the torpedoes of the purple deep-sea submarine at the beginning were They were still preparing to turn around, just to intercept part of the new torpedo.
The sudden change made all the admirals nervous.
Even Wei An was nervous. The previous sneak attack in the deep sea was hard to guard against.
Deep Sea not only makes sneak attacks but also plays tricks.
It uses itself as a bait to attract everyone's attention and reduce everyone's psychological pressure.
Especially this slow torpedo is not as fast as the previous torpedoes that sank mass-produced destroyers.
She did it on purpose, in order to give Wei An and the others enough time to evade.
But this evasive action just hit her idea.
When she summoned the deep sea, she didn't expect that she was not the only one nearby. Submarine.
There were two other deep-sea submarines wandering around here. After an unsuccessful attack, she commanded these two submarines without the ability to think to start from their positions within a few minutes of her action. Throwing torpedoes, a cross mine was formed, trapping Wei An and the other ship girls inside.
The deep sea that seemed to be wandering outside was also her bait, and she only needed to stay there. The smaller the destroyer girl here is, the higher her success rate is.
But she is too high-minded to the ordinary deep sea. They can't think, and they can only understand simple commands, so she should be there. They should have taken the initiative to launch a fatal blow when they were caught.
Now that they were exposed in advance, they had enough time to deploy depth bombs to block the torpedoes.
Wei An and the ship girls were a little nervous when they were surrounded by cross mines. and crisis.
Now she is also in a crisis, because Lan has sailed the ship near her
"It's all you! Sir Jean Lan has failed in his duties today!"
"You like throwing torpedoes, right? Then you should try this."
Lan said as he opened his depth charge projector and deployed depth bombs into the water.
He wanted to leave here quickly and go back to help.
But the deep-sea submarine, knowing that he could no longer escape, chose Hitting the bottom of Lan's ship.
All her torpedoes had been launched before, and now the only attack was her own.
Bang!
There was a slight sound, and Lan felt the deep sea beneath the sea shake. The submarine had sunk to the bottom of the sea, leaving only a ball of blue light near Lan, but Lan had no energy to salvage it anymore. She heard the alarm from Reputation, so she had to hurry up. turn back
"Sister Reputation, the deep bombs have been deployed."
"I've finished it here too"
"Me too."
The three destroyers were a little breathless. After all, they had overloaded their power systems in the crisis just now.
Now they were almost exhausted.
"Thank you for your hard work."
They had already dodged the submarine torpedo that had sunk into the sea.
"It was a close call, I almost thought I was going to die here."
Bumblebee, who had been carefully controlling the aircraft and his own ship, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the series of explosions near the depth bomb.
"Yes, it is too dangerous. We must report what happened today. A submarine appeared here. We should take this as a warning to everyone and not let down our guard."
As they spoke, Reputation also sighed. They thought there was only one deep-sea submarine, but they didn't expect three.
Thinking of this
"Next it’s time to deal with these two little fishes"
