Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 783 783 White Tracks

It was a battleship whose design was basically based on the Bavarian-class battleship. It was designed by Tang Guo's designer, so in terms of performance, Tang Guo almost knew the basics.

At this moment, this behemoth with a full load displacement of nearly 4 tons is turning, and there are more warships moving further away.

"Two torpedoes! Aim at the target! Adjust the bow!" After seeing the warship in the distance through the periscope, the captain of the submarine excitedly began to issue an attack order.

Because of the long distance, they must launch torpedoes in advance and calculate the angle to hit the target accurately.

As for shortening the distance, it is actually impossible. If the submarine wants to shorten the distance, it cannot get close to the target, because even if there is only one periscope tube on the sea surface during the day, it is extremely easy to be found.

If you dive all the way close to the surface, it is very dangerous for the submarine itself: if there is a warship passing by the surface, and the two sides collide, it is obvious that the submarine will suffer.

Even if there is less accurate sonar to judge the position of other warships, doing so is very dangerous: there are too many propellers, too many warships, and sonar cannot accurately locate every target.

Therefore, it is a wise way to secretly launch torpedoes at a safe distance: in the face of such a dense battleship formation, torpedoes will always hit the target.

All they have to do is to shoot out all the torpedoes and wait for these torpedoes to hit the target.

"Torpedo No. 1 is ready!" The officer in charge of torpedo launching looked at the pressure gauge and shouted loudly. After a pause of two seconds, he confirmed the situation of the second torpedo: "Torpedo No. 2 is ready!"

"The calculation of the aiming angle is completed! The bow of the boat has been aligned with the attack route!" Seeing that the mechanical computer had accurately calculated the launch angle, the adjutant shouted loudly.

"Launch!" The captain shouted, and with his shout, the torpedo launch officer pressed the launch button, injected seawater into the torpedo tube, and energized the torpedo inside.

The hatch of the torpedo tube directly in front of the submarine slowly opened, and the remaining air bubbles rolled out and floated to the sea surface.

Afterwards, the electrified torpedo was pushed out of the torpedo tube by the compressed air, and the propeller stirred up the turbid seawater, and drove straight ahead.

Immediately afterwards, the second torpedo launch tube was opened, and amidst the tumbling bubbles, the second torpedo also rushed into the distance with its wake.

"No. 1 and No. 2 torpedoes have been launched!" In the command cabin, the torpedo launching officer reported loudly.

"Adjust the course! Aim at a new target! The opponent's speed is the same, and they are turning! The attack direction has been corrected... by two degrees! Calculate the angle between the attacks!" the captain ordered to the adjutant.

"Adjust, left rudder twice!" The helmsman on the side immediately began to turn his steering wheel and began to correct the orientation of his submarine.

"Launch the torpedo!" The captain made a decisive decision and issued the command to attack again.

The torpedo launch officer, who had been waiting for this order for a long time, immediately repeated the captain's order, and then resolutely launched the No. [-] and No. [-] torpedoes.

They don't intend to miss such an attack opportunity, as long as they can launch enough torpedoes in a short period of time, they will definitely receive enough results.

Amidst the busyness, the submarine adjusted its orientation again, and fired two more torpedoes at the huge combined fleet in the distance.

These are their last two bow torpedoes. If they want to launch torpedoes at the fastest speed, they can only turn the bow and launch two more torpedoes from the torpedo tube at the stern.

"Turn! Turn!" The captain of this submarine did the same thing. He wanted to use the time when the submarine turned to reload the bow torpedo, and then launch a new round of attacks with the bow torpedo after launching the stern torpedo. .

"Steering! Full left rudder!" The helmsman excitedly turned his steering wheel, and the rudder of the submarine quickly turned to one side, and the whole submarine turned rapidly under the calm water.

"I hope they can hit the target!" The sailors wiping the spare torpedoes sent out their most sincere prayers.

On the sea in the distance, the lookouts standing guard on the mast were shivering with cold, spraying clouds of white mist from their mouths.This is the northern sea area of ​​Mirage, and low temperature is always the main theme.

If it weren't for the fact that there are not many routes, they wouldn't be hiding here, wasting several months in order to avoid Tang's secret weapon submarine.

On the Battleship Neverwinter 2, the sailors complained about their two or three months of wandering at sea, cursing those damn naval commanders.

From time to time, they receive supplies at sea, and then replenish fuel and coal in some small ports. The whole process must be careful, almost no different from hamsters.

Such a huge fleet should have entered the enemy's port invincibly and destroyed the enemy's fleet.But now that the war has started, they don't even have the courage to go south to take a look.

"Damn it, when did this kind of thing end?" A sailor jumped and cursed while putting his hands together: "The group of officers drink in the officer's room every day, let us come out and stand and blow!"

The nose of the companion standing next to him was red from the cold, and he breathed out white mist and comforted him: "I heard that there will be peace talks? I think we are going home soon."

Everyone has a basic judgment on this war. Many things have become meaningless, and it is time for the reform to end.

It is not cheap to feed such a large fleet. Since it has been useless, shouldn't it be disbanded?
The war has been lost, and the previous plan to strangle Tang's maritime transportation line has completely failed, so what's the use of continuing?

"I hope it ends quickly, this shitty place! I don't want to stay here for a minute!" The watchman, holding his hands together, complained and saw a strange white mark on the sea.

To be honest, he has never seen what a torpedo looks like, but he has heard the description and knows that a straight white line cannot be formed in nature.

"Hey! Look at that white line over there! What's going on?" He grabbed the binoculars on his chest and reminded his companion.

The sailor whose nose was red from the cold also quickly grabbed the binoculars hanging on his chest, and looked in the direction his companion reminded him of.

In his eyepiece, he saw the white trail, which was coming in their direction, extremely fast.

While he was in a daze, the sailor who first spotted the white track had already grabbed the phone on the observation deck, and desperately reminded the officer on duty in the bridge loudly: "Starboard! Starboard! A white track was found !Rushing toward my ship! Rushing toward my ship!"

As soon as he grabbed the phone receiver, he heard someone shouting starboard and starboard. The officer on duty looked at the sea through the porthole, and almost scared his soul out of his body.

There, a white straight track that should not appear in nature is rapidly approaching where he is.

In fact, they have been receiving all kinds of news about "submarines". Although they have never seen it, they are studying it every day.

These people are no strangers to torpedoes, because they have heard adjectives such as white trails and powerful power countless times.

So when he saw this thing, he knew it was a torpedo, almost a subconscious reaction.

But knowing it is one thing, how to solve it is another.So far, there is not much experience in successfully avoiding torpedoes, and how to avoid them can only be guessed.

The kind of captain who knows whether to reverse the car or turn left and right to avoid torpedoes just by looking at it must at least have relevant experience to learn from.

But now, let the officer on duty just take a look at it, let him judge how to avoid the torpedo... He seems to have no such ability.

If he didn't have the skills, he could only try with his eyes closed, so he could only grit his teeth and ordered loudly: "Zuo full rudder! Quick! Zuo full rudder!"

Originally, their battleship was turning to the left, but now the full left rudder increases the turning radius, which seems to be a priority for evasion.

"Full left rudder!" Accompanied by his order, the helmsman quickly turned the huge steering wheel and repeated loudly.

"Signal to the cruiser in front! Let them search the sea! Quick!" The officer on duty hastened to order: "Sound the battle alarm! Call the captain's room! Please come to the bridge immediately!"

He speaks very fast, and it can be seen that he is very anxious.In the next second, the battle alarm of the entire battleship sounded, and at the same time the battleship began to turn rapidly.

Accompanied by the undulating waves, the battleship that looked like a huge island began to increase its turning speed, which was much more flexible than it looked.

The bow of the battleship shattered the waves ahead, and the four giant cannons on the deck in front of the battleship were swallowed by the broken waves, and then rushed out of the waves, showing the heroism of steel.

"Tail! There is still a track at the tail!" An officer who had been observing the sea shouted in horror when he saw the second torpedo.

The officer on duty who heard the shout immediately walked to the side, and looked towards the stern of the ship through the porthole.

Sure enough, he also saw the white track, but looking at it like this, the torpedo at the tail couldn't hit them.

He couldn't help but rejoice, thinking that it was because of his steering order that his battleship avoided the second torpedo!

Putting down the binoculars, he immediately added an order: "Immediately send a signal to the battleship Neverwinter 1 in the rear! Remind them to be careful of submarines! Watch out for the sea surface!"

After a few seconds of silence, he continued to shout: "Also! Send a telegram to all warships at the same time, we have encountered a submarine attack! Watch out for the sea!"
