"Quick, increase the speed to 10 knots. We must leave here as soon as possible." Lieutenant Colonel Dönitz ordered, with excitement and nervousness on his face.
There is no doubt that their operation this time has been successful. The explosions heard before undoubtedly showed that the Torpedo they launched had hit the target. Regardless of whether the Torpedo launched in the second round could hit the target, their results this time were already very good. If the six Torpedo launched in the second round can hit one or two targets again, this will allow them to achieve greater results.
However, for Lieutenant Colonel Dönitz and other crew members, the most important thing is how to safely escape from Scapa Flow and escape back to Germany. Otherwise, the angry Britain people will definitely tear them into pieces.
Submarine U-037 began to sail quickly towards the waterway of Scapa Flow, trying to escape from here. After they hit a lot of British Navy's Capital Ships, British Navy was already pissed off. On the sea, searchlights were swaying everywhere, and destroyers one after another began to search for suspicious targets. If they stay any longer, I'm afraid they will be sunk before long. Therefore, you must escape as soon as possible to ensure your own safety.
At this moment, the officers and soldiers of Scapa Flow and British Grand Fleet were all going crazy. The sudden sneak attack caused them heavy losses. This is a shame for every Royal Navy soldier. They all want to do their best to find German submarines and destroy it to wash away the shame. Of course, even if they sank the Germany submarine, they would not be able to make up for the losses. The cost of a Capital Ships is more than twenty times that of a submarine!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Suddenly, there was another explosion in Scapa Flow. Two Battleship were hit again. This made the officers and soldiers of Royal Navy stunned.
"God! 'Colossus' and 'Neptune' were hit."
"Damn it, is there more than one Germany submarine sneaking in?"
'Colossus' Battleship and 'Neptune' Battleship are both book friend dreadnoughts. They are equipped with 305mm Main Gun, and their armor is weaker than that of super-Dreadnought. The 'Colossus' number Battleship ate two Heavy Torpedo, two big holes were blown out of the waterline armor, and it began to sink. Although the number 'Neptune', Battleship, was relatively lucky, I only ate one Torpedo. However, its weak underwater armor was still unable to withstand it, and a large hole was torn open. Sea water is pouring crazily into the body of the Battleship ship of the 'Neptune'. Such an injury is already considered a serious injury.
John? Admiral Jellicoe and David? Vice Admiral Beatty had pale faces. Originally, Royal Navy was already at a disadvantage when facing German Navy. Now, they were attacked by the Germany submarine inside Scapa Flow, causing them heavy losses. If this continues, Royal Navy's strength will be further weakened. When they face German Navy, their disadvantage will be even more obvious.
If Royal Navy had a 20% chance of winning before, now, they have almost no chance of winning even 10%.
It can almost be said that Royal Navy is destined to fail in future naval battles. Such a result is undoubtedly something that no one is willing to accept. They had already lost the battle before it was even fought. This made John? Admiral Jellicoe and David? Vice Admiral Beatty feel very unwilling.
"Go all out to rescue the injured warship! In addition, send more destroyers to search, and be sure to find German submarines!" John? Admiral Jellicoe said through gritted teeth.
Now he can only hope that those injured Battleship are minor injuries. In this case, it will be repaired in a short time. If the injury is serious, it will take more time. Obviously, German Navy would never give them that much time.
John? Admiral Jellicoe hated the Germany submarine that attacked them even more. If Lieutenant Colonel Dönitz and others were standing in front of him now, he would definitely kill them all without hesitation.
"Yes, General." David? Vice Admiral Beatty nodded. He was also very negative in his heart. This time the situation is undoubtedly worse! Royal Navy It has become more difficult to win future naval battles.
"Damn Germany people, they are like mice, where are they hiding? Quick, pursue south. Prepare depth bombs, blow up those Germany people for me." The captain of a Britain destroyer ordered.
Soon, the depth charges were ready. These depth charges, which looked like buckets, were pushed hard into the sea by the British Navy soldiers.
"Boom! Boom!"
A dull explosion came from underwater, but nothing came up except a few killed fish.
German Navy's U-037 submarine is hiding underwater and wants to escape. Although their speed has increased to ten knots, their speed is still very slow compared to destroyers with speeds of more than thirty knots.
"How long will it take for us to escape Scapa Flow?" Lieutenant Colonel Dönitz asked.
"Sir, at the current speed, it will take at least another hour."
Lieutenant Colonel Dönitz's brows couldn't help but frown tightly. For them, this hour is undoubtedly the most dangerous time.
British Navy destroyers kept passing over their heads, making them afraid to even raise their periscopes. Once discovered by British Navy, it would mean certain death.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A dull explosion sounded. This was the British Navy depth charge exploding. The shock wave generated after the explosion caused the underwater submarine to shake. The Germany submariners inside all looked pale, fearing that the submarine would be hit.
"Crunch! Crunch!"
This is the sound made by the pressure-resistant shell of the submarine. The huge water pressure formed after the explosion of the depth bomb is also a huge test for the shell of the submarine.
Fortunately, the latest U-200 submarine performed very well and successfully withstood the huge water pressure, which made the German submarines soldiers breathe a sigh of relief.
Next, British Navy's pursuit of the U-037 submarine continued, but failed. It was not until dawn that British Navy gave up the pursuit. Because they knew that the Germany submarine had successfully escaped.
Although North Sea is not big, it is also very difficult to chase down a submarine on the vast sea.
