Chapter 470: Faith Shattered

Humanitarian relief? Can anyone be sure? And those who were rescued, if they leaked out, would bring great trouble to the United States! Roosevelt was under pressure to make subsequent arms and personnel exports to Britain. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Now, the only thing they could do was to sink the Germans' submarines! That's the safest thing!

As a leader, you have to be courageous, and when you need it, you have to sacrifice some people.

"And what about our people up there?" Captain Kyle asked.

"Let a nearby ship come to the rescue." Churchill said.

Ships nearby? The most recent one, it will take seven or eight hours to get there, and by then, it will be dark, and those who have fallen into the water will be able to hold out until the rescue comes?

Captain Kyle's heart suddenly shuddered, he already knew Churchill's intentions, and in order to avoid the leakage of news, he did not hesitate to sacrifice these people!

Churchill's order was very accurate, and the squadron of torpedo planes, flying on the surface of the sea, soon received the order and moved on!

During this period, the British Navy was equipped with a large number of Swordfish torpedo machines, which were completely outdated, although the wings brought reliable cornering performance, but other capabilities were a mess, especially the maximum speed was only 230 kilometers per hour, which was old.

Now, other major powers of this era have begun to equip themselves with monoplane attack aircraft, and Britain, as a naval power, naturally took the initiative and began the development of a new monoplane carrier-based attack aircraft.

The result of this development is the current Barracuda attack aircraft.

This aircraft is very unusual, when most aircraft use a lower wing, it uses an upper wing, and the tail is still a peculiar T-shaped tail brace, this strange appearance has won it the recognition of one of the ugliest aircraft of all the aircraft produced in World War II, and the contemporaneous "Skuas" and later "Marauders".

Not only the enemy, but even the Royal Navy itself did not like it, jokingly calling it "an aircraft designed by a group of crazy designers in an insane asylum".

But, in any case, at least the appearance of such aircraft, which allowed Britain to have advanced torpedo machines, finally kept up with the trend of the times.

Moreover, after they were manufactured, most of the aircraft remained on the shore for the time being, for the simple reason that their aircraft carriers were blown up, and now, there are only two or three small aircraft carriers left.

The full transition to a wartime system allows them to build aircraft carriers with a sufficient budget, but this will take time, and the best option is to lease them from the United States.

Unfortunately, this road is not easy to follow.

The Barracuda was a torpedo bomber that could carry both torpedoes and bombs, acting as a dive bomber, and now, in its belly, it had a torpedo on it, and the plane took off the moment it received the order.

Now, the Barracuda has just entered the development stage, and the production is scarce, and this aircraft is actually just a test aircraft.

Behind it, there were several Swordfish torpedo planes, but alas, the speed of such aircraft was too slow, and by the time it reached the target position, it would be dark.

Therefore, the Barracuda flew in the front, and in the cockpit of the three, the pilot was adjusting his position for the last time, heading towards the direction indicated by the reconnaissance plane.

The sun slowly slid down to the west, and after an hour and a half of flight, the pilot finally appeared in his field of vision.

On the sparkling sea, the submarine was in a state of continued floating, the deck of the submarine was full of people, and several lifeboats were towed behind it.

"Attention, air defense alert, eastern waters, fifty meters at a height, British torpedo machines were spotted!" At this time, on the conning tower, Youde, a sailor in charge of the lookout, shouted loudly.

Although it is impossible to determine the specific model, you can see the torpedo in the belly of the opponent!

This has fully shown that the other party has bad intentions!

At the same time, the British, who were standing densely on the deck, also saw the plane, and in an instant, they cursed: "Damn, what is this for?" ”

Teucer was also shocked, he had already recognized it, it was the latest British development of the Barracuda torpedo machine, and now, the other party came here, I'm afraid there is only one purpose, that is, to blow up this submarine!

You have been abandoned!

When they found out that they had been captured, the higher-ups didn't even think about rescuing them, but instead sent them to hell!

Bruce was also looking at the plane, and when he found out, he was still excited, but then, he felt that a wall called faith in his brain had collapsed.

"Damn it, quick, jump into the water!" Bruce shouted loudly.

By this time, he had already heard the sound of clanging.

"Close all hatches and dive urgently!" Prion shouted loudly.

At this time, Prion no longer insisted, and no longer cared about the lives of those British, that plane was about to attack his own side!

The other party is too cunning, coming from a super low altitude!

Urgent dive! The soldiers on the control tower are quickly drilling into the control tower and closing the watertight door, and the sailors inside quickly open the pipes of the ballast water tank, and the turbulent sea water is poured into the ballast water tank.

At the front of the submarine, a huge whirlpool appeared, and while the submarine was advancing, it began to sink and sink, and soon, the deck entered the water, and then the conning tower also entered the water.

The British, who were still on the deck just now, were stunned, and there was no solid deck under their feet! They let out a cry of terror, and they fell into the sea again!

The most terrifying thing is the lifeboats hanging on the ropes in the back, and in the emergency dive, no one cares about untying the ropes, so these lifeboats followed into the seawater!

The people in the lifeboat also fell into the water!

Not everyone knows how to swim! They screamed and rolled on the sea, and a few big waves came, and the people disappeared.

Swimming hard in the water, Bruce looked up and watched the torpedo machine quickly turn to the side of the submarine, and then, the torpedo fell from its belly and swam quickly towards the location where the submarine had just dived!

At this time, the conning tower of the submarine had just entered the water, and the speed of this torpedo machine was really fast!

Bruce was even more horrified in his heart, this torpedo was coming towards his side!

That's of course, after all, they are in the vicinity of the submarine, the submarine dives, of course they are left!

Swim, be sure to get as far away from that torpedo as possible!

Bruce knew very well in his heart that torpedoes were collision fuses, and if they hit themselves and exploded, they would definitely be gone!

He doesn't want to die yet!

Bruce swam and swam as fast as he could, until there was a loud sound of water and a scream behind him.

An unlucky bastard, who was actually hit directly by a torpedo! The speed of the torpedo was quite high, and the impact broke his bones, and he screamed a few times before being swallowed by the sea.

The torpedo also made a turn under the impact, and at the same time, its speed was greatly reduced, and it hit another one.

Before it could speed up, it had a close encounter with Bruce!
