"The left rudder is full, and the two main engines are moving forward at full speed, leaving this hellish place." Dönitz ordered. His voice was quickly heard in the engine room. The sound of the motor driving the propeller seeped into everyone's eardrums, and everyone wanted to get out of this hellish place right away.

"No! Sir, it's coming at us. The listener stood up excitedly and looked helplessly at the captain Dönitz, who was surrounded by sailors, sweating all over his head!

"Dive deeper!" Dönitz's eyes staring at the ceiling rolled, he scratched the sweat on his forehead, and then looked at the first mate beside him and said, "Twenty under the bow and five at the tail, we have to go deeper, deeper!" ”

The bow sank again, and the diving pod, which was full of seawater, carried the entire submarine to the bottom of the sea, and at the same time, under the huge water pressure, the hull began to emit a squeaking **. Whether to be killed by depth charges or crushed by the sea, this choice is indeed not so good. But there was no choice now, and with two more violent explosions, the sailors in the submarine were tossed around the boat even if they grabbed everything they could, and some of the closed valves were burst open by the huge water pressure, and the hissing sea water sprayed in through the joints of the pipes.

Dönitz was about to shout to check the valves when the hull of the boat jerked in the water stirred up by the explosion, the lights went out everywhere, and the submarine was pitch black, and he could feel the submarine fall into the water like a dead fish, and quickly sink to the bottom of the sea. Ignoring the shouts of the sailors, he shouted loudly into the engine room: "Empty the ballast tank!" Empty all ballast water tanks...... and stop! Full speed back! Full speed back! ”

First mate Moussen also found that the situation was extremely critical, and the reason why the lights went out should be due to the battery falling when the hull was reversed, and for a submarine under the water, losing power is equivalent to losing all power. While the submarine was being shaken by the blast wave, he kept ordering the sailor to go to the stern, because this would make the bow upturned and the submarine would not get deeper and deeper.

Although the officers gave the correct order, the shock of the deep-water explosion outside the boat also stopped, and the sailors even ran to the stern ballast, but after Dönitz and Mussen checked the pressure gauge in the command tower with a flashlight, they found that the submarine was still going down, and their eyes were split, just when they called to God, the pressure gauge clock fluttered between two hundred and seventy to three hundred, and then, the pressure gauge turned extremely fast, at this time, the tank was emptied, and the submarine with a light hull rose to the surface like a stick stuck to the bottom.

"Nope! No!! "Dönitz slapped the water pressure gauge in great pain. Isn't it death if you go down, and death if you go up?

The submarine leapt dramatically from the bottom of the sea, landing right in the beam of a destroyer's searchlight. "Submarine!" The ship's gunners exclaimed, and then the shells fired. Dönitz in the boat had long expected this scene, and the best way to get out of this predicament was to dive again, but the submarine had no power and the compressed air in the boat had run out, so all he could do was to be sunk by the destroyer.

"Surrender!" Dönitz looked at the sailors who were terrified again after escaping death in the boat, and said helplessly.

"I ...... I agree. First mate Mussen squirmed uneasily, and he glanced at the sailors around him before agreeing. The submarine was damaged, and surrender was the only option. (To be continued......)
