The British destroyer really didn’t have a fire. As far as the combat power of both sides is concerned, their commanders really have no reason to worry about such a minesweeper ― there are no torpedoes and mines, and only naval guns have very limited power.
"They told us to slow down and line up all personnel on deck!" Siegmundt translated the light signal from the British destroyer.
"Slow down!" Logan said unhurriedly, "In addition to guarding British prisoners of war and keeping boilers and turbines running, the paratroopers will go to the deck to replace submarine soldiers!"
After that, Logan Stephenberg walked on the bridge together, and the outlines of two British destroyers separated by more than 2,000 meters were quite clear. In Logan’s memory of a military documentary, an Italian submarine was submerged by two British destroyers due to a malfunction. In the battle between one enemy and two, the crew of this Italian ship actually shelled and sank a British destroyer on the only deck-it seems that the luck component in the naval battle of the new destroyer before the war is hard to describe numerically, but this special case lacks courage in value.
In a short time, the paratroopers followed the orders and assembled 40 people on the deck, which happened to meet the standard of this minesweeper. The paratroopers were influenced by their commanders to take off the outside, and the British military system was still wearing the British military police uniform with the logo torn off. What a discordant sight it is to mix the two!
The commander of the British destroyer obviously saw the situation of the minesweeper, and then the light signal came. We will send people aboard, and don’t try to resist or we will die.
From the last sentence, Logan guessed that the rage of the other party was a tragic scene in Imbrici Harbor? Is it because you were tricked by your own signal? Or is it because of radar equipment?
"Don’t be nervous, everyone. When I order the gunner to return to the gun position quickly, so will the musketeers. The rest of you will help hand over the ammunition. We will beat the shit out of those Englishmen!" Logan German greeted the deck paratroopers without worrying about being heard by the other side.
The paratroopers all looked up at their commanders with nervous, uneasy faces, but more kind smiles. In their opinion, maybe it can really solve the problem as easily as sinking a British minesweeper in Bridge Harbor?
Because Rogan Bing didn’t explain his war ideas to these paratroopers, although he saw a solitary periscope, he was absolutely sure that it was a German submarine and would help him fight ―― and it was most likely the U-6 mentioned by Falcken Berg. Of course, the world would definitely be wrong if it was a British submarine that had been doing everything in the whole war or a German submarine that happened to pass by without torpedoes!
Although the battlefield is a place where countries compete for strength and the war generals fight with each other, the importance of luck has been proved for thousands of years. At the peak of the British Empire, it benefited a lot. From the Battle of Waterloo, the French army arrived at the battlefield one step ahead, to the Battle of Verdun, it smashed the shell and sabotaged the German attack plan (although the shell was fired by the French army, the British allies were obviously the beneficiaries), and then it has been studied by historians for several times. The Bismarck sank (of course, it refers to the history of Logan. "Bismarck" has not yet.
However, this time, it was obvious that the luck of seeing the minesweeper on the Logan side of the National People’s Congress was willing to give in easily. Two British destroyers were outflanked one by one. The commanders did not take the way of docking and boarding, but chose a transport boat to transport a group of armed sailors to control the situation. Because the destroyer on the right side of the transport boat was the first to slow down the navigation during high navigation, the distance of its minesweeper was only four or five hundred meters!
When two wonderful white tail marks appeared on the sea, Luo Genxun turned to look at another destroyer, which was a little far away, about six or seven hundred meters away, but the ship’s officers and men were slowing down and releasing the traffic boat through the side elevator.
"Attention, everyone, get ready for action. Listen to my instructions …" Rogan shouted in German.
The paratroopers get excited nervously like a group of athletes waiting for the gun to start.
"They are dead!" Beside Logan, Stephenberg muttered that it was true that the officers and men of the British destroyer failed to spot the torpedo on the sea surface at the first time because of the backlight, and it would take more than twenty seconds for the torpedo to cross this distance even before the 4o festival!
After a full four or five seconds, the British finally showed two white water marks tens of meters long on the water. Obviously, the side machine gun was in a waiting state and immediately roared.
See the time has come for Logan to clench his fist and fight hard. "Ah, guys, aim at the bridge fire on the left! Beat them! "
It seems that the officers and men of the British destroyer in the distance haven’t fully understood the situation and missed the best opportunity to organize the minesweeper fire ―― in a few seconds, Thomas Miller completed the adjustment with his gun group, and had to fill the muzzle and burst out a blazing flame!
"Forward!" Logan turned his head and rushed to the rudder room. Riffard Kenberg shouted that the submarine chief engineer had already made this judgment five seconds ago
Boom
Thomas shells accurately hit the destroyer in the distance, and the main bridge was not abrupt. The warhead of the contact fuze exploded immediately. Although the flames and smoke were not enough to cover the whole bridge, Logan was still thinking about how good it would be to hang up the captain and his main assistant with this blow!
Almost at the same time as the shell exploded, the double gun on the front of the destroyer also fired. The shell roared and exploded on both sides of the minesweeper. The shrapnel instantly knocked down several German paratroopers running on the ship’s side, together with Logan on the bridge, which was also greatly threatened, but before the spray finished falling in the other direction, two deafening explosions came in succession ―― the destroyer failed to avoid one of the two torpedoes after all!
Logan fought back his heart and turned his eyes to the other side. For a 2ooo-ton destroyer, submarine torpedo shooting was too powerful. Two gray-white smoke water masses mixed with harsh flames rose in its low-level bilge and round tail respectively, and the whole hull was deformed just like a thin chopstick. Because the bilge and tail explosion points were arched, the sharp ship failed to lean forward to the high mast, and the angle was even more obvious! At this time, half of the white number of the stern was submerged in the water, and the tail pole of the military flag was obviously deviated from its original position …
Chapter 39 says don’t mess with me
After the early stage of the war, especially in the battle of Norway, the torpedoes of the German submarine force were adjusted to the best state at the first touch. Although Logan didn’t know it, he still felt sorry for himself when he saw the British destroyer being ravaged by two torpedoes.
"People!"
"What are you talking about?" Stephenberg finally picked up his wet cap and asked Logan curiously
"The spell is stronger than the spell!" Logan gave him an egg with a smiling face, "Bless our victory spell!" "
A destroyer is boring enough to save the fate of this minesweeper. Another British destroyer in the distance, despite the bombing of the bridge, did not lose its combat capability. When these naval guns went into battle, the minesweeper was almost swallowed up just by the shells stirring up the water column!
In Logan, I watched Thomas Miller lead his artillery group to shoot at the fastest speed, and both guns hit each other in succession. However, for that destroyer, the 76 mm naval gun felt a little itching after all, and every hit of enemy shells would cause great damage to this minesweeper. The first shell hit the stern of the ship and unceremoniously lifted the four anti-aircraft machine guns into the sea. The second shell easily tore a big mouth on the side of the ship, so the number of casualties on both ships increased sharply!
"Hold on!" Logan’s clenched teeth are not only encouraging himself, but also praying for the officers and men of the whole ship together with those precious radar equipment.
It takes 1o to 2o minutes for an ordinary German submarine to reload the torpedo. Because of this, the captains tend to turn around and torpedo the stern, which usually takes a few minutes, but these few minutes are still a great test for Logan and his family!
At a distance of only 5oo meters, a cutting-edge destroyer with six 12 mm caliber naval guns and a ship sighting system should be able to easily kill a minesweeper with only one 76 mm gun and no armor protection. It is not necessary to finish torpedoing, but when Logan looks at the telescope on the bridge, the British sailors have pointed two laser tubes with five pairs of fish at this side, and maybe they can shoot deadly torpedoes at any time!
After being shot one after another, the minesweeper caught fire in many places back and forth. The only lucky thing is that the ship is still twisting at the highest altitude.
"Thomas!"
Logan shouted two times, and the sergeant who was still standing next to the gun position turned his head. At this time, the slightly angry face was full of blood!
"Hit it with a fish laser tube!"
Logan felt a little regretful at this time. If he had just played like that, he might have detonated the torpedo and got rid of the destroyer at one time. Where would there be so many casualties now?
Experience is sometimes a good thing, but once a mindset is formed, it is probably a vice!
"Okay, give me a cannonball!" Thomas Miller pursed his sleeve to adjust the muzzle. At this moment, a paratrooper with a missing military cap and the same bloody face brought a shell but didn’t come to plug it into the muzzle. Another shell fell on the sea a few meters away. Unfortunately, the paratrooper was knocked down in an instant!
If it weren’t for the conditioned reflex, Thomas might have hung up. He angrily looked at the movement to the left front of the British destroyer, and it was probably hard to spray fire into his eyes. German Han struggled to pick up the shells, staggered a bad bolt into the gun bore, and finally looked at the sight mirror and resolutely pulled the gun rope!
The shell exploded in the stern of the British destroyer shortly after it left the chamber. However, before the smoke dispersed, Logan realized that the shell only hit the bridge behind two fish laser tubes. Although it caused a lot of casualties to the British sailors, it could not save the minesweeper’s almost tragic fate!
A few seconds later, the double gun in the last part of the British destroyer sprayed revenge flame again, and the shell slammed into the front of the minesweeper hull. The huge shock wave almost made Logan faint, and the eardrum was torn. If the bridge steel plate hadn’t blocked most of the shell fragments, maybe he would have soared by this time.
When I opened my eyes again, the paratroopers on the front deck were lying on the ground. The open naval gun showed a frightening shape. A breach appeared in the thick gun shield, which was bigger than the washbasin. The tail sight of the gun was missing, and even the steering wheel of the gun base was severely distorted!
Face to a stream of heat flow Logan reached out and touched it turned out to be bright red blood …
Maybe it was the thrill of trampling on the opponent’s head, or maybe the fierce fighting noise interfered with Nada. When the deck of the minesweeper with the ship number "J-36" was cleaned and completely lost its fighting ability, the British destroyer opposite suddenly stopped shelling, went counterclockwise around the stern, and the signal light sent out a forced landing message. At this moment, a torpedo emerged from the water and galloped away towards the destroyer that was not adequately guarded.
If it hadn’t been for the J-class destroyer’s fast sailing, if it hadn’t been for the distance of 5oo meters between the two sides, if it hadn’t been for the lucky lady’s decision to take care of one of the oldest active submarines of the British Navy and the German Navy, which have suffered heavy losses today, I’m afraid it would have set a new record!
The British officers and men of the ship were naturally surprised by a cold sweat. They had taken care of the dying minesweeper and focused their attention on the surface. In this way, U-6 Logan and his officers and men won the most precious 1o minute.
Ten minutes later, a large number of German Hawk finally appeared in the southern horizon. When the British destroyer saw such an appearance and wanted to torpedo the J-36 minesweeper directly, the U-6 company’s two torpedoes forced the British destroyer to turn desperately to avoid it. When it wanted to come back to deal with J-36, Stuka roared from it …
At about 11: 00 on June 27th, 194o, a scarred British minesweeper slowly sailed into the port of Dieppe in northern France. Surprisingly, this minesweeper was a mixture of German army and navy, with a hand-drawn German flag hanging from the flagpole at the stern.
The long-lost attack alarm sounded surprisingly in the port, and soon a large number of black spots appeared in the northern sky, but before they got close to dozens of BF-1O9 fighters with iron cross patterns on their wings, they rose to meet an extremely fierce battle. Several British bombers were able to fly to the port and were shot down or dispersed by nearby anti-aircraft guns in a blink of an eye!
People were in shock, but they saw a surprise scene. As soon as the British minesweeper docked, some German gendarmes couldn’t wait to detain an officer with a white bandage on his head and wearing a German paratrooper system. The Knights’ Iron Cross shone brightly in the sunshine …

"Good morning, Major!"
"Good morning!"
"Good morning, Major Logan!"
"Good morning! Sir! "
"Good morning, Hans!"
"Hey Kate, good morning! Did you sleep well last night? "
"Well, very good! Have a nice day! "
"Have a nice day, too!"
The oncoming familiar or unfamiliar officers greeted each other, dressed in a straight suit, and Logan walked quickly through the marble corridor on the first floor of the German military building with a black briefcase and took the ladder to the office on the fifth floor.
Turn the corner and sit behind a desk. Miss Jin smiles. "Good morning, Major! You look good today! "
