The sound of 'bang, bang' coming from underwater did not attract anyone's attention.

The water marks left by the six torpedoes sailing at high speed on the sea surface were also not found. The night became the best cover for the German submarine attack.

"Quick! Quick! Load the next batch of torpedoes. Turn immediately and aim at the next batch of targets." Lieutenant Colonel Dönitz ordered.

"Yes, sir."

The submariners were busy loading torpedoes, and at the same time, the submarine was turning. Lieutenant Colonel Dönitz was obviously planning to hit as many targets as possible this time.

The battleship 'War Spite' is the second of the 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships. This is a huge battleship with a displacement of 33,000 tons. It is equipped with four twin 42-caliber 381mm main guns, and more It is amazingly powerful. However, compared with the 380mm 50-caliber main gun equipped by the German Navy, it is undoubtedly much worse. In terms of artillery technology, Germany has a clear advantage.

The "Queen Elizabeth-class" battleship and the "Revenge-class" battleship have become the main battleships of the British Navy, and they are also the trump cards against the German Navy. It's just that the British Navy does not have much confidence in whether these two classes of battleships can really confront the powerful battleships of the German Navy. In the previous naval battles, the strength of the German navy and the advanced warships undoubtedly taught them a good lesson.

It is already late at night, and the sailors on the battleship 'War Spite' have already rested.

A British sailor walked out of the scene yawning, wanting to boo him. Although, there are toilets on the battleship. However, he still prefers to sprinkle directly into the sea.

It's just that when he just escaped from the guy and was about to release the water. His sleepy eyes suddenly widened.

"God! What is that?" The British sailor couldn't help but exclaimed. He clearly saw that the two water marks rushed towards their battleship more quickly. That thing looks like a torpedo sailing fast on the sea.

"Damn, that's a torpedo! Get up, we're under enemy torpedo attack!" The British sailors exclaimed. His shout, under the silent night sky, spread far, far away. It also attracted the attention of many officers on duty.

However, it was too late.

Two 533mm heavy torpedoes, under the terrified eyes of the British sailor, slammed into the hull of the battleship "War Spite".

"Boom! Boom!"

Immediately, two huge explosions sounded, and flames burst out from the side of the battleship 'War Spite'.

After the warheads of the two heavy torpedoes exploded, the huge power directly tore apart the underwater armor of the battleship 'War Spite'. Although the underwater armor of the battleship 'War Spite' is as thick as 330 mm, it still cannot resist it.

The huge impact caused the sleeping sailors in the battleship to fall under the bed one after another, and some of them were even injured.

The sea water poured into the battleship along the torn armor, making the situation of the battleship even more critical.

"God! What's going on? Did we get hit?"

"Damn, could there be some accident?"

The British sailors on the battleship 'War Weary' rushed out of the cabin in panic. Everyone knows that if they are really attacked, they will only be more dangerous staying on the battleship.

When these sailors rushed out, they happened to see that the side of the battleship was flooding with water. The damage control started immediately, but, in this dark situation, it is conceivable to want to plug the loopholes.

Admiral John Jellicoe and Lieutenant General David Beatty, who were staying at the headquarters to discuss the issue, were also shocked by the explosion.

"What's going on? Did the ammunition depot explode?" Admiral John Jellicoe frowned. He didn't want such an accident to happen at such a critical moment.

"It doesn't look like it! It's the 'War Spite'. He seems to have been hit." Lieutenant General David Betty's face was a little ugly.

"It was hit, how is this possible?" Admiral John Jellicoe obviously couldn't believe it. After all, this is the home port of the Grand Fleet, and it can be regarded as their lair. The defense is so strict, not only there are so many warships, but also the coastal defense forts are also densely covered. Under such circumstances, how could it be possible to be attacked by the enemy?

"Boom! Boom!"

At this moment, two more loud noises came. I saw that the side of another battleship also burst into dazzling flames.

John? Jellicoe Admiral and David? Beatty Lieutenant General, suddenly stunned.

This was just the beginning, and then, there were two explosions again.

"Damn it, the submarine, it was the German submarine. We were attacked by the German submarine!" Lieutenant General David Betty said angrily.

"Warspite, Warrior and Conqueror were all hit!" Admiral John Jellicoe paled. He clearly remembered the berths of every capital ship in the Grand Fleet. These capital ships were attacked by torpedoes. Obviously, the situation would be very bad. Even if they were not sunk, they would be severely damaged. In this case, the strength of the Royal Navy will be further weakened in the next battle. It will be even more difficult for them to win future naval battles.

Violent explosions occurred one after another, and several capital ships were attacked, causing Scapa Flow to suddenly become a mess. The high-power searchlights have been turned on, and they are scanning back and forth on the sea, looking for targets. Destroyers are also being activated one after another, ready to catch the despicable raiders.

At this time, the German sailors on the U-037 submarine were loading torpedoes.

"No. 1 torpedo tube is loaded!"

"No. 2 is loaded!"

Lieutenant Colonel Dönitz was very anxious. There had been an explosion, though he didn't know if he had succeeded. However, what he had to do was to launch the remaining six torpedoes as quickly as possible, and then escape. Otherwise, they might not be able to escape.

"No. 6 torpedo tube is loaded!"

"Launch immediately!" Lieutenant Colonel Doenitz ordered immediately.

The submarine at this moment has completed its turn and aimed at a new target. It only needs to launch the torpedo. As for whether he could hit the target, Lieutenant Colonel Dönitz didn't care too much.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

6 torpedo tubes launched the torpedoes successively. Six torpedoes frantically fired towards their respective targets.

"Quick, dive right away, and run away. Guys, pray to God, we can escape alive and go back to Germany!" Lieutenant Colonel Dönitz said.

The U-037 submarine escaped, and at this moment Scapa Flow is in chaos.
