If you want to ask this year, which is the most shocking blockbuster? That's it!
With an investment of 50 million, more than 50,000 people scored 8.2
More than 80 of the entire film are in naval battles!
How cool is this movie
Let's watch Greyhound
February 1942, early days of World War II
The European allies are in a tight war and are in dire need of material support
37 troop carriers and supply ships departed from the United States for Liverpool, England!
To ensure the safe passage of the fleet through the dangerous North Atlantic
The Allies sent a fleet of 4 destroyers and aircraft to escort them
But the waters in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean are beyond the limits of air cover
It is the most vulnerable place to be attacked by DE Army U-boats
Known as the "Dark Trench"
And to cut off the Allied supply lines in the Atlantic
The DE Corps employs wolf pack tactics based on U-boats
Multiple submarines chased and intercepted the group attack
They are haunted, and most of them sneak up on them at night
Every attack will cost the Allied fleet dearly!
The Army's aircraft reached the cover range and had returned
Fleets need to cross the dark sea on their own
Meet the Allied air cover on the other side!
And this time the fleet escort, by the American destroyer Greyhound
The British destroyers Hawk Harry and Dickie were formed
Led by the Greyhound
Captain Klaus, who crossed the Atlantic for the first time, served as commander-in-chief!
Sail into the Dark Trench for the third day
There were still 50 hours left for Allied air cover
All the crew members were nervous and careful
It was not long before the fleet intercepted a DE corps communication
Azimuth 087 degrees, distance 15 to 20 nautical miles!
The DE U boat is coming!
Klaus immediately ordered the right full rudder to sail at full speed and go in pursuit!
At the same time, the Dickey was ordered to the right side of the fleet
Sonar probes the starboard side and covers the fleet!
The Greyhound is fully on guard, with weapons in place, ready to meet the enemy!
At the center of the battle, the deputy captain sent a message, and the surface of the water was scanned to the enemy position
Target Azimuth 094 15 nautical miles away!
It is suspected that the DE military U boat came out of the water to breathe
Get ready to attack the fleet!
Submarines take advantage of diving into the water to take advantage of their own low noise characteristics
Under the cover of interference in the ocean background, quietly strike the target
The main weapon is the fish, but the U boat is at an underwater speed mantle
Fish have limited range and must be close to the target at a certain distance
Get out of the water and strike!
The Greyhound's advantages are speed and kinesibility
And the lethality of naval guns and deep water oyster shells!
However, due to the imperfection of the technology of Sheida at that time
The DE U boat is also very cunning, sneaking away immediately
Destroyers often can't make a strong move, and have not yet sunk a DE U-boat!
The Greyhound sailed at full speed straight for the U-boat position
But at a distance of 6 nautical miles, the DE U boat dived and disappeared from the radar!
The last information on the radar showed that the U-boat was heading towards the fleet!
Klaus made a decision on the spot, assuming that the enemy's course remained unchanged
Speed 6 knots, set the interception course!
The deputy captain's drawing survey locks the enemy's heading at 096!
The Greyhound changes its course to 096 and activates sonar detection!
The sonar found the target in 091, 1 nautical mile away
But before he could listen carefully, the target disappeared again
Klaus immediately ordered the detection of the 30-degree area of the bow to the port!
A moment later, 066 Azimuth found that the target was 1000 meters away!
Greyhound one sits full rudder lock 066!
The DE U boat suddenly changed its direction to the left, trying to bypass the Greyhound and sneak up on the fleet!
The sonar detects the target azimuth of 006 and is driving to the left!
But at this moment, Klaus ordered the right-hand drive to turn
The crew cast surprised glances
The helmsman hesitated for a moment to obey the order and turned to the right!
But after turning right, the target disappears from the sonar and the sound of the propeller cannot be heard underwater!
The crew looked at Klaus, full of doubts about his decision!
Just when Klaus also thought he had miscalculated
The sonar suddenly re-detected the target, bearing 730 at a distance of 730 on starboard 024
Klaus did not guess wrong, the other party's sudden change of direction before was in the sound of the east and west!
The distance between the Greyhound and the U boat was rapidly narrowed, 450 meters 350 meters and 275 meters
At this moment, the sonars detected a sharp acceleration of the propeller of the U-boat
Want to pass under them!
At Klaus's order, the depth charge was dropped immediately!
There were a large number of oil stains and submarine wreckage on the surface of the sea
The Greyhound won the first battle and sank the DE U boat for the first time
50 DE soldiers were buried in the sea
The morale of all the crew members of the escort fleet was greatly boosted and rejoiced!
Klaus's command of the line was perfect, winning the trust of all the crew!
As the commander-in-chief of the escort fleet, Klaus was under a lot of pressure
I haven't had a good meal since I boarded the ship
After sinking a U-boat, the tense nerves were slightly relieved
The Greyhound adjusts its course and prepares to return to the front of the fleet!
But unexpectedly, at this moment, two distress signal flares were fired from the rear of the fleet!
At the end, a merchant ship was attacked by a DE U boat, and it was about to sink!
The Greyhound immediately changed course and headed to the rear of the fleet to meet the enemy
The sonar resumes detection and the full crew enters the combat position
The rescue ship Cadena heads to the rescue!
The DE U-boats that attacked the merchant ships used the periscope to discover the location of the Greyhound
A torpedo was fired and headed straight for the Greyhound!
Sentinel Greyhound spotted a torpedo 450 metres away
Klaus immediately ordered the right full rudder
The Greyhound had a drift that dodged this torpedo without any danger!
Based on the trajectory of the fish snow, the Greyhound found the location of the DE U boat
But the DE Army could not immediately dive down without a blow
Noise disturbances caused by the sinking of merchant ships
Sonar couldn't lock on to the U boat's movements and was escaped by it!
After the rescue ship rescued 42 crew members
Under the cover of the Greyhound, go full speed to catch up with the fleet!
But the DE U boat did not give up
The destroyer sent bad news
The destroyer Mosk sent bad news
Yeda noticed that 5 DE U-boats appeared directly in front of the fleet
Behind the Greyhound, the DE U-boat Gray Wolf emerged from the water
Submarines are too slow underwater
Get out of the water to keep up with the Greyhound and the Rescue Ship!
Klaus will face 6 DE U-boats
This is the Wolf Pack tactic that the DE Army is best at
Once it gets dark, it's time for them to hunt!
Behind him, the DE U boat emerged from the water and was spotted by radar
But at a critical moment, the Greyhound radar caused equipment failure due to weather reasons
The exact distance could not be determined
The sentry found the U-boat on the surface of the sea, and the guns of the ship opened fire freely to strike
But after 11 consecutive shots, all missed, and the DE U boat dived to escape!
Klaus immediately decided not to dwell on it anymore
The Greyhound returns at full speed and heads to the front of the fleet to face off against the other 5 U-boats!
There will be a fierce battle tonight!
The sea breeze was fierce, and in the blink of an eye, it was dark and there were still 36 hours left before the air cover
Cover with 36 more days
Klaus ordered the fleet to maintain formation
Escort ship sonar detection, beware of caution!
He hadn't eaten in a day and had just taken a sip of coffee
Just see the right rear fleet firing a distress signal bomb, and the DE Army hunting operation begins!
The Greyhound immediately crossed the fleet to meet the enemy!
At a distance of 1.5 nautical miles from Azimuth 036, the U-boat was found to have surfaced
The ship's guns immediately opened fire on the target
But just at this moment, a merchant ship approached and blocked the ballistic track
The Greyhound immediately ceased fire and made an emergency left turn to avoid the merchant ship!
The merchant ship and the Greyhound passed by and almost collided
The crew was frightened into a cold sweat, and they did not wait for them to relax
Another U-boat suddenly floated to the surface of the water, firing torpedoes, and blew up a merchant ship in an instant!
The U-boat appeared in the middle of the destroyers Greyhound and Eagle
The guns of the Ship of Warburg attack the target
However, due to dark, the Greyhound was not found also on the ballistic track
Suddenly, the Greyhound was injured by mistake, and one of the crew members was seriously injured and lost half of his face!
The Eagle spotted that it had mistakenly wounded friendly forces and immediately ceased fire
DE U boats took the opportunity to dive
And secretly release a "pill thrower" in the water as bait!
The sonar echo from this decoy successfully fooled the sonar
The Greyhound's two consecutive sets of deep water oyster shells all exploded on the bait
And the sneak attack of the DE army U boat escaped with the sound of explosions!
Some of the merchant ships that were destroyed by the bombing jumped into the sea and survived
At this time Klaus received information that the DE U boats had been found in the rear of the fleet
Whether to save the survivors who fell into the water first, or to give up the rescue and rush to support
Klaus was faced with a difficult choice and looked at the crew's eyes
Klaus finally ordered the slow sailing to save the people first!
Ten minutes later, the four survivors were saved
But just then, I heard an explosion
The American supply ship at the rear of the fleet, hit by a U-boat!
The DE U-boat sneaked in
Not forgetting the glory of the might, the Gray Wolf U boat invaded the communication channel of the escort fleet
Throwing a provocation at them, the big bad wolf was hungry, and the hunt had just begun
Let Klaus and the others watch all the merchant ships die in the sea!
The DE Corps embolics were intended to demoralize the escort fleet
Klaus didn't say much, ordered a change in the communication channel, and prepared for battle!
The 6 U-boats of the DE Army launched a wolf pack tactic and attacked the fleet in four directions!
Klaus orders the Eagle Harry Dickey to attack freely!
A fierce battle begins
Merchant ships after merchant ship were attacked
Fire a distress flare that illuminates the night sky of the North Atlantic!
The next morning, there were still 26 hours left for air cover
Last night's battle, 5 merchant ships were destroyed, 2 were damaged, and 210 people died!
The 6 U-boats of the DE Army retreated completely
The convoy was sluggish, and the frustration of suppressing weakness continued to spread!
The convoy consumed most of the depth charges in last night's battle
There are only 6 Greyhounds left!
Once the depth charges are used up, the fleet's escort capacity will be minimal!
The situation was critical, and Klaus thought twice
Decided to use direct routes, no longer roundabout
That way they could reach the Allied air cover area hours early!
This decision is extremely risky, and it is likely that more DE U boats will be encountered
But in the midst of wealth and danger, instead of sitting still, it is better to let go!
At this moment, the Grayhound found a U-boat periscope 1,000 meters to the right
The Dickie Sherrida locked its position and rushed to strike!
The two fish snow fired by the DE Army did not hit the Greyhound
The Dickey dropped 4 depth charges on the target area
A moment later, the DE U boat was damaged and could not dive, and was forced out of the water!
The Dickie gun attacked, and the Greyhound came to help!
The DE U boat passed by the Greyhound
Because the distance is too close, it enters the dead corner of the artillery shooting and cannot form a fatal blow!
The Dickie bites the U-boat and chases after it!
The U boat was damaged and could not be dived
The DE Corps was forced to go up to the command tower and fight the Dickie face-to-face, and the artillery attacked!
The Greyhound turned the bow of the ship and turned back in support
Fight on both sides with the Dickey!
The U-boat sailed side by side with the Dickie and entered a dead spot for artillery fire
Klaus ordered the Dickey to turn away from the Greyhound's firing trajectory!
But as soon as his voice dropped, the DE Corps suddenly fired a cannon right in the middle of the Greyhound!
Seeing that the Dickey had left the trajectory, Klaus ordered the fire!
The second U-boat was destroyed and the Dickey was slightly damaged
One of the Greyhound's forts was destroyed, no big deal!
But three crew members were killed on the spot
Because the Greyhound rescued many people who fell into the water, there was no room for morgues in the cabin
Klaus approves the funeral to be arranged immediately!
The corpse was wrapped in a national flag, saluted, and then sunk into the sea!
The corpse is wrapped in a national flag, saluted in a honking cabin, and then sunk into the sea!
Before the funeral was over, a distress signal flare was seen at the rear of the fleet
A merchant ship was sunk with no survivors
The Destroyer Eagle was sneaked in and the engine room was hit
Losing power, sea water kept pouring into the hull to tilt
In order to prevent the Eagle from sinking, the rescue ship dragged the Eagle forward!
And the DE military U boat hit the blow and fled again, without a trace!
In the blink of an eye, night fell
The main armor version of the Hawk that was dragged was sunk, and it was forced to abandon the ship!
The convoy was left with only the Greyhound Harry Dickie
There was little ammunition left for the three destroyers and deep-water oyster shells
The protection of the fleet was limited, and Klaus consulted with the deputy captain
Break the rules of radio silence and call for help from the British Navy!
In case the information is intercepted by the DE Army, only a short "help" word is sent!
In the middle of the night, the Greyhound received a reply from the British Navy
The information was scrambled by encryption, and the deputy captain deciphered it
The plane descends and the confluence site changes to X coordinates
We'll be there in four hours!
This night, the DE U boats did not attack again!
At this point, air cover is still 3 hours away
As the sky grew clearer, Klaus nervous and had not slept all night
Tired, I changed into slippers, and my feet were full of blood because I had been standing for a long time!
Before he could relax for a moment, the War Center suddenly reported that two U-boats appeared on the right
Klaus immediately ordered harry, Dickie, to remain in an escort position
The Greyhound turns around and sails to block!
Two U-boats fired torpedoes at the same time
Clipping the Greyhound, the Greyhound dodged the first torpedo with a full rudder
Immediately the right rudder is full, the starboard side is slowly receding, and the starboard side is moving at full speed
The collision angle is too small
The fish snow hit the needle and failed to cause the explosion and escaped the disaster
Klaus fired a real fire and ordered the U-boat to sail at full speed
Crash and sink that U boat too!
The DE Corps missed two shots and fired another torpedo in a hurry
Dodged by the Greyhound!
The Greyhound fired a series of guns, hitting the U-boat's command tower
The damage to the U boat suddenly surfaced
The Greyhound sat on the rudder to adjust its orientation and attack from the side
All the guns in the bow and stern of the ship fired at the same time!
The third U-boat had just been destroyed, and the fourth U-boat was attacking head-on
But just then, air support arrived
Klaus was overjoyed and ordered the artillery to fire at the U-boat
Mark the target for the plane!
The DE U boat found it bad and wanted to turn around and run away
But it's too late!
A fourth U-boat was sunk
The convoy managed to wait for air cover
Klaus let out a sigh of relief!
The British naval convoy then arrived
The escort mission of the Klaus fleet is finally over!
The escort, within 37 merchant ships
Seven merchant ships were destroyed and 2 were damaged
The destroyer Eagle sank
Compared with the past, the losses this time have been very small
The Greyhound Harry, Dickie, completed its escort mission
Break away from the fleet and rush to the naval base to rest!
Parting time
All the crew members of the fleet stood on the deck and waved loudly to the Greyhound
Thanks for guarding all the way!
In the early and middle of World War II, the DE U boat was used as the most mysterious weapon
Take advantage of tactics with terrifying wolf packs
Attacking transport ships recklessly in the North Atlantic
Throughout the war, 395 ships were sunk by U-boats
More than 5,000 transport ships were sunk, causing heavy losses to the Allies!
