Chapter 46
.The Third Reich under Ten Thousand Characters Volume 4: The Sadness of France
Azbrook.
Late at night, under the illumination of searchlights, the airport runway was full of various types of fighter jets. At the forefront was a squadron's Donier interceptor. Then dozens of modified torpedo planes were pushed out of the hangar. The staff were busy filling the plane with fuel and driving ammunition supply trucks. Two people in groups replenish ammunition for machine guns on both sides of the wings. The boxes on the ammunition supply truck were moved down, and the lid was pried open, and a strange-shaped torpedo was clamped up and hung on the abdomen.
This busy scene can be seen everywhere in the hangars and runways in the entire airport.
At the airport console, Brooke clenched his fists with excitement. He believed that all efforts would be rewarded. What we should pay attention to is whether the reward was too rich. The rich heart and blood vessels might not be able to withstand the explosion. He slowly turned around and looked at Xu Yang: "Granditz's submarine force has entered the position."
Xu Yang's face was as calm as water, but his heart was overturned. He had just issued a wrong order because he did not know the main performance of the submarine and sent an unreasonable order. He decided not to interfere with the navy's operations too much and became a spectator outside the world: "Is General Erich Redell in the command position of the aircraft carrier Seedlits?"
Brooke replied respectfully: "Yes, Your Excellency, General Erich Redell, authorized Karl Denitz to command the fleet. The main purpose of this battle is to coordinate the combat forces. It is scheduled to withdraw from the war zone before the British local fleet can react."
Xu Yang nodded and no longer expressed his opinion. As an army commander, he really didn't understand naval warfare, and even didn't know the role of each type of ship in naval warfare. He only knew what the name of a certain warship was, and what were its impressive achievements in that naval warfare. He really didn't know how to fight.
"The diving depth of the Type 2 U submarine is really only Xu Yang looked confused. He knew that he had asked the wrong person: Ahem... Brooke, you are in charge here. I'll go and read some information."
Xu Yang turned around and walked towards the exit, and he felt his face getting hot...
"Seawomen. Let's go
Compared with its loud slogan, Otto ordered the U-23 to cruise outside the war zone, and the commanders of other submarines also issued similar orders, and what they needed was the opportunity to join the war.
What Otto saw from the periscope was the continuous dive strafing maneuvers of his air force. The communication system restricted the submarine forces could not contact the air force. All the sea wolves could do now was to swim outside, watching the sparks caused by bullets and steel colliding, the style of the water. The torpedo hit the grand fireworks suddenly appearing from the British escort warship. The submarines tried to approach the war zone, and they approached the target carefully during deep diving. The huge ships crossed the sea, and they kept trying to form an effective air defense formation. The British Navy was already familiar with the combat mode of the German Air Force. The commander of this transport team had reason to believe that as long as the air defense formation was formed, the German warfare opportunities that hovered in the sky were taken one by one like flies.
The Third German Empire seemed to want to flood the British transport fleet with endless fighter jets. One wave after another, the British transport fleet without the support of the aviation force was in a worrying situation. Their flagship Exeter heavy cruiser was frequently taken care of by the German Air Force, and its hull was shot and caught fire in many places. However, it still maintained its high fighting spirit in fighting. The four light cruisers originally relied on their high-speed maneuverability to cruise on the periphery of the transport fleet and performed their duties to intercept German fighter jets. Unfortunately, because Britain abides by the treaty, their combat effectiveness of light cruisers and heavy cruisers is generally inferior to that of various countries.
Otto is a senior submarine commander. He knows very well what to do to win. The communication of the floating U submarine troops is restored, and they maintain the combat style of the wolf pack and distance it. It forms a three-dimensional encirclement on the sea surface.
Due to the existence of British destroyers, the waves have been unable to effectively enter the battlefield. British destroyers have obviously found German submarines cruising deep under the sea, but there are uncertain numbers. British destroyers braved the German Air Force's attack operations, and deep water bombs made a muffled sound and were thrown into the sea.
A blast...
It was not that the U submarine was hit, but that the British destroyer that was deploying deep-water bombs was attacked by the German Air Force. The bombs dropped on both sides were directly dropped into the area where the deep-water bombs were being dropped. More than a dozen British naval soldiers who were deploying deep-water bombs were instantly gone. The serial explosion of the instruments caused the stern of the entire destroyer to fall into the sea of fire...
"Oh God..." Eger, standing in the command room of the Exeter heavy cruiser, watched the stern of the class-destroying ship sink down in a series of explosions. The bow of the ship slowly raised, and a ball of fire came out of the center of the ship. The chimney at the tail fell backwards and directly hit the torpedo storage room. Another huge explosion sounded, and thick black smoke came out of the entire ship. At the next moment, the other two chimneys flew out and smashed on the nearby water-class destroyer's hull quickly sinking, and some naval soldiers called to escape.
The other three R-class destroyers seemed to be stimulated. The single-tube 2-pound ping-pong cannon mounts on their ships desperately sucked the flames. The 0.303 Lewis machine gun was even more crazy, and a string of bullets shot into the sky without hitting anything.
Otto knew that it was the Seawolf's turn to come. The defensive formation of the R-class destruction of the British Transportation Team's outermost periphery had been knocked out due to the sinking of the F4 R-class destroyer. The chaos in the large R-class destroyer needs to be adjusted in time. This is the time when the British Navy's defense gap is the largest!
"Seawolf, let's get on!" Otto immediately ordered the U-23 to turn the rudder, and he found the route to cut into the British transport team, which was a tiny gap made by the three British R-class destroyers due to the adjustment of the formation.
In the torpedo compartment, these German naval soldiers could not know the situation outside. They only knew that the submarine was sneaking quickly. Ding - what fell on it? No one looked down. They were staring at the lighted indicator light. The No. 2 and No. 3 torpedo launch tubes were ready.
