Chapter 1109

"Hell! How could we be found out? " At this moment, the commander of the allied "Alpine dog" transport fleet repeatedly asked such a poor question. They masterminded all kinds of scams. Even many sailors on the transport ship didn't know that the destination of this operation plan was Iceland.

They used innumerable kinds of fraud, and even confused the Germans with some false information. But now it seems that all their efforts are in vain, and the German wolves are waiting for them on this route.

"Boom!" It was only when another explosion came from a distance that the Allied Commander, who was deeply in fear, was pulled out of his mind. In this short moment, he seemed to hear something different from the explosion.

But in such a short time, he was not able to find out where this different thing existed. On the other side, the British and American destroyers are speeding up their turn, and the whole fleet has begun to be in chaos and collapse. So he quickly turned to his assistant and gave a loud order: "keep the fleet on course! It's dark now. If things go wrong, it will be a disaster! "

"Sir, if we keep our course and speed in the face of the enemy's torpedoes, I think it will be a disaster." The assistant said to the general in panic.

"Asshole! Now are you commander, or am I commander? Command the fleet to keep course! If anyone dares to swerve, I'll sink it! " The fleet commander yelled, and then he suddenly realized what was wrong at that moment, so he turned over in surprise and looked at the direction of the ship explosion with strange eyes: "something's wrong! Something's wrong

It's as if I saw a French meal when I was hungry, as if someone gave me a soft pillow when I was sleepy, as if... In short, I felt that I was the Allied Commander of the most unlucky man in the world at the moment before, but I suddenly felt the favor of fate at this moment.

"The explosion didn't go on!" He suddenly cried out with excitement. Then his eyes finally recovered their soul and wandered back and forth in their eyes. At this moment he was very excited, because at this moment his fleet seemed to be saved again.

There are two kinds of tactics used by German submarines. One is the single boat swimming ambush tactics. To put it bluntly, it is a submarine walking on the sea and sinking whatever it encounters. The advantage of this tactic is that it is impossible to defend, and it is difficult for the allies to target anti submarine. Of course, this tactic is not impeccable, and its disadvantages are also obvious - a submarine that does this may not meet an enemy ship before it runs out of fuel and returns.

The relative tactics are the famous wolf pack tactics developed by general dennitz of the German Navy, which is opposite to the single boat cruising tactics. To put it bluntly, this tactic is to use as many means as possible to find the enemy's target in advance, and then concentrate all the German submarines nearby to encircle and kill the allied fleet at a certain position.

The first advantage of wolf tactics lies in its diversity and foresight. For submarines attacking targets, this is a pioneering work similar to technological revolution. As we all know, because of the limitation of its function, submarines in World War II can only sail at a speed lower than that of surface ships, which makes it a small probability event for submarines to find the target and get a good attack position when hunting.

As a result, a large number of submarines can only cruise in the sea aimlessly, with luck to find the target and attack - this kind of attack is obviously very inefficient and costly. In view of this situation, as a naval submarine expert, Donitz put forward an improvement plan.

This plan is to use the Navy, aviation, spy intelligence agencies, and even the fishing boats and merchant ships of our own country to attack ships... All these forces to provide the submarine with information on the activities of enemy ships. With investigation and intelligence, submarines can be allowed to ambush in the predetermined sea area in advance.

Wolf tactics make up for the lack of detection conditions in the early stage of submarine warfare, concentrate the superior forces to encircle and suppress the Allied transport fleet, so it will sink more ships and cause greater losses to the Allied forces.

In order to give them time to escape, cause the greatest confusion and achieve the greatest results, the wolf group tactics generally launch as many torpedoes as possible at a certain time, and then escape with one hit. These underwater assassins often launch all the torpedoes that can be launched in the first time to achieve the greatest results.

But just now, just when the commander of the "Alpine dog" carrier fleet began to despair, the sound of the explosion gradually went away. And it stopped abruptly after a few rings.

Oh, my God! You are still on our side! After thinking about this in his heart, the commander immediately began to issue a combat order: "let the destroyer keep his post! Don't be impulsive! The enemy may have only one submarine! Don't scare yourself

His words calmed the flustered bridge building, and everyone looked at his commander in disbelief. Then some sailors who had experienced the tactical interception of German submarine wolves immediately realized something: "Hey! The explosion stopped! The enemy's attack did not last

As if to confirm their conjecture, the whole fleet calmed down, as if it had not been attacked at all. If it wasn't for a huge ship sinking slowly in the distance, if it wasn't for the fire spreading farther away, if it wasn't for the explosion of a ship just now, they all had to wonder if they were too nervous to have the illusion of a German submarine sneak attack“ It's a submarine attack! Not German wolves A sailor who survived a German wolf attack leaned back on his chair, breathed a sigh and said happily, "great! It seems that we haven't had any bad luck this time. " A word spoke everyone's heart, and a distant explosion in everyone's ears has become less terrible. If there is only one German submarine, even if it is a new type of submarine, it only has the chance to launch 16 torpedoes at most. Even if it hits all of them, it seems that they can afford to lose! However, in the vast sea, how can 16 torpedoes hit 16 ships? This is a fabulous thing. So at most, less than 10 ships will be hit. In the North Atlantic, the most dangerous route in the world, the loss is completely within Coco's range. It seems to confirm everyone's conjecture that the explosion has not been heard again for a long time. An adjutant has come over with the telegram of loss statistics to report how much damage has been caused by the attack: "the transport ship bottle cap is seriously injured and has fallen behind... The great white bear sank... The 1447 sank... The goddess of beauty sank..." "gentlemen! We don't know if there will be more German submarines at night! So we have to speed up It's as if the fleet commander has risen from hell to heaven. He has finished sinking half of the ships, and now he is told that he has only lost four transport ships - which is good news. However, when he was secretly happy, a transport ship behind the fleet suddenly exploded again, and the huge flame suddenly soared dozens of stories high. It was obviously a transport ship full of arms. Look at the position. It's near the center of the fleet. Unfortunately, this position is not a lucky place for it. Everyone was silent, staring at the rising water column and the fire in the distance. It took a long time to recover. Experienced people all know that the German submarine salvaged torpedoes just now, and it will never be less than six... In this case, hitting five ships can only be regarded as a very regular result“ It looks like we've lost another ship. " The commander didn't speak just now, but most of them still have some worries. He worried that more and more German submarines would join in the strangulation, but as time went by, it was obvious that his worry had not come true. There is really only one German submarine, and this one can only attack once. It's all an encounter at sea. Their fleet encountered a passing German submarine, so the German submarine launched an attack based on the principle of flying wild goose. That's the script. There's nothing strange about it. At dawn the next day, over the top of the allied fleet, there were patrolling B-17 bombers and other allied planes. A cruising British destroyer fleet also converged, it seems that the threat of German submarines has been completely removed. The sudden appearance of the German submarine became the only incident in this transportation, and all the people on board were celebrating their luck In the building of the British Intelligence Agency's temporary residence in Canada, an officer put down his phone and shook his head at his adjutant: "this kind of thing happens every day in the Atlantic Ocean, where German submarines are almost everywhere. If you just worry about changing such an important password, it is absolutely a waste and loss. "“ However, the "Alpine dog" transport fleet did encounter the attack of German submarines. We can't ignore the possibility. The Germans may not have time to mobilize more submarines, which is also a possibility, isn't it? " The adjutant frowned and pleaded. The British intelligence officer shook his head and said to his aide meaningfully, "this code is due to be changed in two months. We don't need to scare ourselves so much. You are just too sensitive. If you don't encounter a German submarine, you will still say to me, "the Germans may be trying to cover up." let's change the code... "--- ask for a monthly pass! Longling needs a monthly ticket...
