Chapter 1342： Flash bomb

Germany is not only manufacturing large warships of tens of thousands of tons, but also ordinary destroyers, and now the main destroyers of Germany are still transitioning from the Z plan.

Historically, this plan began in 1934, and now, since Hitler came to power, the German Navy has begun a new-type destroyer shipbuilding plan. In 36 years, 16 of the first batch of 16 new-type destroyers entered service. , And at the same time their improved version also started.

Up to now, the German Navy has 48 Z-type destroyers in service. The number is quite large, and they are the main support ships of the fleet.

This destroyer has a displacement of more than 3,000 tons, has a balanced air defense and anti-submarine capabilities, and is used to **** the fleet.

At the same time, in terms of frigates, the German Navy did not have too many plans. After the war with the United Kingdom was over, the river-class frigates of the British Navy were brought over.

In history, this frigate was one of the main **** ships of the Allies during World War II. Although its armament was relatively simple, its cost was low, its practicability was strong, and its mechanical power was outstanding. It could perform long-range **** missions. It became an allied nation in the later period of the Battle of the Atlantic. One of the main **** ships, but also a true frigate.

The main role of this kind of frigate in history is to **** the British fleet and fight German submarines in the Atlantic Ocean. In history, they sank about 30 German submarines and lost eight of them.

After the British surrendered, although Edward VIII, who was effectively loyal to Germany, continued to rule the United Kingdom, after all, this was once an empire that never sets in the sun. Cyric was very vigilant against them. Germany can tolerate the presence of a navy in Vichy, France, but absolutely not. Watching Britain regain strength, the main equipment of the British navy was taken over by Germany.

It was as if at the end of World War I, all the German navy ships were taken away by Britain.

This time with the formation, there is this kind of river-class frigate. Of course, almost all the crew members are German sailors.

On the Z18 destroyer, Hans-Lüdmann, Captain Linde was standing on his bridge, looking at the sea in the distance. It was dark everywhere, and nothing could be seen.

"Our radar can search for weak echoes on the sea, about three nautical miles in front of us, and our sonar can also hear the sound of the other's submarine engine." Aside from him, the adjutant reported to him.

At this time, the four warships entered the anti-submarine formation. The speed was very slow, only about five knots. It is also very dangerous to fight against the opponent's submarine in the dark. If you are not careful, you may be advanced by the opponent's submarine. attack.

The German Navy is confident, and their advantage lies in their own technology.

The latest radar can detect the echo from the periscope, and the sonar on the bow can also hear underwater sounds. Now the target is there, waiting for one's own side to pass.

It's just that the current technology is still very primitive after all. If in the Cold War period, the sonar can accurately determine the position, and now you can hit the torpedo.

Their anti-submarine weapons are almost mainly based on anti-submarine deep bombs. Now their four surface ships are lined up in a line, and they want to pull the net to cast deep bombs.

It's just that there are still new methods before spreading!

"Attention, flash bombs, one minute apart, fire me!"

Hearing his order, a 40mm Bofors anti-aircraft gun at the stern of the ship was stuffed with five rounds of shells. Then, the muzzle was almost facing the sky above, and then it opened fire.

"boom!"

The cannonball flew out of the muzzle, carrying a fiery flame, into the sky, and after flying upward for several hundred meters, the warhead suddenly exploded.

The bright light instantly illuminated the entire sea surface.

If it is the light emitted by a 40mm flares, the brightness can reach 400,000 to 500,000 candles, and the duration is 25 to 35 seconds, which can illuminate targets within a radius of 1 kilometer.

However, the current flash bomb has a similar structure to the flares, but it is in a rapid-burning mode. That is to say, at just one point, all the illuminating agents are instantly burned, and the entire night sky becomes as bright as day.

The four battleships were completely illuminated, but no one could see clearly.

"My eyes!" On the M-98 submarine, the captain Bristof suddenly yelled and covered his eyes in pain.

In the dark, the pupils of a person’s eyes will dilate, allowing more light to come in, so as to see everything clearly in the dark, but now, suddenly there is a strong light, and a lot of photons shine into Bristol. Husband’s eyes instantly made him feel that there were white flowers in front of him, and he couldn't see anything!

Too bad, these Germans!

When he noticed that the opponent's large forces were turning, Bristof felt something was wrong. Could the opponent be able to spot himself at a long distance? What's the point of your own sneak attack?

The opponent turned away at a high speed. Even if Bristol's submarine drove the diesel engine on the sea, it couldn't catch up, so he could only give up chasing and watched the opponent's fleet appear several destroyers to meet him. .

At this time, he relaxed instead. Since the opponent has several warships, he will take advantage of the darkness to kill him!

Even if you expose yourself and create opportunities for your brother's submarine, you must sink the German warship.

Who could have imagined that just as the two sides were getting closer, just as Bristol was planning to maneuver to occupy the seat, a bright light suddenly appeared like this.

Everywhere on the surface of the sea is white, and his eyes are also white. At this moment, he thought he was going to be blind After more than 30 seconds, he finally slowed down. With concerned gazes, he stood up again and said to the people around him: "Go back to our post, we are about to start attacking."

He carefully placed his eyes on the periscope and continued to observe the other party. In the night, the silhouette of the other party gradually increased, and the distance between the two parties was still getting closer.

It seems that the other party knows that he is in this sea area, but he doesn't know the specific location. He only has one chance. Now it's time to maneuver to occupy the seat!

While he was observing and thinking about his next move, suddenly there was a bright light on the sea!

Damn it again!

It was just a white light, but now it is a red light. When this red light appeared, Bristof fell back again and covered his eyes in pain. His head was so painful that he didn't know where it knocked. A stream of liquid came out of it.

He has realized what the Germans are playing with themselves!
