Chapter 488: Underwater wolf pack

Historically, Germany was due to the failure of the surface forces. Hitler was quite disappointed in Riddle, so he pinned all hopes on the submarine forces and tried to make Britain surrender by blocking the British maritime transport lines.

Now, the situation is different. The German surface fleet continues to show their strength, first weakening Britain to the same level as its own, and then completely destroying the morale of the British navy in today's naval battle.

At the same time, Germany has not given up on the development of the submarine force.

Now, there is no need to compete for resources. The Spanish gold intercepted last time is enough for Germany to consume in recent years. Therefore, Germany is catching up with and surpassing in all aspects, and it is constantly building submarines.

Now, Germany’s VIIB submarine has developed into a VIIC submarine. The number of two submarines built has exceeded 80. This type of submarine is specifically designed for the Atlantic Ocean. The number of subsequent constructions will exceed 200. .

Now, there are more than a dozen ships patrolling nearby, and they are all rushing here.

Whoever rushes to the battlefield will have meat!

In terms of body size, wolves are not very big, not as big as tigers and leopards.

However, "the tiger is afraid of wolves." Tigers are animals that forage alone, while wolves live in groups. The bloodthirsty wolves made all the behemoths in nature shudder. Under their turn of siege, even the king of beasts could hardly be spared.

Genghis Khan at the time was the principle of leading soldiers to fight from the wolves.

The wolf pack tactic of submarines is to use multiple submarines to form a small team, like wolves, to launch underwater attacks on enemy warships and transport ships in turn.

A single submarine cannot effectively attack the opponent's sea targets, but it can concentrate the power of several submarines to attack a sea target, and use the attack power of several submarines to destroy heavy ships.

In the early days of World War II, the German Navy used "wolf pack tactics" to organize groups of submarines to attack allied ships and destroy allied maritime transportation lines, causing the Allied forces to suffer heavy losses.

Later, the failure of the wolf pack tactics also proved a truth. It was unwise to pin the navy completely on the submarine. The struggle for sea power would ultimately be realized by surface ships.

Submarine is an important part of naval weapons, but it is not the ultimate pillar.

On the U-90 submarine, the captain, Captain Kleishmeer, stared coldly at his periscope. In later lives, he was also a member of the ace captain, and now, he is very lucky.

His submarine followed Prien’s U-47, and was the second to arrive on the battlefield. After carefully observing the situation on the battlefield, he mobilized his horsepower to seize the position. Finally, the huge battleship Barham, Came within his attack range.

"Boat bow, four torpedoes, launch one second apart!" He issued an attack order to his sailor.

Unlike Prien, due to limited experience and for insurance, he did not carry the powerful T11 hydrogen peroxide torpedo, but only ordinary electric torpedoes.

Even so, he has to aim at the opponent's battleship, not twice at one time, or twice but not three times, even if all his 14 torpedoes are shot out, he must attack the opponent's battleship!

The four torpedoes came out of the water one after another and headed towards the opposite Barham at a speed of 30 knots.

At this time, the Barham had been hit by the Bismarck, and thick smoke was coming out of the upper part of the warship. A group of sailors were rescuing and carrying out damage control.

"Boom!" When the explosion sounded at the bottom of it, no one noticed. They thought it was hit by a naval gun again. Under the continuous shooting, everyone's ears were buzzed. Losing the basic ability to judge the position, he did not judge that it was an explosion at the bottom of the ship.

"Boom, boom!" Then there were two explosions, one second apart.

Four torpedoes, three shots, in battle, this is a pretty remarkable achievement!

After three explosions, the bottom of the Barham was blasted with three large openings. The sea water quickly poured into the bottom. There were too many watertight tanks lost. It did not have time to carry out more rescues, so it began to quickly Sink into the sea!

The battleships built during the First World War paid a lot of attention to the protection of the water surface, but the torpedo protection was the worst, because the torpedoes in the First World War era had a very low hit rate and almost no consideration.

But now, whoever neglects underwater protection will pay a heavy price! In World War II, the old British ships built during World War I almost always went into the shipyard to thicken their underwater parts to prevent torpedo attacks.

But now the British Navy has no chance to do this. Their existing warships are not enough. Where can they go to the shipyard for modification?

The Barham entered the water very quickly. In just a few minutes, the entire hull sank into the sea, followed by the superstructure. In ten minutes, only a huge one was left on the water. swirl.

The Nelson, which was not much better than the Barham, suffered five torpedoes, and the tilt of its hull had exceeded twenty degrees. It had completely lost its combat effectiveness. Now it has been completely hopeless.

The battleship, only one Sovereign remains. This warship and the Royal Oak belong to the Revenge class. It is the follow-up to the Queen Elizabeth class~www.novelhall.com~ and is also an old ship of World War I, although it has a displacement of more than 30,000 tons. , But the actual combat effectiveness is limited.

Now, the main warship, there is only this one left, and the captain, Colonel Fisher, is extremely angry.

He knew that today’s World War meant the complete decline of the British navy. If there were no American blood transfusions, the British navy would have become an inshore navy, and would no longer be able to challenge Germany’s maritime hegemony.

As an officer of the British Navy, he felt very sad and indignant. It was because of his sadness and indignation that he made the decision to continue fighting.

Now, the battle is completely detrimental to the British fleet, and retreat is important. But even if he, a battleship, protects several cruisers and destroyers retreat, what is the use?

Maybe, in the retreat, they will still be killed. Rather than run away, it is better to fight upright!

"Target, Bismarck, fire!" He continued to give the battle order. Now, the Bismarck has been wounded and is still smoking. If he can sink the Bismarck before being sunk, that would be worth it!

The pride of the Royal Navy, let him summon the courage to fight in an upright area, endlessly!

In the sky above, Stuka's scream came again.

The mixed-race female anchor forgot to turn off the camera after the live broadcast. The life video was exposed! Watch online:!!
