The diesel engine at the stern of the Karlsruhe is rumbled. Due to the advancement of Germany’s industry, it has advanced marine low-speed diesel engines. Therefore, many ships are equipped with this type of diesel engine, which has a smaller volume than steam engines. At the same time, Germany no longer has to worry about lack of diesel, so this diesel engine is widely used.
However, one of the disadvantages of diesel engines is that the power is not large. Therefore, to drive this supply ship, even the maximum speed can only reach 15 knots. Now, this supply ship is advancing at a maximum speed of 15 knots.
The bow split the waves, and the wind broke through the waves. After entering the Pacific from the Atlantic Ocean, the waves had been reduced. The sea breeze was blowing on the mast, and the waves lightly beat the hull.
Captain Terry only slept for a few hours. When the eastern sky was gradually shining, he stood on the bridge again and looked at the blue sea in the distance with a surge of emotion.
At the same time, on the entire ship, he was the only one who knew the goal of his voyage. Thinking of this action, he was extremely proud, and at the same time admired the wisdom of the great head of state. This kind of strategy is a roundabout, I am afraid that only the head of Cyric Can think of it.
Americans, just wait to obediently surrender!
A supply ship of tens of thousands of tons is driving on the vast sea, far away, you can't see it at all.
In this case, the horse mackerel submarine at the rear was still tracking bravely.
Only a top of the submarine of more than two thousand tons is exposed on the sea surface. The waves often hit the upper end of the bow. If you are not paying attention, you can't see them at all.
Bill has no other choice, he has to keep up, and he must not be discovered until he finds the secret behind it!
In this way, after sailing for more than a long time, the watchmen on the control tower changed batch after batch. When the sun slid to the west, suddenly, a forest of masts appeared on the distant sea. .
That is a huge fleet, too large to imagine!
"Attention, the ballast tank is filled with water, ready to enter the underwater state." Bill shouted.
Once underwater, the diesel engine has to be turned off, and it is all powered by the battery. If sailing at full speed, it will run out of electricity in an hour. However, Don’t have any choice. The supply ship did not notice him, but a The huge fleet will definitely have many lookout posts. It is already very dangerous for him to get closer. He must go underwater.
He suppressed the excitement in his heart. He knew that the truth was about to appear before his eyes. His submarine slowly entered the water, just like a smart whale.
"Rising periscope!"
Although the Americans did not think of arranging an underwater snorkel, the periscope has long been a must-have of this era. His eyes were close to the periscope and he carefully adjusted the focus. Soon, the fleet in the distance came into view.
Directly to the deck, the hull is not particularly large, and the smoke in the chimney is relatively light. This should be the German Delhi-class **** aircraft carrier using marine diesel engines!
At this time, on the deck of the aircraft carrier, one after another, full of fighters, at this time, these **** aircraft carriers are acting as water transport ships, transporting these fighters!
Turning my camera again, on the other side, there are large ro-ro ships made by Germans. In the fat belly of the lower layer, you can't see much, but on the top layer, you can see that one All the exposed equipment are all tanks!
You can't see it at a glance, and there are countless ships that line up densely on the sea. This must be Germany's use of almost the entire European transportation capacity to carry out a terrible strategic shift!
"Keep watching!" Captain Bill said. After the initial excitement passed, all he was left with was worry. Such a large fleet must be aimed at the United States. What do the Germans want to do?
It must be bad for America! He must now find out the size and whereabouts of this fleet as soon as possible, and then send a telegram to the local area to tell them this amazing discovery!
Captain Bill felt anxious inexplicably when he thought of this.
This is related to the future of America.
The 1st Expeditionary Task Force of the German Navy.
This is a huge fleet, with a total of more than 300 warships and 400 merchant ships. This time, they have to transport all ten main divisions, and there are more than 500 fighters. And all their ground handling equipment.
This is a huge army mobilization and the first time in history!
At the forefront of the task force, there are forwards composed of five attack aircraft carriers and two super battleships. The carrier-based aircraft they take off can even patrol five hundred nautical miles away, looking for the most peaceful sea area and the most suitable route. .
When Germany attacked Greenland, it only used six attack aircraft carriers. For this reason~www.novelhall.com~ They separated a part of their troops and carried out cross-sea mobilization, which is equivalent to the German navy using half of its troops to fight. U.S. Army Air Force and Naval Air Force operations.
The fleet at that time, mighty and mighty, formed a terrible formation on the sea, which has scared the Americans.
And if the current formation allows the Americans to see it, it will make them disperse even more. The entire fleet stretches back and forth ten nautical miles in length, and the width has reached two nautical miles. This huge fleet is definitely this. The times are the strongest and most terrifying.
The aircraft carriers, battleships, and cruisers in the front form a sharp cone-shaped forward. The center and rear are bloated **** aircraft carriers and merchant ships. At the same time, on both sides of the fleet, there are destroyer formations responsible for escorting.
Commodore Paul Frederick Bundy, commander of the German destroyer force, was sitting on his destroyer "William Heidekamp", sailing behind the formation.
This is a 36-year-old warship. Although it is only 5 years old, it is already an old ship. Its main weapon is three single-mounted 127mm naval guns, with a full displacement of more than 3,000 tons. The boiler is used as a power source. At the same time, there are torpedo tubes on both sides, and a depth-water bomb release device at the tail.
Up to now, destroyers have rarely participated in sea battles. They are almost mainly anti-submarine. At the upper end of the bridge, a new device has been added to search for the sea.
At this time, the radar is scanning the sea surface at a speed of half a minute. If there is a submarine's periscope on the sea surface, it can also find it clearly. The wind and waves in the Pacific are not big, and it is easy to distinguish the target from the wind and waves. come out.
Inside the bridge, the radar soldier was watching the screen closely, and suddenly, a bright spot appeared on it.
"Report and find suspicious clutter."
