Chapter 645： Submarine attack (1/2)

In naval operations, the requirements of various operations are different.

For example, if a battleship wants to fight, it is best to turn to the side, so that all of its main guns, whether it is the bow or the stern, can be twisted and bombarded against each other. If the other is facing, only the front can be used.

It is also for this reason that France wonderfully put all the main guns of its Dunkirk-class warships to the front.

The launch and recovery of carrier-based aircraft requires headwind and take off at full speed, so that the carrier-based aircraft can fly the fastest and most safely.

At the same time, if it is an anti-submarine operation, it needs to be low-speed, take a zigzag route, and search the sea repeatedly back and forth.

In this case, it is impossible for the fleet to take care of all the operations.

At this time, the main battleship is using naval guns to bombard, and the aircraft carrier is flying the carrier-based aircraft.

On the periphery of the fleet, although the destroyers want to conduct anti-submarine operations, they cannot keep up with the route of their own aircraft carrier. In this way, the formation is somewhat out of touch.

This disconnection creates opportunities for submarines.

It was not only Helmut's submarine that had been sneaking up a long time ago. The German Navy was in the Mediterranean, and there were a total of six submarines cruising.

This is of course due to Helmut's early discovery of the movements of the British warships and the earliest signals sent back. Otherwise, the submarines far away would not be able to keep up.

Even so, only four submarines came up, and the other two were a hundred nautical miles away. When they arrived, the battle here would definitely be over.

These four submarines have been occupying positions and waiting quietly. Helmut has already guessed the reason why Berlin would not allow himself to attack in the early morning.

The British fleet is fighting with the French fleet. This scene is as hot as it is, as spectacular as it is spectacular. In this case, it is good to watch the excitement on the sidelines.

They waited until they received the order from Berlin before they immediately turned into an offensive state, and Helmut's submarine was aimed at the Cyclops aircraft carrier.

Now, of course they have to do it first! Those aircraft carriers and battleships are their targets. As long as these small destroyers are eliminated, there is nothing to fear.

In this era, the communication of submarines is a difficult problem. Submarines can only send reports when they are on the surface. Helmut sent back messages to Berlin, which were sent at the risk of being on the surface.

Yes, it is an adventure. The sudden emergence of radio signals will alert the enemy and expose the whereabouts of the submarine. In the history of submarine operations, there is definitely more than one submarine killed because of the telegram exposed the target.

Fortunately, this time, the British did not notice.

At the same time, to receive the signal, it also needs to be at the depth of the periscope.

For submarines in the World War II era, most of the time, the radio is in the monitoring state, that is, the receiving state, anyway, it is not a nuclear submarine, and it will never sail underwater for a long time.

Now, they have been in the depth of the periscope, waiting quietly for a good show, until Berlin sent an order, they immediately launched an attack!

In the first launch, with only one hit, the opponent was already seriously damaged. Helmut did not worry about the safety of his submarine, and ordered to continue loading torpedoes and prepare for the next attack!
