Chapter 229:U-boat's First Battle in the Atlantic

The beginning of the ubaroza project, although the Germans in the Eastern Front battle was very successful, but in the Atlantic, the German Navy suffered huge losses.

After the German submarine force used wolf pack tactics, the German Navy did bring extremely heavy losses to the British ships in the Atlantic, but as the British improved equipment and technology to deal with submarines, sonar, radio velocators and more effective deep-water bombs, the British anti-submarine strength increased.

This made the British escort, no longer just passively beaten, the German submarine force also began to taste the taste of being hunted.

As a result, the British began to gradually recover from the panic of the wolf pack tactics.

This spring, the Germans had to choose to send surface warships to participate in the Atlantic blockade war, in May, Germany's fastest new battleship Bismarck, also joined the Atlantic battlefield.

However, Bismarck's fate was already doomed, and at the end of May, Bismarck sank after sinking Hood and wounding Prinz Eugen, and finally the Royal Navy's aircraft carrier fleet sank.

Bismarck's sinking marked a strategic defeat for the German Navy's attempt to win the Battle of the Atlantic on surface warships.

At the beginning of the BBarossa project, Germany, in order to be able to force the British to surrender early, the submarine became the main combat force in the Atlantic blockade.

If the submarine can be combined with the air force, to effectively seal off the British, it is very likely that the British will not be able to persist until next June.

The United Kingdom is an island country with very limited mineral resources and imports of strategic raw materials and food.Taking the statistics of 1937 as an example, 75% of oil, 88% of iron ore, 95% of copper, 93% of aluminum, 91% of rubber, 89% of wheat, and 93% of corn are imported.Before and after the outbreak of the war, it was necessary to import not only strategic raw materials and food, but also a large number of arms.

Imported goods are basically seaborne, and the sea line of communication is a real lifeline for Britain and is of great significance for its war potential.

Therefore, the blockade of England has become the fastest means of defeating the British, but in fact, the United Kingdom has eased a lot, at least not to the extent of famine.

Coupled with the British secretly built radar station again, so that the German aircraft can not fly over the United Kingdom again without scruples, Germany began to fly over Britain, again lost more fighters.

And in the Atlantic, the United States is also more deeply involved in the European battlefield.

The United States, out of its own strategic interests, gradually increased its military assistance to the United Kingdom in the German blockade of Britain, and last year, 50 destroyers were "leaked" to the United Kingdom (UK at the expense of seven military bases), saving the urgent need for insufficient British maritime escort forces.

After the beginning of this year, the United States sent troops directly to escort the British convoy, and more importantly, in the name of the Lend-Lease Law, a large number of weapons were provided to the British for free, and in fact, they fought a war-free maritime war against Germany.

Without the support of the United States, it would be difficult for Britain to survive until the end of the war.

Now Germany can no longer ignore the attitude of the United States, because Germany must ensure that there is no war on the Western Front, so that the German army can defeat the Soviet Union with peace of mind.

This means that Britain will not be able to cause any trouble for Germany.

The good performance of the Satan squadron, coupled with the moustache's knowledge of Fan Yize's very strong submarine force, began to hire a submarine to Fan Yize and participate in the containment of the Atlantic Ocean.

In fact, the moustache also considered many factors, which opened to Fan Yize.

The first is the submarine force under Fan Yize, which is obviously a super submarine that can be ocean-going, and the deal between Germany and Fan Yize is also completed through the transportation of these large submarines.

And the huge tonnage of these submarines will inevitably bring about an improvement in combat effectiveness, which is obviously in line with the moustache aesthetic and strength values.

The hiring of Fan Yize's submarine force, the moustache has long been considered, the failure of the German Navy's surface fleet, so that the moustache put down the last meaning of concern.

Fan Yize did not intend to refuse a request for a submarine force from the moustache.

Because from the beginning, Fan was ready to make the submarine expedition to the Atlantic.

Typhoon-class ballistic missile submarine, this powerful strategic deterrence strike platform, is now in the position of the Red Police Corps, is the maritime transport brigade.

The Red Police Corps' Typhoon-class ballistic missile submarine, with unparalleled underwater speed and displacement, after the removal of 24 launchers, the typhoon-class modified transport submarine, can transport nearly 10,000 tons of cargo, underwater continuous speed can reach 25 knots, nuclear power system, voyage worry-free.

Such a good underwater platform, Fan Yize naturally has a good use, with nuclear submarines as a transport ship, and only Fan Yize can play such a luxury.

Of course, it is also because the typhoon-class submarine platform has such a huge modification value that other submarines are simply unable to meet transportation needs.

After the Typhoon-class submarine was modified, it still had strong underwater firepower, of which torpedoes were essential.

Dismantling the unnecessary vertical launch system, modifying the former torpedo compartment of the submarine, the Typhoon-class ballistic missile submarine, can carry thousands of torpedoes at once, and these torpedoes can not only be used in the typhoon-class itself, but also as a supply platform for other conventional submarines.

Comprehensive attack supply submarine, which is Fan Yize's functional positioning to improve the typhoon class.

Inside the disassembled launcher, all the open launchers are equipped with four marine resupply devices that can be at sea to complete submarine resupply.

With these resupply submarines, the Red Guard Navy’s underwater wolves can also enter the Atlantic Ocean far away from the hyperspace portal and have the ability to continue to fight for a long time.

In the world of the Titanic, the submarine force built by the Navy of the Red Police Corps naturally became the sword in the hands of Fan Yize.

As long as Fan Yize needed it, after considering the impending battle in the Pacific, the Red Guard Navy had the ability to send at least 50 submarines to the Atlantic.

This number is already more than the number of German submarines operating in the Atlantic.

According to Fan Yize, if there is surplus power, since you have to go to the Atlantic, you must perform well.

Fifty Anonymous, accompanied by five Typhoon-class submarines, bypassed the waters of Antarctica and crossed the Atlantic Ocean, and finally entered the North Atlantic.

At this time, when the United States began to vigorously support the United Kingdom, a large number of American merchant ships are departing from the United States mainland.

To this end, Fan Yize specially dispatched the excellent finger soldiers of the Red Police Submarine Force to the cold and personally went to the Atlantic to command the war.

After a two-month voyage, the submarine force of the Red Guard Navy, still maintaining a strong combat effectiveness, had just arrived in the North Atlantic, and the submarine force immediately entered the battle.

According to intelligence from the United States, a large fleet codenamed NX85 has departed from the United States a few days ago and is expected to enter the North Atlantic.

The fleet mainly transported a large number of aircraft parts, once delivered to the British, the British will be able to quickly assemble hundreds of fighters, there are a lot of weapons.

The German submarine also received information from the fleet, contacted the nearby German submarine, and was sure to destroy the fleet as much as possible.

However, this was an easy task for the German submarine force, because the fleet was transporting arms and fighter parts, and the fleet was large, but the escort of the destroyers was also very large.

Relying on the number of German submarines currently in the Atlantic Ocean, it is impossible to effectively attack a fleet with such a powerful anti-submarine escort.

Denise got the moustache, got the contact information with the Red Guard Navy submarine force, and began to share the information obtained by Germany with the Red Guard Navy.

This allowed the Red Guard submarine force to quickly lock the fleet, because some German submarines were following the fleet from afar, and the precise position of the fleet was locked down.

In the vast ocean of 500 nautical miles south of the Faroe Islands, in the sea under the night, the lights dot the sea surface, which is the signal of the fleet's navigation.

The huge fleet, in order to prevent the attack by submarines, in strict accordance with the navigation rules, composed of a large and dense fleet to reduce the anti-submarine destroyer's anti-submarine pressure.

Each merchant ship is closely lined together, advancing at the same course and speed.

On the surrounding destroyers, very careful listening to underwater signals, the role of this fleet for the British is too important.

With the weapons of this fleet, the British can at least guarantee that they will not only be German fighters in the air.

The British were very careful, especially when they began to find signs of German submarines surging around them.

What they did not know, however, was that on the ground twenty nautical miles in front of the fleet, an unprecedented underwater submarine force had been arranged into a huge underwater encirclement, waiting for the fleet to enter.

And the German submarine signals that appear around them, but the suspected soldiers in the plan are far closer to the distance of being found, and then quickly spread far away, attracting the destroyers in the fleet to be vigilant.

At this moment, all the submarines are quietly parked in the ocean, and the communication buoys dropped from the submarine are undulating in the rough waves of the Atlantic Ocean.

The cold war fought an underwater command submarine modified from the typhoon class, and closely followed the movement of the fleet.

In the dark night sky, a small drone the size of a domestic cat is hovering around the NX85 fleet.

“Eight escort destroyers were identified, priority attack procedures were set, and eight escort destroyers were targeted.”

“The scope of the target was confirmed without being found by the Royal Fleet, and the attack time was increased by three hours.”

“Priority attack effect, destroying the entire NX85 transport fleet.”

“Order the 1405 submarine, the 1406 submarine ... ready to attack the target destroyer.”

...

A line of orders continued to be transmitted, and an anonymous submarine that released the communication buoy was quickly prepared to attack.

In addition to the eight anti-submarine destroyers, the NX85 has more than 50 large commercial ships, which is the main food.

However, such a fleet, the first battle against the Red Police Submarines in this world, is still less porridge.

Fifty Anonymous, five Typhoon-class, enough to destroy ten times their own fleet, but dozens of large merchant ships, the target is still too little.

However, this is also the first battle of the submarine, so the joint attack, after this attack, the submarine force will disperse, the formation of more terrible wolves, hunting the entire Atlantic.

A good hunter can determine the scope of the hunting ground, the Germans can not do this, but the Red Guard Navy, is an expert in this regard.

Anonymous, who has a very quiet ability, seems to be completely non-existent, and the NX85 fleet has completely entered the encirclement, but the anti-submarine destroyer has still not found it.

The torpedo attack began, and a torpedo was headed in the direction of the fleet.

The torpedo, with its good silent ability, was not found until it was close to the destroyer.

However, these anti-submarine destroyers who can hunt German submarines are not enough to see in front of the Red Police Submarines, because their sonar is still behind.

Eight escort destroyers were destroyed almost simultaneously, and the entire fleet boiled up in an instant.

The sailors on the merchant ship, one by one, looked at the destroyer that had been blown to pieces, and this was the first time he had encountered it.

Did the German submarine first ambush the anti-submarine destroyer?

Do you have many submarines in Germany?Too much courage?

But these are not important, the escort of the destroyer was killed, the rest is nothing to say, the crew hastily put on the life jacket, the experienced sailors are ready to put down the lifeboat.

The escort warship was sunk, and the fate of the fleet did not need to think much.

Six kilometers away from the fleet, a German U-boat floated out of the water, and the German captain looked at the destroyers burning on the sea, and the whole people were stupid.

"God is on our side."

Moments later, the captain of the German submarineboat muttered, then hurriedly shouted, "Fill the torpedoes, kill these merchant ships."

However, there was no waiting for the submarine to target the first target, and in the distant fleet, the sound of dense explosions came one after another, and the torpedoes continued to hit these 10,000-ton merchant ships, and the fire of the explosion on the whole sea surface was filled, and the smoke was rolling.

"Could you find the signal of their submarine."The German captain asked again.

The sonar officer shook his head, and he could not hear the sonar signal of the sonar of the sonar of the sonar of the sonar of the sonar of the torpedo at all.

"Well, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that we don't attack, and these merchant ships don't have our share."

It was a victor's feast, and the Red Guard submarine force, which launched the first round of attack, began to retreat.

The first round of attack, which had destroyed most of the merchant ships, and the remaining merchant ships, could be left to the German submarines, the Red Guards were unwilling to carry out a side without orders.
