- The aircraft carrier battle group of the Chinese Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet entered the Mediterranean from the Red Sea through the Suez Canal. The first two days of patrol were normal. No suspicious fleets were found. They only discovered some small Allied fleets, as well as some ordinary cargo ships and merchant ships.
On the third day, the enemy was finally discovered.
In the command room of the "Wuhan" aircraft carrier, a Chinese navy rear admiral was looking at the sparkling sea through the glass of the command room. Next to the rear admiral, there were several naval officers, including a colonel, and two A lieutenant colonel and several majors.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
"Commander! It has been calm these past few days, and there is no sign of the German navy. Did they flee? Did they see us entering the Mediterranean Sea and run away one after another?"
The major officer¡¯s words were naturally a joke. Everyone burst out laughing when they heard the words.
The Chinese navy rear admiral, the commander of the "Wuhan" aircraft carrier battle group, also smiled slightly.
"Comrades, the German navy is not strong. No trace of the German navy has been found, which is normal. We will patrol for another two days as planned, and then return to Port Said to escort the 6th Army to land on the Italian coast."
"Yes!" A Chinese naval colonel next to him took over the conversation and said with emotion: "At this point in the war, Germany has already been defeated. Their navy has also gradually declined. The size of the warships can no longer be the same as it was a few years ago. Compared to that.¡±
The German navy was not very powerful to begin with. The reason why the German army swept through Europe was because of its powerful army. During World War II, Germany's army was almost the best in the world at the time. The air force was also good, but the only flaw was its navy. Basically nothing except submarines.
Now, as the war progresses, many large German warships have been sunk by the Allies, and the German Navy's powerful submarine force has also declined, and will never regain its glory in the early days of World War II.
In the command room of the "Wuhan", a group of Chinese naval commanders were present. Seeing that the German navy might not be discovered this time, I was a little disappointed. Everyone originally hoped to fight the German navy in the Mediterranean, but now it seems that they may not be able to do so.
It¡¯s been three days. No sign of the German navy was found. Two days later, everyone will return to Port Said to escort the 6th Army to land in Italy.
This Chinese navy rear admiral looked at the calm Mediterranean Sea. I was also slightly disappointed in my heart.
When everyone felt a little disappointed, a naval captain walked in quickly and reported with a joyful face: "Commander! Our radar found that in the northwest, about 110 nautical miles away from us. A large force appeared. fleet."
Found a large fleet, maybe it was the German Navy. After receiving the report, everyone cheered up, and their faces were obviously a little excited.
"Commander! There is a turning point! I feel that this may be a German fleet." A naval colonel next to him made a bold prediction.
The Chinese navy rear admiral also nodded slightly, and then immediately ordered: "Go forward at full speed and approach this unknown fleet. In addition, send two helicopters to investigate."
Soon, everyone took action, and as soon as the order was issued, two helicopters on the "Wuhan" aircraft carrier took off and headed for the target area.
110 nautical miles. For helicopters, it took less than an hour and not long before the two armed helicopters reached the target sea area. It was about a few kilometers away from this unknown fleet and at an altitude of several hundred meters. Start careful investigation from a distance.
This is a mixed fleet, with not only warships but also several submarines, but more of them are a large number of merchant ships and cargo ships. There are at least a dozen such civilian ships, and the tonnage of each merchant ship and cargo ship is relatively large. , all have a displacement of several thousand tons, and the largest one may exceed 10,000 tons.
This is a transport fleet of the German army. These merchant ships and cargo ships are all loaded with various raw materials, including ores, oil, and even rubber. These are strategic materials.
As the war progresses, Germany¡¯s domestic resources have become increasingly scarce, and many weapons manufacturers have begun to cut corners. Resources are particularly important to Germany.
This German fleet is full of supplies destined for Germany, and the German warships next to it are naturally escorting them.
The escorting German fleet included a battleship, a heavy cruiser, three light cruisers, and several small warships, which may be destroyers or frigates. In addition to these surface ships, there were also three submarines.
? ?There are 1 medium-sized submarine and two small submarines. These three submarines are sailing on the sea. Although the target is several kilometers away, the soldiers on the helicopter can still see it clearly through the telescope.
Submarines do not always sail underwater. Submarines in this era are generally diesel and electric hybrids. Generally, when submarines sail on the surface, power is provided by the diesel engine on the submarine.
Only dive underwater when you need to fight, or when you really need to dive. A submarine that dives underwater relies on the battery to provide power. Because it relies on the battery to provide power, the time you can dive underwater is limited. When the battery power is exhausted, After that, the submarine must surface.
Of course, if a submarine has a snorkel, after raising the snorkel, it can sail under several meters of water for a long time and use diesel power. Submarines produced in China all have this kind of breather device. However, these German submarines I don't know if there is such a device.
On the two helicopters, these soldiers continuously reported the detected situation to the "Wuhan" aircraft carrier.
At this time, the "Wuhan" aircraft carrier battle group was heading here at high speed. The Chinese warship was sailing much faster than these German merchant ships and cargo ships, and the distance between the two sides was gradually shrinking.
In order to prevent being discovered by German warships, the two helicopters began to return to the "Wuhan" aircraft carrier after completing the observation.
A few hours later, the Chinese Navy's aircraft carrier battle group was only 40 to 50 kilometers away from the German fleet. At this distance, many warships in the aircraft carrier battle group began to prepare for battle.
At this distance, even if the German navy had radar, it would not be able to detect it. The German radar could only detect surface ships within thirty kilometers.
The warships of the "Wuhan" aircraft carrier battle group are four to fifty kilometers away from the German fleet, and two of the submarines belonging to the aircraft carrier battle group are already close to the German fleet.
These two submarines are new submarines produced in China, with a displacement of 2,000 tons. They are medium-sized submarines. Now, these two aircraft carriers are sailing underwater several meters deep. On the water surface, only a periscope and a snorkel are exposed.
On such a vast sea, it is almost impossible to find the periscope and snorkel above the water unless you are very close and search carefully.
Obviously, the German fleet did not detect the Chinese aircraft carrier battle group at all, nor did it detect the two Chinese submarines that were only two or three kilometers away from it.
The German warships have never been fast and have been sailing at a constant speed without any intention of accelerating. In front of the German fleet, the three German submarines took the lead, sailing on the water, leading the entire German fleet by at least several hundred meters.
The soldiers on the two Chinese submarines know all this clearly. Through the periscope, they can clearly see the situation on the water.
This time, the two Chinese submarines took the initiative to attack, with the purpose of taking the lead in destroying the three German submarines. The German submarines posed a certain threat to the aircraft carrier battle group. When the three German submarines were destroyed, the "Wuhan" aircraft carrier The battle group can safely launch missiles without worrying about threats from under the water.
Now, seeing these three German submarines taking the lead is a good opportunity for the soldiers. The two submarines began to shut down their diesel engines, put away their periscopes and snorkels, and began to dive.
After diving to a depth of tens of meters, the two submarines quietly outflanked the German submarine. Gradually, they got closer to the German submarine and completely reached the effective attack range of the torpedoes.
In the two submarines, the soldiers began to be busy in an orderly manner. The torpedo tubes were opened and began to fill with water, making a gurgling sound of water filling underwater. Such a sound is inevitable.
At this time, it is also the time when the submarine is most easily discovered. Knowing that the torpedo launch tube of their own submarine has been opened, the soldiers inside the submarine seem nervous.
However, it is obvious that the German army was careless and did not notice the sound coming from the water. The preparations for the Chinese submarine's torpedo launch were successful.
With everything ready, the commanders in the two submarines successively issued launch orders. The two submarines each launched a 500 mm caliber torpedo weighing thousands of kilograms.
The launch time of the two torpedoes was not very long, less than ten seconds. The two torpedoes headed towards the German submarine at high speed underwater. This time, the soldiers' primary target was the larger medium-sized German submarine. In addition, there were There is one small submarine. As for the other remaining small submarine, let it go for the time being and launch torpedoes next time.
The submarines of the soldiers are not yet able to deal with two targets at the same time, so each submarine can only deal with one target. First, they will attack the two German submarines and then attack them respectively.Two torpedoes were fired.
