The Rise of the Great Powers in the War of Resistance

The aircraft carrier battle group of the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Chinese Navy entered the Mediterranean from the Red Sea through the Suez Canal. The two-day patrol was normal. No suspicious fleet was found, but some small fleets of the Allied forces, 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 rear admiral was looking at the sparkling sea through the glass of the command room. Beside the major general, there were several naval officers, including a colonel, two A lieutenant colonel, several majors.

In the past few days, there has been no enemy situation, and a bird has faded out of everyone's mouth. As the first Chinese fleet to enter the Mediterranean Sea, we naturally hope to find the bad luck of the German navy and fight a good battle.

"Commander! It's been calm for the past few days, and there's no sign of the German navy. Did they flee because they saw us entering the Mediterranean Sea?" [

What the major officer said was naturally a joke. Hearing this, everyone burst out laughing.

The Chinese rear admiral, commander of the "Wuhan" aircraft carrier battle group, also smiled slightly.

"Comrades, the German navy is not strong. It is normal to find no trace of the German navy. We will patrol for another two days as planned, and then return to Port Said to escort the 6th Army to land on the coast of Italy."

"Yes!" A Chinese navy colonel next to him took over the conversation and said with emotion: "At this point in the war, Germany has already lost, and their navy has gradually declined. Compared."

The German navy was not considered powerful.The reason why the German army swept across Europe at the beginning was due to its powerful army. In Germany in World War II, the army was almost the best in the world at that time, and the air force was also good, but the only fly in the ointment was his navy, which basically had nothing but submarines.

Now, with the progress of the war, many large warships of the German army were sunk by the Allied forces, and the powerful submarine force of the German Navy is also declining, and it is no longer the glory of the early days of World War II.

In the command room of the "Wuhan", a group of Chinese naval commanders were somewhat disappointed to see that the German navy might not be found this time.Originally, everyone hoped to fight the German Navy in the Mediterranean.However, now it seems that it may not be possible.

It has been three days, and the shadow of the German navy has not been found, and two days later.We will return to Port Said.Escorted 6th Army landed in Italy.

This Chinese Navy Rear Admiral.Looking at the calm Mediterranean Sea, I felt slightly disappointed in my heart.

When everyone felt a little disappointed, a navy captain walked in quickly.Reported with joy on his face: "Commander! Our radar found that in the northwest, about 110 nautical miles away from us, a large fleet appeared."

After discovering a large fleet, maybe it was the German Navy, everyone cheered up after getting the report, with a bit of excitement on their faces.

"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 rear admiral also nodded slightly, and then immediately ordered: "Move forward at full speed and approach this unknown fleet. In addition, send two helicopters to investigate."

Soon, everyone took action one after another. As soon as the order was issued, two helicopters on the "Wuhan" aircraft carrier took off and headed for the target area.

The distance of 110 nautical miles is less than an hour for a helicopter. It didn't take long for the two armed helicopters to reach the target sea area, about a few kilometers away from the unknown fleet, at an altitude of hundreds of meters, far away. Careful investigation.

This is a mixed fleet, including not only warships, but also several submarines. However, there are more 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 of which have a displacement of thousands of tons, and the largest one may exceed [-] tons.

This is a transport fleet of the German army. These merchant ships and cargo ships are full of various raw materials, including ore, oil, and even rubber. These are strategic materials.

As the war progressed, Germany's domestic resources became more and more scarce, and many weapons manufacturing began to cut corners. Resources are particularly important to Germany.

This German fleet, fully loaded with supplies, was shipped to Germany, and the German warship next to it was naturally escorted. [

The escorting German fleet included a battleship, a heavy cruiser, three light cruisers, and several small warships, possibly destroyers or frigates. In addition to these surface ships, there were also three submarines.

A medium-sized submarine and two small submarines were sailing on the sea surface. Although the target was several kilometers away, the soldiers on the helicopter could still see clearly through the binoculars.

Submarines do not always sail underwater. Submarines in this era are generally diesel and electric hybrids. In general, submarines sail on the surface, and the power is provided by the diesel engine on the submarine.

When it is necessary to fight, or when it is really necessary to dive, it dives into the water. The submarine that dives into the water relies on the battery to provide power. Because it is powered by the battery, the time to dive underwater is limited. After that, the submarine must surface.

Of course, if a submarine has a snorkel, after raising the snorkel, it can sail for a long time under several meters of water, and use diesel power. The submarines produced in China all have this kind of ventilating device. However, these German submarines I don't know if there is such a device.

On the two helicopters, these fighters will continuously report the detected situation to the "Wuhan" aircraft carrier.

At this time, the "Wuhan" aircraft carrier battle group was heading here at high speed. The speed of the Chinese warships was much faster than these German merchant ships and cargo ships, and the distance between the two sides was gradually shrinking.

And these two helicopters, in order to prevent being discovered by the German warships, after the observation, began to return to the "Wuhan" aircraft carrier.

A few hours later, the aircraft carrier battle group of the Chinese Navy was only [-] to [-] kilometers away from the German fleet. At this distance, many warships in the aircraft carrier battle group began to prepare for combat.

At this distance, even if the German navy has radar, it cannot be found. The German radar can only detect surface ships within [-] 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 approaching the German fleet.

These two submarines are new types of submarines produced by China, with a displacement of [-] tons. They are medium-sized submarines. Now, these two aircraft carriers are sailing underwater at a depth of several meters. On the surface of the water, only a periscope and a snorkel.

On such a vast sea, it is almost impossible to find the periscope and snorkel above the water, unless the distance is very close and the search is careful.

Obviously, this fleet of the German army did not find the Chinese aircraft carrier battle group at all, nor did it find these two Chinese submarines that were only two or three kilometers away from them.

The speed of the German warships has always been slow, and they 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 knew all of this clearly, and they could clearly see the situation on the water through the periscope.

This time, the two Chinese submarines took the initiative to attack, with the purpose of destroying the three German submarines first. The German submarines have a certain wēixié to the aircraft carrier battle group. The battle group can launch missiles with confidence, and don't worry about wēixié from under the water at all.

Now, it is a good opportunity for the soldiers to see the three German submarines taking the lead. 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 torpedo.

In the two submarines, the soldiers began to be busy in an orderly manner. The torpedo tubes were opened and water began to be injected. There was a gurgling sound of water injection under the water. Such a sound was inevitable.

At this time, it is also the time when the submarine is most likely to be discovered. Knowing that the torpedo tube of the submarine has been opened, the soldiers in the submarine are quite nervous.

However, it is clear that the German army was rather careless and did not notice the underwater sound. The preparations for the torpedo launch of the Chinese submarine were not dangerous. [

Everything was ready, the commanders in the two submarines successively issued launch orders, and the two submarines each launched a torpedo with a caliber of 500 mm and a weight of thousands of kilograms.

The time interval between the launch of the two torpedoes was not 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 is a small submarine. As for the remaining small submarine, it will be temporarily let go, and the torpedo will be launched next time.

The soldiers' submarines were still unable to deal with two targets at the same time, so each submarine could only deal with one target. First, they fired two torpedoes at the two German submarines.

For today's update, I also ask for favorites and recommendations.

In addition, the book is coming to an end, and there are still about tens of thousands of words to finish. In the next period of time, there will not be many updates every day, maybe two chapters, maybe one chapter, please allow me to slow down and read carefully. Think about it and try to write a better ending. (To be continued.)
