This aircraft carrier battle group of the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Chinese Navy, which entered the Mediterranean Sea from the Red Sea via the Suez Canal, began its two-day patrol with normal conditions, and no suspicious fleets were found, only 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, and next to this rear admiral, there were several naval officers, including a colonel, two lieutenant colonels, and several majors.

As the first Chinese fleet to enter the Mediterranean, everyone naturally hopes to find the bad luck of the German Navy and fight a beautiful battle.

"Commander! These days have been calm, there is no shadow of the German navy, whether they have fled from the wind, whether they have seen us enter the Mediterranean, and have run away. ”

The words of this major officer were naturally a joke, and when they heard this, everyone laughed.

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

"Comrades, the German Navy was not strong, no trace of the German Navy was found, and it was very normal, we patrolled for another two days as planned, and then returned to Port Said to escort the landing of the 6th Army on the coast of Italy."

"yes!" A Chinese naval colonel next to him took over the conversation and said with emotion: "The war has reached this point, Germany has lost the war, their navy is gradually declining, and the scale of warships can no longer be compared with a few years ago." ”

The German Navy was not very strong in the first place. The reason why the German army swept Europe at the beginning was because of his powerful army, Germany in World War II, the army was almost the best in the world at that time, and the air force was not bad, but the only fly in the ointment was his navy, which was basically nothing except submarines.

Now, as the war progressed, many large warships of the German army were sunk by the Allies, and the powerful submarine force of the German Navy was also declining, and it no longer had 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 when they saw that they might not be able to discover the German navy this time. Originally, everyone wanted to fight the German Navy in the Mediterranean. However, now it seems that I am afraid that it will not be possible.

It's been three days, and the shadow of the German Navy has not been found, two days later. Everyone is going back to Port Said. The escort of the 6th Army landed in Italy.

This Chinese rear admiral. Looking at the calm Mediterranean, I was also slightly disappointed.

While everyone was feeling a little disappointed, a captain walked in briskly. With a happy face, he reported: "Commander! Our radar detected the appearance of a large fleet on the north-western front, about 110 nautical miles from us. ”

A large fleet was found, and it was the German Navy, and when they got the report, everyone cheered up, and their faces were obviously a little excited.

"Commander! There is a turning point! I have the feeling that maybe this is a German fleet. Next to a Navy Colonel, bold predictions.

The Chinese rear admiral also nodded slightly, and then immediately ordered: "Full speed ahead, approach this unknown fleet, and in addition, send two helicopters to investigate." ”

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

The distance of 110 nautical miles, for a helicopter, is less than an hour, and it did not take long for the two armed helicopters to reach the target sea area, about a few kilometers away from this unknown fleet, at an altitude of several hundred meters, and began to carefully reconnoiter from a distance.

This is a mixed fleet, not only warships, but also a few submarines, however, more of a large number of merchant ships and cargo ships, such civilian ships at least a dozen, and each merchant ship and cargo ship of relatively large tonnage, are thousands of tons of displacement, the largest one, may exceed 10,000 tons.

This is a convoy of German transport ships, these merchant ships and cargo ships, all loaded with all kinds of raw materials, including ore, oil, and even rubber, which are all strategic materials.

As the war progressed, Germany's domestic resources have become more and more scarce, and many weapons manufacturing has begun to cut corners, and resources are particularly important to Germany.

This German fleet was loaded with supplies to Germany, and the German warships next to it were naturally escorted.

The German fleet consisted of one battleship, one heavy cruiser, three light cruisers, and several small warships, possibly destroyers or frigates, and three submarines in addition to these surface ships.

One medium submarine, two small submarines, these three submarines are sailing on the surface of the sea, although the target is several kilometers away, the fighters on the helicopter can still see clearly through the telescope.

Submarines are not constantly underwater, submarines of this era, in general, are a hybrid of diesel and electric, in general, submarines sail on the surface, and the power is provided by diesel engines on the submarine.

When you need to fight, or when you really need to dive, you dive underwater, and the submarine that dives underwater relies on the battery to provide power, because it is powered by the battery, so the time to dive underwater is limited, and when the battery is exhausted, the submarine must float.

Of course, if there is a submarine with a snorkel, after the snorkel is raised, it can sail for a long time under water of several meters, and it is powered by diesel power, and the submarines produced in China have such a snorkel, but it is not known whether these German submarines have such a device.

On the two helicopters, these fighters continuously reported the situation they had detected to the "Wuhan" aircraft carrier.

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

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

A few hours later, the Chinese Navy's aircraft carrier battle group was only 40 or 50 kilometers away from the German fleet, and at this distance, many warships of the aircraft carrier battle group began to prepare for battle.

At this distance, even if the German Navy has radar, it cannot be detected, and the German radar can only detect surface ships within thirty kilometers.

The warships of the "Wuhan" aircraft carrier battle group were 40 to 50 kilometers away from the German fleet, and two of the submarines belonging to the aircraft carrier battle group were already approaching the German fleet.

These two submarines are new submarines produced in China, with a displacement of 2,000 tons, which belong to medium-sized submarines, and now, these two aircraft carriers are sailing under water several meters deep, and on the surface, only a periscope and a snorkel are exposed.

In such a vast sea, it is almost impossible to find the periscope and snorkel that are outcropping, unless they are very close and carefully searched.

Obviously, the German fleet did not find the Chinese aircraft carrier battle group in the slightest, nor did it find these two Chinese submarines that were only two or three kilometers away from themselves.

The German warships, which have not been fast, have been sailing at a constant speed, without the slightest 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 fighters on these two Chinese submarines know all this clearly, and through the periscope, they can clearly see the situation on the surface.

This time, the two Chinese submarines took the initiative to attack, the purpose of which was to take the lead in destroying the three German submarines, and the German submarines posed a certain threat to the aircraft carrier battle group; when the three German submarines were destroyed, the "Wuhan" aircraft carrier battle group could launch missiles with confidence and not worry about the threat from below the surface at all.

Now, seeing these three German submarines take the lead, it was a good opportunity for the fighters to turn off the diesel engines, put away the periscopes and snorkels, and start diving.

After diving to a depth of several tens of meters, the two submarines quietly outflanked the German submarine, and gradually, they got closer to the German submarine and completely reached the effective range of torpedoes.

Inside the two submarines, the fighters began to get busy in an orderly manner, the torpedo tubes opened, and began to fill with water, making a gurgling sound under the water, such a sound was inevitable.

At this time, it is also the easiest time for the submarine to be discovered, knowing that the torpedo tube of the submarine has been opened, the fighters inside the submarine are more nervous.

However, apparently, the German side was more careless and did not notice the sound made under the water, and the preparations for the torpedo launch of the Chinese submarine were not dangerous.

When everything was ready, the commanders of the two submarines successively gave the order to launch, and the two submarines each fired a torpedo of a 500 mm caliber weighing more than 1,000 kilograms.

The time of the two torpedoes was not large, less than ten seconds, and the two torpedoes went towards the German submarine at high speed under water, this time, the first target of the fighters was the German medium submarine, which was a little larger, in addition, there was a small submarine, and as for the other remaining small submarine, it was temporarily let go and the next time the torpedo was fired.

The submarines of the fighters were not yet able to deal with two targets at the same time, so they could only deal with one target per submarine, and first fired two torpedoes at the two German submarines.

Today's update, also ask for collections and recommendations.

In addition, the book is almost at the end, there are about tens of thousands of words to finish, in the future period, there will not be many updates per day, maybe two chapters, maybe one chapter, everyone allow me to slow down, think about it, try to write a better ending. (To be continued.) )
