"Lao Tzu's submarine force is raised by the stepmother, and there is no support! Toss it yourself, Sa Zhenbing, this kid is an anti-submarine destroyer and an airship, isn't this bullying? In the conference room, Cai Tinggan scolded and said. Cai Tinggan really didn't expect that at the last moment, he would be able to escape alive and then go back to claim the award, but he let a flying ship dangling in the air be disposed of!

IF IT IS IN ACTUAL COMBAT, THIS AIRSHIP CAN REDUCE THE ALTITUDE AND THEN USE THE 47MM RAPID-FIRE GUN IN THE POD TO BEAT THE SUBMARINE INTO A SIEVE, BUT THE SUBMARINE HAS NO WAY AT ALL, IF YOU DIVE, THE AIRSHIP REALLY CAN'T HIT YOU, BUT PEOPLE CAN WAIT, YOU CAN'T GET RID OF ELECTRICITY ON THE SURFACE, AND YOU CAN'T MOVE UNDER THE WATER, AND YOU ONLY HAVE TWO ENDINGS THAT YOU WILL EITHER SUFFOCATE UNDER THE WATER, OR COME UP TO DIE. If you dare to drive on the water, follow until you beat the submarine into a sieve!

"Okay, let's get ready for a meeting, it's not enough to sink a ship." Just as Cai Tinggan was complaining, Yang Yonglin walked in and knocked on the table, followed by Sa Zhenbing, who was pale. Sa Zhenbing was naturally not in a good mood after losing the exercise, but Cai Tinggan won...... It's okay to play a live treasure if you have nothing to do, but you can't go too far, it will affect unity, ..........

"By the way, Commander, we still have a submarine waiting at the entrance to Dalian Bay, how is this submarine? Why haven't you heard from them since you came back? Cai Tinggan asked suddenly. After being discovered by the airship, he immediately sent a telegram to the Sea Tiger 3 submarine, meaning that the mission had been completed and it was time to retreat. But after he sent the telegram, he didn't receive a call back from the Sea Tiger No. 3 until he returned to the voyage, which made Cai Tinggan very uneasy.

"You mean the Sea Tiger No. 3, now it is stranded and is being rescued, but you don't have to worry about people, they have all been rescued, and now everyone is towing the submarine." Sa Zhenbing said with a wicked smile. "Let you wait at the door of your house! Now you are dumbfounded, the port itself is very cramped, and there are lightning nets. The underwater environment can be said to be quite complicated, usually submarines walk on the surface of the sea to watch the buoy enter the port, and now it is abnormal to walk underwater and cannot find a reference object! ”

This is not to say that the level of training of the submarine forces of the Chinese Navy is too low. Even in World War I, the German Navy sent 8 submarines to attack the British Royal Navy anchorage at the beginning of the war, and 2 of them were forced to return due to mechanical problems, 1 submarine was sunk by the light cruiser Birmingham, and the other 5 did not achieve the slightest record, on the one hand, because the performance of the submarines at that time was really tragic, and on the other hand, because .........the environment was too complicated - various shoals, lightning nets and mine arrays made it difficult for the submarine to move an inch.

By the way, there may be deliberately sunken ships blocking the channel, in short, it can be described as nine deaths. Therefore, Cai Tinggan's plan seems to be good, but the feasibility is not high.

Although the exercise was over, the smell of gunpowder at the venue was still very strong, and Sa Zhenbing repeatedly stressed that it was because of the fixed voyage that caused the "sinking" of the Weihai this time, if his own voyage was not fixed. Even if there are a few submarines, it is not easy to sink a cruiser that is constantly changing course at high speed. Of course, Sa Zhenbing also admitted that after "wrecking" a submarine, he was a little careless, but he really didn't expect someone to have more than N followers!

As for Sa Zhenbing's remarks, Cai Tinggan actually agreed very much, almost all members of his submarine detachment attacked an armored cruiser with so much effort, and in the end almost all the troops were wiped out, if you face the Russian Grand Fleet, there are hundreds of capital ships and auxiliary warships, and you will be lined up in a battle line that is several kilometers long, if you go up, you will really be looking for death, and no matter how slow the movement speed of the large fleet is, it will be more than 12 knots, and you will definitely not be able to be on the water in the past, and it won't take long to go underwater before the fire is extinguished! You can only ambush, and the ambush tactics may not work, at most once or twice, and if more people are prepared, it will be too difficult to attack the Grand Fleet, so you don't need to be too troublesome, and you won't dare to take the lead if the frigate opens the way in front, and if you change the course again, you won't even be able to find it! As for going to the port to directly "assassinate", the Sea Tiger 3 is already an example, unless it is absolutely necessary, Cai Tinggan is not like an adventure, the lightning protection nets and anti-submarine nets in the port of Batavia are definitely a nightmare for submarines! …………。

"I think that the main task of the submarine forces should be to attack the transport ships of the opposing side, as well as reconnaissance. Attacking the fleet is really not a very reliable thing, the danger is too great, the difficulty is too high. Unless we know in advance the enemy's voyage, it will be very difficult to find a fleet in the vast sea, and even if we find the opponent's fleet, if there are many destroyers, the probability of failure is very high. Cai Tinggan said.

"However, although it is inconvenient to attack a dynamic fleet, and it is dangerous to attack a fleet in a harbor, submarine forces can still carry out offensive minelaying outside the opponent's harbor. In addition, considering that the range of submarines is on the short side, I hope to provide special camouflaged refueling ships and supply ships for submarine forces. The fuel capacity of a submarine is only about 60 tons, and a ship can provide enough fuel for the submarines of a submarine squadron for 1 month. If you are too far ahead, you can only use Malaya and Sarawak as bases to help. Torpedo supply is not very important...... Because in the face of merchant ships, it can be solved completely with naval guns. Don't look at the artillery of the 1BM, it is enough to deal with merchant ships. Cai Tinggan added.

"Since Colonel Cai Tinggan talked about the practical methods of submarines, I basically agree, although my mistake caused the sinking of the Weihai, but I still think that the submarine force has limited lethality against a well-protected fleet. Of course, for a lone battleship or small formation, the tactics of ambushing at a predetermined location can still achieve good results. At the same time, I think that the tactic of submarine group attack used by Colonel Cai Tinggan this time will be difficult to implement in the open sea, after all, our submarines are scarce, and the sea area to be taken into account is too large, plus the problem of communication. The actual effect of submarine group operations is actually not as good as that of single-boat safaris. Submarines are assassins, and who has ever seen assassins go out in droves to assassinate? Sa Zhenbing said..........

"However, this time, Sa has something new about anti-submarine warfare. Submarines are like assassins with lethal weapons but very close range, their range is extremely limited, and they are not underwater for a long time, so what we need to do is to increase our anti-submarine depth as much as possible, the distance between the frigate and the capital ship must be large, and the number must be large, and we can also send frigates to sweep before the capital ship enters the war zone. Do not seek to sink the opponent's submarine, at least ensure that the opponent's submarine cannot attack. After Sa Zhenbing finished speaking, he looked at Cai Tinggan, who was sitting opposite.

"I would like to add that air power is deadly for submarines!" Cai Tinggan added. It's not that airships can carry a lot of depth charges.

The key is that because of the altitude, the airship can conduct reconnaissance of the sea surface in a large area, even if a submarine escapes with all its might. It is also impossible to escape the reconnaissance range of an airship, the range of 8 nautical miles is 1M, in the face of an airship of several hundred meters or even higher, in the case of an observation radius of more than 40 kilometers at this position, the submarine is almost impossible to escape, because once the power is out, it will have to float up to charge, and the smoke generated by the diesel engine will also let the other party find your whereabouts, don't forget, your background is a blue sea!. …。

"At the same time, at the flotillary mooring, we should strengthen the mine array and anti-submarine nets, and if necessary, we can also sink ships in advance to block the channels that some submarines can use, if it is stationed at sea, the light control must be strictly enforced, and at the same time, each capital ship must put down the mine protection nets when it is berthed. In addition, we need to increase the number of convoys so that we can provide escort for troop carriers or quartermasters, even if it is one, it is a deterrent for submarines. Sa Zhenbing quickly jumped his mind from the fleet to the transport ship, after all, there are thousands of soldiers and thousands of tons of supplies on a transport ship, if one is dropped, of course it hurts! …。

"You mean the establishment of an escort system? This idea is good, but maybe there are not enough frigates, even if it is difficult to modify civilian ships, it is better to recruit a large number of high-speed merchant ships and large-range merchant ships, the former can effectively avoid encountering submarines, the maximum surface speed of submarines is about 14 knots, submarines are generally on the surface to search for the enemy, found before diving closer, the time on the water is much longer than the time underwater. If the merchant ship can reach a speed of 20 knots, it can easily shake off the tracking of opponents. How can an enemy submarine attack if it can't even track it? "Gradually...... Cai Tinggan actually considered how to deal with the submarine force as an opponent, after all, in the entire Chinese Navy, he was the only one who specialized in submarines, and he also had the most ......... characteristics of this kind of thing.

In short, this meeting was very successful, after this confrontation exercise, both the submarine side and the anti-submarine side have gained a lot, Cai Tinggan will not go to the big fleet of the Russians all day long to think about as before, what he is thinking about now is how to send the fleet of supplies to Russia and the Netherlands to the bottom of the sea one by one. Then put a general star on your epaulettes. This will be very good-looking, (the tonnage of ocean-going merchant ships is large~~) The effect is also very large, (even a shipload of coal can be worth a lot of money.) Of course, the biggest benefit is that there is less risk!

As for Sa Zhenbing, it was a little difficult, because there were two roads in front of him now, the first way was to enter the fast fleet after Liu Buyun came back and serve as the captain of a certain capital ship. And the other way is to be a "child king!" "With a big ticket of boats and airships all day studying how to fight these loaches in the water! The former was his lifelong dream, while the latter fascinated him because, in his opinion, the work was very exciting and, more importantly, challenging!

As for Yang Yonglin, he is very busy now, because in addition to reporting the situation of submarine warfare to Xu Jie, he also has to prepare for the return of Liu Buchan's fleet, after all, what about the 7 dreadnoughts, the berth supply required, etc., are all big problems..........

Thank you for the reward from dsvst~~.
