Chapter 1007: Wolf Pack Tactics!

"Do you know why I chose to be on the high seas?"

In the early morning of the next day, on the speedboat, Ye Xiuwen looked at it with a telescope and asked Zhou Wenbin beside him.

"The high seas are places without sovereignty, so it's easy to move.

It's just a pity that those Maldives coast guards are going to die in the sea and feed the fish! ......." Zhou Wenbin said in a weird way.

"They're soldiers, and if they don't have the ability to protect themselves, that's their own business." Ye Xiuwen said expressionlessly.

"Are you really ruthless?" Zhou Wenbin quipped.

"Sort of! When I get the super cells, I'll take you back too. I see that your vacation is almost over. Ye Xiuwen snorted coldly.

"Tsk, you are ruthless, are you really ruthless? After all, we've been fighting for so long, and you're trying to capture me? Zhou Wenbin said with a look of contempt for Ye Xiuwen.

"I remember you once told me that you joined the 'Zero' organization because you had no choice but to fall for that virus.

But now, your life is no longer threatened by this virus, why not turn yourself in? Ye Xiuwen asked.

"I'm used to it, it's very comfortable with this life. I'm going to go to jail when I go back,......." Zhou Wenbin said with rolling his eyes. Ye Xiuwen felt that this time, he might be telling the truth.

Wandering, at least he is free, but when he returns to Huaxia, he will definitely be sent to prison.

"Falling leaves return to your roots, you will want to go back sooner or later." Ye Xiuwen said.

"Let's talk about it then! When I am seventy or eighty years old and unable to move, I will go back to retire,.......

Huh? That's right? I have given you so many things, isn't it considered a retribution? Zhou Wenbin asked in vain.

"No, because I'm the only one who knows about it,........" Ye Xiuwen replied very dryly.

"Hey? You, a person, all say white-eyed wolf, white-eyed wolf, it turns out that you are talking about you? Zhou Wenbin said angrily.

"You know, you're still coming to me to cooperate?"

Ye Xiuwen smiled, Zhou Wenbin just wanted to have a seizure, but he didn't want to At this time, a coast guard ship was gradually emerging in Zhou Wenbin's field of vision.

"It's really God, how do you know that they will definitely go here?" Zhou Wenbin shook his head and said.

"Quite simply, they didn't find us when they left the island. They will know that we will wait for them on the high seas.

The nearest route should be the one to Somalia.

So they will avoid this route and turn to the Cape of Good Hope.

And in this way, although the road is farther, once they enter the land of Africa, then it will be difficult for us to find them. ”

Ye Xiuwen said slightly, Zhou Wenbin gave Ye Xiuwen a thumbs up, and said: "A black wolf is a black wolf, I can't hide anything from you, so what should we do next?" Our ship is small, huh? ”

"The wolf pack tactics, there are no heavy weapons on the coast guard ship, only water cannons, which is very difficult to deal with. But my boat is very fast, send two speedboats to entangle them, and then we will board the boat from behind,........" Ye Xiuwen said.

"Good!"

Zhou Wenbin responded that he was also familiar with the tactics of wolves.

The wolf pack tactic is the "wolf pack tactic" pioneered by the German admiral 'Dönitz' in World War II, which made the German Navy rampant in the early days of World War II.

The "wolf pack tactics" and Guderian's "blitzkrieg" are called the two "magic weapons" of the German army on land and sea.

The essence of the wolf pack tactic is to concentrate the combined forces of weak and small ships to destroy a large fleet, and several ships are generally sent to hunt and reconnoiter at sea during the operation, and generally attack at night, as long as a submarine discovers the Allied escort fleet, it will send out a radio to find all the submarines that are closer to each other, and launch a surprise attack on the enemy at night.

It is common practice for ships to stealthily pass through gaps or flanks of the opposing convoy when they are spotted, evading their fire barriers, and approaching the target.

During the day, the ships occupy favorable attack positions in all directions, hide under water, and suddenly rise to the surface at night and simultaneously fire torpedoes at the target. Hence the name "wolf pack tactics".

After the German occupation of France, the ports on the west coast of France and the Bay of Biscay were transformed into German submarine bases.

The German submarine production line, which is running at full capacity, has also produced a batch of new submarines and delivered them to the troops.

And the "wolf pack war" entered its most glorious period at this time. As a result, Germany gave birth to three "ace captains" represented by single-boat attack operations: Prien, Schapke, and Chimmer.

The "wolf pack" tactics were invincible for a while. The record for the highest attack by a German submarine was the sinking of 38 Allied merchant ships in two days.

In 1941 alone, German submarines sank 471 Allied ships with a total tonnage of nearly 2.2 million tons. Of these, Britain suffered the most.

In 1942, the German "wolf pack" reached its peak in sinking Allied merchant ships. A total of 1,160 merchant ships were sunk throughout the year, with a total tonnage of 6.3 million tons, while its own loss rate was less than 7%. British Prime Minister Winston Churchill had to admit: "The only thing that disturbed me in World War II was the German U-boats."

In the face of the rampant ravages of the "wolf pack", the Allies also counterattacked in a targeted manner. In January 1943, the Allied heads of government and the members of the Allied Joint Chiefs of Staff decided: first, the Allied forces should improve their radars to prevent German submarines from intercepting signals; secondly, it is necessary to increase the escort of aircraft carriers and ensure the safety of the transport fleet with carrier-based aircraft; The third is to use new technologies and new tactics.

On April 28, Dönitz sent 3 "wolf packs" to prepare to attack the British "ONS-5" fleet, but because the transport fleet was protected by escort aircraft in time, the German submarines could not coordinate their actions and lost the opportunity to attack. Since then, the "wolf pack" has generally been fiercely counterattacked by escort ships and merchant ships with self-defense weapons.

In the whole of 1943, the tonnage of the German "wolf pack" sank only 2.4 million tons of merchant ships, but they themselves lost 245 submarines. In June 1944, the Allies carried out the Normandy landing, and the morale of the German navy plummeted, and the "wolf pack" battle was completely lost.

But even so, modern naval warfare theories still see submarines as a "killer weapon" against behemoths such as aircraft carriers.

However, some advanced theories of modern submarine warfare, such as deep-sea blockade, mobile attack, and joint attack, have been more or less influenced by the idea of "wolf pack tactics."

Therefore, when Ye Xiuwen mentioned the wolf pack tactics, Zhou Wenbin understood, he took the walkie-talkie and ordered the boat to start approaching the hijacked coast guard ship.

"Buzz! Airplanes! .......”

The speedboat maneuvered quickly, and the Asian Flying Tiger and Jack the Ripper on the coast guard ship also noticed the unusual dinghy on the sea at the same time.

"Damn, we've changed routes, how can we still run into them? ......." Jack the Ripper airway.
