"Well, well, this ship is all crazy except me! And I'm on the thief ship, with my head tied to my belt! The navigator whispered as if venting. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Let's get moving, our actions are destined to go down in history!" Captain Lerch encouraged, but what he didn't expect was that he was right! Thought this bold and visionary action (Lerci: Visionary?) I just think it's exciting. The entire Mediterranean has been pried into this!

When night fell, the UB-12 submarine floated in the darkness. The location chosen by the Austrians was very good, they floated near an uninhabited beach, where the reefs and shallow shoals were so dense that ordinary ships would not approach at night, and the submarines had a shallow draft and hydrographic data nearby, so Captain Lerch dared to recharge here.

The vents of the diesel engine were opened, and with the influx of a large amount of air, the diesel generator also began to roar, charging the battery of the submarine, which was not large, with a full load displacement of only 800 tons, a length of only 78 meters, and a width of 7.5 meters. Not big, not small, just for this kind of task, too big, not easy to get into, too small, firepower not enough .......

All the people on the submarine were in the cabins, diving at the slightest hint of the wind, and the long wait was always very uncomfortable, especially under the noses of the French, and at the moment through the periscope, Captain Lerch could even see the lights of Port Castelli. At the moment they are about 6 nautical miles away from the target, and when the battery is charged, the submarine will sail on the surface for half an hour, and then dive and enter the port!

"Check the battleship, if there is nothing wrong, let's go!" When the chief engineer reported that the battery was fully charged, Captain Lerch took a deep breath and said.

The Austrians checked everything they could, the submarine's batteries, electric motors, compressed air cylinders for firing torpedoes, the amount of oxygen inside the submarine, and other mechanical equipment. When the hatch was finally closed, the UB-12 began to dive slowly, initially with the submarine's conning tower exposed, leaving only a periscope to observe the surface when they left the vicinity of the beach.

The Rhine transport ship is heading towards the harbor under the leadership of the pilot ship, since the French have chosen this place as an anchorage, there will naturally be some arrangement, mines, anti-submarine nets and the obstacles posed by the sunken ship constitute an impenetrable line of defense under the surface of the sea, even if the French have a full set of pay-off charts, they still walk on thin ice, and the speed of the ship is limited to about 5 knots. And there are destroyers responsible for pilotage. When a resupply ship had left the passage, the Rhine followed the instructions of the beacon lights and entered the harbor, and to the surprise of the French, a demon hidden in the darkness also mixed in with the shadow of the Rhine ship.

All the Austrians sat quietly in their positions, and the currents kept knocking on the hull of the ship. Captain Lerch carefully watched the Rhine transport ship through the periscope, and then gestured to his teammates with his other hand.

With the destroyer's searchlight constantly sweeping over the sea, the UB-12 submarine did not dare to stick the periscope out of the water, and the so-called observation was actually tracking the wake of the surface ship underwater to determine the direction of navigation. The two propellers of the Rhine sent a long bubble under the water, and with the bursting of the bubbles and the agitation of the seawater, a path that seemed unclear underwater continued. The UB-12 quietly followed the track.

As the minutes ticked by, the deathly silence tested all the personnel present. "Well, what's the situation?" The captain felt the sound of the water hitting the hull of the submarine suddenly become quieter, just now it seemed like a huge faucet was rushing towards the submarine, and now, it seems that the submarine has sailed into a still water?!

"We're in!" After half a ring, Captain Lerch made a thumbs-up gesture to his men!

The surrounding colleagues immediately became excited, their faces mobile and with a hint of joy! This is the first time that a submarine has successfully sailed into a heavily defended port, and they are making history, just now! They accomplished a task that seemed almost impossible to outsiders!

The torpedo chief immediately began to make preparations before the torpedo was launched, the high-pressure compressed air cylinder had been connected to the torpedo tube, the torpedo fuse had been opened, and as long as the wrench was pulled, the high-pressure air could shoot out the G7 torpedo more than 7 meters long! 195KG of explosives is enough for any battleship to eat and walk around!

At this time, Captain Lerch adjusted the periscope slightly upward, and the matte lens quickly scanned the surrounding circle, but for the first time, he did not find a suitable target, but according to the brightness outside, as Captain Lerch at this moment, commanded the submarine to sail towards the dim light. Look at the watch, it's only 3 a.m., and they have plenty of time to choose their prey and hunt it!

At this moment, four of the most elite battleships of the French Navy are moored on the sea, and the three best berths from east to west are the Brestani, Lorraine, Provence and Normandy. THIS CLASS OF BATTLESHIPS IS SIMILAR TO THE HISTORICAL SHIP OF THE SAME NAME, EQUIPPED WITH 10 340MM GUNS, WHICH CAN SHOOT 555KG SHELLS AT AN INITIAL VELOCITY OF 800 METERS, AND THANKS TO THE SUPERIOR MECHANICAL SERVO OF THE FRENCH, THIS BATTLESHIP HAS A RATE OF FIRE OF 2 ROUNDS PER MINUTE! AT THE SAME TIME, THERE ARE 22 138.6MM SECONDARY GUNS ON THE SIDE CHORD, ALTHOUGH THE POWER AGAINST LIGHT CRUISERS IS SLIGHTLY INSUFFICIENT, BUT FORTUNATELY, THERE ARE ENOUGH OF THEM.

THE DEFENSE OF THE BRESTANI-CLASS BATTLESHIPS IS ALSO VERY DISTINCTIVE, THE VERTICAL ARMOR BELT OF THE SIDE CHORD 270MM IS ACTUALLY NOT THICK, BUT IN ADDITION TO THE OUTER ARMOR, THE FRENCH DOME ARMOR IS RELATIVELY THICK, THE THICKNESS OF THE INCLINED PART REACHES 70MM, AND IT HAS A CERTAIN DEFENSIVE POWER, ON THE WHOLE, IT IS NOT WORSE THAN THE DUKE OF THE BRITISH, BECAUSE THE THICKNESS OF THE LATTER'S DOME ARMOR IS RELATIVELY THIN, IF THE SIDE CHORD ARMOR IS PENETRATED, EVEN IF THE SHELL IS BROKEN, THE INCLINED DOME ARMOR LESS THAN 2 INCHES BEHIND CANNOT EVEN WITHSTAND THE FRAGMENTS, There is not much difference between having and not having it. (Historically, the Iron Duke had thickened the dome and other defenses after the war, adding as much as 820 tons of armor to its weight!) ）

However, compared to the reasonably good armor belt defense, Brestani's underwater defense can be described as bad, not to mention the depth and width of the underwater defense, and even the armored next door is very brittle. Torpedo defense coffee table, underwater bomb can be lethal with one shot. (The historical Hood laughs but doesn't say anything)
