When Chen Dao was writing in the diary of a bandit, he was on the sea 200 nautical miles southwest of Bergen.

Under the protection of an escort fleet led by the Royal Navy battleship HMS Rodney, the merchant ships HMS Edinburgh and HMS Tuna were sailing at a rapid pace.

In the first class cabin of the Edinburgh, Montgomery and Colonel Hall had dinner and were chatting in the recreation room.

"It's already dark, the Germans won't be coming, and we can go home with peace of mind." Montgomery said

"The weather saved the rookie, and if the bad weather lasts for a few more days, we can use the Norwegian terrain to teach him another lesson." Colonel Hall said unwillingly.

"God blessed us with several days of bad weather that kept the Luftwaffe out of sorties and guaranteed that we could retreat safely, and we should have been content. As for the German rookie, it can only be said that he was lucky. Montgomery smiled and agreed with Colonel Hall.

"Where will we be sent when we return home? France? Colonel Hall asked.

"France, of course, where else can we go but France?" Montgomery said with a shrug.

"We left France at the beginning of April and landed in Norway on April 10. On April 25th, tomorrow morning, we will arrive in England and then back to France. It's just half a month, what are we tossing in this half month? Armed parade in Norway? Colonel Hall said dissatisfied.

"No, we can treat it as a sightseeing operation, and by the way, exercise our combat ability to rush to the beach and land. We owe thanks to our dear Mr. Churchill, who I have heard that it was he who single-handedly planned and promoted the British and French plans for war in Norway. He didn't force us to fight to the end in Norway and then surrender honorably like the French 7th Infantry Division, and I am already content. Montgomery teased.

"yes, we can't be too greedy." Hall listened to Montgomery talk about Churchill and snorted coldly in agreement with Montgomery's statement.

Montgomery covered his mouth and yawned, and Hall, knowing that Montgomery was accustomed to falling asleep soon after dinner, took his leave, and the two went back to their cabins to rest.

Montgomery washed up in the cabin and prepared to go to bed, unaware that a ferocious sea wolf was staring at his fleet with green eyes.

At a depth of 10 meters, Captain Prijn, the captain of the U-47 submarine of the German Navy, lay in front of the periscope and peeked energetically at the dark shadows on the sea in the distance.

By this time, it was already dark, and with the help of the stars in the sky, Prion could only distinguish their species by the outline and size of the British ships.

There were at least four destroyers on the surface of the sea, and Prian observed for a few minutes and concluded that once his own submarine exposed the target, the consequences were quite serious.

But Captain Prion was itching at the sight of the three huge figures in the fleet, and those three huge figures were probably troop carriers or battleships. No matter what kind of ship type, it exudes a huge ** force.

Dry? Or don't do it? That's a problem.

After a moment's hesitation, Captain Prion couldn't help but touch the Iron Cross of the First Class on his left chest.

The Kirk Strait is one of the seven inlets to the Scapa military port on the British mainland, and the channel is narrow and varied, with unusually turbulent currents and huge and steep rocks underneath. Not only that, but the Royal Navy also scuttled three old ships in the strait, setting up an artificial barrier for the strait, just in case.

However, all the difficulties and dangers could not stop Captain Prien's U-47 submarine.

On October 13, 1939, Captain Prian commanded his submarine U-47, which successfully crossed Kirk Strait after a night of terrific covert stealth, and entered Scapa Bay on October 14.

After two rounds of salvos, Prien fired a total of 6 torpedoes and successfully sank the battleship HMS Royal Oak, which killed more than 800 crew members, including the captain, before they could escape.

Prien then commanded the U-47 submarine to evade the Royal Navy destroyers, successfully crossed the Kirk Strait again, and returned to Wilhelmshaven, Germany, on 17 October.

Touching the medal on his chest, Prien recalled his landing in Wilhelmshaven in the early morning of October 17 last year.

On the pier, a military band played a triumphal song. Field Marshal Raeder and General Dönitz personally greeted him on his return, and Marshal Raeder personally awarded him an Iron Cross of the 1st class, and all crew members were awarded the Iron Cross of the 2nd class.

Merit does not fall from the sky, but can only be earned by oneself at great risk.

Thinking of this, Captain Prion made up his mind to attack this British fleet.

Turning the periscope, Prien quickly locked onto the target. A few minutes later, with the cooperation of various departments, Prion successfully measured the course, speed and distance of the target, and the weapons officer on the ship calculated the various parameters of the torpedo when it was fired, and the combat order was immediately issued to the torpedo compartment.

Hearing the reply "ready" from the torpedo compartment, Prion did not hesitate to give the order to open fire.

Three steam torpedoes drilled out of the launch tubes and dragged three long wakes across the sea to pounce on the British fleet.

As soon as the torpedo was fired, the U-47 submarine urgently dived 100 meters below the water to take cover, relying only on the listener's earpiece to monitor the movement on the surface.

It didn't take long for the listener's eyes to light up, and he immediately made a few gestures to Prienbi, signaling that a torpedo had hit.

Prion shook his fist hard, then remained silent as he led his men and the British destroyer to continue playing hide and seek.

In contrast to Captain Prien's excited expression, Colonel Montgomery and Colonel Hall rushed out of the hatch and ran outside to check where the explosion was coming from.

No sooner had they stepped onto the deck of the Edinburgh than they saw a hellish scene.

The merchant ship Tuna was on fire, and the bow of the ship was already cocked at a forty-degree angle, slowly sinking towards the sea.

In the dazzling firelight, the two of them could even see countless mosquito-sized black dots jumping into the water one after another, many of which were still carrying bright flames.

"The Seventh Artillery Regiment, and the Thirty-third Artillery Regiment, they're finished." Montgomery's eyes instantly moistened.

"Hurry up and save people." Colonel Hall shouted hoarsely.

At Colonel Hall's shouts, the ships of the escort fleet rushed to the Tuna to rescue the overboard crew.

Before they could get close to the Tuna, the Tuna exploded in a series of explosions on its hull, plunging headlong into the water and being swallowed up by the sea.

Countless overboard crews and artillerymen were swept into the great whirlpool, struggling and wailing to sink to the icy bottom of the sea.

・・・・・・

At 8 a.m. on April 25, after nearly ten hours of lurking underwater, the U-47 submarine burst out of the water like a deep-sea monster.

Prion grabbed the escalator and ran to the command platform, and the crew scrambled to climb out of the submarine and lay on the deck, greedily breathing in the salty air mixed with seawater.

The diesel engine was activated, pumping fresh, cold air into the submarine and replacing the dirty air in the various compartments.

After discovering that the Tuna had been attacked, the British destroyers reacted quickly and searched for the German submarine in the nearby waters, tossing and turning all night to no avail.

As the sky grew brighter, the destroyers received the order to retreat, dropped a bunch of depth charges in anger and left.

When the crew had rested enough, Prion gave the order to continue the combat patrol.

At about the same time as Captain Prien, Chen Dao ordered the officers and men of the Field Investigation Corps to start loading their vehicles in the port of Bergen and preparing to return home.

Chen Dao pondered in his heart: it will take at least one day and one night to take the train from the port of Bergen back to Oslo; When you get to Oslo to unload the truck and load the ship and then go to Hamburg, it will take at least one day and one night; After disembarking in Hamburg, it would take you a whole day to take the train to your new station on the Western Route. The final arrival at the Western Front station was supposed to be around April 28, and this was on the premise that all went well. If there is a delay in between, it may be later, so let's just think of it as arriving at the station on May 1. The French campaign was launched on May 10, and he still had enough time to run in his troops and impart experience.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, after saying goodbye to Peterson and Liszt, who had come to see them off, Chen Dao's train slowly drove out of Bergen.

Three days later, twenty kilometers south of Longheim, in the city of Strom. Chen Dao angrily stepped off the train and said to Major Schumacher: "Order the troops to get off the train immediately, and we will go to Trondheim to kill the British troops there." Tell them to speed up if they want to get home early. ”

Major Schumacher knew that Chen Dao was angry, so he didn't say much, and hurriedly ordered the troops to unload the car.

Chen Dao looked in the direction of Trondheim in the north, and thought angrily: Lao Tzu can't move Falkenhorst, can't he move you? Wait, British, you will pay the blood debt of the 3rd Infantry Division in the town of Voth.

Five days earlier, the commander of Germany's Norwegian Dispatch Army, Admiral Falkenhorst, had received a report of the Battle of Stavanger.

After seeing the report, Admiral Falkenhorst said in his heart that if it weren't for this report, he would have almost lost his eyes. Where did this investigation team of the Air Force come to conduct investigations, it is clear that it is here to test the performance of new weapons, and they are also some powerful weapons that even the army does not have.

Had it not been for the mention of those powerful weapons in the report handed over by the Waffen-SS, he would have almost missed them.

After some investigation, Falkenhorst learned that the field mission had just departed from Bergen and was about to return home via Oslo.

In the spirit of making the best use of things and wasting shamefully, Admiral Falkenhorst immediately made the decision to intercept the field investigation team and let them divert to Trondheim, breaking the deadlock encountered by the 3rd Mountain Division in Trondheim, and allowing them to exert a little residual heat before returning home.

In this way, Chen Dao's train made a U-turn at Hönefors, a transport hub in the northwest of Oslo, and headed straight for Trondheim.

was robbed halfway, how could Chen Dao be happy. After thinking about it for the time being, he couldn't come up with any way to deal with Falkenhorst, so Chen Dao had to vent his anger on the British army in Trondheim.
