Chapter 404: The attack of the I-400 class super submarine group begins
"Dive quickly to a depth of 230 meters! There is an enemy aircraft carrier fleet in the southeast! ”
"First mate! Torpedo tubes 1 to 5, each in place, ready to attack! ”
"Azimuth 530, no trace of enemy aircraft!"
"Torpedo tubes! All in place, all successfully equipped, ready to enter combat at any time! Sir! ”
"The submarine group is advancing at a maximum speed of 6.5 knots underwater, approaching the enemy aircraft carrier group!"
As soon as the US aircraft carrier fleet was discovered, all the submarines of the I-400 class series received combat orders from their commanders, and reported and issued reports one after another.
With the issuance of these orders, the two torpedo compartments in the bow of each submarine of the I-400 class submarine group were equipped with four 21-inch torpedo tubes in each compartment, with a total of 20 mines.
One by one, the torpedoes were ready to be fired with precision.
As for the 35-foot-long, 40-foot wingspan, 654-mile range, and 1,800-pound payload of the "Sunny Land" water fight/bomber, they were also quickly refueled with fuel tanks and bombs, waiting for combat orders, ready to strike.
While the first batch of IL-400-class super submarine groups were busy attacking the US aircraft carrier group, the second and third groups were deploying mine arrays in other directions, and the IL-400-class submarine groups in the distance were deploying mine arrays on the route of the US aircraft carrier group's advance.
The mines they deployed were the Shen-1 mine, the 01-Anchor 2-trigger mine, and the M70 sunken mine that Chen Yanlong exchanged for with his mobile phone.
However, the 01-Anchor II trigger mine and the M70 sunken mine were deployed by them in the vicinity of the harbor where the US aircraft carrier fleet had not yet left the British port.
The purpose is to use it to block the ports and sea lanes of the US warships, as for the effect is good, it is not known for the time being.
Moreover, they have not yet deployed many mines in British ports, because the patrols of British and American ships and aircraft are also very intensive, so that the German submarine forces have little chance to attack.
Moreover, when the German submarine forces found the location of those US aircraft carrier groups, the other side had already left the port and headed for Sicily.
"Ships ready, launch!"
"Launch!"
When all the preparations for the eve of the battle were completed, the commander of the German Il-400 class submarine group left loudly and radioed orders.
As soon as the ships received the order, they immediately issued the same combat order.
After a series of combat orders were issued, one torpedo after another attacked the US aircraft carrier group at the fastest speed.
Under the attack of more than 200 torpedoes at the same time, the US aircraft carrier fleet was successfully attacked in an instant.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
"Boom! Thundered! Rumble ......"
After a while, the entire US aircraft carrier fleet continued to resound with loud explosions, shocking all US soldiers and officers.
"Not good! It's an enemy attack! It's the enemy's submarine forces attacking! ”
"Take off and strike back! Fast! ”
"Drop your depth charges and attack! Come on! ”
"Not good! There are a lot of enemy submarine groups, and under the monitoring of our radar, there are more than a hundred! ”
"What! Oh my God! How did so many German submarine groups suddenly pop up here! ”
"Don't panic! Hurry up and fight calmly! Are these German submarine models those U-boats that you usually encounter? ”
"It doesn't seem like so, they're larger than U-boats, and they seem to be faster!"
"Oh no! These submarines are releasing their planes, ready to attack us! ”
"Oh my God! How come these submarines even have airplanes! Could it be the new submarine group of the German army? ”
"It's supposed to be the latest submarine group of the German army, but I don't seem to have heard of so many new submarines in the German army! What the hell is going on! ”
"Who knows! Looks like we're in big trouble this time! ”
When the U.S. aircraft carrier group was attacked by the German Iraq-400 class submarine group, many U.S. officers shouted in panic.
But in the midst of their increasingly frightened shouts, the German I-400 class submarine group continued to fire torpedoes desperately, and also let all the "Qinglan" water combat/bombers attack together.
In addition, in the waters around this group of US aircraft carrier fleets, there are two groups of more than 100 IL-400-class submarines, which are rapidly surrounding them, preparing to encircle them.
