Chapter 1342: Flashbang

Germany is not only building large warships of tens of thousands of tons, but also ordinary destroyers, and now Germany's main destroyers are still transitioning from Plan Z.

Historically, this program began in 1934, and now, since Hitler came to power, the German Navy has begun a shipbuilding program for new destroyers, and in 36 years, the first batch of 16 new destroyers 16 were put into service, and their improved versions have also begun to work.

By now, the German Navy has 48 Z-type destroyers in service, which is quite a large number, and they are the main support vessels accompanying the fleet.

With a displacement of more than 3,000 tons, this destroyer has balanced anti-aircraft and anti-submarine capabilities and is used to escort the fleet.

At the same time, in terms of frigates, the German Navy did not have much planning, and after the war with Britain ended, it directly took the Jianghe-class frigates of the British Navy.

This kind of frigate in history, one of the main escort ships of the allies during World War II, although its armament is relatively simple, but the cost is low, the practicability is strong, and the mechanical power performance is outstanding, it can perform long-range escort missions, and it became one of the main escort ships of the allies in the later stage of the Atlantic War, and it is also a frigate in the real sense.

The main role of this frigate in history was to escort the British fleet and fight German submarines in the Atlantic, sinking about 30 German submarines in history and losing eight of them.

When Britain succumbed, although Edward VIII, who was effectively loyal to Germany, continued to rule LinkedIn, but after all, this was once an empire on which the sun never sets, and Ciric was very vigilant about them, and Germany could tolerate the Visy France navy, but it must not watch Britain regain strength, so the main equipment of the British navy was received by Germany.

It was as if at the end of World War I, all the warships of the German Navy were taken by the British.

This time, along with the formation, there were such river-class frigates, and of course almost all the crew members were German sailors now.

On the Z18 destroyer, the Hans-Lüdmann, the captain Linde stood on his bridge, looking at the sea in the distance, everywhere was so dark that he couldn't see anything clearly.

"Our radar can search for faint echoes on the surface of the sea, about three nautical miles in front of us, and our sonar can also hear the sound of the engines of the opposing submarines." Beside him, the adjutant reported to him.

At this time, these four warships entered the anti-submarine formation, the speed was very slow, only about five knots, and it was also very dangerous to fight against the opponent's submarine in the dark, and if you were not careful, you might be attacked by the opponent's submarine in advance.

The German Navy was confident that their advantage lay in their own technology.

The latest radar, which can detect the echo of the periscope, and the sonar of the bow of the ship, which can also hear the sound of the water, is now the target is there, waiting for its own side.

It's just that the current technology is still very primitive after all, and if it comes to the Cold War period, the sonar can accurately determine the bearing, and now you can hit torpedoes.

Their antisubmarine weapons are almost always based on anti-submarine deep bombs, and now their four surface warships are lined up in a horizontal line, hoping to pull the net and scatter deep bombs.

It's just that before the spread, there are new methods!

"Attention, flashbangs, one minute apart, fire for me!"

Hearing his order, a 40mm Bofors anti-aircraft gun in the stern of the ship was stuffed with five rounds of shells, and then, with the muzzle almost pointed at the sky overhead, opened fire.

"Boom!"

The shell flew out of the muzzle, with a blazing flame, into the sky, and after flying upwards for several hundred meters, the warhead suddenly exploded.

A bright light that instantly illuminates the entire sea.

If the light emitted by a 40 mm flare, it can reach a brightness of 40 to 500,000 candles, a duration of 25 to 35 seconds, and can illuminate a target within a radius of 1 kilometer.

The current flashbangs, similar to the structure of flares, are in a quick-burning mode, that is, as long as one point, all the lighting agents burn in an instant, and the entire night sky becomes as bright as day.

Four battleships, all thoroughly illuminated, however, no one could see clearly.

"My eyes!" On the M-98 submarine, the captain Bristov suddenly screamed and covered his eyes in pain.

In the dark, the pupils of the human eye will dilate, allowing more light to come in, so that everything can be seen clearly in the dark, and now, suddenly, a strong light appeared, and a large number of photons shone into Bristov's eyes, which instantly made him feel that there were white flowers in front of him, and he couldn't see anything clearly!

It's so damnable, these Germans!

When he found out that the opponent's large army was turning, Bristov felt that something was wrong, could the other side be able to spot his own side from a long distance? So what's the point of your own sneak attack?

The other party turned away at high speed, and Bristov's submarine couldn't catch up even if it started a diesel engine on the sea, so he could only give up the chase and watch as several destroyers appeared in the opponent's fleet to meet him.

At this time, he relaxed instead, since the other party came with a few warships, he took advantage of the darkness to kill him!

Even if he was exposed, creating an opportunity for his brother submarine, he would have to sink the battleship of the Germans.

Who would have thought that just as the two sides were gradually approaching, just as Bristov was planning to maneuver to occupy the position, a bright light suddenly appeared.

The sea was white everywhere, and his eyes were also white, and at this moment, he thought he was going blind.

After slowing down for more than thirty seconds, he finally recovered, and with concerned eyes in front of him, he stood up again and said to the people around him: "Go back to your post, we are about to start attacking." ”

He carefully attached his eyes to the periscope and continued to observe each other, and in the night, the silhouette of the other party gradually increased, and the distance between the two sides was still getting closer.

It seems that the other party knows that he is in this sea area, but he doesn't know the specific location, he only has one chance, and now it's time to maneuver and occupy a place!

Just as he was observing and thinking about his next move, there was suddenly another bright light on the sea!

Damn, what's wrong with it again!

It was a white light, now a red light, and when this red light appeared, Bristov fell back again, covering his eyes in pain, his head hit somewhere, it hurt, and a stream of liquid came out of it.

He has realized something, the Germans are playing with themselves!
