Chapter 591: The CN number transport fleet is attacked

On October 26, 1943, in the bitter cold wind, the escort formation led by Colonel Garrouch of the British Royal Navy was turning from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean and slowly moving forward, escorting a light aircraft carrier, 8 destroyers, 3 small frigates, 3 minesweepers and 4 armed trawlers, the destroyer Southampton as the flagship, they escorted the first wave of the CN fleet - a total of 23 transport ships, carrying 150 tanks, 3,000 military vehicles, 110 fighter planes, 50 bombers, 40,000 tons of aluminum ingots, 30,000 tons of armor steel, and about 70,000 tons of various supplies, including canned Spam meat, were to be sent to Algiers to resupply Eisenhower's Anglo-American Allied forces.

However, the transport fleet numbered by CN is a newly formed transport fleet of the US military, so there is no record in history.

"Captain Garuk! We have just received news from the aircraft carrier fleet in the Mediterranean on the front line, and now our aircraft carrier fleet in the Mediterranean is engaged in a war with the German aircraft carrier fleet, and all our transport fleets in the Atlantic, including the Mediterranean, have encountered a surprise attack by the German submarine forces, so they ask us to be on high alert to guard against German attacks! ”

The lieutenant of the Southampton, Michael Lopson, took a telegram and handed it to Captain Garrouch as he said worriedly.

"Hmmm! Then follow their instructions and be on high alert! I wonder what the situation is on the front line now? Only after the defeat in the Battle of Sicily, the entire front of the Western Front is now very restless! I really don't know when we will be able to defeat those German troops! ”

Captain Garrouk took the telegram and flipped through it, sighing.

Because his mother was British, he was half British, but because his parents immigrated to the United States, he became American.

And because he has loved the Navy since he was a child, when he grew up, he also applied for the Navy, joined the US Navy, and became a destroyer captain through his hard work.

"Okay! Captain Garuk! However, we only have one light aircraft carrier to escort us, and I personally feel that our anti-aircraft firepower is not sufficient, so if we encounter a German air attack, I am afraid it will be very troublesome, so should we ask Commander Eisenhower, or Commander Cunningham, to interrogate some shore-based aircraft and aircraft carriers to escort us? ”

Adjutant Michael Lompson suddenly suggested.

"I agree with your suggestion, but I don't know if these masters will send aircraft carriers and planes to support the escort? Because there is a fierce naval battle going on there in the Mediterranean, and we have not yet been attacked by German planes or submarine forces, we ......"

Captain Garuk said unconfidently.

"Let's try our best! Because we are now transporting a lot of military supplies and weapons and equipment, if we really encounter a large-scale attack by the German army, then we will be in great trouble, and these military supplies still have a lot of benefits for reviving Commander Eisenhower's troops, so I think he should pay more attention to it! And it's not an easy thing for us to transport here from the Pacific! ”

Adjutant Michael Lepson replied in a reassuring tone.

"I hope so! May God bless us! ”

Captain Garuk nodded and replied with a prayerful gesture.

"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......"

As soon as the words fell, a series of deafening explosions instantly resounded in the area of Captain Garuk's flagship, and then the two small frigates around them were instantly bombed in two by several Japanese spear torpedoes, and at the same time, 30 Qinglan attack planes soon appeared in the sky above them, bombing.

"Woo woo woo ......"

Not good! It was the submarine forces of the German army, and the attack of the air force! Everyone, fight it! ”

"How could this be, how did our sonar and radar not detect these German submarines and planes in advance!"

"It's jamming waves, which the Germans used to interfere with our radar detection!"

"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......"

In an instant, the entire convoy of CN numbered convoys was in disarray, and all kinds of shouts and operational orders were drowned out in the deafening sound of explosions.

And now the German army is also trying to use deceptive radar jamming, and passive deceptive jamming to interfere with the radar detection and sonar detection of the CN number transport fleet.

As for the methods of these interferences, you can Baidu it yourself, and omit it here.

And at the time when the transport fleet of the CN number was attacked by the German Iran-400 series ocean-going submarine forces, and bombed by Qinglan attack aircraft.

is still under the praise of his own subordinates, full of spirit and complacent; Captain Chicks, who thinks that Lao Tzu is the best in the world, does not know that he is in the aircraft carrier fleet at this moment, and will soon face a large-scale attack by the German army, and become a floating object under the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea to feed the fish.
