Historically, Germany was disappointed in Raeder because of the failure of the surface forces, so he pinned his hopes on submarine forces, trying to get Britain to surrender by blocking Britain's sea transportation lines. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

And now, the situation is different, the German surface fleet, constantly showing their strength, first weakening Britain to the same level as its own, and then completely demoralizing the British navy in today's naval battle.

At the same time, Germany did not abandon the development of submarine forces.

Now, there is no need to compete for resources, and the last batch of Spanish gold intercepted is enough for Germany to consume in the past few years. Therefore, Germany is catching up and overtaking in all aspects, and in terms of submarines, it is also constantly building.

Now, Germany's Type VIIB submarines have developed to Type VIIC submarines, and the number of submarines built in two types has exceeded 80 units, and this kind of submarine is specially designed for the Atlantic, and the number of subsequent submarines will exceed 200.

Now, there are more than a dozen ships patrolling nearby, and they are all rushing to this side.

Whoever rushes to the battlefield first will have meat to eat!

In terms of size, wolves are not very large, not as big as tigers and leopards.

However, "tigers are afraid of wolves". Tigers are solitary animals, while wolves live in groups. Bloodthirsty wolves make all the behemoths of nature shudder. Under their siege in turn, even the king of beasts could not be spared.

Genghis Khan back then realized the truth of leading troops to fight from the wolves.

The wolf pack tactic of submarines is to use multiple submarines to form small detachments and launch underwater attacks on enemy warships and transport ships in turn like wolf packs.

A single submarine cannot effectively attack the opponent's sea surface targets, but it can concentrate the forces of several submarines to attack a sea target and destroy heavy ships with the attack power of several submarines.

At the beginning of World War II, the German Navy used the "wolf pack tactic" to organize groups of submarines to attack the sea ships of the Allied countries, disrupting the sea transportation lines of the Allied countries, and causing the Allied forces to suffer heavy losses.

Later, the failure of the wolf pack tactics also proved a truth, it is unwise to completely rely on submarines for the navy, and the struggle for sea power must ultimately be achieved by surface ships.

Submarines are an important part of naval weapons, but they are not the ultimate pillars.

On the U-90 submarine, the captain, Captain Kleischmer, stared coldly at his periscope. In later generations, he was also one of the ace captains, and now, he is lucky.

His submarine was the second to follow Prien's U-47 to the battlefield, and after carefully observing the situation on the battlefield, he started his horsepower and seized the position, and finally, the huge battleship Barham, came to his attack range.

"Bow of the boat, four torpedoes, one second apart, fire!" He turned to his sailors and gave the order to attack.

Unlike Prien, due to experience limitations, for insurance purposes, he did not carry the high-powered T11 hydrogen peroxide torpedo, but only an ordinary electric torpedo.

Even so, he had to aim at the opponent's battleship, not once and twice, twice and three times, even if he had all 14 of his torpedoes, he would attack the opponent's battleship!

Four torpedoes, one after another, flew towards the opposite Balham, at a speed of 30 knots.

At this time, the Barham had been hit by the Bismarck, and the upper part of the warship was emitting smoke, and a group of sailors were rescuing and controlling the damage.

"Boom!" When the explosion sounded at the bottom of it, no one noticed, they thought they had been hit by the ship's guns again, and under the continuous firing, everyone's ears were buzzed, and they lost their basic ability to judge the direction, and they didn't judge that the explosion occurred at the bottom of the ship.

"Boom, boom!" Then there were two more explosions, one second apart.

Four torpedoes, three shots, in battle, this is quite a remarkable achievement!

After three explosions, the bottom of the Barham was blown open three large openings, and the seawater quickly poured into the bottom, and the loss of the watertight compartment was too much, and it did not have time to carry out more rescue, and began to sink quickly into the sea!

The battleships built in the era of the First World War paid considerable attention to the protection of the water surface, but the protection against torpedoes was the worst, because the hit rate of torpedoes in the era of the First World War was quite low and there was almost no need to think about it.

But now, whoever neglects underwater protection will pay a terrible price! In World War II, almost all old ships built by Britain during World War I would enter the shipyard and thicken their underwater parts to prevent torpedo attacks.

And the current British Navy does not have the opportunity to do this at all, their existing warships are not enough, where will they go to the shipyard for refitting?

The speed at which the Barham entered the water was quite fast, and in just a few minutes, the entire hull sank into the sea, followed by the superstructure, and in ten minutes, on the water, only a huge whirlpool was left.

The Nelson, which was not much better than the Barham, suffered five torpedoes, and the inclination of its hull had exceeded twenty degrees, and it had completely lost its combat effectiveness, and now it was completely hopeless.

The capital ship, there is only one Sovereign left, this warship and the Royal Oak belong to the same revenge class, is the follow-up warship of the Queen Elizabeth class, and is also an old ship of the First World War, although the displacement is more than 30,000 tons, but the actual combat effectiveness is limited.

Now, the main warship, there is only this one left, and the captain of the ship, Colonel Fisher, is extremely angry in his heart.

He knew that today's war meant the complete decline of the British Navy, and if there was no blood transfusion from the United States, the British Navy would probably become a nearshore navy from now on, and would no longer be able to challenge Germany's maritime supremacy.

As an officer of the British Navy, he was very sad and indignant in his heart, and it was precisely because of his grief and indignation that he made the decision to continue fighting.

Now the battle was completely against the British fleet, and it was the retreat that was important, but what was the use of his battleship, protecting several cruisers, and the destroyers retreating?

Perhaps, in the retreat, you will still be killed, and instead of running away, it is better to fight with dignity!

"Target, Bismarck, fire!" He continued to give the order to fight, and now, the Bismarck was wounded and smoking, and if he could sink the Bismarck before it was sunk, it would be worth it!

The pride of the Royal Navy gave him the courage to fight in the area and never stop fighting!

In the sky overhead, Stuka's howling was heard again.
