Although, submarines are called underwater killers. However, after the invention of sonar and other equipment specially designed to deal with submarines, the concealment and safety of submarines have been greatly reduced. Most of the previous anti-submarine warfare was based on experience. The current sonar can accurately find out the location of the submarine and guide the battleship to attack. Therefore, if submarines cannot make progress in noise reduction, their combat power will be greatly restricted.

Aren't the submarines of later generations constantly making efforts to reduce noise?

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The dull sound of explosions continued to sound below the surface of the sea, and the American submarines hiding under the water were like small boats in a storm. The shock wave after the explosion of the depth charge, enveloping the seawater, squeezed the submarine. If the hull can't hold on, then the boat will only be wrecked.

"Oh God! What's going on? The depth charges of the Germans, almost after us exploded! "Inside an American submarine, the captain's face turned pale. Although, he had long expected that this mission would be very risky. But he did not expect that they would be about to be killed before the main forces of the German fleet arrived.

"Sir, the Germans don't have the weapons to detect submarines underwater. Otherwise, how could their depth charges be dropped so accurately? We've been hiding underwater, and we've not been able to make our heads. The co-captain said.

"Crunch, crunch!"

The submarine's pressure-resistant shell kept making noises, as if it was about to run out of steam. You know, once the pressure hull is penetrated, the submarine will become an iron coffin, burying all of them in it.

"Oh God! I don't want to die, I don't want to be buried at the bottom of the sea! "A submariner was on the verge of crying.

However, their prayers were useless.

A depth charge exploded less than five meters directly above the submarine. The huge power directly blew up the pressure hull of the submarine. Seawater suddenly poured into the submarine, causing the submarine to sink rapidly.

The American submariners inside the submarine yelled in terror. However, this is simply useless. Together with the submarine, they will sink to the bottom of the sea.

The anti-submarine forces of the German Navy, which dealt a devastating blow to the submarine forces deployed by the US Navy off the Chesapeake Bay. One American submarine after another was sunk. In less than an hour, the area was almost completely cleared. Almost all of those American submarines were sunk before they escaped.

These submarines deployed by the US Navy did not pose any threat to the German fleet at all.

By the time the main forces of the German fleet arrived, there was no longer a need to worry about the threat of submarines.

"General, the anti-submarine forces have cleaned up this sea area. There are already 24 results that can be confirmed. "Richter? Lieutenant General Phils reported.

Admiral Hipper's face showed a hint of a smile, and he looked very satisfied.

"Very well, but, tell the anti-submarine forces that you can't take it lightly. After we enter the Chesapeake Bay, we have to continue to monitor the nearby waters, and we must not allow the Americans to take advantage of the loopholes. Admiral Hippel said.

"Yes, General." Richter? Lieutenant General Phils nodded solemnly.

He also knows that for the fleet, this time anti-submarine will be a top priority. Although, the main ships of the German Navy were thick-skinned and thick-skinned, and an easy attack would not cause them fatal damage. However, if the steering gear or propeller at the tail of the battleship is blown up, the consequences can be serious. Therefore, eliminating these crises as much as possible is undoubtedly the best outcome.

"Enter the Chesapeake Bay and prepare for another attack from the Americans!" Admiral Hipper gave the order.

"Yes, General."

After the order was given, the German fleet began to sail into the Chesapeake Bay. Destroyers and light cruisers were the first to enter, preparing to give priority to destroying the light cruisers and destroyers of the US Navy lying in ambush, so that their own capital ships could be protected from lightning strikes by the Americans.

The capital ships, under the protection of light cruisers and destroyers, sailed in last. At the same time, priority was given to the use of artillery fire against those cruisers and destroyers of the Americans, first to deal with them, and then to shell the Chesapeake Bay.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Fierce battles ensued in the bay, and the light cruisers and destroyers of the U.S. Navy charged the German fleet. They hoped to be able to rush to the sea less than two kilometers from the capital ships of the German fleet, launch a lightning strike, and sink the capital ships of the German Navy with heavy torpedoes.

It's just that their charge didn't go well from the start. The light cruisers and destroyers of the German Navy, held them back. At the same time, they had to face sharp artillery fire from the capital ships of the German Navy. Those 410 mm guns or 380 mm guns can scrap a destroyer with one shot, and even if a light cruiser is hit, it will be severely damaged.

The shells continued to explode on the surface of the sea, splashing columns of water into the sky.

The light cruisers and destroyers of the U.S. Navy, like valiant knights, braved a hail of bullets and rushed to the capital ships of the German Navy.

"Boom!"

A destroyer of the US Navy was hit by a 410-mm shell. The entire bow of the ship was destroyed in the explosion, and it looked like it had been bitten by a monster.

"Knock knock!"

A light cruiser of the US Navy, which was attacked by two destroyers of the German Navy. Although, it was difficult for the destroyer's main guns to sink the light cruiser, not to mention those secondary guns of a smaller caliber.

However, the superstructure of the light cruiser was smashed and a raging fire broke out.

"Speed up, ventilate the boiler under pressure, and increase the speed!" The captain of an American destroyer ordered.

"But sir, the boiler will soon be scrapped."

"If we hadn't picked things up, we would have been sunk by the Germans. Instead of being sunk, it is better to let the boiler be scrapped! The captain commanded viciously.

The destroyer rushed towards one of the capital ships of the German Navy like an arrow from a string. However, their luck doesn't seem to be so good. The oncoming dense secondary artillery shells hit the destroyer with all kinds of holes. Because it withstood too many attacks, the destroyer quickly sank.

I have to admit that the US Navy performed very bravely in this battle. But alas, their bravery did not bring them victory, but allowed them to continue to pay a heavy price.
