Dönitz's purpose now is not to start an immediate war with the aircraft carrier group, but to delay the escape of the Li Mo aircraft carrier group. Li Mo's little trick to lure his father-in-law into being fooled failed, of course, he also failed, since his father-in-law was not fooled, and the submarine he commanded was not exposed, Li Mo really had no way to take his father-in-law at this time. He could only send his own carrier-based aircraft to search for Marshal Raeder's main fleet, and as Li Mo expected, Raeder's main fleet was three hundred nautical miles away from Li Mo's aircraft carrier formation, and was pursuing at full speed at this time.

Now Li Mo fell into deep thought, how to deal with his father-in-law's helpless tactics, Li Mo knew that his father-in-law was waiting, the more than thirty submarines he commanded were like wolves lurking at the bottom of the sea, and if he was not careful, he would be torn apart by his wolf pack, especially when Raeder's main fleet was in pursuit, you must know that Raeder's main fleet was not dragged down by submarines at this time, and the speed of surface navigation reached thirty knots, while the speed of Li Mo's aircraft carrier formation was only about ten knots, a distance of three hundred nautical miles, It only takes a day for Raeder's main fleet to catch up with Limer's carrier formation, and then Raeder will attack from under and on the surface of the water, exhausting himself from coping.

How to make the enemy's submarine and surface ships attack separately has become Li Mo's biggest headache, if Li Mo really has no way, he can also break his arm to survive, drop the submarine, and run away immediately with the surface ships of the aircraft carrier formation, but it is equivalent to making the aircraft carrier formation lose half of the anti-submarine means, this method cannot be used unless it is absolutely necessary, you must know that the use of submarines against submarines has a very good effect.

After thinking about it, Li Mo decided to use the drag tactic, his father-in-law's submarine did not show the surface, they were still dozens of nautical miles behind his ass, and the underwater speed of the submarine was only below 9 knots, and it was very easy for Li Mo to widen the distance between him and the submarine.

Li Mo, who already had a strategy in mind, hurriedly ordered all his submarine formations to surface and follow the rear formation to evacuate on the surface, so that the entire aircraft carrier formation could evacuate at a speed of almost seventeen knots, while Dönitz's submarine could only pursue at a speed of nine knots because it did not dare to show the surface, and it was impossible to catch up with Li Mo's aircraft carrier formation at such a speed.

Li Mo is dragging time, dragging Dönitz's submarine to the surface to charge, at this time the submarine can not stay underwater for a long time, must surface every once in a while to recharge, and when Dönitz's submarine surfaces, Li Mo's opportunity will come.

After giving the order, Li Mo walked to the lookout of the Zeppelin aircraft carrier, and saw that the planes on the Zeppelin aircraft carrier were neatly arranged, and some ground crew members were shuttling next to the carrier-based aircraft, some were checking, some were refueling, and some were hanging bombs. In the sky above the entire aircraft carrier formation, at least more than 10 planes are searching at ultra-low altitudes, and four helicopters are also cruising around the aircraft carrier non-stop, and the lookout posts above the helicopters are holding binoculars and carefully searching every sea surface.

Don't think that this method is useless, but the use is great, the transparency of the sea water is relatively high, use a telescope to look down at the sea surface from the air, you can see more than ten meters deep, for a big guy like a submarine, it can be clearly seen, and the submarine wants to launch a torpedo, the distance from the sea surface can not exceed ten meters, otherwise this torpedo will pass from the bottom of the ship to be attacked, such an attack is a waste of torpedoes, the torpedoes carried by submarines are very limited, can not be fired casually.

Even if Dönitz's submarine catches up with Li Mo's aircraft carrier formation, will he dare to attack Li Mo's aircraft carrier formation in broad daylight? It was purely an act of seeking death, and Li Mo arranged a total of four anti-submarine defense lines for his Zeppelin aircraft carrier, the first was a JU87 dive bomber 30 nautical miles away, the second was a submarine anti-submarine defense line of 30 nautical miles to 10 nautical miles, the third was a helicopter anti-submarine defense line, and the fourth was a destroyer anti-submarine defense line within 5 nautical miles.

With such a tight anti-submarine defense line, as long as Dönitz's submarine dares to come forward, it will be directly smashed by the gopher, of course, Dönitz's cautious character also determines that he will not choose to attack Li Mo's formation in broad daylight.

Even if he wanted to attack, he had no chance, because Li Mo's aircraft carrier formation suddenly accelerated, advancing rapidly at a speed of twenty-seven knots per hour. Why can Li Mo's aircraft carrier formation be so fast! You must know that the maximum surface speed of Li Mo's submarine is only 18 knots, so why Li Mo's entire formation ran at such a speed, it was because Stephen came up with an idea to drag the surfacing submarine behind the destroyer with a steel cable, and the destroyer with a speed of 32 knots drove the surfacing submarine at full horsepower, and the submarine itself was also at full power, so the speed of the destroyer towing the submarine was reduced by five knots. (The U2 submarine has a displacement of just over 300 tons, which is not a big problem at all for a destroyer towing it.) ）

Dönitz, who had been monitoring the movements of Limer's formation, found that Limer's aircraft carrier formation was suddenly speeding up and fleeing, and the signal of the surveillance was getting weaker and weaker, and Dönitz could only watch his son-in-law lead the aircraft carrier to leave, and there was no way, and Dönitz couldn't understand what method his son-in-law used to raise the speed of the entire fleet. If this method makes Dönitz really simple and practical, the high-IQ Dönitz didn't figure it out, because it was too simple, just drag the submarine with a surface ship, and it would be worthless to put it bluntly, but it was such a small problem, even Li Mo didn't solve it if he wanted to break his head, and Stephen solved it in one sentence, it was really "three stinkers, one Zhuge Liang." ”

The time soon came to night, Li Mo encountered a very lucky thing again, the sky was clear and cloudless, a round of white full moon hung in the sky, and the wind and waves on the sea surface were less than fifty centimeters, Li Mo had been at the lookout after eating to direct and observe the weather outside, when night fell, waiting for the full moon to hang in the sky, Li Mo let out a long breath, and now he could let all his carrier-based aircraft go out to search for his father-in-law's submarine.

"Lieutenant Colonel Schmidt, I order you to immediately send eighty percent of the carrier-based aircraft carrying anti-submarine torpedoes to search for enemy submarines, and the remaining twenty percent stay to patrol the perimeter of the aircraft carrier."

"It's the commander-in-chief."

Although Li Mo knew that it was impossible for Dönitz's submarine to catch up with his aircraft carrier formation, there were too many unexpected factors in the war, and Li Mo did not dare to let his aircraft carrier formation have the slightest accident.
