Chapter 153: Underwater Wolves (Part II)

After Li Mo received Gail's telegram, he was also very happy, as long as he found the enemy's submarine, it would be easy to do, if the submarine has no electricity, even the air compressor inside has no way to operate, of course, it can also use diesel power to generate electricity, but in this way, the noise of the submarine is very loud, and it is impossible to escape the underwater monitoring of surface ships, fortunately, Li Mo's aircraft carrier formation has six destroyers, and it is far from here, it is impossible for them to send destroyers to this water.

Gail began to return with his own plane, and they met the four FW61 reconnaissance helicopters halfway through, all of which were carrying two people, and there was a package under the helicopter, of course Gail knew what it was, it was a rubber boat, and Gail immediately guessed the intention of these helicopters, which was to use these assault rubber boats to listen underwater and find underwater submarines.

Of course, the number of these assault rubber boats is still too small to track more than 20 submarines, but submarines with no electricity and no compressed air will not stay underwater for long, and these submarines will definitely escape towards Marshal Raeder's main fleet, Li Mo has sent a large number of planes to search this area continuously, and will soon wait for those underwater wolves.

Li Mo, who already knew the specific location of the underwater wolf pack, did not run away, and immediately stopped the Zeppelin aircraft carrier formation, Li Mo was no longer afraid of Marshal Raeder's underwater wolf pack, because they had been driven away.

The news of the "annihilation" of the submarine in which Dönitz was flying quickly reached the High Command, and Hitler, who was already resting, was woken up by the adjutant, and even Hitler at this time. They all had to be stunned by Li Mo's amazing tactical command ability, and Hitler couldn't figure it out. How did this kid from the Krupp family do it, he was nothing more than a graduate of an army academy. How to be so proficient in naval warfare. After Keitel knew the news, he could only sigh for a long time, Keitel did not hate Li Mo, he sighed that the country has many talents, and a generation of new people has replaced the old, it seems that there is not much suspense about the change of direction of the German Navy.

The group of planes sent out by Li Mo has been searching in the direction of Raeder's fleet, and some submarines have been running out of electricity and oxygen after holding on underwater for two or three hours, so they have to surface and hang up the white flag. Those submarines that did not surface were waiting for Li Mo's group to return, and they could also surface for an hour while they were at this time. It can be that a group of planes just left, and the second batch of planes came again, not to mention that there were still damn assault rubber boats on the surface of the water listening, and more and more submarines were forced to surface, and by dawn the next day, only five submarines escaped because they did not sail in the direction of Raeder, and the rest of the submarines were all "annihilated" by Li Mo's group, but there was no VIP submarine system at this time. There are absolutely no submarines that do not surface for more than ten days, and the maximum time is two days.

Although Raeder was anxious and let his main fleet rush at full speed, three hundred nautical miles was not enough to reach in three hours. By dawn the next day, Raeder's main fleet was still about one hundred and fifty nautical miles away from Li Mo's aircraft carrier formation, and Li Mo had not yet recovered the planes he had sent and began to flee. Li Mo also deliberately used radio to inform the planes sent out to attack the submarine of their coordinates and course, and Li Mo's intention was very obvious. The first is to let the planes that were sent out immediately follow up and land on their own. The second is to tell Marshal Raeder plainly, come and pursue me! I am here.

Raeder also thought about sending his own water reconnaissance aircraft. But think about it, it's useless, Li Mo was originally an aircraft carrier formation, and his own several water reconnaissance planes were only sent out to deliver food, so it was better to wait for Zeppelin's flight runway to blow up before sending out, Marshal Raeder was still dreaming at this time.

After the sky was bright, Li Mo immediately asked all the pilots who went out to carry out the mission last night to rest, and then replaced with another group of pilots, anyway, people rest, planes do not rest, this time out of the exercise, Li Mo took more than 200 carrier-based planes to fly, and now all of them are just used for actual combat training.

As soon as the carrier-based aircraft landed, it was immediately towed to the parking area to fill the fuel and hang the bomb, the fuel was filled with a fuel pump, the process of refueling was still very fast, the bomb was also refueled at the same time as the refueling, including the mechanic's overhaul, the whole process took about 30 minutes, all the carrier-based aircraft landed, and it took an hour one after another, and all the carrier-based planes sent out landed completely.

Li Mo planned to make a decisive blow this time, sending all the planes at once, of which the BF109 twelve were only six for patrolling, and the remaining six BF109s were all pushed into the hangar, and the spare six JU87s were sent to the deck, that is to say, Li Mo prepared thirty-six JU87 dive bombers and six BF109 planes for this air raid on the Raeder fleet. Even if the effect is not big and the losses are serious, Li Mo still has more than 50 planes and organizes a complete carrier-based aircraft flight group, Li Mo is prepared to gamble and is not afraid of losing, and Raeder is the last hole card, and the victory or defeat is this hammer deal.

Li Mo didn't care about the specific affairs on the Zeppelin aircraft carrier, all the scheduling was in charge of Stephen, standing on the lookout Li Mo looked at the busy crowd on the deck with great satisfaction, their movements were becoming more and more familiar, and things were getting more and more orderly, and suddenly the wireless station on the lookout sounded:

"Commander-in-chief, I'm Stephen, the deputy captain of the Zeppelin, and all the carrier-based aircraft have been prepared and asked to take off."

"Agree to take off, good luck to the brothers."

Soon Led Zeppelin's radio heard Stephen's take-off order:

"All carrier-based aircraft took off." In an instant, the flight deck of the USS Zeppelin was full of start-up planes, and the roar of "buzzing" was deafening, and even the water glasses on the table were shaking to the point of "buzzing".

Soon the first plane slid into the sky, followed by the second, then the third...... No one knows the specific effect of this air raid, and Li Mo has been quite tired in the past few days, so he simply didn't think about it, so he went directly off the lookout and went back to the sofa in the war hall to take a nap.

This air raid was still carried out by Schmidt, and the Raeder fleet was more than 150 nautical miles away from Limer's aircraft carrier formation, and now the speed of Raeder's fleet was 32 knots, while Limer's aircraft carrier group was only 27 knots because it had to tow the submarine. (1 knot speed = 1 nautical mile = 1852 meters), that is to say, if Raeder's fleet wants to pursue to the artillery distance, it will take at least forty hours, and Li Mo must bomb Raeder within forty hours without fighting back, can Raeder's main fleet resist for forty hours?
