Chapter 130: Atlantic Police*
'Report, unidentified submarine found. A report interrupted Li Guang's musings.
As soon as I entered Beihai, there were guests who came to the door. Li Guang was not very worried about the submarine, and now the four submarines of the Naval Resistance Force formed a ten-kilometer diameter defense circle around the PC. If the opponent wants to break into this defensive circle, he must first ask Pixiu and Instigator if they agree.
Entering the North Atlantic, the PC was not disturbed except for one time when it was inspected by the British [***] ship in the English Channel. Perhaps because Li Guang had a good character, he did not encounter a single submarine, and the voyage was extremely smooth.
In fact, at this time, Germany only had more than 20 submarines capable of fighting in the ocean, and there were only 100 submarines operating in the North Sea, which was far less terrifying than when Dönitz was the commander of the navy and launched the wolf pack tactics.
Claude's report was appreciated by Dönitz and also by Hitler, and Germany's plan to expand its submarines was already on the agenda, but it would take half a year for a large number of submarines to appear in the Atlantic.
Careful and not a big mistake, Li Guang immediately ordered to prepare for battle. The PC is now not the standard configuration for transportation, but more than a hundred soldiers. For a time, there was a lot of guns, aimed at the sea.
Recently, the Naval Resistance Forces have again developed a means of anti-torpedo. The stupidest, but also the last hope. Li Guang once got more than 1,000 Soviet-made turntable machine guns from Ramo, but because the bullets were not common to domestic weapons, they were not equipped with marines and were not sent to China. And these machine guns were equipped on battleships.
This light machine gun has a high rate of fire and a large shell capacity. When the torpedo approached the battleship, it was a last resort.
On the port side of the PC, the Pixiu No. 1 submarine surfaced, and then Ji Kelian asked for instructions in the walkie-talkie. Li Guang was also very interested in knowing how the combat effectiveness of his submarines was compared to that of European countries, so he immediately ordered: "Hunting." ”
Li Guangzai's mentality has changed greatly after the battle of Statue Island, and now he is fascinated by the feeling of wandering on the battlefield. This is not the South Atlantic, the North Sea was a British bathtub before the war, and even now the British navy has a great advantage in the North Sea.
Li Guang dared to make a move in this area, but it was not reckless, at least it was quite beneficial to the Naval Resistance Army. The North Sea is cloudy, but the wind is not very strong. In this kind of weather, it was difficult for both British and German fighters to rise into the air for combat. And the time is close to evening, even if the opponent has the assistance of the battleship, it may not be so easy to catch the PC.
At this time, the PC was still quite far away from the submarine whose nationality was unknown. This target was still discovered first by the submarine. It was only after the submarine gave directions that the observers on the PC saw the smoke on the surface of the sea. The submarine was clearly charged on the surface of the sea, and the diesel engine made a loud noise.
In clear weather, observers can search the surrounding sea surface almost fifty kilometers in diameter through telescopes. But in such gloomy skies, it is difficult to detect a target at a distance of fifteen km, even with specially trained night vision observers, not to mention that the opponent is a submarine without a tall mast.
Moments later, the observer confirmed that the submarine of unknown nationality was about eight nautical miles away and that there was no need to worry about the safety of the PC. The four submarines of the Maritime Resistance Army had already quietly touched it at this time.
Four submarines quietly approached the unknown submarine from under the water at a silent speed. In the 40s, the tactics of the Naval Resistance Force have gradually matured, and there has been a fairly complete set of plans for underwater stealth. The four submarines swam silently in the sea like fish, and until they approached less than a kilometer, the opponent still did not react in the slightest.
The opponent was too weak, and Ren Tianyang, who was in charge of the command, was very dissatisfied. So this kid turned his head and had a bad idea. Immediately an order was given to the four submarines:
Float at full speed.
There was no telegram between the four submarines, just a few taps from Ren Tianyang on the submarine's pressure-resistant hull. This is an improvised submarine underwater communication that Ren Tianyang and Ji Keliang explored during their operations in the South China Sea
Technology. However, this technology is very limited and can only be used within five kilometers, and even then it has largely solved the problem of submarine cooperation and combat liaison.
This is a British submarine, and the British Navy was stunned when the four behemoths rose to the surface.
The torpedo tubes in the surrounding black hole holes were facing the British submarine. At this time the British on the submarine were already scared stupid.
These British submariners were supposed to take advantage of the opportunity to recharge, go to the deck to breathe, and breathe in the fresh air on the sea. This sea area is located north of the English Channel, and it only takes more than ten minutes for British and French warplanes on both sides of the strait to reach, which is a fairly safe area. These British submarine officers and men never dreamed that they would be surrounded.
Encountering a mutation, the British were already stupefied at this time. When the undressed British on these decks were ready to surrender, the four submarines dived in unison and disappeared. The British, in a panic, did not even see clearly the shape of the submarine of the Sea Resistance Army.
The British sailors were at a loss for what to do, and they didn't know who they were. Don't look at the fact that the submarine has already dived, the British do not have the slightest courage to move at this time. I am afraid that a little too much excitement will cause a bunch of torpedoes to attack.
At this time, a sharp-eyed British sailor pulled the captain and said, "There is a light signal." ”
"Police. Inspect and stop immediately and be inspected. ”
Li Guang had already seen the spoof of Ji Keliang and his gang in the distance, and he was also interested, pretending to be an Atlantic policeman. Examine.
The British are really obedient enough, and when the PC number arrives in front of them, they are still in order, and they do not act rashly at all, and they do not even send a telegram.
Li Guangyi said solemnly to British submarine captain Bruce: "I suspect that this submarine is smuggling drugs and products, and now I ask you to cooperate with the inspection." ”
Bruce was confused, what kind of years is this, there are wars everywhere, how can there be anti-smuggling? Even if you check the drug and products, you don't need to be so loud, Bruce was scared almost to pee just now, and the British sailors on the submarine were scared enough, and there were even sailors who urinated down their thighs.
After all the British were brought to the PC, Li Guang immediately led people into the submarine, holding the camera, and took pictures for a long time.
When it came, Li Guang did not forget to rub the oil. Li Guang sent people to test the surname of British submarine sonar, and found that passive sonar was basically the same level as the Germans, but the level of active sonar was much higher. The core of active sonar is the ultrasonic generator and oscilloscope, which were also picked up by Li Guang. And it took a lot of effort to unload one torpedo from the British submarine.
A few hours later, a bunch of Britons were in the dark, what the hell was going on. Suspected of poison in the torpedo? Product.
Let's say it's an enemy, they don't take prisoners at all. Say it's the Allies, why did they unload their own torpedoes? Until they were released, these Englishmen did not figure out which country these Orientals belonged to.
Before leaving, Li Guang also said in a matter-of-fact manner: "Please pay attention to keeping secrets, do you see this sign?" ”
Li Guang pointed to the huge five-clawed golden dragon logo on the side of the ship.
"Grow your eyes in the future, Atlantic Police, Detective, you know? Dude, it's the Atlantic Police, Detective. In the future, only wars are allowed and sneak attacks on merchant ships. It is forbidden to forcibly exterminate women, smuggle drugs, or abduct or sell children. ”
The captain was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart What kind of police is this, check. Fighting a war, attacking a merchant ship doesn't matter, it's just a criminal offense.
This kind of rookie submarine captain is really far worse than several captains of the Maritime Resistance Army, not to mention the submarine's surname Neng, even its vigilant surname is suspicious.
Originally, Li Guang wanted to snatch this submarine a little, but after thinking about it, he really had no way to deal with this group of rookies. You can't kill them all. If you keep it, it will be a great contradiction to wait until after the war.
Li Guang sighed with emotion, who called me a good person? In the end, it was like a nightmare that the British Navy was unscathed.
After Li Guang studied the British submarine, he found that the British submarine was not lagging behind, at least not too far behind the German submarine. This Sea Lion-class submarine has a displacement of 670/960 tons, 1990/1300 horsepower, an overall size of 63.63*7.32*3.2m, 13.75/10 knots, 10 knots/3800 nautical miles, 39 people, a depth of 95m, and 6 533mm torpedo tubes. The design is quite reasonable, and although there is nothing particularly remarkable about it, the surname is balanced, reflecting the deep seafaring roots of the British Empire.
As for a torpedo that took a lot of effort to dismantle, that was Li Guang's consistent style. Since Li Guang came to this era, his first main business was actually to make torpedoes. Unfortunately, to this day, the technical parameters of the torpedo are still unsatisfactory. In order to improve torpedo technology, the shortcut is naturally to first copycat and then absorb and then improve.
The Naval Resistance Army once obtained a German-made torpedo, which greatly improved the torpedo technology produced by the Naval Resistance Army. Now I ran into what is known as the most reliable torpedo of World War II - torpedo. Li Guang naturally won't let go. The British MK8 torpedo, the torpedo that began to be equipped in 1927, the data is mediocre, but it is very, very reliable, and it was used until after World War II, in the Battle of the Falklands in 1982, the British nuclear submarine Conqueror also used the MK8 to sink the largest warship of the Argentine Navy, the cruiser General Belgrano.
Li Guang had heard of this torpedo. As early as 38 years, Li Guang discovered that Ramo's purchase of American torpedo trigger fuses was extremely unreliable, and he had no choice but to adopt the method of increasing the number of torpedoes to improve the reliability of the torpedoes, and until now the number of torpedo trigger fuses used by the Naval Resistance Force is three times that of German torpedoes.
Although this clumsy method has greatly improved the reliability of torpedoes, and it is rare for torpedoes to explode when they are fired, it has also complicated the torpedo head device of the Naval Resistance Army, which occupies the already tight volume of torpedoes. The charge of the 533mm torpedo, the flagship product of the Maritime Resistance Army, is significantly lower than that of the German G7 torpedo.
For example, the British MK8 torpedo has a charge of 340 kilograms, which is a full 140 kilograms more than the torpedo charge of the Naval Resistance Army.
In fact, the surname of this British torpedo is no worse than the thermodynamic torpedo that the Naval Resistance Army can just produce now, and its mediocrity is mainly compared with the German torpedo and American torpedoes in the middle and late stages of World War II. In addition to its great power, its speed is also quite impressive. The maximum speed is 45.5 knots, the range at the maximum speed is 4572m, and the medium speed is 41 knots/6400m. This indicator far surpasses the thermodynamic torpedoes of the Maritime Resistance Army. At present, the thermodynamic torpedoes produced by the torpedo factory of the Maritime Resistance Army have enough power after using planetary engines, but the range and rate of fire have been difficult to achieve satisfactory results. The engineers also found the reason for this, the propeller was poorly designed and manufactured, and the design of the tail rudder was also inadequate. At high speeds, it is difficult to guarantee the straight line of the torpedo.
But many technical problems are not solved by knowing the cause, and it takes a lot of experimentation to solve them, which means a huge investment of time and money.
So Li Guang was very happy to get this torpedo. This MK8 torpedo can undoubtedly further improve the torpedo technology of the Naval Resistance Army. In Li Guang's plan, the torpedo should be another profit growth point in addition to the battery, but due to the gap in the technical level, the electric mine can still be used, but the thermodynamic torpedo is simply embarrassed to sell to the outside world.
Li Guang gained a lot from this encounter at sea. However, the world is unpredictable, Li Guang did not expect that he might as well capture this submarine, whether it is against the naval resistance army or the United Kingdom. A day later, the fate of the British sturgeon submarine was the same as in history, when it was sunk by three German auxiliary anti-submarine tugboats on April 18, 40.
