Chapter 322: The Tragedy of the English Sea Wolf

The Faroe Islands, located between Iceland and Scarpa Bay, have been a thorn in the side of the British since the German navy occupied them after the Third Norwegian Naval War.

The closest island to Scarpa Bay in the Faroe Islands is less than 300 kilometres from Scapa Bay. Thanks to the bombers and fighter jets that take off here, there is direct access to Scarpa Bay.

When the German Navy succeeded in establishing a land-based airfield in the Faroe Islands and deploying bombers and fighters, it was threatened by it, and Spa Parga, the most important military port in the north of the British Isles, almost lost its due role.

In order to avoid the imminent threat of the Luftwaffe, the Royal Navy had to abandon the use of this port as a "military port", and all the large warships that had been placed here to monitor the German attack fleet withdrew south to avoid a possible air attack. Scapa Bay is so close to the Faroe Islands that the Royal Navy is now left with only a few old ships imported from the United States to support the façade, and even a slight injury is an unbearable loss.

After the Faroe Islands changed hands, the British tried in every possible way to regain the islands, while the Germans also wanted to keep this important springboard into the Atlantic at any cost. Since the main fleet of the British was completely wiped out after the Third Norwegian Sea War, and the sea control of the Norwegian Sea was lost, the idea of regaining this archipelago naturally became a fishing for the moon.

Since March, the German Navy has been continuously strengthening the defense of the Faro group, building an airfield, an underground oil depot, a small dock and so on, based on the facilities left by the British. It then took three months to gradually fortify the two large islands in the archipelago.

In order to leave a hope of retaking the island, the British have also done everything possible in the past few months to sabotage the idea of the Germans sending supplies to the island.

In order to strengthen the defense of the island, the Germans had previously committed a full division to the island, and the navy had stationed four wings of more than 200 aircraft on the island. Such a huge investment of troops. Its daily consumption of supplies is enormous.

Although the large capital ships of the British Navy were almost completely destroyed, the submarine and torpedo boat forces were nearly intact. From March to July, the British Royal Navy concentrated almost all its submarines in the Norwegian Sea, in the vain hope of cutting off the Faroe Islands from the mainland by breaking diplomatic relations. In addition to submarine and torpedo boat engine attacks, the Royal Air Force also frequented the area for attack operations whenever permitted. From March. The battle between Britain and Germany in the three battlefields of underwater, on the water, and in the sky has been going on intermittently.

From March to July, the break-up and anti-break-up operations around the supply of sea transport lines from the Faroe Islands to the German mainland never stopped.

In the Atlantic, Dönitz's Seawolf forces were raging wildly, almost cutting the throats of the British for maritime shipping. And in the Norwegian Sea, the British Royal Navy also wanted to return the favor with the other, but it hit the nail board headfirst.

For four months, from March to July, the Royal Navy sank forty-five submarines in the Norwegian Sea. So much so that every time the submarine force entered the Norwegian Sea to carry out a diplomatic operation, its superiors staying in the port had to be mentally prepared to cross off the list of submarines that attacked, but the results were few. The casualties were so high that the Royal Navy twice interrupted the activities of the Submarine Unit in the Norwegian Sea, and spent a great deal of time reflecting on why the submarine force suffered so many casualties.

In addition to the fleet to fight in the Atlantic, Hannah was accompanied by ten supply ships, two escort carriers, and ten destroyers. Six of the supply ships will also follow them into the Atlantic to fight, while the escort carriers, which have only two dozen aircraft, will act together as their escort.

Part of the supplies were delivered to the garrisons on the Faroe Islands. The destroyer's mission was to protect the remaining supply ships on their way back to Germany after unloading.

In the past, the German Navy would not have dared to take a slow supply ship with it, because the consequences of doing so would only be the prey of the powerful Royal Navy.

The Faroese Islands are located between Iceland and Scapa Bay and have been occupied by the German Navy since the Third Norwegian Naval War. It has become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of the British.
