Africa. [Full text reading]

Four small detachments of five submarines each were dispatched to leave the protection of the combined First Fleet of Europe and the United States and sail to Cape Town alone. Their mission was to infiltrate Cape Town, raid the Chinese battleship "Imperial" in the harbor, and gain access to the underwater anti-submarine firepower network in the harbor.

They are the British submarine "Nautilus", the French submarine "Diver", the American submarine "Holland", and the German submarine "Wolf Pack". They have a slight difference in performance, with a range of around a thousand nautical miles. Carry weapons such as artillery, mines, and torpedoes.

After sailing hundreds of kilometers on the surface of the sea, and when they were still three or four hundred kilometers from the port of Cape Town, they began to dive. At this distance, gunboats with Chinese patrols had begun to appear on the sea, and in order to avoid being seen, they had to dive.

At a depth of more than 12 meters, the sea is silent. European and American players in submarines can only hear the sound of the bottom of the sea and watch the sea through the periscope in the boat. Occasionally, a round object can be seen emerging from the sea, searching around like a sea serpent, and then disappearing quickly.

"The Chinese's submarine defense is really weak, and they have already arrived at the port of Cape Town, and not a single warship has yet realized us."

A German player scout laughed while looking at the sea with a periscope and said to his colleagues, "It's a shame that those British were scared away by Chinese frigates yesterday." ”

The German captain said, "Be careful, don't be careless, there are already a lot of Chinese warships here." If we're not discovered, we're all doomed. Enter the harbor and find out the Chinese ironclad battleships! ”

"Yes!"

Ten German and French submarines took the lead, swaying within thirty or forty miles of the port of Cape Town. The British submarines had learned a lesson, and they were very cautious, carefully following the German and French submarines behind. The American submarines, however, moved slightly away from their accomplices and moved to the side.

To their amazement. There was no decent counter-detection and resistance. Not even the frigates, which British submarines once encountered, were not seen, only some lightweight gunboats.

The British were also very puzzled. "Where did the Chinese ground frigates, ironclad battleships, gunboats go? Is it in the Great Bay to the east of the Cape of Good Hope? ”

Something wasn't quite right, though. But now that it has arrived at the "doorstep" of Cape Town. If you don't go in and take a look, you can't say you can't go. Anyway, they decided to keep sneaking forward.

Cape Town actually has two bays. According to geographically. Take the Cape of Good Hope as the dividing line. One is the West Bay and the other is the East Bay. to the west and east of the Cape of Good Hope.

The West Bay is small.

The East Bay is very large. It is dozens of times that of the Western Bay Land. A large fleet of land can be moored.

Both bays were capable of mooring a large number of warships and warships.

The place where their submarine squadron went was the Western Bay, because the Western Bay was closer.

When approaching the port of the Western Gulf. The submarines finally have more than a dozen frigates towing sonar detectors to patrol back and forth on the surface of the sea, searching for movement on the bottom of the sea. German and French submarines were greatly excited. Carefully avoiding these frigates, with great effort, he slipped into the harbor through the gap between the frigates' search.

The German submarines entered the Western Bay and searched all the ports of anchorage, but not a single ironclad battleship was found in the harbor, only a small number of large gunboats. They were dumbfounded, could it be that all the Chinese warships were deployed in the Eastern Bay? Damn, it took so much effort to get in. Not a single ironclad battleship could be seen.

The German submarines said hello to the French, British, and American submarines and retreated.

However, it is easy to get in, but it is difficult to get out.

The Chinese ground frigates, I don't know when dozens of them were added, actually sealed all the exit gaps around the port, and some of the original exits were blocked.

The German, French, British, and American submarines finally felt bad and were shocked.

Bang.

A German submarine shook violently, and the players and NPCs in the submarine were suddenly shaken. Standing is not present.

"Depth charges!"

The German player's captain's face changed drastically, "Prepare for battle, shoot torpedoes, and attack enemy frigates!" ”

Unfortunately, the submarine did not have time to make an attack move, and the continuous depth charges blew the submarine apart in a very short time, and the sea water rushed into it and completely sank into the deep sea. The only thing on the last thought of the German player captain was: not good. Ambush!

More than thirty frigates. Depth charges were fired intensively in a small area of water near the harbor, and 20 submarines were surrounded. The results can be imagined. Not a single submarine managed to escape. By the time twenty submarines were sunk, only three frigates had been torpedoed by one submarine and had to dock in port for repairs. team, the generals of the players looked embarrassed.

Yesterday several submarines of the British went to Cape Town, and before they could get close to the port, they were driven away by Chinese frigates.

Now they took out a tenth of the number of a total of 20 submarines to fight, and they went in, but they were ambushed, and they were beaten to a fine light before they even touched the hair of the Chinese ironclad battleship.

The only ground intelligence found was that more than 80 Chinese ironclad battleships were not deployed in the western bay of Cape Town, but in the eastern bay. However, the loss of twenty submarines for the sake of such a small piece of information is inevitably too much.

"Since the Chinese's ironclad ships are not in the Western Bay, then they must be in the Eastern Bay. Or send all the remaining one hundred and eighty submarines to raid the Eastern Bay? If the raid is successful, you might be able to wipe out all the ironclad battleships. ”

"It seems that the Chinese have long been prepared for our submarine warfare, and the anti-submarine forces in the eastern bay will definitely be stronger and tighter than in the western bay." Even if we send out all the remaining submarines, we may not be able to break in. ”

The generals looked embarrassed.

The bones of Cape Town are so hard that there is no place from the sky to the bottom of the sea that can be punched into them. You can't rush in with a hard hit, and you can't rush through with a soft hit.

The supreme commander of the joint First Fleet of Europe and the United States, the American general "Jefferson" looked at everyone and said lightly: "It is too risky to use the submarine fleet to attack a bay that has already been carefully arranged. It seems that the option of a direct attack on Cape Town must be abandoned. Open up 6 locations on the other 6 coasts of Africa and surround Cape Town from 6 places! ”

A British general was full of doubts and said, "However, in this way, it will be a protracted war of six places!" The Battle of the Sea has become a protracted battle on 6. ”

Jefferson said helplessly: "This is also something that can't be helped. The Chinese fleet was unwilling to go to sea to fight a decisive battle with us, and we could not attack it, so we could only open up battlefields elsewhere. It is better to fight for a long time than to lose the storming of Cape Town recklessly. We have no problem in carrying out the 6 in the weak zone of Angola, and our fleet will sweep the coastline of Angola. After the occupation of Angola, it then marched south into Namibia and then into South Africa. ”

The German player said, "In that case." We need more corps of the 6 Army! ”

The Russian generals, who had been silent, were itching in their hearts when they saw the generals discussing tactics. couldn't help but pop up again, and a sentence popped out, choking the European and American generals.

"A protracted war is fought with the consumption of logistics supplies, steel, troops, food, and oil. If you don't send submarines to cut off the supply lines of the Chinese in the Indian Ocean, I don't believe that you have consumed the Chinese. I'm afraid that in the end, I will be dragged to death by the Chinese! Or, give me a fleet of submarines, and I'll go to the Indian Ocean to fight their transport supply lines? I promise to beat the Chinese to cry dad and call mother. ”

The Russian player general clapped his chest and shouted.

The European and American generals are so angry, which pot is not opened. They all said that they couldn't mess with merchant ships. This Russian player is still setting fire here. If you really beat the Chinese to cry dad and call mother, I am afraid that they themselves will cry father and mother a long time ago.

Jefferson was silent. In a protracted war, supply lines are indeed the key to this. The premise is that the consent of the upper peak must be obtained. Otherwise, if the American players themselves can't bear it, they must not fight.

After carrying out a number of exploratory attacks on Cape Town by the joint First Fleet of Europe and the United States, it was decided to directly abandon the plan of directly taking Cape Town and instead conduct the Deng-6 operation in Angola. This plan was quickly approved by the highest levels of the European and American alliances.

The First Fleet, led by Jefferson, carried out a full boarding of the Angolan prefecture and the main port of "Port of Luanda"6.

However, it will not be easy to take Angola.

Angola does not have a squadron. Instead, it was ceded by China to players in South Korea, Vietnam, and Burma, and their 6th Army was responsible for garrisoning. Add to that the Angolan army of local players - of course, the three countries will also get a lot of benefits from Angola, such as raw materials and so on.

Angolan ports do not have much coastal artillery, Asian gunboat fleet.

When the huge combined First Fleet of Europe and the United States arrived, all the Asian gunboats withdrew in advance.

Most of the coastal guns are old-fashioned artillery, which can only be used by first-class ships, and cannot be used by ironclad ships.

The few coastal guns did not put up an effective resistance, and after destroying the hundreds of gunboats of the First Fleet, they were frantically covered by the shipboard guns of the thousands of gunboats of the First Fleet. Hit a.

The whole beach position. There's no way to stay with anyone. Subsequently, the 6 ships of Omiden rushed to the beach. An overwhelming tide of hundreds of thousands of troops poured into the beach positions.

Although the players of South Korea, Vietnam, and Myanmar guarding the beach positions also had hundreds of thousands of troops, they did not have much heavy weapons and equipment in their hands to support, and they could not stop it in less than half an hour, so they hurriedly retreated, and once they retreated, it was hundreds of kilometers, and almost the entire beach position was abandoned.

However, this small loss does not have much to do with it, so that hundreds of kilometers, and thousands of kilometers of territory are still in their hands. And not a flat beach position, but a cluster of mountains, forests. It is not so easy to defeat the 6th Army of the Three Kingdoms and take away Angola.
