"7:55 a.m., 250 nautical miles off Cape Town. (Full text reading, all in. (.i. Want. Wen. Learning Network)

Yin firm.

Next to the ship's island, a thin young officer wearing an oil-stained navy blue regular uniform, thin but like a big horse monkey, stood beside Le Fei, wiping the corners of his mouth with his sleeves without grace, while looking at the empty deck with smart eyes, feeling threatened.

Yes, threatened!

That's what Fang Yuan thinks.

He is the captain of the S11, and S is the first letter of the Shark.

At only 25 years old, he is not only already commanding submarines, but also the cousin of Fang Jin, who is nicknamed "the destroyer of all elegance" in the First Fleet.

My cousin is one of the few excellent battleship captains in the Empire, and it is also interesting that my cousin chose a submarine after graduation, and it is comparable to the Shoushan and Nagayama brothers who were appointed as commanders of the 1st and 4th Mechanized Infantry Divisions in the army.

Because of the relationship between his cousin, the navy is very familiar with this captain who is a little stunned, saying that he is stunned is not because he is stupid, on the contrary, this guy is among the best in the naval school, but it is such an excellent captain who was once considered to have emerged after Li Xiuyan and others, and he actually went to serve in the submarine force, and he was so angry that Ji Weishan, who wanted to bring him back to the First Fleet, said that he did not give Fang Jin a good face for half a month.

Moreover, this guy also had a bite with Fang Jin, virtuous, and never cared about other people's feelings, and actually "sank" the flagship of Commander Long, who was personally commanded by Commander Long with itchy hands for a while, in an innocuous exercise.

I also hit three training mines in a row!

Sink it, sink it, why are you sending three shots in a row? Hate Commander Dragon too much? Or do you think you don't need money to train torpedoes ?!

What is ridiculous is that after the exercise, this guy faced Commander Long, who was greeted by his forehead, and even made a lot of nonsense, saying that the battleships should be eliminated, "500 tiger sharks should be built to cover the sea, and it is said that even Fang Jin, who was present at the time, couldn't stand it" and beat him up.

When he helped, he got a stunned nickname, but it is said that he was a treasure in the eyes of the submarine commander Qin Shou, "and the captains of the battleships of Commander Qin and the battleships were very wrong", because he heard that not long ago, after the Prime Minister's Office allocated funds, "the report of immediately asking for the construction of a large number of tiger sharks has been reduced a lot."

Seeing that this guy actually wiped the steak soup on the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, Le Fei couldn't help but think of Fang Jin, but he didn't expect that these two cousins even had similar behaviors, so he couldn't help twitching twice from the corner of his eye, and said jokingly: "Depth charges and steaks taste good?" "Don't mention it, it's like the sky is turned overhead, if I hadn't been clever enough to drill under the belly of the fleet, I guess you wouldn't have seen me." Thinking that when he went to Aden not long ago to reconnoiter and sabotage the raid, he was suddenly attacked by dive bombs like crazy by two British escort light cruisers, and the bold Fang Yuan couldn't help but feel numb in his bones. 【 I want: super fast update 】

Although Fang Yuan said it lightly, but Le Fei still understands the danger and hardship, it is no secret that Britain has depth charges, it should be said that in order to deal with the rampant German submarines, Britain has indeed put a lot of effort into anti-submarine research, and even in the field of actual combat experience and other fields than the Royal Chinese Navy.

"What about India and Sikkim?" After looking at his watch and the dark sky, Le Fei took Fang Yuan and walked towards the bridge, "Probably suffocated, the latter kept nagging along the way, but it also let Le Fei know something about the situation in that area."

It turned out that "because Britain and the United States and other Entente countries continued to increase their troops in India, from Suez to Bombay to Sikkim, many patrol ships were added along the way, and it was estimated that there were at least nearly 100 warships, large and small, and with the beginning of the installation of depth charges on all cruisers and destroyers, submarine activities began to become dangerous."

In order to ensure safety, the Entente began to use a large number of cargo ships with a speed of more than 16 knots, and all adopted the escort mode, and it was almost impossible to see the single one, so even if one or two tiger sharks were sunk a little, they would expose themselves to being bitten by the escort warships, and even the S11 had to transmit the information back to the headquarters after receiving a depth charge, and then evacuated from the Sea of Aden with an Indian cargo ship.

After that, after getting supplies from the submarine support ship, he began to continue hunting all the way south along the coast of Africa, but he didn't expect that the ships along the way were scarce, and the radio station was damaged, and he wanted to go back first, but he thought of Cape Town, an important shipping lane, "so I wanted to try my luck, but I didn't expect to expose the location of the task force just after catching one."

However, Fang Yuan, who is so strong, said that if it weren't for the fact that most of the tiger sharks in the army had gone back to change their clothes, "the group can still give each other a little color."

After listening to the chatter, Le Fei nodded, "He also knows that the submarine force has recently returned to the factory in batches to change torpedoes, and it is said that this type of torpedo is not much different from usual, and it needs to be equipped with some additional equipment, so during this time, in addition to reconnaissance and patrol, "It is rare to see tiger sharks in groups, and the Pacific Ocean is not as wide as the Atlantic Ocean, it is wide, complex, and there are many channels, and the difficulty of breaking the attack is much higher."

"The radio station is broken, so I can only follow the original route" I was just about to turn around and ran into you without thinking, hehe. Fang Yuan scratched his head and took out a fake look on his body for a long time, and Le Fei, who couldn't stand it, had to grab a passing staff officer, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to him.

To tell the truth, Fang Yuan almost represents the temper of all submarine commanders, chattering, sloppy, brave and bold, so Le Fei still admires them very much, and for a long time they have been hiding in a closed place where they have to avoid even turning around, and ordinary people can't stay even for a few days.

"How long has it been since you came out?"

"It's been 28 days." Fang Yuan said fiercely: "Damn, Lian Gang's three ships, bad luck!" ”

Watching him swallow the clouds and spit out the fog, Le Fei couldn't help but smile: "The submarine force is usually inconspicuous, but the strangulation of the Indian Ocean and the waterway from Panama to Australia has been very effective, and more than 40 Allied freighters have been sunk in the past two months, and if it weren't for the fact that they have been returning home one after another to change their outfits since last month, this result will definitely be doubled."

Knowing how powerful this navy cold-faced tiger is, until Le Fei smiled, Fang Yuan boldly asked, "Brother Le, did you really go out to bomb the False Bay base at night?" ”

Looking at the faint wrinkles on Fang Yuan's forehead, Le Fei knew that he was worried, because this guy was an authentic submarine faction, and submarines were the king of the night before, if the aircraft carriers and planes with long combat distances could also fight at night now, wouldn't it be that the living space of submarines was small?

"Don't worry, I can't take your place, the attack is just before the sun goes down." After Lefei finished speaking, he stepped into the bridge amid the sound of "the commander takes over the bridge".

"Did the radar detect the attack group?" "There was a communication before" said that we were returning, and we kept the radio on, but. Jin Wei's face was full of worry, because fifteen minutes had passed since the scheduled return time.

Needless to say, the danger of night flights is no longer too much, even in areas where radio navigation is very well developed in China, every night flight is a threat, not to mention that it is still a barren and vast southern Indian Ocean, where there is not even a single obvious coordinate on the sea surface.

"Sir, why don't you turn on the lights?"

After the staff officer's suggestion, he was vetoed by Le Fei "He is not worried about surface ships, the previous telegram has confirmed that the main force of the South African fleet has been destroyed in the base" Even if there are one or two patrol ships that are urgently dispatched by a telegram from a French freighter, they will not threaten the task force, and what really worries him is the submarine.

Although according to intelligence, only the Chinese submarine has been equipped with a radio direction finder as of a few days ago, if the lights are turned on, it will be equivalent to pointing out the direction to the other parties, so he does not want to use this means until the next moment.

As time passed," and everyone in the bridge began to get agitated, the communications officer suddenly shouted: "Report, the Huangpu River reports that the radar has detected two surface targets approaching forty nautical miles to the southwest, and it is estimated that they are British and French cruisers that have received a telegram from a French merchant ship calling for help." "Damn, looking for a scene? As soon as he heard that someone was coming to take revenge, Fang Yuan rushed out like a splash, but after taking two steps, he remembered that he was on someone else's territory, and it was a little inauthentic to rob others of credit under the nose of the task force.

Le Fei didn't know what these captains thought, sinking a merchant ship and a warship in a battle are two different things, and the submarine is limited by speed and reconnaissance and other means, "plus the range and speed of the Lance II are insufficient, so unless there is a clear goal, even if you see it, you will be dumbfounded, especially after Germany has played a sword and pierced three hearts before, the Entente has made it clear that surface ships should not be lower than the old regulations when sailing."

"I'll leave you one in a moment and I'll leave." Le Fei raised his eyebrows, and the two patrol ships couldn't arouse his appetite, but they gave a good way to guide the plane back" immediately ordered: "Order the Huangpu River" Liaohe to intercept them and try to hit the superstructure as much as possible. ”

Hearing Le Fei's order, "Stay in the bridge for a while", and then they all suddenly realized.

The two light cruisers quickly rushed to the target," and when twenty minutes later there was a flash of fire on the distant sea, and suddenly there was a shout of excitement from the radio station, which had been silent for a long time.

"We're back!"

The sound made all the people who were anxiously waiting jump, and after a while, Le Fei ordered all the lights to be turned on, and the night sky seemed to light up instantly as the searchlights turned into the sky.

With the help of the cross-shaped light-assisted lander, the first Sea Eagle finally stopped at the amidship deck of the Yin Shang with the help of air crewmen, and after half an hour, the two hornets that reconnoitred the results of the battle lowered their tail hooks, grabbed the four blocking cables located on the amidships, and stopped in a perfect posture "The Battle of False Bay came to an end.

The debut of the two Yin Shang-class aircraft carriers announced that the Navy had officially entered the aviation age, "They sank a total of 37 ships, including the Fried-France battleship, five old battleships, and two cruisers, with a total tonnage of 400,000 tons, at the cost of a Sea Eagle being affected by crosswinds during landing, hitting the ship island and breaking its wings!"

The important thing is that because the Falkland base opposite Cape Town was also smashed by the lead fleet before, and the loss of the vital Cape Town base at this moment is tantamount to announcing that the Atlantic Ocean has entered an era of undefense!

On 23 October, the 31st Fleet and the Task Force met 370 nautical miles south of Cape Town.

On 25 October, the U.S. and French support fleets entered the Suez Canal after a short break.

On the same day, "a super-large convoy of fifteen ro-ro ships arrived in Luzon via the Taiwan Strait."

On 27 October, four Brooklyn-class light cruisers and 35 ocean-going ships carrying 50,000 Army soldiers and equipment set sail from the Chesapeake Bay to the Indian Ocean under the protection of a large number of destroyers.

On the same day, two Hebei-class battleships of the Third Fleet set sail from the Zhoushan Islands, accompanied by four light cruisers and four destroyers, to the Guam base.

On November 5, the British Queen Elizabeth-class battleships HMS Malaya and HMS Ireland, with five Linsen-class cruisers, three motherships of emergency conversion capable of taking off and landing army aircraft, and sixteen destroyers, crossed the Strait of Gibraltar and entered the Mediterranean.

On the same day, two Beijing-class speed battleships of the Chinese First Fleet (known as the Pacific Fleet) set sail from Honolulu and, after passing through the Ogasawara Islands, joined the Yaksha formation there and headed for Guam.

The Battle of False Bay "means that only 20 days after the Entente held the Gibraltar Conference and decided to open three fronts to attack the Pacific Ocean at the same time, the western front of the Indian Ocean, which is related to the Asia-Europe passage and regarded as the lifeline of the Allied Powers, slowly opened the curtain, and one warship after another, face by face, began to assemble.

The horn is about to sound!! ~！
