At this time, the mainstream air-dropped torpedoes must fly in a straight line at a low altitude of several hundred meters and a distance of thousands of meters in a continuous line to be able to be stably dropped. So during this time, torpedo planes were very dangerous, and in World War II in the original time and space, the loss rate of torpedo planes was the highest among all fighters. In the face of an increasingly powerful network of low-altitude anti-aircraft fire, torpedo machines are basically sending people to the head.

But gliding torpedoes do not have this problem, they can be dropped at high altitude and high speed, and after dropping, they will automatically glide, and when they reach near sea level, they can open the parachute and enter the water at low speed. There's no need to work hard at all.

In addition, the British and American planes did not expect this mode of attack at all, and they did not have time to intercept it, not to mention the entanglement of escort fighters. So the German bombers barely met any interception and comfortably dropped all the torpedoes. Then, with a great loss of weight, they quickly pulled up into the air and turned around and left.

The sight of a salvo of hundreds of gliding torpedoes is spectacular, as if hundreds of small planes were swarming in. Some of the British and American fighters who reacted wanted to intercept them, but they were entangled by German escort fighters. At this time, the fighters of both sides are at a similar level, and under the same technical level, the performance of land-based aircraft is definitely better. The British and American fighters were originally a little difficult, and under the desperate entanglement of the German planes, it was even more difficult to separate. In the end, only a little more than 10 planes got out of the entanglement and ran to intercept those gliding torpedoes.

The speed of the gliding torpedo in the air was only six or seven hundred kilometers, and at this time the British and American fighters were all jets, and it was no problem to catch up. But there are too many opponents, and they are too small to aim. British and American fighters only intercepted more than 20 torpedoes.

At the same time, the anti-aircraft fire of the American and British warships was in full swing, desperately firing at these demonic "little planes". However, at this time, the distance was still relatively far, more than ten kilometers, and only anti-aircraft guns with a caliber of more than four inches could reach it. However, the interception effect of anti-aircraft artillery is not very good, because their size is too small, and to hit such a small target from a distance of more than ten kilometers, it requires extremely high character.

The British and American fleets, even with the use of wireless proximity fuses (VT fuses), stopped less than 40 torpedoes.

At a distance of three or four kilometers, at an altitude of more than 100 meters, the unlocking device of these gliding torpedoes was activated, the gliding kit was unlocked, and the torpedo was dropped. Then I saw hundreds of dandelion-like parachutes bloom in the air.

Originally, the US and British officers and soldiers thought they were gliding bombs, but when they saw that these "bombs" were still carrying deceleration parachutes and were so large, they thought they were fuel air bombs that appeared on the Maginot Line.

On the USS Enterprise, a U.S. Navy colonel said in surprise. "Are the Germans crazy? Actually using fuel air bombs on the sea?"

"Have you ever experimented with a fuel-air bomb exploding on the surface of the sea?" asked a British naval colonel.

The U.S. Navy colonel's face turned red, and he shook his head and said, "No...... We have not yet made a practical fuel-air bomb, and it is said that the difficulty is the mixing of fuel and air, and we have not been able to find a suitable medium......"

"Damn Germans, this damn bomb has made our previous fortresses a joke......" said the British Navyman, with an ugly face.

"Hahaha, but even if it's a fuel air bomb, the killing range is limited, and it's so far away, you can only blow up fish......" The American colonel looked at the gliding bomb that fell far into the water and said disdainfully.

On the bridge of the flagship battleship Hao, a bearded officer said with a happy face: "It seems that our radio jamming devices are really effective, and they all failed." ”

At this time, a lieutenant with a hairless mouth said weakly: "Why do I think they look like torpedoes?" ”

"What?, torpedo?" the crowd was stunned for a moment, then shocked.

At this time, just listen to "puff puff...... Puff puff puff ......", like dumplings, torpedoes entered the water one after another.

The commander of the Combined Fleet, British Admiral Sir Somerville, reacted at once, and hurriedly shouted: "Damn, that's a torpedo! The Germans actually made a gliding torpedo! Quick, hurry up and notify the ships and carry out the anti-torpedo procedure!" He also thought it was a fuel-air bomb just now, and thought it was some new trick played by the Germans, but he still imagined what the effect would be if such a thing as a fuel-air bomb was against a ship.

"Commander, radio jamming is underway, radio communications are unusable...... "the chief of staff reminded.

"Damn, use the flag, use the light signal! Let them immediately switch to the anti-torpedo program! Turn off the radio interference!"

"Yes, Commander!"

Somerville and the others stared nervously at the sea, and cold sweat came out.

At present, the radio interference in Britain and the United States has only been out for a few years, and it is not possible to use jamming and communication at the same time. Once radio interference is turned on, your own radio communication is useless.

Now the torpedoes are only three or four kilometers away from the fleet, and at their speed of 50 knots it will take three minutes at most. And the Anglo-American fleet, which was unusable by radio, could not react at all during this time period.

The German oxygen torpedo track was very shallow and difficult to observe, which made it even more difficult for British and American ships to evade. So those light ships had to use stupid methods to block themselves in front of the large ships.

"Boom...... Boom ......" made two loud noises in succession, and two high columns of water suddenly rose from the side of a destroyer that had just approached. Then the destroyer shook suddenly, and the hull seemed to jump upward, and then fell heavily back to Haili. Then it was as if it had been torn in two by an invisible giant hand, and the entire hull was disconnected from the middle.

"Boom...... Rumble...... Rumble...... Boom ......" explosions kept ringing out. Beneath the sea was full of speeding torpedoes, dragging shallow trails, viciously pounced on their chosen targets at a high speed of 50 knots......

Sir Somerville looked at all this with a pale face, the fleet that had been huge a few minutes ago was now incomplete. Although the Hao under his seat has a strong character and has not lost a single hair, the other ships are not so lucky.

For example, Howe's sister ship, the Hood, is already heavily tilted and is sinking into the sea at a speed visible to the naked eye. Hood-chan of the original plane was not shot by Bismarck, but he fell to his knees in this air raid. Presumably, the power system of its battle patrol was too powerful and made too much noise, so it hit 11 torpedoes in one go. The battleship Yamato, which was more advanced in the original time and space, only knelt down after 10 ordinary torpedoes. Hood sauce is just a battle patrol, and after suffering 11 oxygen torpedoes, how can there be a reason not to kneel? Even the gods can't save them.

"Hurry up and rescue, and then go home!" Somerville, also a veteran, was ready to retract as soon as he saw that the momentum was not right.

However, the disaster was not a one-way street, just when they rescued the officers and soldiers who fell into the water and rushed to repair the damaged warship. The flotilla of troop carriers in the back was also attacked by submarines. The 56 submarines quietly entered the warning circle while the main fleet was coping with the air attack, fired a torpedo salvo at the troop carriers, and then hurriedly slipped away.

The angry British and American fleets also reacted at this time, and a large number of destroyers and frigates frantically searched everywhere like hunting dogs that had been whipped fiercely. When you see something suspicious, you immediately hit a nest of hedgehogs and bounce it over.

Since a large number of experienced captains were sent to the Atlantic Ocean to carry out a diplomatic break, only some of the old German submarines came this time, and the new captains who followed them to rub their experience were unlucky. They had never seen such a battle, and in a panic, they carried out a high-speed underwater maneuver, only to be discovered by sonar.

The British were made neurotic by German submarines during World War I, so they invested a lot of energy in anti-submarine after the war, and also achieved good results, especially in the sonar system, some performance has reached the level of the mid-to-late 50s of the original space-time. The most intuitive manifestation is that their current anti-submarine efficiency is much higher than that of World War I.

Those old bird captains sit directly on the bottom, or maneuver at low speed, which is difficult to detect in this chaotic situation, but those new captains who maneuver at high speed are caught. And so they were tragic.

Ever seen a submarine attacked by hundreds of hedgehog shells at the same time?

Annoyed and angry, the British and American fleets used these submarines as punching bags, and anti-submarine mortars, hedgehog shells, deep bombs, and the latest rocket-deep bombs were thrown away as if they didn't want money.

In the end, they sank 14 German submarines, and finally saved a little face.

September 15, Republic 2782 (1941), Hankyung, Presidential Palace.

Wen Deji also received the news quickly, and he said with a smile: "It seems that the Germans did not take our sound torpedoes in vain, they also developed their own gliding torpedo......

Well, the torpedo that the Germans picked up really didn't deliberately release the water from China, it was a complete accident, God knows how that torpedo didn't explode, and it was inserted into the submarine. Over the past several decades, the New China Navy and Air Force have used tens of thousands of torpedoes, not to mention tens of thousands of torpedoes, and only three instances have been used if they have not been hit. For this powerful dog #luck, Wen Desi can only sigh that God has no eyes.

"The Shetland War brought about a turning point in the Franco-German peace talks. The borrowing of roads and bases, which the French had been reluctant to let go, also loose......ned after this battle," said Cavour with a laugh.

"Oh. What do they say?"

"The French are prepared to deal with it in this way, and the 100-kilometre stretch along the coastline of several northern provinces, such as the Calais and Seine-Maritimes, can be given to Germany for three years, after which it must be returned. That is to say, in the treaty, Germany could only say that the return of these places to France would be delayed for three years, and that France would lend them ......"
