Chapter 1734 The dancer on the tip of the knife 2

So, the U145 submarine put away the antenna at the top of the conning tower, and then headed towards the suspicious target. The submarine approached the target at a surface speed of 12 knots, and soon, through radio positioning again, Dönitz found this guy It seems to be really mobile? ! This made Denitz and others even more surprised. "This should be a ship, but it uses the communication method of the Royal Naval Air Force." Lieutenant Preet said.

"There must be something wrong here." Denitz said, and at this moment, suddenly, the voice of the first officer came from outside the control tower!

"Dive quickly! Damn it, we seem to have encountered a big guy!" The warning sound from above made the hearts of the entire submarine jump. After all, this is fighting on the British territory, although there is fog As a cover, the submarine itself does not radiate radio waves, but there is still the possibility of being hit by the opponent.

Everything went according to the prearranged plan. The chief mate and several submarine crews followed the ladder to quickly return to the interior of the submarine, and the last person to go closed the hatch, and the bow of the submarine lowered slightly. Under pressure, a large amount of seawater poured into the water tank, and the submarine quickly dived into the water, but Dönitz still ordered the submarine to be at the depth of the periscope. At the same time, the chief engineer was also controlling the speed of the submarine, keeping the submarine at a quiet speed of about 4 knots After sailing and pulling down the periscope, Doenitz began to search the sea.

According to the direction indicated by the first officer, Doenitz could see a slender guy appearing in his direction at 9 o'clock through the mist, and the other party's heading should be northeast.

"Judging from the shape of the ship, it should be a capital ship. The length is at least 180 meters. This is definitely a super dreadnought! The thing next to the sea level seems to be a destroyer, and the one in front should be a light ship. Cruiser." Doenitz kept adjusting the periscope to track the target.

"But don't you realize that the main deck of this ship is a bit too high from the sea surface? British super fearless people don't have such a high freeboard." The first officer shook his head and said. A ship of such length cannot be a Dreadnought, it can only be a capital ship or a cruise ship. From the analysis of freeboard height and general appearance, the chief officer is more inclined to the latter.

"Let's take a look." Doenitz handed the periscope to Lieutenant Preet.

"This is a capital ship. There should be no mistake. If it was a ship, the British would not arrange so many guards. However, this guy is different from all the British capital ships we have seen before." Puli said. Lieutenant Te sent over a British Navy warship identification manual.

"The sea fog is about to dissipate, let's follow and have a look." Denitz ordered. So, on the side of the British fleet, a German submarine of no more than 1,000 tons tried to follow, but obviously, the submarine in the submerged state could not catch up with the opponent at all.

The speed of the British fleet began to increase from 12 knots, and quickly increased to about 18 knots.

"Damn it, this is not normal!" Doenitz cursed as he saw the looming figure in the mist. Dönitz is very clear that the British are very short of fuel now. According to internal intelligence, the order issued by the British Grand Fleet is that the speed of the battleship squadron cannot exceed 12 knots when cruising, and the speed of light cruisers and destroyers cannot exceed 14 knots. . (This is not fabricated by the author, and there are also things about limiting speed in history.) But obviously, the fleet's goal has exceeded the limited limit speed, and there is also the meaning of speeding up!

"This is a battlecruiser?" Doenitz asked a huge question in his heart, but at this moment, something unexpected happened to him. The huge battleship in the center of the periscope field of view actually started to turn around. ? ! Heading towards the direction of the U145 submarine, what shocked Dönitz even more was that several planes quickly took off from this huge warship. This scene of deja vu made Denitz realize with lightning speed, what kind of guy is this guy in front of him, and his previous doubts were easily resolved!

"It's an Aircraft Carrier, it's a British Aircraft Carrier! They've turned, it's supposed to be chasing the wind, and now they're taking off against the wind! God! What do I see?! It's a British Aircraft Carrier !” Denitz exclaimed. And as Dönitz said, this time, the U145 submarine happened to encounter the aircraft carrier HMS Fury, which was being trained near the Shetland Islands. body type. It is the best aircraft carrier of the British at present.

"No wonder this ship uses the communication frequency band of the Royal Naval Air Force. That's the reason." Lieutenant Preet also suddenly realized. In fact, the radio communication used by the aircraft carrier squadron in the German High Seas Fleet to command carrier-based aircraft is also different from that of the Grand Fleet, because the carrier-based aircraft aviation power of the German High Seas Fleet is almost obtained from the Kingdom of Bavaria. Convenient, everything is directly inherited, including this means of radio communication. And the British seem to be doing the same.

"They are releasing the aircraft. This aircraft carrier is already close to our Wittelsbach in appearance, but it seems that the width of the hull is a little smaller." At this time, the distance between the aircraft carrier and the U145 submarine got closer. Nitz could already clearly see the process of the aircraft carrier releasing the aircraft.

"At least 18 aircraft. If you count the aircraft released before, there may be 24." Doenitz roughly estimated the release of aircraft from the aircraft carrier. Subsequently, the U145 submarine tried to team up with the aircraft carrier to launch an attack. However, the huge speed gap caused U145 to miss the opportunity. Considering that it was investigating under the eyes of the British, it was not easy for the submarine to recharge, so it finally gave up decisively. attack mission.

"This is an important situation, and we need to report it to the port of Kiel as soon as possible." Doenitz said, but what he didn't expect was that another German submarine U320 also spotted a ship in the direction of the Orkney Islands. Aircraft carrier, this is the second largest aircraft carrier of the British "Hundred Eyes Giant".

As a result, in just one day, two more aircraft carriers were added to the list of British battleships in the German High Seas Fleet! This has caused a significant change in the balance of power between the two parties, especially in Dönitz's report that he mentioned that the aircraft carrier he encountered was remodeled with a hull similar to that of a battlecruiser, and it was similar in size to Vettel. Similar to the news from the Scherbach! It made Sher feel very uneasy.
