In the dimly cramped space, Prien, the captain of the legendary German navy submarine, was sitting in his own lounge with only one bed. ╡┝┢┟. {. The folding table was closed by him. He was lying on his back on the bed, feeling the rhythmic roar of the submarine machinery.
The German navy ’s blockade against Iceland has not stopped for a moment, backward submarines carrying mines secretly mine in the waters near Iceland, and advanced new submarines are responsible for the siege of ships attempting to deliver supplies to Iceland.
The long and boring underwater life is far less romantic than imagined. After all, during this period of time, the Allies have begun to use a complete system to barely maintain the outpost of Iceland. Under such circumstances, it is difficult for submarines to find opportunities for floating and charging, which limits the combat intensity of German submarines in this area.
Prien had n’t shaved in days. The thin, thin face and the dense blue stubble made him look like a wild man, but he was already used to it because of the German submarine force. Combat has long ignored his sloppy.
After all, compared with the life, the slight flaws on the meter are nothing. What's more, there is no pretty girl in this closed sea, who is tidy and shows it to whom? Most of the time the submarine lights are turned off. Who cares if there is some oil on the body?
"Sir!" Across the thin curtain, the on-duty lieutenant lowered his voice and called Prien. Prian, who had not slept at all, immediately turned up and opened the curtain.
"Another fleet has passed, there are sonar detection signals, and there are quite a few ships." The adjutant on duty reported the information he had. Performing missions in such dangerous waters, few German submarine commanders have such courage. ┞╪┝. However, the risk is greater, and the harvest is naturally greater, so they now have first-hand intelligence information.
Prion was stunned, and then touched the stubborn chin with his hand, frowning a little puzzled: "This fleet is so frequent, and they have gathered a lot of anti-submarine escorts ... They are on the island We have to inform the headquarters of what is being delivered. "
"Heading adjustment, 44 degrees to the east! Turn the rudder." Prion jumped off the bed and followed the on-duty lieutenant to the submarine's command room while putting his leather jacket on his body. The sonar soldier was holding the headset. The roar of the engine from the fleet above the ship looked like there were many ships.
"The heading was adjusted eastward, turning the rudder 44 degrees and leaving the water as soon as possible." The adjutant on duty gave the helmsman the command to leave here. The helmsman nodded, and then began to adjust the direction of the rudder on the submarine. The submarine turned slowly in the deep sea like a giant shark waiting for an opportunity to pounce on the target.
There is only one torpedo left, and they are in urgent need of replenishment. Standby here is only to temporarily avoid the fleet of American merchant ships passing by frequently. So from the beginning, they did not intend to attack, but just to avoid and observe. Now they plan to leave because they want to find a safe place to float and return what they saw to the submarine headquarters far away in France.
In the formation of the surface ship, the sonar soldier of a destroyer frowned. He heard a strange sound in the water, not the sound of nature. It sounded like ... It was like a submarine adjusting its course .
"What's going on?" The nervous officer stood beside the sonar soldier and asked with a slightly stuttering tone. He didn't want to meet those legendary German submarines, and listening to those comrades who had met, it was a nightmare. ╪┠. (﹝ .c {o ［m {
"It seems to be a submarine, but I heard no other sounds. They did not shoot torpedoes ... at least not just now." The sonar soldier took off his headphones and answered his chief's question. As a recruit, he is also very nervous about the current situation. God knows if a torpedo will rush over and blow up their ship in two?
"Did you get it wrong? The Germans have no reason to let our fleet go." The officer swallowed and then asked carefully.
"Yes, it is possible." Because of the large number of ships launched, there are too many new soldiers serving in the US Navy. The US Navy, whose main force is in the Pacific, had to fool the Atlantic with a large group of recruits. Although the loss of the German submarine attack fleet remained high, the battle on the Atlantic was still very low intensity compared to the Japanese siege on the Pacific.
Therefore, the United States is also confident to use newcomers. After all, the German navy is at least 18,000 miles away from the United States across the Atlantic Ocean. Therefore, the quality of the officers and men of these convoy ships is generally not high, which is another reason why German submarines can often succeed.
Imagine the declining quality of the German 6th Army after the expansion. To what extent can it be inferred that the quality of the US Navy after the expansion of the army is inferior. Even such inferiority can only use the word "tragic" To describe. There are even a large number of navies who have not even learned to swim and are thrown onto the cold and choppy North Atlantic Ocean.
After a long while, the newly-trained sonar soldier once again took off his headphones and looked at the officer behind him: "Listen, I can't hear. There is no sound ... it may have gone, Maybe it was me just now, I just heard it wrong. "
So everything was overjoyed, and the nervous officer behind him wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a long breath. He raised his head and looked at the huge fleet behind him through the nearby glass window. This fleet was ordered to replenish food and fuel to Iceland. As for why it is so huge, no one can tell. .
In a huge castle near the French coastline, a group of senior commanders of the German navy submarine force are busy with a huge chart. Germany now has more than 4oo ocean-going submarines, and the submarines performing missions near Iceland The number of 9o ships. These advanced wolves are cruising at sea, using an astonishing sinking ratio to contain the British and American navies.
The German navy is strengthening what they lack, and Redel can finally begin to equip his fragile aircraft carrier fleet with real advanced warships like a true World War II navy general. The service of the new heavy cruiser finally gave the entire German naval surface ship unit its decent artillery equipment. The pressure of the traditional German maritime forces, which was supported by the battleship Marshal Riddle, was finally relieved, and at this time the US Navy was launching more newer aircraft carriers.
"General! General! It is an emergency telegram from submarine U-47." A communications officer in charge of the radio hurriedly sent a piece of highly encrypted information to the corner of the giant chart, which was carefully read. Admiral Dennitz along the entire Atlantic Ocean.
The commander of the navy submarine force, who was once sent to the Netherlands by Akado and secretly formed Germany's first submarine fleet, is now a veritable second person of the Third Reich Navy. His wolves have great achievements, and he himself is a hot general in the German navy.
"Oh? The telegram from Prien?" Dunnitz took the encrypted telegram, turned the page and compared it directly with the translation. His eyes swept over those sensitive texts, then he habitually raised his eyebrows and signed his name Carl Dunnitz at the end of the document.
Then he called his deputy: "Give this document to the Imperial Intelligence Department, reminding me to call General Gascol later, this is a very important intelligence data, the intelligence shows that the United States is helping Iceland British exiles in exile strengthen their strength in Iceland. "
More frequent fleets ... what are you shipping? Dunnitz frowned. He didn't know what his opponent was thinking, but he knew that both Americans and English were trying to break his wolves' advantage under the Atlantic Ocean. This is not a good signal, it is likely that the enemy is planning a counterattack!
...
The original version of the document has not been seen, but the news has been passed to the intelligence agency of the Third Reich Defense Forces, Gascole ’s office, a group of intelligence experts are analyzing this telegram from the distant Atlantic Ocean. Prien ’s submarines have undergone precise calculations, and Americans are now dispatching their transport ships more frequently, and other submarine forces have also confirmed that the number of Allied submarines heading to Iceland is increasing.
What are you transporting? This is a very important question. Obviously, such a large-scale transportation is not to continue the existence of the Icelandic base, but to expand the base and use it on a large scale. This is not good news for Germany, proving that Americans and British are planning a counterattack on the Atlantic.
"Immediately send a message to the spy branches in the United States and Britain to let them find out what the Allies are doing in Iceland as soon as possible!" Gascole knocked on his desk and finally said to his men: "No matter What they have to do, we must all know in advance and stop them! "
In the SS headquarters, Reinhardt also said the same thing with his men: "I don't care what method you use, but you must find out the detailed plans of the Allied forces about the Icelandic base, Then put it on my desk! Act now! Immediately! "
