In ship operations, the requirements for various operations are different.

For example, if a battleship wants to fight, it is best to turn to the side, so that all its main guns, whether they are on the head or the stern, can twist over and knock on the opponent. If the opponent fights, only the front can use it.

It is also because of this that France strangely put all the main guns of its Dunkirk-class warships in front.

When aircraft carriers release and recover carrier-based aircraft, they need to take off at full speed against the wind, so that carrier-based aircraft can be released as fast as possible and safest.

At the same time, if it is an anti-submarine operation, it is necessary to take a low speed, zigzag route, and search the sea surface repeatedly.

In this way, it is impossible for the fleet to take into account all the operations.

At this time, the main warship was using naval guns to bombard the aircraft, while the aircraft carrier was launching carrier-based aircraft.

On the periphery of the fleet, although the destroyers wanted to carry out anti-submarine operations, they could not keep up with the route of their aircraft carriers. In this way, the formation was a little disconnected.

This disconnect creates opportunities for the submarine.

There were more than one submarine from Helmut that had been secretly approached. The German Navy had a total of six submarines cruised in the Mediterranean.

This is of course due to Helmut's early discovery of the movements of British warships and sending back the signal at the earliest. Otherwise, the submarines that were far away would not be able to catch up.

Even so, only four submarines came on the way, and the other two were a hundred nautical miles away. By the time they arrived, the battle here would definitely end.

These four submarines have been occupying positions and waiting quietly. Helmut has guessed the reason why Berlin refused to attack in the early morning.

The British fleet and the French fleet fought. The scene should be as popular as possible, and the spectacular as possible. In this case, it would be nice to watch the fun on the side.

It was not until they received the order from Berlin that they immediately turned into an offensive state, and Helmut's submarine was aiming at the Cyclops aircraft carrier.

Now, of course they have to do the big ones first! Those aircraft carriers and battleships are their targets. As long as they kill these, small destroyers will not be afraid.

In this era, communication between submarines is a difficult problem. If a submarine wants to send a message, it can only be in the water state. Helmut sends the message back to Berlin, which is a risky sending it under the water state.

Yes, it's just adventure. The sudden appearance of radio signals will make the enemy alert and expose the whereabouts of the submarine. In the history of submarines' combat, there are definitely more than one submarine killed because of telegrams exposing the target.

Fortunately, the British did not notice this time.

At the same time, receiving signals also requires the depth of the periscope.

For submarines in World War II, most of the time, the radio was in a monitoring state, that is, in the reception state. Anyway, they were not nuclear submarines, so they would never sail underwater for a long time.

Now, they were in the depth of the periscope, quietly waiting to watch the show, until Berlin sent an order, and immediately launched an attack!

The first launch, with only one hit, had already seriously damaged the opponent. Helmut was not worried about the safety of his submarine and ordered to continue loading the torpedo and prepare for the next attack!

At this time, British commander Lieutenant General Somerville discovered that he had made an unforgivable mistake and ignored the underwater threat!

In fact, what he was most worried about was the threat above his head. After all, the German Air Force bombers were too powerful. They were a decisive kill on British warships, so their operation was also quite risky.

But he didn't expect that the German plane did not come, but the submarine came first!

"Destroyer, where is our destroyer? Develop anti-submarine immediately, and unfold immediately!" He shouted loudly: "The German submarine is near us!"

The torpedo's range is not far, and the German Navy's submarine forces have always been very bold. In order to pursue hit rate, they often like to get close to and release torpedoes.

Just after shouting, a lookout whistle shouted loudly: "The port side is 60 degrees, two nautical miles away, you will find the periscope!"

The discovery of the watchtower arrived in time. Almost after he finished reporting, a destroyer next to him rushed up at full speed and prepared to throw anti-submarine deep bombs. This is the most common anti-submarine weapon of destroyers and the most common anti-submarine weapon of this era.

At the same time, the destroyer had not yet started. At the gun position below the aircraft carrier here, a 130mm naval gun roared. Since the opponent had a periscope depth, it must be not too far away. Their own shells would also pose a threat to the opponent.

No matter whether you can kill the other party or not, at least you must scare the other party away first!

During World War II, German surface ships were not strong enough, and in the end the German Navy had to vigorously develop submarines and created wolves in the Atlantic Ocean. It was very popular in the early days, but soon it was shattered by the Allies.

After all, a submarine can never defeat a surface warship. It can be said that at most a submarine is just a thief and can only hide in the dark and make small moves.

Submarines are just one part of naval weapons and cannot be used as the main force.

It was originally an anti-ship combat, but now it has been changed to an anti-submarine combat in a hurry. The British fleet is a little confused.

The naval guns are no longer concerned about firing. If they are hit by torpedoes while firing, it will be more than worth it. First, determine the safety of the nearby waters!

The Cyclops aircraft carrier was seriously injured. Although it was just a torpedo, it was just the foundation of a merchant ship without any attack. At the same time, it was also because the opponent's torpedo was too perverted and had amazing power. Its three sealed capsules exploded!

The hull was tilted, and the entire crew was working hard to save the aircraft carrier.

It has lost its combat power.

Only the Eagle aircraft carrier on the side was left. At this time, the carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier was hurriedly unloaded the torpedo and turned to the anti-submarine deep bomb. They could also participate in anti-submarine operations when necessary!

The torpedoes removed can only be temporarily stacked on the deck, which is messy on the deck.

Doing so is a violation of the regulations, but on the battlefield, the situation is urgent and many regulations are ignored.

Even the lookouts turned their attention to the sea. In addition to the lookouts, there were also a large number of crew members who were also on the railings outside the deck to observe the sea.

They ignored the sky!

Germany promised to help the French navy, so they had enough ability to help! At this time, in the Mediterranean, there was no strong German naval formation. What they could rely on were submarines and the other, bombers!
