Chapter 882 Discovery of Submarines

The status and position of the island countries determine that they will inevitably regard the Pacific Ocean as their battlefield. The island countries' navy also needs to be able to gallop across the Pacific Ocean. Unfortunately, the power of the island countries is still not strong enough now, so they built large submarines to make a difference in the Pacific Ocean.

Of course, historical facts can only show that the submarine troops of the island country existed like scumbags, with no record of combat. After all, the navy's surface ships even caused the Pearl Harbor incident, which made the island country excited for a year or two as if it was injected with chicken blood.

The submarines of the island country did nothing.

This is also related to their ideas. Now, German submarines have begun to pay attention to underwater speed, which makes the submarine have the most suitable underwater body shape, resulting in the underwater speed exceeding the overwater speed.

However, the submarines of the island country still spend most of their time on the water.

For example, now, the water speed of this Yi-74 is quite powerful at 23 knots, but it only has a speed of 8.2 knots underwater. At the same time, when it enters underwater, even if it travels at a speed of 3 knots, it will only have a range of 65 nautical miles.

These defects are destined to be able to maintain a water navigation state in normal times and only dive when attacking. This is the biggest difference from German submarines. Now, German submarines can only float at night at most, and most of the time, they are in the snorkel state.

This time, they had completed the mission successfully. They could have been able to lie down at night and go back slowly. However, recently, the US Navy in the Pacific suddenly went crazy looking for submarines at sea. In order to prevent accidental injuries, the base camp asked them to return quickly and stay away from right and wrong.

In this way, they can't sail underwater with batteries at low speeds, float on the water surface, and use diesel engines to drive to a high speed of more than 20 knots, and they will go back in a few days.

Saburo stood on the command tower and observed the sky. Soon, he discovered a black dot in the distance, flying towards him quickly!

"Report, a suspicious target was found." Saburo shouted below.

"Continue to observe." said the captain **.

Now, we are on the way back, and in a floating state, even if we find any suspicious target, can we still attack ourselves?

"Yes." Saburo continued to open his eyes wide and looked at the target in the sky in the distance. Soon, he realized that it was an American seaplane!

Before the emergence of radar, reconnaissance/observation aircraft played the role of the fleet's eye. These aircraft deployed on coastal bases or ships were able to search hundreds of miles of water in the air, monitor the actions of enemy submarines and surface ships, observe the bombing points for their own warships, carry out shipwreck rescue, etc.

The Chance Water Company, founded in 1917, is the main manufacturer of the US Navy's sea observation aircraft. It produces a series of pirate carrier-based biplane aircraft, equipped on American cruisers, destroyers and other warships.

Now, they have developed the latest model, the single-wing Os2u-1 Kingfisher reconnaissance aircraft, which was designed and manufactured in 37 years and gradually delivered to the US Navy in 38 years.

Pilot Chris, sitting in the front seat, and behind him, in the wide open-view cockpit, was his companion Schroeder, who served as the tail guard gunner and a radio operator and observer.

The 450 Malipe-Hue r-0985-48 star-shaped air-cooled engine in front is rumbled, driving the reconnaissance aircraft to fly over the sea. At the same time, the two people's eyes kept turning to the sea.

Half an hour ago, they ejected from the destroyer of the mothership Lawrence Taylor. Their mission was very clear, which was to search for German submarines on the sea!

A few days ago, a cargo ship from the United States was destroyed by unknown targets while crossing the Pacific Ocean. Almost all facts were determined to be the Germans. Now, they need to pull out the German submarines and sink them!

Let the Germans know that the Pacific Ocean is not their stage!

However, this is also difficult. After all, they have received the exact news that the German submarines have all equipped snorkels, which means that they can't see the situation where German submarines float on the sea surface at all, and can only see a small snorkel.

If the time is delayed by another one or two years, waiting for the development of radar technology and underwater sound listening technology, they can more easily discover German submarines. Now, they do not have surface search radar to scan the snorkels on the sea, and they can only use their own eyes!

They flew very low, and they kept searching for the sea surface while flying. This was definitely a needle in a haystack. At the same time, more than a dozen teams were searching aimlessly like them, hoping to find the target.

Suddenly, Chris in front was excited: "Before, I found a submarine in a floating state on the sea!"

As a pilot, you must have a pair of sharp eyes. When he discovered the submarine there, he was extremely excited. He searched for everything without any effort!

Living in the small space of submarines for a long time, smelling the smell of diesel in the air and the continuous noise of the engine can easily cause submarine soldiers to suffer from various psychological barriers. Especially, German submarines bypass half of the earth, they must be even more lonely. In a safe situation, it is absolutely possible to float up and blow the sea breeze.

Finally caught by one's side!

He pushed the throttle lever, and the engine in front burst into a bigger roar, flying towards the opponent at the highest power state.

"What flag are they flying?" After flying for a few kilometers, I could see more clearly and I could see the high flag fluttering in the wind, but I couldn't see clearly what it was.

Schroeder in the back seat poked his head out, facing the airflow, and tried hard to observe.

"Black, I saw black on it, it looked like a black 100-character flag. Well, there was also red, red bottom, black, which was the 100-character flag!" Schroeder said confidently.

"Quick, send a telegram to our mothership. We discovered the German submarine. It is currently in submarine state, with a position of 27-0-36, and request an attack!" Chris shouted excitedly.

The Germans are so careless and so arrogant!

Navigating on the sea and dare to hang the national flag, aren’t they looking for a beating? Don’t think it’s all right if it’s a floating voyage!

Kingfisher reconnaissance aircraft is not just a reconnaissance aircraft, it can also carry weapons.

At the nose of the front end of the nose, there is a fixed Browning.30 machine gun, and there is a pitch-turning .30 machine gun behind it. At the same time, there is a bullet rack under each of the two wings of the Kingfisher. Now, there is exactly 1 100-pound aviation bomb each.

When Chris thought of these sneaky submarines and wantonly attacking the cargo ship, he was furious.

The Pacific Ocean belongs to the US Navy and cannot be allowed to rage the Germans!
