Chapter 1734: The dancer on the tip of the knife 2

So, the U145 submarine put away the antenna at the top of the control tower, and then drove towards the suspicious target. The submarine approached the target at a surface speed of 12 knots, and soon, through another radio location, Dunnitz found this guy. It seems that it is really mobile? ! It made Dunnitz and others more surprised. "This should be a ship, but it uses the communication method of the Royal Navy Air Force." Lieutenant Plitt said.

"There must be something weird in this," Dunnitz said, and then at this moment, suddenly, the first officer's voice came through the command tower!

"Hurry up and dive! Damn, we seem to have run into a big guy!" The warning from above made the people inside the submarine jump in their hearts. After all, this was fighting in the British territory, although it was foggy. Cover, the submarine itself does not radiate radio waves, but there is still the possibility of being hit by the other party.

Everything was as pre-arranged. The chief mate and several submarine personnel who took people to observe the sea and air conditions with a telescope quickly returned to the interior of the submarine along the ladder. The last person who walked covered the hatch, and the submarine's bow was slightly lowered. Under pressure, a large amount of sea water swarmed into the tank, and the submarine quickly dived into the water, but Dunnitz still ordered the submarine to be at the periscope depth. At the same time, the chief engineer was also controlling the speed of the submarine to keep the submarine at a quiet speed of about 4 knots. After sailing and pulling down the periscope, Dunnitz began to search the sea.

Following the direction indicated by the chief officer, Dunnitz could see through the mist a big slender guy appearing in his 9 o'clock direction, and the opponent's heading should be northeast.

"From the perspective of the ship type, it should be a capital ship. The length is at least about 180 meters. This is definitely a super dreadnought ship! The thing close to the sea level next to it seems to be a destroyer. The one in front should be a light ship. Cruiser." Dunnitz kept adjusting his periscope to track the target.

"But don't you realize that the main deck of this ship is too high from the sea? British people are super fearless but don't have such high freeboards." The chief officer shook his head and said. A ship of this length cannot be fearless, it can only be a capital ship or a cruise ship. From the perspective of the height of the freeboard and the approximate appearance, the chief mate prefers the latter.

"Come and see." Dunnitz handed the periscope to Lieutenant Plitt.

"This is a capital ship. There should be no mistake. If it is a ship, the British will not arrange so many escorts. However, this guy is different from all the British capital ships we have seen before." Lieutenant Special sent a copy of the British Navy Warship Identification Manual.

"The sea fog is going away, let's follow up and see." Dunnitz ordered. So, on the side of the British fleet, a German submarine of no more than 1,000 tons tried to follow, but it was clear that the submarine in a submarine state could not catch up with the opponent at all. The speed of the British fleet increased from 12 knots and quickly increased. To around 18 knots.

"Damn it, it's not normal!" Dunnitz cursed, looking at the looming figure in the mist. Dunnitz is very clear that the British are now very short of fuel. According to internal intelligence, the British Grand Fleet issued an order that the main fleet cannot exceed 12 knots when cruising, while the speed of light cruisers and destroyers cannot exceed 14 knots. . (This is not invented by the author. There are also speed limits in history.) But it is clear that the fleet's target has exceeded the limited speed limit, and it also means to accelerate!

"This is a battlecruiser?" A huge greeting came out of Dunnitz's heart. But at this moment, something unexpected happened to him. The huge battleship in the center of the periscope field of vision actually started to turn. ? ! Coming in the direction of the U145 submarine, Dunnitz was shocked that several planes quickly took off from this huge battleship. This familiar scene made Dunnitz react like lightning, what is the guy in front of him, and the previous doubts are also solved!

"This is an aircraft carrier, this is a British aircraft carrier! They turned, they should be chasing the wind direction, and now they are taking off against the wind! God! What did I see?! This is an English aircraft carrier !" Dunnitz exclaimed. And as Denitz said, this time, the U145 submarine happened to be the aircraft carrier USS Fury, which was training near the Shetland Islands. This aircraft carrier, modified from Fisher’s “Hush Cruiser”, has a huge Body type. It is currently the best aircraft carrier for the British.

"No wonder this ship uses the communication frequency band of the Royal Naval Air Force. That's why." Lieutenant Plitt 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 operations is also different from that of the large fleet, because the carrier-based aircraft aviation power of the German High Seas Fleet is almost obtained from the Kingdom of Bavaria. Therefore, in order to connect Convenient, everything is directly inherited, including this means of radio communication. The British seem to do the same.

"They are releasing the aircraft. This aircraft carrier is already close to our Wittelsbach in appearance, but it seems that the hull width is a bit smaller." At this time, the distance between the aircraft carrier and the U145 submarine was closer, Deng Nitz can already clearly see the aircraft carrier's release process ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ At least 18 aircraft, if you count the aircraft released before, there may be 24. "Denitz probably estimated the amount of aircraft released by the aircraft carrier. Then, the U145 submarine tried to attack the aircraft carrier. However, the huge speed gap made U145 miss the opportunity, considering that he was in the eyes of the British. Under the reconnaissance, it was not easy for the submarine to recharge, so the attack mission was finally abandoned decisively.

"This is an important situation. We need to report to the Port of Kiel as soon as possible." Dunnitz said, but what he didn't expect was that another German submarine U320 was also found in the direction of the Orkney Islands. The aircraft carrier, this is the British second largest aircraft carrier "Hundred Eyes Giant".

So, in just one day, two more aircraft carriers were added to the list of British battleships of the German High Seas Fleet! This has caused a significant change in the balance of power between the two sides, especially in Dunnitz’s report, that the aircraft carrier he encountered was modified with a hull similar to a battlecruiser, and its size was similar to that of Vettel. The Spach is similar to this news! Scheer was very disturbed.

The second is more~~~! Please subscribe for a reward~~~! !
