"Even in the most optimistic situation, we will still be hit hard. It is really powerless." Lieutenant General Duff said with a sigh.

　　 "This is the best result. We have made the best plan. Let us give the rest to the officers and soldiers and the God of Heaven." Jericho said with a smile.

Under the cover of night, everything went according to Jericho's plan. The Thomas fleet began to quietly leave the previous position to prepare to join the main fleet, and at the same time, the decoy target fleet also went to its reserved position. Prepare for strategic deception.

　　 And what are the two Allied fleets doing now? After sending a very important telegram to Count Spey, Crown Prince Ruprecht ordered the fleet to enter radio silence and light control, and continue to sail west. And Earl Spey is pacing back and forth in the flagship command tower to consider whether to implement the plan that has been planned in his mind for a long time!

　　 However, in the Norwegian waters, in addition to some heavyweight players, there are also some seemingly insignificant guys who are also busy. These are the camouflage reconnaissance ships and submarines deployed by the Germans here. Although there will always be some loopholes in an overly complex system, the facts have proved that the system is much stronger than a single confrontation, so with the progress of human civilization, the advanced party will always have a more complete system!

And as the fleets of both sides are getting closer and time is approaching the critical time of engagement, the German auxiliary forces deployed in the Norwegian Sea have also shrunk. Near the final zone of engagement by the German Navy, at least 30 submarines have been in place. , And fulfilling their responsibilities in the dark night!

"If I am still performing the task of breaking the traffic in the Atlantic Ocean, then I can contribute at least another 20,000 tons of record." Standing on the deck of the U460 submarine, Dunnitz was breathing the smell of sea air while watching. Looking at the sea in the distant darkness. The night is a paradise for submarines. Under the conditions of World War I, they can act unscrupulously at night, and it is even possible to surface and use torpedoes to attack warships that are not tightly guarded!

In the dark, it is naturally impossible for German submarines to search for targets only by sight and searchlights. At night, they also use radio lateral to passively confirm targets. Now, behind Dunnitz, several German naval officers are standing up. Set up a huge antenna to receive radio signals from the British fleet.

"God! Is the main force of the large fleet next to us?" The radio operator exclaimed when the antenna had just received the first radio communication. He didn't need to know the specific content of the telegram. He only needed to know the call sign and frequency band. And the reporting method is very similar to the Jericho flagship. In less than 2 minutes, after the radio operator reconfirmed, Dunnitz and others immediately returned to the submarine with a rolling crawl and made an emergency dive.

"The situation is a bit wrong." After repeatedly fitting the radio lateral results, Dunnitz felt a little confused. If the distant radio signal is really the British fleet, then according to the results of the ranging, the U460 submarine The flagship is estimated to be less than 10 kilometers away! What is this concept? The British fleet is more than 10 kilometers in full deployment, and under normal circumstances, it should be close to the inner circle of the British fleet. Not to mention that the surrounding area is full of warships above light cruisers, at least there are some destroyers, right? But now? No hair!

　　 As for how does Dunnitz judge the situation outside? At night, you can't rely on your eyes, nor can you directly turn on the light to find it. The former is unrealistic, and the latter is too dangerous. However, new German submarines of this era have been equipped with early passive sonars and listeners. This thing finds the difficulty of the submarine in the water, but if there is a large-scale fleet maneuvering around, then you can hear the noise like a vegetable market through the listener, after all, it is the sound wave produced by hundreds of warships maneuvering! But strangely, Dunnitz found that the sea was very quiet!

　　 "Head, how do we report?" the chief officer asked. The main task of the submarine force this time is to investigate. Since it is found that the situation is not right, it will naturally report to the peak, but how to write this report? I found the call sign of the British main fleet, but there is no ship around?

　　 "This is a trap! This call sign is fake, and the British fleet doesn't know where it is hiding now!" Dunnitz said. "To send a telegram to the headquarters, it means that we discovered that the British may use other ships to use telegrams to disguise the main force of the large fleet and report their position."

　　 "Then what shall we do now?" the chief officer asked.

　　 "Float, follow the source of the telegram, if we can, let's get closer!" After hesitating, Dunnitz decided to take a risk because he just inferred from common sense that there should be no British fleet around, but what if he guessed wrong? Sonar and hydrophones are not so reliable in this era! It may be your own life if you rush to float up~lightnovelpub.net~ and enter the semi-submersible state. Let's leak the antenna so that we can send or receive signals, and at the same time we can dive quickly. "An officer said.

　　 "Let's do this first." Dunnitz nodded in agreement. However, shortly after U460 floated again, Dunnitz received a telegram, and the telegram was sent by the submarine U471. This submarine was also performing a reconnaissance mission and was only 6 kilometers away from him! The submarine also found the source of the radio signal that suddenly appeared!

　　 "This is a trap! The British are conducting radio spoofing! The main force of their large fleet is hidden!" After reading the telegram, Dunnitz said categorically! Because the U471 submarine is too close to itself, if there is a large fleet nearby, you will definitely not be indifferent to the two submarines that are in a semi-submersible state! The British's radio direction finding is also very powerful, at least they can find their approximate location, and then use a destroyer to drive themselves back underwater is sure! They will never tolerate exposure of their position! So there is only one answer, this is a bait! A trap!

"Immediately send a telegram to the headquarters to report our judgment." Dunnitz ordered. Of course, he still dare not make too much publicity at this time. The reason is simple. With the wealth of the large fleet, even if it is just a bait, it may be Arrange for the destroyer to provide protection, so at this time, it is better to keep a low profile. Dunnitz decided to continue tracking the source of the signal while searching the surrounding waters to see if there are other sources performing similar tasks!
