In addition, the radar, sonar and communication devices of Chinese submarines far exceed the technical level of any existing U-boats in Germany. Radar, in particular, is a weakness of the German navy and air force, and in this area of technology, apart from the modern equipment on submarines,
In addition to equipment, China also exports specialized radar technology to Germany.
In terms of overall performance, Chinese submarines have the advantages of "fast speed, good concealment, and strong attack power" and are much more advanced than submarines of other countries in the world today.
"General, we have China's strange dragons and ghost dragons. Next, it's the British who will cry!" Colonel Friedrich Redsos, chief of staff of the German submarine force and assistant to General Dönitz, climbed out of the "weird dragon"
"Dragon" said excitedly after the gangway.
"Who says it's not the case? If we encounter the British fleet again, we will definitely beat him up, right, General?" Before Dönitz could answer, another colonel beside him, Karl Tonide, rushed to say.
Karl Tonide was the commander of the Third Submarine Group. In February 1918, when Dönitz served as the captain of U-25, he was the torpedo commander of U-25. Every time Dönitz made progress, Karl was there.
.Including Tonide’s contribution. Therefore, the relationship between Dönitz and Tonide was quite good.
"It would be great if the Chinese could ally with the Third Reich..." Dönitz said indifferently.
"Oh, this is not something we can decide. It depends on what the Chinese think." Colonel Friedrich Redsos shrugged, saying there was nothing he could do about it.
"Two colonels, how did you feel during the three weeks in China?" Dönitz asked, looking at the seagulls flying freely in the morning sun in the distance.
"How do you feel about China? Chinese people are very hospitable, Chinese food is delicious, there are too many Chinese beauties, and their skin is delicate." Carl Tonide thought for a while and replied.
"Yes, Tony has a lot of experience. However, this is also the reason why you can only become the commander of a submarine fleet, but I can become the commander-in-chief of the submarine force. Mr. Chief of Staff, what do you think?" Denny
Ci turned to look at Friedrich Redsos and asked again.
"This is a country full of vitality and even a bit mysterious. Their navy is well-trained. Although they don't have much combat experience, it can be seen that they are very capable!" As the chief of staff of the submarine force, Redsos has to think carefully.
farther away.
"General, how do you feel?" Colonel Karl Tonide asked. Although Dönitz's words just now were a bit rude, Karl Tonide was not angry. He is such a person and cannot live without good food anywhere.
With beautiful women, the creed of life is to live happily every day.
"The commander-in-chief of China, General Wu, talked with me about wolf pack tactics for two hours. He is a tactical genius! No, he is a strategic genius!" Deng Fici said.
"Oh? What does General Wu think of our war with the British?" Colonel Friedrich Redsos immediately became interested in talking.
"The British? General Wu believes that the British are no match for Germany. But..." Dönitz hesitated, because he remembered Wu Aihua's words criticizing the head of state and he could not say it out loud.
Wu Aihua did express some opinions on Germany's previous operations. For example, the Dunkirk evacuation has now shown relatively serious consequences; for example, the Third Reich's air force's bombing of Britain did not have accurate timing, especially on land and sea.
The air force's cooperation was very poor, and it failed to seize the moment when Britain was at its weakest and immediately carry out landing operations at all costs; for example, the newly opened North African battlefield seemed a bit haphazard, and the rhythm of the war was changed by the selfishness of the Italians.
"...However, he has some suggestions for our submarine force." Dönitz decided not to say anything. "Mr. Chief of Staff, you have to come up with a new combat plan quickly. We have a strange thing on our hands."
A powerful weapon like the Dragon 1 must be given to the British to try."
"Okay, General, I will come up with a combat plan as soon as possible." Colonel Friedrich Redsos said immediately.
However, before Colonel Redsos's plan was formulated, their fleet was about to start a battle.
More than a thousand officers and soldiers of the German submarine force suddenly disappeared in Europe, but thousands of serious-faced soldiers speaking German suddenly appeared in Eastern China. After a little analysis, the British knew that the officers and soldiers of the German submarine force had arrived in China.
What were they doing in China? The British accelerated their intelligence collection, and eventually they came to a shocking conclusion: German submarine officers and soldiers were going to China to receive a batch of submarines.
Go to China to accept submarines? Does China have submarines? This conclusion shocked the British. Most British naval personnel did not believe that the Chinese had submarines that were more advanced than Germany.
In the impression of the British, the Chinese army can defeat the Japanese and is regarded as an army with good combat effectiveness; but if their navy or submarines are comparable to Germany, the British will not believe it anyway.
However, as time went by, it became an unassailable fact that the Germans went to China to receive submarines (Wu Aihua is suspected of deliberately spreading the news. Otherwise, with the intelligence capabilities of the Fengjia Bureau leading other countries in the world, the British would not be able to grasp the information about the Germans in China.
Any detailed intelligence on China's activities). Therefore, the British decided to eliminate these submarines that had not yet been committed to the Atlantic battlefield on their way back to the Atlantic.
On December 18, 1940, Dönitz left Guangzhou with 70 submarines purchased from China.
Originally, it would have been best for the British to attack the submarine as soon as it left the South China Sea, but in the end the British did not dare to do so. Because at this point in the war, the British also understood that if they pushed China into the Axis Powers, it would
It was a nightmare for the British. In addition, the Chinese seemed to be very hospitable. Their fleet had been escorting the submarine purchased by the Germans into the Andaman Sea before the two fleets separated.
When the Chinese South China Sea Fleet arrived in the Strait of Malacca, the British Fleet in the Indian Ocean had already deployed a large "pocket" between the Andaman Islands and the Nicobar Islands, waiting for the German submarine force to drill into it. Because where the Chinese fleet is located
, is where the German submarine is located. At the port of Lion City, British spies saw with their own eyes more than a dozen Germans coming ashore to cooperate with the Chinese in purchasing supplies. Afterwards, through the hazy night, British spies also saw the floating Germans in the harbor.
submarine.
In order to annihilate this submarine formation that was very likely to pose a threat to the British, the British used all possible means.
First, they deployed thousands of mines on the western edge of the Andaman Sea near the Nicobar Islands. These mines were hidden in water of varying depths, like lurking hunters. As long as a German submarine passed by, they would
They will rush forward and deliver a fatal blow.
Secondly, the British used hundreds of fishing boats from Sumatra and Malaya, and used dozens of fishing boats as a unit to take charge of an area of the sea. They stared at the sea 24 hours a day, as long as they saw the slightest trace of a German submarine.
Or a periscope or something, and immediately send a message to the British fleet.
Once again, the main force of the British Indian Ocean Fleet, the battleship Rodney and the aircraft carrier Centenario, led 4 heavy cruisers and nearly 30 light cruisers, destroyers and 12 T-class submarines, and were patrolling the western waters of the two archipelagos 24 hours a day.
Go on patrol, ready to encircle and annihilate this submarine force that has never had combat experience.
Under normal circumstances, with the British arrangement like this, it would be difficult for the German submarine to escape the fate of being annihilated. However, the situation in all aspects of parallel time and space has long been abnormal.
In fact, almost all the information obtained by British intelligence officers was deliberately let them know by the National Defense Forces, or was deliberately arranged. For example, the submarine that surfaced in Lion City Port was not a German submarine at all, but China's own
Submarine formation; as for those Germans, are there still too few "Germans" in the Wehrmacht system? The intelligent biological robots exchanged from the "meritorious system", except for those in the later period are mostly Chinese, the experts in the early stage are almost all Germans
Not only do they have German faces and speak extremely smooth German, but their habits are 100% authentic and accurate. Even the Germans themselves cannot say that these people are not Germans.
The distance from Lion City Port to Nicobar Islands is about 1,600 kilometers or 900 nautical miles. The British calculated based on the fastest submarine speed at that time, which was 20 knots on the surface and 11 knots underwater.
, German submarines need at least 60 hours of continuous navigation. Therefore, when information came from Lion City Port that German submarines were replenishing there, Lieutenant General John Nekoba, commander of the British Indian Ocean Fleet and commander of the "Far East Hunting" plan, was happy
He said: "Gentlemen, we have 40 hours of leisure time left, and then we have to beat up the German pigs!"
However, when Lieutenant General John Necobar said this, Dönitz's submarine formation was quietly crossing the Nicobar Islands. As for the mines placed by Lieutenant General John, most of them were in waters 30-180m deep.
As for Dönitz and the others, they were sneaking forward at a depth of 220 meters. How could they possibly touch a mine?
On the evening of January 3, 1941, China time, Dönitz led 70 submarines to safely pass the waters of the Nicobar Islands, and then repaired in a sea area about 200 kilometers west of the islands.
In the early morning of January 4, a Chinese transport fleet was divided into three parts in the waters of the Nicobar Islands, sailing toward Mauritius to the southwest, Colombo to the west, and Calcutta to the northwest. It seemed to be delivering goods to the above places.
Three hours later, the transport fleet heading towards Colombo discovered the British battleship Rodney and a dozen light cruisers and other auxiliary warships. One of the destroyers and two torpedo ships caught up and conducted a routine attack on the transport fleet.
examine.
The Chinese transport fleet is impeccable and the cargo procedures are all complete. Moreover, these goods are sent to the British naval fleet, including canned beef, canned fruits, Chinese liquor, biscuits, beer, ham sausages, battlefield fast food, etc.
As always, the Chinese are very hospitable. The British gave the British two boxes of each item, which totaled nearly a ton of goods. However, in the face of the loading capacity of this 10,000-ton ship, this 1 ton of goods was
It is as simple as pulling a truck of fruit and throwing a fruit at the checkpoint.
