To be honest, Prion felt that if it were not his own life, it was too good, that is, the Japanese luck was too bad. He carried a total of 16 torpedoes in his submarine, and he has been fighting for 3 consecutive days. Eight torpedoes sank 7 Japanese transport ships.

He even suspected that he had entered the full set of Japanese, because for several days, there was no Japanese destroyer to chase him down. This is simply unimaginable in the icy North Atlantic waters. Prien felt that the Japanese did not seem to anticipate his arrival, but he faced danger many times and developed his cautious style.

"Left full rudder, change course!" He gave the order while looking at the precious chart in his hand. The above is the water depth map near the occupied area of ​​Australia, as well as the main routes and the mine area arranged by Australia. Because of the distrust of the German navy, the Australians provided only a detailed map of some sea areas, while the map of the east coast is still only a rough route map.

However, this "half" map of Australia's surrounding waters has allowed Prien to add nearly 30,000 tons to the record of the transport ship he sank. And he didn't even see the shadow of the **** Japanese destroyer. Compared with the icy North Atlantic, this is simply heaven.

"It looks like we have good luck." Prian leaned against the sonar soldier's chair and said to his first officer with a smile: "I think, at least here, the Japanese organize anti-submarine warning nets, and it takes half Months ... We have a good time of about 10 days to enjoy. "

"Isn't it? I haven't had such a pleasant hunting operation for a long time." The first officer said very relaxedly. When he was on the Atlantic Ocean, he and Prien had to maintain a tense state at all times, because they often encountered the anti-submarine destroyer of the other party, and even some merchant ships were equipped with weapons, which made them like thin ice, they can only be careful battle.

Although there is a good time for operations near the Arctic Ocean, the amount of Soviet anti-potential force should not be underestimated. After all, the Soviet Union can organize an anti-submarine barrier on the westernmost side, greatly shortening the anti-submarine defense line. So the good times passed quickly, and hunting in the Arctic Ocean became difficult.

Sometimes Prien feels like a plague. He will make the other person feel uncomfortable wherever he goes. He destroys the human blood transfusion system like a virus, cuts off the opponent's transportation line, destroys the "blood" carrying nutrients, and finally makes The enemy died of excessive bleeding. So his opponents also used the fastest time to find the area where he was active, and then used the craziest means to drive him away to ensure the absolute safety of his sea transportation routes.

After the same lesson happened to others, obviously it would not make any deep impression. After the British suffered heavy losses by German submarines, the Soviets still did not learn to carefully guard the German submarines; wait until the German submarines let the Soviets remember the submarine After the terrible battle, the German submarine commander happily discovered that the Japanese still did not take the German submarine into their eyes.

There is a professional who prays every day that everyone ca n’t see him, so that he can do his job better-this kind of person is called an assassin; there are also people who pray every day that everyone ca n’t find them, so they can Can get more medals to sink more enemy ships-these people are submarine officers and soldiers.

If possible, Dunnitz really wanted to pat Churchill's shoulder a few months ago and said: "You just don't exist as my soldier, okay?" But these seemingly unremarkable submarines are in the Atlantic Ocean. It has created a record that is comparable to any fleet.

From the end of 1937 to May 1938, in almost half a year, German submarines sank more than 1.8 million tons of U.S. ships that had been impersonating British ships, with an average of more than 300,000 tons per month. It is necessary to know that the total tonnage of German submarines is only 600,000 tons, and they have destroyed their enemies three times their total tonnage, and they have not lost much.

This exaggerated record is not actually created by the submarine officers and soldiers alone, which also includes intelligence personnel far away from the United States, who provided reliable information about the departure of the ship to Dunitz; and also included the butcher reconnaissance force stationed in France. These long-range aircraft have been flying for more than ten hours to help German submarines confirm the exact location of the opposing fleet. When the German submarine officers and soldiers finally launched the offensive, in fact they had already secured the victory. This tactic was finally completed with the help of Akado and became the standard attack procedure of the Dunnitz underwater wolf pack.

However, in the Far East and the broad Pacific Ocean, German submarines do not have the spy-web-like spy network in the other port to provide intelligence, nor the specific location of the other fleet provided by the large reconnaissance planes. Ways to find the target you will attack.

Despite these difficulties, although the damage to the submarine even in remote areas is not necessarily repairable, the Germans still started their operations according to the orders. They were loyal and rigid, and their strict character gave them Submarines with a very low failure rate also give them an inherent military temperament.

Of course, the good news is that there are too many Japanese ships here, so many people can find their targets without having to bother to find them. The Japanese army does not pay attention to submarine operations. If their carrier commanders are If the arms of the ship's giant guns can't twist their thighs in front of them, then the submarine commanders have no chance to speak at all. The Japanese did not believe that submarines could bring destruction to transportation routes, just as they never believed that aircraft carriers could sink battleships.

There are too many Japanese transport ships, passenger ships full of soldiers and merchant ships, and cargo ships carrying ore rubber and even slaves. There are even large fishing boats and warships that are not at all alert. Such a good combat environment even allowed the German submarine captains who were used to firing when they saw the opportunity to start picky eating. Prien has successively released two small boats of about 2,000 tons in order to save torpedoes to attack more valuable targets.

Just yesterday, a submarine captain who had not caught up with the Arctic Ocean hunting operation had emptied all the torpedoes and was forced to return. This unlucky guy developed a problem in the British **** operation in the North Atlantic, that is, when he saw a ship without escort, he habitually came up with a torpedo. As a result, after he ran out of ammunition, he found that there was still a stream of Japanese ships, and he realized that he had made a serious mistake.

He could only return home in a precarious way, taking his submarine back to the east coast of Australia, where he replenishes 10 new torpedoes, and then came out to continue his mission-because the torpedo supply ship is still far in the South Atlantic, Dunnitz I didn't expect the Australian torpedoes to be used so quickly. If Akado reminded him, he could not even remember that Australia's submarines needed ammunition supplies.

So before the new torpedoes arrived, the German submarine force in Australia had a total of more than 80 torpedoes, of which 32 torpedoes were a returning submarine and the “materials” left by a malfunctioning submarine, and 48 torpedoes were destroyers. There are also supplies from the supply ship, because other materials are needed, so the amount of ammunition is really limited.

"Sir! I found a battleship! The silhouette is bigger than the battleship!" The sergeant who replaced Prion on the sea search task shouted loudly, which was definitely a big fish for them. So he was a little excited, after all, if he sank another warship, their legend would be more perfect.

"Larger than a battleship?" Prian hurriedly leaned towards the periscope and gently rotated his hands on the grip, and soon saw the huge battleship in the distance! This is a battleship! Prian immediately had a general understanding of the target in his mind. He is now so skilled that he can see the other party's tonnage at a glance, so he is not confused by the exaggerated superstructure of the Japanese battleship.

A distinctive feature of the Japanese battleships is the tall and cumbersome superstructure. Military enthusiasts describe this battleship bridge design as an "unauthorized building", so it seems that the Japanese battleships are far more than other national battleships of the same period Taller, it ’s no wonder that Prien ’s Master Chief would say that the sentence is bigger than the battleship.

"Silhouette ... It's kind of like ... Fuso class!" The master chief murmured, looking at the less detailed comparison of the enemy battleship silhouette. Unlike the detailed comparison of the British battleships, this Japanese battleship's silhouette comparison is much simpler and rougher. Obviously, Germany is not fully prepared for Japan's battle.

"It's the hibiscus class! That superstructure is really ugly! My God, do these Japanese people have any beautiful concept?" Prien used the periscope to aim at the Japanese battleship driving in the distance , Said with a frown. Obviously, he was disgusted by this ugly Japanese warship. Compared with the fairly regular silhouettes of British warships, Japanese warships are not enough to describe them as ugly.

"I would like to say more about you, my captain Colonel Prien." The adjutant asked with a bit of laughter: "First the Baram and Monarch, then the battleship Hao, then the Ukrainian, and now again Here comes ... Are you a magnet? A battleship magnet that attracts the other battleship? "

Prien was slightly stunned, and then touched the tip of his nose rather embarrassedly: "Maybe my luck is better?"

"Mr. Magnet with good luck." The adjutant laughed and yelled, then shouted loudly: "Adjust the torpedo! Everyone, prepare for battle!"
