Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 161: U Boat One Thousand and One (Part 1)
""="('')"="()">
"This boat looks more than seventy meters long, my head. Net..." Weierle marveled at the size of the submarine in front of him.
"Accurately speaking, it should be eighty-four meters. There is still a part of her tail that has not been exposed to the surface." Xu Jun looked at the new submarine with shiny paint in front of him with satisfaction. This will be the sharpest sea edge in Germany in the future. The super weapon of the entire era.
The submarine crew has long been prepared to receive the head of state. The entire submarine has been carefully cleaned from the inside to the outside. The soldiers are wearing neat white summer parade gowns and gather on the pier in front of the submarine. Ten sailors lined up into three rows, fifteen officers and non-commissioned officers of various ranks stood at the forefront of the ranks. The captain stepped forward to stand at attention and salute, and then loudly reported to Xu Jun.
"All the officers and men of the U1001 of the German Navy's 100th Submarine Group have assembled, waiting for your review, my head of state."
"Captain Karl Manuel Heinke, I am very happy to see you again." Xu Jun raised his scepter in return and said to the captain with a smile.
"Your Excellency still remembers my name, it makes me feel extremely honored, my head of state." Captain Heynke replied respectfully.
"I have been paying attention to your record. If you hadn't been transferred back to serve as an experimental task, you should be able to decide the outcome with Alto Krezimmer." Xu Jun stretched out his hand and held Heinck. Said his hand.
"Ashamed, my head of state, that was just a joke between me and Captain Alto. Captain Otter is an excellent commander, as good as Captain Prien."
Xu Jun changed history and also changed the fate of the German submarine ace. 40 years is the golden age in the history of German submarine warfare. At this time, the anti-submarine equipment and corresponding tactics of various countries have not been perfected, and many of them are just drafts on the design drawings. As long as the captain of the German submarine is not dizzy, he can almost do whatever he wants in the sea. Nothing can stop their sneak attack, even the seemingly heavily armed escort.
The arrival of Xu Jun has made this "happy time" even more glorious than in history.
Although the German submarines have achieved great success during this period of history, they did not use any new tactics. The submarines still fought alone as they did during World War I, relying solely on people and luck to intercept and attack.
Denitz’s wolf pack tactics are still being explored at this time. In history, a series of experimental battles were not carried out until around the end of the year, and the complete wolf pack tactics had to wait until four or a year later, but At that time, it was approaching the end of the golden age. Britain and the United States had already developed targeted equipment and tactics. Although the German submarine had the same success. But the losses also started to rise straight at the same time.
This time Xu Jun directly took out the full version of the wolf pack strategy, and he was determined to take advantage of this happy time. Go all out to completely strangle the opponent, whether it is tactically or technically, it must crush the target, and absolutely will not give the opponent any chance to breathe.
Xu Jun not only released the ferocious wolves early, but also gave full support to them. This is different from the submarine forces that were pitifully run by a bunch of bigwigs in the early days of history. This time the Luftwaffe and Navy Give them the greatest degree of support and cooperation. The long-range reconnaissance aircraft and large seaplanes of the Air Force have become the eyes of the fleet. The surface ships of the Navy not only launch raids, but also provide cover and support for nearby submarine forces at any time.
There are as many as fifteen support ships that are professionally refitted to provide submarine supplies and maintenance. Two large maintenance ships also carry maintenance teams transferred from the shipyard. The special production machine was directly loaded onto the ship, and in good sea conditions, the technicians could even cut out the gear sets and structural components needed by the submarine on the spot.
The Eye of Odin of the Command Department has exerted extraordinary power in the strangulation at sea. The target fleet information they provided to the Submarine Command even included the shipping manifest and crew list in detail. In this environment, the genius commanders in the German submarine team had no worries at all. Sufficient information and material support made them feel like a fish in water, completely turning the Atlantic Ocean into their private playground.
Attacking the transport fleet has now become a kind of competition. The captains scrambled to send those large and small ships into the abyss of the sea like a target, and ranked according to the total score tonnage. The final winner at the end of the year will be congratulated by everyone and receive a large bonus.
Perfect sea supplies have greatly extended the safari time of submarines, and the pressure of competition between the fleets is too great. Many submarines will reluctantly turn the rudder and return only when they have mechanical failures that cannot be repaired. For example, Prien's U47 has been at sea for a full month and a half at the moment, during which he has filled up three times. Forty-two torpedoes have been added.
"All stand at attention!" Captain Heinke shouted out the order, and the submarine officers and soldiers immediately stood up and paid attention to Xu Junxing. Xu Jun paced steadily past the front of the team, and the young sailors desperately made a serious and firm expression to show their courage and intrepidity to the head of state.
"I am very happy now that I can see such a well-trained team here. You have strengthened my belief and firmly believe that our great revival will be successful. With you, a group of brave and determined fighters The German Third Reich will surely win the final victory. You are glorious German naval fighters. You are driving the best submarines in the world. You must be invincible. You will pour the German nation on those despicable enemies. The anger of the empire sent all the enemies who were obstructing the advancement of the empire into hell.
God has given me this sacred mission, and he will also bless all the warriors who fight for this sacred cause. You should be proud that you are in this glorious age, because history will record everything we do now, the great German history will be created by you, me, and all of us, and we will regain everything we lost. Of glory. "
Xu Jun stood in front of the navy officers and soldiers and gave an impassioned speech. He pointed the expensive marshal's rod at the soldier and the submarine behind him, and waved it twice to increase the power of those words.
"Hi! Reinhardt!"
Where did the young sailors have experienced this? Most of them were fresh graduates from the sea school. They never even dreamed of meeting the head of the empire, and they personally delivered this exciting story to them. Speech. These soldiers trembled with excitement, and some of them even burst into tears. They raised their arms to pay tribute to their leader while shouting slogans of allegiance.
Xu Jun nodded solemnly at the soldiers. Then he erected his marshal's rod to greet the soldiers. The soldiers quickly stopped calling, and everyone present stood upright and saluted Xu Jun.
"Captain Heinke!" Xu Jun shouted loudly.
"Yes, my Führer." Heinke replied excitedly.
"You have a group of very good subordinates, and you also have one of the best submarines in Germany. I look forward to your leading them. Create a glorious record that matches them."
"Yes, my head of state." Heinke lowered his head and agreed.
"Now please lead me to visit your battleship. Soldiers can go to rest first, leaving the person in charge of each post to answer my questions."
"Yes, my head of state." Heynke turned his head and whispered a few words to the deputy captain, and then issued an order to disband the crew. Xu Jun only took Weierle and Disenhofen on board the U1001 submarine under the leadership of Raidel and Heinke.
As mentioned above, this submarine is a new model improved on the basis of the U-type submarine at the end of World War II. It has never existed in history. It is a super magical version designed by Xu Jun personally. . The length of the boat has been lengthened to 84 meters by Xu Jun, and some shadows of the original shape can be vaguely seen in the shape. But in fact it is far different from the latter.
At the end of World War II, Germany continued to explode various black technologies, but the submarine was a rare and reliable product among a bunch of weird works.
The German naval submarine force had been miserably beaten by the Allied Sea-Air Anti-Submarine Combat. German submarines hardly dared to surface in enemy-controlled areas. Under this combat background, the experts of the German Navy believe that in the face of increasingly rampant air threats and the endless emergence of anti-submarine equipment from the Allies, the existing equipment can no longer meet these current challenges, so it is necessary to develop a A new submarine, and a change across the age must be made in her.
The new generation of submarines should have excellent underwater maneuverability and underwater endurance. It can conceal and approach the enemy during a long period of submarine, and must have sufficient underwater speed to successfully seize the launch position in the submarine state. At the same time, this submarine must have excellent underwater observation equipment that can accurately be underwater Attack the target.
This submarine must also be able to fight at sea for a long time, and have an ultra-long self-sustaining ability that exceeds all existing ordinary boat types. These indicators are all formulated in response to the powerful counter-potential of the Allied forces. It can be said that it is an innovation forced by the cruel reality. The submarine experts of the German Navy never thought about it. In the end, this submarine turned out to be a unique proof of the German strategic vision~IndoMTL.com~ until the post-war period. For a period of time, ocean-going fleet submarines were still the mainstream in the submarine world. Post-war submarines still focused on good surface navigation capabilities, and would only conduct submarines when required by combat.
In the eyes of the Allies, the Germans became a crooked way of the Germans in the face of a doomsday struggle. They only randomly selected a few interesting technologies on the submarine. The rest was buried deep in the ruins of the empire along with those contemporary inventions.
When the naval submarine forces of various countries began to develop into ocean-going strategies, underwater mobility became the mainstream for the first time. When people looked back and looked at the information, they discovered that someone had proposed similar theories for a long time. At this time, her true value was finally revealed. People can't help but sigh the creative ability of the Nazi era. They once again came to the front of everyone.
The Germans do have their own unique talents in the development of submarines, and they have found the right direction for submarine development.
