Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 248: The ocean-going submarine U 106

The German ocean-going submarine force has not received much attention from senior figures in the German world before the war. Even Hitler, who is sought after as a visionary, only uses the submarine force as an auxiliary deterrent force. He is so happy. The main line of sight was placed on the huge, majestic and majestic surface ship. The head of state believed that the great ship cannon was the best example to prove that Germany was reviving in his hands. ●⌒,

As a result, in history, it was not until after the war started that Hitler discovered that the unwelcome submarine forces had achieved brilliant results at sea, and the surface ships that had once placed high hopes on the surface, on the contrary, made a fool of themselves. At this time, the Nazi government began to fully develop the submarine force. Unfortunately, when it really took shape, the golden hunting season for submarines had come to an end. The huge wolves only enjoyed the happy time for half a year, and then they started being The Allied forces are buried by an endless stream of new anti-submarine weapons.

However, now that the new head of state comes to power, the German Navy has started the development of new equipment early. It is conceivable that the future German submarine force will be stronger than the original historical ones. However, before the new submarine was launched, the German ocean-going submarine force could only rely on the old foundation to sustain the scene.

The ocean-going submarine U106 was originally the backbone of the second boat group. This submarine was launched at the latest. All ix-class submarine manufacturing plans after her have been stopped by the new head of state, and it is said to be ready to empty the dock. And resources make every effort to build a new type of submarine.

For this kind of rumors that cannot tell the source of the news, Captain Hank. Captain Robin has always disapproved of this. In his opinion, this ix-b ocean-going submarine is already the crystallization of German shipbuilding art. He is not convinced that there will be submarines beyond this model in the short term. His u106 can easily dive to a depth of two hundred meters underwater, at that depth, the anti-submarine tactical equipment at this time basically can't play any role. Because the sinking speed of depth charges is limited, when it swayed and sank to a depth of two hundred meters, the submarine would not know how far it went. This ocean-going submarine carried 23 torpedoes with a surface speed of 18 knots, surpassing most ocean-going cargo ships, and had a range of 12,000 nautical miles. You can make a round trip from Scarpa Bay in France to the coast of North America. As long as food and ammunition are sufficient, this submarine can continuously fight at sea for 20 days without adding any fuel.

This is an ideal submarine, a sophisticated war machine. The perfect combination of human and technology, a landmark work in the development of German submarines. Because of price and productivity issues, this submarine has only been built in history with 14 submarines, which is completely inferior to the more famous model, but her record is sufficient to prove its design success. Because when the war ended, the 14 submarines had an average record of more than 100,000 tons, and most of these records were the result of free hunting by a single boat. The German ocean-going submarines were all ferocious lone wolves, and they rarely knew collectively. action.

And in Hank. Under the command of Captain Robin, the fierceness of u106 surpassed those in the boat team. The crew agreed that this hot-tempered captain should go to the Caribbean as a pirate, but it is precisely this. This special leadership temperament enabled him to gain the support and love of all crew members and officers. Under his command, the crew on this submarine is like a big family. Everyone knows their own responsibilities, and they work together as one person. In a closed combat unit like a submarine, this is the guarantee of combat effectiveness.

The water quality of the southeastern coast of Africa is exceptionally clear, even surpassing some parts of the Mediterranean. Through the sea, you can clearly see the seabed 20 to 30 meters deep. A shipwreck full of bullet holes lies on the side of an ancient coral reef. The lifeboat ropes on the davit are complete and still maintain the appearance when they were just sunk. And directly above the sunken ship, Hank, the commander of the submarine U106 of the German Navy. Captain Robin. Sitting comfortably on a recliner placed on the back deck of an ocean-going submarine, enjoying the summer mixed drink prepared by the chef.

"Head, what's new in the newspaper." Private Brudo asked, standing beside the captain, holding a copper brush in his hand. At this time he and other gunners were preparing to clear the 37 mm single-barrel gun on the rear deck.

"There is nothing new. They are all articles touting Petain. The French government is preparing to move back to Paris." Captain Robin put aside the newspaper in his hand, then took a sip of his drink.

"Igor! There is less rum in it again." The captain smacked his lips and exclaimed.

"We don't have much inventory anymore, just go on like you. When we arrive in Jakarta, we will have nothing left." The chief officer leaned on the fence of the control tower's artillery platform and said loudly to the captain.

"Wait a moment, go to the French to buy some supplies. They have more wine than ammunition on board." Captain Robin stood up, pushed the parasol above his head, and walked under the command tower.

"If there is no new mission today, I am going to go around the island this afternoon." The chief officer made a request.

"There is nothing beautiful about this place, except for the indigenous people, which are dense jungles. I think you still follow that French boat to the port of Moroni. There are good restaurants and hotels. You can also stay on the island. Stay on one night." Captain Robin offered his personal opinion.

U106 is now stationed on the southeast coast of Comoros Island, which has been a French colony since the eighteenth century. One of the rules of the German-French Paris Agreement is that France opens all colonial ports to the German Navy and provides necessary logistics and supply services. U106 had previously docked in Port Moroni, the capital of the island, for a day, allowing the soldiers to go ashore to relax, replenish some fresh food and top up fuel. Because the command of the command clearly required the submarine to stay at the southern end of the island on standby, Robin took the submarine to the shore of the other end of the island and stopped, but there was a man named Centini nearby. In the small fishing village of the harbour, German sailors can go ashore in shifts and buy some food made by the locals themselves.

"Speaking of it, it's been two days, how come there is no news at all?" Robin raised his head and looked at his first officer.

"I'm also waiting, sir. The last telegram ordered us to stay here for three days. Today is only the next day. I guess there may be a new unit to join our formation."

"Oh, God, don't mess with us anymore, that French heavy artillery submarine has fed me enough."

"I have to remind you again that now our two countries are allies, and we are now on their territory."

"Pull it down. It's a big deal I do it alone."

"I support you, you will definitely be eaten by General Deniz. He hates the captain who disobeys the order the most, so this submarine will be under my command." Lieutenant Igor said with a smile.

"Dreaming. I'm not that stupid. Speaking of why the French communication boat hasn't come yet, today is the day to receive mail, I still have a bunch of things for them to send me back to China."

"Are you talking about the tattered pile?"

"It's works of art, antiques, historical heritage. A layman like you wouldn't understand it." Captain Robin drank the drink in the glass and put it in the arms of a sailor beside him. .

"Get me another glass and let the fat man add more rum to me."

"Yes, sir." The young sailor smiled and saluted the captain, and then quickly climbed up the control tower.

"I hope that there will be our supply ship in the united unit this time. The spare parts for the engine are almost used up, and some batteries need to be replaced. There are not many ammunition. We used too much that day. Cannonball."

"The gunners lack live ammunition shooting experience. It happens that there is such a target in front of you, how can it be wasted." Captain Robin straightened his cap, turned his head and shouted at the gunner who was maintaining the artillery: "Aim at the target !".

"Tear them apart!" The gunners echoed loudly, shaking their fists.

"You see." Captain Robin shrugged his shoulders to his first officer.

They were talking about the battle with the shipwreck under the ocean floor. At that time, u106 just turned from the other side of the island and encountered the passing Australian ocean tugboat. The Germans thought that the two sides had ceased the war, so it greatly Fangfang did not dive. What the Germans did not expect was that the Australians even set fire on the German submarine after a turmoil. The armed trawler was equipped with only a two-pounder gun and a Lewis machine gun, and the firepower was not strong. But it is enough to hurt some vulnerable parts of the u-boat.

Fortunately, the training of the Australian sailors was too bad, and the shooting level was too rough. Fortunately, u106 did not suffer any substantial damage in this sudden attack. The furious German sailors responded quickly. The end result was that the Australian tugboat was shot by German submarines for a full half day. Eventually the tugboat sank to the bottom of the sea, and not a single Australian abandoned it to escape. In fact, the Germans knew very well that they were bombarded by a 37mm, two 20mm anti-aircraft guns and a 105mm naval gun. In fact, during the second round of strikes, there should be no living persons on the tugboat.

"Report, the telegram just translated. Sir." The radio communicator climbed up the control tower with a telegram paper.

The chief mate took it and read it again, then bent down and handed the telegram to the captain.

"The advance team of formation c? What is this organization? New unit?" Hank. Robin reached out and stroked the back of his head.

"Well, Igor, it seems that your prayer this week has worked. There is a supply ship, Grouse, old friend, do you remember that old William?"

"Leave that alone, did you really notice?" Lieutenant Igor looked at his boss with a defeated expression.

"Notice what?" Robin blinked at the first officer.

"Next, look at the third name in the formation list."

"U1001? What's wrong?"

"God~IndoMTL.com~ haven't you seen the signal from last month?"

"You know I only watch the joke version inside."

"In that issue, it was specifically mentioned that the new German submarine number may be four digits. This may be the legendary submarine... Well? What is your expression?"

Captain Robin was squinting his eyes at this time, his arms wrapped his fingers around his chin, and he was wondering what a conspiracy looked like.

"I'm going to flip out my camera, right, will you go to live on the island tonight?" Robin raised his head and put a standard business smile on the first officer.
