Chapter 1344 Flashbang

Germany is not only manufacturing large-scale warships of tens of thousands of tons, but also ordinary destroyers, and now the main German destroyers are still over from the Z plan.

Historically, this plan started in 1934, and now, since Hitler came to power, the German Navy has started the shipbuilding plan for new destroyers. In 1936, 16 of the first batch of 16 new destroyers were commissioned. , and their improved models also began to work.

Up to now, the German Navy has 48 Z-type destroyers in service, which are quite large in number and are the main support ships of the accompanying fleet.

This destroyer has a displacement of more than 3,000 tons, has balanced air defense and anti-submarine capabilities, and is used to escort the fleet.

At the same time, in terms of frigates, the German Navy did not have many plans. After the war with the United Kingdom was over, it directly took over the Jianghe-class frigates of the British Navy.

In history, this kind of frigate was one of the main escort ships of the Allies during World War II. Although its armament was relatively simple, its cost was low, its practicability was strong, and its mechanical power performance was outstanding. One of the main escort ships, but also a real frigate.

The main role of this type of frigate in history is to escort the British fleet and fight German submarines in the Atlantic Ocean. In history, a total of about 30 German submarines have been sunk, and eight of them have been lost.

When the United Kingdom surrendered, although Edward VIII, who was loyal to Germany, continued to rule the United Kingdom, this was once an empire on which the sun never sets. Cyric was very vigilant against them. Germany could tolerate the fact that Vichy France had a navy, but it was absolutely impossible. Seeing that the United Kingdom became stronger again, the main equipment of the British Navy was taken over by Germany.

As if at the end of the First World War, all the warships of the German Navy were taken away by the British.

This time with the formation, there is this kind of Jianghe-class frigate. Of course, almost all the crew members are German sailors.

On the Z18 destroyer, Hans-Lüdemann, Captain Linde stood on his bridge and looked at the sea in the distance. It was dark everywhere and could not see anything clearly.

"Our radar can detect weak echoes on the sea, about three nautical miles ahead of us, and our sonar can also hear the sound of the engine of the opponent's submarine." Beside him, the adjutant reported to him.

At this time, the four warships entered the anti-submarine formation, and the speed was very slow, only about five knots. It is also very dangerous to fight against the opponent's submarine in the dark. If you are not careful, the opponent's submarine may be advanced. attack.

The German navy is confident that their advantage lies in their own technology.

The latest radar can detect the echo of the periscope, and the sonar on the bow can also hear the sound of the underwater. Now the target is there, waiting for its own past.

It's just that the current technology is still very primitive after all. If it was during the Cold War, the sonar could accurately determine the position, and now it is possible to shoot torpedoes.

Their anti-submarine weapons are almost also based on anti-submarine depth bombs. Now their four surface ships are lined up in a line, and they want to pull the net and cast depth bombs.

It's just that there are still new methods before the spread!

"Attention, flashbang, one minute apart, fire me!"

Hearing his order, a 40mm Bofors anti-aircraft gun in the stern, stuffed five clips of shells, and then the muzzle almost pointed to the sky above, and then opened fire.

"boom!"

The cannonball flew out from the muzzle, carrying a fiery flame, and flew into the sky. After flying up a few hundred meters, the warhead suddenly exploded.

The bright light instantly illuminated the entire sea.

If it is a 40 mm flare, the brightness can reach 400,000 to 500,000 candles, and the duration is 25 to 35 seconds, which can illuminate a target within a radius of 1 km.

The current flash bomb, which has a similar structure to a flare, is in a fast-burning mode. That is to say, with just one point, all the illuminating agent will burn instantly, and the entire night sky will become as bright as day.

The four battleships were completely illuminated, but no one could see them clearly.

"My eyes!" On the M-98 submarine, Captain Bristof suddenly shouted, covering his eyes in pain.

In the dark, the pupil of the human eye will dilate, allowing more light to enter, so as to see everything in the dark, and now, suddenly there is a strong light, and a large number of photons shine into Bristol Husband's eyes instantly made him feel that his eyes were full of white flowers, and he couldn't see anything clearly!

Damn it, these Germans!

When it was discovered that the other party's large force was turning, Bristol felt something was wrong. Could the other party be able to find itself at a long distance? What's the point of your own sneak attack?

The opponent turned away at a high speed. Even if the Bristol submarine started the diesel engine on the sea, it would not be able to catch up, so he could only give up the chase, and watched several destroyers appear in the opponent's fleet to meet him. .

At this time, he relaxed instead. Since the other party has several warships, he will take advantage of the darkness to kill him!

Even if he exposes himself and creates opportunities for his brother submarine, he must sink the German battleship.

Who would have thought that just as the two sides were gradually approaching, just as Bristof was planning to maneuver to occupy the seat, a strong light suddenly appeared like this.

The sea was white everywhere, and his eyes were also white. At this moment, he thought he was going to go blind.

After more than 30 seconds of delay, he finally recovered. There were concerned eyes in front of him. He stood up again and said to the people around him: "Go back to your post, we are about to start attacking."

He carefully put his eyes on the periscope and continued to observe the other side. In the darkness, the silhouette of the other side gradually increased, and the distance between the two sides was still getting closer.

It seems that the other party knows that they are in this sea area, but they do not know the specific location. They only have one chance, and now it is time to maneuver to occupy the seat!

Just as he was observing and thinking about his next move, a bright light suddenly appeared on the sea!

Damn, why is it here again!

It was a white light just now, and now it is a red light. When the red light appeared, Bristof fell back again, covering his eyes in pain. A stream of liquid came out of it.

What he has realized, the Germans are playing with themselves!
