Chapter 1523 Dazzling

Sonar is not reliable.

The silent performance of submarines in this era is not good, and it is impossible to reach the level of the ocean black hole of later generations. Not to mention pump jet propulsion, the basic seven-blade large skew propeller cannot be produced, so there must be some noise. .

However, in contrast, the performance of sonar is also backward, lacking advanced electronic technology, the range of sound that can be heard by sonar is very small, and it lacks the means of analysis and processing, so it is normal that sonar cannot hear the noise of submarines.

At this time, it is very important to have more lookouts and carefully search the sea surface. What if the lookout can find the snorkel and periscope on the sea surface?

This is the same as setting up observation posts for air defense early warning.

In fact, if there is a mature sea search radar, the periscope used to scan the sea is the best, but unfortunately, for the same technical problem, as long as the wind and waves are slightly larger, the clutter on the sea cannot be filtered out.

The naked eye is the most accurate.

With this thought in mind, sailor Christis carefully observed the sea, searching little by little, and finally, on the sparkling sea, he seemed to have found something.

He quickly adjusted his telescope, zoomed in, zoomed in again, and when a clear image appeared in the eyepiece, he finally exclaimed: "Thirty degrees on the port side, five nautical miles away, and found a suspicious target, possibly a submarine periscope!"

His voice was like a click of thunder in a sunny day, and the entire formation was instantly alerted.

Countless binoculars looked at the direction he indicated and searched the sea. At the same time, in the middle of the formation, a destroyer was at full speed and greeted it. The depth bomb launcher at the rear was ready.

But, nothing.

"Christius, did you read it wrong?" The captain stood in his position and looked at the sea with the same binoculars, but found nothing, so he couldn't help frowning and asked.

"No, I can see it very well," said Christis. "There must be submarines, there must be submarines!"

He was convinced that he was right.

"Well, it seems that you've been too nervous recently. You can go back to the cabin to rest, get a good night's sleep, and come back on duty tomorrow." The captain said, "Come on another person."

Are you really too nervous? Christis shook his head helplessly and walked towards the direction of the cabin.

This ship carries the most important equipment, which is said to be the anti-tank weapons that are urgently needed on the front line. There must be no mistakes. In the entire fleet, their pressure is indeed the greatest.

"If the German submarines show up, they will definitely attack us," the captain said. "Nothing to make a fuss about."

Unbeknownst to them, they made a serious mistake.

underwater.

"It was so thrilling just now, I could almost see the sailor looking at us from the periscope." On U-107, the deputy captain Ruth said: "So I quickly put the periscope down."

"Actually, if we had just started, we could have killed a few cargo ships," said another chief mate.

Heisler shook his head: "We just couldn't do it, we couldn't eat so many cargo ships on our own, we had to kill all the cargo ships at once, and surrounded them like a pack of wolves. Now, we will Keep up with their fleet while waiting for our companions to arrive. Now, activate the AIP system."

If it is an ordinary submarine, it is no problem to keep up with the cargo ship on the surface. After all, the speed of the cargo ship is quite low, but it cannot be tracked for a long time, because the power of the battery of the submarine is quite limited, and after a period of time, it has to float and charge.

And now, the submarines after the U-100 are all AIP submarines. They use Stirling engines and can sail at low speeds for a long time, keeping up with their surface cargo ships, no problem at all!

The propeller at the tail of U-107 was turning, stirring the sea water gently. The noise made by the submarine was almost inaudible after it spread to the formation of the cargo ships. After the formation of the cargo ships left, it followed behind again. That made the people on the submarine even weirder.

"It's already past Attu Island, and they haven't turned around yet. What do these cargo ships want to do?" Ruth couldn't help asking.

"I think they are going to change the route and transport the goods directly to the Far East." Heisler made such a judgment, and after saying this sentence, everyone present was happy: "That is to say, in the future, we only need to Is it possible to hunt down Soviet transport ships near the base?"

At the beginning, there was only one nuclear submarine, and it could only roam the Arctic route. Therefore, the Soviets simply went to the Far East for transportation. Now, Germany has established nuclear submarine bases on the four northern islands of Hokkaido. The Soviets did not notice, so Designing a route, that's just plain stupid.

It's a pity that the submarines patrolling in the Bering Sea are going to be empty. Fortunately, there are several submarines behind, which can be intercepted head-on as soon as possible.

A day has passed.

For the Soviet sailors, every day was like a year, and every day that passed, he breathed a long breath and lived another day.

When the sun rose again from the eastern sea, the entire fleet could already see Kamchatka Peninsula on the starboard side.

The soviets are near.

"How, did you sleep well last night?" When Christis stood on the observation deck set on the side of the ship again, a voice came from his ear.

"Fortunately, it seems that I must have been blinded yesterday." Christis said.

If the German submarine was seen yesterday, it would have been attacked yesterday, and as a result, it has been calm until now.

He must have been dazzled, which made everyone nervous for more than an hour. Now, Christis is quite guilty.

"It's okay, lad, work hard." The captain patted him on the shoulder: "Everyone needs a process to mature. Don't be under pressure, just keep working."

The captain returned to his captain's room, and Christis put his eyes on the telescope and began to observe again.

what is that?

Christis rubbed his eyes and looked again.

Exactly the same as yesterday.

The sparkling sea is shaking, and on this sea, there is a thin cylinder-like thing half a meter high. This thing is churning with the waves, but it is as stable as a mountain. Isn't this a periscope?

No, he must be dazzled.

Christis doesn't believe that he has such luck, and he swept it away? In that case, he would be the man chosen by God to warn the entire fleet.

Turn to other seas and look again.

When he turned the telescope more than ten degrees and searched again, he adjusted the focus and the field of vision became clear, but it was still the same scene!
