German submarines have always been top secret.

When the submarine is in the base, it is in the cavern. No one will see it at all. When the submarine sails or returns, it will either sail at night or dive directly into the cavern.

As for the ocean, unless it is absolutely safe, it is in the state of vent pipe. Therefore, up to now, the outside world has no idea of the shape of German submarines. It has long abandoned the hull like structure that pays attention to surface navigation and changed to the shape of elongated water droplets suitable for underwater navigation.

At the same time, the ventilation pipe used by German submarines is also a great secret, which has not been known by the outside world at all.

In addition to Germany, submarines in other countries are also the most common diesel electric submarines.

When sailing on the water, the diesel engine is used to power the submarine and charge the battery. When underwater, it can only rely on the battery completely.

Therefore, Soviet submarines, like ordinary surface ships, are floating most of the time. They will dive only after they find prey and attack and exit. This is also a common operation scheme for submarines in this era.

At this time, the m-98 submarine was floating on the water. Two diesel engines were rumbling. On the submarine's command tower, the lookout post was looking at the sea in the distance.

The Soviet Navy couldn't wait to copy the German tactics, ambush the German fleet at sea and avenge their Black Sea fleet, but now they found that they still faced thorny problems.

For example, how to find the enemy fleet?

In the vast sea, it is not easy to find the target, especially at night.

German tactics cannot be copied. German submarines besieged the Soviet Black Sea Fleet at the door of the Black Sea Fleet's home. At that time, they were parked in the port. As a result, they were ambushed after leaving the port.

Germany relies on intercepting Soviet intelligence in advance to arrange ambushes. At the same time, German submarines have advanced sonar equipment to detect their whereabouts.

But the Soviets can't.

The German fleet is sailing on the Black Sea. It is difficult to find the German fleet in such a large sea area. They have no intelligence support and can only rely on themselves.

Although there are sonars on submarines, they are the most primitive and backward, with a very limited range. Now, they can only rely on luck.

They have good luck.

Just before midnight, at midnight, the lookout post suddenly shouted, "I found the water target, 30 degrees on port!"

When the fleet sails in formation at night, it will turn on the navigation lights. Only in this way can the formation see each other clearly. Otherwise, it is easy to lose or collide in the dark.

Now, what the m-98 submarine finds is the lights on the sea. As long as you see those lights, you know it's a fleet!

When the surface ships and naval aviation of the Black Sea fleet have been killed, the formation on the sea can only be German!

"Attention, prepare for battle!" Bristol was extremely excited: "dive and raise the periscope."

The m-98 is a class I small submarine. There are only more than 20 people operating it. Now, after receiving the order, the lookout post goes down, drills back into the command tower and covers the top. Then, the more than 300 ton submarine dives down into the water like a big fish.

Attack, it's about to start!

At the same time, the m-172 with him also found the German target almost at the same time and began to dive into the water. Everyone's heart is full of excitement. For them, the task is great, and they want to avenge the fleet!

The periscope stretched out of the sea and drew a rolling spray. At this time, they found that the target fleet actually began to turn!

Stuttgart.

At the top of the bridge, the huge radar antenna is rotating. Each revolution refreshes the target data.

This is the latest air and sea search radar developed by Germany. By adopting the latest transistor processing circuit, the processing capacity of sea clutter has been greatly improved.

Like now.

"Found two small targets on the water." The radar hand looked at the two small echoes flickering on the screen and reported loudly: "the target tonnage may be about hundreds of tons, less than 20 nautical miles away from us."

Just then, the two small echoes suddenly disappeared.

"Are you dazzled?" Asked the officer on duty.

"No, I'm sure it must exist. It was just on the radar screen. Now it disappears. There's only one possibility!" The radar hand said, "it has dived. If it is close to a distance of five nautical miles, my radar can find its Periscope!"

The radar hand was quite sure, and the news was immediately reported to mashar, who had fallen asleep.

At this time, mashar was lying on a comfortable bed in his clothes. When he received the report, he almost jumped up and instantly turned into a sober state.

Suspicious echo found, suspected submarine? After receiving the news, mashar immediately issued an order: "leave two A-type z-class destroyers and two frigates to sweep away the Soviet submarines here. Other warships in the fleet immediately turn their course and turn 60 degrees east. Let's make a detour."

At the beginning, Gorshkov would not have lost so much if he had not been entangled with the submarine forces. After all, surface ships have great speed advantages. It is no problem to soar up to 30 knots, and the higher speed can even exceed 35 knots, so the submarine can't catch up at all.

Now, of course, mashar will not take his whole fleet to play hide and seek with Soviet submarines. Four destroyers and frigates are enough to deal with them. The rest turn and leave!

At some times, mashar was quite adventurous and even desperate. For example, he went out to bomb the Soviet aviation base on the island. At other times, he was cautious, such as now.

It is unwise to expose our huge fleet to the threat of submarines. Although our warships have carried out additional protection under the water, it is OK to be hit by a torpedo, but it is not good if they are hit on the propeller or rudder.

As long as a few destroyers and frigates can deal with it, there is no need for our main force to take risks.

With his order, the huge German fleet began to turn. Only two z-class destroyers and two river class frigates were separated from the fleet and went to intercept.

On the dark sea, an anti submarine battle was launched.
