Germany is not only manufacturing tens of thousands of ton large warships, but also manufacturing Ordinary destroyers. Now the main destroyers of Germany are still over from plan Z.

In history, this plan began in 1934. Now, after Hitler came to power, the German Navy began the ship building plan of new destroyers. In 36 years, the first batch of 16 new destroyers were put into service, and their improved types began to work.

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

The destroyer has a displacement of more than 3000 tons and has balanced air defense and anti submarine capabilities to escort the fleet.

At the same time, in terms of frigates, the German Navy did not have many plans. After the war with Britain, it directly brought the river class frigates of the British navy.

Historically, this kind of frigate was one of the main escort ships of the Allies during World War II. Although its armament was relatively simple, it had low cost, strong practicability and excellent mechanical power performance. It could perform long-range escort tasks. In the later stage of the Atlantic war, it became one of the main escort ships of the allies, and it was also a real escort ship.

The main role of this frigate in history was to escort the British fleet and fight with German submarines in the Atlantic. In history, it sank about 30 German submarines and lost eight of its own.

When Britain surrendered, although Edward VIII, who was effectively loyal to Germany, continued to command Britain, after all, it was an empire that never set the sun. Chirac was very vigilant towards them. Germany could tolerate Vichy and France to have a navy, but it must not watch Britain become strong again. Therefore, the main equipment of the British navy was accepted by Germany.

It was as if at the end of World War I, all the warships of the German Navy were taken away by Britain.

This time, along with the formation, there are such River class frigates. Of course, almost all the crew are German sailors.

Z18 destroyer, Hans ludman, 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 search for weak echoes on the sea, about three nautical miles in front of us, and our sonar can also hear the sound of each other's submarine engine." On his side, the adjutant reported to him.

At this time, the four warships entered the anti submarine formation at a very slow speed, only about five knots. It is also very dangerous to fight with each other's submarines in the dark. If they are not careful, they may be attacked in advance by each other's submarines.

The German Navy is confident, and their advantage lies in their own technology.

The latest radar can find the echo of periscope, and the sonar on the bow can also hear the underwater sound. Now the target is there, waiting for your side to pass.

However, the current technology is still very primitive after all. If it came to the cold war, sonar could accurately determine the direction, and now it can hit torpedoes.

Their anti submarine weapons almost rely mainly on anti submarine deep bombs. Now their four surface ships are lined up to pull a net and spread deep bombs.

However, there are new means before sowing!

"Attention, flash bomb, one minute apart, launch it for me!"

At his command, a 40mm boforth anti-aircraft gun at the stern of the ship was stuffed with five cartridge shells. Then, the muzzle was almost facing the sky overhead, and then opened fire.

"Boom!"

The shell flew out of the muzzle and flew into the sky with a hot flame. After flying up for hundreds of meters, the warhead suddenly exploded.

The bright light lit up the whole sea in an instant.

If it is the light emitted by a 40mm flare, the brightness can reach 400000 to 500000 candles, with a duration of 25 to 35 seconds, and can illuminate targets within a radius of 1 km.

Now, the structure of the flash bomb is similar to that of the flare, but it is in the fast burning mode, that is, as long as a little, all the illuminants will burn in an instant, and the whole night sky will become as bright as day.

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

"My eyes!" On submarine m-98, Captain bristov suddenly shouted and covered his eyes in pain.

In the dark, the pupils of people's eyes will enlarge, allowing more light to come in, so as to see everything in the dark. Now, suddenly, there is a strong light, and a large number of photons shine into Bristol's eyes, which makes him feel white and can't see clearly!

Damn it, these Germans!

When he found that the other party's large forces had turned, Bristol felt something wrong. Could the other party find his own side from a long distance? What's the point of your own sneak attack?

The other side turned and left at high speed. Bristol's submarine could not catch up even if it started a diesel engine on the sea, so he had to give up chasing and watch several destroyers and frigates appear in the other side's fleet to meet him.

At this time, he relaxed. Since the other party came to several warships, he took advantage of the darkness to kill him!

Even if they expose themselves and create opportunities for their brother submarines, they will sink German warships.

Who would have thought that just as the two sides were getting closer and Bristol was going to maneuver to occupy the space, a strong light suddenly appeared.

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

After more than 30 seconds, he finally slowed down. 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're about to start attacking."

He carefully pasted his eyes on the periscope and continued to observe each other. In the night, the outline of each other gradually increased, and the distance between the two sides was still approaching.

It seems that the other party knows his own side in this sea area, but he doesn't know the specific location. He has only one chance. Now it's time to maneuver and occupy the space!

While he was observing and thinking about his next move, suddenly there was another strong light on the sea!

Damn it, why are you here again!

Just now it was a white light, now it was a red light. When the red light appeared, Bristol leaned back again and covered his eyes in pain. His head didn't know where it hit. It hurt very much, and a stream of liquid flowed out of it.

He has realized what the Germans are playing with themselves!
