The first step of wolf pack tactics is to use submarines distributed at sea to find the enemy's transport fleet.
The breadth of the sea is unimaginable. For example, even in later generations, it is difficult to find the enemy's aircraft carrier formation. In this era, it is also difficult to find the transport fleet.
Therefore, we should engage in submarine naval warfare, arrange some submarines to patrol the other party's possible channels, and once found, immediately notify other submarines and go up together to fight!
At this time, under the telegram of submarine u-107, five or six submarines nearby were hurrying towards its reported position.
Bering Sea, waters near ATU island.
"The Soviets were so clever that most of our submarines were emptied." On submarine u-107, Captain Gunther Hessler said.
The Arctic route is still used by the Soviets. After all, it is the most effective route to support them, and the only way is the Bering Strait.
The Soviets deployed most of the limited anti submarine ships near the Bering Strait. Some anti submarine aircraft were also waiting nearby with anti submarine deep bombs, and could get the help of American anti submarine aircraft at any time.
In this case, the risk of German submarines attacking the Bering Strait has greatly increased. Therefore, they can only retreat to the second place and patrol the waters of the Bering Sea to find the trace of the fleet.
After starting from the west coast of the United States, they need to cross the Aleutian Islands. Generally speaking, it is the most economical route to cross near the easternmost unimark Island, but the Soviets took a big circle, bypassed the westernmost side of the islands and went back.
There is a lot of stress in such a round. The main submarines in Germany, that is, those patrolling in the eastern Bering Sea, were all rounded.
The u-107 submarine was also cruising to the east of the Bering Sea and passing near ATU island.
At this time, Hessler looked at the fleet in the periscope.
Many cargo ships are brand-new. This is a free ship manufactured by the United States according to industrial standards. It has a displacement of 7000 tons and a speed of only a dozen knots. Its biggest feature is assembly line production, which is very fast.
Throughout World War II, the United States built nearly 3000 free ships in 18 docks, which fully demonstrated the industrial heritage of the United States.
At present, we have spared no effort in supporting the Soviet Union. If the United States did not give blood to the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union would definitely lose. Therefore, the United States often supports dozens of Soviet free ships.
Now the fleet is composed of more than 30 free ships.
At the same time, in order to protect the fleet, the Soviet Union also used six warships to escort the whole formation.
At the forefront is the anger class destroyer vigilance. This destroyer with a displacement of more than 2000 tons is the hometown of the Soviet Far East fleet. This warship is also the backbone of the Soviet Navy. Nearly 30 have been built before and after, with a large amount of equipment.
Two 25000 horsepower steam engines can make the whole warship soar to a high speed of 40 knots. Under normal circumstances, its cruising speed is about 15 knots. Now, it is sailing slowly at a speed of 10 knots, so as to be consistent with the cargo ships.
On the bridge, bearded captain Boris was carefully observing the sea with a telescope.
"Did you find anything in the sonar room?" Boris asked.
Such anger class destroyers originally did not have submarine detection equipment, but now their main task is anti submarine. Therefore, recently, these warships have been equipped with submarine detectors provided by the United States (asdic, which is a British saying, which is later uniformly called sonar. Now it's still easy to shout.)
Although they took a new route, Boris was still very careful. For him, it was his most arduous task to send the whole cargo ship to his destination safely.
"No, everything is normal underwater." The chief mate Isakov said, "Captain, you are too careful. This sea area should be nothing. Our biggest threat is the Arctic route after crossing the Bering Strait."
Since the first attack, almost every attack they encountered was on the Arctic route. Therefore, it is said that now they don't have to make a detour at all. Isakov is very puzzled.
"Yes, but we won't go through the Bering Strait this time." Until now, Boris finally said the most confidential news: "we no longer take the Arctic route. For maximum safety, we will continue to sail westward, unload at the Soviet port in the Far East, and then transport our materials by railway."
The Arctic route is too dangerous. Although the Soviet crew are not afraid of sacrifice, they must face the reality that the losses on the Arctic route are too great for them to bear, so they can't take any more risks.
Directly transport materials to the Far East and then transport them by railway!
Railway? Hearing his words, isaacfton opened his mouth: "is this so OK? The Far East Railway is already quite heavy, and there is no excess capacity to transport so many materials! "
Now, the Far East is the great rear of the Soviet Union. After several wars, the Western Front suffered heavy losses, and the Soviet Union has constantly mobilized its troops on the eastern front.
This has overwhelmed the railways in the Far East. So many materials can only be transported by sea and by railway, which is simply impossible.
"We don't need to worry about it. In order to avoid being found out, we need to keep it confidential." Boris said, "after passing through the southern waters of the Kamchatka Peninsula, we enter the Okhotsk Sea to the north, and then cross the Tatar Strait to reach the Soviet port."
This route is still a detour. It is the nearest to go directly to the Strait in the north of Hokkaido, but it may be found by the islanders. Therefore, in order to keep it secret, they decided to make trouble.
Their route really avoided most of the threats. The huge German submarines set up ambushes in the Bering Sea. They were destined to wait in vain. If the u-107 didn't happen to meet, they might get nothing.
However, the Soviets were even more unfortunate. If they knew that the Germans had established a submarine base on the island north of Hokkaido, I'm afraid the Soviets would not choose this far east route anyway.
It's like throwing yourself into a trap and asking for hardship.
In the middle of the formation, on a free ship, a sailor lay on the side of the ship and looked at the sea in the distance with a high-power maritime telescope.
They have been scared by German submarines. As long as they are idle and bored crew members, they will observe the sea as watchmen.
