Chapter 591: The CN numbered transport fleet was attacked
On October 26, 1943, in the bitter cold wind, the escort formation led by Royal Navy Colonel Garrock was turning from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean and slowly moving forward, escorting warships, a light aircraft carrier, 8 destroyers, 3 small frigates, 3 minesweepers and 4 armed trawlers. The destroyer Southampton served as the flagship. They escorted the first fleet numbered by CN - a total of 23 transport ships, carrying 150 tanks, 3,000 military vehicles, 110 fighters, 50 bombers, 40,000 tons of aluminum ingots, 30,000 tons of armored steel, and about 70,000 tons of various supplies, including Spam meat cans, were preparing to go to Algiers to replenish the British and American Allied forces in Eisenhower.
However, the CN-numbered transport fleet is a newly formed transport fleet by the US military, so no record has been left in history.
"Captain Garuk! We have just received a message from the Mediterranean aircraft carrier fleet on the front line. Now our aircraft carrier fleet in the Mediterranean is fighting with the German aircraft carrier fleet, and all our transport fleets in the Atlantic Ocean, including the Mediterranean are being attacked by the German submarine forces, so they require us to be highly vigilant to prevent the German attack!"
Michael Lepson, an adjutant of the Southampton, held a telegram and handed it to Captain Garroke, while saying worriedly.
"Well! Then follow their requirements to be highly alert! I wonder what the battle situation on the front line is now? Only after the defeat of the Sicily Battle, the entire Western Front is now very uneasy! I really don't know when we will defeat those German troops!"
Captain Garuk took the telegram and looked through it, sighing.
Because his mother is British, his blood ties have half of the British bloodline, but because his parents immigrated to the United States, he became an American.
Because he liked the Navy since he was a child, when he grew up he applied for the Navy, joined the US Navy, and became a destroyer captain through his diligence.
"Okay! Captain Garuk! But we only have one light aircraft carrier to escort. I personally feel that our air defense firepower is not sufficient, so if we encounter a German air strike, it will probably be very troublesome. So should we review some shore-based aircraft to escort Eisenhower or the Navy Commander Cunningham and come to escort the aircraft carrier?"
Adjutant Michael Lepson suddenly suggested.
"I agree with your suggestions, but I don't know if these experts will dispatch aircraft carriers and aircraft to support and escort? Because there is a fierce naval battle in the Mediterranean, and we have not been attacked by German aircraft or submarine forces yet, so..."
Captain Garuk was not very confident.
"Let's try our best! Because we are transporting a lot of military supplies and weapons and equipment. If we really encounter a large-scale attack from the German army, we will be in great trouble. Moreover, these military supplies have many benefits to revitalizing Commander Eisenhower's troops, so I think he should pay more attention! Moreover, it is not easy for us to transport here from the Pacific Ocean!"
Adjutant Michael Lepson responded in a comforting tone.
"I hope that's the case! I hope God bless us!"
Captain Garuk nodded and replied with a prayer gesture.
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
As soon as the words were finished, the deafening explosion sounded suddenly in the area of Captain Garuk and his team. Then the two small frigates around them were instantly bombarded by several Japanese spear torpedoes and into two parts. At the same time, 30 Qinglan attack aircraft soon appeared above them, bombing.
“Woo woo woo woo woo…”
Not good! It was the German submarine force and the air force attack! Everyone should fight!"
"How could this happen? Why didn't our sonar and radar discover these German submarines and aircraft in advance!"
"It's an interfering wave. The German army used interfering waves to interfere with our radar detection!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
In an instant, the entire CN-numbered transport fleet became chaotic, and various shouting and combat command sounds were drowned out in the deafening explosion sound.
The German army is also trying to use deceptive radar interference and passive deceptive interference to interfere with the radar detection and sonar detection of CN-numbered transport fleets.
As for these interference methods, you can use Baidu to do so and omit it here.
When the CN-numbered transport fleet was attacked by the German Iranian 400 series ocean submarine force and bombed by Qinglan attack aircraft.
Under the praise of his confidants, he was full of energy and complacent; he thought he was the number one captain in the world, but he didn't know that his aircraft carrier fleet would soon face a large-scale attack from the German army and become a floating object under the Mediterranean seabed to feed fish.
