"Hell! How could we be discovered?" At this moment, the commander of the Allied "Alpine Dog" transport fleet was a pitiful question that repeatedly appeared in the minds of the commander of the Allied "Alpine Dog" transport fleet. They carefully planned various scams, and even many sailors on the transport ships did not know that the destination of this action plan was Iceland.

They used countless fraudulent means and even used some fake news to confuse the Germans. But now it seems that all their efforts have been wasted, and the German wolves are waiting for their arrival on this route.

"Boom!" When another explosion came from a distance, the Allied commander, who was deeply trapped in fear, pulled out of his thoughts. In this short moment, he seemed to have heard something different from this explosion.

But in such a short time, he was unable to find where this slight difference existed. On that side, the British and American destroyers were accelerating their turn, and the entire fleet had begun to be in chaos and collapse. So he quickly turned around and ordered loudly to his assistant: "Let the fleet keep its course! It's dark, and if it gets messy, it will be a disaster!"

"God of General, if I still maintain the course and speed in the face of the enemy's torpedo, then I think it will be a disaster." The assistant said to the general in panic.

"Bastard! Are you a commander now, or am I a commander? Order the fleet to keep the course! If anyone dares to turn randomly, I will sink it!" The fleet commander shouted loudly, and then he suddenly realized what was wrong at that moment, so he turned his body in surprise and looked in the direction of the explosion of the ship with a strange look: "Nothing is right! Something is wrong!"

It seemed as if I saw a French meal when I was hungry, as if someone gave me a soft pillow when I was sleepy, as if... In short, this Allied commander who thought he was the most unlucky person in the world a moment ago, but at this moment I suddenly felt the favor of the God of Destiny.

"The explosion did not continue!" He suddenly shouted loudly. Then his eyes finally found his soul and wandered back and forth in his eyes. At this moment, he was extremely excited because his fleet seemed to be saved again.

There are two tactics used by German submarines. One is the single-boat cruising and ambushing tactic. To put it bluntly, a submarine is walking on the sea and sinks whatever it encounters. The advantage of this tactic is that it is hard to defend against it, and it is difficult for the Allied forces to target anti-submarine. Of course, this tactic is not impeccable, and the disadvantage is also obvious that a submarine that does this may not encounter an enemy ship before it runs out of fuel and returns.

The tactics against it are developed by General Denitz of the German Navy, which is famous wolf pack tactics that are opposite to the single-boat cruise tactics. To put it bluntly, this tactic is to use as many means as possible to discover the enemy's targets in advance, and then concentrate all nearby German submarines to surround and kill the Allied fleet at a certain position.

The first advantage of the wolves' tactics is the diversity and forward-looking nature of the early reconnaissance methods. This is an innovation that is similar to a technological revolution for submarines to attack targets. As we all know, due to their limitations in their functions, submarines could only sail at speeds lower than surface ships. This makes it a low-probability event when submarines hunt targets and discover targets and obtain good attack positions.

So a large number of submarines could only cruise on the sea without targets, and by luck to discover targets and attack this kind of attack is obviously very inefficient and expensive. In response to this situation, as a naval submarine expert, Denitz proposed an improved solution.

This plan is to use naval aviation, spy intelligence agencies, and even their own country's fishing boats and merchant ships to attack ships... all these forces are used to provide submarines with intelligence on enemy ship activities. With reconnaissance and intelligence, you can set up ambushs in the predetermined waters based on this intelligence.

The wolf pack tactics made up for the shortcomings of the early detection conditions of submarine warfare, and concentrated superior forces to encircle and suppress the Allied transport fleet, which was why more ships were sunk and caused greater losses to the Allied forces.

In order to leave time to escape, cause the greatest chaos and achieve the greatest result, the wolf pack tactics usually fire as many torpedoes as possible at a certain time, then escape with one strike, and escape thousands of miles away. These underwater assassins often fire all the torpedoes that can be fired within the first time to achieve the greatest result.

But just now, just as the commander of the "Alpine Dog" transport fleet began to despair, the sound of the explosion gradually faded away. And after a few sounds, it came to an abrupt end.

God! You are still on our side! After thinking about this in your heart, the commander immediately began to issue combat orders: "Let the destroyer maintain its position! Don't be impulsive! The enemy may only have one submarine! Don't scare yourself!"

His words calmed down the panic of bridge building. Everyone looked at their commanders in disbelief. Then some sailors who had experienced the tactical interception of German submarine wolves, immediately realized something: "Hey! The explosion stopped! The enemy's attack did not continue!"

It was as if they were confirming their conjecture, and the entire fleet calmed down and seemed to have not been attacked at all. If it weren't for a giant ship in the distance sinking slowly, if the ship was spreading in a farther place, if there were ships that exploded just now, they would have doubted whether they were too nervous and had the hallucination of a German submarine attack.

"It's an attack from a submarine! It's not a German wolf pack!" A sailor who had been attacked by a German wolf pack and survived by luck leaned on the chair, breathed a sigh of relief and said with gratitude: "It's great! It seems that we're not at home this time."

One sentence expresses everyone's voice, and another explosion from afar has become less terrible in everyone's ears. If there is only one German submarine, even if it is a new type of submarine, it will only have the chance to launch 16 torpedoes at most. Even if it hits all, it seems that they will lose!

But in the vast sea, how could there be such a fantasy thing as 16 torpedoes hitting 16 ships respectively? So at most less than 10 ships will be hit. On the North Atlantic, the most dangerous route in the world, the losses are completely within the cocoa-bearable range.

It seemed to be confirming everyone's guess, the explosion did not come again for a long time. An adjutant had come with a telegram of loss statistics and reported on the attack just now. How much loss did it cause: "The Bottle Cap transport ship was seriously injured and fell behind... The Big White Bear sank... No. 1447... The Beautiful Goddess sank..."

"Gentlemen! We don't know if we will encounter more German submarines at night! So we must speed up the speed." The fleet commander seemed to have risen from hell to heaven at this moment. He had already made the sank half of the ships, and was now told that he had lost only 4 transport ships. This is simply good news.

But just when he was secretly happy in his heart, a transport ship behind the fleet suddenly exploded again, and the huge flames suddenly rose as high as dozens of floors. It was obviously a transport ship full of arms. Judging from the location, it was close to the center of the fleet, but unfortunately, this location was not a lucky place for it.

Everyone was silent, staring at the water column and flames rising in the distance, and it took a while to come back to their senses. Experienced people know that the German submarine had just fired a torpedo, and it would definitely not be less than 6... In this case, hitting 5 ships can only be regarded as a very normal result.

"It seems that another ship has been lost." The commander didn't say anything just now, and most of them were still worried. He was worried that more and more German submarines would join the strangle, but time passed by minute by minute, and it was obvious that his concerns did not become reality.

There is really only one German submarine, and this submarine only has time to attack once. No matter how you look at it, it was a sea encounter. Their fleet encountered a passing German submarine, so based on the principle of plucking hairs by geese, the German submarine launched an attack script, which is nothing strange.

At dawn the next day, patrolling b-17 bombers and other Allied aircraft appeared above the heads of the Allied fleet. A cruising British destroyer also came together, as if the threat of the German submarine was completely lifted. The sudden appearance of the German submarine became the only episode in this transportation, and everyone on the ship was glad to be lucky.

...

In Canada, in the building of the temporary station of the British intelligence department, an officer put down the phone and shook his head at his adjutant: "This kind of thing happens every day in the Atlantic Ocean, and German submarines are almost everywhere there. If you just worry about changing such an important password, it is definitely a waste and loss."

"However, the 'Alpine Dog' transport fleet has indeed been attacked by German submarines, and we cannot ignore the existence of this possibility. The Germans may not have time to mobilize more submarines, which is also a possibility, isn't it?" The adjutant frowned and spoke up.

The British intelligence officer shook his head and persuaded his adjutant meaningfully: "This password will expire in two months and it doesn't require us to scare ourselves so much. You are just too sensitive. If you haven't encountered a German submarine, you will still say to me: 'The Germans may be trying to cover up the truth', let's change the password..."—
