Chapter 1284 Resurrection

But at the same time, Su Xiong and others also noticed that the Allies were not unprepared for this situation. On the contrary, they equipped seaplanes in large fleets to provide reconnaissance operations. The British fleet would definitely not be able to defeat the German fleet. However, if they discovered the German fleet tens of kilometers away and they would scatter and scatter directly, it would be quite troublesome to arrest the German fleet!

If the attack fleet wants to achieve huge results, it also requires quantity in addition to mass. This is like facing a group of wild boars fleeing in scattered areas, even if the strong lions are probably able to catch a few. Then let other prey run away, even if the prey is weak, you can't catch them. Previously, if the Suxiong fleet wanted to catch them, they could only rely on two fast battleships and attack ships. But now, with the fierce maritime confrontation, the five attack ships that originally came out with Suxiong have sunk or temporarily disappeared. Now, in addition to the two main forces, the only ones that can accompany the ocean's course are the Swordfish, which has been changed to the seaplane mothership, and the Constellation, a long-range high-speed supply ship provided by Americans.

So, if we encounter a large-scale fleet again, the greatest possibility is that before the German fleet launched an attack, the Allied Transport Fleet dispersed. Then Su Xiong caught two or three kittens... Then, after losing the best hunting opportunity after returning, the German fleet could only wait for the attack to attack the scattered fleet. Or in other words, the Allied was more ruthless and directly dispatched some critical fleets to escort them. Of course, the greatest possibility is that the Allied Draw a few more fast battleships and hunted the Su Xiong fleet at sea!

"Maybe, the next time the Japanese will be responsible for this task, right?" Raidel said to Su Xiong more than once.

"Yes, they are probably more terrifying enemies than the current British Royal Navy!" Su Xiong nodded and said. To be fair, the composition of the Japanese fleet is actually very close to that of the German fleet, that is, the proportion of high-speed main battleships is very large. Taking the Japanese Navy as an example, a bar is drawn at a speed of 24 knots. Among the 12 battleships currently in service in the Japanese Navy, 2 are slow-speed battleships, and the remaining 10 are all high-speed battleships! If we count the Fuso-class battleship No. 5 that has been completed and is being tested in the sea, there will be 11 fast battleships. Except for 4 King Kong, the remaining 7 are not weak!

The Fuso-class battleship is now recognized as the number one in the Allied Powers. The only reason why it is not the world's number one is that it has not yet been distinguished from the Bavarian-class battleship. So far, Japan has not fully utilized its naval power, it is huge, and in Su Xiong's view, the Japanese navy, which is a bit idle, is the biggest threat to the Indian Ocean squadron!

"Sometimes I keep thinking about when the Japanese fleet will choose to kill us." Su Xiong said half-seriously and half-jokingly.

Su Xiong knew very well that if the two fast battleships attacked again, the Allied Congress would take action soon. So their "pleasure time" would be very short. But now, with the arrival of submarine forces, even if the surface breaking and war was suppressed by the Japanese fleet, then the submarine could also pose a threat to the Allied maritime transportation line. At present, this is only the first submarines to arrive in the Indian Ocean. It can be foreseen that as more and more submarines arrive here, the Allied's maritime transportation line in the Indian Ocean will be gradually put on nooses!

"They are here!" At this moment, under the leadership of the pilot ship, a submarine force known as the monsoon wolf pack was gradually appearing in the port. A total of 12 ocean submarines entered the port under the leadership of the flagship u225 along the pre-reserved passage. With the arrival of the submarine force, the German Indian Ocean Fleet once again showed its sharp fangs!

"Col. Schultz welcomes you and your fleet to Fao." After the submarine was led to its anchorage, Su Xiong personally brought the fleet officials to welcome Col. Schultz, the commander of the Monsoon Wolf Pack, and his officers. Guests from afar need not a lively but annoying welcome ceremony.

They needed the best diet, a clean environment, and a good rest. So, shortly after the fleet landed, the German naval officers and Turks, who had been waiting for a long time, first arranged for the personnel of each submarine to make up for it, and then took a hot bath. As for the real big meal, it was later. At this time, there was no distinction between superiors and subordinates. Su Xiong had prepared enough food and alcohol for these comrades to relieve their tense and boring life pressure for more than a month.

In addition to relaxing personnel, submarines that have been trekking for a long time also need maintenance and maintenance. Not to mention anything else, at least clean up the various aquatic plants attached to the submarine first. At the same time, the batteries, diesel engines and other equipment are inspected and repaired. The 12 submarines will be divided into 4 batches and enter the prepared dry dock for a relatively thorough maintenance.

Submarine officers, including Colonel Schultz, have to be familiar with the situation in the Indian Ocean for the next period of time and work with Su Xiong to formulate a joint combat plan.

"According to the theory of the classic submarine combat group, the 10 submarines we can fight can be divided into 3 combat groups, and then search for targets in the predetermined sea area. When the target is discovered, we will contact the headquarters through the radio station, and the headquarters will issue orders to the subordinate wolf pack."

"But now, we have a seaplane aircraft carrier, and the modified Swordfish has complete long, medium-wave communication and command capabilities. This means that we have a mobile command center and can also rely on seaplanes for reconnaissance. The efficiency of air reconnaissance is much better than chasing opponents with telescopes on the sea surface. And considering that the Allied Congress sends a fleet to escort, I suggest that after discovering a large fleet, two fast battleships will attack the opponent's escort warships, and then the submarines will be responsible for attacking the scattered transport ships. In this way, we can destroy a fleet to the greatest extent." Colonel Schultz said.

"This can be done by relying on the Swordfish to provide reconnaissance, fast battleships to clean up escort warships, and the submarines continuously track and attack. Unless the opponent installs medium-caliber artillery on each transport ship, the submarine's deck cannon is enough to solve the problem." Redell thought for a while and said.

"Then we have only one problem now, that is, when will the next large-scale fleet enter the Indian Ocean? We need to find some more valuable ones." Su Xiong said.

"That can only be seen whether our intelligence network in Southeast Asia is powerful." Redell said with a smile.
