This aircraft carrier battle group of the Chinese Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet entered the Mediterranean from the Red Sea through the Suez Canal. It started the patrol for two days. It was normal. No suspicious fleet was found, but only some small Allied fleets, as well as some ordinary cargo ships and merchant ships.

On the third day, I finally discovered the enemy situation.

In the command room of the "Wuhan" aircraft carrier, a Chinese major general was looking at the sparkling sea through the glass of the command room. Next to the major general, there were several naval officers, including a colonel, two lieutenant colonels, and several majors.

In the past few days, there has been no enemy situation. Everyone faded out of their mouths. As the first Chinese fleet to enter the Mediterranean, everyone naturally hopes to find the bad luck of the German navy and fight a beautiful battle.

"Commander! These days it has been calm and there is no shadow of the German Navy. Have they escaped by looking at the wind, have they seen us enter the Mediterranean and run away one after another?"

The major officer's words were naturally a joke. When they heard this, everyone burst into laughter.

The Chinese Rear Admiral, the commander of the "Wuhan" aircraft carrier battle group, also smiled slightly.

"Comrades, the German navy is not strong, and it is very normal that there is no trace of the German navy. We patrol for two more days as planned, then return to Port Said and escort the 6th Army to land on the coast of Italy."

"Yes!" A Chinese naval colonel next to him took the conversation and said with emotion: "War to this point, Germany's defeat has emerged, and their navy has gradually declined, and the scale of the warships can no longer be compared with a few years ago."

The German navy was not strong at all. The reason why the German army swept across Europe was because of its powerful army. In World War II, Germany was almost the best in the world at that time and the air force was also good, but the only shortcoming was its navy, which was basically nothing except submarines.

Now, as the war progresses, many large German warships have been sunk by the Allied forces, and the powerful submarine force of the German Navy is also declining, and it will no longer be as glorious as the early days of World War II.

In the command room of the "Wuhan" there were a group of Chinese naval commanders. Seeing that the German navy might not be able to be discovered this time, they were a little disappointed. Originally, everyone wanted to fight a battle with the German navy in the Mediterranean, but now it seems that they are afraid that they will not be able to do so.

It has been three days since the German Navy has not discovered the shadow. Two days later, everyone will return to Port Said and escort the 6th Army to land in Italy.

This Chinese Rear Admiral was slightly disappointed when he looked at the calm Mediterranean.

When everyone was a little disappointed, a naval captain walked in quickly and reported happily: "Commander! Our radar discovered that in the northwest, about 110 nautical miles away from us. A large fleet appeared."

When they found a large fleet, maybe the German Navy was reported, everyone was cheered up, their faces were obviously a little excited.

"Commander! There is a turning point! I feel that this may be a German fleet." A navy colonel next to him made a bold prediction.

The Chinese Rear Admiral also nodded slightly, and immediately ordered: "Go forward at full speed and approach this unknown fleet, and send two helicopters to reconnaissance."

Soon, everyone took action and ordered them to take off two helicopters on the "Wuhan" aircraft carrier and headed towards the target area.

A distance of 110 nautical miles. For helicopters, in less than an hour, the two armed helicopters reached the target sea area. They were about a few kilometers away from this unknown fleet and at a height of hundreds of meters. Careful reconnaissance began to occur from a distance.

This is a mixed fleet, not only with warships, but also with several submarines. However, there are more of a large number of merchant ships and cargo ships. There are at least a dozen such civilian ships, and the tonnage of each merchant ship and cargo ship is relatively large, with a displacement of thousands of tons, and the largest one may exceed 10,000 tons.

This is a German transport fleet. These merchant ships and cargo ships are full of various raw materials, including ore, oil, and even rubber. These are strategic materials.

As the war progressed, Germany's domestic resources were becoming increasingly scarce, and many weapons manufacturing began to cut corners. Resources became particularly important to Germany.

This German fleet was transported to Germany with full load of supplies, and the German ship next to it was naturally escorted.

The German fleet escorted included a battleship, a heavy cruiser, three light cruisers, and several small warships, which may be destroyers or frigates. In addition to these surface ships, there were three submarines.

A medium-sized submarine, two small submarines, these three submarines are sailing on the sea. Although the target is several kilometers away, the soldiers on the helicopter can still see clearly through the telescope.

Submarines are not always sailing underwater. Submarines of this era are generally hybrid diesel and electric power. Generally speaking, submarines sail on the water and their power is provided by the diesel engines on the submarine.

When it is necessary to fight or when it is really necessary to dive, submarines that dive into the water rely on batteries to provide power. Because they rely on batteries to provide power, the time for diving into the water is limited. When the battery power is exhausted, the submarine must float.

Of course, if a submarine with a snorkel can sail under several meters of water for a long time after raising the snorkel, and use diesel-powered submarines produced in China have this kind of ventilation device, but it is unknown whether these German submarines have such devices.

On the two helicopters, these soldiers kept reporting the situation they found to the "Wuhan" aircraft carrier.

At this time, the "Wuhan" aircraft carrier battle group was sailing here at high speed. The speed of the Chinese ship was much faster than these German merchant ships and cargo ships, and the distance between the two sides was gradually shrinking.

In order to prevent being discovered by German warships, these two helicopters began to return to the aircraft carrier "Wuhan" after observation.

A few hours later, the Chinese Navy's aircraft carrier battle group was only 40 kilometers away from the German fleet. At this distance, many warships of the aircraft carrier battle group began to prepare for combat.

This distance cannot be discovered even if the German navy has radar. The German radar can only detect surface ships within 30 kilometers.

The warships of the "Wuhan" aircraft carrier battle group are 40 or 50 kilometers away from the German fleet, and two of the submarines belonging to the aircraft carrier battle group are almost approaching the German fleet.

These two submarines are new submarines produced by China, with a displacement of 2,000 tons and are medium-sized submarines. Now, these two aircraft carriers are sailing underwater several meters deep, with only a periscope and a snorkel exposed on the water surface.

On such a vast sea, it is almost impossible to find the periscope and snorkel exposed to the water, unless the distance is very close and you search carefully.

Obviously, the German fleet did not find any Chinese aircraft carrier battle group, nor did they find these two Chinese submarines that were only two or three kilometers away from them.

The German warships were not fast and were sailing at a constant speed without any intention of acceleration. In front of the German fleet, three German submarines took the lead and sailed on the water surface, leading the entire German fleet at least several hundred meters.

The soldiers on these two Chinese submarines knew all this clearly, and through the periscope, they could clearly see the situation on the water.

This time, these two Chinese submarines took the initiative to attack, with the purpose of taking the lead in destroying these three German submarines. The German submarines posed a certain threat to the aircraft carrier battle group. When these three German submarines were destroyed, the "Wuhan" aircraft carrier battle group could launch missiles with confidence, and not worry about threats from underwater at all.

Now, seeing these three German submarines take the lead, it is a good opportunity for the soldiers. The two submarines began to turn off the diesel engine, put away the periscope and snorkel, and began to dive.

After submerging underwater dozens of meters deep, the two submarines quietly surrounded the German submarines. Gradually, they were closer to the German submarines, completely reaching the effective attack range of torpedoes.

In the two submarines, the soldiers began to be busy in an orderly manner. The torpedo launch tubes were opened and water began to be injected, making a gurgling sound under the water. Such a sound was inevitable.

At this time, it is also the time when the submarine is most easily discovered. Knowing that the torpedo tube of their submarine is opened, the soldiers inside the submarine all seem nervous.

However, it was obvious that the German army was quite careless and did not notice the sounds made under the water. The preparations for the torpedo launch of Chinese submarines were in danger.

Everything was ready, and the commanders in the two submarines issued launch orders one after another. The two submarines each launched a 500 mm caliber and weighed thousands of kilograms torpedo.

The launch time of the two torpedoes was not large. In less than ten seconds, the two torpedoes headed towards the German submarine at high speed underwater. This time, the soldiers' primary target was the German medium-sized submarine. In addition, there was a small submarine. As for the other remaining small submarine, they would be temporarily spared and the torpedo was launched next time.

The soldiers' submarines were unable to deal with two targets at the same time, so they could only deal with one target. They first launched two torpedoes at the two submarines of the German army.
