Take Taobao to fight against Japan

In the radar station on the shore, there are also radar soldiers monitoring 24 hours a day.

Not only that.In the waters outside the port, the Italian Navy has deployed at least two anti-submarine nets and deployed a large number of trigger mines to prevent submarine forces from attacking the port. Its defense measures can be said to be quite strict.

Of course, this does not mean that the Italian navy is unpredictable and knows that Yang Fan has launched a manned torpedo, and that the Allied forces will come to attack the port tonight.

Rather, these strict defensive measures are actually nothing more than the basic routine operations of the naval ports of various countries, let alone the Mediterranean Sea where the navies of the enemy and ours are in full swing.

However, the height of the magic is one foot high, and the defense measures of the Italian Navy are tight, but the frogman troops of the Huben Army are not in vain.

In the case that the opponent has no targeted defense, as long as they are careful and patient enough, the chance of a successful sneak attack is still very high.

In order to maximize the success rate of the frogmen's operations, in addition to selecting elite soldiers and rigorous training, Yang Fan also spent a lot of money on hardware.

For example, the frogman's underwater breathing equipment is a closed rebreather, which can ensure that the frogman will not release air bubbles underwater, thereby reducing the chance of being discovered by the water surface.

In addition to the MKI manned torpedoes currently in use, the Huben Army frogman troops also have an advanced underwater vehicle, which is an open diving propeller, and the crew wears respirators to ride on it, which can complete underwater detection, positioning and monitoring. Attack and other tasks.

It can be released by the submarine's torpedo tube, which allows the frogman to travel a long distance underwater in a short period of time, and can be recycled after completing the task.

Whether it is the MKI manned torpedo or the frogman underwater vehicle, they are all low-noise low-speed submersibles. When the speed is slowed down, the noise is far less than 90 decibels.

As we all know, the background noise of seawater is as high as 90 decibels, so as long as the noise of the submersible is within 90 decibels, sonar cannot monitor it

Therefore, although the Italian Navy's defense measures are very strict, it can be regarded as hard work, but it is powerless in the face of the slow infiltration of the frogman troops of the Chinese Huben Army.

Unless they discover the situation in advance and conduct active sonar detection on a certain sea area, they can only be blind.

At the same time, the frogman troops are responsible for underwater reconnaissance, blasting and other special combat tasks, and their combat environment is basically underwater, so the weapons they are equipped with are naturally different from other combat troops.

Because water is much denser than air, ordinary guns are basically difficult to operate normally underwater.

Whether the bullet is fired from the surface of the water or directly underwater, normal bullets have an incredibly short range and lose power within a few meters.

Therefore, the frogman's firearms must be specially designed. For this reason, Yang Fan equips the Huben army frogman troops with special underwater combat weapons and tools.

Among them, the firearms are APS underwater rifle and spp1 underwater pistol.All are slender arrow-shaped bullets.

When this kind of bullet is moving forward, the front end can form a cavity, which can greatly reduce the resistance of water, and the bullet can keep moving forward in a straight line at high speed.

Its effective range can reach about 20 meters.

Because the bullets are slender, sharp, and heavy, their power is considerable.

Within the effective range, the flechette can penetrate five millimeters of plexiglass or three millimeters of steel.

In other words, oxygen masks and oxygen cylinders can be penetrated.

It still doesn't sound long enough, but the underwater visibility is not high, and this range is enough for normal use.

But then again, apart from underwater missions such as underwater surveys, underwater blasting, and swimming attacks, frogmen have other combat missions similar to army units, but there is no such thing as fighting enemy frogmen.

In fact, frogman battles are extremely rare in reality. After all, frogmen perform secret missions, and the probability of being discovered is not high.

It is even rarer for frogmen from the two countries to operate in the same waters and conflicts broke out.

Therefore, underwater weapons are often a kind of preparedness, and they are rarely used to great effect.

After a very patient and careful survey and investigation, the frogman troops of the Huben Army finally broke through many obstacles, entered the port smoothly, and successfully mounted 6 torpedoes on one battleship and two ships. On the heavy cruiser and 1 light cruisers.

It stands to reason that the most valuable military battleships and heavy cruisers are undoubtedly the Italian Navy battleships and heavy cruisers, and at the moment there are 3 Italian Navy battleships and 4 heavy cruisers docked in the port of Tobruk.

But what I want to say is that in the harbor where the enemy situation is complicated, it is not an ordinary difficulty and danger to find these big guys one by one.

So at this time, you really can't be too greedy, it's almost enough.

What's more, the surprise attack of the frogman troops on the port of Tobruk was just the first appetizer, and the finale was yet to come.

As for why only 6 MKI manned torpedoes were sent tonight to do things, the same is true.

What's more, the MKI manned torpedo has not been used for a long time. Even though it has been intensively trained for more than half a month, it is still a new weapon that has not undergone actual combat. It is not too greedy to put it into use for the first time!

At present, the most important thing is to successfully brush a wave of experience.

Chapter 1365 The Tiger Goes Down the Mountain

After setting the explosion time for 2 hours, the frogman troops of the Huben Army returned slowly on the MKI manned torpedo.

Since it is impossible to determine the specific time of the navy's air strikes, they can only adjust the time a little more, so as not to end up in a hurry.

As for whether it will take too long to become an "afterthought" or even be eliminated after being discovered by the enemy, there is no need to worry too much about this. As long as they themselves are not discovered, the chance of this is almost zero.

Moreover, in addition to the timed fuze, these bombs can also be detonated by remote control, so there will be no waste of money.

There is no light or movement on the sea 220 kilometers northeast of the port of Tobruk.

Except for the inaudible sound of sea wind and waves, the whole sea area is surprisingly quiet, it seems that there is nothing, just a piece of sea.

However, if you calm down and observe carefully, you can still see huge silhouettes of black shadows with the help of the extremely faint starry sky.

It is hard to imagine that in this dark and silent sea area, there are 6 aircraft carriers, 10 destroyers, and a large number of frigates scattered around to guard.

After a lot of shifting, feinting, and feinting, Yang Fan finally placed this chess piece on the most threatening sea area to Tobruk port without anyone noticing.

On the aircraft carrier Zhenyuan, Liu Qiang was standing quietly in front of the glass window of the command cabin, staring at the pitch-black sea level like a clay sculpture.

On the surface Liu Qiang is very stable at the moment, but in fact his heart is not peaceful at all, instead it is dark and turbulent, extremely disturbed.

Because this air strike, which took a long time to prepare, but was rather urgent, was the first battle of the Chinese Huben Navy after it arrived in the North African theater, and it was also the first major aircraft carrier-based battle in history.

Although all kinds of preparations have been done and multiple sets of emergency plans have been drawn up, Liu Qiang still has no idea.

After all, everything is difficult at the beginning, and it is inevitable that you will be a little nervous the first time!

There were more than a dozen British and American naval generals and staff officers sitting in the command cabin, and they all remained silent, waiting patiently for further news.

The light in the room was very dark, only a few dimly lit security lights at the corner of the wall were turned on, making the atmosphere even more solemn and solemn.

"report!"

I don’t know how long this weird silence lasted. Nie Gang, the communication staff officer of the Huaxia Navy, who was in the corner of the cabin, suddenly stood up and said in an excited tone: “Senior, our frogman unit has successfully completed the task. The torpedo will explode in an hour!"

"Well! Now it can be said that everything is ready and only the east wind is owed!"

Liu Qiang nodded lightly and breathed a sigh of relief. At least half of the strategic goals have been completed tonight.

The biggest threat to the air strike on the port of Tobruk is whether the land-based fighter group in the port of Tobruk can be mobilized to participate in the war in the Matruh Fortress area.

Luftwaffe's

In the early days of World War II, there was always a problem in the research of combat aircraft, that is, ordinary propeller aircraft could not take off at night, and taking off and landing at night was still a new thing.

Before the introduction of radar-equipped night fighters, night bombers were actually quite safe, with a low hit rate from anti-aircraft guns fired under searchlights.

Ordinary fighter jets can only fight in the night sky under the control of experienced pilots who have undergone special night flight training.

Even so, the effect is poor.

But the emergence of radar changed all this. Although radar was still a new thing in the early days of World War II, it developed rapidly.

By 1940, it had been miniaturized enough to be installed on an aircraft, and only aircraft with more than two engines could be equipped with radar.

The aircraft equipped with radar is different. The radar is not affected by visibility, and enemy aircraft can be clearly seen even in the dark night.

If you have night combat paint and the opponent does not have a face alarm, then biting the enemy plane is as easy as following a blind man.

Usually only when the night fighters are firing, the prey will find them. When both sides have night fighters, they must have such aircraft with better performance in order to dominate the night sky.

Both Britain and Germany improved their more maneuverable fighters and bombers into night fighters.

The earliest service in the UK was the "handsome soldier", which went into battle in October 1940 and shot down a German bomber in a night air battle for the first time on November 10.

Due to the leadership of radar technology, British bombers currently have the night bombing capability to turn German cities into ruins at a negligible cost.

In this case, in order to reduce the loss of bombers, the Royal Air Force naturally adopted night bombing measures.

In order to retaliate against Germany, the British implemented a brutal night bombing strategy.

Swarms of night bombers did not attack military or military-industrial targets, but purely cities, in an attempt to intimidate the Germans into submission with fear by massacring civilians.

Facing the crazy night air bombing of the British army, Germany will naturally not stand still.

While protecting the city with anti-aircraft guns, Germany transformed the Ju1941 bomber and bf8 fighter into night fighters in August 88, possessing considerable night combat capabilities.

Therefore, in this case, if the German night fighters cannot be transferred away, then the night bombing of the carrier-based fleet may end up being forced instead of being sloppy.

In order to achieve this plan of diverting the tiger away from the mountain, Yang Fan has worked hard and spent a lot of money.

Yang Fan not only mobilized all rocket artillery units and heavy artillery units to cover the Axis positions without interruption, but also mobilized hundreds of bombers to conduct in-depth bombing.

After the indiscriminate bombing that lasted for nearly an hour, seeing that the German night combat fleet had not yet appeared, he simply made a fake show and, under the cover of dive bombers and artillery fire, dispatched a large number of ground troops to launch a full-scale attack on the enemy's positions. attack.

So all the work that should be done has been done, and now we just wait for Germany to take the bait.

"Damn, didn't you read the almanac when you went out today?"

After waiting patiently for more than ten minutes, Liu Qiang finally calmed down and refused to go on. Even if the torpedo placed in the port did not explode, the battle in Matruh Fortress would have come to an end.

Although in this case, the lost outlying positions of the Matruh Fortress can be regained smoothly, but it is clear that those outlying positions that have almost become ruins are no longer fragrant.

For the Allied forces at present, the most important thing is to re-create the fleet, reverse the sea dominance of the Mediterranean, and cut off the Mediterranean transportation lines of the Axis countries step by step!

Just when Liu Qiang began to doubt his life and thought that there was probably nothing to do tonight, Nie Gang, the communications officer of the Navy, stood up again excitedly and reported:

"Report to the military seat, a telegram has been sent from the headquarters of the Matru Fortress, and the tiger has gone down the mountain!"

Chapter 1366 Detonating Fireworks

"Beautiful! Sure enough, the hard work pays off!"

Hearing this, Liu Qiang exploded in an instant, snapped his fingers excitedly, and shouted loudly: "Hurry up, hurry up, act immediately, hurry up and start immediately! This battle must be fought beautifully!"

"Yes!"

"Roger that!"

"understand!"

"Yes, sir!"

Not only Liu Qiang was very excited, but all the naval officers in the room were too excited, and they started to act the moment they received the order.

In the next moment, all kinds of headlights on the Zhenyuan aircraft carrier were turned on, and in a blink of an eye, the entire command room, bridge, and deck were illuminated like daylight.

Immediately afterwards, the bridges of the entire task force's warships were lit up, and the radio that was in a silent state was revived, and radio wave signals filled the entire void in an instant.

The entire aircraft carrier group showed a hideous face in just a few seconds!

Immediately afterwards, the decks of the six aircraft carriers became busy and began to enter the take-off mode.

One after another, reconnaissance planes, dive bombers, torpedo planes, and fighter jets took off from the deck one after another, rushing straight into the sky with fierce roars.

After a short while, 360 combat aircraft took off from 6 aircraft carriers.

After taking off, these combat aircraft completed formation in the air, forming a large attack aircraft group, and then, under the guidance of the reconnaissance aircraft, rushed towards the port of Tobruk, 220 kilometers away.

Even the slowest torpedo bomber can reach it in 40 minutes at most.

At this time, the German combat aircraft fleet had just arrived at the Matruh Fortress for a few minutes, and it was too late to return to defense.

Even if the enemy's radar station can give an early warning time of more than 10 minutes, they have little chance to temporarily turn the nose of the plane and fight back to protect the safety of the port.

Because it only takes 20 minutes, it is enough for the bomber fleet to enter and exit seven times, and play and perform to their heart's content.

Taking a step back, even if all the German night combat planes were not dispatched, but a small part remained, even if there were many ground anti-aircraft guns in the port of Tobruk, there was no way to completely stop this wave of fast and accurate bombing shock waves!

All in all, as long as you don't faint, there is a high probability that the sneak attack will succeed!

"I buy it! Report! It is found that the enemy's large-scale fleet is moving rapidly towards the port of Tobruk! The Allied Air Force is about to launch a large-scale enemy air attack on the port!"

When the fleet entered the detection range of the radar station, a German radar soldier at the Tobruk port radar station discovered the situation immediately, immediately sounded the air defense alarm, and then reported to his superiors!

Woo~woo~woo~

"Not good! Enemy air attack!"

"Hurry up, get ready for battle!"

The sharp scream broke the tranquility of the port in an instant, waking up all the German, Italian, sea, army and airmen from their dreams.

In an instant, the port of Tobruk became extremely flustered, and the sailors rolled over from their beds as quickly as possible and entered their combat positions.

The air defense force on the port also entered the artillery position immediately, began to load shells, and adjusted the shooting elements.

The air force units farther away, they moved the fastest, because they were already on standby before that.
