Third Reich: I took over power

The Sun Never Sets Strait is not wide, with the narrowest point less than 30 kilometers.

Even a merchant ship with a speed of only more than ten knots can cross in only one and a half hours.

In order to successfully withdraw the soldiers of the 3rd Army of the Expeditionary Force to the mainland this time, the Royal Navy specially deployed 20 transport ships and then recruited 80 merchant ships to complete this withdrawal task.

You know, these hundreds of ships can bring tens of thousands of people back to the mainland of the Empire where the sun never sets at one time. If we could make two trips back and forth in one night, we could evacuate 70,000 to 80,000 people. In this case, it would not take much time to withdraw the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Expeditionary Force back to the mainland.

Of course, this is the most optimistic scenario. In fact, there are many unexpected factors. For example, the interception of the Third Reich. As well as the destruction of the port of Dunkirk, these will undoubtedly make the withdrawal more difficult.

When the fleet of the Sun Never Sets Empire was rushing to Dunkirk, in the straits of the Sun Never Sets Empire, submarines of the Third Reich were sailing slowly on the sea, waiting for the opportunity.

Naturally, the Third Reich could not just watch the empire withdraw its expeditionary force to its homeland, so it specially dispatched submarine troops and surface fleets to stop them.

Among them, the submarine force, as the ace force of the Third Reich Navy, rushed to the strait as soon as possible

U-Submarine No. 29 is also one of many submarines. Captain Otto Kretschmer has been promoted from captain to major due to his great achievements. He is also the one with the most fruitful results among many ace captains. The total tonnage of the merchant ships he sunk exceeded 100,000 tons. Additionally, he sank a battleship. Such results are naturally unparalleled among the submarine forces of the Third Reich Navy.

"Sir, the fleet of the Empire, which the sun never sets, is here!"Vice Captain's Report

"Make an emergency dive immediately. There must be many warships protecting the fleet of the Empire where the sun never sets. We cannot take the lead at this time. Otherwise, we will be the ones killed!"Major Otto Kretschmer ordered

"Yes, sir!"The deputy captain replied.

In order to deal with the submarines of the Third Reich, many battleships of the Royal Navy are equipped with sonar systems. However, the sonar systems of this era still have many loopholes. If you want to accurately detect submarines hiding under the sea Submarines are not that easy.

What's more, when the fleet is sailing at high speed, it will also make huge noises, which interferes with the judgment of the sonar crew.

On the Royal Navy's heavy cruiser HMS Shropshire, the fleet commander Vice Admiral Algernon had a serious expression.

Although he believed that the fleet he led was very powerful, he did not dare to take it lightly at all.

He was almost certain that this withdrawal would not go so smoothly. The Third Reich Navy was definitely Warships will be sent to stop them. In fact, the enemies will not only come from the surface, but also from under the water.

This makes the Royal Navy have to remain vigilant throughout the process.

"Order all destroyers to separate and search for Third Reich submarines. They must not be allowed to attack our fleet!"Lieutenant General Algernon ordered

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!"Rear Admiral Arthur, chief of staff of the fleet, replied.

Hunter-class destroyers were cruising around the ship one after another.

These destroyers only had a displacement of more than a thousand tons, but they were equipped with four 102 mm naval guns and four twin 40 mm Anti-aircraft guns and two 2mm anti-aircraft guns, two depth charge throwers, and forty depth bombs. This kind of firepower is already very powerful. Especially when dealing with submarines, a huge number of depth bombs are enough to become a nightmare for submarines..The

Sun Never Sets on the Empire built a total of 83 Hunter-class destroyers, whose purpose was to hunt the Third Reich's submarine force.

However, when the Third Reich's submarine force did not launch an attack, these destroyers of the Royal Navy also It was difficult to find them. Even the sonar system was also very flawed.

Some destroyers dropped depth charges, but they only killed passing whales.

At the same time, on the north side of the strait, a The fleet, which has implemented light control throughout the entire process, is heading south.

This fleet is the warship sent by the Third Reich Navy to prevent the Third Reich's withdrawal plan. This fleet consists of six M-class light cruisers and 18 X-class It is composed of destroyers.

For the Third Reich Navy, whose number of surface battleships is far less than that of the Royal Navy, it is very rare to be able to dispatch so many battleships.

As for heavy cruisers and battleships, there is not a single one Deploy.

The sun never sets in the Strait, which is densely covered with mines deployed by both sides. If the battleship enters rashly and touches the mines, causing the battleship to sink, the losses will be huge.

When the final decisive battle with the Royal Navy is about to begin, , every capital ship of the Third Reich Navy is precious and cannot be lost in vain like this.

"General, in one hour we will enter the strait where the sun never sets!"On the light cruiser Braunschweig, an officer reported to the fleet commander, Rear Admiral Friedberg.

Rear Admiral Friedberg nodded:"Tell the ships that this time our enemy will be very powerful. Everyone must be prepared for a hard fight. In order for the empire to win, the empire must not be allowed to withdraw their expeditionary force to the mainland!"

"Yes, General!"The officer replied.

At around 8 o'clock in the evening, the Japanese fleet finally arrived at Dunkirk.

However, because the port was destroyed, these ships could not enter the port and could only park in the sea.

In order to avoid stranding, these ships The transport ships and merchant ships were more than one kilometer away from the coast.

At this time, the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Army of the Expeditionary Force who received the telegram began to get excited.

Every soldier had a happy smile on his face.

They would be able to Returning to the mainland by boat and escaping this hell-like battlefield. This is undoubtedly extremely lucky for them. Of course

, most of the first batch of people to evacuate are the wounded and senior generals.

They will give priority to returning to Japan. fell to the mainland of the Reich. As for the officers and soldiers, they have to wait for the next round. As for the troops who were ordered to block the Third Reich Army, I am afraid that there will be no chance to withdraw to the mainland. But it is precisely because of their sacrifice that more troops can Many people returned to their homeland alive._Feilu reminds you: three things about reading - collection, recommendation,
