Chapter 826: Trap three

"Really? If that's the case, then I hope this day will come soon." As a senior commander of the Royal Navy, although Thomas has not fought against breaking diplomatic ties, he still understands some principles. For example, the party who broke diplomatic ties will choose Get started on the busiest routes. This is especially true for the Su Xiong fleet, because it is often the most efficient. The camouflaged assault ship has to defend against the opponent’s **** fleet and auxiliary cruisers, so it may ambush a single ship in a more remote sea. There is no need for Xiong, even he hopes to run into the opponent's auxiliary cruiser...

Therefore, the anti-breaking party will definitely set the trap near the main route. In fact, the British navy had far more plans than Thomas thought! In fact, shortly after Su Xiong's fleet took off for the first time, the British had begun to modify the normal route. Now there are almost no ships daring to go from India to the Gulf of Aden... Generally, the ships of the Allied Powers go south from India, go along Male, Diego Garcia, Rodrigues and then turn to the west, bypass Mauritius, southern Madagascar, and enter the Atlantic Ocean through the Horn of Africa.

From the perspective of the voyage, this certainly spares a big circle, but it also increases the cost of the German fleet to break the cross. The route moves east and south, and the German fleet naturally needs to be farther away from its base. More supplies are needed. But these are superficial phenomena! In fact, the most fundamental reason for the British to do this is to roughly determine the position of the German fleet! Naturally, the specific methods cannot rely on camouflage reconnaissance ships! As the British Empire, which has maintained a leading position in electronic technology until World War II, the current radio lateral technology has been playing very well!

That's right, you read that right, it's the radio lateral direction. This seemingly advanced stuff has actually been widely used in World War I. Historically, the British began to deploy radio direction finding stations in the East of England in 1915. Using this system, the British can perform direction finding on the radio operations of aircraft and warships in the North Sea. The British used a Bellini-Tosi direction-finding antenna produced by the Italian company Marconi through a series of chain-shaped antennas. The British's ability to control the North Sea has greatly increased!

And on this plane, when the Suxiong fleet began to wreak havoc on the sea, the British also installed these direction-finding equipment on the islands in the Indian Ocean in order to capture the position information of the German fleet and the US camouflage supply ships, while the Allied fleet went All routes pass through the surrounding areas of these islands, so this greatly increases the probability of the British capturing the German fleet by radio!

Although Su Xiong's fleet did a good job, at the request of Raidel, the fleet's communication frequency changed frequently while minimizing unnecessary transmissions. But the so-called standing by the river often does not have wet shoes. How can the radio equipment on the ship compare to land-based? So the British can still capture the whereabouts of German warships through radio technology and camouflage reconnaissance ships, although they cannot track them steadily.

And now, the British plan has reached the final juncture. They only need to capture an American disguised supply ship that is ready to be supplied, and then obtain the contact information, codebook and the sea area where the supply is known in the last few days! And now, at least three capture teams are operating in the Indian Ocean.

Each capture team consists of two ships, both of which are auxiliary cruisers modified with high-speed civilian ships, and their maximum speed is generally around 15 knots. One of the auxiliary cruisers is equipped with 8 6-inch guns and a certain number of small artillery, as well as torpedoes. This auxiliary cruiser is called a ship and assists in dealing with possible auxiliary cruisers and camouflage supply ships that intercept Americans. The b ship itself does not have powerful weapons, but it has complete electronic equipment, including multi-band radio receiving antennas, Bellini-Tosi radio direction finding system, and electronic jamming equipment!

Yes, you read that right. With the advent of radio communication, electronic interference also appeared almost at the same time. At this time, everyone’s radio communication frequency band is mainly medium wave, and there is no frequency hopping and frequency conversion technology, so directly through blocking Clutter interference can paralyze radio communications within a certain range. The British plan was so thorough that even the possibility of the Americans releasing early warning telegrams was taken into consideration. Without this level, the British cannot be the world's boss!

And now, the second action team has found a target 70 nautical miles west of Diego Garcia Island! In this case, the captain of the ship a, Wells, is checking with his subordinates to confirm the final information!

"The target ship, the Star Star, is a 5,000-ton registered ship. It was requisitioned by the U.S. Navy in July this year and was secretly converted into a supply ship, carrying at least 2,000 tons of heavy fuel oil and other materials on it, with a maximum speed of 12 knots. Without armaments, half of the participating personnel are U.S. Navy retired personnel. They are numbered af-3 in the supply fleet. The German fleet will be refueled in 4 days. There are 65 crew members on it."

"A ship is responsible for the offense~www.wuxiaspot.com~ First warn the shooting to force the opponent to stop the ship, and then board the ship to quickly control the core compartments such as the bridge and the radio and telegraph room. We can use force and we can use disabling weapons such as tear gas. The ship will be responsible for suppressing the other party's radio equipment. We will act at dawn and approach the opponent with our back to the sun! Now there are three hours before the operation begins." Captain Wells said.

"For now, let us keep track. The rest can choose to rest." Is it difficult to track a ship at night? To be honest, it is not easy, but if the other party is not aware of the danger, there is no light control on the ship. If the speed is only 9 knots, it is still possible to track this ship. The two British naval auxiliary cruisers that have implemented light control are now slowly sailing about 3 kilometers behind the Star. They are waiting now, waiting for dawn.

"Something seems to be following us?" When the star of the star was rubbing his sleepy eyes and looking out to the sea, through the thin sea fog in the morning, he could see two huge figures approaching quickly Yourself!

"Isn't you the dazzling?" A colleague next to him gave a haha. But soon, after a sea breeze blew and the sea fog dissipated a little, the two Americans could see more clearly. Not only did they clearly see the appearance of the visitors, they also saw things that made them feel scared and unexpected! The two red cross flags on white background were quickly raised to the top of the mast! This is the battle flag of the Royal Navy!
