Although, submarines are known as underwater killers. However, after the invention of sonar and other special equipment to deal with submarines, the concealment and safety of submarines have been greatly reduced. Most of the previous anti-submarine warfare was based on experience. The current sonar can accurately find out the position of the submarine and guide the warship to launch an attack. Therefore, if the submarine cannot make progress in noise reduction, its combat power will be greatly restricted.

Aren’t the submarines of later generations also constantly working on noise reduction?

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Mute explosions continued to sound under the sea surface, and the American submarine hiding underwater was like a small boat in a storm. The shock wave after the depth charge exploded engulfed the sea water and squeezed the submarine. If the hull can't hold on, then only the boat will be destroyed.

"God! What's going on? The German depth charges almost exploded after us!" Inside an American submarine, the captain's face was pale. Although, he had already expected that the mission this time would be very risky. But he didn't expect that before the main force of the German fleet arrived, they were about to be killed.

"Sir, don't the Germans have weapons that can detect underwater submarines? Otherwise, how could their depth charges be so accurate? We have been hiding under the water before, and no one has emerged ’ said the deputy captain.

"Crunch, crunch!"

The pressure hull of the submarine kept making noises, as if it was about to lose its hold. You know, once the pressure hull is broken down, the submarine will become an iron coffin, burying them all inside.

"God! I don't want to die, I don't want to be buried in the dark seabed!" A submarine soldier was about to cry.

It's just that their prayers are of no use.

A depth charge exploded less than five meters directly above the submarine. The huge power directly blew up the pressure hull of the submarine. Seawater immediately poured into the submarine, causing the submarine to sink rapidly.

The American submarine soldiers in the submarine yelled in horror. However, this doesn't work at all. Together with the submarine, they will sink to the bottom of the sea.

The anti-submarine force of the German Navy carried out a devastating blow to the submarine force deployed by the US Navy outside the Chesapeake Bay. One American submarine after another was sunk. In less than an hour, the sea area was almost completely cleared. Those American submarines, except for a very few, were almost sunk before they escaped.

The submarines deployed by the U.S. Navy did not pose any threat to the German fleet at all.

When the main force of the German fleet arrived, there was no longer any need to worry about the threat of submarines.

"General, the anti-submarine forces have already cleaned up this sea area. There are already 24 battle results that can be confirmed." Lieutenant General Richter Fels reported.

Admiral Hipper had a smile on his face, looking very satisfied.

"Very good, but tell the anti-submarine troops that they cannot be taken lightly. After we enter the Chesapeake Bay, we must continue to monitor the nearby waters. We must not let the Americans take advantage of the loopholes." Admiral Hipper said.

"Yes, General." Lieutenant General Richter Fels nodded solemnly.

He also knows that for the fleet, this time anti-submarine will be the top priority. Although, the battleships of the German Navy have rough skin and thick flesh, easy attacks will not cause fatal damage to them. However, once the steering gear or propeller at the tail of the battleship is blown up, the consequences will be serious. Therefore, eliminating these crises as much as possible is undoubtedly the best result.

"Enter the Chesapeake Bay and prepare for another attack from the Americans!" Admiral Hipper gave the order.

"Yes, General."

After the order was issued, the German fleet began to sail into the Chesapeake Bay. Destroyers and light cruisers entered first, preparing to destroy the light cruisers and destroyers of the US Navy ambushing inside first, so that their capital ships could be protected from the lightning strikes of the Americans.

The capital ship, under the protection of light cruisers and destroyers, entered last. At the same time, priority was given to using artillery fire to deal with the American cruisers and destroyers, and to eliminate them first, and then bombarded the Chesapeake Bay.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Fierce battles ensued in the bay, and the light cruisers and destroyers of the US Navy charged the German fleet. They hoped to rush to the sea less than two kilometers away from the capital ship of the German fleet, launch a lightning strike, and sink the capital ship of the German Navy with heavy torpedoes.

However, their charge was not smooth from the beginning. The light cruisers and destroyers of the German Navy blocked them. At the same time, they had to face sharp artillery fire from the battleships of the German Navy. Those 410mm main guns or 380mm main guns can scrap a destroyer with one shot, and even if a light cruiser is hit, it will be severely damaged.

The shells exploded continuously on the sea surface, splashing jets of water into the sky.

The light cruisers and destroyers of the U.S. Navy, like brave knights, braved the hail of bullets and rushed towards the battleship of the German Navy.

"Boom!"

A U.S. Navy destroyer was hit by a 410mm shell. The entire bow of the ship was destroyed in the explosion, as if it had been bitten by a monster.

"Boom boom boom!"

A light cruiser of the US Navy was attacked by two destroyers of the German Navy. Although, it is difficult for the destroyer's main guns to sink this light cruiser, let alone those smaller caliber secondary guns.

However, the superstructure of this light cruiser was smashed and a raging fire ignited.

"Speed ​​up, pressurize the boiler, and increase the speed!" The captain of an American destroyer ordered.

"But sir, the boiler will be scrapped soon."

"If we don't speed up, we will be sunk by the Germans. Rather than being sunk, it is better to let the boiler be scrapped!" The captain ordered viciously.

The destroyer, like an arrow leaving the string, quickly rushed towards a battleship of the German Navy. However, their luck does not seem to be very good. The oncoming dense secondary artillery shells battered the destroyer with holes. The destroyer sank quickly because of too many attacks.

I have to admit that the U.S. Navy performed very bravely in this battle. But alas, their bravery did not bring them victory, but continued to pay a heavy price.
