Chapter 5018 Discovery of the D?nitz aircraft carrier fleet

When Denitz said these words, a British escort transport team code-named ‘OB-300’, full of urgently needed combat supplies provided to British troops stationed in Africa, drove towards Africa under the escort of nine destroyers.

When this British fleet passed through the waters in the southwest of the Ice Sea, it was accidentally discovered by the German U-shaped submarines that happened to be reconnaissance in this area and informed the German Navy.

Soon, Dönitz, who was talking a lot, received the news, so he immediately used radio to conduct combat commands on the captain of the U-shaped submarine that discovered the target, asking the other party to keep a close eye on the movements of the enemy fleet, and wait for the arrival of reinforcements to immediately attack and sink the British escort fleet.

At the same time, he also issued an order to require all U-shaped submarines in the nearby areas and the I 400 series long-range submarines to rush to the target waters, where he assisted Captain Gallian's fleet to annihilate the British escort fleet and transport fleets.

If the movement can be made bigger, then try to make bigger as much as possible to attract the attention of the British and American troops and let them distract themselves from fighting, and better cover Denitz's fleet to attack Tunisia and Algiers and other places.

But just after Denitz completed his combat mission, Admiral John Tovey, the new commander of the British local fleet, also received the latest information from the agents from their Admiralty Department and discovered the whereabouts of Denitz's aircraft carrier fleet.

So the new commander John Tovey immediately dispatched three heavy cruisers, six destroyers, four battleships, as well as two light aircraft carriers, a large number of carrier-based aircraft, and reconnaissance aircraft immediately went to the waters where the Dunitz aircraft carrier fleet was located for tentative reconnaissance.

At the same time, he immediately forwarded the important news to Prime Minister Churchill, Eisenhower, Deputy Commander Alexander, and Commander Cunningham.

Then he summoned all his high-level officers to hold an emergency combat meeting.

Soon, in a small and neat combat meeting, the transportation routes of the current 18 British and American transport fleets were clearly marked. These transport fleets were preparing to transport a large number of weapons and equipment and military supplies to North Africa, preparing to face Rommel's counterattack against North Africa's military storage supplies.

"Just just now, our special forces had reported to our Admiralty the movement of the German aircraft carrier fleet. They were moving towards our Tunisia, and the visitors were not good and their strength was not bad."

"And we are the advance fleet and the stationed fleet in Tunisia, so we are about to fight the German fleet, which suddenly appeared and is coming and going!"

"So I want to discuss with you now whether we have any good combat plans that can withstand this German aircraft carrier fleet? Of course, if we can defeat them and revitalize the authority of our British Empire's maritime overlord, it would be even better!"

When all the officers arrived, the new commander John Tovey immediately gave a straightforward introduction to the battle situation they were about to face.

"So now we know the number, strength and commander of the German aircraft carrier?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a captain named Duodun heavy cruiser immediately stood up and asked.

"I don't know the specific situation yet, but I have dispatched the fleet and reconnaissance planes to test the strength and situation of the German aircraft carrier fleet!"

"So we should soon know the strength and number of the German fleet that suddenly appeared!"

After listening, the new commander John Tovey responded immediately.

"Okay! Then I feel that we should understand the number of German fleets and then build a tactical deployment of combat after we have a clear understanding of the strength! Otherwise, if we rashly dispatch troops without knowing the opponent's background, we might be killed by the German army and attacked him suddenly!"

After hearing this, the heavy cruiser captain Duoton continued to express his opinions.

"Well! I agree with your thoughts, because I plan so, and I have also reported urgently to Prime Minister Churchill, Eisenhower, and General Cunningham!"

"They should also give us new combat instructions soon and dispatch reinforcements to support us!"

Upon hearing this, the new commander John Tovey nodded and responded.
