Imperial Overlord

"It's diving! It's running! It's diving!" Standing on the side of the ship, the British sailor called the U-47 submarine, which was illuminated by the second flare.

The pattern painted on the U-47 enclosure was very clear on the flares, and the pattern of the gasping cow made the British sailors who looked here wide-eyed.

This German submarine is so beautiful, and most of its slender body has sunk into the Atlantic Ocean at this time.

In the churning waves, the turbulent sea water finally flooded the deck of the submarine, and the 88mm anti-aircraft gun mounts in front of the enclosure were also submerged in the water.

Soon, under the eyes of the British sailors, only one hull of the German submarine was left on the water, and the British destroyer at this time had not yet arrived nearby.

"Look at the water clearly! Be careful of the enemy's torpedoes!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the enemy was about to leave.

However, the nearby sunken transport ship and the explosion that did not completely stop were all frightening.

The flares shot up into the air one after another, as if this would give the sailors of the fleet a little comfort.

On the rough sea, there was no trace of the German submarine. The waves that were rolling just now have been dispersed by the waves of the sea, leaving no traces.

As if there wasn't a ship there at all, a feeling that terrified all British sailors who saw the German submarine.

Just like a ghost, the depressing feeling that the elusive German submarine brings to everyone is the kind of trembling fear that goes deep into the bone marrow.

It's still the invisible sense of oppression. The most dangerous time for the enemy is not when they attack face to face, but when you can't see the opponent but feel that the opponent is nearby.

"Damn it! They won't lock us down, will they?" The captain on the bridge asked the military personnel around him with a horrified expression when he heard that the German submarine was diving into the sea nearby.

After all, this is a transport fleet. In order to coordinate the fleet and give the necessary training to the crew, each transport ship has a corresponding military representative.

"Probably... Probably not..." At this time, seeing that the fleet had suffered heavy losses, the military representatives had no confidence to draw their own conclusions.

"Steer immediately, change the speed... Do your best to maneuver to get rid of the torpedo." The captain glanced at his military personnel, seeing that there was nothing he could do, so he had to think of countermeasures by himself.

"No! At this time, we can't change the course arbitrarily, it will collide with other ships!" Because this is a huge transport fleet, changing the course and changing the speed in the formation is a very dangerous thing.

You must know that there have been many vicious incidents of naval warships colliding with each other in the UK, so I am very concerned about this aspect.

However, in this case, if the course and speed are not changed, it is simply the best target for torpedoes launched by German submarines.

"Don't do this... If we get hit, it's all over!" The captain said, looking at the sunk transport ship with almost one mast left on the water in the distance.

Everyone has already seen what the transport ship that was sunk by torpedoes looked like. If such an explosion experience is on his own ship, no one will be spared.

This night was like a nightmare for the J-18 fleet. The long night has only just begun, but now the disaster has begun.

"The escorting destroyer has sent a message that all transport ships will increase their speed by 2 knots!" The crew who put down their headphones and operated the radio shouted loudly.

Now this news is undoubtedly good news for all transport ships, everyone here wants to get out of this hellish place, and the sooner the better.

"Okay! Now there is an order! Get out of here!" The captain quickly gave an order to speed up: "Increase the speed, let's get out of here! Hurry up!"

It seemed that he had been suppressed for a long time. In an instant, his transport ship increased its speed, and all the surrounding ships began to speed up.

There were still explosions from time to time around. The German submarines on the periphery of the fleet did not leave. They launched torpedoes and launched a frantic attack on the British fleet.

One transport ship after another was hit by torpedoes fired by German submarines, and the hit ships began to sink slowly, disappearing into the sea.

This time the German navy has concentrated more submarine forces than any previous attack because of sufficient intelligence.

Therefore, the scale of this attack also surprised the British **** fleet. Their protection was clearly inadequate and was exploited by the greater number of German submarines.

Soon, German submarines sank more than 20 British transport ships, and several transport ships were seriously injured. It was only a matter of time before the sinking.

In the end, the destroyers of the British Navy have become the target of the German Navy submarine force. A British destroyer was sunk, and it sank to the bottom of the sea with the transport ship it was to protect.

Just when everyone thought the nightmare was over, two transport ships that were impatiently accelerated collided, and one of them was soon paralyzed there because of flooding.

Alerted to the darkness around them, the J-18 transport fleet accelerated out of this sea after experiencing this unexpected catastrophe, and until the end, they did not find the German submarine that attacked them.

When the day came and the first ray of dawn shone on the sea, the entire fleet felt like a new life.

German submarine forces sank 29 British transport ships and one destroyer in one go. The news of the heavy losses of the J-18 fleet also arrived in London at this time.

Just as Churchill sat up from his bed, he was informed by his secretary that the J-18 convoy transporting important cargo was attacked by a German submarine.

"What?" After hearing the code name of the fleet J-18, Churchill was stunned for a moment, then suddenly raised his head with an expression of disbelief.

He promised General Dawding that he would give him enough fighter jets, which was based on this J-18 transport fleet.

If the Germans knew what they had sunk, they might not even close their mouths with laughter.

In the J-18 transport fleet, most of the transport ships are loaded with semi-finished aircraft parts urgently purchased by the United Kingdom from Canada and the United States!

These things have to be shipped to the British mainland to make up for the losses caused by the weakening of the British factory by the Luftwaffe, and to maintain the production of fighter jets this month and next month!

There are also a full 140 engines shipped here from Canada for emergency production, to be equipped on the Hurricane fighter...

"What's the loss?" Now that the J-18 convoy was attacked, Churchill was most concerned about how much damage the fleet suffered now.

The navy officer who came to inform him looked bad, which made Churchill feel the crisis all of a sudden. The other party was a little regretful, looking into Churchill's eyes and not knowing what to say.

Churchill didn't have time to look at his expression, and said angrily, "Either hurry up, or shut up and I'll see it myself."

"The message said, the loss is heavy!" The officer spoke in a low voice, but Churchill still felt like a thunderbolt, which was very shocking.

Churchill had already walked to the door, because Germany had bombed London for three days in a row, and today was the day when General Dowding had to let the Air Force join the war, so he slept in the lounge next to his office.

Now, he regrets sleeping here. He looked at the officer behind him, frowned and asked, "What's going on? Isn't the **** of the J-18 fleet very strict? Why was it attacked by a German submarine?"

After sorting out the thoughts in his mind, Churchill, who had just woken up, immediately thought of the German spies!

It has only been a month since the incident with the H fleet. The loss of the Air Force made him extremely painful. Now that something happened to the Navy, he naturally thought of the problem of enemy spies.

"The enemy knows our plan! The German spies are active again!" He gritted his teeth with hatred, and he almost had the urge to kill.

Subconsciously, he felt that he should kill the German intelligence group first, and then consider other matters!

After all, facing an enemy who knows everything like this is a very painful thing.

He stopped, looked at the officer behind him, and said coldly, "Let the Admiralty sort out the report of the attack on the fleet! I'll read it in the afternoon!"

Then, the already haggard British Prime Minister continued to walk towards his office.

The J-18 incident made him not even in the mood to eat, because every loss of a ship in the transport fleet was a huge blow to the British Empire.

Churchill doesn't know yet that 110 of the engines for the 140 Hurricane fighter jets he had high hopes for are now lying on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.

In addition, what he didn't know was that several transport ships in the J-18 fleet that transported important fighter parts in the core parts had been sunk by the U-47 submarine that sank the battleship Royal Oak!

"Hey! I'm Churchill, please answer the phone with General Dawding!" He grabbed the phone on the table and instructed the operator.

Soon, the phone was connected, and Daoding had obviously started a day's work.

"Today, I hope that when the German plane flies over London, your plane will be able to take off to meet!" Because he was in a bad mood, Churchill's tone was a little blunt when he spoke.

Dawding didn't know about the J-18 fleet, so he could only bite the bullet and promise: "If the Luftwaffe continues to bomb the capital London, I will order the fighter units to take off to face the enemy! Please don't worry!"
