"Now, I am now facing 8-9 escorts. I am not sure how to get past the screen. It looks to be like there may now be multiple lead escorts, four point escorts, and multiple trailer escorts. I am not sure how I should make my approach. Any suggestions?"

NO. This is the reason the U-Boat war was lost. Wolf packs helped for a brief time, but the escorts and air cover doomed the U-Boats.
The type XXI could have helped if it were available in '43.
