Chapter 362

The news from the rear refreshed Holland. It is confirmed that the sunk armored ship is the Admiral count Spey, one of the three main escort ships of the German aircraft carrier formation. It is also confirmed that the German aircraft carrier fleet is in its own pursuit direction.

Although his layout is safe, if he is sunk by other armies, as his commander, he will lose a lot of color in his victory. So Holland felt that his myth of being able to personally annihilate the high seas fleet of the German Navy was perfect.

In terms of tactical arrangement, it can be said that he is helpless. In terms of front-line fighting, it can be said that he is extremely brave. This battle is enough to make him famous in the world and to be regarded as the God of British navy.

Because of the terrible speed of the whole fleet, the huge waves splashed from the bow can even rush onto the deck occasionally. The huge bow marches forward bravely on the sea, which makes lieutenant general Holland in a good mood to see all this with the help of weak light.

However, when lieutenant general Holland was in a good mood, at 3:30 a.m., the German naval airfield in Belgium was full of lights, and 30 Stuka dive bombers were being loaded with huge aerial bombs by ground crew. At another field airport not far away, 50 fw-190 fighters with torpedoes are waiting to take off. They will take off in formation at night and then go to the battle site to attack the British fleet at dawn.

At the same time, the 30 do-217 bombers in the military airports in the Netherlands had also been equipped with bombs. They were accompanied by 40 Stuka bombers in the surrounding airports and 30 fw-190d Air Force fighters with auxiliary fuel tanks. These planes will take off at dawn to attack the two battleships, King George V and Howe, who are now fleeing.

The German capital, Berlin, at 1:17 a.m., the head of state, akkado? Rudolph summoned his Navy chief of staff, Randall, and air force chief of staff, Catherine, and inquired in detail about the course of the English Channel war. No one sleeps soundly, the supreme headquarters is full of lights, waiting for a final result that doesn't know whether it's good or bad.

Similarly, in London, the British capital, Churchill looked to the East sky, not knowing whether he was expecting or nervous. Because akado didn't know the beginning of the battle, he slept for two hours; And Churchill has been waiting for news, waiting for the future of the British Empire.

At 3:45 a.m., lieutenant general Holland ordered the fleet to abandon its formation and take destroyers and cruisers as the vanguard to entangle the German naval escort ships and completely seize the German high seas fleet. If this tactic is carried out, the German high seas fleet will be doomed.

Almost at the same time, German fighters from the Netherlands and Belgium took off in droves and flew to their target waters. Nearly 200 planes take off at various airports, whistling across large areas of farmland and forest, heading for the endless sea.

In the North Sea, all the cruisers and destroyers of the British pursuit fleet began to accelerate. The actual distance between the two sides was only 17 kilometers. On the German guard's destroyers, radar soldiers were staring at more than a dozen British warships on the screen, sweating.

"Should we do something?" On the bridge of the class I destroyer, the chief officer is looking forward to asking his captain.

"In order to keep the poison, the gray wolf can't be exposed." The captain sighed and said, "I can die, but I can't die as a German spy. I can only be the destroyer captain of the British Navy

"I'll miss a little bit and throw it into the sea for you." The chief mate said with a smile, "if you don't die, someone will prove it to you."

As he spoke, he took out his pistol and pointed it at the captain: "if you are still alive, tell the poison and let him tell the head of state that I have tried my best for the rise of Germany!"

"Bang!" A gunshot, a bullet hit the captain, that is, the German spy wolf legs, blood immediately came out. The first mate asked the soldiers on the bridge to send the wolf back to the cabin where the British crew were held, and then took over the command of the whole bridge.

"Keep speeding up, between the huld and prestige! Signal prestige that our ship is ready to launch salvo torpedoes to disperse the other destroyers and cruisers. " The chief officer stood on the bridge and gave a loud command.

"Torpedo tubes aim to both sides! Prepare to launch torpedoes at the same time The chief officer stared at the sea ahead and gave one order after another: "the Fuehrer, akado? Long live Rudolph! Long live the Third Reich of great Germany! We will exchange our sacrifice for the greatest victory in the history of the German Navy

"Victory Everyone raised their right hands and yelled. The I-class destroyer is chopping its way forward, bringing it closer to the hood and prestige in the front row, and a British cruiser is speeding up right in front of it.

"Sell a flaw in a moment, let those captured British sailors escape, at least to ensure that a few living people to the captain to testify! Do you understand? " The chief officer looked at his sweaty palm and said with a smile, "we should die here today, but some people have to live! Don't envy those who live, because it's hard to say who is happier than them

Yes, if we can fight for our motherland now, is it a kind of happiness? The living people have to continue to face the terrible environment of naryu, struggle to survive alone in the enemy's lair, continue to sell their brotherly friends, and continue to destroy another country that treats them well. Compared with the dead, these living people may be more miserable. This is the war, this is the war of spies. Like the fire of hell, it burns its heart, suffering every minute and every second. To destroy another country for the sake of the motherland, to murder those familiar faces who laugh loudly in the bar every day for the sake of victory. God, it's about to light up. And the surrounding night also more dark incomparable up, this is the brief darkness before dawn, this is the British Navy's last chance“ Boom The 381 mm main gun on the hood opened fire. Although the distance was not close, it still opened fire, roared and fired its shells at a relatively limited distance“ Boom The prestige Battlecruiser did not want to lag behind. It launched its first volley attack. Although it had only four main guns in front, it still glowed like a dazzling flame in the dark“ Ready to launch the torpedo On the bridge of the class I destroyer, the chief officer frowned and watched the huge warships on both sides launch shells. At this moment, he did not know how far the distance between the two sides was. He could only rely on the behavior of the fleet to make a vague judgment. The destroyer is still accelerating, still overdrawing the power system. The speed of more than 30 knots is much faster than that of hood and prestige, and has been inserted in the middle of two giant warships“ Torpedo! Then release the British sailors The chief officer finally gave the order to occupy the telegraph room! From this moment on, our enemy camp undercover mission is completely over“ Bang A series of sounds were not loud under the influence of the gun fire in the distance. The torpedoes were shot into the water one by one, and immediately a white wave flashed up to the dark sea in the distance. Only a few seconds later, the class I destroyer on the sound of gunfire, British sailors desperate to seize the guard's weapons, the two sides had a fierce exchange of fire. The British marines were so overwhelming that they suppressed a small number of German spies at several places such as the bridge. They recaptured the telegraph room and immediately contacted their own command ship“ General Holland! A destroyer in the fleet sent a strange telegram An officer handed the telegram to Holland: "it says watch out for the right torpedo."“ Right torpedo? More than ten minutes ago, a class I destroyer was going to pass between us and prestige. I thought it was strange... Not good! Order the warships to evade immediately Holland muttered twice, and then immediately broke into a cold sweat. He finally knew the reason why the German Navy was so adventurous, and he finally knew why the uneasiness that he had always felt when he knew he was winning came from. It turns out that this is the biggest nail planted by the Germans in the British navy, and they have chosen this nail so many times“ Oh, my God! Are you really going to destroy the British Empire? " Lieutenant general Holland looked up to the sky and cried out. While he was wailing, there was a violent explosion on the port side of the prestige Battlecruiser, which was as many as three. The three torpedoes nearly hit the side of prestige at the same time, causing a violent explosion“ Aim at that class I destroyer! Fire and sink it! Fire and sink it! Sink it for me The explosion awakened lieutenant general Holland, who was almost unconscious. He grabbed Col. Cole, who was stunned by the sight, and ordered: "fire! Sink it With the help of high speed and long distance, the hood dodged four torpedoes, but the remaining one still hit the hood. And because the hood turned, the torpedo hit the tail of the hood solidly. The sound of the explosion came, and the violent shaking made lieutenant general Holland stagger and support on the chart table. Then the hood's auxiliary guns went on fire, and the shells fell heavily on his own warship. A battle of the English channel, which the British are determined to win, has undergone earth shaking changes because of the imminent defection of a destroyer.
