Chapter 364

"Boom!" After the main gun of the hood had tilted to a certain angle, it still fired one shot, and the huge gun roared like a wail. Because the warship had tilted and could not be aimed, the shell hit the surface of the sea more than 1000 meters away from the periphery of the German high seas fleet.

This shot is the lament and struggle of battleship era, and this shot is the last Elegy of lieutenant general Holland. Although he was doomed to failure, lieutenant general Holland accomplished a feat, a feat of pursuing and killing the German high seas fleet for 9 hours and 47 minutes, and also completed the tragic attempt of the first crazy decisive battle between the Battlecruiser and the other aircraft carrier fleet in human history.

The shell hit the surface of the water, splashing a huge column of water bigger than a warship. Let the sailors on the German warship appreciate the real power of the 381 mm caliber main guns on the battleship. Of course, this night's flight also gave the German Navy a sense of why the British Empire had been called a maritime overlord for 100 years.

Above the sky, the British swordfish attack aircraft formation is pouring out this time. The Royal ark took off the fighter, plus the race God took off the aircraft, but this time a total of 40 swordfish attack aircraft. They were also escorted by 15 new Mirs from the Royal ark.

The Mirs are the naval version of the British Air Force's intrepid fighter, which has an electric turret on its back and four seven. 7 mm machine gun. Of course, the performance of this fighter can't be compared with that of the German fw-190, but it is much better than the original Bulldog biplane fighter used by the British navy. So the Navy's most advanced aircraft carrier, Ark Royal, was equipped with this kind of fighter to catch up with the air gap of the German Navy.

Because of this, at this moment, the dense reflection signals on the German warning radar are not 15 British fighters, but a total of 55 aircraft. Of course, when several German radar destroyers confirmed the number of British aircraft for the second time, they raised the alert level to the highest level, and the number of British fighters was also revised to at least 40.

"God! Are you really no longer protecting the British Empire? " On the aircraft carrier Ark Royal, the flagship of the British northern encirclement fleet, damage control commander George let the early morning sea breeze blow his face, sighed and said: "the telegram just sent by lieutenant general Holland, he is sinking with the hood."

In fact, George has wronged God. In the night battle, the British Royal Navy cruiser hood hit the German admiral count Spey with its second fire. It can be said that the British naval artillery is well-trained, but no one doubts the luck element.

Moreover, in the process of his escape at night, lutjans changed his course only once because of his prudence, and was found by the British submarine. This is also the result of the British fleet's luck. Just imagine if lutjans left the bait and led his troops to risk another turn, he would have at least a 70% chance to avoid the British fleet. But the reality is that lutjans did not do so, and almost ruined the entire high seas fleet.

In addition, the overall cooperation and communication between the German Navy and the British navy are still slow along the way. For example, a German submarine happens to be near the route of the British navy on the way. If the contact can be made in advance, the submarine may create a miracle of interception on the way. Unfortunately, the submarine did not get the order to dive, because it took the passing high seas fleet of the German Navy as a British warship. As we all know, submarine can't receive communication signal underwater, so this submarine missed the command from headquarters.

But then again, compared with the luck of the German high seas fleet, the luck of the British navy is undoubtedly extremely poor. First of all, in the choice of pursuing troops, the Navy's Tianzi No.1 spy ship, which is more than half of the German spies, was chosen. The second is that in the process of pursuit, we should not disrupt the formation and charge freely at the end, giving the spy destroyer an opportunity.

Of course, the next day, with a clear sky and little wind and waves, the German Navy could take off, and the carrier based aircraft could fight back smoothly, which was also the last straw to kill the camel. So the Royal Navy, God's favorite, this time met the German Navy, God's own son, so it occupied the right time, place and people, and had to taste the bitter fruit of failure.

Jingte? Laer flew the plane to confirm the target of invasion on the radar. Behind his fw-190 fighter, there were 20 fighter planes piloted by German naval aviation. It was just because he waited for these fighters to form in the sky that the British attack fleet was less than 10 kilometers away from the German aircraft carrier fleet.

"Wait a minute, no dogging on all fighters! The highest goal is to destroy each other's torpedo attackers and bombers. Do you understand? " Jingte? As he climbed up to meet the enemy, LAL alerted his comrades on the radio.

In the earphone, came the voice of the German aircraft carrier air force command room: "radar confirmed that you have encountered each other! Watch your bottom! Don't miss a British plane

"The enemy plane is down there! Look for the target Jingte? LAL shakes the control lever slightly, adjusts the plane's posture, and then gives his own order loudly.

"I understand! Captain! I'm following you up. I see the British fighter below His wingman replied loudly“ Above the British fighter, there is the kind of fearless fighter encountered by the air force, with electric turrets on it. I see it! " The pilot of another plane reported what he had seen“ Deal with it according to the tactics of the air force! In the long distance dive, use the propeller shaft gun to suppress! Pay attention to the shooting accuracy! We can't waste ammunition! " Jingte? LAL didn't have time to lay out the attack plan in detail, because not far behind them was the core air defense circle of the German high seas fleet. As soon as he pushed the control lever of the plane, the fw-190 fighter started its best dive action flexibly. With the roar of the fighter engine, this reliable aircraft has reached the speed of 620 km / h, which makes the Jingte? 190 fighter become more and more powerful? LAL's back pressed against his seat“ Suddenly! Suddenly The British Mirs began to shoot down the German fighter, but because the caliber of the machine gun was too small, these bullets formed a continuous fire net in the sky. But soon the German fighters began to fight back. The 30 mm caliber nose shaft gun fired a powerful shell, which instantly suppressed the small caliber machine gun on the electric turret of the Mirs. Jingte? Lars doesn't have time to chat with these British fighters now. He takes the lead in attacking and firing, directly smashing a poor Mirs fighter into pieces. In terms of the terrible design of 30mm machine gun, the German air force was equipped with fw-190 early to deal with large bombers. Now it is used to deal with these smaller enemy fighters, which can be described as killing chickens with ox knife. The performance advantage of German fighters has not been filled in by the British navy for the time being, so there seems to be no suspense in this battle. Not counting the swordfish attack aircraft, 20 German fw-190 fighters challenge 15 Mirs fighters. If the German fighter force, which has the number advantage, can not win again, it seems that there is no reason. In a dive attack, German fighters broke up the formation of British fighters. Two of the British fighters fell into the sea with black smoke tails, and two were smashed to pieces in the air. And the German air force also took two swordfish attack planes to shoot down and fall into the sea, completing a clean interception. The British fighters were in a panic, but they still rushed to the direction of the German aircraft carrier fleet. However, they soon knew that this regardless of the cost was not feasible, because in the direction of the German aircraft carrier formation, there were 16 fw-190 fighters. There are more than 280 aircraft on the German aircraft carrier (because a few helicopters were added half a month ago), while the British aircraft carrier fleet has only about 80 aircraft. This is an absolute quantitative gap, which can not be made up in a short time. It is also the only advantage for the German Navy to seize the sea power in a short time. So when the German Navy sent two groups of 80 attack planes and fighter planes to attack the hood, 36 fighter planes could be used for fleet air defense. What is big hand? This is big hand! The British attack aircraft troops were in a mess immediately. Although they were still flying to the position of the German aircraft carrier, the formation was completely disrupted by the German fighters. The British aircraft that lost the cover of formation formation were more passive. The disadvantage in speed and the technical gap made the whole British air force have no capital to resist. With the tearing up of 36 German fighters, 20 British planes have been shot down, and the rest are unable to maintain the attack formation. Although the German carrier fleet could be seen from a distance, the British pilots could not get closer to their targets. They made several attempts, were shot down by German fighters, but the rest of the British swordfish attack aircraft are hard to put the torpedo into the sea. At this distance, British torpedoes can't hit German ships. At most, they can make the whole German fleet panic, and then the fleet formation is a little bit chaotic. Even the direction of most torpedoes can't affect the German Navy at all. However, the British navy air force was forced to throw out the torpedoes, and the German Navy interceptor formation did not intend to let go of these poor British swordfish. After a rush, only two poor Mirs were left in the British Navy fighters to speed up their escape, and all the remaining 53 planes were lost in the airspace near the German Navy. Of course, the two fleeing Mirs may be celebrating their own survival, but they don't seem to notice that the 20 German fw-190 fighters with torpedoes and small bombs are following them above the clouds--------------------- Longling has been working overtime for a week, 3 shifts a day, tired and dazzled. I hope you can enjoy it. On the last day of this week, I'd like to ask for monthly tickets, reward recommended tickets, comment and leave messages for group chat!
