Chapter 229: Tragic

Biquge EbookFREE.me, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
What is it that a dog is anxious to jump a wall? What is a rabbit anxious to bite? This is the case with the German navy now. With a tragic mood, similar to a desperate woman surrounded by a strong man-finally remembered that there was a pistol in his purse ...
"This battle is too uncomfortable. I'm more suitable for commanding the artillery duel between battleships or heavy cruisers." Lütjens put down the telescope in his hand. This is a habit he has developed for many years. Now But he found that he could not see the target he wanted to attack at all: "This method of attacking opponents with an aircraft out of sight is really depressing."
When you can't see your own results with your own eyes, and you can't enjoy the thrill of attacking the enemy's fist to the flesh, the fun of fighting will disappear. Instead of endless calculations and the suffocating and lingering tension, this is absolutely unprecedented for a commander.
So you must understand Japan ’s obsession with big ships and giant artillery during World War II. This is definitely for a reason: the kind of watching your own shells hit the enemy ’s hull, then burst and tear, and build the other party millions of pounds. The battleship was scrapped into scrap iron, and then watched as it slowly sank to the bottom of the sea. This enjoyment is really fascinating-of course, I am obsessed with obsession, and everyone knows the actual effect.
Another pressure comes from the fear of the new tactics. So far, there are people in the Navy who believe that the battleships that have accompanied them for decades, believe that the armor on these Tyrannosaurus-like steel behemoths can resist the launch of those mosquito-like aircraft. The bomb also has a torpedo.
This distrust of the power of carrier-based aircraft attacks and confidence in the battleship's protection system have flooded the navies of all countries. At least Japan, the United States, and the United Kingdom, the world's leading naval powers, are not as crazy as Germany to eliminate battleships and heavy cruisers move. Therefore, Lütjens was even more anxious. He really did not know whether he was dying or changing the history of world naval warfare.
Just now, 15 fighters with torpedoes have been launched, and 15 other fighters have also taken off. As the air defense force of the entire fleet, they are standing by in the clouds. Another 30 navy two-seater Stuttgarts have already flown to their targets. They are going to attack the main force of the British navy fleet that is encircling north of the German fleet.
"The news we just sent, in the northwest of us, we found the battleship USS Hood of the Royal Navy, and vaguely saw two aircraft carriers follow." The chief mate frowned and said to Lütjens: "The British The main force seems to be north of us, which is really unintelligible. "
"Nothing is hard to understand." Lütjens looked at the charts spread on the chart analysis table and thought for a while: "They didn't come at us, but to wipe out our high seas fleet. Yes! Call me the aircraft carrier Tilbitz and order them to send all the remaining carrier aircraft, heading south, attacking all the targets they can find. "
"Zheng Nan?" The first officer was stunned, not knowing why Lütjens had to command so.
"Yes, Zhengnan!" Lütjens nodded and said, "After all the carrier-based aircraft take off, the fleet is ordered to turn immediately and head south at full speed."
"Aren't we going back to Kiel Junction?" The first officer was a little distrustful of the orders he heard.
"The main force of the British Navy is in our northwest direction. If we insist on going north, we will encounter them soon. But if we insist on going south, then at least we have the opportunity to join General Redel in the south." Si explained that, then stared at the chart for a while.
Immediately after he raised his head, he seemed to have made up his mind and said, "I will immediately send a message to General Redel and tell them that we will go south, hoping that they can respond."
"General, those British navy destroyers and cruisers in the south, what shall we do?" The first officer asked the most terrible question.
Lütjens raised his eyebrows and gritted his teeth. "We are in a state of war with the United Kingdom. Although we are reluctant to admit that there is a certain difference from the actual war, it is a state of war between our two countries. . Then there is only one option for the enemy navy in a state of war: sink it. "
"In addition, after issuing an order to the attacked Northern Air Forces and returning immediately after a threatening attack," Lütjens said after thinking for a while, "No matter how great the results are in the north, we cannot change the status quo of our fleet being surrounded. , So we have to save troops and break through the south. "
So a lively competition game was staged on the German aircraft carrier. Both aircraft carriers used the fastest speed to release the remaining aircraft in the opposite direction.
After dispatching all the aircraft, the entire fleet began to turn around and a huge fleet made a huge turning track on the sea. The carrier-based fighters that had just traveled to the north then returned, because the commanders of the German naval carrier-based fighters worried that their aircraft could not find a fleet that changed course.
Immediately following was the chaotic scene of the aircraft carrier receiving the landing of the carrier aircraft. Although the fuel was sufficient, the fw-190, which had hurriedly dropped the torpedoes and bombs, and Stuka rushed to land to replenish ammunition. The deck was full of just stabilized planes, and there were ground crews who were busy pushing these planes aside to make way for landing planes behind.
Although the usual strict training and the rigorous work style of the Germans made the chaotic emergency landing and landing tasks in the chaos no trouble, but still let Lütjens watch all this on the bridge Out of the cold sweat. It seems that this kind of invisible enemy naval warfare is not just that he is not very used to it, but every German navy is not.
Behind the entire German fleet, on the bridge of a destroyer, the captain lowered his telescope. The radar screen had seen the dense spot of the British navy. A few seconds ago, a huge water column exploded not far away, and the British had begun to correct their artillery.
If you are driving at the current speed, the German fleet you just turned cannot escape the pursuit and strangling of the British ship. The battle fleet consisting of battlecruisers and cruisers will soon bite the German fleet, eating away the German fleet exposed to British artillery little by little. If it is not possible, even the First Fleet on the high seas rushing over to be reinforced will be eaten up by the British army.
"Adjust the course, continue to turn west, leave a firing position for the torpedo on the side, call the sailors of all posts, and generate electricity for the flagship. The ship is the rear of the fleet." The captain lit the pipe in his mouth, A big beard like a hedgehog shuddered and said, "For the future of the high seas fleet! Fight to the last moment!"
"I'm sorry, everyone. I'm a veteran who has participated in Operation Rainbow, and I don't want to face the ending of the high seas fleet again." Bearded smiled embarrassedly, and then ordered: "The course is fixed, all torpedo fans are in the same shape. Shoot! "
"It's okay! As long as our fleet is safe, there will always be a chance to avenge us!" The first officer said with a smile.
"Death is not a captive! Let the British see, our German destroyer is great!" The helmsman said with a smile.
With a slight tremor, 10 large torpedoes flew into the sea in the direction of the dense British pursuit fleet, so there was no need to aim or not to aim: this is a barrage shot that interferes with the enemy ’s pursuit, as long as the other party finds the torpedo to evade, That is just like the German fleet in the steering, unable to increase the speed for a moment and a half.
"Reload torpedoes immediately! Before hitting, hit all torpedoes out!" Bearded glanced at the huge water column hit by the shells on the side, and commanded loudly: "Let the deck sailor put down the boat, the gunner and Soldiers who do not want to die can get on the rescue boat! The British will pick them up. "
"The torpedo has been loaded! You can launch it at any time!" After a while, the chief mate reported the report loudly.
"Salvo! Then there is no need to report, shoot freely!" The captain laughed loudly: "We have entered the range of the British battleship's secondary gun and can't escape, gentlemen."
"Long live the heads of state!" The first officer shouted with a blank face.
"Long live the German Navy." Bearded also solemnly said.
The torpedoes flew into the sea one by one, and quickly swam towards the British fleet that had appeared on the sea level in the distance, but because of the conspicuous flight path, it could only act as a disturbance at this distance. The record is almost impossible to achieve. However, in order to avoid these torpedoes, the speed of the British Navy's pursuit fleet is obviously a bit slow.
Seeing that the German main fleet was released, the British army began to speed up the chase, and at the same time vented their hatred to fire this disturbing German destroyer. However, due to range problems, only the main gun of the battleship with a caliber of 380 mm and the main gun of the heavy cruiser of 280 mm can hit the German destroyer.
However, because the German destroyer was facing the British fleet sideways, and the British fleet was pursuing directly, the distance between the two sides was getting closer. Soon, a single shell hit the German destroyer, and the powerful impact force folded the entire hull in half. Because the power of the 380 mm caliber artillery was too great, even half of the bridges flew into the sky.
Soon the entire battlefield fell silent. It took less than 5 minutes for this destroyer, who sacrificed himself to drag the British Navy, from being hit to sinking. There are two life buoys floating on the surface of the sea, and several pieces of broken wooden planks. This is the only proof that there was a boat here. The battleship of the Royal Navy passed by quickly, and no survivor was found.
