"Boom!" Hood's main gun still fired after it had been tilted to a certain angle, and the huge artillery gave a roar similar to mourning. Because the warship was tilted and there was no way to aim, the shell hit more than a thousand meters from the outside of the German high seas fleet.
This artillery is the grieving struggle of the battleship era, this artillery is the last elegy of Admiral Holland. Although doomed to failure, Lieutenant General Holland completed a feat, a feat that hunted down the German high seas fleet for 9 hours and 47 minutes, and also completed the first crazy use of battlecruisers and opposing carrier fleets A tragic attempt at the decisive battle.
The shells hit the water and splashed a huge water column taller than the battleship. Let the sailors on the German battleship appreciate the true power of the 381 mm caliber guns on the battleship. Of course, the stubborn escape this night also allowed the German navy to understand why the British Empire was known as a sealord for a hundred years.
Above the sky, the British swordfish attack aircraft formation came out this time. The fighter planes that took off on the Royal Ark, plus the planes that took off on the Athletics God, this time were a total of 40 swordfish attack aircraft. He also escorted 15 new Dapeng fighters on the Royal Ark.
This Dapeng fighter is the naval version of the British Air Force's fearless fighter, that is, the weird fighter with an electric turret and four 7.7 mm caliber machine guns on its back. Of course, the performance of this fighter cannot be compared with the German fw-190, but it is really much stronger than the original bulldog biplane fighter used by the British Navy. So the Navy ’s most advanced aircraft carrier, the Royal Ark, was equipped with this fighter aircraft to catch up with the German Navy ’s air gap.
That is why, at this moment, the dense reflection signal on the German warning radar is not 15 British fighters, but a whole 55 aircraft. Of course, when several radar destroyers in Germany 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 revised to a minimum of 40.
"God! Don't you really bless the British Empire anymore?" On the flagship aircraft carrier USS Ark of the North British confinement fleet, the commander-in-chief George let the morning sea breeze blow his face and sighed. Said: "The telegram just sent by Lieutenant General Holland is sinking with the Hood."
In fact, George was wronging God a little bit. It stands to reason that God still likes the British Navy very much. During the night battle, the British Royal Navy's Battlecruiser Hood hit the second Admiral of the German Navy Earl Spey. This can be said to be well-trained British artillery, but no one doubts the luck component.
Moreover, during the night's escape, Lütjens changed his course only once because of excessive caution, and was also discovered by the British submarine. This is also the result of the luck of the British fleet. Imagine if Lütjens left the bait to lead the troops to take another risky turn, at least 70% of the probability could avoid the British fleet. But the reality is that Lütjens didn't do this, and almost buried the entire high seas fleet.
In addition, the overall coordination and contact of the German navy on this route is still a bit slow. For example, on the way of the pursuit, there is a German submarine that happens to be near the British navy route. If you can contact in advance, then this submarine has May create a miracle of interception halfway. It is a pity that this submarine dived without being ordered because it regarded the passing German high seas fleet as a British warship. As we all know, the submarine cannot receive communication signals underwater, so this submarine also missed the order from the headquarters.
But then again, if compared with the luck of the German high seas fleet, the British Navy's luck is undoubtedly extremely bad. First of all, in the choice of chasing troops, he had chosen the spy ship No. 1 of the Chinese Navy Spy. The second is that in the process of chasing, you should not disrupt the formation of free charge at the end, giving the spy destroyer an opportunity.
Of course, the clear skies and the wind and waves were not great the next day, so that the German navy could take off the carrier-based aircraft and fight back smoothly. This was the last straw that killed the camel. Therefore, the British Royal Navy, God's darling, met this time with the German navy, God's pro-son, so he occupied the right place and had to taste the bitter fruit of failure.
Günter Lal piloted the aircraft to confirm the intrusion target on the radar, and behind this fw-190 fighter, there were a full of 20 German naval aviation fighters, precisely because they were waiting for these fighters in the sky. In the formation, the British attack aircraft fleet was only less than 10 kilometers away from the German aircraft carrier fleet.
"Wait for a while, all fighters are forbidden to fight! The highest goal is to destroy each other's torpedo attack aircraft and bombers. Do you understand?" Gent? Ral reminded his comrades on the radio as he climbed up to prepare for the enemy.
In the headset, a voice from the command room of the German aircraft carrier aviation force came: "The radar confirms that you have encountered the other party! Pay attention to your below! Don't miss a British aircraft!"
"The enemy plane is below! Pay attention to finding the target!" Gent Lal shakes the joystick slightly, adjusts the attitude of the plane, and then gives his orders loudly.
"Understood! Captain! I am climbing with you, and I see the British fighter below." His wingman replied loudly.
"On top of the British fighter, there is the fearless fighter of the kind encountered by the Air Force, with an electric turret on it. I saw it!" The pilot of the other aircraft reported the enemy situation he saw.
"According to the Air Force's tactics! Dive at a long distance and use a propeller central axis gun to suppress! Pay attention to the accuracy of the shot! We can't waste ammunition!" Gent? Lal has no time to lay out the attack plan in detail because they are not behind Far, it is the core air defense circle of the German high seas fleet.
As soon as he pushed the joystick of the aircraft, the fw-190 fighter flexibly began the most proficient dive. With the roar of the fighter engine, this reliable aircraft was close to 620 kilometers per hour. The back was clinging to his seat.
"Suddenly! Suddenly!" The British Dapeng fighters clinging together began to shoot at the German fighters that swooped down, but because the caliber of the machine gun was too small, these bullets formed a continuous fire in the sky. network.
But soon the German fighters started to fight back. The shells fired by the 30mm caliber head-shaft gun were so powerful that they instantly suppressed the small-caliber machine gun on the electric turret of the Dapeng fighter.
Gent Lal now has no time to chat with these British fighters. He took the lead in attacking and opened fire first, directly breaking a poor Dapeng fighter into pieces. Talking about the terrible 30mm gun design, the Luftwaffe was equipped with the fw-190 early to deal with large bombers. Now it is used to deal with these smaller enemy fighters. It can be described as a knife.
The performance advantages of the German fighters have not been filled by the British Navy for the time being, so there is no suspense in this battle, not counting the swordfish attack aircraft. 20 German fw-190 fighters challenge 15 Dapeng fighters. Germany, which has a numerical advantage If the fighter unit can't win again, it seems to be unreasonable.
In one dive attack, the German fighters broke up the formation of the British fighter group. Two British fighter jets with smoky tails dropped onto the sea, and two were directly smashed into the air. The Luftwaffe also took down two swordfish attack planes and crashed into the sea, neatly completing an interception.
The British fighters panicked, but still rushed in the direction of the German aircraft carrier fleet, but they soon learned that this costless play seemed to not work, because 16 more aircraft flew in the direction of the German aircraft carrier formation. fw-190 fighter. There are more than 280 aircraft on the German aircraft carrier (because a few more helicopters were added half a month ago), while the British aircraft carrier fleet has only a poor family of more than 80 aircraft.
This is a gap in absolute quantity, a gap that cannot be filled in the short term, and is the only advantage that the German navy can seize in the short term. So when the German Navy sent two batches of 80 attack aircraft and fighter jets to attack the Hood, 36 fighter jets could also be drawn for fleet air defense.
What is big handwriting, this is big handwriting! The British attack aircraft unit immediately disorganized its position, although it was still flying towards the position of the German aircraft carrier, but the formation was completely disrupted by the German fighters into a mess.
British aircraft that have lost their formation formation cover are more passive. Speed ​​disadvantages and technical gaps make the entire British air force even have no capital to resist. With the tearing of 36 German fighters, 20 British aircraft have been shot down, and the rest of the aircraft cannot even maintain the attack formation.
Although the German aircraft carrier fleet can even be seen from afar, the British pilots still have no way to get closer to their goals. They made several attempts and were shot down by German fighters. In desperation, the remaining British swordfish attack planes threw their torpedoes into the sea.
At this distance, the British torpedoes would certainly not be able to hit the German ships, at most it would make the entire German fleet panic, and then the fleet formation was slightly chaotic, and even the direction of most torpedoes could not affect the German navy at all.
However, the British Navy ’s aviation forces were forced to throw torpedoes. The German Navy ’s interception fighter formations did not intend to let go of these poor British swordfish. Under some rush, the British Navy ’s fighters were only pitiful. The two Dapengs accelerated to escape, and the remaining 53 aircraft were all thrown into the airspace near the German Navy.
Of course, the two Dapeng who escaped may be fortunate that their disaster was not dead, but they did not seem to notice that they followed their 20 German fw-190 fighter jets with torpedoes and small bombs above the clouds.
