Darlang vowed that he was so happy when he first met the Luftwaffe in his life. When dense German fighters besieged British aircraft in the sky, Darlang issued an order to repair the Dunkirk and withdraw from the battle.
"General, don't we get entangled now and help the German Air Force kill the offending British fleet?" Darlang's adjutant asked, frowning.
"It's easy to chase it out, but if the British pull us back before they die, the Resolution and King George V will definitely let us sink to the bottom of the sea before sinking." Darlang said with a helpless sigh: "And we There is no ability to chase now, we only have 4 main guns, and the speed of the battleship is also affected. "
Amid the roaring sound of the engine and the warm cheers of the French sailors, in just a few minutes, the Luftwaffe tore more than 30 British aircraft to pieces. Because of the huge gap in technical superiority and tactical superiority, the Luftwaffe can often be reminiscent of a group of vultures when they fight more and less. These large mechanical birds hover and dive in the sky, tearing the prey into a few pieces back and forth.
Victory in the sky saved the French fleet within the military port from extinction, and the British gave up the bombardment as expected, and began to accelerate to escape, but whether they can escape the joint hangout of the German navy and air force is another matter. Too.
In the attitude of not suspending himself, Darlan began to command the troops to reduce losses and repair warships. There was a mess in the harbour. Almost half of the French ships were injured by the British. A heavy cruiser and a light cruiser sank. A gunboat became a pile of scrap iron. The only aircraft carrier was also destroyed.
The British proved their strength with their actual actions. Even when most of the main losses were lost and morale was low, the accuracy of artillery maintained by good training was more than that of the French Navy. Although the whole artillery battle lasted only less than half an hour, the British hit the target as many as 11 times, while the French only hit the determination one time.
Although this is due to the fact that the French are in the port, the warships are relatively dense and most of them cannot move, while the British naval ships move at high speed outside the port. However, the gap between the training level of the two sides and the artillery skills is still very obvious.
Even the German navy marshal Redell who rushed to the Brest naval port to appease the French navy was shocked by the British artillery level: the Admiral Spey was quickly sunk during the night battle, and the French navy was hit hard by the artillery battle The main force-this kind of strength is indeed not an opponent that can be overcome by head-to-head combat.
Redell later said in his diary: "I only now know how brilliant the head of state was when planning the construction of the navy. The Royal Navy was almost impeccable both in quantity and quality. If it was not for the head of state to use naval aviation to change the naval warfare mode, even if With 20 battleships, Germany cannot guarantee the superiority of the sea ... let alone extract such brilliant results. "
The gunpowder of the Brest Military Port has not yet dissipated, and the naval battle not far from the military port has begun. 80 aircraft of the German naval aviation screamed and began to storm the British navy fleet, and the British navy fleet returned while fleeing. The scene has not fallen in the wind for a while.
If the British Royal Navy ’s mission to attack the French Fleet is to attack the French fleet, the British Navy ’s commanders dare to carry out the courage, then fighting with the German Navy ’s high seas fleet during the day is undoubtedly lending these British captains a courage. A situation where people dare to fight. At the moment when I saw the German naval carrier aircraft, almost all the British warships had only one thought left—that is, hurry to escape.
Frightened, the commander of the Royal Ark Carrier Lawrence was naturally the smartest escaper: he had taken three destroyers down south 20 minutes ago, and he has almost left the main battlefield, plus the route he chose It was south rather than north, and it escaped the key interception area of the German navy. It really escaped the pursuit of the German navy.
However, in addition to the lucky carrier Ark Royal, the other major battleships involved in the British Navy ’s operation this time were not so lucky, and the battleship Determination, which was hit once by a shell, damaged several anti-aircraft gun positions and caused air defense. There is a vacuum in firepower. So he noticed this flawed German fighter plane as if he saw a carrion vulture, as if he smelled a fishy fly, and swarmed towards the wounded British battleship of determination.
A Stuka dive bomber trapped his target at high altitude with a sight, screaming and screaming, and two 20 mm caliber guns on the wing ejected the tongue of fire, and the tracer flew in a straight line. Swept towards the middle of the ship of the determination, hitting a dazzling Mars.
In a position close enough, Stuka dropped the 500-kilogram aerial bomb mounted under the belly, and then suddenly pulled the nose up. The speed of the entire aircraft dropped sharply, and the bomb rushed directly to the chimney of the battleship Decision. The entire determination was shaken slightly by the huge impact force.
Several British sailors on the nearby anti-aircraft artillery position saw the bomb penetrate some armored parts in the middle and rushed all the way into the interior of the battleship. They closed their eyes in despair, praying countless times in their hearts that the bomb would not cause much damage.
Suddenly their feet shook violently, as if they felt an earthquake of magnitude 8 on land. The center of the entire battleship was bulged like a balloon by a huge impact force, and then with a dull loud noise, the entire deformed hull fell back quickly, and the huge airflow spread out, putting it on the deck All the sailors flew into the sky.
"The determination is over!" The captain with a pointed jaw sighed on the Cambridge of the battleship King George V, who was frantically throwing a barrage into the sky, avoiding torpedoes next to him. The adjutant ordered: "Continue to maintain air-to-air shooting, the battleship accelerates to the maximum, let the surrounding cruisers and destroyers keep up, give up the determination, keep the formation to continue north."
"The Royal Ark is heading south, and they have gotten rid of contact with German aircraft." A telegraph officer handed over a message and reported it loudly.
"Asshole! The last time I lost the Athletics God, I ran myself, and this time I threw us back to the Germans, and ran myself!" The British captain spit in hate: "This Lawrence! When I go back, I can't spare he!"
"The rage lost contact, and a destroyer confirmed that the rage was hit by a torpedo. This is the last news we got from the rage." The adjutant said with a sigh: "If we are finished this time, then the UK The navy's indigenous fleet is completely finished. "
"Don't be discouraged! Left rudder, advance at full speed!" The captain frowned, commanding loudly: "Fight against the air to continue shooting! You go to the outside air podium, let the person in charge of air defense pay attention to the high and low altitude The position cannot allow German fighters to take advantage of it! "
Just when he gave the order, the middle of the battleship Determination, which had fallen behind, had broken apart, and the bow and stern began to rise, breaking into two pieces and sinking at extremely high speed. There were oil stains everywhere on the sea, as well as dead bodies and some broken wooden boards and life buoys.
At the core of the original British naval fleet, the aircraft carrier Fury had already ignited a blaze of fire, and the thick smoke billowed to the sky with a hot breath. A German aerial bomb hit the bridge of the aircraft carrier wrath accurately, completely destroyed the command system of the aircraft carrier in an instant, and then attacked the flowing water, three torpedoes hit the side of the aircraft carrier wrath, the entire The aircraft carrier rolled and the ammunition was exploded. The interior was no different from an oven.
Although the British had hit the French navy this time, they also took their last point. The German fleet was chasing the last British battleship King George V, and the rest of the battleship Shen Shen, Half of the injured wounds have lost their combat capabilities-as long as anyone who is not stupid knows, the British Royal Navy's local fleet is over.
Lawrence looked at the sea not far away. It seemed calm and refreshing, but neither he nor George around him knew that there must be a sea of fire and disaster. Although they escaped the pursuit of the German navy fleet, they reserved the last aircraft carrier capable of combat for the British, but everyone knows that the British Royal Navy is already the end of the hero of the Nishibo West Mountain.
The Mediterranean fleet has long been overwhelmed by the Italian navy; the Japanese army of the Far East has fallen into the quagmire of war on the Chinese soil, but the Japanese navy has moved south quickly, and the British Far East Fleet has sent countless urgent telegrams; the Indian Ocean and the South The Atlantic Ocean is even more difficult for the British lifeline to give up-there are not as many troops as can be imagined, and the power that the British Navy can use to fight the German invasion is almost lost.
The rage sank, and even a telegram of condolence did not have time to send out; the sinking of the determination was also extremely fast and without delay. The King George V finally escaped the German Navy's pursuit and fled back to his port under the cover of the land-based fighter jets.
However, this warship was unable to fight in the short term, because its a turret was hit by a bomb and damaged into a pile of scrap iron; near Cambridge was also bombed beyond recognition, but fortunately there was nothing wrong with the thick armor; the hull was damaged by a A torpedo hit and the water intrusion caused the entire hull to tilt 15 degrees. The damage management department's assessment report confirmed that the battleship had to be repaired for at least six months before returning to the battle sequence.
