On the bridge of the battleship of the British Royal Navy, Admiral Connerson of the Royal Navy put down the telescope in his hand. Since receiving a modification in the United States and installing a radar, the battleship of the villain has become In the British navy sequence, the battleship is the most powerful.
As the more advanced and powerful British battleship sank in several naval battles, the Royal Navy had to face an embarrassing fact: the naval power that had dominated the world for 100 years, now had to rely on a foreigner The battleships built are here to support the facade.
But the battleship USS Scoundrel is indeed a very powerful battleship. First of all, adhering to the glorious tradition of the German navy, this battleship was designed with great emphasis on armor protection. The battleship is covered with heavy armor throughout its body, and its survivability is much better than other British battleships.
On the other hand, this German-built battleship is equipped with eight very large 380 mm caliber main guns, and its fire rate is much faster than that of a 406 caliber gun, and the artillery turret is more dispersed and survivable. The higher these main guns are full of power, and after several tests by the British Navy, they are very satisfied with the German design.
Of course, the British navy regarded the German battleship as the number one enemy, as the villain ’s sister ship, the battleship Marshal Redell of the German Navy, was launched into service. It is precisely because they understand the combat effectiveness of the Scoundrel that this judgment is made: the battleship force of the German Navy, although rare in number, is of amazing quality.
As a battleship that served in 1935, the battleship USS Scoundrel is very short, so its speed is very fast. Unlike the British Royal Navy's battleships, which are generally more than 10 years old, this battleship, which has only been in service for two years, uses many new design ideas, and the boiler also uses some new technologies to improve the overall power performance.
Similarly, the battleship Nelson is a relatively new battleship in the battle sequence of the British Royal Navy. It and its sister ships joined the naval service only around 1927, and the ship's age did not exceed 10 years.
Moreover, the Nelson-class battleship adopts an unconventional artillery layout design, which arranges all the main guns on the battleship's bow, forming a unique mountain-shaped layout, which was nicknamed the world's largest shallow water gunship .
However, this battleship is still a very powerful sea monster, with a total of 9 406 mm caliber guns. This firepower has been regarded as the largest naval gun caliber in the European navy sequence.
Under the protection of several cruisers and destroyers, the two battleships appeared one after the other near the battlefield until they entered the field of vision of air defense patrol fighters taking off in Germany before they were discovered by the German Navy. Such a fleet happened to be in the direction of the German navy's retreat, and the battle alarm had been sounded.
"The German fleet enters the gun range about 30 minutes later! Our ship is ready for battle! Please cooperate with us to continue to squeeze the mobile space of the German navy." No need to keep the radio silent, the warship of the British Navy Fleet Battleship On the bridge, Captain Connerson put down the telescope in his hand, looked at the front of his fleet, and issued a combat command to prepare for battle.
Because of the more powerful communication system, the battleship USS as the flagship of the Icelandic squadron, is now very close to the German navy that is attacking the British main fleet with all its strength. Even the radars of some German naval warships saw these British warships approaching quickly.
"Report! The reconnaissance plane in the air found the British naval squadron approaching quickly! Because the reconnaissance plane of the fleet missed the time when the enemy fleet entered the patrol, it was discovered relatively late." A German officer entered He went to the bridge command room of the USS Empire and reported the news he had just received.
This news was soon confirmed, because the radar on an air defense cruiser performing patrols at the forefront detected that the British naval fleet had indeed approached a very terrible position. The message sent by this light cruiser is very simple and clear: the enemy ship appears on the route of the fleet, please prepare for battle quickly!
"My God!" Marshal Redell, who received the report, looked at General Lütjens, and then said anxiously: "At this distance, the artillery battle is inevitable to let the battleship move ahead of time. The two battleships of the difficult British squadron. "
"It can only be so!" Although Lütjens knew that the British were waiting for these two battleships, he did not expect that the British would come so fast this time. After he calmed down, he immediately issued a counterattack order: "Prepare to take off the plane, attack the blocking British squadron. In addition, let Marshal Redell and the battleships Ukrainian and Belarus adjust their positions to prepare for the British Battleship! "
"Did we leave some flaws when we gave the British man-made battleship?" After giving the order, Lütjens looked at Redell, who was then the head of the navy, hoping to get this boss There, get some good news.
Who knows that Rydell spread his hands, made a helpless expression, and answered the content of his question, making Lütjens a little desperate: "Unlike the Soviets, the British are the experts in building battleships. What do we dare to do? The hands and feet can be seen at a glance. "
He paused when he finished, adding a few more sentences: "So, the British man-made battleship really did not use any crooked brains. At that time, the head of state's instruction was to learn from the advanced experience of British shipbuilding as much as possible from the inside, and for his shipbuilding industry Accumulate experience in developing good technology. "
"Compared with the battle on land, the British are really hard to deal with at sea." Lütjens knew that he had nothing cheap to take up this time, and he had no choice but to give up the shortcut and continue to fight. Commanded: "The order will continue, and the aircraft carrier fleet will adjust its course to the south to make room for the battleships!"
I heard that during World War II, the US aircraft carrier commanded the genius General Spruance. The limit of commanding aircraft carrier operations is 4 aircraft carriers. The Japanese navy used 6 aircraft carriers to fight at sea most and the Germans came out this time. Seven aircraft carriers formed a huge formation.
Lütjens was certainly not more genius than Spruance. In fact, he simply took the seven aircraft carriers as one and unified command. Although this increased the number of single-strike attack fleets of German carrier aircraft, it left a hidden danger to the entire aircraft carrier fleet. This hidden danger is in reconnaissance and coordination. In fact, the German Navy did not take advantage of the many aircraft carriers, but simply used quantity to make up for the poor performance of tactics.
Now, this hidden danger is magnified by the British Navy. While the German carrier aircraft were busy dealing with the British main fleet, the British squadron cut in directly from behind, disrupting the operational deployment of the German high seas fleet.
Of course, the German navy is not what it is now. At least at this time, this maritime force can be regarded as a powerful maritime force ready to take over the power of the Atlantic. It is no longer as scared of battleships as it was when it was first established, and it is no longer as vulnerable as the British thought.
The boilers of the battleship Marshal Redell began to run rapidly, the entire battleship suddenly accelerated, the sharp bow cut the waves, and the huge hull under the protection of the destroyer changed the direction of travel little by little.
At the same time, on the mast of this battleship, a battle flag representing the determination to fight was raised a little bit, and the 380 mm caliber cannon of the bow began to slowly adjust its angle. The long-lost battle alarm of the main gun swayed in various cabins inside the ship's hull, and all the personnel quickly ran to their combat positions.
With the successive passwords, the battleship Red Marshal Navy began to turn. It was the Soviet-class battleship Ukrainian that the Germans had just received. This huge battleship was also slowly rotating its main gun, turning the black hole. 'S huge muzzle aimed at the enemy who was approaching quickly in the distance.
"Let the British know it! Our German navy battleship squadron is amazing!" The German Admiral Bastian, standing in front of the porthole, placed a battle order on the bridge of the battleship Red Marshal Naval. In the navy he was also considered to be an "old weight-bearing" general. At 56, he was 8 years older than navy marshal Dunnitz.
The German Admiral was instructed to command the battleship squadron as the last barrier of the aircraft carrier fleet and was responsible for the absolute security of the core of the fleet. Now he is instructed to go out and start the entire war against two British battleships. The largest battleship battle on the Atlantic battlefield.
"Gentlemen! Long live Akado? Rudolph! Ready to fire!" As the distance between the two sides became closer, the huge shells were pushed into the bomb bay by the soldiers. The large-caliber artillery was loaded one by one, and then As the gear on the elevator turns, it starts to raise its own barrel. This may be the most majestic picture of war in human history, and nothing else can reflect the strength of the navy.
"For His Majesty the King! Prepare to shoot!" Almost at the same time, on the bridge of the British Navy's battleship Scoundrel, Connerson was also giving orders to fire, he was more nervous than the enemy on the opposite side, because maybe Minutes later, it is possible for the German aircraft to reach the battlefield and start attacking his fleet.
