Biquge EbookFREE.me, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
The bow of the sharp destroyer split two white waves on the surface of the water. A German destroyer was moving slowly on the calm sea. It had not yet entered the cold North Sea because the destroyer had just left its harbor— —William Junction.
The wave that this destroyer cut through the water and separated was not yet calm, and was cut away by the bow of another destroyer in the distance. Behind this destroyer was also followed by a third destroyer. These German ships that started with z were all The 10-year-old ship is equipped with a new sonar system and the most advanced search radar.
Behind these destroyers is a huge battleship. The triple-mounted 280 mm caliber cannon is so clear and outstanding. This is a Lüzov class armored ship. It is the German navy ’s current artillery force in addition to aircraft carriers. The strongest battleship.
Such a huge fleet set sail in German ports, it must be the German high seas fleet, which is Germany's most elite naval fleet, so that the British Royal Navy retreat from the terrible power of Sanshe.
Sure enough, in the inner circle of the fleet, the huge aircraft carrier showed its tall figure. The huge freeboard and the command island on the deck made the barges that were advancing next to them look very small.
A total of 16 destroyers and 8 cruisers with 3 armored ships, protecting 4 large-scale fleet aircraft carriers, slowly drove out of the William Junction, so that the soldiers on the fortified gunboats and torpedo boats around were watching. It is the hope of the German navy and the future of the German navy.
Lütjens stood on the bridge and looked at the huge naval fleet under his command. The sense of pride and superiority in his heart made his mouth rise uncontrollably. He is now the actual commander of the fleet like Dennitz, and with their efforts, the German Navy has achieved impressive results that their predecessors did not.
Since the beginning of the war, they have sunk the British aircraft carriers Eagle and Brave; the battleships Malaya, Barram and Monarch; the heavy cruiser Norfolk and the light cruiser Penelope, and have captured two British ships. The destroyer sank another 29 destroyers and a submarine. Only one destroyer and one submarine and several aircraft were lost.
The four aircraft carriers Empire, Zeppelin, Bismarck, and Tilbitz sailed out of the military port all at once. There are more than a dozen aircraft parked on the deck of each aircraft carrier. In the battle, you can let them play the highest fighting power.
Lütjens looked at the sea in the distance, without a word. Not far behind him, a huge chart table was placed in the combat command room, where there were also Air Force investigation reports stacked on the intelligence analysis station and the latest weather analysis provided by the Meteorological Administration.
"Keep heading!" The first officer stood behind Lütjens and issued a follow-up order loudly. This is still the core area controlled by the Luftwaffe, so the command of the fleet was given to the lieutenant, and Lütjens was also happy. Leisurely, calm down and think about how to complete the mission to be carried out this voyage.
This time the Navy was instructed to complete the combat plan drawn up by the head of state himself, also known as "Power Off Operation." The content of this plan is very complicated, and it is a huge sea, land, and air joint combat plan. The navy and air force mainly cooperated to eliminate the British and French navies participating in the battle of Dunkirk in the English Channel. The air force and the army cooperated to eliminate the troops on the land of the British and French coalition forces, and used this as a bait to reinstate the British navy and air force.
In order to ensure the success of this plan, Arcado ordered the Supreme Command to mobilize almost all the forces it could focus on-including 4 Air Force Group Army with a total of 2100 various types of combat aircraft, the Navy ’s only fleet, the High Seas Fleet, And all of the Army Group b Group Army and half of the Group A Army total a total of 550,000 troops.
The "Power Outage Plan" was fully launched 15 hours ago. The Air Force took off 4,000 sorties of aircraft to carry out air attack missions. The Stuka bomber dropped the bomb on the coalition position as if it was not money, and the bomber dropped it. Hundreds and thousands of tons of bombs blasted Dunkerque, a corner city in northwestern France, into a ruin.
Captain Garland, as the Air Force front-line commander, has commanded the hunt for the fighter force. Over the Dunkirk, all the Allied aircraft that can fly into the sky have been screened. These dozen hours of combat The Air Force gave birth to 12 ace pilots in one breath, and the French Air Force's fighter force that took off bravely experienced a real nine-death life. Only 300 of the 300 fighters were left under the German massacre, and 259 pilots died heroically.
The naval aviation units used for the subsequent two aircraft carriers to serve as carrier aircraft were all transferred to the field airfield near Dunkirk, as the main force for bombing British naval ships. They are required to train in actual combat, how to effectively sink the opposing ship, and lay a good foundation for future operations.
With these special stuka and navy fw-190, the British destroyer unit that took the risk of rushing the troops back to the country suffered a devastating blow. These bomb-precision and first-class carrier-based aircraft units sank three British destroyers and one light cruiser in the waters of Dunkirk, which forced the British plan to withdraw their troops on a large scale.
Now that the Air Force has calmed down the scene, the Navy ’s dispatch this time was completely down, and the task they received was very simple, sinking all British targets encountered, destroying the British beachheads and ports, and preventing the British team Any retreat plan.
Of course, there is another mission to attract the British Navy and Air Force to fight an annihilation battle near Dunkirk to completely wipe out the British Royal Navy ’s main fleet and re-strike the British Air Force ’s local air defense forces.
Lütjens was naturally confident in this mission, because he was not a lone army naval force that penetrated into the English Channel. His route was close to the Dutch waters and was close to a dozen air bases in Belgium-where Germany The Air Force ambushed a total of 300 fighters and bombers, just waiting for the Royal Navy and Air Force to hook.
In order to obtain early warning, Germany even dispatched submarines to transport a group of observers carrying radio stations, lurking near the British coastline to provide early warning for Lütjens. If you count the new radars of the 50 standing fighters and fleets that are patrolling in the sky, this preparation can be said to be seamless, just waiting for the British to throw themselves into the net.
That's why the Navy sent out the most precious high seas fleet and placed it as a bait in the dangerous place of the English Channel. On the one hand, the head of state feels that it is very important to prevent the withdrawal of the British and French coalition forces. On the other hand, it is because this combat operation can be said to be completely unsurprising.
In the eyes of the Germans, these British and French allied forces, already in their pockets, had already become fish on the chopping board, and they were arbitrarily slaughtered. From the tremendous artillery fire near Dunkirk, you can hear how poorly the English and French people in these poor surroundings have lived.
So Lütjens is in a good mood now, because what he is doing now is something that his predecessors did not dare to dream about during World War I. If they can know that the German fleet can appear in the English Channel, entice the British fleet to fight and then annihilate the main force of the British navy, then they will wake up laughing when they dream.
Thinking of this, he even surrendered his command to the deputy commander of the fleet with great interest, and took several guards to the deck to breathe. The deck of an aircraft carrier is not as spacious as a normal battleship. The sea breeze blows on the deck made of steel armor, with cold and bleakness.
The two sailors who were on duty on the deck saw their commander and immediately rallied to salute them. They were carrying Mauser 98k rifles. Because of the priority, most second-tier combat troops can only equip Mauser 98k. A bolt-type rifle, the mp-44 assault rifle and the g43 semi-automatic rifle that are saved are given priority to the army.
Of course, each aircraft carrier is equipped with a 12-member special unit equipped with a sophisticated mp-44 assault rifle, which is used as a special situation handling unit directly under the captain. Of course, this kind of elite is not used in the usual duty, so Lütjens only encounters ordinary guards on duty.
"Long live the heads of state!" The two soldiers said loudly.
"Long live the heads of state!" Lütjens returned a salute, and then continued to walk forward. His navy coat was rolled up by the sea breeze, and his hem seemed to be full of emotion. He took the two guards to the bow of the aircraft carrier. Every time he sailed, he would go there to take a look. This seems to be the habit he has cultivated for many years.
The huge radar antenna on the destroyer not far away began to slowly rotate, because the fleet had completely left Wilhelmshaven, so the security measures began to be launched step by step. Behind Lütjens, two carrier-based reconnaissance fighters were taking off on the deck of the USS Zeppelin. The first aircraft quickly rushed out of the deck, swept the sea at high speed, and roared from above Lütjens ’head However, the second was followed, followed by the third and fourth from the Bismarck.
These aircraft will soon fly in all directions to provide the most long-range real-time reconnaissance intelligence for the entire fleet. With these super long eyes that can be observed 200 kilometers away, the defense depth of the German fleet has been tens of kilometers from the traditional fleet. Raised to a level of at least 130 kilometers, this distance is a long distance that the British Navy's naval guns cannot cross, and it is a death distance that the Royal Navy hates.
"General." An officer ran from behind Lütjens, who ran all the way from the bridge, holding a seemingly important telegram in his hand.
After running to the position, the officer stood up and saluted, and then handed the telegram to Lütjens with respect, "The head of state calls, I wish you success!"
