Chapter 640 Ambush Bismarck
Two days later, a heavy cruiser of the British Navy appeared on the starboard side of the German fleet that was ambushed in the Danish Strait. According to the book demon, it was the new commander of the British Home Fleet, the John Tovey Navy*, the heavy cruiser 'Sufke' (also known as 'Suffolk') in the Danish Strait in advance. This heavy cruiser is only 13 kilometers away from the German giant ship!
In fact, there is also a Norfolk heavy cruiser on the starboard of the two giant German ships, but there is thick fog and undetected. Strangely, this thick fog has even concealed the detection of the 'eye of the abyss' and the 'eye of insight'...
Not long after, the heavy cruiser also shrank into the thick fog...
More than an hour later, the British heavy cruiser poked its head out of the thick fog and fired a volley at the German heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen! That "Rumble!" The sound of gunfire shook the glaciers at the shelter of Zhang Fan's alchemy warship, and huge ice slipped from the tip of the iceberg and almost hit the back armor of the alchemy warship! Scared, the 'Eye of Insight' quickly controlled the alchemy warship to avoid this dangerous area. Dive into the deep water, go around to the side rear safety of the German fleet and ambushed down.
The British heavy cruiser did not attack the main ship Bismarck. It was probably estimated that its main gun shell could not penetrate the armor of the opponent's battleship, so it gave up attacking the opponent's main ship. It's just entangled with heavy cruisers of the same level.
At this time, dozens of shells of the battleship Bismarck rotated against its flanks. The position of the British heavy cruiser is too bad, just facing the full firepower of the flank of the German warship. This is the best T position in the naval battle! That is, use all the firepower of the flank of your warship to face the opponent's bow firepower.
In less than two minutes, the Bismarck actually shot five times! What a fast gun! This huge German ship uses light high-speed armor-piercing shells. It's just a pity that the gunners used too much force and fired three volleys across the British warships far away and bombarded a piece of ice in the distant sea. There were two zily fired, and the shells blew up a column of water more than ten meters high not far from the British warship.
The British warship saw that the opponent's firepower was super strong, and the battle position was unfavorable to him. Knowing that it was invincible, it immediately released a large number of smoke screens and hid in the thick fog again.
Just when Zhang Fan thought that the two sides would take a break, suddenly the 'Eye of Insight' came excitedly. Four wooden entris and a semi-mechanical mantis suddenly rushed down from the clouds and shot at the Bismarck!
Aken! This must be the best time for Aken, a clever ghost, to choose! Launched a sudden attack when the German warship had just driven away the British and was most relaxed! It's just that the firepower of this Muyuan is so thin that in the face of the enemy's armored ship, how can it hurt the other party? Unless the flesh and blood bomb of the skeleton wood gull...
However, Aken did not let Muyuan drop a flesh bomb, but let four Muyuan cover the semi-mechanical mantis and attacked and destroyed the search radar at the front end of the Bismarck! This is equivalent to digging out the eyes of this giant ship!
Four wooden irles hit the sky above the Bismarck, and eight dark golden light bombs, even with thunder, swept the deck of the giant ship, only shooting the sailors on those ships with nowhere to hide! These spiritual bullets are all ignoring defense! And while the anti-aircraft gun array on the German giant ship began to follow and shoot these four wooden gulls...
Yaoji flashed while driving a semi-mechanical mantis. Standing on the high-level antenna on the deck, the mantis's two sickle slashed the antenna radars, as if cutting wood on a huge steel tree, a burst of sour "cry!" In the sound, the square iron mesh radar was cut off by the root by the mantis and hit the deck of the giant ship!
The German mobilized the anti-aircraft cannon and fired fiercely at the semi-mechanical mantis. But because this strange flying monster is too close to the superstructure of the deck, the gunners are afraid of hurting the parts of the warship, and those bullets fly by wiping the semi-mechanical mantis. Failed to hurt Yaoji and Dark Sakura.
"The task is completed, everyone flashes!" Aken's voice sounded in the hearts of the team members.
It turns out that they have received the scene task! Zhang Fan was excited and immediately shouted, "Well done!" Then the 'Eye of Insight' was ordered to control the alchemy warship to float, aimed at the Bismarck and fired a spiritual torpedo, and the two mortars 'hammer of the abys' also threw round light bombs and hit the deck of the Bismarck!
For a while, the hull of the Bismarck vibrated, but it was only a vibration without much damage. But this gave Aken and the others time to rush into the clouds. After a blow, Zhang Fan immediately dived and hid behind the glacier. Bismarck suffered an inexplicable blow and was about to find the attacker, but was told by Prince Eugen that a British battleship appeared...
The Bismarck had to give up searching for the strange hitters and rushed to the British heavy cruiser, but the Soufk had already fled and ran 15 nautical miles away.
The team communication immediately became lively. After the two sides separated from each other, Yaoji and An Ying chatted even more, making Zhang Fan so stunned that they didn't know who to answer.
The two sides finally managed to control the chaotic scene after shouting silence in the Green Wing. Arkans first informed Zhang Fan of the incident after leaving the team. Later, Green Wing told that when he met Acon in the port of Dover, the two sides joined forces and joined the air force on the other side of the British air raid. That was a good fight! Both sides suffered heavy losses.
Nearly one-third of Germany's bombers were destroyed by British air raids, all of which did not have time to take off on the airport. One fifth of the fighters were also consumed in this air raid! This is a big victory! However, the second-tier bomber group sent by Britain was mobilized by fighters from Germany and the tenaciously intercepted by the fighters who survived the first wave of air strikes, and did not cause much damage to the air raids on ports along the coast of the English Channel. Even so, the German transport ships in the port have suffered heavy losses. I'm afraid it will be difficult to organize a large-scale landing on the British mainland in a short time...
Even so, British bombers lost about 40 aircraft and more than 30 fighters, but destroyed nearly a quarter of Germany's air force! And most of them are bombers that can destroy the British mainland! In this way, Hitler and Göring's air raid plan will be greatly limited. At least, the scene of this 'British air battle' is much easier to experience than the original history. Nazi Germany has to organize decent air strikes, and the number of bombers will become a big problem.
However, this battle has also exposed the strength of the Royal Air Force, and the aircraft losses have exceeded the sum of fighter losses since July 10. More importantly, this is not a local operation, which may make it difficult for those pilots who have been shot down to survive. In domestic warfare, the shot down pilots can be saved.
This is also a big reason why the 'British Air War' can persist until the final victory. Historically, Britain lost more than 400 excellent pilots in the 'British Air War', while Germany lost thousands of pilots!
"But it's not an air battle that shoots down the enemy plane, it can't be counted. Otherwise, our aircraft is not only a real trump card, but also a super trump card!" Aken said proudly. Moreover, the ringers of the other camp also participated in the attack. The double-wing aircraft was almost shot down. Speaking of which, we saved them once..."
The fierce battle in the air made him think about it now, and he is still a little afraid. Those German fighters who survived the British bombing, like crazy, made a death impact on British fighters! It's better to die with a British fighter than one to escape! Especially those German fighters who rushed from the mainland attacked the British bomber formation at all costs with Hitler's anger!
Even if they are running out of fuel, they will never flinch! After the oil is exhausted, it will hit directly! It is also because of the desperate attack of these German fighter pilots that the second batch of bomber formations cannot continue to expand the results of air strikes! Otherwise, this 'British Air Battle' will end early because all the German bombers were blown up!
Even so, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Germans to organize a decent air raid in a short time! This counterattack made the British government and the opposition rejoice! However, their battle heroes received a new task and ran to the cold and lonely North Atlantic to intercept the German battleship Bismarck.
After the British Royal Navy aviation and British agents found information about the battleship Bismarck going to sea, they immediately organized the interception of Germany's largest warship. The record of the Royal Air Force made the Royal Navy breathe. If there is no success, the Admiralty will not be able to raise its head in front of the Air Force Department in the future, and the budget will be much less.
Aacon, a meritorious foreign flight team, was temporarily seconded to the naval aviation force of the British Home Fleet, under the aircraft carrier Victory, to participate in the hunt for the Bismarck. That's why this scene mission of tracking and cracking down the battleship Bismarck search radar.
Of course, Aken also tried his best to make this secondment, otherwise the Royal Air Force in Port Dover would never let them go. Because Akan knew that once Zhang Fan got the prompt from the scene, he was bound to keep up with the Bismarck. And according to Zhang Fan's fortune, his alchemy warship can easily go on the same route as the Bismarck.
As long as you find the ' Bismarck', you can join Zhang Fan. Sure enough, as soon as I completed the scene task, I received a message from the boss. If this guy kills this big guy halfway, it will take some time for everyone to meet.
