Chapter 1184 Hunting for giants (2)

"The ships are preparing for air defense operations." When the British bomber group in the distance gradually became clear, Lieutenant General Scheer issued an order. The prince on the side watched the British plane gradually fly over his head. This calmness even infected Scheer. The latter even asked a little unexpectedly: "His Royal Highness, don't you always think that aviation power will become the decisive power to dominate the sea? Our interception has failed. Why are you not nervous?"

"First of all, is tension useful? We have done our best. The rest is to see how God feels today. Of course, this is not the most important thing." The prince took a deep breath, and said meaningfully: "Don't worry, The level of British bombing of the sea is worse than the interception we have just seen."

"The main fleet disperses, and the light cruisers and destroyers follow their respective battleships in accordance with the pre-determined actions, using squads as units to evacuate in the predetermined direction!" Soon, another order was passed on through radio waves and semaphores, as if Just as the British fleet did a few hours ago, the German fleet has all dispersed! Two or even one battleship and several destroyers quickly dispersed. The huge fleet was scattered in the rough North Sea, looking from a distance, like grains of sesame on a sesame seed cake.

This is also the pre-plan set by the prince before departure. If the seaplane can effectively intercept the possible British bomber group, then the fleet will continue to evacuate in the form of a large fleet, and if the interception effect is bad, then the tree will fall, everyone will go their own way!

The reason is very simple. In this era, you don't need to expect how good the anti-aircraft firepower between battleships can be. Think about it, how far can a bunch of antiaircraft guns with the largest caliber but 88mm have an effective range? Not to mention that two 2-pounder guns can be mounted on a destroyer. The battleship has very few anti-aircraft guns. Take the Prince’s flagship Bavaria as an example. There are only 12 88MM anti-lightning guns with improved elevation angles. With this firepower density, do you still support others? It's not enough to protect yourself!

Therefore, the prince ordered that when faced with a large number of British bombers, without the threat of the British fleet, the large fleet can be disbanded, and then quickly withdraw from the battlefield in a detachment or even smaller size, and after the battleship disbands the formation, more Conducive to the evasion of warships.

Therefore, so far, before all the large warships undergo air defense improvements, and before the German aircraft carrier enters service, the German fleet can only rely on its own evasion subjectively in the face of large-scale aerial bombing... Of course, from the objective aspect, you can also rely on the opponent's poor hit rate. The prince is quite confident about the British hit rate-certainly not high!

"The German fleet dispersed. They fled like wildebeests attacked by lions, and we rushed up like hunters in hand, and then prepared to harvest their lives!" Seeing this, a British royal Said the navy pilot.

More than thirty bombers roared towards the direction of Hipper’s third fast battleship squadron. These twin-engine bombers crackled like dumplings and dropped bombs of various weights ranging from 500 to 150 pounds. . In less than 10 minutes, at least three-digit bombs poured down, blowing up high and low water jets around the entire fleet.

"Left Man Ruo!"

"Right full rudder!"

"Heading towards 5 o'clock, the highest speed!" Hipper commanded Occupy's evasion on the flagship. Faced with these bombs that roared down, Hipper was very scared at first, but then he suddenly found out and fell. The nearest bomb is 300 meters away... Then he tried to order the fleet to sail a short distance in a straight line, and found that the opponent's bomb still did not fall within 200 meters of his own area...

These planes dropped at least ten tons of bombs, directly blowing up the sea around the flagship Weimar as if boiling. At the densest time, four water curtains were raised simultaneously from the flagship side chord. Hipper could not even see the two **** destroyers 800 meters away from him. Looking from the air, the huge water waves produced after the explosions spread out all around. The German ship being attacked was like a boat struggling in the wind and waves, but after a random bombing, nothing happened....

"No wonder the prince likes to use torpedo attacks. Bombs are really not reliable, and the British bombing skills are not at the same level as those encountered in the exercise field before." Hipper wiped a cold sweat. Language.

When the first round of bombing by the British bombers was over, Hipper felt that the opponent's attack was completely random, without a little tactics or a little technology. "The so-called bombing by the British is like a group of monkeys throwing nuts down on a tree. It is not even as good as the latter. At least so far I don’t feel any threat. I believe if our fleet can sail straight at the highest speed. If so, then we may be the first squadron to go home." Looking at the British bombers going away, Hipper set up one for himself!

"I have never seen such a bombing! They are going to the market~lightnovelpub.net~ instead of fighting! They swarm like a flock of hens." At this time, a specially modified V1500 bomber. On, Lieutenant Colonel Henry frowned at the result of the bombing of the Hipper fleet just now. This old youtiao, who was born in the orthodox bomber unit, was very dissatisfied with the performance of his colleagues, thinking that "they lack the most basic qualities of a bomber force!" But there is no way. More than half of the bombers just now were detected by detection. ....

And then, the second team bombing aircraft group will be more professional, before being assigned to the navy, they were the thunder bomber squadron of the Royal Air Force on the Western Front, equipped with 16 O-400 twin-engine bombers. It was the first regular bomber unit to be transferred to the Navy. And when they entered the field, Hipper's fleet soon felt tremendous pressure!

Neat formation, moderate speed, and good angle of entry. Hipper felt in a daze that what he was facing seemed to be the professional sea attack troops trained by the prince. This makes Hipper's heart more vigilant! "All the anti-aircraft artillery fired against the air, and the destroyer provided cover!" With the order issued, a light cruiser escorting the flagship with 4 destroyers approached.
