Chapter 1462 Action 2

They know whether today’s battle is hard or not, but it must be very hard! Because their chief told them that today, we don’t plan to go back with shells! Then a group of gunners, especially the ammunition hand, silently glanced at the other party's brass propellant bag behind him, and then took an extra hamburger from the cook. Well, it's a snack tonight.

"The lane ahead has been cleaned up, please follow the pilot boat!" When a small boat not far away gave a signal, Earl Spey decisively ordered the fleet to set sail, and the high-temperature and high-pressure steam temporarily stored in the steam pipe was injected into the engine room. In the middle, under the action of steam, a steam turbine made a deafening roar. The huge propellers began to rotate. When Sultan Suleiman I raised the departure flag, the entire fleet began to move along the narrow Dardanelles. As the Mediterranean sailed away, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on this armed fleet, and the **** of war enthusiastically placed the two major groups of the Allies and the Allies on the balance again. He excitedly waited for a new one. The feast of war.

"Your Excellency Commander, we have already sailed out of the Dardanelles and entered the Eastern Mediterranean." An officer said to the vast sea in the distance.

"Very well, use light signals to issue orders to all other warships. From now on, except for the flagships that cannot fulfill their missions, all warships cannot use long-distance communications. The entire fleet enters a radio silent state. That's it, we are only responsible for receiving signals. Don't release the signal!" Count Spey said.

In addition to the navigation of the entire fleet using charts, personal experience of navigators, celestial navigation (seeing the stars), and the dotted islands in the Aegean Sea, several radio towers in Turkey can also be used for navigation. Distance and direction finding, and then eradicate the most basic mathematical principles, the fleet can determine its own position, and in this process, the fleet does not need to carry out redundant long-distance communication. Unless you run into some unsolvable troubles.

And shortly after the fleet set sail, several Zeppelin airships painted in dark paint also flew to the battlefield. These air mammoths, which are more than 100 meters long, are cruising at an altitude of 5000 meters. These airships are not like they are in Germany. Colleagues usually carry bombs to bomb. In fact, this kind of bombing is more of a deterrent. These big guys whose stay in the air can even be counted in days are best used as an auxiliary. For example, this one is called the night patrol. Of the naval airship team.

A foldable super-large antenna is hung under the pod of each airship, and its function is to collect all electrical signals from the air and roughly locate it. They will operate as a passive detection system for the entire Spey fleet. Relying on the long standby time of the airship, all airships can be busy until this time tomorrow.

"Good luck to you, I hope we can find something tonight!" The wolf airship sent a blessing signal to colleagues through the signal light.

"The best situation is that nothing happens. Tonight is Christmas Eve!" The prophet airship replied playfully.

And the Nongfu airship on the side has already left, indicating that these two guys are too funny, hurry up and take office! The three airships gradually dispersed. Although the speed of these airships was very slow compared to the aircraft, they were still much faster than the battleships on the sea. After all, the speed of 50 knots was beyond the reach of battleships. And they don't need to be too close to the battlefield.

The navy and air force of the Allies once again drew their swords in the night. And what are the Allies up to now? The transport ship that has been sailing from Alexandria is heading towards Chios under the cover of the French fleet. The task of this fleet is to transport 8,000 Anzac officers and soldiers, 3,000 horses and hundreds of various vehicles and artillery. . They were urgently transferred by the British from the Sinai Peninsula. And escorting them is France's most elite fleet.

Under the command of Lieutenant Admiral Lebris, the four ultra-dreadnought battleships of the French Navy: Brestagni, Provence, Lorraine and the newly commissioned Lyon were dispatched with an armored cruiser detachment. And 2 destroyer squadrons sailed for Chios island.

It stands to reason that in a safe night, there is no need to **** troops with high-speed transport ships. Although submarines may still be encountered at night, for high-speed armed transport ships, submarines want to intercept and secrecy in the dark. A better fleet will be very difficult, so it will not be necessary to dispatch the main fleet, but the fact is that the French are ready to launch this landing campaign. As long-range support firepower and the most important escort, these four battleships are all Must be on stage. And after landing, some artillery and personnel in this fleet will also participate in army operations. So, this time, the French fleet came directly, and then finished everything before returning to Crete.

"What's the situation now?" Lieutenant Admiral Lebris asked on the flagship Brestagne.

"Tonight was very calm, and even the sharks hidden in the deep sea were silent. Tonight, in the entire Aegean Sea ~lightnovelpub.net~ we hardly received any electronic signals from non-Allied countries. The submarines are all hidden. Is it because today is Sunday? God wants us to rest." A French officer said half-seriously and half-jokingly, but his face has been revealed, this buddy is very relaxed now!

"Really, I hope so. I hope that when we take the landing action, the Germans will still sleep in the harbor." Lieutenant General Lebris nodded, not delving into this issue. In his opinion, as long as it is determined which submarine has nothing to change. Because in this sea area, there are at most two Allied Super Dreadnought battleships that can fight, and the others are either sunk or repaired in the dock. In the opinion of Lieutenant General Lebris, even if the German fleet finally chooses to attack, four ships The Bristani class super fearless and the quasi fearless lineup of more than 10 ships will never lose.

"To deal with you, we have installed the latest armor-piercing bullets, Earl Spey, come out if you have the ability, just like the last time you attacked us!" General Lebris put a handful of shredded tobacco into the pipe. Taking a deep breath, feeling the stimulating smell of burning tobacco reverberating in the nasal cavity, the lieutenant admiral recalled what happened in Crete that night!
