"Sir, the A1 patrol team has come." A British naval soldier pointed to the shining signal light in the distance and said.

　　 "Very well, let them get closer to us, we have encountered a ruthless character today." Captain Cox, commander of the A2 patrol in the Channel of Dover, nodded and said. The British are not stupid. After being beaten up with a sap, they clearly realize that the identity of the other party is not simple. In this case, no one will directly explore the grass with their face. The best choice is to hold a group. The two destroyer units patrolling on the back first joined forces before patrolling south. As for the delay in doing so, will the time delay cause the opponent to run away?

　　 This question? How should I put it, in fact, as the commanders of these patrol fleets, they wished the Germans would flee thousands of miles after a blow! Because these destroyers on patrol are weak among the weak, and most of their personnel are merchant sailors temporarily recruited. It is obviously unrealistic to expect them to have high fighting spirit.

As a result, there was a gap between the British patrol destroyer squadron to the north and Major General Harris’s fleet in the middle because of the problem of time. In the distance, the German main fleet commanded by Earl Spey was hidden in the night like a patient leopard. In, Earl Spey is waiting, he needs the British main fleet to be exposed first! The core of the night battle is simply to place bait, but let the enemy's main fleet be exposed first, and finally go up to sap yourself, it's that simple, but it really requires experience and talent to use it well!

At this time, the decoys exposed by Earl Spey were the four large destroyers commanded by Major Franco, who served as the defender of the fleet. These large destroyers with firepower close to the light cruisers were completely beyond the reach of ordinary destroyers. They stayed quietly in the UK. On the only way for the fleet, waiting for the British to come here!

　　 "There seems to be something in the southeast direction!" At this time, the watchman on the British destroyer Hound, who was on the reconnaissance mission, found a slender figure on the sea in the distance. The opponent's speed is not high, and is sailing north. So the Hound was ready to make an inquiry.

After a series of light signals were sent out, the opposite side seemed to have no response. After hesitating for a while, the Hound decided to get closer. When the two sides approached about 1,000 meters and could already use the searchlight to scan the opponent, the other side still did not respond. At this time, An unpleasant feeling arose in the hearts of British sailors on the Hound!

　　 At this moment, behind this suspicious battleship, groups of bright yellow fireballs accompanied by thunderous loud noises flew towards the Hound with an aura of destruction! After 2 seconds, a column of water instantly surrounded the British destroyer. The calm on the sea was broken once again, and the second round of the two sides began!

"Fire the flare immediately! We are under attack!" The captain of the Hound ordered the warship to counterattack. However, the opponent's firepower was too fierce. At a distance of only 1200 meters, at least 10 artillery was moving towards this ship with a displacement of less than 800. The multi-ton British destroyer opened fire! In the first time, the 4-inch artillery at the stern of the Hound was destroyed, resulting in no defensive firepower in the rear hemisphere. In the dense rain of bullets, the poor destroyer dodged the attack frantically, but did not find that a smaller figure quickly He approached himself from the other side, and shot 2 torpedoes at a distance of less than 300 meters!

　　 Boom! With a huge flame rising into the sky, like a scoop of cold water in hot oil, the entire battlefield was instantly detonated!

"Command, all the destroyers, hug the group immediately, we caught the opponent!" Major General Harris thought he had caught the British fleet, from the outbreak of the battle to the destruction of the Hound Hound, but in just 3 minutes, this was definitely a success. The large-scale fleet did it, so they decisively decided to close the encirclement net and carry out encirclement and suppression. Of course, everything must be left behind. He only ordered Brigadier General Sinclair to rush up with a light cruiser unit and destroyer, and another The light cruiser squadron and his armored cruisers are still hidden in the night!

At this time, the German K fleet in the air also moved quickly towards the direction of the battlefield. They first found the British destroyer that was lighting up in front, and then stared at the opponent, using the lifting searchlight on the belly to cover the opponent tightly. At the same time, the German plane did not forget to drop a series of flares next to it to expose the British destroyer who was about to shoot the black gun.

(As to whether this tactic is feasible, the answer is naturally feasible. In the Battle of Guadalcanal in the First World War, there were examples of seaplanes helping to throw flares to illuminate. Destroyers used lights, and other warships also had tactics, but it seems that the Japanese brain The hole is strange. The Japanese is the battleship lighting up the lights, and the other ships are in the shade... This is incomprehensible. As for whether the aircraft uses searchlights to find out whether the destroyer is reliable, it must be reliable. The anti-submarine aircraft is to determine the approximate location of the German submarine through radar and radio positioning, and then approach it, use searchlights to finally determine the specific location before attacking ~lightnovelpub.net~ Submarines that are as small as floating can be found by searchlights. Not to mention destroyers that are more than 80 meters to 100 meters away.)

"Damn! Where's our plane? Why don't you get rid of the annoying big birds like the Germans?!" A British legion cursed loudly as a British destroyer that had been hidden in the night was shrouded in flares falling from the sky. . The so-called black guns naturally cannot be too far away. Even if the destroyer found that the distance and the British gunner team had incorporated too many newcomers, it would be good to be able to ensure a certain accuracy within 1000 meters. Therefore, after the British destroyers merged, they all It was sailing in a group, this series of flares came down, and naturally all the British destroyers nearby were also illuminated.

　　 So, in the bright light, the destroyer sailing at high speed on the sea is as conspicuous as a lice on a bald head. The sound of machine guns from time to time made the British sailors on the deck shiver, even though they knew that the Germans' machine guns were basically inaccurate in this situation.

As for why there are no British planes in the air, the reason is simple. The British aviation force has been declining both in terms of scale and personnel level. There are not many that can fly night flights, and even those that can find enemy aircraft in night flights. Few feathers are rare, and if you find an enemy plane, you can knock down a K8-level bomber. No way, this era of fighter jets and 4-round bombers heads-up, it is too difficult! In addition, the British did not expect the Germans to do this, so the existence of the K fleet gave the German navy an unequal advantage!
