The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 2124: Hooked

   And if you consider that the opposing aircraft carrier squadron can run wildly at 30 knots, and the time for the attacking fleet to arrive may take 2 to 3 hours, then this problem is even more complicated. If the opposing fleet evades, what do you do? Therefore, this is a question that tests the skills of investigators and guidance personnel, and this thing is not easy to contact. Relatively speaking, it is much easier for fighter units and bomber units to practice air combat and sea attacks!

"The attack task will be borne by the Schwanberg Air Force and the Imperial Air Force. We have decided to use 40 K8 bombers and 80 K6 bombers. The entire attack will be divided into 3 waves. The K8 bomber group will start taking off at 4 o'clock in the morning. , And then enter the scheduled sea area for standby, and the K6 bomber has limited time in the air, so we decided to take off from 5:30, and then go to the other two scheduled sea areas. We can guarantee that if the British fleet does not start to return at 3 in the morning If they do, they will definitely fall into a certain sea area where our three fleets are cruising." Admiral Halder explained to the prince through a sand table demonstration while talking.

"Well, you can arrange the rest by yourself. We will do everything we can do. The rest is waiting for the results of the battlefield. In addition, all the prepared aircraft of the K fleet are sent out. I think the earl needs their help. "Ruprecht said.

   "The British did not take the bait, maybe they have already left?" On the flagship of Earl Spey, Kaiser Frederick the Great, the captain said to Earl Spey.

"Leaving? It's possible, but the more likely it is that the bait is not rich enough! The one who planned this ambush was a veteran, either Thomas or Betty. I prefer the former. Thomas is a cunning hunter, if not because of some technical problems. Su Xiong might be buried in the Indian Ocean. As for Betty? I feel that he is more like a savage bull. It should be okay to fight and kill. It should be no problem to boost morale, but he can't do fine work!" Earl Pey is very relaxed now, and even in the mood to comment on the senior officers of the Royal Navy.

   "Then since the British feel that this bait is not rich enough, let's add more. Find a fleet that can be used and sink them!" The count ordered! The earl decided to use himself as a bait to hold his opponent! Expose your position and let the British know the position of the battleship. Even if Thomas is cautious, he will not give up this opportunity, right?

   As for whether you can run away? This, half depends on the quality of your officers and soldiers, and the other half depends on luck! "If the Air Force can do more, I hope I can blow Thomas to death!" The earl said maliciously. Judging from his knowledge of the British Navy, Evan Thomas is one of the best tactical masters in the British Navy. Earl Spey was ready to sacrifice in his heart. To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the combat effectiveness of the two fleets is now at a critical point, the Earl thinks that his life would be a bit of a loss in exchange for 3 Fearless and 1 Super Fearless! But if you can take Thomas away, you will make a profit!

   This is war, full of cold blood and calculations!

   "Damn it! It's the night owl of the Germans!" The officers and soldiers on a British auxiliary cruiser exposed to the flares yelled at these K8 bombers that were unscrupulous in the night sky! These guys are like dead birds. Whenever they appear on top of the British fleet and drop the flares, it means that there may be a German fleet nearby. After all, the Germans will not waste these precious flares.

   "Why did the Germans go deep into the Strait of Dover? Didn't they just get hit hard? Didn't they run away?" A British officer said, watching the slowly falling flares and the huge shadows in the night sky.

A few minutes later, the sudden beating of the flames in the distant night resolved his doubts. Groups of orange flames rose from the sea level. Accompanied by a loud noise like thunder, this poor auxiliary cruiser was instantly stunned. Surrounded by water column!

"Damn it, it's a large-caliber naval gun! The Germans didn't leave! I understand to send a report to the headquarters!" The captain of the auxiliary cruiser shouted loudly. A short telegram was quickly sent out. Then, the civilian ship was changed. 'S auxiliary cruiser was destroyed in two fearless salvos from the German front in 12 minutes!

   "Your Excellency, the auxiliary cruiser Sturgeon was destroyed. We have determined the time and place of the exchange of fire." At this time, in the super fearless command tower of the Bold, an officer said to Thomas.

   "Very well, the Germans destroyed an auxiliary cruiser with a displacement of less than 5,000 tons in a quarter of an hour. Do you know what this means?" Thomas said, touching his chin.

   "I don't know." The officer on the opposite side was a little puzzled.

   "This shows that what we encountered was only part of the German fleet, and they dispersed the forces. This is a decoy." Thomas said firmly. "They used a way of exposing themselves to cover the breakthrough of another group of warships~lightnovelpub.net~ So, we can't let the other party go as they please, um, just like that, send a report to the Giant and Hercules, let them bring 2 A light cruiser and two destroyer squadrons went to the troubled sea area! Get me out of these two decoys!"

   If Earl Spey were present at this time, I would definitely give Thomas a thumbs up! Because, in this crisis-ridden night, Thomas almost made the most correct and boldest choice! Separate forces while ensuring the blockade! Night combat is the battlefield most easily controlled by accidents. At this time, the decision to make a flying soldier is bold. As for the decision, is it correct? It must be correct! This is Thomas' judgment based on the comparison of strength between the two sides! Thomas was not afraid of the Germans deliberately hiding their forces to hit him by surprise!

Although the German battleship sank one ship, the other two ships are definitely not in good condition. According to the observation of fire control personnel, there were several violent explosions after hitting the turret. Detonation will produce a violent explosion and there is a difference between normal hits. The remaining two battleships have only 12 12-inch guns at full health. How many cannons can be used now? Two battleships cannot beat one giant dreadnought. As for the other two armored cruisers? Thomas thinks that their use of high-explosive shells will be so much more threatening than armor-piercing shells! Enough to hand over to the Hercules! Therefore, two dreadnoughts are enough to suppress the entire German fleet. There is no need to send other battleships.
