The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 2131: Liming II

"It's a German plane! Torpedo plane!" It was too late when the British discovered the German bomber! At this time, four German K6 bombers have entered the final attack route, and the aircraft at the head of the team is less than 1,200 meters away from the Giant! Ten seconds later, when the distance between the two sides was close to 800 meters, the two K6 bombers dropped torpedoes almost at the same time!

The torpedo enters the water, and the depth is quickly determined with the help of the depth fixer. The engine starts, compressed air and fuel enter the combustion chamber, and the huge energy pushes the propeller to make the torpedo rush towards the target at a speed of more than 40 knots per hour, two white The wake continues to extend on the sea! The bomber crew began to disengage, and began to count down!

   The Giant began to quickly turn to avoid the torpedo that was shot to the side, but it was all too late! The first torpedo almost smashed against the bottom of the ship, while the second torpedo hit the middle of the hull, and unfortunately, there were several cracks just blocked at the waterline nearby! As a result, the Giant’s old wounds were not gone, but new ones were added! Along with a column of water soaring to the sky, the side armor belt of the Giant was flew horizontally by the violent explosion of steel plates. Hundreds of kilograms of explosives exploded directly at the junction of the two steel plates, and a huge gap of 7 square meters appeared on the side of the hull. Side!

The entire battleship began to tilt rapidly under the huge flood of water. Thousands of tons of seawater poured into the boiler warehouse, causing almost all the boilers to turn off instantly, and a few dozen seconds later, two more torpedoes roared towards. This dying battleship, after two explosions, this battleship that has been in service for nearly 10 years with hundreds of British naval officers and soldiers overturned to the bottom of the sea! This process is so fast, from hitting the first torpedo to sinking in the battle, but only 3 minutes!

   The Giant is gone, is the Hercules far away? After getting the news, more than 30 bombers from the Condor fleet roared towards the fleet! At this time, the British seemed to know that they couldn't resist. When the Giant was sunk, except for the two British destroyers who were responsible for salvaging the people who fell into the water, the other warships instantly dispersed. Under the cover of thick sea fog, these small destroyers are really hard to find when they drill into the sea!

   So, the Condor fleet encountered the problem of too many monks, too many weapons, and only one target! Therefore, Major Earhart can only let the bombers hit first, and then the torpedo planes, at least let the bombers practice their skills?

A series of 250KG roared down, more than 100KG picric acid explosives bloomed flowers of flame on the deck of the Hercules. The lethality of the high explosive bombs on the non-armored protection zone of the warship is very amazing. According to an officer who worked in the Navy and then transferred to the Air Force, a 250KG high-explosive bomb can be as lethal as 2 to 3 12-inch high-explosive bombs!

   After hitting at least 4 high-explosive bombs, a telegram told Earhart to stop his “wasting bombs”. "Tell the torpedo unit to get rid of this guy quickly. Our reconnaissance plane seems to have found a new target!" So, after leaving 8 torpedo planes to almost attack the dying warship, Major Earhart took a squadron. 'S bomber flew to another target!

The dispersal and evacuation of the British fleet was expected by the Luftwaffe. After all, no British battleship was sunk in the battle last night. However, what happened afterwards gave Admiral Halder at the headquarters a bit. Unexpectedly, because just half an hour ago, he received intelligence, and the three reconnaissance planes said they all reported that they had discovered three Neptune battleships!

"It's a British camouflage warship!" Halder said depressed. To tell the truth, it is really difficult to distinguish the identity of the opponent from the appearance under this kind of visibility, especially the Luftwaffe did not know the Neptune yesterday. It’s even more so in the case of battle damage. When building an antique, you know how to make it old. How difficult is it to pretend to be a battle damage? In history, the famous German sailing assault ship has also been a fire scene! There are even a few German sailors wearing women's clothing calling for help, in order to be more authentic...

   "Then kill them all. It's a pity, up to now, I haven't found the trace of that super fearless ship!" Admiral Halder said regretfully. Fortunately, the British’s large camouflage ship is not easy to handle. After all, if you want to simulate a large battleship, at least the hull and tonnage cannot be too small, and “modifying” the hull superstructure may take a long time and investment, so In this deception operation, the British Navy invested a total of 4 camouflage ships, one of which was disguised as the battleship Bold and the other two were disguised as dreadnoughts. And this time, one of the three Neptunes captured by the Luftwaffe was genuine!

Needless to say, the rest of the situation needless to say. In the case that the British Air Force was unable to provide effective support, all three ships were sunk, and the real Neptune was discovered by the Navy's carrier-based aircraft reconnaissance team, although due to dense fog The problem caused by the investigation is difficult, but after all, professionals are professionals. They have tried multiple investigations under complicated weather conditions in the North Sea and the Baltic Sea~lightnovelpub.net~ Of course, if the situation is too complicated, the aerial strikes are still going to sleep. Right...

"Today's sea fog is a bit heavy, and it will take a long time to disperse. Or, let's try it with a carrier-based aircraft? The aircraft carrier fleet is all out, and it is only 80 kilometers away from us. It is not good to go back empty-handed? "Similarly, the German Navy aircraft carrier squadron that is on standby in the North Sea has received reconnaissance information! Therefore, Major General Rodhart, who commanded the aircraft carrier detachment, sent a telegram to the Crown Prince.

  Ruprecht naturally won't let all his 5 aircraft carriers appear, so I don't need it! Therefore, the commander of the aircraft carrier squadron brought two aircraft carriers, one is the Emperor, and the other is the Wittelsbach. The two aircraft carriers carry a total of 160 various aircraft.

"Also, but you have to reduce the number of witnesses as much as possible! Use the ground-based aviation frequency band to communicate. After sinking your target, nearby German submarines and destroyers must rush over to catch the overboard. You know this. The fewer people, the better!" Ruprecht thought for a while and said.

In fact, the Luftwaffe has the final say in the sky in this area. Once the weather is bright and the sea fog dissipates, British ships will not dare to come out and wander, and after sinking the opposing warship, the German naval destroyer detachment can also rush up. Capture those who fall into the water in order to minimize the possibility of information leakage, and the aircraft carrier squadron will retreat early after completing the strike!
