"The ships are ready for air defense operations. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info "When the figure of the British bomber group in the distance gradually became clear, Lieutenant General Scheer gave the order. The prince on the side watched the British plane gradually fly above his head relatively calmly, and this calmness even infected Scheer a little. The latter even asked with some surprise: "Your Highness, didn't you always think that aviation power would become the decisive force that dominated the sea?" Our interception has failed, why aren't you nervous? ”

"First of all, is tension useful? We've done the best we can, and all that's left is to see how God feels today. Of course, this is not the most important thing. The prince took a deep breath, and then said meaningfully: "Rest assured, the level of naval bombardment by the British is even worse than the interception we have just seen." ”

"The main fleet dispersed, and the light cruisers and destroyers followed their respective capital ships according to the pre-set actions, and withdrew in small groups in the predetermined direction!" Soon, through radio waves and flags, another order was passed on, just as the British fleet had done a few hours earlier, and the German fleet was all scattered! Two or even one capital ship with a small group of several destroyers quickly dispersed, and the huge fleet was scattered over the rough North Sea, looking from a distance like a grain of sesame on a baked cake.

This is also the plan set by the prince before he leaves. If the seaplanes can effectively intercept the possible British bomber group, then the fleet continues to withdraw in the way of a large fleet, and if the interception is bad, then the trees will fall apart and everyone will run their own way!

The reason is simple, in this day and age you don't have to expect how well the anti-aircraft fire between battleships stacks on each other. THINK ABOUT IT, HOW FAR CAN THE EFFECTIVE RANGE OF A BUNCH OF ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUNS WITH THE LARGEST CALIBER OF ONLY 88MM BE? Not to mention that it is interesting enough to fit 2 2-pounder guns on a destroyer, there are very few anti-aircraft guns on the capital ship, take the prince's flagship Bavaria as an example. THERE ARE ONLY 12 88MM ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUNS WITH IMPROVED ELEVATION ANGLES (JUST A GUN MOUNT, THE PREVIOUS NAME WAS 88MM ANTI-LIGHTNING GUNS). 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, in the absence of the threat of the British fleet, the Grand Fleet could be disbanded, and then quickly evacuated from the battlefield in detachments or even smaller, and the dissolution of the capital ship in formation would be more conducive to the evasion of the battleships.

So, so far, before all the large warships were improved in air defense, before the German aircraft carriers were put into service, the German fleet could only rely on its own evasion ...... subjectively in the face of large-scale aviation bombardment. Of course, from the objective aspect, you can also rely on the opponent's poor hit rate. The prince was quite confident in the British's hit rate - certainly not high!

"The German fleet scattered, and they fled like wildebeest attacked by a pack of lions, and we rushed forward like hunters in our hands, and prepared to harvest their lives!" Seeing this, said a Royal Navy pilot.

More than thirty bombers roared in the direction of Hipper's Third Rapid Battleship Detachment, and the twin-engine bombers crackled like dumplings dropping bombs ranging in weight from 500 to 150 pounds. In less than 10 minutes, at least three-digit bombs rained down, blasting high and low columns of water around the entire fleet.

"Left full rudder!"

"Right full rudder!"

"Heading to 5 o'clock, maximum speed!" Hipper commanded the occupancy evasion on the flagship, and in the face of these bombs whizzing down, Hipper was quite scared at first, but then he suddenly found that the nearest bomb that fell on him was 300 meters away, ....... He then tried to order the fleet to sail in a straight line for a short distance, and found that the enemy's bombs still did not fall within 200 meters of his .......

These planes dropped at least ten tons of bombs, directly blowing up the sea around the flagship Weimar as if it were boiling, and at its densest, four water curtains rose from the flagship's side chords at the same time. Hipper couldn't even see the two escort destroyers 800 meters away from him. From the sky, huge waves of water from the explosions spread out in all directions. The German ships that were attacked were like small boats struggling in the wind and waves, but after a random bombing, nothing ...... at all.

"No wonder His Royal Highness the Prince likes to use torpedo attacks, the bombs are really not very reliable, and the bombing technology of the British is not at the same level as what they encountered on the exercise ground before." Hipper wiped a cold sweat and muttered to himself.

When the first round of bombardment by the British bombers was over, Hipper felt that the other party's attack was completely casual, without any tactics or technology. "The so-called bombing by the British was like a bunch of monkeys throwing nuts down a tree. It's even inferior to the latter. At least so far I don't feel the slightest threat, and I believe that if our fleet can sail in a straight line at top speed, then we may be the first detachment to go home. "Looking at the British bombers in the distance, Hipper set a flag for himself!

"I've never seen a bombing like this! They're going to the market, not to fight! Swarming like a flock of hens. At this time, on a specially modified V1500 bomber, Lieutenant Colonel Henry frowned as he looked at the results of the bombing of the Hipper's fleet just now. This old fritter from the orthodox bomber unit was very dissatisfied with the performance of his colleagues, thinking that "they lack the most basic qualities of the bomber unit!" "But it can't be helped, more than half of the bombers just now are ...... who are engaged in reconnaissance.

The second group of bombers was much more specialized, and before it was assigned to the Navy, it was the most successful Thunder bomber squadron in 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 as soon as they entered, Hipper's fleet soon felt the pressure!

A neat formation, moderate speed, and a good angle of cut. Hipper's trance made him feel that he was facing a professional sea attack force that the prince had trained at the beginning. This made Hipper's heart more vigilant! "All anti-aircraft artillery fire into the air, destroyers provide cover!" With the order given, 1 light cruiser escorting the flagship with 4 destroyers began to approach.
