Smoke billowed into the air, warplanes shuttled through the air, and after nearly an hour of air raids, Scapa Bay had gone from a beautiful autumn afternoon to a hell full of death and flames.

Wolf hovered over Scarpa Bay in a bomber, looking feverishly at his companion robe below; He bit his chapped lip, and there was an unconcealed longing and eagerness in his eyes. Due to the size of Scapa Bay and the objective environment of the terrain, it was impossible for as many as nine squadrons of German bombers to deploy at the same time, so in that surprise attack plan, the order of attack of each squadron was clearly defined, and there was no room for chaos to occur in a rush of troops. As the 19th squadron that took off from the aircraft carrier Richthofen, Wolf's attack order was tragically ranked last. At this time, it was nearly 2 p.m., and his torpedo-mounted plane was still standing by in the air at a distance of more than 2,000 meters.

The guns crackled, and orange-red flames flew through the air; The gray-black clouds exploded high or low, and in the rumbling sound, a large number of fragments were thrown into every inch of a radius of more than ten meters. However, Wolf was not afraid of these anti-aircraft guns fired from the British battleships, he only controlled the plane to make a small turn, like a Ling Bo microstep through these "fireworks".

After dozens of minutes of fighting, Wolf had completely penetrated the paper tiger essence of the opponent's anti-aircraft fire. Britain's medium-caliber anti-aircraft shrapnel has no accuracy against a single aircraft at close range, and each of its explosions is far from its own three-dimensional coordinates, and it is of no use except to listen to it. And the small-caliber anti-aircraft guns with a good rate of fire are so rare that they are also unable to organize an effective barrage of interceptor aircraft. Until now, only 5 of our own planes have been shot down. Compared to the heavy losses suffered by the British fleet, this loss of our own air fleet is obviously insignificant!

"Don't sink all the ships in the harbor, and leave us a few!" Look at the white waves that keep appearing on the sea below. Co-pilot Enke gritted his teeth and whispered. Although he was at an altitude of 2,000 meters and could not see exactly what was going on in the harbor below, he could still clearly see the raging waves that were stirred up when the torpedo hit the target. Enke, whose grandfather had served in the Navy for three generations, had always been haunted by his being assigned to the end of the offensive sequence; The feeling of seeing the enemy in front of him and waiting was really unbearable for him.

However, the military order is like a mountain, and no one dares to disobey it in the slightest; Enke had to check the scope over and over again so that he could aim the torpedo under the belly precisely at the enemy when it was his turn to attack.

"Lads of the 19th Bomber Squadron, immediately strike with me, target. Enemy battleships! ”

After waiting for so long, this command from the headset made both of them feel like they had been beaten with blood. Wolf soon descended with his friendly plane, and with the skills he had already familiarized himself with in training, he rounded the islands and cut low into the No. 5 waterway to the northwest. The air was filled with a choking smell of explosion smoke and burning mist, and the thick smoke that rose almost interfered with Wolf's vision. He forced himself to suppress the restlessness in his heart, and according to the squadron leader's order, he searched for the remaining British battleships in the harbor. In Wolfe's mind, the British battleship should have been taken care of by the wolf-like comrades before, and at this time, at most some of the dying remnants remained. Wait for yourself to deliver the final blow.

However, when Wolf flew into the military port, he found that all five British battleships were floating on the surface of the sea, except for the Counterattack, which was nowhere to be found. Except for the Nelson, which was contemptuously called an "ugly oil tanker" by its own officers and soldiers, it was a bit of a head-turn. The rest of the ships appeared unscathed. At this time, they were desperately sailing out of the harbor, intending to seize on the Germans' negligence and escape.

"73rd Squad, 73rd Squad, follow me to attack the War Weary first!" A deep voice suddenly sounded in the headset. In an instant, Wolf heard that the other party was none other than his immediate superior, Second Lieutenant Neuer. He immediately responded to the radio communication, and during the search he found the bomber with the shark marking. Move closer to it. Soon, Wolf discovered from the cacophony of communication that the attack was jointly launched by his own side and the 75th Squad; Four of your bombers advanced from the left side of the target, while the other four bombers attacked the starboard side of the enemy ship.

Seeing the British battleship thousands of meters away with a superstructure that was vastly different from when it was born, there was a spark of resentment in Enke's eyes in the passenger seat. In the Battle of Jutland 23 years ago, the War Weary not only saved the precarious Betty Cruiser with her sister ships, but also turned in style with its heavy armor and swift speed despite hitting the entire High Seas Fleet head-on, making it the most hated enemy ship of the German Navy. Enke's grandfather was a gunnery officer aboard the battleship Catherine at the time, and regretted the warweary's escape. Time has passed, and the former Extreme Dao Divine Soldiers are no longer sharp; And the German Navy, which has been passed down from generation to generation, finally got the opportunity for revenge after nearly a quarter of a century!

The machinery hissed, the blades swirled, and Wolf maneuvered the fighter plane to go high and low, sweeping vertically and horizontally; However, Enke gritted his teeth and endured the great discomfort caused by inertia, and focused on aiming at the large battleship that was 195 meters long. A glittering large-caliber bullet grazed the tempered bulletproof glass, stirring up dense cracks and debris bursting out; But both of them completely forgot about their own safety, and only the information needed for a lightning strike such as the location, speed, and course of the enemy ship was left in their minds.

Finally, the warweariness was less than 1,200 meters away from the aiming scale, and the towering bridge, which had undergone two major renovations, was clear and clear in the eyes of the two. With Wolf's roar, Enke, who cooperated with him, suddenly pulled the machine in his hand; The 900-kilogram aerial torpedo crashed into the water from a height of 10 meters, and a moment later sped off towards the front.

After dropping the torpedo, the bomber, which had been nearly a ton lighter, suddenly became as light as a swallow, and it rolled in the air for a week, and soon escaped the effective range of enemy naval fire in an arc maneuver. Enke couldn't wait to look intently, only to see that the Warweary had begun to turn with all its might on the sea; Since the path of the oxygen torpedo was not obvious, he could only judge whether the torpedo had hit by the approximate timing. For a moment, Enke found that his heart was beating more violently than it had ever been when he got married a few years ago.

After more than a minute of torment, a violent white wave rose abruptly in front of the port side of the Warweary; Enke was thrilled to witness this scene, and even in the squad channel, he loudly reported this honor to his comrades, as well as the opportunity for the subsequent lightning strike!

"The attack of the first wave of the group is over. We confirmed the sinking of 1 British Radiance-class fleet carrier, 1 Athletic light aircraft carrier, 1 Counterattack Cruiser, 3 Liverpool-class light cruisers, 3 Kent-class heavy cruisers, 6 C~D destroyers, 8 E~G destroyers, and heavy damage to the battleships Nelson and War Wey. We lost 2 fighters and 4 bombers. The first fleet will return at 2.25 p.m. ”

In the northern seas, nearly 400 kilometers from Scapa Bay, Bome and the others were stunned by a battle report from Thomas, the commander of the fleet. Even if they are all naval elites who have been tempered for many years, it still takes a long time to digest this almost shocking news. In just 65 minutes, more than 20 British front-line warships, including 9 large and medium-sized surface ships, completely ceased to exist, and their own side only paid a small price for the loss of 6 aircraft and 10 personnel! Before today, who could have imagined such a fantastic victory in Scarpa, and who would dare to imagine it?

Fang Yan stared at this telegram calmly, but there were not too many waves in his heart; When the telegram of the successful raid came an hour earlier, he had already foreseen his victory. And no matter from which point of view, the sinking of the 140,000-ton British warship is a well-deserved reward for his devotion to the construction of naval aviation.

As a result of his design philosophy, German aircraft carriers all had unusually open flight decks, which greatly increased the number of single-wave aircraft released and made a qualitative leap in their inherent attack power. Because of his precautionary technology accumulation, the German aircraft carrier aircraft has the world's top combat performance, and its speed, range, bomb load, wing folding and other technical indicators are far stronger than the British counterparts who are slow to respond in this field.

Thanks to Fang Yan's precautions, the German air force was able to equip the powerful oxygen torpedoes, which greatly increased their destructive power against ships, and the attack effect was very different from the normal situation. And the most important thing is Fang Yan's long-term layout more than ten years in advance. He not only reawakened the German Navy's blue-water fighting spirit and established the basic concept of naval and air warfare, but also eliminated Goering, the biggest stumbling block, so that the Navy's warhawks could grow ideally with sufficient resources. All of this is perfectly displayed today!

Seeing that Bo Mei and the others were still shocked, Fang Yan coughed lightly, breaking the silence in the cabin: "General, the first wave of aircraft is about to return in 15 minutes, should we let the fleet accelerate to adapt to their landing?" Bomei's body was shocked, and he finally recovered from the huge shock, he took a deep look at the young man in front of him, nodded and said, "Just do as you say." (To be continued.) )
