In the clear blue sky, a German carrier-based bomber with inverted gull wings was flying forward at a steady speed. Its altitude is stabilized at 4 km in order to save fuel and ensure the search for surface targets. Behind the transparent tempered glass, the young telegraph operator meticulously looked at the sea around him, and although he always saw the boundless deep blue, he did not show any impatience or boredom.

"Man, two-thirds of the plane's fuel has been used, and in fifteen minutes, we'll be back."

The pilot in the front driver's seat turned his head and reflected a sunny and handsome face in the eyes of his comrades; Coupled with the crisp and heroic naval aviation uniform, it is definitely the focus of attention on the banquet dance floor. Seeing the serious look of the telegraph operator in the rear, who was still engrossed, the pilot couldn't help but say, "I said Nick, you should also take a little rest." It's been 4 hours since we took off, haven't you been tired of the blue sea? ”

The telegraph operator known as Nick still didn't take his eyes off the sea below, but said slowly, "Mons, have you forgotten? I am the child of a coal miner in Saarland. In any case, I will do my best for this holy war of revenge, whether it is the French or the British, they are all evil demons that need to be destroyed. ”

Pilot Mons opened his mouth, but finally swallowed the words back into his stomach.

As part of the Treaty of Versailles, the coal-rich Saarland fell into the hands of the French from June 1919. Since the peace treaty stipulated that French rule over the region would only be 15 years, it was only natural that France would adopt a high-pressure policy of exploiting all the land and exploiting the wealth of the German land in a brutal plunder, which was completely contrary to sustainable development.

During this period, France always adopted a high-pressure rule over the region, severely punishing any Germans who passively resisted, and in the face of the bright bayonets of French soldiers, German civilians could only bury all their sorrow and hatred in their hearts. Compared to other provinces of post-war Germany. The Saarland, which was directly occupied by the French army, was the most miserable and painful region from beginning to end. By the time Saarland finally returned to Germany in early 1935, the once prosperous coal center had been transformed into a depressed wilderness with hollow mines and ruined towns.

Although under Schacht's leadership, the economy of the Saarland region also recovered at a high speed in the following years because of the shuttle bus of Germany's military expansion; However, the 700,000 people living on this land cannot forget for a moment the humiliating and painful years that lasted for 15 years. Nick, who had been oppressed by poverty for as long as he could remember, and who had seen his father whipped bloody with leather whips by French soldiers, joined the rapidly expanding Wehrmacht on the day Hitler announced the reintroduction of compulsory military service on March 18, 1935. And after three years of training, became a crew member of the carrier-based aviation. In the entire aviation brigade, he has always been the hardest working and tenacious person; And he has only one goal in doing so, that is, to practice his killing skills and take revenge on the Entente bandits who once brutally poisoned Germany!

The scorching sun at noon was blazing, releasing its heat in the middle of the sky. Nick's mood remained calm and calm, with no fluctuations as the cruise came to an end. For more than a decade, the Saarlands, who had lived under the pressure of French bayonets, had become extremely enduring, and the liberation of their homeland had given them confidence in the final victory. This gives them all the innate potential to be the best fighters. The tenacity and tenacity of the Germans have been vividly reflected in them, and their perseverance will eventually be rewarded with luck.

"Mons, something looks like there's something at 4 o'clock!" Nick, a communications soldier who had been carefully searching the sea, suddenly stared. Suddenly yelled in front of him. The driver was taken aback by the sudden sound, and quickly turned his head to look, staring for a moment, and sure enough, there was a strange light and shadow in the area where the sky and the sea were connected. If you don't look closely, you won't be able to detect its existence. He took a deep breath and steered the plane around a sharp 120-degree bend in the air, with the roar of the engines. Straight towards the sea.

In just a few breaths, the situation on the distant sea surface has changed radically because of the high-speed flight of the fighters. A faint shadow of a ship appeared on the surface of the sea one after another, and the white-painted freeboard stood out against the deep blue sea. As they flew closer, their silhouettes changed from hazy to clear: the vast majority of the fleet were merchant ships with wide bodies and rear bridges, and only two small and thin anti-submarine tugs sailed on both sides of the front of the flotilla, providing the most basic anti-submarine support for the sheep.

“2，4…… 24, 25, a whole 25 ships, 23 of which were merchant ships of the British and French! The driver, Mons, let out an excited cheer, and the ecstasy in his heart couldn't help but burst out. Although his aircraft carrier fleet had already defeated the British in the battle on September 3, and no longer needed any achievements to prove his worth, why was he willing to be lonely and ordinary at a time when friendly forces such as pocket cruisers and submarines were feasting on them? Today's discovery of this Allied fleet can undoubtedly add another strong stroke to the credit book of his own fleet, and Mons has full confidence in the quality of his comrades' attack on ships!

With the telegraph operator's ten fingers flying, a message soon centered on the plane and spread instantly across the vast universe in all directions. The carrier of the telegraph is an electromagnetic wave, and its velocity is unsurpassed by any object in the entire cosmic plane. The telegram reported its position in succinct and concise text, as well as an accurate description of the target's flotilla, the strength of the escort, and the voyage: for a two-crew Go-388 bomber, the task was undoubtedly much easier than that of a single-seat fighter.

"Well done our lads! The flotilla that appeared 220 nautical miles southeast must have been a colony departing from Gibraltar, right? After receiving the information from the communication room, the corners of Bomei's mouth curled a little, and he said without hesitation. Seeing that the staff officer in the navigation command room was already eager to try, Bo Mei paused, and said in a solemn tone: "Order, each aircraft carrier prepares 2 squads of bombers, all equipped with 250kg conventional bombs. ”

Looking around, but seeing that the handsome and resolute young man seemed to want to speak and stopped, Bo Mei suddenly reacted, and hurriedly added: "Zeppelin dispatched two bombers in advance to carry out the pilot mission for the attack aircraft group. ”

Fang Yan's bright gaze calmed down, and a faint smile gradually bloomed from his eyes. Although the speed of the merchant fleet was turtle speed, this time the target was more than 400 kilometers away; If the course of the fleet is deviated, it will be quite troublesome to search in the end. But now, there was no reason for that fleet to be spared, and Fang Yan was more than ninety percent sure that they wouldn't survive this evening.

The lights flickered, the colorful flags flew, and the aircraft carriers that received the flagship's order quickly began the corresponding preparations. Bombers were lifted from the hangar to the flight deck, and their wings were flattened in the middle and rear of the deck; Ground crews pushed carts filled with bombs underneath the planes, giving the thin metal frames the power to sink ships thousands of times heavier. Since there were 5 aircraft carriers working together to rebuild fighters, the whole process did not last long; Ten minutes later, the ground crew had cleared the oil lines and cart gear from the deck, and a green flag was raised on the bridge to allow the engine to start.

"It's going to be an all-time disruptive battle." Fang Yan looked at the bombers that took off one after another from the deck, and his voice was full of excitement and indignation. Now, even if all the warships are concentrated in one point, your own fleet can use the sword of aviation to unleash an unprecedented and terrifying killing storm in the North Atlantic. Thinking of the future generations of Britain, which always tried its best to publicize how heavy the blow and deadly threat of its maritime shipping lines had been dealt to afterwards, Fang Yan couldn't help but feel a little curious: he wanted to know what was the limit of shipping losses that Britain could really bear under his all-out blow?

Under the accurate guidance of the pilot aircraft, at about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the German aircraft group flew over the target fleet. Never expecting a deadly attack to fall from the sky, the fleet, which consisted of five French freighters, maintained the situation that the German reconnaissance planes had just discovered their build-up. Perhaps, in the eyes of the commander who commanded this merchant fleet, he should deal with submarines next, so he must not disband the fleet. Whatever the flotilla commander's considerations, this group of merchant ships sailing at turtle speed on the sea has now become the most ideal target for German bombers!

"Boom! Rumble! "Bombs fell from a great height, and the lightweight quilt caps helped them penetrate the thin open deck, exploding in devastating waves inside the merchant ship. The bulkhead of the bulkhead rolled and cracked, the load-bearing steel shattered, and the ship that was hit was instantly caught in a state of "dire straits" - the hot flames were rolling across the deck, and the endless sea water was rushing under the waterline. Looking at the German fighters flying in the air, the British commander let out a terrible roar like a dying beast, but his angry shouts could not solve anything, and he could only watch the German fighters unilaterally slaughter their merchant ships!
