The sea breeze was cold, the red sun was slanting in the west, and a heavy battleship with a huge red background swastika painted on the bow and tail decks was slowly sailing eastward under the escort of four destroyers.

"Jonas, will this allow the fleet to safely evacuate the battlefield?" Lindeman turned his head and asked towards Fang Yan with a look of resentment in his eyes. More than half an hour earlier, after a short period of contemplation, Commander Bomet had approved the young man's plan and ordered the Bismarck to break away from the fleet and go to the sea not far from where the British planes had first found themselves, to carry out the task of decoying the enemy. For Lindemann, the captain of the Bismarck, who had failed to fire a single shot in this operation and was now a target for others, nothing could have made him more depressed!

Fang Yan coughed and said with a dry smile: "In this way, the aircraft carrier formation can get enough cover." You should also know that in order to ensure the recovery of the aircraft, our aircraft carriers cannot sail too far into the depths of Scapa Bay. And in this process, they, who are always within the strike radius of the British land-based aviation, must rely on us to attract hatred for them. According to the original plan, the location of our fleet should not have been discovered; But now that the situation has changed, we can only let this world-famous battleship carry out emergency rescue. ”

Lindeman's expression was uncertain, and he didn't have any psychological fluctuations because of Fang Yan's last kind words. As early as when the other party made this suggestion, Lindemann had already understood what the young man was thinking. For both the British Navy and the Air Force, the Bismarck was ranked far more than any German ship, and was their most desperate target to get rid of - Goebbels's propaganda had already blown the new battleship to the fore; She was extremely well-known not only in Germany, but also among the British enemies.

Therefore, when British planes spotted the Bismarck in the waters near the police, they would inevitably pounce on the battleship with all their might, in order to sink the target in one fell swoop. As for the whereabouts of several other innocuous aircraft carriers. These British planes, which saw their biggest prey, naturally did not have the heart to bother looking for them.

Thinking of this, Lin Dimen felt a strong depression in his heart: he commanded the world's largest and strongest battleship to go to sea this time, and he thought that he would show his strength and turn the British sea transportation line upside down, and at the same time harvest the heads of countless British warships; But who would have thought that not only would the limelight be taken away by the aircraft carriers of the same industry, but he would even have to fail after the failure of these aircraft carriers. Bear the full consequences for them!

Seeing that Lindemann was still depressed, Fang Yan couldn't help but say comforting again: "Your Excellency Colonel, although we will undertake a retaliatory attack for the aircraft carrier fleet, we are not without assistance. Our aircraft carrier fleet is currently 70 kilometers away, and as soon as our ship's anti-aircraft radar detects an incoming British group, we can immediately call for help by radio. There are a total of 28 fighters on board the two light aircraft carriers, Blucher and Sedlitz, which is enough to provide us with adequate air support. Coupled with the protection of 4 destroyers, it was almost impossible for the British to torpedo their own ship, which was maneuvering at a high speed of 30 knots. ”

"As half a designer of this battleship. I can tell you unequivocally, Colonel, that the only thing that can threaten its survival at the moment is a large number of torpedoes that hit. Neither the bombs nor the shells that could sink her have yet to be made. It was precisely because I knew that she had the absolute defense of 40 mm open deck + 170 mm main deck that I dared to offer her to carry out the decoy mission. If a British bomber had carried a normal bomb under 250 kg or without a delayed fuse, her open deck would not have been blown through. Fang Yan said seriously.

In the face of Fang Yan's vow, Lindeman's face finally became a little softer. He suddenly remembered that in addition to being obsessed with aviation combat, this young man was familiar with and designed traditional gunboats. They have also reached extremely high levels. The other party's firm assurance seems to be indeed confident and confident. Lindeman nodded slowly. Just as he was about to say something, suddenly, the phone connected to the radar room screamed violently in a piercing voice. With a slight change in expression, he grabbed the receiver, only to hear a calm and slightly trembling voice from the other end of the phone: "Air targets have been found 90 kilometers away in the direction of 162, the number is 14, and the altitude is 2000. The speed is 100 knots, the course is 307 directions, and it is expected to reach the sky over the ship in 28 minutes! ”

"The British Swordfish are coming, and this is supposed to be an attack wave released by an aircraft carrier." Fang Yan made a corresponding judgment in an instant. His thoughts raced, and he spoke again like a cannon, "These 14 planes won't be all swordfish. Notify the 2 light aircraft carriers on standby and let them dispatch 10 fighters to meet them. ”

Lindeman was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Fang Yan to give a strategy to deal with it so quickly. At this time, the commander of the fleet, Bermay, had already transferred to the Zeppelin with several staff officers because he had to command a large force; Fang Yan, who was familiar with naval and air warfare, was left behind to assist Lindemann in defending against the attack from the British aircraft. Seeing Fang Yan's confident look, Lindeman, who had almost no understanding of naval and air combat, could only choose to trust Fang Yan; He immediately dialed the phone in the telegraph room and repeated Fang Yan's words to the other end of the phone.

A few minutes later, Bismarck's radar picked up an aerial target emerging from the northwest; Obviously, it was a fighter that took off from its own aircraft carrier. They quickly crossed this distance, which is not far for a surface ship, and flew quickly in the direction of the Bismarck's radar. Fang Yan glanced at the time of the pocket watch in his hand, and it was 5:23 p.m. at this time. In two hours, his dangerous period will pass, but in the meantime, he will almost inevitably face a severe test.

"Air targets were detected at a distance of 197 km in the 90 direction, the number was 60 to 70, the altitude was 4000, the speed was 160 knots, the course was 21 directions, and it is expected to reach the sky over the fleet in 18 minutes!"

Only a quarter of an hour later, shocking information came from the radar room again, Fang Yan's hands suddenly clenched into fists, and the brilliant sharp light in his eyes suddenly burst out almost instantly. Although he had expected that there would be British shore-based planes coming for revenge, he did not expect that it would provoke so much like stabbing a hornet's nest! Didn't the World War II history books compiled by the English-speaking world say that the strength of the British Royal Air Force at the beginning of the war was very weak, and it was not at all comparable to that of the Luftwaffe, which was planning for war? Why is there still so much power in the wilderness of North Scotland?

Thinking that the British had always touted their enemies to set off their heroic and great nature, Fang Yan suddenly understood everything. He gritted his teeth and let the rear aircraft carrier release all the fighters that could be used, and at the same time brought the battleship into first-class combat readiness through Lindemann. In an instant, the piercing alarm bell buzzed in every corner of the Bismarck, and the 1,800 crew members came to their posts as fast as they could; The speed of the battleship began to rise, and the sides of the bow rose like a waterfall on both sides of the huge white water.

On the open deck and bridge, dense anti-aircraft forests of 18 128 mm, 56 40 mm, and 38 20 mm anti-aircraft guns pointed to the sky. Although a considerable number of them were unable to fire at the starboard side of the incoming enemy aircraft in the first place, as the battle progressed, each anti-aircraft gun had a chance to shoot down the enemy aircraft. At the same time, the three triple 450 mm main turrets weighing 2,200 tons also began to whimper, and the thick gun body was raised diagonally, and finally stopped at the maximum elevation angle of 30 degrees. They have been loaded with shrapnel designed for anti-aircraft use, and their purpose is to disperse enemy aircraft when they are still 18 kilometers away, so as not to allow a well-organized enemy to launch a uniform, well-organized, and much more difficult attack than normal. Listening to the radar room's report that the enemy planes were getting closer and closer, Fang Yan couldn't help but cover his ears.

"Boom!" An earth-shattering tiger roar suddenly sounded in the sea and sky soaked by the afterglow of the setting sun, Fang Yan, who had never experienced this feeling, only felt as if there were thousands of thunderbolts exploding at the same time in his head, and the huge roar made him almost faint. However, this dizziness was instantly dispelled away by the intense brilliance that bloomed in front of him. Fang Yan saw the red glow of the cannon dancing, and the blazing waves swept the sky; Almost in the blink of an eye, the starboard side of the Bismarck erupted with three clouds of sparkling rainbows more than 100 meters long. Looking from afar, it looks like a red dragon going out to sea, and comets are raining; Its majesty is so great that there is no other warship in the world that can compare with it!

While deeply shocked by the unprecedented atmosphere brought about by the salvo of nine 450-mm cannons, Fang Yan saw that the projectile fired by the thunder burst finally burst away inch by inch at an altitude of 4 kilometers after flying at high speed for half a minute. In the distance, vast "black clouds" appeared in the sky, and each black cloud was composed of thousands of steel balls and fragments of artillery shells. The two British planes were swept up by the edge of the rapidly spreading black cloud, and in an instant they disintegrated in a volley. The attacking British aircraft group suddenly dispersed and became a small group in squadrons.

At 12 kilometers away, however, they were forced to disperse further by shrapnel fired from twin 128-mm anti-aircraft guns on German battleships and destroyers. At this time, 18 German fighters who rushed to the battlefield from 70 kilometers away immediately entered the battle, and they successfully entangled a group of incoming British light bombers, so that the opponent could not use all their strength to devote themselves to the subsequent attack on the ship.
