After receiving a telegram from the heavy cruiser USS Suffolk, John Murphy received a telegram from the USS Suffolk. Only then did Tovey realize that "the German ship gave up the shortcut of the Faroe Islands and sailed in the direction of the Danish Strait, but Raeder, you wouldn't think that the Danish Strait is not safe." ”

John. Tovey commanded the adjutant standing nearby, "Let Vice Admiral Holland now sail at full speed towards the Danish Channel, and send a telegram to the Suffolk, asking them to track down the German ship in their own safety." ”

The adjutant gave a military salute and walked out. At this time, John. Tovey suddenly stopped the adjutant and asked, "Is the configuration of the German ship, the Suffolk investigation clear?" ”

The adjutant flipped through the telegram in his hand and said, "Because of the darkness of the night, the Suffolk barely recognized the Bismarck, and the other heavy cruiser is of unknown type." ”

John. Tovey knocked on his seat again and again, and fell into a deep thought, "Is there only two of them, it always feels like something is wrong......

The adjutant looked at John, who had not reacted for a long time. Tovey, the adjutant, walked out lightly and sent a telegram out.

Received John. Vice Admiral Hodland, commanded by Tovey, hurriedly led the battlecruiser HMS Hood and the battleship HMS Prince of Wales to prepare for the Danish Strait to take up positions.

As soon as the telegram was received, the navigator plotted the position of the German ship on the chart. Vice Admiral Hodland ordered the two ships to speed up to 27 knots, take a 295-degree course, and go straight to the waters 300 nautical miles southwest of Reykjavik, Iceland, intending to intercept the battleship Bismarck before dawn and completely wipe out Bismarck in the Danish Strait!

At this time, Lieutenant General Hodland did not know that he was stepping on a road of no return......

"It was getting late, and the wolves who had successfully sunk the heavy cruiser Norfolk also surfaced in the night, and the submarine at this time was still propelled by diesel engines and electric motors, and the diesel engines were used after floating, because the diesel engine must need air to start in order to sail, and the diesel engine charged the battery, which is why the submarine during World War II had to surface.

At this time, Cheng Hao and the others were sitting in the conference room, and Andreas, whose eyebrows were fluttering, reported to Cheng Hao and others the scene when Bismarck's main gun was fired, "Captain, do you know, everyone was stunned at that time, the huge main gun was suddenly launched without anyone controlling it!" ”

"This must be something that only martial spirits can do! Some of the crew members who had no confidence in this battle are now full of fighting spirit, and in a local battle, the side with the martial spirit can even form a crushing situation against the other side, not to mention the ship spirit of the battleship! ”

After speaking, Andreas looked at Bismarck with extremely admiring eyes, "This time we have the winning ticket in our hands!" ”

Cheng Hao, who was on the side, smiled bitterly and explained to the first mate Andreas, "What you said is a mature ship spirit, super fire coverage, accurate hits, incredible combat skills, and a body that is no different from a human being...... But Bismarck has not even liberated his ship equipment now, so what can he talk about combat skills"

Bismarck, who insisted on standing on the side, looked at Cheng Hao with a crimson face, and complained, "Captain......"

"Ahem...... "Ahem Lu Teyans coughed dryly, and after giving Cheng Hao a look that you kid should pay attention to, he said to Cheng Hao and the others, "This battle was very successful, and in the case that our side was not damaged, two heavy cruisers of the British army were destroyed. Tovey has now found out that we are here, and there will be a fierce battle soon, so watch out tonight."

"Understood," Cheng Hao and the others nodded.

The Bismarck and Prinz Eugen continued their way to the Atlantic in a single column, and the Tirpitz headed for Reykjavik, Iceland, and a major battle was about to break out in the Danish Strait, where the British maritime lifeline would be decided.

"Sir, do you want a cup of black tea?" An English-haired blonde girl with a red eye frame handed the black tea she was holding to Lieutenant General Hodland.

"Aren't you resting, Hood?" Hodland took the black tea from Hood's hand, took a sip, and continued to stare at the chart.

"You haven't slept, how can I rest?" said Hudra, who opened the stool next to him and sat down, staring at Hodland.

"We're still a few hours before we reach Reykjavik, where we are expected to encounter German ships, how can I sleep well, and now that I have lost contact with the two heavy cruisers patrolling the Danish Strait, I'm afraid it's already a lot of luck......"

"Is that so......" Hood looked at the sad Hodland, suddenly smiled, held Hodland's hands tightly, and said, "Whether the ending is victory or defeat, Hood will accompany you to the end." ”

"yes......" Hodland smiled with relief, "Alright, rest early, I'll be back soon." ”

"Got it, sir," Hood patted Holdrand on the shoulder and said, "I'll wait for you, sir......" Hood's eyes revealed mixed emotions......
