"Well, then, there is no point in putting the fighters in position at once, and at the same time canceling the radio silence, which will be the last obstacle in our way back, sending a telegram to the Tirpitz with the words "Rhine"!

I see, Your Excellency Commander, Netzbander nodded hurriedly and conveyed Lütjans's order.

Rhine, the meaning of these two simple words is that the fleet is attacked, which is also the agreement between Lütjans and Cheng Hao on the occasion of leaving.

In order to prevent the telegram from being intercepted by the British fleet and thus locate the specific location of the Bismarck, Lütjans had already mentioned this concern in his telegram to the Southern Military District, and the Rhine exercise had achieved a more perfect success than originally planned, and on this basis, Raeder had already tacitly agreed that the original broken engagement had become a battle between the large surface ships of the two countries.

Under these circumstances, the German fleet, which was dominated by two battleships and one heavy cruiser, could not compete with the huge surface power of Britain at all, not to mention that Bismarck had awakened the martial spirit, and the main purpose of this operation had changed from destroying the British sea lines of communication and thus continuing to weaken the British living forces, to how to safely withdraw the few large German surface ships as much as possible......

"It seems that we must ask the Führer for instructions to restart that plan......" Raeder, who had read and looked at the telegram from Lütjens a few hours ago, rearranged the report in his hand and walked towards the Führer's office......

At the same time, Netzband, who received Lütjans's order, nodded and conveyed Lütjans's order, and Sebastian on the side could no longer hold back the doubts in his heart and asked in a low voice, "Your Excellency, commander, if it is an air attack, then why did Miss Bismarck use the main artillery?" ”

Without waiting for Lütjans to answer, Netzband, who was on the side, explained to Sebastian: "The main guns are used because the huge column of water caused by the main guns of the battleship can affect the vision of enemy aircraft, and in this kind of weather, it is not easy to easily hit the vital parts of the Bismarck." ”

The truth of the matter is as Netzbander expected, in the face of a bomber, Bismarck still cautiously used one of his main guns, a pair of eyes as deep as the sea revealed a trace of anger, anti-aircraft fire sprayed out of the tongue of fire in an instant swept the entire night sky, in the black curtain splashed fire also attracted the attention of the escort Prinz Eugen.

At the same time as the anti-aircraft fire of the Prinz Eugen was opened, Colonel Brinkmann, who was the captain of the ship, also hurriedly shouted to the officers on the side, "Immediately pick up the radar room for me, I'm afraid it is the enemy's carrier-based aircraft attack, how many enemies are there?" Brinkmann asked, taking the telescope handed by the adjutant and looking at the sky in the distance, but under the faint searchlight, he could only see the web of fire woven by the empty fire on the Bismarck not far away, and it was a Swordfish torpedo bomber?

"But why is there only one in number?"

Colonel Brickman was not the only one who had doubts about this, when the commander of the fleet, Lütjens, learned that the number of enemies was only one bomber, he also showed a surprised expression, Lütjans frowned slightly, and turned his gaze to Bismarck standing on the deck, if it was just an airplane, Miss Bismarck did not seem to have the need to use the main gun, the reason for using the main gun was nothing more than the use of the terrifying power of the battleship's main gun to cause a huge column of water to affect the pilot's line of sight, to harass the effect, But in this kind of weather, you can do it without using the main gun, Lütjans looked at Bismarck standing in the storm and muttered to himself, "What kind of enemy will it be, it will make you feel like a great enemy......

Bismarck standing on the deck at this moment is not as calm as Lütjans imagined, with the help of the connection between the ship and the hull, Bismarck has the same reconnaissance ability as the body, and at the same time of expanding the ability, Bismarck at this moment has the same terrifying combat power as a battleship with a displacement of 50,000 tons.

In this case, Bismarck can feel the powerlessness at this moment, that is, no matter how dense his anti-aircraft fire is, he can always be found by this plane to pass through the narrow gap, and all the advantages of anti-aircraft guns instantly become disadvantages when they meet the plane in front of him, just like the over-penetration effect produced by armor-piercing shells when they break through relatively weak armor, the cloth wings of the Swordfish make every shell fired at the Swordfish be penetrated, as the plane continues to fall, Bismarck also discovered the unusual thing about the plane, that is, the pilot of the bomber was not a human, but a ......

"Leprechaun......"
