Chapter 204: Battle of Jutland: My Glory Is Loyalty!
But the two warships rushing to the aid were still some distance away from the Earl Spee, so the medium and short-range anti-aircraft guns could not attack the British group, and the shells exploded halfway, so they could only provide support with 128mm anti-aircraft guns, and the firepower was very limited. x updates are the fastest
A few minutes later, the British planes successfully approached within 3 kilometers of the Earl Spee, and dropped 11 torpedoes under the heavy anti-aircraft fire of the Earl Spee.
In the face of the incoming torpedoes, the Earl Spee, who was already determined to die, did not dodge, and continued to fire wildly at the seriously wounded Exeter with full fire from the main and auxiliary guns.
The sky paid off, and the last salvo of the Earl Spee finally crushed the Exeter and successfully sent it to the bottom of the sea, while the Earl Spee himself ate 7 torpedoes after successfully sinking the Exeter, was blown into several sections and sank into the sea, and only three sailors on the ship were rescued by the nearby German heavy patrol.
"Finally sinking!" Looking at the Earl of Spee, which quickly disappeared into the sea, Charles let out a sigh of relief and said to the adjutant, "Let's retreat!" Stop getting entangled with these German madmen! ”
"Understood!" The adjutant headed, picked up the microphone and ordered the fleet, "All warships immediately retreat from the battle, repeat, all warships immediately retreat from the battle!" ”
Hearing the order to retreat, the remaining British heavy cruisers cried happily and turned their bows to speed up the withdrawal, while the German heavy cruisers, who were still stalking with them in front, did not know why they did not catch up when they saw that the British fleet was preparing to evacuate, but also stopped and prepared to retreat.
However, this question was quickly answered.
"Sir! You've got to see, the air search radar shows that we're up to the east! The radar crew on the Nelson hurried to Charles' side and reported.
"Something?" Charles was stunned for a moment, then stood up and said.
"yes, and that thing has a big ......" The radar soldier awkwardly walked over to the radar with Charles.
"This thing...... How could there be such a large flying object? Charles looked at the huge piece of light on the radar, and said with a ghostly expression on his face, "I'm afraid it's not the radar that is broken, right?" ”
"Well, probably not." The radar soldier was also unsure, "It's still moving towards us." ”
"How long is it expected to be in view?" Charles asked the radarman as he looked at the light that wanted to move on his own.
"About five minutes." The radarman made an estimate and replied.
"Then we'll wait and see what the hell this is." Charles put his hands around his chest and said, "To be on the safe side, let's let our aircraft carrier take off fighters, if it's something made by the Germans, we'll shoot it down!" ”
Five minutes later, there was a noisy "buzzing" sound in the eastern sky, as if thousands of bees were flying in formation, but they soon showed their true colors.
Densely packed German carrier-based aircraft groups.
"Shet!" Charles looked at the group of planes in the sky that could scare people with dense phobia, and subconsciously swore out, "Damn how many planes are there here?" Fack! ”
"It's expected to be about 200!" The adjutant also looked at the sky with a blank look on his face and replied.
"Prepare for the air defense of the fleet, fire freely!" Charles recovered from the shock and shouted hysterically.
"Whew! The lads of naval aviation are finally here! Bastian looked at the dense airplanes in the air
, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If they haven't come yet, then we will catch up and drag the British, I'm afraid it will be more than lucky!" ”
"Hehe, the main force has arrived, we can rest." The captain of the cruiser Hindenburg came to Bastian and said with a smile, "Next is the show of naval aviation!" ”
"That's right! Then came the show for the naval aviation. Bastian said solemnly, "But we can't rest yet, we still have a lot of work to do, order each ship to count the specific number of casualties, and do a good job in the aftermath of the wounded and sacrificed crews." Our victory this time came at the cost of blood. ”
Ansel flew the all-new Type 38 carrier-based fighter over five JU90 carrier-based dive bombers with Albrison.
"Albrison, how do you feel?" Ansel smiled over the on-board radio to Albrisson.
"How does it feel?" Albridson asked.
"My new plane, how does it feel?" Ansel added that not long after their squadron received the new Do.38 fighter, this was their first time flying the new super carrier-based fighter on a mission.
"Oh, you 'pirate'." Albridson smiled, "Of course it's fantastic, it's a perfect fighter with good operational response, fast climb speed, level flight speed, fast roll and strong firepower." ”
Yes, the DO.38 fighter was codenamed "Corsair" in the German army, and Lyon "shamelessly" robbed the F-4U of its name, who let the F-4U enter service in 1942, and the 1939 one is still in the finalization stage, and there is only one V-166B codename.
"How? How many more stars are you going to draw under the cockpit of your plane this time? Ansel teased with a smile.
"Haha." Albridson laughed a few times, "Let's draw three." ”
"So little? With such a powerful fighter jet, only sure to beat down three Brits? "It's not like the Albrisson I know." ”
"Our 'pirates' are strong, and the British are not weak either." Albridson said modestly.
However, although Albridson is very modest, Raeder is not modest, judging from the fact that there are only two fighter squadrons and 24 DO.38 "Corsair" carrier-based fighters in the huge fleet of more than 200 German aircraft, Raeder does not take the British "Guannose Yan" carrier-based fighters in the slightest.
I'm not targeting a particular "swallow", but all the "swallows" here are spicy chickens, Raeder said.
"What about you?" Albridson asked Ansel, "How many 'Tubenose Swallows' are you going to shoot?" ”
"Me?" Ansel was a little excited, he even manipulated the fighter jet to do three roller movements in a row while chatting, which scared the pilots of the five JU90 dive bombers below and scolded, and then happily continued, "I'm ready to be an ace!" ”
"You're going to fight three?" Albridson smiled, "Okay, I'll cover you, today you're the captain and I'm the wingman." ”
"Thank you, man, thank you." Ansel thanked him.
"Thank you, big head!" A burst of scolding suddenly came from the headphones, from the squadron leader of Ansel's and Albrison's fighter squadron, "Ansel, what do you want to do?" With such a dense formation, you dare to play rollers? Believe it or not, I'll go back and confine you?! ”
