In the midst of a troubled night on the British mainland, in a dead silence that made people unable to sleep; The Home Fleet of the British Royal Navy had almost arrived in the Channel Islands to support the Chief of Staff John and his troops, and the entire English Channel was gradually changing again, and it was no longer calm.

At the very least, a fierce naval battle seemed to be brewing, as silent and terrifying as the eve of a storm.

Before the outbreak of World War II, according to some historical materials published on the Internet in later generations, many people knew that Britain had 12 main battleships, including Queen Elizabeth-class battleships, revenge-class, and Nelson-class; Battleships such as the King George V class.

The battle cruisers had 3 ships such as the Hood class and the Prestige class.

8 aircraft carriers; Rage, Athletic God, Eagle, Brave; That is, the Brave, and the Glorious, as well as the Hundred-Eyed Giant, the Royal Ark, and the Unicorn; Finally, there are 3 aircraft carriers such as the Glorious Class (Glory, Victory, and Fearful), as well as aircraft carriers such as the Indomitable Class and the Revenge Class.

There are 18 heavy cruisers, 49 light cruisers, 11 Dido-class air defense cruisers, 7 Fiji-class and 2 Uganda-class air defense cruisers under construction. 119 destroyers, 64 frigates, 45 minesweepers.

There are more than 200 ships and more than 69 submarines, with a total tonnage of 1.3 million tons.

As for the main German battleships, 2 battlecruisers, 3 battlecruisers, 2 heavy cruisers, 6 light cruisers, 22 destroyers, 20 frigates, 57 submarines, the total tonnage is about 350,000 tons.

So from the above data, it can be seen that before the outbreak of World War II, the British army was not afraid of the German navy at all; Even less worried about the Germans and their naval battles in the English Channel.

In fact, the German fleet was really destroyed by the British during World War II, so in the end, it could only use the wolf pack submarine warfare advocated by Dönitz to break the diplomatic operation, and sink and destroy the British sea transport fleet.

But now that there is an outlier like Chen Yanlong with an exchange system, the British army dreamed that the German army secretly had a large number of aircraft carrier troops under their noses, and they were not afraid to play cards to fight.

Just like the British Royal Navy now, with the assistance of the United States, the aircraft carrier fleet is also twice as large, allowing them to deploy the aircraft carrier fleet to participate in Eisenhower's Italian counterattack, and can also arrange an aircraft carrier fleet to participate in the operations of Cunningham and Dönitz's aircraft carrier fleet, and can also leave an aircraft carrier fleet to defend the homeland.

What was just a surprise to their wishful thinking was that the Germans not only made a sudden and large-scale air raid on the English Channel, especially the successful landing on the Channel Islands, but were also able to dispatch a large number of advanced ocean-going submarine groups and aircraft to intercept their support operations.

The worst thing was that the Royal Aircraft Carrier Fleet, which was responsible for guarding the English Channel and protecting the homeland, had already seen the German aircraft carrier fleet attacking the port of Ceuta far below; Dönitz suddenly separated an aircraft carrier fleet, bypassing Cunningham's maritime reconnaissance, which had just suffered defeat, and sailed directly from the North Sea to the Strait of Dover.

Then the German planes carrying a large number of flares immediately took off from the aircraft carrier to provide lighting instructions for the German night bomber troops, and went directly to the British mainland to carry out sneak bombing.

As for the German minesweepers, they are also in full swing, clearing all the British mines and mines deployed in the English Channel and the Strait of Dover.

"Boom! Rumble ......"

Soon the entire British port of Dover was under heavy air raids.

"Boom!"

Then, a German battleship Tirbitz instantly bombarded one after another deafening sound of naval guns, which opened the prelude to the naval battle of Dover Harbor.

This carpet-type bombardment, which began from the beginning of the general bombing to the last one, suddenly began under circumstances that none of the British had expected.

Subsequently, under the long-range bombardment of the huge naval guns on the battleship Tirbitz, one after another high-explosive shells pierced the port of Dover, where the stars were getting darker and the weather and air were getting colder and colder.

At the same time, the constant earth-shaking bombing of those night bomber groups shrouded the entire Strait of Dover in the shadow of war, and there were constant casualties among men and soldiers.

Even the French, who had been sleeping on the other side, were awakened by the sudden bombardment, and ran out of their homes to see what was happening.

In particular, the French residents in the area of Calais and Dunkirk in France are desperately evacuating and looking for a place to take refuge.

"It's the Germans' bombing, they're coming!"

"Run! There are a lot of planes and fleets! ”

"What about our troops? How come it hasn't appeared yet! ”

When the German fleet attacked, both sides of the French and British sides approached the Strait of Dover, frantically looking for refuge in horror and exclaiming in fear.
