At the German airfield, more than ten kilometers from Le Havre, Admiral Crook and Lieutenant General Ludendorff were waiting for the results of the sortie of carrier-based aircraft.

"General, let's hope that the carrier-based aircraft force will sink the British warships in one fell swoop. In this way, we will not have to worry about being shelled by them again when we attack Le Havre. Lieutenant General Ludendorff said.

"Hmm. Lieutenant General Ingnoll is confident. I think the carrier-based aircraft unit will be able to give us a satisfactory result this time. No matter how bad they were, they were able to drive the British fleet away from Le Havre. In this way, we will have no worries when we attack. Without the fire support of the British fleet, it would have been very easy for us to take Le Havre. Admiral Crook said.

"Yes, General. We've wasted a lot of time in Le Havre and we can't afford to go on like this. Lieutenant General Ludendorff said.

According to the original plan, they should have taken Le Havre by now. But alas, because of the frustration of the attack, they had to waste a lot of time here.

"General Crook, General Ludendorff. The 3rd and 4th wings of carrier-based aircraft have already completed the attack on the British fleet there. So far, it's working well. We have already sunk many of the British's ex-dreadnoughts and armored cruisers. Now the 5th and 6th wings, are attacking the British fleet. Lieutenant General Ingnoll said excitedly.

Although, this is the first time that the pilots of these four carrier-based aircraft wings have conducted actual combat. However, their performance was undoubtedly very satisfying. The sunk ships of the British one after another are the best proof of the results of their training.

"Very well, General. Looks like we're about to win? Isn't it? Admiral Crook said.

"Yes, General. Our carrier-based aircraft force will soon be able to win. Although, sinking all the battleships of the British, perhaps, is unlikely. But it would be completely no problem to wipe out all their former dreadnoughts and armored cruisers. Lieutenant General Ingnoll said confidently.

"That way, it couldn't be better. This afternoon, and tomorrow at the latest, we will be able to resume the assault on Le Havre. Lieutenant General Ludendorff said.

"General, I suggest that we start the offensive again tomorrow afternoon. In this way, the naval fleet can be given a chance to show its strength. The fleet, consisting of five 'German-class' battleships and five 'Braunschweig-class' battleships, will arrive tomorrow morning. When the time comes, they will use large-caliber naval guns to launch a fierce artillery attack on Le Havre. Let the British also taste what it is like to be shelled by large-caliber naval guns. When the time comes, the army's offensive will be easier. Lieutenant General Ingnoll suggested.

Admiral Crook nodded, "That's right, that's a very good suggestion. I would also like to see what the British will look like when they are heavily shelled by our large-caliber naval guns. ”

Vice Admiral Ludendorff also nodded repeatedly, having suffered heavy losses under heavy shelling by the British fleet. This has always been a pain in the hearts of the two. It would be nice to have a chance to retaliate and make the British pay for it.

Soon, the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft forces determined the results of the battle, and the 3rd and 4th carrier-based aircraft wings launched two rounds of attacks. The 5th and 6th carrier-based aircraft wings launched a round of attacks. A total of 384 sorties were carried out, and all 21 former dreadnoughts and 13 armored cruisers of the British Navy were successfully sent to the bottom of the sea. In addition, a number of small and medium-sized warships of the British fleet were sunk. This attack can be described as a complete victory.

Admiral Crook and Vice Admiral Ludendorff sent the carrier-based aircraft force to sink the former dreadnoughts and armored cruisers of the British Navy, and the news that the British fleet had fled in disarray, was notified to the units below. This immediately restored the morale of the German troops, which had been demoralized.

Although the vast majority of the German soldiers were brave and not afraid of death in battle. However, the great power of the naval guns of the British fleet still put a great strain on them. In particular, the soldiers who were within the killing range of the ship's artillery shells were directly blown into slag. For everyone, it is a shock from the depths of the soul.

"Damn the British, their fleet has finally been defeated by us. Without the support of the fleet, how can the British resist our attack now! ”

"This time, we're going to be able to kill all the British!"

The morale of the soldiers was restored, which would have an extremely beneficial effect on the German attack on Le Havre.

On the other hand, the morale of the British Expeditionary Force suddenly fell to freezing point. Many British soldiers couldn't even stand the feeling of suddenly falling from heaven to hell and collapsed.

There were even quite a few British soldiers who left the defense area without permission and came to the docks, wanting to escape from Le Havre on ships transporting supplies. Obviously, they don't have the slightest confidence in the next battle, and they just want to get out of here and save their lives.

As a last resort, Sir French had no choice but to order the British Expeditionary Force to hold his line of defense, and not to give orders or retreat without permission. In addition, a large number of gendarmes were organized, and deserters were prohibited. But even so, deserters are repeatedly banned.

There was no naval fleet to rely on, which left the British Expeditionary Force on its own for the rest of the battle. Therefore, the British Expeditionary Force had to start reinforcing the defensive line again in order to deal with the imminent German attack. However, they also don't think these lines will be of much use.

In fact, from the afternoon, the artillery of the German 1st and 8th corps, returning to the perimeter of Le Havre, began shelling. It is always right for the infantry, although they did not attack, to prepare for fire.

The next day, on the morning of May 11, a large number of ships suddenly appeared off the coast of Le Havre. It's just that the flag hoisted on these ships is no longer the St. George flag, but the flag of the German Navy.

"Oh God! The fleet of the Germans came. The officers and men of the British Expeditionary Force, after discovering this situation, were mourned one by one.

"Damn, the Germans are going to drive us to a dead end!" When Sir French got the news, there was no more blood on his face. Originally, they were no match for the Germans, and now the Germans were supported by battleships from the sea. One can imagine what will happen to the British Expeditionary Force.
