The little Japanese are short, but they are definitely not stupid, their reconnaissance planes have long seen the German submarine floating around the German fleet, this U2 submarine is what Japan is most afraid of, they are not afraid of the German fleet, little Japan does not dare to say that the German fleet will be completely annihilated, but it is still possible to send the merchant ships escorted by the German fleet into the bosom of the sea, but do they dare to do this? This kind of action is undoubtedly a direct declaration of war on Germany, and in addition, their fleet is afraid that it will be difficult to escape the fate of annihilation, and the intelligence sent from Nanjing has made it very clear that the German flying regiments stationed in Nanjing are all the most advanced BF109, and the Japanese aircraft are not the opponents of BF109 at all, not on the same level. Little Japan is such a cheap, in the face of absolute strength, it will only pretend to be a grandson.

Marshal Raeder also ordered the fleet to sail at full speed towards the Japanese fleet, and at the same time ordered all the planes to take off in two batches to escort the fleet, both sides were sabre-rattling, and sailed towards each other violently, looking at the posture of the two fleets to fight to the death, in fact, both fleets were pretending, and did not really want to start a war immediately, otherwise the Japanese fleet would have already sent large-scale carrier-based aircraft to bomb the German fleet.

Soon there was a low roar of "buzzing ......" in the sky, the sound of aircraft engines, and the planes of both sides reached the sky over the German fleet almost simultaneously. Both Raeder and Dönitz left the war room and arrived at the bridge platform of the Gneisenau, both looking at the sky with binoculars.

Raeder hurriedly picked up the radio and shouted:

"Immediately order the planes that arrived over the fleet not to hover over their own fleet, but to fly directly over the Japanese fleet."

Raeder is also a bachelor, since you little Japan sent planes to show off their might over our fleet, then my planes will also go to your fleet to show off, you must know that there are the most advanced JU87 dive bombers in German aircraft, although this aircraft is a target for fighters, but for warships, it is simply a nightmare, because JU87 is flying over the warship, and then dive bombing at a near-vertical angle, the angle at which the air defense weapons on the warship are raised is limited, In one case, it will not exceed seventy-five degrees, that is to say, the warship bombed by JU87 Stuka, the anti-aircraft weapons on it are basically ineffective against the dive-swooping JU87, which can only cause a one-sided slaughter!!

This time the leader of the team is a captain of the flight regiment Hartman, this young man is not very old, he can become the captain of the flight group, it is basically impossible to have no ability, this time he commands the entire flight team, Hartmann has not yet reached the sky above the fleet when he receives the order of the fleet commander Marshal Raeder, Hartmann who received the order hurriedly adjusted the course according to the direction given on the telegram, and flew towards the Japanese fleet.

After Raeder gave his first order, he received another telegram from the submarine:

"The three aircraft carriers of the Japanese fleet have already broken away from the group and are heading to the rear, and the main forces of the fleet continue to move towards our fleet."

Is this little Japan afraid of the German fleet? Of course not, this is a small Japan wants to put the aircraft carrier in the rear to hide, how could Marshal Dönitz let the Japanese come to this hand, and hurriedly ordered his U2 submarine to send three to follow, because Dönitz is the submarine commander of Germany, so this order was given by Dönitz.

The fleets of the two sides were gradually approaching, nearly 100 Japanese planes circled over the German fleet, and the German fleet below was driving in an anti-aircraft formation, and all the anti-aircraft artillery fire was pointed at the sky, and the German warships had always paid more attention to air defense, so there were still more anti-aircraft weapons on the German warships, and the firepower was also very sufficient. The dozen or so 10,000-ton giant ships could only drive in fear, the speed of the 10,000-ton giant ships was low, the turning was inflexible, and there was no firepower for self-defense, so once the war started, they could only go to the sea to feed the sharks.

In fact, Li Mo was also nervous, he was also holding a telescope in the wheelhouse of the passenger ship at this time to observe the situation outside, Li Mo held the telescope tightly with both hands, because he was too nervous and used too much force, which made the knuckles of the telescope become slightly white. Li Mo was under a lot of pressure at this time! This is a full 100,000 tons of munitions, 5,000 elite German troops, and the entire elite German navy, all of which are near the coast of China, thousands of miles away from Germany. Of course, this made Li Mo very nervous, and even Major General Rommel on the other boat was in a cold sweat, and the sweat on his back had already wet his military uniform.

Nagumo Nakaichi is not having a good time! 100 German advanced fighters circled over the entire Japanese fleet like crows, and the roar of "buzzing ......" made people feel frightened, especially what kind of aircraft with a little folded wings, and from time to time practiced diving against two battleships, and the heart-rending cry of "woo ......" made people feel like death had descended, this kind of plane was of course the JU87 dive bomber, and under his wings hung two 500-kilogram aerial bombs, even if it was a battleship of tens of thousands of tons, I was afraid that it would not be able to carry a few. The Japanese Navy, which thought it was the second largest in the world, really dispelled the idea of attacking the German fleet from the bottom of its heart after seeing the advanced German planes.

In fact, Nagumo Nakaichi is still more inclined to attack the German fleet, the Japanese army has always had the following tradition, if Nagumo Nakaichi thinks that the German fleet is just an embroidered pillow, he will definitely immediately ignore the telegram sent to him by the Japanese cabinet, but now Nagumo Nakaichi is completely discouraged, there are advanced fighters and dive bombers in the sky, and the U2 submarine that exists like a ghost under the sea, Nagumo Nakayi is sure that if he dares to shoot the first shot, although he can inflict heavy damage on the German fleet, but his own fleet is afraid that it will also be wiped out. This is the majority of the elite forces of the Japanese Navy, once these elite forces are lost, it is basically impossible to rebuild, where are Japan's resources and military spending.

Nagumo Nakaichi, who was helpless, had to order decadently: "Order all gunners to turn off the weapon safety so as not to misfire due to nervousness, and the fleet turns to the left five degrees." ”

As soon as this order was issued, the officers and men of the Japanese fleet were also relaxed, and the German fleet was soon informed by the plane, and Raeder and Dönitz also breathed a sigh of relief.

The Japanese fleet deviated from the course, and when the two huge fleets met, the distance was already more than 20 nautical miles, and the German fleet did not make any stops, and immediately drove at full speed, and the second wave of planes, Raeder was not sent to the sky above the Japanese fleet, but stayed in the sky above his own fleet to escort, and the first wave of planes also began to return because of fuel problems.
