The sheer number of British warships was an unsolvable proposition, at least for the Germans, who had sent a large number of submarines, torpedo boats, and airships to the North Sea to harass the British fleet, in an attempt to reduce the number of the British home fleet with a sneak attack, but the results were not good. Dönitz's adventurous action was a good success, and the failure of three capital ships to participate in the decisive battle was enough to break the bones of the British, and if the more than 100 planes could play a role, as long as it could cause a few, or even one or two, capital ships of the home fleet to not take part in the battle, Schell would be confident of defeating the British.

Therefore, the Germans racked their brains to buy new attack planes from China, so the Germans sought a place where they could take off and land these planes at any cost. As a neutral country, Denmark was not the target of the Germans in the original time and space, the Netherlands and Denmark, the two low countries, had good military strength, and in Schlieffen's plan, the right flank scythe needed to concentrate most of its forces, and if the troops were divided to attack these two low countries, the gains would outweigh the losses. In addition, the relationship between European royal views is complicated, which may be the reason why Wilhelm II did not use troops against these two countries in the previous plane.

However, this time and space are different, Schlieffen has enough troops in his hands, and the early start of mobilization and millions of Chinese laborers are the reasons why he can come up with more troops. The attacks on Holland and Belgium began almost simultaneously, and cutting off the transport line from the British mainland to the Dutch would reduce the trouble for Germany. The capture of Jutland would completely block the connection between the North Sea and the Baltics, and expand its sphere of influence into Norway and Sweden, where natural resources such as high-quality iron ore were urgently needed for German chariots. After the defeat of the Netherlands, the Danish royal family fled to London, England, and when Schlieffen was defending the border between Germany and Denmark, the Danish royal family announced its surrender and became a client state of Germany. The advantage is that Schlieffen has nine more Danish servant corps with decent combat effectiveness, and he can easily set up an air base in Jutland, which also makes the overall plan of naval warfare more perfect.

A month of acclimatization training is not a long time, and according to Air Commander Catherine, the pilots are able to handle both aircraft skillfully - after all, they have a lot of experience flying biplanes before, but they are not necessarily adapted to attack at sea. In the face of a warship sailing at high speed, throwing bombs and torpedoes is not something that can be imitated in training on land, but fortunately, the instructors in China have provided mature attack formation patterns, attack patterns, altitude and speed data, etc., and these theoretical knowledge can only be obtained after a long period of practice, and the degree of preciousness is not less than that of a hundred aircraft.

Now Captain Yinmaimann, the captain of the German Navy's Provisional Air Brigade, feels that his mind is full of data and theoretical knowledge, which are dangling back and forth in his head, and it is difficult to digest them, but fortunately they have a Chinese army instructor, and this instructor will also take off with the brigade to take charge of the command. (Gene man officer, not going into details)

"Captain, a large-scale air battle broke out again on the Western Front, and Captain Polk's record has risen to 20, yours has 14, but I only have a pitiful 11. Let's talk about it, I'm only going to the Navy Air Corps temporarily, and I'll be back in the Army Air Corps after that. I still prefer air combat to attack battleships! "Second Lieutenant Richthofen, leader of the 3rd Bomber Squad, complained to Inmaiman.

The naval aviation brigade drew a large number of excellent pilots with actual combat experience, among which Yinmaiman, who ranked first in the record, served as the captain of the group, and Richthofen was among them. However, for more than a month after being transferred, training and studying, but there was no anti-air combat mission, which made Richthofen a little anxious.

"Don't worry, it's not just you, I'm going to return to the Army. After this battle, it will take quite some time for the air force to occupy the mainstream of naval warfare, and our main opponent is still the French air force. Now, go and get ready for battle, let's go sink the battleships of the British! ”

"Sink the battleship!"

"Sink the battleship!"

All the pilots in the briefing room responded loudly, and then ran to the plane that the ground crew had already prepared, and the torpedoes and bombs had been planted. After some inspection, the pilot reports to the control tower, gets the departure order, and waits for his departure order when he is ready. The military airfield, known as the "Black Forest airfield", covers a large area, the first attack wave of 25 bombers and 33 torpedo attack aircraft take off in the shortest possible time, and the second wave of 47 aircraft will take off half an hour later.

According to the reconnaissance reports of reconnaissance planes and submarines, the naval aircraft group flew to the predetermined target sea area, and the Hirtshals military airfield was located at the tip of Jutland Peninsula, which was relatively close to the sea area of engagement, and the attack aircraft group had enough fuel to go back and forth and stay in the air for a long time, of course, on the condition that the British fleet could be found as planned.

Sure enough, there was still an error in the calculations, and the pilot reconnaissance planes of the group searched the predetermined sea area according to the previous intelligence, but did not find any valuable ships, and these pilots were originally army pilots, and it was easy to get lost in the sea where there was no reference. Since the British fleet was not detected, the attack aircraft group could only remain in the nearby airspace, waiting for further reconnaissance information.

Captain Yin Maiman was anxious, staying in the air for a long time would consume precious fuel and reduce the number of attacks, and it was already 14:30 in the afternoon, if the British fleet was not found, return to the airfield to refill the fuel and take off again, then there would not be much time to attack.

Luck was still on the side of the Germans, perhaps the heavens could not stand the arrogance of the British, a reconnaissance plane numbered 066 discovered the smoke column on the sea level from a distance, and gradually approached the smoke column became denser, and then the reconnaissance plane pilot saw a huge number of fleets, huge battleships - that was the main fleet of the British!

The main formation of the home fleet, which sailed at ultra-high speed, still had thirty-five nautical miles to join the Betty fleet, and the mood of the fleet commander Jericho was also nervous as the distance approached, although the information provided by the rear intelligence department showed that the German high seas fleet did not leave the port, and the escape of the Hipper fleet seemed to indicate this, but Jericho was a little apprehensive in his heart. What if this was a conspiracy of the Germans? What if the main forces of the High Seas Fleet leave the port and lie in ambush? Is the home fleet going to fight a decisive battle with the main forces of the high seas fleet?

The battleships sailing at high speed were a little bumpy in the North Sea, and Jericho's mood fluctuated with the fluctuations of the battleship, and this kind of decisive battle with more than a hundred battleships was too much of a test of the commander's heart to endure.

Just then, the news from an officer made Jericho's heart beat even more violently, and the observers spotted a reconnaissance plane, which appeared in the southeast direction of the fleet, circled for a while, and left. The telegram intercepted by the communication room proved that it was a German plane, and since it took a long time to decipher the telegram, it was not yet possible to prove the intentions of this reconnaissance plane.

What other intentions could there be! It must be the aircraft sent by the main forces of the High Seas Fleet, that is to say, the position of the home fleet has leaked! The main force of the High Seas Fleet may be lying in ambush somewhere not far away, waiting for the best time to appear, the irascible Scheer, this time he is calm, what do you want to do?

"Keep going!" Jericho made his decision a few minutes later, he was not afraid of the ambush of the High Seas Fleet, and even expected Armageddon to come, so that he could hurt Scheer and destroy the High Seas Fleet in one fell swoop or force them to retreat back to Wilhelmshaven and become an existence fleet.

Jericho knew that Denmark had surrendered to Germany, but he did not know that they had laid out a huge field airfield there; He knew that aircraft could pose a lethal threat to battleships, but he did not know that the Germans already had such aircraft and corresponding tactics; He knew that battleships needed certain anti-aircraft weapons, but the Admiralty did not add anti-aircraft weapons to battleships, only some cruisers and destroyers were equipped with anti-aircraft machine guns and small-caliber anti-aircraft guns, and the number of anti-aircraft weapons did not meet the needs.

It is not so simple to install anti-aircraft weapons on a warship with a mature structure, it will destroy the layout of the battleship to a certain extent, reduce the performance of the battleship's protection and other performance, and limit the play of the main gun, which is not allowed by the Admiralty, in fact, Jericho opposes. Because no one believes that in the rough North Sea, there will be such science fiction weapons as the Chinese army's monoplane metal aircraft, fleet aircraft carriers, etc. (To be continued.) )
