From these arrangements, it can be seen that Cunningham is quite capable and decisive, neither of them is stupid, and it is really difficult to predict who will die.

The topography of the port of Gibraltar resembled the letter U, and it took only seven or eight minutes for the Mediterranean Fleet under the command of Cunningham's fleet to get out of the port.

The carrier-based fighters on the two aircraft carriers also took off one after another in this short period of seven or eight minutes. Britain has dominated the world for hundreds of years, and the quality of their navy is really good, and in such a short time, the entire fleet is ready for battle.

Of course, this has something to do with Cunningham's first-class combat readiness order issued a long time ago, since Rommel was clamoring for an attack on Gibraltar, Cunningham ordered all officers and men of the Mediterranean Fleet to be in a first-level combat readiness state.

What is Level 1 combat readiness? To put it simply, without undressing when you go to bed, and sleeping with a gun in your arms, everyone must reach their combat post within a minute.

The fact that the Gibraltar fleet was able to complete all combat readiness in such a short time is inseparable from the quality of the commanders.

……

It was only a hundred kilometers from Malaga to Gibraltar, which was not a distance for an airplane, but Clive found something unusual that the British did not send planes to intercept their air raids.

Abnormal is also demonic, but there is no turning back when he opens the bow, Clive believes that General Andrew, the division commander who personally led the team, will definitely have a way to deal with it.

Of course, Andrew knew the importance of this air raid, and the result of the air raid could be related to the outcome of the Battle of Gibraltar, so Andrew personally led the attack.

Andrew, the rear admiral of the Luftwaffe, went into battle shirtless at the same time as the British Navy Cunningham at this moment, and the final winner of the two will be known in more than an hour after that.

Rommel was drinking tea in the war room at this time, and dozens of staff officers in the war room were busy in an orderly manner.

On the surface, Rommel did not have any mood swings, and his face was filled with a look of ambition.

Since Rommel became governor of France, his "Eye of God" has been upgraded, and the original "Eye of God" was centered on Rommel and probed the surrounding 60 kilometers.

The upgraded "Eye of God" can fly up to 100 kilometers away from Rommel, and the size of the detection range has not changed.

Rommel didn't understand why he would increase the range of the "Eye of God" instead of the detection range when he became the Governor of France.

It may be that the French governor was in an administrative position, not a military rank, and Rommel remembered that the "Eye of God" only upgraded the detection range after he was promoted in rank.

Now the "Eye of God" can detect the situation 160 kilometers away, and the promotion brought by this French governorship is really good, and one upgrade is 100 kilometers, what good administrative position is there after the French governor! It's exciting to think about.

In fact, Rommel's heart was not at peace, there was a high-powered wireless walkie-talkie on his desk, and Rommel's "Eye of God" did not relax for a moment the monitoring of the entire Gibraltar perimeter.

This air victory will lead to the victory of the Battle of Gibraltar, otherwise it will be the end of defeat, and the important strategic position of Gibraltar must be taken, so Rommel attaches great importance to this air attack.

When Cunningham ordered the fleet to sail out of the port of Gibraltar and all the carrier-based aircraft took off, he did not stop Andrew at all, but circled over their fleet.

Although Rommel was not an air force and had never commanded the navy, Cunningham suddenly came to such a hand, which made Rommel immediately understand Cunningham's intentions.

Cunningham planned to play bayonet tactics with the Luftwaffe in the air, and then the Navy would weave a network of cross-defense fire underneath.

When Rommel discovered Cunningham's trick, he immediately contacted Andrew with the wireless walkie in front of him and told him what he knew.

Andrew never suspected that Rommel had any special functions, he thought that Rommel had placed spies carrying radio stations in the port of Gibraltar, otherwise the information about the departure of the British Mediterranean Fleet would not have come so timely.

After Andrew received Rommel's information, he immediately made corresponding tactical arrangements, knowing himself and his opponent, and not being defeated in a hundred battles, which is the kind of situation he said.

Andrew began to give new orders:

"The fleet climbed to seven thousand meters."

"The navigator reports aeronautical intelligence."

"Report to the division commander, there are still thirty-six kilometers from the port of Gibraltar, the weather is clear and cloudless, the visibility is good, and the northwest wind is level four."

"I would now like to update you...... The enemy Gibraltar fleet consisted of four battleships, two aircraft carriers, seven cruisers, twenty destroyers, and eight other ships. ”

While observing the entire formation, Andrew continued to report on the situation:

"The enemy fleet has sailed out of the port of Gibraltar, their carrier-based aircraft have not left the fleet's aviation fire network, and now a new tactical arrangement is being made."

Rommel's intelligence came in time, Andrew made timely adjustments to his tactical arrangements, and the British radar was not comparable to Rommel's "Eye of God".

"After engaging the enemy, the 24th Fighter Wing immediately dives down to engage with the enemy's carrier-based aircraft, the enemy's carrier-based aircraft are not your opponents, but you must avoid the anti-aircraft fire of the enemy ships at any time."

"The 24th Fighter Wing understands." (A flying wing, the equivalent of a flying regiment, generally has 164 aircraft.) ）

After hearing the report of the 24th Fighter Wing, Andrew continued to give the order:

"Attention to the 25th Bomber Wing, I order you to immediately follow the fighters to dive and bomb after engaging the enemy, and the bombing priority is aircraft carriers, battleships, cruisers, and destroyers."

"The 25th Bomber Wing understands."

"The 26th Fighter Wing, after the battle has begun, after the enemy fleet has been attracted, you will attack the sea by surprise, and the best targets for the light torpedoes you carry are enemy destroyers and cruisers."

The external load of the BF109 is 500 kilograms, and in order to deal with the Mediterranean Fleet, Andrew made the BF109 of this fighter flight wing all carry 500 kilograms of light torpedoes.

The conventional torpedo used in Germany was a heavy torpedo with a caliber of 533 mm and a weight of 1500 kg, while a torpedo with a caliber of 450 mm and a weight of 500 kg in this light case was used.

This light torpedo is designed for fighters, because of its limited power, it is generally only used to attack enemy destroyers, and it is somewhat reluctant to attack cruisers, and of course if the cruiser is concentrated four or five, it will also be sunk.

The JU87 Stuka dive bomber had an external load of 1,200 kilograms, and Andrew carried 1,000 kilograms of heavy bombs to deal with the British battleships and aircraft carriers.
