The sea breeze was howling, and the sky over the North Sea was cloudy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info╔╗

The German High Seas Fleet, sailing from Wilhelmshaven, has been drifting in the North Sea. This huge fleet could not return home, because the strategic aerial minelaying operations of the Imperial Chinese Air Force had blocked all the ports that could provide anchorages for the High Seas Fleet.

It is clear that the Germans are not fools either. When the Germans found that all their ports were blocked, they realized that the United ** was ready to strike at the main forces of their high seas fleet.

Admiral Friedrich Bondi, commander-in-chief of the German High Seas Fleet, had from the outset opposed the German General Staff Headquarters' order for the High Seas Fleet to go to sea to fight in the English Channel, and he had always insisted that it was best to protect ships and avoid war. Because Bundy is very aware of the huge gap in strength between the German High Seas Fleet and the Chinese Imperial Navy, although in the hearts of the Germans, the German High Seas Fleet has always been the pride of the German Third Reich, and everyone is immersed in the joy of the great victory in the Anglo-German Battle of Jutland during the First World War. Even the final outcome will be replaced by a Royal Navy victory.

It was because of this inside information that Bundy was able to position the German High Seas Fleet correctly. ╔╗According to Bundy's thinking, although the German High Seas Fleet is currently the second most powerful fleet in the world, compared with the Imperial Chinese Navy, the difference in strength is not only the number of warships and the total tonnage. It's about the gap in the degree of modernization.

"If the British Royal Navy is a generation and a half, then our Imperial High Seas Fleet is a second-generation level, while the Chinese Imperial Navy is at the third-generation level. When there is a qualitative change in something, quantity is no longer decisive. ”

On the bridge of the Adolf Hitler, the ultimate battleship of the German High Seas Fleet, Bondi stared at the sea under a gloomy sky, his face full of gloom and worry.

Otto Bakkenkauer, chief of staff of the fleet, also said earnestly: "According to the latest information from the General Staff Headquarters, the Chinese Empire's two-ocean fleet and the British Royal Navy have set off and are coming to us from all directions. ”

Otto said and glanced back at the German officers and men who were doing their morning classes under the bridge. smiled bitterly: "I said I would take them back, but now I don't know what to do." ”

The High Seas Fleet Command had kept no information at bay, and all the officers and men of the German Fleet had no idea that the Chinese Empire had blockaded all the ports along the European coast, and they even thought that the Imperial Chinese Navy had fled when they heard that the High Seas Fleet had attacked the English Channel. ╔╗

For Bundy, he can't help it. If all the officers and men were to know that they could no longer return home and were about to face an attack by the main force of the Sino-British Combined Fleet, the consequences would be unimaginable. Because the German naval officers and sailors were afraid of fighting the Imperial Chinese Navy from the bottom of their hearts.

Bundy sighed and said, "At least we don't have to worry about being attacked by the Chinese Empire's submarines!" Don't we have new anti-submarine aircraft? ”

Otto smiled bitterly again: "It was like this! However, the General Staff Headquarters has just given a special reminder. The Goering guy used a new anti-submarine aircraft on the battlefield in Norway a week ago. It is said that the United Nations has already paid attention to it, and it is impossible for the Chinese Empire to have no countermeasures, and I am afraid that we should not have too many illusions about the new anti-submarine aircraft. ”

"Damn Goering!" Bundy gritted his teeth in anger.

Otto's face showed concern, and he sighed: "I don't know what way Li Dingxin will attack us!" ”

Bundy asked rhetorically: "If you were Li Dingxin, how would you attack?" ”

Otto thought for a moment and said, "If I were Li Dingxin, I would use a submarine to carry out a sneak attack first." ╔╗Even if the sneak attack is unsuccessful, it can disrupt the battle formation of the High Seas Fleet. It is convenient for the main fleet to attack. The High Seas Fleet carrier battle group will send a large number of Junkers anti-submarine aircraft if the Chinese Empire does not work out countermeasures. Then their submarine fleet will be wiped out. I don't think they will be able to crack our anti-submarine aircraft in a short time, so the submarine fleet of the Chinese Empire will suffer heavy losses. ”

Bundy nodded, thinking it made sense.

Otto continued to analyze: "If the first wave of sneak attacks of the Chinese Empire is unsuccessful, Li Dingxin will change his plan in time, and he will send an aircraft carrier battle group to attack. At present, the Chinese Empire has 11 main aircraft carriers, and it is estimated that there will be more than nine aircraft carriers engaged in attack operations against the High Seas Fleet, and two nuclear-powered aircraft carriers may not participate in the war, that is, at least 1,500 carrier-based aircraft. ”

Bundy interjected: "Even if their nuclear-powered aircraft carriers don't go to war, you haven't counted their converted aircraft carriers?" ”

Otto nodded and said: "That's right, the Chinese Empire's powerful industrial capacity is really amazing, according to intelligence, they have at least modified more than 600 aircraft carriers, and it is conservatively estimated that there should be more than 300 ships put into the Atlantic theater." ╔╗”

Bundy said: "Even if there are 300 converted aircraft carriers, they can carry at least 10,000 fighters, and even if they don't send out the main fleet, the more than 10,000 fighters in the aircraft carrier battle group alone are enough to exhaust us." ”

"Although they have such a large naval aviation, we don't have to be too afraid, after all, only the jet fighters on the nine main aircraft carriers pose a huge threat to me," Otto said. The aircraft carriers of other modifications have a small tonnage and a deck of the glide type, which is only suitable for propeller fighters to take off and land. And our side has 11 main aircraft carriers, 23 converted escort aircraft carriers, more than 2,000 fighters on standby, and if necessary, the Imperial Air Force near the coast will also rush to reinforce it, so we are not at a loss in air combat at present. ”

Bundy nodded approvingly, hoping for 10,000 reasons to convince him to persevere.

"It's just that you haven't taken the British into account yet!" Bundy raised his concerns, saying: "Although the British lost to us in the last Battle of Jutland, the strength of the British Navy is still very strong, and we can ignore them in normal times, but now that they are acting together with the Imperial Chinese Navy, this strength has to be taken into account." ╔╗”

Otto laughed: "You don't have to worry about that! I have received information from the OKW that the Empire has secretly leaked to the British authorities that the Chinese Empire had helped us fight the Battle of Jutland, and I think the British Navy now probably hates the Chinese Empire. The Sino-British combined fleet must not be monolithic, and the British with a grudge cannot be cannon fodder for the Chinese. ”

Bundy's eyes lit up and he said, "It would be great if that was the case!" As long as there is infighting between the Chinese and British navies, it will inevitably affect their joint operation. I think even if we were unfortunately defeated, we would have been able to find their way, and we might have escaped with all of them! ”

Although Bondi, as commander-in-chief of the High Seas Fleet, made people feel uncomfortable when he said such demoralizing words, Otto had to admit that the reality was cruel, after all, it was an indisputable fact that the huge military strength gap with the Imperial Chinese Navy was there.

Otto nodded and said, "Anyway, now the enemy is strong and I am weak, the enemy has an absolute advantage, as long as we retreat, we are the victors." ”

Bundy smiled bitterly: "We didn't carry out the order and returned halfway, even if we go back, I think the Führer will not let me go, and the military tribunal is inevitable!" ”

Otto said: "I don't think it's too serious! The Führer's original intention was also to preserve his strength, but he couldn't save face! ”

Bundy just shook his head and smiled bitterly, he had to accept his fate when this kind of thing was encountered.

Just as he was waiting for this, suddenly the sound of signal soldiers running behind him was heard.

"Report to Your Excellency the Commander, a large number of submarines have been found approaching our fleet!"

While Bondi and Otto were talking, anti-submarine patrol aircraft of the High Seas Fleet spotted a large number of unidentified submarines approaching in the sea area 100 kilometers west of the High Seas Fleet.

"Battle Alert!"

Both Bondi and Otto realized the seriousness of the problem, and it was clear that the unidentified submarines were on the part of the United Nations. This means that the United Nations fleet is launching an attack on the high seas fleet, and the prelude to an unpredictable sea battle is about to begin.

The sirens sounded for a long time, and the entire German Imperial High Seas Fleet was tense. The well-trained German naval officers and sailors quickly moved into their respective combat positions.

Just after 10 a.m., more than 200 Junkers antisubmarine planes that had taken off from the aircraft carriers of the first, second, third, and fourth carrier battle groups of the High Seas Fleet rushed to the theater. Bundy is in command and must wipe out the enemy's submarine fleet out of the safety of the main fleet.

Expect!

At this moment, the only word in General Bundy's mind was repeated. He was well aware that the Song-class submarines of the Chinese Empire, known as the black hole of the ocean, had always been the greatest threat to the maritime power of the Allies. If it weren't for the fact that he had the new Junkers anti-submarine aircraft in his hands, he would not have dared to sail the fleet out of German ports.

But at this moment, his heart was always not at peace, because Goering exposed the Junkers anti-submarine aircraft in advance of the secret weapon.

"Is there really no countermeasures on the part of the Chinese Empire?"

Bundy had always had doubts about this issue. Perhaps this is his innate military instinct as a veteran of World War I, an elite of World War II!

He always felt unsteady in his heart, and this feeling of unsteadiness became stronger and stronger.

More than 100 kilometers west of the German High Seas Fleet, there is indeed a huge submarine formation approaching the German High Seas Fleet.

However, these submarines were not from the Song-class submarine force of the Imperial Chinese Navy, but from the British Royal Navy submarine fleet. The 105 Don-class submarines came from the British Navy, the French government-in-exile navy, the Norwegian government-in-exile, the Dutch government-in-exile and other countries.

This submarine force was ordered by the commander-in-chief of the joint **, General Cai Yi, to serve as the attack echelon of the first wave. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
