Chapter 953: The World is in an Uproar (Part II)

No sooner had Cunningham finished his telegram than a black dot appeared in the distant sky. Subsequently, one, two, three...... A large group of black dots suddenly appeared in the sky.

Along with the black dots came the loud roar of fighter planes. Cunningham looked at the fighters flying from afar, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. That kind of confidence in the British Navy returned to him again.

The Germans also saw the British fighters rushing in, and Lütjans, as the commander of the German First Air Fleet, also became anxious, and roared at the adjutant beside him: "Quick! Let all the fighters take to the skies and the bombers drop their bombs to assist in the battle! Inform the Air Force that if they don't arrive in this battle will be lost! When the time comes, all the responsibility must be borne by them! ”

The adjutant also knew the urgency of the situation and hurriedly rushed out of the bridge to send a report. And Lütjans chased after the adjutant's back at this time and said: "Tell Dönitz that the submarine must act immediately!" We are running out of time, and if we do not inflict heavy damage or even annihilation on the British Navy in this operation, then the next battle will be even more difficult! ”

The adjutant gave a military salute and hurried down to deliver the report. The German carrier-based aircraft formation also saw the British Navy rushing at this time, but fortunately, the Lütjans below had already given them orders, so all the Ju-88 bombers flew back to the aircraft carrier for weapon refitting after diving and bombing the nearest battleship.

As a bomber, the Ju-88 is only one of its functions. In fact, the firepower of the Ju-88 is not weak, as long as the ammunition is assembled and the bomb is unloaded, then this bomber will turn into a powerful fighter.

The original purpose of the design of the Ju-88 was to be a bomber and destroyer, so the armament on it was not weak. In the area of the nose of the Ju-88 hung 1 MG81Z machine gun; 1 x 13mmMG131 with avant-garde fire

And the cockpit guard fired with a double MG81Z machine gun, and even the belly pod guard of the Ju-88 was armed with 1 MG131 machine gun.

Without the shackles of bombs, the Ju-88 could have loaded more machine gun ammunition. At the same time, it can have a greater range and ceiling.

Although six of the Ju-88s were shot down, there are now more than a dozen of the Ju-88s in Lutjans' hands. Although it could not compete with the British army. But it's still okay to withstand their attacks for the time being.

"The air defense crews of all battleships went into combat positions, and the anti-aircraft fire was fully turned on! If an enemy plane tries to rush at us, we must stop them all! ”

Lu Teyans was still not at ease, and gave another order when the adjutant returned. However, such an order from Lütjans was obviously redundant. British fighters came from afar, and they were mainly responsible for the operation of the Luftwaffe.

As a result, no fighters carried bombs, and Spitfires came at Corningham's urging. These were more restrictive to the British's operations, and they could not carry bombs with them.

And without bombs, it is obviously difficult to deal with a battleship with thick skin. Perhaps we can also look at it this way, the British Air Force was only dealing with German fighters.

As for the German Navy. No one would have thought that after losing the Air Force, those German navies would be able to defeat the Royal Navy of the British Empire.

"Inform the ships! It's time for our revenge, and we're looking for our goals! Kill these Germans!! Cunningham was once again demoralized, and he was excited to see his own reinforcements coming to the British.

The British battleships on the sea were constantly adjusting under German fire, and at the same time began a salvo at the German navy on the opposite side.

"Chirp...... Rumble! Rumble!! Boom ......" for a while, the waves on the sea splashed. Huge columns of water were constantly being blown up from the surface of the sea. The spray of the waves filled the air with a salty smell.

The German Navy was also unable to show weakness, and constantly adjusted its main and secondary guns in the waves to counterattack the British Navy. Dönitz, who was underwater, also received a telegram, and the sea wolves began to swim at full speed into a full-scale hunting state.

"Boom!!" The heavy cruiser Admiral Hippel of the German Navy shook! It was hit on the foredeck by the British light cruiser Helping Nacher, but fortunately it was only a secondary gun for Nacher.

Therefore, although a large area of the deck was fired, the situation was manageable. The damage managers rushed to the foredeck immediately after the explosion and began to repair the ship's damage.

Admiral Hipper, who had been shot, did not stop his counterattack, and he fired a salvo at the British light cruiser Kalibdis, perhaps their insistence moved Lady Luck This time two shells hit the Kalibdis.

"Boom!! Boom ......" a loud explosion came from the Karibdis. For a time, the entire battleship was on fire. The bridge of the Kalibdis was hit, and the commander was killed on the spot.

The other shell hit the Kalibdis's main cannon, causing the shell in the main gun to detonate. The entire main gun was blown to pieces, and the sailors of the surrounding battleships wailed in the flames.

Explosions kept coming. The sailors of the Kalibdis knew that the ship was finished. Everyone could only start boarding the lifeboat and then leave the battleship that was about to explode.

"Chirp...... Rumble! Rumble!! Boom ...... helped the Nacher fire another volley, but this time they weren't as lucky as last time. Huge shells exploded on the surface of the sea, making a splash but not hurting the German battleships on the surface.

And the battle in the sky has also entered the white heat. Those Spitfires that arrived were indeed the inseparable fighters that fought with the BF-109 in history. As soon as they entered, they showed their might.

The design of the Spitfire fighter is reflected in: good aerodynamic characteristics and a large lift-to-drag ratio. It was also the first British combat aircraft to successfully adopt an all-metal load-bearing skin.

Because the Spitfire uses all fixed weapons, the main landing gear and coolers are installed in the wings. As a result, the single-seat cockpit visibility of this fighter is extremely good.

In terms of overall flight performance, this fighter has always been at the world's best level even in wartime.

Compared with the BFL09E fighter, the main German aircraft, the Spitfire fighter is slightly superior in terms of maximum flight speed, firepower, and especially maneuverability, except for the range and armor.

Due to the Spitfire's relatively low wing load, when fighting German fighters who often used the tactics of 'approaching at high speed, one hit and run', they mostly seized the initiative through the advantage of good maneuverability.

"Tutu Tu Tu ...... Rumble!! "A BF-109 was besieged by several Spitfires, and a cloud of black smoke fell from the sky. However, as soon as the battle began, the German side lost more than ten fighters.

In addition to the Spitfire, the British also had Hurricane fighters. However, in terms of overall performance, the Hurricane fighter is much worse than the German BF-109.

This can be seen from the fact that the Hurricane fighter was deployed by the British in Europe and was shot down 250 in just 10 days. And in the later air combat operations to cover the retreat of Dunkirk, the Hurricane lost nearly 150 aircraft again under the strong attack of the German army.

But now the advantage the Hurricanes have is that they're not fighting alone, they're fighting with the better Spitfire. And at the same time, they completely surpassed the BF-109 in numbers.

Yes, even the losses will not be more than the BF-109.

"Hold on...... We have to hold on! Just wait until our Air Force comes, these damned Brits will pay! Ruttejens kept cheering himself up, but of course he didn't show it on his face at all.

He knew that now the German Navy was at a disadvantage. If you have even the slightest abnormality, it will lead to a decrease in the confidence of the entire fleet.

"Boom! Boom ......" a series of violent explosions were heard, and the Dönitz sea wolves finally attacked again after coordination. The cruisers Dunedin and Fiji were torpedoed by submarines, and in the explosion, they turned into a ball of fireworks on the sea, constantly burning and exploding.

But the Germans were no better, and the German heavy cruiser Bürcher finally exploded into fireworks amid countless shells of light cruisers and battleships, and slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.

The two light cruisers, the Karlsruhe and the Königsberg, were not spared the fate of being sunk, and the British Navy's long naval experience gave them more accurate shooting ability than the Germans.

Until now, the German Navy had very limited results with the guns of battleships. Most of the British warships were sunk by bombers and submarines.

"Tutu Tu Tu ...... The ......JU-88 was besieged by Spitfire fighters and Hurricane fighters, and finally began to suffer casualties. The two Ju-88s exploded directly in the sky, turning into a cloud of fireworks and falling miserably.

The corner of Lütjans's eyes, who were standing on the Count Zeppelin, twitched, but then he regained his composure. But he was in a hurry, why didn't those damn air forces come yet?! Didn't Goering say that they had already set off?!

"Buzzing ......" may have heard Lütjans's complaints, and a large number of planes finally appeared in the sky. Looking at the hordes of fighters, Lütjans finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's finally here!

"Damn it! It's a German fighter!! Immediately inform headquarters that the Germans have sent a large number of fighters and that we need more support! More Air Force Support!! "It wasn't just Ruetjens who saw the German fighters, but Cunningham.

The old sailor immediately judged what the Germans were thinking, but now the time had come when Britain could not retreat. Otherwise, these German battleships would run over, and the navy and air force would have suffered even greater losses.

We only have one battle! We only have victory!

PS: What happens next?! Guess what~
