Chapter 441: Doomed Miss
"Hit!" The sudden violent explosion made Dönitz, who was waiting for fate with a disgraced face, open his eyes excitedly.
He could hear that the loud noise was not the sound of a missile hitting the battleship, but ...... The plane was hit and exploded, "Is the radar fixed?" Has communication been restored? ”
If so, then there is hope for the High Seas Fleet.
"It was the naval guns, the marshal, it was our cruiser Lyuzhov that shot down a ......"
Before the captain of the flagship Admiral Hippel could finish his words, two loud noises came in succession, interrupting his report.
Dönitz looked at the captain of the flagship, and this time, it was certainly not the sound of the downed plane. Electronic communication is not possible, and the storage of the command room has lost its meaning. Staying here, he could only receive the wired communication signal from the Admiral Hippel, and he couldn't even know which battleship was hit by a missile with the loud noise just now.
Dönitz decided to go out and observe the battle himself.
"Marshal, this ...... It's dangerous! ”
"Dog/! Wouldn't it be dangerous for me to stay in the command room and wait for the battleship to be sunk? Faced with the obstruction of his subordinates, Dönitz glared angrily, and his handsome face was hideously deformed.
In September, the sea breeze in the Atlantic Ocean cools down, but Dönitz's heart is even cooler when he walks out of the bridge command room! Kilometers away, a large black hole had been blown out of the upper part of the side chord of the Graf Zeppelin, into which the icy waters were poured from time to time by the raging waves. The front half of the aircraft carrier is slightly tilted, and it is supposed that the sailors have opened the sealed chamber on the other side of Zeppelin, filling it with water to keep the aircraft carrier balanced.
German battleships have always been known for their extreme survivability, and such injuries can be called heavy damage, but not fatal enough. But what makes people desperate is that the speed of the Zeppelin has dropped to more than a dozen knots as a result, there is no maneuverability, and the high seas fleet cannot effectively defend against the impact of the "Skyhawk", and the final fate of the Zeppelin can be imagined.
Dönitz closed his eyes again, he could not bear to see the hope of a German navy rise being destroyed.
However, the successive loud noises made it a delusion for the naval commander to close his eyes and escape, and groups of "flying eagles" were continuously attacking, one "sea spear" after another jumped and flew like flying fish on the sea, and one battleship after another that tried to block the guns for the Zeppelin was hit. The "Sea Spear" anti-ship missile's waterline blasting attack defense is quite lethal for all warships. The destroyers Hamburg and Mainz left their masts above the ocean in a matter of minutes, and the heavy cruiser Lützov, which had just made a contribution, and the flagship Admiral Hippel were sister ships, with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons, but even such a huge ship could only withstand two rounds of blows from the "Sea Spear" and could not be stopped from sinking!
More than a thousand meters away, the sailors on the Lüzov could not hear Dönitz's tearful and heart-rending screams. But Heaven could not bear to suffer these brave sailors.
The captain gave the order to abandon the ship in time. According to the German Navy regulations, the captain of a ship who abandons a ship without the permission of the fleet commander is subject to military trial. It was clear that the captain of the Lützov did not hear Dönitz's shouts, and when the communication was cut off, he decided to sacrifice himself and save the lives of the sailors.
For Germany, as long as there is time, warships can be built, but Gao Suzhì's sailors can not be trained at any time. Ten years of the Air Force, a hundred years of the Navy, they are the future of the German Navy, and with them there is hope.
The Lützov was sinking, but most of the hundreds of sailors had boarded the fleeing boat. Dönitz's tearful face showed a rare grin.
Suddenly, the German admiral looked up to the sky and shouted, "Here I am, the flagship of the High Seas Fleet is here, come, sink my ......"
The "Flying Eagles" were more than ten kilometers away, but even if they could hear them, the Judas pilots might not pay attention to him. Compared to the only aircraft carrier in service in Germany, what is the value of a field marshal?
This is a question of the wise and the wise.
Perhaps, if Zhong Yi had been present, then he would have given up the attack on the Zeppelin and sunk the Admiral Hippel instead. More precisely, to kill Dönitz!
A difficult aircraft carrier whose performance is not advanced is far less terrifying than a naval wizard in the eyes of the Han Emperor, and the victory of the Red Shield fleet lies in the leadership of science and technology. Without the "eye of fire", without the electronic equipment of the German army under the full control of the Judas Navy, even if the aircraft carrier was two against one, with the command level of Dönitz, with the tenacity and tenacity of the Germans, the victory would never have been so easy. The results of the Battle of Celtic also bear this out. But neither the attack aircraft pilots of the second formation, nor Admiral Airy of the Red Shield fleet, were aware of this.
After clearing the "obstacles" of desperately guarding the Zeppelin, the "Flying Eagles" started from the sixth formation and dispatched three formations in a row to attack simultaneously in different directions.
This time, no one could save the Zeppelin, including Dönitz, who was still roaring on the verge of collapse with the help of the sailors.
Five "Sea Spears" hit the German aircraft carrier, and such a blow was actually enough to sink the Zeppelin three times, and there was no suspense, Zeppelin began to sink. The sailors on board ignored the abandonment flags of the other ships, and more than 1,400 first-generation German aircraft carrier sailors sank to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean with the great name of Graf Zeppelin.
Electronic communications were cut off, the old flag language failed to save more than 1,000 of Germany's most elite sailors, the Zeppelin was finally sunk, and Dönitz sat down on the second deck of the flagship, as if he had been drained of all his strength.
"Hang the command flag and let the dog/mother/raised Han army come!" The marshal's mental breakdown lasted only a few dozen seconds, and he didn't need anyone to help him, like a magical spring brother possessed, and Dönitz's sudden resurrection of full blood startled the sailors who were gathered around.
"Hang the command flag and carry out the order!" It was still a frenzied roar, but in the ears of the decadent-looking sailors, it found the backbone. Flying the flagship command flag was the most morale-boosting way to declare war before radio was applied to the navy, and it was as heroic as "fire at me" to indicate the position of the fleet commander to the enemy.
It's a pity that the last G-4 pilot with a bomb didn't have any European medieval chivalry at all, or maybe the pilots of this year couldn't understand the flag language at all - the Royal Naval Flight Academy of the Han Empire didn't teach this either!
Dönitz's feat of killing was not accomplished, and the last two "sea spears" of the second formation of the Red Shield fleet hit the slow-moving supply ship Lützen, and the weakly armored transport ship was directly torn in two by the sea spears, and sank to the bottom of the ocean before the sailors on board could escape in a hurry. Of the more than 400 sailors, only a few dozen escaped from the whirlpool of the sunken ship and were successfully rescued by lifeboats sent by other warships.
"Bastard, son of a bitch, don't go, come, sink me!"
Dönitz's voice was hoarse, and his low roar was like a demonstration of the fury of a wounded beast. But the "Flying Eagle" formation still withdrew without hesitation! Except for the one that was hit, the remaining seventeen "Flying Eagles" all ran out of missiles.
More than seven hundred kilograms of "Sea Spear" anti-ship missiles, each Skyhawk can only carry a maximum of two, but the aircraft carrier Zeppelin was sunk, and the task of the "second formation" was successfully completed. A "Skyhawk" for an aircraft carrier, and carrying a heavy cruiser, two destroyers, and a supply ship, this deal could not be more cost-effective, and Rao, a Jew with extremely developed merchant cells, could not find any fault.
The "pilots" of the Judah navy left satisfied, leaving the bleeding Germans licking/licking their wounds while hurrying to rescue their comrades who had fallen overboard.
At this moment, Dönitz straightened his uniform, strode back to the command room, and gave an order to save the German Navy: turn at full speed and target the southwest.
There is no need to wait for the carrier-based aircraft to return, and there is no mothership to land them when they come back. Everyone understands that a strong man broke his wrist, but "turn to the southwest"? To the southwest of the Celtic Sea is in the direction of Bermuda, where the main forces of the Allied Combined Fleet are fighting fiercely with the US Atlantic Fleet, losing aircraft carriers and several capital warships, and where is the wounded High Seas Fleet going? To send to death?
Many German naval officers raised such questions, of course, only in their hearts. The cold-blooded obedience and iron-blooded discipline of the German soldiers made it impossible for them to question any orders from their superiors. If Dönitz was still in the same state of madness as he had just now, then perhaps they would have taken matters into their own hands and refused the orders of the "madman", but it was clear that the current admiral was sober, and the cold light in the eagle's eyes was even colder than usual.
The captain of the flagship Admiral Hippel was just about to order the communications staff officer, who was temporarily acting as a flag soldier, to issue the flag, but was pleasantly surprised to find that with the withdrawal of the enemy's attack aircraft formation, the ship's electronic equipment began to return to normal.
In the radar, small bright spots representing the other ships of the fleet appeared one by one, and they violently dragged the communicator, and the ugly "zizi" sound now sounded so pleasant.
"Marshal, the communication equipment is back to normal!"
But the marshal did not hear any of them. The captain found that the marshal had closed his eyes again, and his face was full of pain.
"Marshal, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, notify the other ships, turn at full speed!" Dönitz waved his hand without strength, the enemy withdrew, the equipment was restored, and the only luck in his heart was shattered.
Now, it can be 100% confirmed that the Allies have an advanced equipment that can shield the signals of the opponent's electronic equipment on the battlefield, and ...... According to the practice of the Han Kingdom, the equipment used by the Judah Navy will definitely not be the most advanced in the Han Kingdom.
The more he thought about it, the more powerless he became, and Dönitz didn't understand why the gap between the two sides was already so huge!
"Führer, you always complain that Germany cannot find good allies, it's a pity ...... The best you've missed! ”
