More than 160 airships formed a spectacular formation in the sky, lowered their altitude to 500 meters under the jaw-dropping gaze of the British soldiers on those landing ships, and then swept past the landing fleet in a column sailing towards the mouth of the Elbe.

At this time, the captains of the landing ships finally understood what they wanted to do, and then a series of chaotic commands to turn the rudder to the right or to the left rang out on each landing ship, and as for the soldiers who stood on the deck and watched the excitement, they also woke up from the shock brought by the formation of more than one hundred and sixty airships, and screamed in horror one by one while looking at the airship that was almost pressed overhead, and fled to the cabin in a hurry, and some accidentally fell into the sea.

It's a pity that it was too late at this time, just when the landing ships turned around separately, under the airship in front, the lights used to remind the formation to drop bombs together suddenly turned on, and then almost at the same moment, under all the airships, countless black dots whistled and fell.

If it were the Russian infantry who had been on the Eastern Front for a long time, I am afraid that the moment these airships regrouped, they would understand what a terrible hell they would face next, but unfortunately the captains of the British Navy did not have such a painful experience, and their mistakes caused this fleet to suffer an extremely heavy blow. Although those airships did not aim at all, and even many simply dropped solidified qiyou bombs on the sea between the two landing ships, the carpet bombing that dropped thousands of coagulated qiyou bombs at a time still caused fourteen landing ships to be shot at the same time in an instant.

The Allies were burned to the ground, even the fortress of Verdun was burned to a vitrified hellfire, and then one by one it exploded on the oak decks of the top layers of these British landing ships, and the paste-like solidification that flew out instantly made the deck burn with flames. There is no possibility of extinguishing this kind of fire at all, and even if only one coagulated qiyou bomb explodes on any landing ship, then the fate of this landing ship can only be to become a fire tank floating on the sea, and the steel hull and wooden deck give this kind of warship an unparalleled ability to rush to the beach. But now that's their fatal flaw.

Of course, if it's just a burning fire pot, it's not a big deal, but in each landing ship, there are a thousand army soldiers, and there are more than a hundred crew members, and these more than 1,100 people are completely enclosed in the steel hull, and the top of their heads is a raging fire that keeps spreading downward, and the front and back are all hard and unshattered steel, of course, they can't open it, these desperate soldiers can't scream every day, and they can only wail and wait for death in the flames.

Plus the ammunition that was detonated by the flames. Every landing ship that was shot turned into the brightest fireworks that General Jericho had ever expected, but unfortunately it was not for them to celebrate the victory.

As for the landing ships that were not directly hit by the coagulated qiyou bombs, the days at this time were not easy, and the hellish fires that exploded on the sea surface would not be extinguished either, and the sea water was full of floating flames. Two of them even broke into the minefield, and soon each hit a mine, and then sank with the ship's infantry in the explosion.

"Attack freely and drop all the remaining coagulated qiyou bombs." Vice Admiral Hall looked at the fourteen still burning landing ships below and said with a sneer. This was already the best result he could get, and it didn't matter what effect the next free attack would have.

Seeing the flags emanating from his airship, all of them scattered, looking for their targets. He dropped all the coagulated qiyou bombs he carried, and at this time, the naval battle at the mouth of the Elbe was also coming to an end. After paying the price of one more French battleship and two British battleships, the British and French fleets also sank three German battleships, and now only three German battleships are left that are still fighting on the sea.

On the half-sunken Deutschland, the wounded Prince Heinrich had come to his senses after being bandaged, and as soon as he woke up, he received the news from the Navy General Staff that Vice Admiral Hall had led the airship force to sink more than half of the British landing ships and at least one British division to be killed in the fire, and there was an order to retreat.

"Retreat? Is there still room for retreat now? Dispatch a message to all the remaining battleships that were still fighting, and immediately sail to the perimeter of Cuxhaven to run aground as a fixed battery, while the destroyers and torpedo boats withdrew to Kiel. Prince Heinrich looked at the telegram and ordered without hesitation.

After receiving his order, the remaining three German battleships and two heavy cruisers on the sea, all covered in batter, and four light cruisers immediately sailed to Cuxport, and under the fire of the British cruisers around the port, they ran aground on the outer shoals to provide fire support to the shore defense forces. In addition, a small number of destroyers and torpedo boats took advantage of their small size to pass through the shipwreck blockade area in the shipping lane, and then turned into the Kiel Canal and sailed to the port of Kiel, and they and the first squadron led by Vice Admiral Holzendorf, who was rushing to reinforce at full speed, was the second largest naval fleet in the world, the last force of the German Imperial High Seas Fleet, and Germany completely lost its defense in the North Sea direction.

And the strength of the five battleships also made William's ambition completely come to naught, and now even the naval strength of Emperor Joseph is stronger than him, of course, he is not the worst, the worst is France, the French navy with only one battleship of France left, and now even Greece is inferior.

As for the Hippel fleet on the outskirts of the Helgoland Bay, after sinking six British troop carriers and one light cruiser and six destroyers, the remaining two light cruisers and eight destroyers of this small fleet sailed north around Jutland to neutral Sweden, where they remained in Gothenburg until the end of the war.

"Your Highness, what should we do?" Looking at the remaining battleships heading for Cuxhaven, Schell asked Prince Heinrich that they were now trapped in the command tower of the Deutschland, and that at least half of the battleship was still exposed to the sea, and in fact it was not uncommon for them to have a large number of sailors waiting to be rescued on each of these half-sunken battleships, including Germans, British, and French, and these boring sailors were there to watch the end of the naval battle.

Of course, the British will definitely be rescued, and what they get will certainly not be rescued.

"We? I don't think my dear uncle will refuse us to be a guest. Prince Heinrich said with a relaxed smile.

His dear uncle was about to vomit blood at this time, although the Royal Navy finally won the battle, but it lost a full eleven capital ships, and it can almost be said that the overall strength was directly cut in half, as for the loss of the landing force was even more terrifying, before landing on German soil, more than 30,000 British Army soldiers had died in the sea. Almost 20,000 people were burned and drowned on the landing ships alone, and in the subsequent Freedom Attack, Vice Admiral Hall's airship force destroyed two more landing ships, and now only fourteen landing ships were left for the British to use to seize the beach. This meant that even if the High Seas Fleet was cleared, the British would not be able to raid Hamburg and Bremen in a short period of time after the landing, and the subsequent landing operation would not be easy, because many German warships used as fixed batteries were stranded around Cuxhaven.

Of course, this war has been fought until now, and it is definitely not possible to give up halfway, and it must continue to be fought hard, not to mention that the German army that has been reinforced so far is still halfway, and at this time, including the Eastern Front, France, and Italy, the Allied armies on the three battlefields have launched a diversion attack. In particular, the bravery of the North American military in Italy surprised the spectators who unanimously disdained them, and although their casualties were also heavy, the will to fight was enough to wash away the humiliating marks of this army.

In this case, it is impossible for the Germans to draw enough reinforcements, while the British army still has 200,000 people on standby at home, and in addition, after the American army is put into the French battlefield, more group armies can be drawn from there, and of course, the most important thing is that the first batch of Chinese army has been assembled in Cam Ranh Bay, and in the eyes of Britain and France, this oriental dragon will immediately be thrown into the European battlefield, and use their terrifying power to completely defeat the Allies back to their original shape.

In this way, with infinite hopes and expectations for victory, after completely defeating the High Seas Fleet, despite the heavy losses of the landing fleet, the British launched an attack on Cuxhaven according to the original plan.

There is no suspense in the next landing battle, there are only less than 10,000 patchwork German troops in this small port, and even a large part of them are urgently requisitioned reserves, all to this point, it is needless to say what kind of goods the German reserves are, although there are stranded battleships to provide support, they cannot block more than 10,000 British elites, not to mention the artillery suppression of the British fleet, so the British army finally seized Cuxport before dark before the German reinforcements arrived.

However, it was impossible for the British to raid Hamburg and Bremen as originally planned, because at the same time, two elite German divisions by train from the Netherlands arrived in these two cities respectively, and it was no different from suicide to take a few thousand soldiers in a car, so that the British had to consolidate their defenses at Cuxhaven while beginning to unload infantry and equipment from troop carriers, turning the original raid into a regular tactic of steady progress, while continuing to mobilize army reinforcements from the country.
