Alicia's reaction was quick, and with Anne's warning, the two fighters that had just dived a hundred meters re-pulled their noses.

The chestnut-haired ship lady has experienced a hundred battles, and she only knows at a glance that it is her old rival.

Alicia is very familiar with the performance of this aircraft, and it is much worse than the British's "Hornet" carrier-based aircraft. The performance is also much worse than that of the F4U Corsair. It's a pity that there are only three on his side, while the other side has at least one hundred and twenty!

"Climb the heights, report to the Admiral, and wait for backup!"

Alicia's command was precise and clear.

Xu Zhonglin was also taken aback when he received the information.

Unlike the British and American aircraft carrier fleets, Germany's aircraft carrier aircraft combination is more strange, their Zeppelin-class aircraft carrier standard carrier-based aircraft is 42, but the standard combination of each ship is 12 ME-109T responsible for air combat, and the remaining 30 are JU-87C.

The famous Screaming Grim Reaper, armored can opener – the Stuka Dive Bomber is definitely a classic. This guy is cheap, sturdy, precise, and ferocious. It is a multi-functional attack aircraft with good performance, capable of both dive bombing and torpedo, and occasionally making cameo appearances in air combat.

The German family used to find this thing, hello, hello, everyone, it is our loyal and reliable Shubao, which can bring you different care. Therefore, the aircraft carriers are equipped with a large number of such aircraft, and each aircraft carrier is equipped with two squadrons of thirty aircraft as standard. The number left for the poor ME-109T was only a few dozen.

However, this has brought about a hidden danger, that is, the air combat capability is insufficient.

Xu Zhonglin turned out some fragments from his memory, which was the impression of the original body when he was still studying in Liwona, when 'he' thought that the Germans were so stupid, they didn't want air supremacy, what was the use of pretending to be so many relatively bulky Stukas?

But when he came to this world, he found out after reading some war reports, especially actual battles. Although the heads of the Germans are square, they are not badly flexible, and they will also be flexible according to different tasks. When there are many air combat missions, the ME-109 will also be installed.

And there is a reason why the Germans are so well matched with the number of aircraft on a standard aircraft carrier. This has to do with the number of aircraft carriers and strategic thinking in their country. The main combat mission of the German aircraft carrier is not to go out to the sea alone to carry out the task of sea supremacy, but to cooperate with the big sisters of the battleship to act together and be responsible for striking in depth on land. Under such circumstances, the number of standard combat formations in 12+30 can undoubtedly maximize the firepower of the land attack, which is very much in line with the national conditions and military strategic needs.

People are smart.

Therefore, when he knew that there was a combat group of 120 carrier-based aircraft on the sea, he could not tell whether there were three aircraft carriers or ten aircraft carriers on the opposite side. The difference of this order of magnitude is so huge, three can still fight a dozen, if it is twelve, GG, the follow-up dive bombers are enough to kill.

However, one thing is certain, the other party discovered his fleet first, and it has been a short time, otherwise he would not have gathered a group of fighters to press over, but he didn't know it at all, this was a major mistake!

In this way, Sissi and Barcelisa are all in danger!

"Abandon the submarine, Anne to reconnoiter in the direction from which the enemy aircraft came, Alicia, Athena, Millet, Lame, assemble the fighters, line up the battle formation, and be ready at any time! All cruisers and destroyers immediately abandon their current tasks, move closer to the nearest coast, and do not hesitate to run aground and reclaim their hulls if they find a formation of enemy attack aircraft. ”

After learning of the situation, everyone in Scapa Harbor immediately became nervous, and everyone knew what such a large carrier-based aircraft fleet meant.

Cato angrily pulled the wind and discipline buckle away: "Grass! What are the British doing on the island of Westerray?! Why didn't you find such a large fleet! ”

Westerley Island, not far from the northeast of Meenland Island, is part of the Orkney Islands, which belong to the British, a small island with only one military port on it, and they were also attacked last night, blocking the passage by mines.

"They don't inform us, but we can't leave it alone. Margaret, inform the other side of the location and number of enemy aircraft. We need reinforcements. ”

The reply was quick: "Admiral, there is an Admiral of Acheson Bell over there, who is very grateful for our briefing, and who tells us not to dwell too much with the Germans, as long as they are not twelve nautical miles away, the Germans will not dare to attack us." Two detachments of the British Home Fleet had arrived last night, and their intended positions were on the north and south sides of the Orkney Islands. Their carrier-based aircraft had also spotted the Germans and warned them. The admiral also said that the Germans had dispatched more than 300 fighters this time, and it was supposed to be the Norwegian air defense formation. ”

Twelve nautical miles beyond the coastline is a territorial sea that is equally common in this world. This British admiral obviously has a lot more information than Xu Zhonglin and them, and there should be channels to communicate with the British mainland fleet in real time, which is the difference between his own son and charging the phone bill.

However, Xu Zhonglin's destroyer fleet is too fast, and it is currently out of the range of 12 nautical miles!

"the grass! These damn Brits! This is deliberate, why didn't such important intelligence inform us in a timely manner?! This damn Acheson Bell, and those British admirals! Lao Tzu remembers you! ”

Xu Zhonglin was a little angry, this kind of bronze-level teammate was simply the sixth person of the other party, if the British had told him this information earlier, why would he let Barcelisa and them run so far?

"You want revenge?" Cato looked a little complicated.

"Of course! These old British cowards don't take us as allies at all, they are so yin, can't Lao Tzu slap back? ”

"The spirit is commendable, but it is more difficult."

"Oh? Do you know that guy? ”

Cato nodded: "Yes, that guy is a viscount, less than ten years older than us, and has a little friendship with our family, and we met a few times when I was a child." When I was younger, he was what my mother called 'someone else's child', and now I should be better than all of us in this room combined. Remember the more sensational battleship Agamemnon a few years ago, right? This guy is the Admiral of Agamemnon. From what I know about him, he must have completely forgotten about us. ”

The prototype of the battleship Agamemnon, Xu Zhonglin had some impressions. This was originally the largest former dreadnought battleship, with a displacement of about 18,000 tons, only about the same as Prince Eugen.

But the Admiral was a tycoon, and the battleship went through three hull changes, the Queen Elizabeth-class battleship, the George V-class battleship, and finally became the pinnacle battleship with nine 406mm guns.

This incident was also featured in the Admiral's Magazine, causing a sensation. This ship's mother is also the envy of every ship's mother.

It's just that she didn't expect her admiral to be this Acheson Bell. According to Cato, this guy is only about thirty years old, and his ship's mother is about to break 100, a proper boss.

As soon as Cato said this, Xu Zhonglin also understood the mentality of this big guy, just like Xu Zhonglin would not inform the French junior brother Benjamin Bernard of anything, the difference in strength is too great, and he is too lazy to communicate, anyway, this kind of scum loves to die.

It's the same now, they're in the diamond group, they're in the silver group, and Scarpa Harbor was the safest, but last night it suffered the worst losses. This is regarded as a pig teammate.

If you can look down on others, you must be prepared to be looked down upon by others, Xu Zhonglin knows this very clearly, there is nothing to frustrate, and when the strength is equal, he will naturally gain respect, this is the truth he learned from this world.

It's just that how did this kind of big guy come to this place?
