Chapter 14: Submarine Raid

After a while, sure enough, a large group of British fighters came to the sky above the location of the former Prinz Eugen. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

A large group of fighters circled around the position given by the reconnaissance plane before, but no trace of the battleship was found!

"Report to the commander of the fleet, here is the first strike detachment, we did not find enemy ships, repeat, we did not find enemy ships!"

At this time, Campbell, the commander of the fleet on the British aircraft carrier, who received the telegram, was intensively analyzing the situation with the staff committee.

"The first wave of strike detachments did not find the German battleships, what do you think, Duncan," Fleet Commander Campbell thought to Chief of Staff Duncan.

"Commander, according to the reconnaissance and intelligence analysis of the previous patrol aircraft, the other party must be in this sea area. Combined with the previous intelligence, we guessed that the opponent's warship had an ultra-high speed, and our staff unanimously believed that the opponent may have left this sea area with its high speed! But according to the time, the other party definitely didn't run too far! It's just that the direction in which the first strike detachment goes may be contrary to the other side! ”

"You have a point! If this is the case, it may be difficult for us to find traces of enemy ships! You must know that according to the predictions of the intelligence services in the past few days, it may have been rainy and rainy, and the vision of our aircraft will be affected! And our main task is to ensure that the retreat from Dunkirk can go smoothly! It is impossible to spend time tracking down the German battleship that has disappeared forever! Commander Campbell said.

"Your Excellency, the staff committee has already considered the situation you mentioned, and our opinion is to ensure the retreat as the main purpose, as for the German battleship wanting to hide, we don't care at all! As long as the Germans don't want us to retreat smoothly, it will definitely come out on its own, and we just need to catch the turtle in the urn and wait for this cunning German battleship to take the bait," Duncan said sinisterly.

"We only need to have destroyers in the police station, take the aircraft carrier as the center to maintain reconnaissance alert, and then send a large number of patrol aircraft to patrol and reconnoitre 24 hours a day. That German battleship will definitely jump out and fight us head-on! What we have to do is not to divide our forces and force the other side to face us head-on! We must maintain the superiority of our forces, and we must not divide our forces, so as not to be broken by each other! ”

"Based on our analysis of Zhang Fan, he will definitely not leave easily, he must be waiting for us to divide our troops now, and then break them down! As long as we maintain the superiority of our troops, the worst case scenario is that Zhang Fan will not dare to appear, but our mission can still be completed! ”

"Yes, the analysis is very thorough, and I agree with your plan. You must have made a plan, just follow your plan! "Commander Campbell ordered!

"Yes! Your Excellency, Commander! Stay tuned for what we do next! ”

After finalizing the plan, the British detachment immediately recalled the strike detachment and sent more patrol aircraft to start a large-scale reconnaissance!

At this time, the Anglo-French forces in Dunkirk received the news that the friendly warship was approaching, and they were immediately extremely excited! The once-interrupted retreat is back in action!

"Oh! That damn German battleship is gone! ”

"It's our British fleet, and voila! That's the aircraft carrier Radiance! This time, it's finally the Germans' turn to be unlucky! ”

"Yes! It's not good to be harassed by the Germans' planes, let's teach them a good lesson! ”

At this time, the soldiers of the British and French forces saw their aircraft carrier fleet appear on the sea, and their morale was greatly boosted! The British soldiers were confident in the Royal Fleet of the British Empire! Whoever wants to go a hundred years will be the only overlord of the seas in the Royal Fleet of Great Britain! Although Britain is now weakened, the vast majority of British people are still immersed in the dream of an empire on which the sun never sets!

Slowly, the whole fleet came to the sea where the Prinz Eugen was before! Suddenly, the sonar of a British destroyer spotted a huge echo!

"Sonarman! What's going on! The captain, who saw the sonar crew deaf to the ears of the loud sonar echo, asked.

"Captain! There's something up front, big, very big! "The sonar guy is already a little incoherent

"Bastard! Tell me clearly, what the hell is it! Did you find the submarine?"

"Nope! It's not a submarine, a submarine won't be so big! That's a behemoth, much more than a submarine! The sonar officer replied.

"Damn! Sound the alarm! Immediately notify the fleet commander of the discovery of an unidentified giant object under the water ahead! The ship will start fighting immediately! ”

At this time, Zhang Fan, who was observing with a periscope, discovered the anomaly of the British destroyer in front of him, and immediately guessed that he had been discovered!

"Sure enough, the battleship is too large to be underwater at sea! It is simply impossible to escape sonar detection! But even so, it still avoided the first wave of blows from carrier-based aircraft! ”

"Sound the alarm! Urgent ascent! Direct raid on the British fleet, we can't wait any longer! Zhang Fan ordered

"Woo! Woo! "The shrill siren sounded throughout the ship! The Prinz Eugen, which had been almost stationary, suddenly activated its propellers, and with tremendous power, the entire battleship began to rush towards the surface of the water at high speed!

The Prinz Eugen, which had already accelerated, caused a huge movement under the water! At this point, even a fool knows that there's a big guy hiding under the water!

"This is impossible, could it be that the German battleships have been hiding under the water all this time! This is a battleship and not a submarine! Fleet Commander Campbell said angrily!

"All the destroyers are on top and give me a torpedo hit! I want this German battleship to stay at the bottom of the sea forever! ”

At the urging of the fleet commander, a large number of destroyers frantically gathered towards the underwater shadows! The destroyers in the front row have even begun to fire torpedoes!

"Maximum speed! Prepare for hard resistance to torpedo attacks! All ready to resist the impact! As soon as Zhang Fan finished speaking, a huge shock almost threw him out of the captain's seat!

"We've been shot!" Vice-Captain Mark yelled loudly!

"Leave it alone! Burn the wind! As soon as Zhang Fan finished speaking, another huge shock hit!

"Captain! The ship has already hit 2 torpedoes! The hull is 15% damaged, the armor is 30% damaged, and the power is slightly reduced! Self-healing has begun, and it is estimated that it will take 6 hours and 18 minutes to complete the repair! "Zero said!

"Say! Zero! What I need at this time is time to break through the water! I can't take care of such a thing as a broken hull! ”

Zero was silent for a moment and said, "There are still 30 seconds to break through the water!" ”

“10”

“9”

。。。。

“1”

"0" breaks through the water!

A huge column of water suddenly rose above the sea level! The Prinz Eugen burst out of the water at an elevation angle of up to 60 degrees, and then pressed the water! There are shocking waves!

"Order all artillery fire! Target the opposing aircraft carrier! Charge with all your might! Zhang Fan ordered loudly

"Alright, boys, have you all heard the captain's orders? There are enemy ships all around, so you don't need to save me ammunition, let me beat them hard! Vice-Captain Mark roared hoarsely!
