Chapter 3 The German Navy in World War II could not have been so fierce!

As the fleets of both sides got closer and closer, the capital ships of both sides aimed at each other. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Fire! Fire! "At the same time as the commanders of the fleets of both sides, the German fleet and the British and French fleets were officially on the bar.

"Boom!" Amid the deafening roar of countless cannons, the fleets of both sides were desperately firing more shells at each other. I saw countless columns of water rising into the sky, and in addition to the earth-shattering cannon sound, the hoarse roar of the sailors was in my ears. The huge hull of the ship shook violently on the sea, like a flat boat being played with by the huge waves at will.

"It's spectacular! However, I have the impression that the Anglo-German naval battle of Norway was not on such a large scale at all! β€œ

Germany only built two battleships and 3 pocket battleships in World War II, but now Zhang Fan actually found 3 battleships and 5 pocket battleships, and the heavy cruisers are as high as 10, almost double the strength of the German Navy in the original history!

"It seems that this World War II I traveled through is not the World War II in my previous life, it may be a parallel world, and the previous history can only be used for reference!" Zhang Fan thought.

"Boom!" Another violent vibration came, and Zhang Fan couldn't help but clench the handrail and shouted: "Left full rudder!" Don't get too far ahead! ”

"Damn, the Z-destroyer is so fragile that it can't withstand a random shell from the capital ship! Even if you wipe the edges, you may hang up! Zhang Fan couldn't help wiping his cold sweat, the near-miss bomb just now was too close to his battleship, and if he was not careful, the huge water pressure transmitted over would break open the deck of the cabin and cause a serious water stall! You must know that the only advantage of a destroyer is speed, and without speed, a destroyer is a target, and it is a paper target that can be broken with a single stab.

Four hours have passed since the magnificent sea battle, and Zhang Fan has changed from initial excitement to insensitivity. It can't be helped, anyone can get irritated after listening to the roar of shells for 4 hours, and his destroyer has been responsible for protecting the capital ship, dodging those crooked shells casually. That's right, it's crooked! Everyone is aiming at the capital ship, who will pay attention to their little destroyer!

Different from the original history, the German capital ships in the Norwegian naval battle were simply driven away by the British and French forces, but now the two sides are fighting back and forth! The German side had already lost 1 battleship, 1 heavy cruiser, 5 light cruisers, and about 10 destroyers, while the losses of the Anglo-French forces were even greater than those of the Germans, with 2 battleships alone, excluding light battleships. But the British didn't have much else, but they had more ships, and they fought for attrition, and the Germans were lost. Up to now, the Germans have gained the upper hand with enthusiasm and well-trained personnel, and now that the personnel are exhausted, the difference in the number of fleets is very obvious.

"Captain, the flagship has sent an order, asking all destroyers to assemble in a stormtroop formation to attack the British formation, and the capital ships must regroup and leave this sea area!"

"What, what kind of **** order is this, the main force is going to evacuate, let's break the rear?" However, Zhang Fan also understands that when it comes to fighting at this point, the capital ship force has no combat effectiveness, and the results are also slightly superior. Now the commander of the German fleet needs to safely bring the main fleet out of the battlefield, and the destroyers who have been waiting for work are the last guerrilla forces, which can effectively delay the pursuit of the other side! But it's one thing to know, it's another to carry out this order! With the current destroyers of less than 20 ships, it is simply wishful thinking to block the Grand Fleet of the British and French forces with their mantis arms as a car! They're going to be crushed to slag!

"First mate! I want to give a lecture to all the officers and soldiers! ”

"Yes! Your Excellency, Captain! The order goes down, and the captain wants to give a lecture! ”

5 minutes later, all the 315 people on the ship were ready, and Zhang Fan also started his pre-war speech into the microphone at this time! There is no way, it will be a desperate charge, if anyone hesitates or is timid, the Z16 is to enter the land of no disaster. So Zhang Fan needs to give all the crew a preventive shot at this time!

"This is Captain Zhang Fan, all the crew should pay attention, this ship has received the order of the flagship, in order to ensure the safe retreat of the main fleet, this ship will launch a decisive charge, intending to disrupt and delay the fleet of the British and French forces! I know you may have objections! But this is a military order! It is also the work of our destroyer formations, we cannot inflict any damage on the enemy's main fleet, our value is guerrilla, reconnaissance, escort, harassment! Now is the time to play our part, but I still have to say to the whole crew, stay alive, desperately survive, we must rush into the formation of the enemy fleet as fast as possible, only in this way can we avoid the enemy's collective fire! I ask to throw away all baggage, everything is not needed except ammunition and fuel. What we need is speed, speed or speed! Speed is everything, speed is life! Glorious German sailors, get into action now! ”

After speaking, Zhang Fan put down the microphone, and at this time, all the people on the entire bridge spontaneously applauded.

"That's a great point, Captain!"

"Captain, let's beat the butts of the Anglo-French forces hard!"

Looking at everyone's angry looks, Zhang Fan knew that his goal had been achieved! It seems that the set of righteous and awe-inspiring speeches I learned when I was in school was very appetizing to the Germans, although I hated this kind of speech in my previous life!

"Pass my order, inform the other destroyers, and advise them to abandon all baggage, and launch a decisive charge in 10 minutes!" Zhang Fan said!

β€œyes! Sir! The correspondent replied

Soon, the other destroyers agreed with Zhang Fan's opinion and quickly abandoned all the baggage. The overall speed of the ship has increased a lot!

Soon, 10 minutes arrived. All the destroyer captains gave the order at the same time: "Charge to the death!" ”

At this time, the British and French forces also discovered the movement of the German capital ships. The commander of the fleet immediately ordered: "The whole fleet rushes forward, entangle the main German fleet, don't let them run!" ”

And just as the German fleet as a whole was turning, 20 destroyers suddenly made a 360-degree maneuver and rushed straight towards the British and French fleet!

"Humph! Trying to let the destroyer detachment hold us back is simply self-defeating! Inform the whole fleet, ignore these German destroyers, our target is the main German fleet. The whole fleet was ordered to speed up the pursuit. Just send these destroyers to God! β€œ

"Bang bang! Bang bang! "The 20 German destroyers were like entering a raging storm, and countless shells fell on them like a torrential rain! And these German destroyers are like dragons in the sea, rushing madly towards the British and French forces with an indomitable momentum! These destroyers know that this is a battle with no return, and all they need is to rush into the enemy formation, disrupt the enemy's formation and delay the enemy's time!

"Z1 was shot! Slowed down, no! "Just as the observer was looking at him in horror, a German destroyer was unfortunately shot, its speed was greatly reduced in an instant, and then it was immediately torn to pieces by the dense shells!

As the fleet of the Anglo-French forces got closer and closer, more and more German destroyers were sunk or shot and caught fire! There are already less than 10 destroyers within Zhang Fan's visual range! And Zhang Fan's own ship was also hit by a light cruiser's shell just now, but fortunately, the dodge rate was high and it didn't hit the engine, so the speed was not affected! There was only a small area of fire. And it has been extinguished by the desperate efforts of the crew just now!

Zhang Fan's face was extremely heavy at this time, after all, Z16 had been strengthened by zero and had increased its dodge rate by 50%, and even then it was shot. It is conceivable that other destroyers may be even worse than themselves! He was really worried that a few destroyers could rush into the enemy's formation! But now it's hard to ride a tiger, there is only one way to go to the dark, and even changing direction is impossible! As long as you change direction, from the bow of the ship facing the opponent to the hull of the ship exposed to the opponent's artillery fire, the increased cross-sectional area is simply a cannonball collector, and it will be overwhelmed by a large number of cannonballs in an instant!

"Tell the turbine crew to max up the power!"

"Captain, then the ship's wheel will be overloaded and shut down in 30 minutes!"

"According to the current situation, it only takes 10 minutes for us to feed the fish, and what kind of engine does it matter at this time! Increase the boiler pressure directly to the maximum! Zhang Fan roared!

The boiler burst out with amazing power, and with the 20% increase in speed, the Z16 actually ran an astonishing 50 knots! Fortunately, the hull armor has also been strengthened by 20%, otherwise the entire battleship would have disintegrated long ago! But even then, the keel of the entire battleship made an overwhelming twisting sound.

An astonishing speed of 50 knots is equivalent to 92 kilometers per hour. Even a car soaring at this speed is quite amazing, let alone a behemoth like a battleship that can easily reach thousands of tons!
