ACT552: Pick up the leak
Mistaking the Prestige for a Nelson-class battleship, the Scharnhorst sisters were suddenly frightened and had no fighting spirit. Although the hull of the two ships is less than five years old, Germany was still under international sanctions when it was designed and built, and the two ships were subject to many restrictions.
In order to confuse the outside world, the Germans only installed triple 11-inch guns on the two ships, not to mention the current caliber, even in the First World War period. To use such weak firepower to attack a large battleship with heavy armor and strong guns head-on is tantamount to asking for your own death!
So the Scharnhorst sisters, who knew that they were invincible, had the idea of retreating, and at this moment, another warship was teleported in the Stargate projection area not far away. This time, it was the lookout of the Gneisenau who was the first to notice it, and when the other party saw the figure of the comer, he immediately gasped.
"Nelson, and Nelson again! And it's two! ”
Under the stunned gaze of the German warship and the sailors, two huge ships with wide bodies appeared one after another in the delivery area less than 200 kilometers away from them, and then pounced on them with murderous vigour. The opponent's iconic main gun layout made the German lookout recognize their identities at a glance.
For the British troops in the fierce battle, the appearance of the Nelson and the Rodney surprised them a lot, but it also brought a real morale boost. The Prestige was immediately killed from the shadows, and the Scharnhorst sisters, who still did not recognize each other, only ran into the "Super Nelson" who could soar to the 29th Cosmic Festival, and fled without caring about joining the Bismarck.
The retreat of the two of them immediately reversed the situation on the battlefield, and the Bismarck, which was beating the Prince of Wales, was also lubricated under the reminder of the commander Lütjans and prepared to slip away. The Prince of Wales, who had been beaten by Bismarck, saw that the other party wanted to run, and hurriedly shouted on the radio channel to the reinforcements that arrived as he arrived.
"Don't let go of the Nazi shipman, beat her to death!"
Hood's death made the British army not want to let go of the murderer so lightly, but the Bismarck was a high-speed battleship after all, which was not only in terms of speed, but also in terms of acceleration rate. Nelson and Rodney were not scared of each other. But if the pursuit was changed, they would really have no way to take the cricket Bismarck.
Fortunately, the timely arrival of the two ships was regarded as relieving the siege of the expeditionary fleet in crisis, and soon more than a dozen British warships arrived from other delivery areas. Admiral Cunningham, the commander of the British forces who commanded the feint fleet, after successfully suppressing the seemingly distracted Nazi Combined Fleet, personally led 15 warships to prepare to catch up and escort for another section because he was worried about the expeditionary fleet that would pass through the Earth region.
It was this improvised plan that saved the precarious expeditionary fleet, and God even opened his eyes to the Nelson and Rodney to be teleported to the nearest portal to the area of engagement.
But their arrival was not timely, and when Admiral Cunningham learned that the Hood had been sunk and that the commander, Vice Admiral Holland, had also been killed in battle, the other side had a moment. It was true that he had the idea of abandoning the expedition, but this idea was immediately dispelled by himself.
If the plan was cancelled like this, Cunningham could indeed return to Britain safely with the remaining three warships, but in that case, their laborious breakthrough operation would be tantamount to failure, and the sacrifices of Vice Admiral Holland and thousands of sailors would be in vain.
Cunningham examined the three remaining ships of the expeditionary force, and the Prestige and Counterattack were unscathed, while the Prince of Wales was shot in several places, and the quadruple turret in the front suffered an embarrassing mechanical failure in the crossfire. But luckily, the powertrain is fine.
The condition of the three warships gave him some confidence in the feasibility of the operation.
So under Cunningham's command, the aircraft carrier Tejas was replenished to the expeditionary fleet, and Rear Admiral Liszt was replaced by the dead Vice Admiral Holland. Become the new commander of the fleet.
Guarded by friendly forces, the reorganized expeditionary fleet quickly passed through the Stargate, and then Admiral Cunningham led the remaining 14 British warships to kill in orbit in the direction of the moon. This past year. They had been holding back for a long time, so taking advantage of the rare opportunity, Cunningham planned to go to New Berlin to vent.
After several waves of people left. Only the wreckage of the Hood was still floating around the earth on the battlefield, when a distorted spatial fluctuation suddenly appeared in the dark starry sky, and a submarine cautiously emerged from the subdimensional space. I am afraid that no one on the British and German sides who were at war before would have imagined that there would be a third-party force in this narrow encounter.
This reconnaissance submarine with a board number of 12 is none other than the "My Neighbor Totoro" of the Star Castle fleet!
They were ordered to go to Mercury to pick up Charles de Gaulle and the officers of the Free France to the Star Castle, where they had already collected the Divine Core needed to rebuild the fleet and were preparing to receive the hull that Zhao had promised.
As a reconnaissance submarine with a displacement of more than 1,000s, the My Neighbor Totoro is also unable to make continuous jumps like ordinary small ships. Seeing that the return trip had already arrived at this station on Earth, I never thought that I would encounter the opening of the main fleet of the British and German armies during the break.
Fortunately, the Totoro sneaked in just in time to escape the catastrophe.
After the My Neighbor Totoro surfaced, Dilry, who led the team, looked around with a periscope and saw that there were no other ships around, so he made an "OK" gesture to De Gaulle on the side, and the French officers in the boat immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's really a suspense, but it's good that Colonel Di reacted quickly."
"Thank her! Thanks to this little guy Spirit. ”
DOTINGLY TOUCHED THE HEAD OF A SHORT-HAIRED LITTLE LOLI BESIDE HIM, AND THE GROUP ON THE CHINCHILLA WAS ABLE TO STAY SAFE AND SOUND, ALL THANKS TO THE TIMELY DIVING OF THIS LITTLE SHIP GIRL. At this time, two special operators who had already put on spacewalk suits came to Diry, and de Gaulle asked in confusion.
"Colonel Di, what are they doing here?"
"It's nothing, I'll let them go out and have a look."
"To the wrecked Hood? OMG! It's space, and the explosion happened so suddenly, there could be no survivors on board. ”
"People can't live, but nuclear can't be broken, right? If we let the Admiral know that we missed such a good opportunity, he will have to train us to death when he returns. ”
"But how long will it take?"
"It didn't take long, we brought scanners and cutters, and 15 minutes was enough."
Armed with the equipment they needed, the two special operators flew out of the cabin to the wreckage of the Hood, followed the huge wound into it, and found what they were looking for in a short time. (To be continued......)
