Almost at the same time, the British expeditionary fleet and a main German detachment preparing to return home met unexpectedly on Earth, and the two sides were teleported to two adjacent delivery areas. The German fleet, which was preparing to return to the moon, flew impartially in front of the British troops, and inadvertently grabbed an excellent "T-advantage" position.

However, the commander of the British army, Lieutenant General Holland, did not intend to entangle the Germans too much here, and their mission was to go to the United States. Therefore, Holland ordered his four warships to face the enemy with the bow of the ship, preparing to follow the example of the famous general Nelson to force a breakthrough in a re-formation formation.

As long as they can catch the Germans off guard, they can jump into the forbidden war realm of the stargate teleportation area before the other party reacts, and they can jump to the territory of the Americans again. It's a pity that although Holland's idea is good, the Germans on the other side are not slow to react at all! The British were just preparing to charge, but before they could start, they were discovered by the Germans.

At this time, the British did not know that several German battleships less than a hundred kilometers in front of them were not ordinary small players. The other side was the same as the British army in terms of quantity, but only slightly inferior in quality, namely the battleship Bismarck, the battle cruisers Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, and the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen.

The four warships were ordered to return home from the front line for rotation maintenance, and to upgrade accordingly in response to the problems exposed in actual combat. The Bismarck and Prinz Eugen will be equipped with more anti-aircraft weapons, and the two battle cruisers will be replaced with twin 15-inch guns of the same type as the Bismarck-class while enhancing their anti-aircraft capabilities. The triple 11-inch naval guns they used before were too weak against the U.S. capital ships.

In addition, the aircraft carrier, which was previously regarded by the German Navy as a "side-door", can be said to have shone in this campaign against the United States. Not only did it make the Germans suffer, but it also changed their perceptions.

True! These warships, which relied on aircraft as their main means of attack, were unable to fight independently like battleships because of their own fragility. But in large-scale fleet battles, the role of these aircraft carriers began to come to the fore. Harassed by a large group of aircraft. The Germans can't shoot at all!

Therefore, according to the combat situation fed back from the front, the German Navy on the one hand accelerated the construction progress of Zeppelin-class aircraft carriers, and on the other hand, urgently upgraded the anti-aircraft firepower of front-line combat ships.

The firepower of the "37 Hand Puller" is of course rotten to a certain level, but fortunately, the Bismarck-class deck is large enough, and it is not a problem to stuff one hundred and eighty doors up at all!

However, the German warship girls who rushed home to upgrade did not expect that as soon as they passed the stargate, the radar found four sneaky figures. The German commander who led this fleet, Gonser. Admiral Lütjans immediately decided that the other side was friend or foe, and decisively ordered to prepare for the attack.

Because they had just retired from the front line, these German warships, whether they were ships or sailors, reacted very quickly. It took less than three minutes from the commander's order to the time he was ready, which of course had to do with the fact that most of the sailors never left their posts at all.

By this time the British had already begun to charge, and under the command of Holland, the Hood and the Prince of Wales, who were in the lead, were the first to open fire on the enemy ships. Holland hoped that Tongguò's move would deter enemy ships and throw them into a state of confusion due to a "surprise attack".

But the German shipwreck who had just come down from the battlefield was still calm and composed, and she didn't take these few cannons seriously at all. The combined front guns of Hood and the Prince of Wales were only 10 guns, and they fired two guns per minute, while the frontal battlefield of the American and German armies was full of tens of thousands of artillery fires per minute. That's what it rains about!

Therefore, these British guns not only did not have the deterrent effect that Holland hoped for, but exposed the position in advance, allowing the Germans to discover them with the help of gun fire.

"Commander, our first round of shelling did not hit the target."

"It doesn't matter. Just rush on! Hood, grasp the speed and distance, we will be safe as long as we enter the no-war zone! ”

On the bridge of the Hood, Holland stared intently at the enemy ship directly ahead. Observers have just reported that the formation of the enemy ships is still stable and showing signs of slowing down. This shows that their deterrent shelling has not had any effect, and the other side has begun to prepare to return fire.

At this time, the distance between the two sides had been shortened to less than 70 kilometers with the fearless charge of the Hood, and the stargate on the other side of the German fleet could already be seen with the naked eye. This distance is like the last shot of golf, because it is so close to the hole, you can't pump it with great force.

Can you hit something else, the forbidden war field of the Star Gate is so big, and a radius of several hundred kilometers sounds like a lot, but once the battleship is on the cruising speed, it can rush over if you are not careful. When the time comes, if they want to turn around and come back, they will inevitably have a lot of trouble.

At this time, it is necessary to test the driving ability of the "female drivers" of the British army, and Holland is very confident in Hood in this regard, and the prestige behind him is outstanding. With these two big names in front of the other and one behind the rhythm, the Prince of Wales and counterattacks who accompany them only need to keep pace with their teammates next to them.

Soon, the British fleet approached about 50 kilometers from the German ships, and Holland ordered a second round of shelling, which was joined this time by prestige and counterattacks. However, the ships still missed, and only the Prestige made a grazing round against the Gneisenau.

Standing on the mainmast, Prestige watched his bullets spread and narrowed his left eye, and the opponent, with his years of experience in gunnony, was confident that he could hit the target within three rounds of fire. It's a pity that Lieutenant General Holland's order was only a deterrent, which made the prestige somewhat regretful.

"I'll let you go today, German kid."

The second round of British artillery fire still missed, and the distance between them was already approaching less than 40 kilometers, and the two sides could only see their opponents clearly at this point.

As soon as Holland saw that there were four main German warships (he didn't recognize Prince Eugen), he immediately felt his head as big as a fight, and Lütjans was also startled by the British capital ships that appeared at the door, he had thought that there were several light ships that came to carry out infiltration and reconnaissance.

But it is precisely because of this that Lütjans deliberately let the ships wait for the enemy to get close before fighting, after all, the light ships have small targets and fast speeds, and it is difficult to guarantee hits at too far distances.

After the distance between the two sides approached to less than 30 kilometers, the German battleship finally opened fire! Thanks to the sideways position occupied by T, the four German ships could exert all the main gun firepower, and the bullet spread was more dense, and the Hood, which was at the head, did not dare to resist, and immediately pressed down the bow of the ship, wanting to make a trick of the not so decent "black dog drill crotch", and slipped directly under the German ship.

But just as she pressed down on the bow, a 15-inch shell hit the welded seam of her foredeck impartially. This weakness was originally to be filled in the latest armor upgrade, but in order to break through the operation, it had to be temporarily canceled, and unexpectedly became Hood's "Achilles heel".

The shell ran diagonally through the ammunition depots of turrets 1 and 2 along the gap in the armor. As a result, Hood, who was charging, suddenly lost his complexion, and his whole body suddenly trembled. As soon as the other party was about to open his mouth to warn the crew on the bridge to be careful, the front end of the hull of the Hood swelled rapidly...... (To be continued......)
