"Long live the head of state! It is reported that the first batch of planes responsible for investigation and patrol have been sent to the peripheral destroyers, and it is reported that no suspicious targets have been found in the nearby waters. "An officer Gunther Lutjens saluted at attention behind him and reported to him that" the Imperial alert helicopter is taking off and the Zeppelin alert helicopter is ready to take off. "
"Order the whole fleet to stay alert. This route will encounter the enemy aircraft taking off from Greenland. Be careful not to enter the radius of land-based aircraft." Gunther Lutjens let go of the telescope and ordered the officer behind him. "Any news about the attack on the sub-fleet?"
The officer looked at the record and said, "There is no news except sending the report on time. They are keeping silent. According to their fixed route in advance, they may collide with and patrol the British naval sub-fleet."
Gunther Lutjens organized and commanded the largest aircraft carrier formation, that is, four ships, and now Germany has one more battleship. Obviously, it is not suitable to hand over the entire fleet to Gunther Lutjens. The USS Solbitz and the battleship Lei Deer Admiral of the fleet formed the first sub-fleet, and a guerrilla fleet more than 100 nautical miles away attacked the American transportation line.
The commander of this sub-fleet is vice admiral Lin Deman, a 45-year-old middle-aged general. Like Gunther Lutjens, he was born in the naval gunboat school, and his future was also promoted with Gunther Lutjens’s promotion. He was promoted to vice admiral because of his outstanding performance in the English Channel War.
He used to be a gunboat commander, but now he has been transformed into an aircraft carrier commander with Gunther Lutjens. It is precisely because he was first a gunboat commander and was once an aircraft carrier commander that he was ordered to be the commander of the fleet to command the German attack fleet.
This time, the plan of the Third Reich Navy is to attack and disrupt the American transport ships by attacking the fleet, induce the British main fleet to come to support, and then attract the other side to get out of the cover of land-based aviation troops and ambush the three aircraft carriers in the open sea to form the main fleet to annihilate the opponents, so as to achieve the goal of hitting the British hard.
It can be seen that the German tactics are almost exactly the same as those drawn up by Shan Fifty-six, but the German decisive battle is an aircraft carrier fleet or a battleship fleet.
"Command the modified fw19 fighter to hang torpedoes, Stuka dive bombers to hang bomb hangars and stand by." Gunther Lutjens is different from the mountains, and the German navy has never undertaken the battle to seize the islands. To put it bluntly, the German navy is still a sea guerrilla, but the guerrilla scale is a bit large.
It is not necessary to bear the attack, but simply responsible for destroying and destroying the enemy’s effective forces. This is the purpose of German naval warfare, which is almost the purpose of all military operations in Germany today. The same is true for the army and the navy. It is simply to destroy the opponent’s effective forces. Whether defending or attacking is not a means to an end.
Happier than the Japanese navy is that it is equipped with an air-cooled engine. The performance of the fw19 fighter is better than that of the Japanese fighter. After continuous improvement, this fighter is a full kilometer faster than the Japanese fighter, and the battle damage of German pilots is much smaller than that of Japan. These advantages make the German Atlantic firmly under control. Except for Iceland, which caused some troubles due to the British secret weapons being put into battle, the German navy sailed into the Atlantic.
On the quality of pilots, how much stronger are German pilots than Japanese pilots? Gunther Lutjens probably includes Gunter? Lal, the German pilots’ trump cards are so many that they can’t be counted. How powerful are these pilots? Almost with less than three planes, the entire Polish army can be wiped out.
It is reasonable to say that such a powerful German naval fleet should have trapped Iceland in its infancy, but the geographical location of Iceland at two ends really makes the German fleet feel a bit like a dog with a hedgehog. From the mouth, it feels that the transport ship from Canada has to detour to the north for some distance and can always drive to the Greenland field airport for shelter, which makes the German naval fleet have no good way.
Similar to today, there have been many battles in which the German navy harassed the transportation supply line. Every time, the Germans took a small advantage, but they failed to achieve the strategic effect. After all, the fleet needed a lot of oil to sail, and it also made the German navy lose its ambition to fight it out again and again.
After all, the Eastern Front Corps needs a lot of oil, and the naval surface ships have not appeared in the North Atlantic for two months. This is Gunther Lutjens Nai and a mainland country like Germany.
"Wait" After reaching the standby order, Gunther Lutjens looked at the distant sea again. He didn’t know whether the Royal Navy would appear as he wished this time, and he didn’t know how many prey he could find when he went hunting at sea this time. He could do it now and wait patiently.
Chapter 74 75 Navy
Waiting for the result does not necessarily bring equal returns. The guerrilla fleet warships intercepted three merchant ships and captured each other, and finally they were able to return home, because their fleet had entered the edge of the radius of the enemy’s power activities, and a patrolling British plane could already be seen on the horizon, so they were so lucky to watch him escape.
"Send a telegram to the nearby submarine forces to inform them of the location of these transport ships." After reading the same report, an officer ordered the soldiers in the newspaper room to "minimum security code" and the crew on duty nodded to send this report.
In fact, the hunting effect of the German fleet is really not as great as that of the submarine force. After all, although the cruising radius of the fleet is larger and the attack range of the ship and aircraft is wider, it has not been very obvious to be restricted by the British and American land-based airmen.
The Royal Navy has never deployed the ball on a large scale, and the British fleet is slowly closing down. For example, two-thirds of the fleet retreating to the Indian Ocean is going around the South Atlantic bit by bit in an attempt to join the main British fleet of Canada and Iceland.
During this period, the navies of different countries were different. The German navy’s aircraft carrier fleet had a certain rudiment of modernization. For example, there were many aircraft carrier equipment, including defense, time, war, command radar, search radar and other equipment, and escort ships were more professional enough to cope with British naval forces.
What is even more frightening is that the German navy has been equipped with a new type of ship night combat attack function, which can take off at night and intercept opponents’ planes, and can also carry out simple night attacks and carry ammunition to attack warships.
It can be said that if this fleet had appeared in the English Channel at that time, the British fleet would have lost even worse, and it was very likely that it would have been wiped out by the German aircraft carrier fleet at night. It was impossible to hunt down all the way and almost ate the German fleet.
Gunther Lutjens once again received the investigation report handed over by the adjutant. It has been confirmed that there was no large-scale sea transport fleet. Obviously, this time, the German navy they nest failed to achieve the effect, and tens of millions of tons of oil were wasted again.
"If the British and Americans were not stupid, their intelligence system would have been able to detect the activities of our fleet by relying on this kind of night method." Gunther Lutjens said with some chagrin that "nothing that the fleet raided in this respect could catch up with the convenience of submarines."
The two German fleets are counted as supply ships, and there are almost five large and small ships. The fleet may be blind from the port, so it is impossible to detect the British and American spies. It is easy to know when the German fleet is leaving by hiding a telescope on the nearby beach.
A more stupid way is to arrange a few submarines outside the port to wait for the enemy to sink. It is already worth the money to report the news that the German fleet has left Hong Kong. If Germany does not send a small fleet to they nest, it will be no different from sending food to the old naval power. Maybe stealing chickens and wasting rice will really outweigh the gains.
"Now that the decoy guerrilla fleet has emerged from the combat zone, we have nothing to wait for. Keep the fleet alert in the dangerous direction and return." Gunther Lutjens Nai moved from his command position to the door. "I’ll go to the deck to see if you continue to carry out orders according to regulations."
War, especially naval battle, is not a thrilling fight every time you set sail. Not every time you kill the enemy in a fierce manner, you will definitely be able to wait for a decisive battle-more often, you will wait patiently for the vast sea to look for it.
In fact, Dudley Pound, the commander of the British navy, is under a lot of pressure. Many naval generals ask him to carry out the United Kingdom’s strategy of fighting against the enemy. They think that the German navy should fight a decisive battle in the sea to end this long and costly battle for sea traffic lines.
However, Dudley Pound is more willing to wait for an opportunity that is more favorable to the Royal Navy. The United States has helped Britain to build three modified light aircraft carriers, which are almost completed. Once these three aircraft carriers are in service and the Royal Navy has survived many times, the British ship Royal Ark will once again overwhelm the German Navy in quantity and quality, and it will be more confident to fight a decisive battle at that time.
It seems to him that if the British navy is impatient and rushes to the German navy to engage in war, it may once again be taken advantage of by the German naval airmen, and the British royal family Iceland will be isolated and aided, which will also greatly delay the British counterattack on the soil.
So the British navy veteran pressed all the plans for the decisive battle of the dispatched fleet, and honestly waited for the US Navy to prepare three light aircraft carriers for Britain, so after a little training, the British fleet dared to press the German navy back to the port again, because compared with the number of battleships and the number of warships, Germany is still an absolute disadvantage.
Gunther Lutjens Nai took the steel stairs and listened to his feet clanging. This was the only chance for his fleet to sail in a month. As a result, he still didn’t get any decent results, which made him a little depressed. After all, the whole plan was his failure, and it should be his responsibility.
The whole fleet has a small amount of oil in the port of Liverpool, a part of the Netherlands and most of the port of Wilhelm, Germany. However, these oils are for the future naval action strategy, and it is impossible for Gunther Lutjens to replenish them. The oil has been compressed to a quite low level because the German armored forces on the eastern front are attacking the Caucasus.
After all, Germany is a mainland country, even though it narrowly defeated the most powerful maritime country in the world at the beginning of the war, it is still a mainland country. The established national policy of the whole Third Reich is based on land victory, which determines that the results of the theory are as brilliant as the navy can foil. Even in arcado’s heart, the German navy is the first line of defense of the Atlantic barrier, not the lifeline of the country.
Germany’s invasion of Gibraltar into the Suez Canal has turned the important Mediterranean into an axis country lake, in order to consolidate the road resources. The ultimate goal is to say that the idea of expecting the German navy to compete for the world’s oceans will be considered after arcado’s victory. He will never delay the expansion plan of the army by developing the navy.
Gunther Lutjens’s naval fleet once again turned into a naval limited voyage after its glory. The purpose of actual combat training is not to achieve any decent results. arcado also knows that the strength of the German navy wants to engage in wind and rain on the east coast of the United States. It is a bit crazy to sneak a sneak attack once or twice. Once it is blocked by American land-based aviation soldiers, Germany will lose a large number of pilots like the Japanese navy.
And Gunther Lutjens himself knows that the Fuehrer’s demand for the naval carrier fleet is very simple. Don’t make big mistakes, ensure the steady expansion of strength, and don’t make trouble. To put it bluntly, just stay honestly and watch Germany’s western ass when the Germans fight the Eastern Front.
"At the end of the day, it is still economical for Deng Nici submarine fleet." Gunther Lutjens’s own flagship deck of aircraft carrier looked at the ground crew carefully wiping and maintaining the precious fighter. Some sour sighs said that it is the mission of the aircraft carrier to secretly give a knife. Let’s leave it to the submarine force to do it.
The German aircraft carrier commander looked up at a slightly gray day and then closed his eyes in the cold wind. The sea breeze blew his face when he first walked on a warship, which made him unforgettable today.
There are two brand-new aircraft carriers under construction in the German dock, and hundreds of aviation cadets are practicing their skills every day in the naval base. The German navy is now a navy, but it will definitely become an important force in the world navy in the future.
Thought of this, Gunther Lutjens smiled. He did what his parents could not do, and led the German fleet to defeat the Royal Navy. Leave the rest to a generation to finish. He failed to fulfill his dream of letting the German navy dominate the world.
The bridge is responsible for commanding the adjutant of the fleet to reach one order after another: "The fleet turns to the left rudder and sails due east … release the second batch of patrol aircraft … the navigation command confirms the position of the first batch of reconnaissance aircraft … break the line silence … send the contact signal of the guerrilla fleet!"
The huge fleet once again adjusted its course, and the sea was cut by sharp ships. Everything was as usual, and the German fleet returned safely. The Atlantic barrier was still rock-solid. This fleet was like a sharp sword hanging over the hearts of all enemies.
"When the Caucasus oil fields, the Middle East oil fields are all controlled by the Third Reich, the German fleet will have no end to the sea exhibition and really fight." Gunther Lutjens sighed, "I wish I could see the day when the navy of the Third Reich dominates all oceans."
Chapter 75 76 Monster
A low appearance and volume seems to be similar to that of a tiger tank. A new German tank is crossing the barbed wire fence that blocks the German advance. The wide crawler easily crushed the fixed barbed wire stake. A Soviet Union issued an anti-tank gun to the front for emergency response to German tanks. This tank armor plate left a shallow mark.
"quick! Get the 45 mm anti-tank guns ready over there! Enemy tanks are approaching! It has broken through the first frontal trench! " A Soviet front-line commander put a telescope in his hand and ordered the signalmen around him
Not far from the left of this command position, a 45 mm caliber anti-tank gun in a hidden bush has pointed its barrel at the unscrupulous German tank. It is now waiting patiently for the tank to enter the dangerous trap bit by bit.
And that new German tank, the battlefield of the Soviet Red Army, rushed around like a steel monster. In the trench, Soviet soldiers were beaten to pieces by this tank’s heading machine gun, and the Soviet soldiers jumped out of the trench. The tank was also covered, and the German infantry was beaten into a sieve shell, which fell to the side of this tank. It was like a mobile fortress, solid and desperate.
