A line of tragic fish-belly white emerged from the end of the sea level, and the thick night seemed to be torn apart by an invisible giant hand, presenting light to the world!
For a moment, Admiral Lukins seemed to feel that his mind was broadening as the darkness receded. As long as a cruel night in winter, it seemed that it had passed, and a bright future was coming, a new one full of hope. The morning is coming towards him, as if everything will become beautiful, leaving all the unpleasantness behind!
But when he really looked back, he realized that it was all just an illusion that he was striving for subconsciously! Just behind him, behind the entire fleet, on the long route of more than a hundred nautical miles, there are at least twenty or thirty warships, either braving thick smoke, struggling in the cold wind and roaring waves, or capsized, and are slowly Slowly sinking, or may have already sunk into the abyss, with only slight oil stains, hastily lowered lifeboats, broken wooden boards, pale corpses floating in the waves, surviving officers and soldiers falling into the water, desperate wailings blown away by the wind
What a terrible night this is!
Lukins had never experienced such horror in his life. It was as if the God of Death was standing beside them, making a strange sneer silently, waving the sickle without mercy, and harvesting human lives. Little by little, they continue to destroy their nerves, which are not tough enough to begin with, and almost lead to the inner collapse of most people!
Not only him, but also the British and American officers such as Major General Mountbatten, who harbored dissident intentions, could not think of other ideas at this time. Whether they had experienced several wars or were seeing the Chinese methods for the first time, they were all shocked. It's numb and I can't let it go for a long time!
Such an enemy is truly unimaginable! If it lasts longer, I'm afraid the entire fleet will completely lose its fighting spirit! It is foreseeable that the subsequent battle will be more bloody and difficult!
He looked behind him worriedly. Mountbatten was also frightened. This was not simply a counterattack against the enemy. How many people in the world could truly face artillery fire without changing their expressions? That was a very difficult thing, and they did it, but it was by no means easy!
"It seemed that the arrival of daylight also affected the actions of the distant and unknown enemy. The steady and sparse shelling suddenly stopped for half an hour. This allowed tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in the German fleet to relieve their tense nerves.
When the fear slowly receded, Lukins couldn't help but clenched his fists, anger filled his forehead, and he secretly said fiercely: "Damn bastards, your arrogance can come to an end! Next, let's see the powerful power of the imperial warriors! Hum! .I don¡¯t believe you have been able to hide it all this time!¡±
In the long night, it is impossible to fight with only some slow-flying, headless reconnaissance aircraft, but during the day, the strength of the empire's huge fleet can be fully exerted, unless they will not be discovered. Want them to look good!
Forcing himself to retract his gaze, Lukins returned to the map table and stared at the newly updated data with bloodshot eyes. He found that the position of the left wing formation transmitted by the plane was stable and was still the farthest distance from his side. Five hundred nautical miles, but the ship on its right has been deployed according to the predetermined plan, sweeping across a width of more than 100 nautical miles, and extending the reconnaissance area to 200 nautical miles with a group of reconnaissance aircraft. It is guaranteed to form a strong arm across the sea. As long as the enemy appears, the strong body can be brought over at any time to outflank and strike!
Lukins couldn¡¯t help but nodded secretly. No matter what, the British¡¯s navigation and command abilities are worthy of praise. After all, they are a powerful maritime force that the powerful Germany has never been able to defeat. This is not nonsense.
Looking to the right again, he couldn't help but frown. The American-dominated partial division has the largest number of aircraft carriers, whether intentionally or unintentionally. It still hasn't gotten close enough to the necessary distance, so that more than a dozen planes carrying messages have not flown back, and they probably have crashed into the sea.
"Damn Americans! I want you to look good when the battle is over!"
Lukins knew that the Americans were not convinced at all. He believed that the failure of this war was not a crime of war. It was their unlucky encounter with the unprecedentedly powerful Chinese and their continuous defeats, which gave the Germans the opportunity to take advantage of them. Therefore, he spoke sincerely. If you don't accept it, you will make trouble during the battle. However, after the battle, they will no longer be able to control it. By then, the enemy's artillery shells will not be able to tell whether they are slacking off or not.
The reconnaissance planes that had gone out had not returned any useful information. After a night, the submarine forces distributed at the southern end of the Atlantic also lost their accurate tracking and reconnaissance capabilities. However, at least, thanks to the intelligence from Britain and the United States, they were able to Through the changes in a huge radio anomaly area, the position and distance of the enemy ship can be roughly judged.
The Chinese Navy has always liked to quietly destroy the electromagnetic environment around the battlefield before starting a war, causing the enemy to become??The half-blind man who cannot communicate and command smoothly goes back to the last century and the pre-dreadnought era when radio was unavailable. For the opponent, the command and combat capabilities required have been greatly improved.
But this strategy is not without its flaws. For one thing, the electromagnetic barrier launched by their ships must have a coverage area limit. As long as it is measured, its approximate position can be calculated. Secondly, just like today's changes, in the electromagnetic chaos in the entire area, the artificial shielding has different fluctuations and strengths. As long as you focus on detection, you can always find the anomalies.
The Germans relied on their genius research capabilities to specially build several electronic warfare submarines to disperse on the sea to detect, reconnaissance, and analyze the whereabouts of enemy ships, coupled with the powerful radar and magnetic sensors on several surface ships. The electronic tracking facilities, as well as the assistance of aircraft, integrate sea and air, and can almost draw a very regular circle, the core of which is where the enemy ship is!
On the vast sea, it is crucial to be able to grasp the position and approximate distance of enemy ships! At least you can know where the enemy is, so you can launch an attack and execute tactics according to local conditions!
Lukins had to be careful to avoid falling into a trap. He specially asked Mountbatten to join in to analyze the authenticity of the results.
Mountbatten admired the Germans' technical capabilities. After looking at it carefully, he nodded and said: "It should be correct! Judging from the ballistic direction and the changes in its trajectory that we judged overnight, at least launch an attack." The ship is in that direction! Considering the enemy's usual tactics, they are good at making roundabout attacks and launching long-range attacks from unexpected angles. They especially like to rely on their strong defense and maneuverability to forcefully break through our side. The formation, one is to challenge head-on, the other is to surprise, and the third is to use force to defeat cleverness. As long as a breakthrough is achieved, the encirclement can be torn apart, and when the time comes, attack to the right or left. Be flexible!"
"But in this case, they are more likely to be surrounded by our two fleets and have nowhere to escape! Don't they really worry about being killed? This is too risky!"
A German staff officer expressed doubts that in their habit, as long as the number of their own warships is not as good as that of the enemy. Even if you have sharp weapons, you should try your best to avoid frontal decisive battles. After all, in naval battles, it is almost impossible to kill the 100th and suffer a huge gap of one or two damage to yourself, but it is often more likely to hurt both sides. The side with more ships and more artillery. There are always considerable advantages.
Mountbatten shook his head and said solemnly: "Never judge the Chinese with conventional thinking. Judging from our joint judgment with the United States, the Chinese navy's technology and tactics are already ahead of the times! They have become a completely different and powerful force. strength!"
The Germans all curled their lips, obviously not believing it. The earliest warships in China were all built by them. China's basic heavy industries are all equipped with machines provided by them, and China's engineers are all trained by them. Many Chinese researchers were kicked out of Germany How could the so-called powerful fleet built from a bunch of second-hand German goods be as powerful as they boasted? I'm afraid it means its air force is stronger, right?
Arrogance, self-confidence, arrogance, and all kinds of distrust are all filling the minds of Germans.
Mountbatten had no intention of arguing with them. He even sneered in his heart, "What did the enemy do during this long night!" Could it be that such heavy casualties were not enough to awaken their self-righteousness?
Lukins was obviously aware of the abnormal emotions. He suppressed the situation with a cough, thought for a while, and made a decisive decision: "Just follow Rear Admiral Mountbatten's judgment! Order the aircraft carrier detachment to immediately take off one-third of the air force, and the main ship maneuvers to the left to outflank, tell the left wing fleet to prepare for implementation Double Siege Operation!"
Don¡¯t miss this opportunity! In addition, Lukins also wanted to understand that since the enemy had no intention of escaping, but they still attacked and attacked, it at least proved that they were not afraid of being attacked from the front. Rather than passively being beaten and making blind guesses, it was better to charge directly and always meet. Yes!
The huge fleet formed into a circular formation with a diameter of fifty kilometers, like a huge steel turtle, tightly wrapped the battleships at the core, at least ensuring that horizontal ballistic attacks would not hit them. Following Lukins' order, they began to extend their claws and horns, and accelerated forward with the ship facing the left side. The four battleships pulled into a diagonal array, accelerated at 28 knots in the same direction, diagonally inserted into the sea, and formed with the distant left wing. Form a super scissors posture.
The order transmitted by the fastest fighter plane only takes twenty minutes to be transmitted back through the opposite fighter plane like an air relay race. Half an hour later, after unique signals are transmitted one after another, they are executed one after another. The fleet of aircraft began to close together and move towards the determined location of the enemy ship to double-team!
This is the tactic jointly formulated by the navies of various countries¡ª¡ªsuper wolf pack siege!
Treat your opponent as a pack of lionsZihu regards himself as a much weaker pack of prairie wolves. He cannot fight alone, but his number is ten times that of his opponent and he can always use up energy.
At the same time, the specially equipped ship-mounted missiles in the German fleet began to fill with fuel and preheat themselves for self-test.
Under Hitler¡¯s orders, German scientists had no choice but to transform the bases of four heavy cruisers into missile attack ships! Except for the indispensable mainmast and chimney of the bridge in the middle, the front and rear turrets were compressed as much as possible, leaving only the small cannons for self-defense. Then, four and eight missiles were forced into the long and wide space. Launcher.
Because the entire structure was too huge, especially the liquid-propelled V2 missile, which was extremely heavy, they had to dig out the surface armor to leave a big hole, and then built a thick steel door on the upper part. As a result, the entire battleship looked bulging front and rear, like a pod. .
At this time, as the order was given, the steel gate was opened outward on both sides through hydraulic push. The missile placed horizontally on the hydraulic launch tower below slowly stood up, filled with fuel, and the electronic system detected. As the waves rose and fell, the project The staff were all on tenterhooks, fearing something might happen!
On the contrary, the preparations for the new generation of solid-launch missiles on the two H-class battleships appear to be much more relaxed. Their projectiles are half smaller than V2, more than half shorter, and only a quarter of the weight. They can be placed vertically into a huge ship body with greater density. When necessary, the entire launcher can be It is launched quickly and conveniently.
Clusters of German missiles are like crude and simple mechanical creations in steampunk fantasy. The missile bodies with sharp bullet heads show their fangs, waiting for the target to be discovered!
The distance between the enemy and ourselves has changed from 500 nautical miles to 500 kilometers, getting closer and closer!
For a full hour, Zhu Bin did not continue to fire, but quietly adjusted the posture of the fleet to another formation!
Led by two electromagnetic gun attack ships, the two guided missile cruisers formed a huge arc-shaped attack line, one behind the other, with a maximum arc distance of fifty kilometers, heading diagonally towards the main force of the German army.
Four Kunlun ships and one missile cruiser rushed out of the array and crossed to the right, aiming directly at the enemy flank fleet commanded by the British and dominated by the Italian fleet. Destroyers and light cruisers followed up, while the aircraft carrier formation was a two-headed giant. Under the cover of the dragon, it sailed steadily behind the center, forming a huge inverted triangle. The carrier-based fighters were ready to go!
After seeing the latest footage from the "Thunder Dragon" fighter plane, Zhu Bin smiled slightly: "It seems that the Germans are still very tough. They have not been defeated after a night of tossing. Very good. I like this kind of enemy! Well, Give them a warm hello first!¡±
A few minutes later, four large submarines quietly surfaced under the water in front of the left squadron. Each of them launched six cruise missiles one after another, together with more than 20 missiles launched by two electromagnetic gun attack aircraft and two guided missile cruisers. Together, they formed a large-scale crazy attack group, rising through the air and heading straight to the sky!
? All subsonic anti-ship missiles! The second-generation high-range, high-precision trump card! Make the first move with lightning speed, the target is determined, and there is no hesitation!
The German reconnaissance plane, which was about to fly to the front combat zone, suddenly discovered a large number of slender things coming across the sea one after another. It suddenly screamed again and again, the enemy's attack had officially begun!
