    The sea breeze roared, the waves roared, gray-black clouds hung heavily over the sea, and thunder rumbled.  ¡Ì¨NThe flaming ruins of several Daiwa Miyagi castles were slowly sunk by the violent explosions that continued to erupt. A short shower composed of thousands of steel and debris fragments fell in the sky, which splashed on the sea.  The large amount of water splashing is like a heavy rain hitting the lotus.  But soon, the sea became silent again as those giant floating objects were submerged into the water. Only a few lucky people swayed in the huge waves and tried their best to raise water to attract the attention of the rescuers.  "With the order, all squadrons should close their formations and resume normal cruising array with the battleships as the core." Scheer exhaled and said in a relaxed tone.  Under the bombardment of its own large-caliber naval guns, the weakly armored US aircraft carrier was almost vulnerable. In less than 20 minutes, these evil heretics were all blown into fragmented submarine reefs.  Such a victory also made Scheer, who was born in the traditional navy, feel bad in his heart. He has been ridden on his head by those heretical aircraft carriers for many years, and now the battleship has also ushered in a gorgeous counterattack!  Currently, four large aircraft carriers in the US fleet have been sunk, and two fast battleships have also been attached. Considering the insignificant damage suffered by his own fleet, Scheer is undoubtedly convinced that he has won the victory in this naval battle.  Victory - after all, in terms of quantity and performance, our own fleet has an overwhelming advantage. Using 2 Kaiser Wilhelm-class and 5 Bismarck-class battleships after comprehensive cheating to fight against 3 enemy battleships is obviously a killing.  Use the huge power of a bull's sword.  This kind of crushing in terms of strength is also the most ideal situation that one would like to see in war.  In fact, apart from a few exceptions such as the Manstein Plan, wars since the beginning of the industrialization era have relied on hard power to determine the outcome.  Even in the last war, Germany fought alone against the three major powers, Britain, France and Russia.  It is also closely related to Germany's surging industry, whose steel output exceeds that of Britain, France and Russia combined.  With the issuance of Scheer¡¯s order.  The artillery fleet began to gather its formation again; in the previous battle, in order to prevent the US destroyer from launching a torpedo raid on its own battleship, the German auxiliary ships also got involved with the opponent. At this moment, they had already been scattered due to various maneuvers.  Gotta float all over the sea.  Scheer had no intention of catching all the remaining U.S. warships that had fled hastily: the speed of those destroyers was no slower than his own ships of the same type, and the capital ships were even less able to catch up.  Rather than expending too much energy on destroying these small ships of little significance, it would be better to assemble the fleet in preparation for another battle.  Compared to this fleet, which has lost its main force, Scheer is obviously more concerned about the position of another enemy fleet.  If I can destroy another US aircraft carrier fleet in one fell swoop, not only will the Allies be able to control the Atlantic sea power, but the battleships with glorious traditions will also be able to write an immortal poem in their own history to eliminate heretics.  "Marshal, we intercepted a telegram. The US military fleet with five aircraft carriers appeared in Sea Area 14, heading north-northwest, with a speed of 20 knots and a distance of 270 nautical miles from us!" After a while, an adjutant quickly walked in.  Navigation room.  Reported loudly to Sher.  The veteran with wrinkles on his forehead showed a keen gaze that was incompatible with his age. He immediately grabbed the compass, ruler and red and blue pencils on the table to make intense calculations; after receiving the battle damage reports from each squadron,  and the remaining fuel condition.  Scheer issued the corresponding instructions very familiarly.  The destroyers and cruisers either retreated first or continued to follow, and the speed and course of the fleet were maintained at a better situation, and they would not be significantly affected by the opponent's maneuvers.  But this time, Scheer¡¯s wish to make the battleship achieve new successes came to nothing.  In the battle just now, the hearty annihilation he achieved against the US aircraft carrier was due to many prerequisites: not only was the US aircraft carrier unable to run at high speed due to injuries, but the smoke used to save lives was also used up in the previous battle.  , and more importantly, when they were avoiding the attack of German aviation power, they collided firmly with the opponent's heavy artillery cluster in the wind and rain area. They were unable to obtain any long-range early warning in advance, and were then captured by Scheer.  of the battle fleet.  If any one of these three factors is not met, the battleships will not be able to annihilate the barbarians; and this is precisely the combination of art and force, the largest and most complex war machine built by mankind.  And a core reason why it was tragically replaced by an aircraft carrier.  The slow-paced naval battle in the two-dimensional mode is no longer in line with the rapid advancement of technology in the current era. The victory achieved by the Scheer fleet is a great blessing that can only be encountered.  Another US aircraft carrier formation was discovered by the 8th Aviation Battle Group commanded by Lieutenant General Hu Ge.  Five Zeppelin-class aircraft carriers and seven anti-aircraft cruisers formed the core of the fleet, accompanied by two Austro-Hungarian "Daun" class battleships.  Like Scheer, Hugo, who received the report of the Karls fleet encountering the enemy, began maneuvering yesterday morning, and finally identified the force that was attacking the Karls fleet through a large-scale aerial reconnaissance force.??The location of the fiercely attacking US aircraft carrier.  Ten minutes later, an attack wave consisting of more than 200 fighter planes began to take off one after another, and they were all released in just over 20 minutes: the attack planes in this group were all prepared by German aircraft carriers at night.  After discovering the enemy aircraft carrier, they loaded bombs and torpedoes and launched an attack.  With the aviation advantages brought by the aircraft capacity and large deck, the German aircraft carrier fleet has the capital to adopt this radical and unrestrained strategy to deal with every naval battle; although the Zeppelin-class aircraft carriers built during the treaty were not as good as the Hindenburg-class  It is perfect and powerful, but the ship designed by Qingying based on the historical Taiho is also unmatched by the scumbag Essex in the field of offense and defense.  Since the U.S. fleet devoted most of its strength to the attack on the Karls fleet, and was in a weak air condition for a long time, the German detachment sent to conduct reconnaissance and guide the attack aircraft group was not affected.  He resisted fiercely and accomplished his mission brilliantly by constantly sending out radio signals.  Two hours after German fighter jets discovered the U.S. fleet, an overwhelming swarm of locusts swarmed directly over the U.S. fleet.  The US fleet, which had just received the first wave of attack aircraft, had only time to release a few squadrons of fighter jets, and was forced to use smoke to interfere with the opponent's attack again; however, a tragic situation soon occurred.  Since the three Essex-class aircraft carriers maneuvered in from another fleet, they did not engage in combat yesterday. Their stocks of smoke canisters are quite rich, but the other two Wasp-class aircraft carriers have fought all over the battle, and they can no longer pull them at this moment.  The thick smoke enveloped him.  The smoke pulled up by the destroyer escort can only form a fog wall around the aircraft carrier, which to a certain extent interferes with the low-altitude projection of torpedo aircraft. However, it is difficult to achieve the ideal effect on bombers launching dive attacks from high altitudes.  Looking down from a high altitude, the figures of two Wasp-class aircraft carriers with a displacement of 14,000 tons were clearly visible in the smoke screen. The German pilots who were struggling to capture the outlines of those large aircraft carriers naturally poured all their anger on them.  .  Amidst the shrill screams of the JU-87 bombers, the two Wasp-class aircraft carriers turned into a burning floating island in just 5 minutes. As far as the eye could see, no trace of the original decks and hulls could be seen.  .  This type of aircraft carrier was originally a low-tonnage experimental product. Its armor protection was only at the level of domestic light cruisers. A 250kg high-explosive bomb could cause heavy damage to it. The current heavy bombs raining down on it were directly dropped on it.  reached the final verdict.  Soon, the two aircraft carriers completed their service history, broke apart and sank into the sea one after another.  And even the three large aircraft carriers hidden in the smoke failed to escape from this wave of German attacks: the Essex's hangar was hit, and a fire burned most of the ship inside.  Carrier aircraft.  Since aviation fuel was also ignited, even if the aircraft carrier could be rescued, it would have to stay on the slipway for at least half a year.  In the end, these German attack aircraft returned with the core record of sinking two enemy light aircraft carriers and suspected of sinking two large aircraft carriers.  Not only is it difficult to find the specific location of a US aircraft carrier that releases smoke early, it also becomes extremely difficult to identify the damage to the target.  The U.S. fleet, which was attacked by a wave of attacks, no longer dared to fight, and immediately retreated quickly after taking back the aircraft: at this time, they had learned through the radio the tragedy of another friendly fleet, and how to escape back to the home port, but the lineup was also incomplete.  the core challenges they currently face.  In order to avoid the aerial reconnaissance of the German fleet, the US fleet with damaged ships did not choose to retreat directly to the northwest, but turned to the northeast deep in the ocean and tried to escape.  At this time, luck was finally on the side of the Americans. Not long after their escape began, a dense cumulonimbus cloud rolled in from the sky and shrouded it in the sky only a thousand meters away.  Obstructed by this thick cloud layer, fighter jets flying past from high altitude will almost certainly miss this fleet: because when seeing large dark clouds, the pilot's first reaction is to pull up the nose of the aircraft and enter.  High in the sky, strong winds, heavy rain, and lightning may be contained under these clouds, which can cause fatal damage to fragile aircraft at any time.  The U.S. fleet spent several hours in fear, and finally arrived at night when the sky was dark. For them, the most dangerous period had passed. The next step was to make a big circle in the vast sea and return south from the northern waters.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster! ps: Thank you to the monthly ticket support of the book friend Bai Meteor, and the rewards of zccharles, Return to 1m, Bragging without Blushing, and zhouyu1976~~~Subscriptions continue to be tragic
