One Thousand One Hundred and Twenty-Two Have No Purpose

For the German navy general Lütjens, he didn't know how far the German navy could go in his hands. Please read the most complete! Under the protection of new cruisers and destroyers, the three aircraft carriers sailed mightily on the vast and boundless ocean, and their sharp bows cut through the turbulent waves.

The more modern warfare is, the more and more sophisticated combat departments are involved. In the 21st century, the departments involved in a war need to cooperate with each other, just like the gears in a watch, interacting with each other without any mistakes. And it is precisely because it is too precise that the word synergy has been elevated to the point where it cannot be added.

It seems that at this moment, the German navy is coming out in full force, and it is not just as simple as choosing a day for the navy to drive warships out of the port. At least one day ago, the German weather forecasting department was still calculating whether the climate in the Atlantic Ocean for several consecutive days was suitable for naval aircraft carrier formation operations. They used various methods to verify the conclusions they drew, and even some of the results were calculated by the prophet's computer.

Moreover, when the naval fleet sailed, the sky above the port was still gloomy, which made all naval officers and soldiers uncertain whether they could fight the expected battle in Iceland. But when they were far away from Wilhelmshaven, within an hour of the fleet joining the supply ship from England in the North Sea, they saw the sun and the waves weakened a bit.

"The reconnaissance plane of the 5th Squadron discovered two British anti-submarine patrol ships. They are about 140 kilometers directly in front of us." A naval aviation commander pointed at the huge sea chart in front of Lütjens with a pointer. Let me introduce the latest intelligence: "The intelligence department informed us that the British Royal Navy has set off from Canada and rushed to the waters near Iceland. However, in terms of distance analysis, we still have a full day to attack Iceland."

Lütjens discovered that the war seems to have changed unconsciously. At least for this battle, the things that determine the outcome of the war are still lying in the laboratory of the Imperial University. The Prophet computer deciphered the British Royal Navy's code system. For the Germans, the entire Icelandic defense system is now like a naked girl with no secrets at all.

This war is not a fair duel between knights-in fact, war has never had anything to do with the word fair. The situation where the enemy's every move can be seen in full view made the commander Lütjens feel very frustrated. He felt that as long as he was not a lunatic sitting in his position, he seemed to be able to win the battle.

"Ignore those little guys in front of us. We want to get close to Iceland as soon as possible and destroy the airport and other facilities on the island." Therefore, he simply issued an order that should not be ignored, causing his fleet to crash into it like a rhinoceros.

Sometimes it is not because of recklessness to rush forward without using a roundabout strategy, but because it is the most powerful method chosen after comprehensive intelligence. Lütjens ignored the risk of his fleet's position being confirmed by the British,

Because he knew that his fleet was surrounded by no enemy fleet that could threaten him.

No! Not a single fleet! After the last time the battleship Admiral Raeder secretly bombarded Iceland, the Royal Navy began to discuss countermeasures to deal with this sneak attack. Because they had fighter jets escorting Iceland in the past, only destroyers remained nearby as an anti-submarine force.

When there were planes back then, the German navy naturally didn't dare to rely on them to seek abuse, but as Iceland's main airport was destroyed by German long-range bombers, this air protection umbrella disappeared. The disadvantage that the main force of the British navy could not be deployed in the waters near Iceland was completely revealed.

The huge battleship Admiral Raeder and the accompanying cruisers are obviously not what the British and American anti-submarine destroyers can handle, so these warships are obviously unable to fight against the German fleet at this time. After thinking about it, the British came up with two most reliable methods. One was to rush to repair the Icelandic airport that was blown up by the Germans in order to restore their air protection umbrella as soon as possible. The cruiser was cruising in the nearby waters, ready to counter the provocations of the Germans.

The Royal Navy had no choice but to use the battleship HMS Villain, because the caliber of the main guns of the American battleships was slightly different from that of Britain and Germany. Therefore, there is no place to replenish the shells of the battleship purchased from Germany by the Villain - the British are trying to order a batch of ammunition in the United States, but there is no way to produce this batch of ammunition in a short time.

Another reason is that since the British battlecruisers such as the Hood were sunk, they suddenly discovered that they did not have any capital ships at all, and they could catch up with the new battleships produced by the Germans. Except for the villain, none of their warships can match the speed of the battleship Admiral Raeder, and it is obviously unrealistic to build a new battleship.

But even so, the German navy is now in full swing, and the fleet composed of three aircraft carriers is definitely a decisive force, not to mention invincible in the Atlantic Ocean. Obviously, this German High Seas Fleet is definitely not something that a battleship HMS Villain can deal with.

Who would have thought that the German navy, which has not made any major moves, would start to frequently increase the activities of surface ships in just two months? The oil fields in Libya brought too many changes to Germany, so big that the spies of the United States and the United Kingdom did not have time to transmit so many changes back to their own countries.

...

Looking at the gradually clearing weather, the captain of a British destroyer standing on the bridge put down the binoculars in his hand. This kind of weather is undoubtedly a very good weather for a naval destroyer commander like him. After all, if the weather is bad, the anti-submarine mission he performs will also become difficult.

"I said, the German plane I saw just now is really a single-propeller plane?" He has been holding his binoculars, looking for the legendary ultra-long-range, The Germans' ... single-engine aircraft. It's not that he forgot the German aircraft carrier fleet, but that the German aircraft carrier fleet has not been dispatched on a large scale in recent months.

So in his subconscious, he didn't think about those distant German aircraft carrier fleets at all-he preferred to believe that the Germans had come up with some weird advanced weapons, or that his lookout sailors were wrong.

"Yes, the plane flew around the edge of the cloud and then left. It may be a twin-engine plane...but I think it is more like a single-engine fighter jet." The person who witnessed the incident The British sailor said affirmatively.

Just when he was sure that everything he saw was true, a telegraph officer walked behind the captain on the bridge and handed an urgent telegram from Canada to his commander: "Sir ! This telegram is from Canada... There is very urgent information on it that needs to be notified to you immediately."

The captain of the destroyer took the telegram and lowered his head to look at the text on it, so a line of small words came into his eyes: According to reliable information, the aircraft carrier of the German Navy's High Seas Fleet set sail yesterday. Ship commanders must be careful.

"German High Seas Fleet? Aircraft carrier? Single-engine aircraft?" After the captain muttered in a low voice, his eyes suddenly widened: "Turn south immediately! Sail at full speed and get out of this sea area! Hurry up! Hurry up! The Germans The planes took off from the aircraft carrier, and the main force of their fleet is nearby!"

Realizing that he was in a dangerous situation, the captain of the British destroyer immediately sounded the battle alarm on the ship. Those sailors who had not been trained in anti-aircraft artillery ran to their posts nervously. All kinds of weapons pointed at the sky in all directions.

"Send a telegram to Iceland immediately! It means that the German fleet has been found in the nearby waters! Let them prepare for air defense operations." While speeding up his escape, he hurriedly sent his message back to the Icelandic base behind him. The captain was obviously very good. A seasoned officer, he has done the best he can.

So less than 10 minutes later, Iceland also sounded the air defense alarm, and the battleship Evil and the two cruisers that were still cruising nearby retreated westward at full power. They did not dare to stay nearby. If it was discovered by the Germans and sunk in the nearby waters, it would really not be worth the candle.

While the British were in a hurry to prepare their air defense work, the German carrier-based aircraft also began to take off on their own decks. With Lütjens' order, 24 German carrier-based attack aircraft mounted With all kinds of bombs, they rushed towards their targets like vultures.

"General, I don't understand...why, we know that the British have found us coming, but we still have to launch an attack with such fanfare?" The officer standing behind Lütjens asked with a frown.

"Hehe, just looking at it now, of course you don't understand...we have other plans for the air raid on Iceland this time." Lütjens sneered, then turned his gaze to the attacking planes going away and said Said: "Wait, wait until this plan is implemented, not to mention the Americans and the British, even you will be surprised!"
