Chapter 668 Decisive Battle Against the Atlantic(1/2)
[Update five thousand words to comfort everyone...^_^]
"Order the submarine brigades of the two oceans to quickly draw troops to reinforce!"
"Commander, our submarine fleet has already exchanged fire with the enemy fleet. At this time, we are transferred to aid and cannot arrive at the speed of the submarine. It is better for the submarine to continue fighting as planned, and then quickly end the battle and follow the surface fleet to aid together."
Li Dingxin thought about it, even though the Song-class submarines of the Imperial Navy were very fast underwater, they could not catch up with the German warships that entered the combat speed. Instead of wasting the marching, it was better to end the battle there as soon as possible and come here to support it.
As for Liu Chuntang's persuasion to him not to let the Guanghua Emperor participate in the war, Li Dingxin finally refused. In his opinion, the High Seas Fleet has lost its air supremacy, and the German aircraft that can threaten the Guanghua Emperor Emperor's ultimate battleship no longer exists. The German Third Reich-level Ultimate Battleship cannot sink the Guanghua Emperor's ultimate battleship of the Chinese Empire, at least in theory.
However, Li Dingxin was not without concerns. Another factor that could pose a threat to the Guanghua Emperor was the suddenly disappeared German submarine force.
"As long as you strengthen anti-submarine alert, there should be no problem!"
Li Dingxin comforted him in his heart, but he was still very calm and confident in his face - the name of Guanghua Emperor could not be sunk.
When the Central Fleet rushed to the Eastern Front battlefield, there was already fierce exchange of fire on the Western Front battlefield.
As the commander of the High Seas Fleet General Bondy, the commander of the High Seas Fleet, removed the Second and Fourth Squadrons from the main fleet, the only remaining in the fleet was the First and Sixth Squadrons. In total, only two ultimate battleships, seven super battleships, eleven fast battleships, nine cruisers and twenty-two destroyers, as well as two escort aircraft carriers without carrier-based aircraft, and more than thirty tugboats and supply ships.
In this way, the high seas fleet was originally on the side with absolute weakness. After several divisions, the strength of the high seas fleet was greatly reduced.
When he was surrounded by the main fleet of the Imperial Navy Pacific Fleet and the main fleet of the British Royal Navy, Bondy had no intention of breaking through. He knew that he could not break through at all.
The only thing Bondi is happy about at this moment was that he successfully played the game of Li Dingxin's eyelids, which made the enemy ships encountered by the Second Squadron and Fourth Squadrons at this moment the weakest force and the most promising breakthrough.
"Enemy planes are coming!"
A rapid alarm sounded, and the German officers and soldiers on the fleet looked up at the distant sky, and their faces were all bleak in an instant.
In the gloomy sky, dark clouds were everywhere, and teams of Chinese Emperors and British fighters suddenly came out from under the clouds. The buzzing sounds of thousands of fighter jets resounded through the sky and quickly approached the high seas fleet from all directions. The sound even covered the roar of warships and the roar of the waves. The German officers and soldiers who were pressing down could not breathe.
"Why are you still standing there? Fire a gun, soldier!"
"Yes-Yes, sir!"
Listening to the commander's roar, the soldiers seemed to be unable to bear the usual fighting spirit, and their answers were hesitant and stuttering.
A German soldier nervously turned the firing disk under the commander's call, quickly lifted the muzzle of the air-speed fire cannon and aimed in the direction of the enemy plane's attack.
But there were enemy planes everywhere in the sky, densely packed and black, and the soldier was extremely nervous. He didn't know which one to aim at.
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"
The rapid-fire cannon next to him suddenly opened fire, and the soldier was so scared that he trembled all over. He could not fire the cannon at all.
"What are you doing? Soldier!"
"flutter!"
When the commander reached out to pull the trembling soldier who couldn't aim at the cannon, he never thought that the soldier turned around and vomited the commander's face.
The commander was about to collapse. He took out his gun and immediately killed the soldier, and replaced other soldiers to go up.
This kind of thing will not happen at all, but in the desperate situation on the battlefield, even though German soldiers who are famous for their strict training cannot escape the word "fear".
A large number of aircraft from the Imperial Chinese Air Force came over the territory, causing great psychological fear to the German naval officers and soldiers, making them unable to exert their usual training level, and even less than 50% of their combat power.
The strength of both sides increases and decreases, and the result of the battle is self-evident.
But for the pilots of the Imperial Army, it is inevitable to destroy the German fleet in front of him, because the opponent has no escort fighter jets at all, and can only fire in the air. Wang Jian, commander-in-chief of the Imperial Navy aircraft carrier battle group, has developed a new tactic - the second-second attack tactic, that is, when the absolute air supremacy and the absolute advantage of his own air force, in order not to give the enemy time to breathe, he ordered all fighters to form multiple batches of multi-elevation combat formations, control the time interval, and launch uninterrupted attacks on the enemy ships, so that the enemy's air defense firepower has no time to reload shells, and even makes enemy personnel unable to open their eyes to avoid explosion shock waves at all times.
According to Wang Jiancheng's order, the Imperial Naval Air Force and the Royal British Naval Air Force launched attacks from the left and right wings of the High Seas Fleet respectively. More than 200 aircraft carriers on both sides took off a total of more than 8,000 fighter jets, but the attack targets were only dozens of warships of the High Seas Fleet, so they were divided into eight attack waves, taking off one attack wave every 20 minutes. Each attack wave was divided into ten attack ladders, and each attack ladder was only two minutes dive attack time. One hundred dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft carried out dive attacks on each target, excluding flight time and evasion action time, and the bomb drop time was only ten seconds or even several seconds. The subsequent war opportunities followed one after another, causing a continuous attack situation to suppress seconds, without giving the enemy ships a breathing time.
The Ultimate Battleship, the Sixth Squadron flagship, was arranged on the left wing of the High Seas Fleet, was the first battleship to be attacked by the Imperial Chinese Air Force.
The No.7 ship, the Third Reich-level ultimate battleship, was given high hopes by Hitler. This ultimate battleship with a displacement of nearly 80,000 tons is the battleship with the largest number of anti-aircraft artillery among the German Navy. During the air-sea combat exercise, the Air Force that once defeated Goering and was praised by the German Navy as the ultimate battleship that will never be sunk by fighter jets.
But at this moment, the Berlin battleship was another scene. In just a few minutes, the Berlin battleship was hit by several batches of fighter aircraft from Emperor China.
The powerful warship's anti-aircraft artillery fired violently, and formed a powerful firepower air defense net nearby. The Chinese Emperor**, who attacked the battleship of the Berlin battleship, lost more than twenty fighters in succession in the first attack ladder, and only three aviation bombs hit. For the thick-skinned battleship of the Berlin battleship, this injury is nothing.
However, under the attack of the Chinese Emperor's second-second tactic, the fighter's continuous dive attack did not give German officers and soldiers a breathing time.
A fighter jet in front was shot down, and another appeared in a few seconds. From the first fighter jet was more than 1,500 meters away, the second one could intercept at as fast as 1,000 meters, and the third fighter jet barely intercepted about 600 meters away from Berlin. At this time, the German anti-aircraft rapid-fire gun in this direction should be replaced. The fourth Chinese Emperor's fighter jet broke through the smoke and clouds generated by the explosion of the previous fighter jet in a few seconds, and the machine gun fired a strait at the German officers and soldiers hundreds of meters away, causing a large number of casualties in the German army. At the same time, the aviation bombs flew down to the position of the German rapid-fire guns and exploded, destroying the German rapid-fire guns.
This is just a small microcosm. At the same time, the nearby German air defense artillery could not support each other at all, because their fronts were attacked by the Chinese Emperor's fighter jets at the same time. Either the air defense artillery was blown up, or the German officers and soldiers who controlled the air defense artillery were killed and injured, and as a result, they all lost their combat effectiveness.
When the dive bomber group wins the second-second attack, the torpedo attack group of Chinese Emperor* can safely lower the altitude and calmly drop torpedoes within a 1,000-meter perimeter of the battleship Berlin.
When torpedoes hit the Berlin at high speed, the officers and soldiers on the above were frightened and shouted and rushed wildly. For a moment, the chaos was extremely chaotic.
With a loud bang, a red-headed torpedo hit the port side waterline belt of the Berlin. The huge explosion instantly caused huge waves hundreds of meters high. The Berlin battleship, which had a 450mm thick armor protection, suddenly shook violently. The armor of the waterline belt was blown out four-fifths of the thickness of the round black pit, causing multiple huge cracks on the port side of the battleship.
"We're fine! The enemy's torpedo cannot penetrate the Berlin armor!"
The German officers and soldiers who were shocked to the deck cheered, but their smiles suddenly frozen at the next moment.
A German lieutenant got up and looked at the sea, and saw more than a dozen torpedoes approaching the edge of the battleship.
"Feconi!"
"Bang! Bang bang!"
At the moment when the German lieutenant cursed, more than a dozen torpedoes hit the Berlin at the same time. The violent explosion instantly stirred up a rain of fire and swallowed the Berlin warship in an instant. The violent explosion shock wave tore the 450mm thick armor apart, and the sea water poured violently backwards from seven or eight huge holes. In just half a minute, more than 5,000 tons of sea water poured into the port side of the Berlin, causing the Berlin warship to swell severely leftward and sank rapidly.
Although the battleship Berlin began to sink, many torpedoes were still attracted by the huge electromagnetic pulse waves of the battleship Berlin and continued to attack it. This is also a disadvantage of the magnetically differentiated self-guided torpedo, which was not improved until after the war.
The battleship Berlin was attacked to its loss of combat effectiveness and was sunk in just five minutes. The powerful attack power of the Chinese Empire naval aviation force opened the eyes of the German naval officers and soldiers. It was not until that moment that they truly realized that the era of battleships had passed.
The blitzkrieg of the battleship Berlin battleship sank, giving the German officers and soldiers on other battleships of the High Seas Fleet with heavy psychological blows.
But they did not have time to mourn the comrades on the Berlin, because at the same time they were also attacked by the tactic of suppressing seconds.
The Ultimate Battleship of the USS Germany where Bondy is located is the highest priority target. If it is not in the center of the High Seas Fleet, the Chinese Emperor** fighter jets need to break through layers of air defense firepower networks to reach the German battleship, then the USS Germany will be the first to be sunk. It is because it is the flagship of the High Seas Fleet.
Although Li Dingxin has transferred most of the jet fighter jets to the Eastern Front battlefield, most of the Western Front battlefields are propeller fighters. The air defense firepower network of the High Seas Fleet has been effective and hundreds of fighters were shot down in just a few minutes. However, there are too many fighter jets from the Imperial Empire. In addition, the Royal Navy Air Force was also transferred here to participate in the battle, which made the air defense force of the High Seas Fleet seem extremely insufficient and was quickly broken through.
The overwhelming attacking group of attack aircraft, coupled with the new second-pressure attack tactic, soon caused the air defense firepower of the ships of the high seas fleet to become paralyzed.
At 5:37 pm, with a loud bang, a major explosion occurred in the main artillery ammunition depot of the Ultimate Battleship, the flagship of the High Seas Fleet, the USS 3, causing a tragic death toll in the entire battleship. The Ultimate Battleship was attacked by 45 torpedoes and bombed by 433 aviation bombs within five minutes. None of the 3,422 people, including the commander of the High Seas Fleet, were spared, and they all accompanied the Germans to turn into countless wrecks and sank into the seabed.
Other battleships, light cruisers, destroyers, light escort aircraft carriers, tugboats, etc. were also sunk and severely injured in the next half hour. Although the German destroyers ran fast, as long as they were hit by a torpedo or two aviation bombs, they would basically be crushed.
Since the Chinese Emperor** focused on attacking the main battleships of the High Seas Fleet, these auxiliary battleships avoided being destroyed as soon as possible. In the subsequent battle, as the flagship of the High Seas Fleet was sunk and Commander-in-Chief Bondy was killed, other German warships did not resist so stubbornly and fled in all directions.
The Imperial Navy Pacific Fleet and the British Royal Navy ships surrounded from all directions launched fierce attacks on them. In addition to the USS Munich heavy cruiser and several tugboats surrendered, all other German warships sank.
On the Western Front battlefield, although the battleship formations of China and Britain were very powerful, they were not the protagonists. Tens of thousands of fighter jets from hundreds of aircraft carriers of the two countries became the decisive force.
However, on the Eastern Front battlefield, the situation is indeed the opposite.
The second and fourth squadrons of the German High Seas Fleet, which broke through, met the Central Fleet of the Imperial Navy after smashing the Sixth Battleship Detachment of the British Royal Navy.
The German fleet's aircraft carrier battle group has disappeared and has lost its air supremacy. Although the Chinese Empire Navy has a powerful aircraft carrier battle group, it failed to calculate that only dozens of fighter jets participated in the war in this sea area, and could only harass the German fleet and could not lead to decisive victory.
"I'm about to enter the war zone! Please prepare for combat! Repeat! I'm about to enter the war zone..."
On the walls of various departments of the Ultimate Battleship of the Guanghua Emperor, the announcements about entering the war zone were repeated over and over again in the Fleet Channel speakers.
At this time, all the officers and soldiers of the ship had made full preparations.
The combat staff from various departments were walking back and forth in the aisle, spiral ladder, and cabins. They sorted out their clothes for the soldier, tied their shoelaces for the soldier, patted the soldiers' chests, and repeated the words to encourage fighting spirit, constantly encouraging morale.
"Just perform normally as usual in your daily training!"
"Our warships cannot be sunk!"
"Most of the main forces of the enemy have been eliminated, and our main forces are on the way to help us."
"We are not waiting for reinforcements to arrive, but we are eliminating the enemy in front of us before the reinforcements arrive."
"We will never let friendly forces rob the credit that should belong to us!"
...
"Radar report! The enemy fleet is moving quickly in 130 direction!"
"Sonar Report! No abnormalities were found within 20 nautical miles of our fleet!"
“65 kilometers!”
Various reports gathered in the bridge command room. Li Dingxin stood with his hands behind his back, just quietly looking at the wisps of smoke in the distance, which were the smoke coming out of several German warships after they were attacked.
“64 km!”
"Enter the missile attack range! Dalian and Lushun ask whether to attack!"
Liu Chuntang turned to Li Dingxin and repeated it.
Li Dingxin nodded. Liu Chuntang immediately issued an attack order.
In the command room of the Dalian missile cruiser, the captain put down the phone and ordered: "Prepare for sea combat!"
The order was issued, and the combat personnel from all departments within the bridge quickly took their seats.
"The sea combat is ready!"
"Sea combat, Xiaotian Dog missile attack!"
"Target German Queen battleship! Double launch preparation!"
"The launch of missile No. 1 is ready!"
"The launch of missile No. 2 is ready!"
