The Third Reich: I Became Emperor

"General, all the missile and torpedo ships are deployed. Should we launch them now?"On the sea, the operations officer of the P-15 missile and torpedo fleet, which had just left the port, reported to Lütjens.

They had already received the coordinates sent by the Air Force and could launch them at any time.

"Wait a little longer. The Royal Fleet's current formation is too long. If we launch an attack now, the results will be average and it will easily surprise the enemy. It's better to wait a little longer. Admiral Lütjens looked at the coordinates and shook his head.

"What we want is to catch them all in one fell swoop, and it would be best if we could annihilate the Royal Fleet in one fell swoop."Since he saw the power of the P-15 anti-ship missile, he wanted to destroy the Royal Fleet in one fell swoop, otherwise it would only be a heavy blow and would not be able to solve the current crisis at all.

He himself came from the navy and naturally knew the navy's background very well. If it was two years ago, the Royal Fleet was severely damaged, and the navy might dare to take the initiative to attack, but now, the backbone of the navy has been completely broken. Unless the Royal Fleet is completely destroyed, the navy will never dare to attack.

Therefore, what he can do is to take this opportunity to destroy the Royal Fleet in one fell swoop.

"However, the Royal Fleet's formation is too scattered, and our missiles still have a large error rate, so it is still difficult to wipe them out completely."The operations staff said with some concern.

Originally, it was thought that the Royal Fleet would move forward in a concentrated manner, but in the end, the formation was stretched out very long, adding up to about 70 to 80 nautical miles. This was not good news for their missile torpedo ships.

After all, this thing has errors, and he could not guarantee a 100% hit rate.

"Therefore, we have to wait for the right time and send out the air force to bomb their vanguard fleet. As long as the vanguard fleet is attacked, the fleet behind will definitely come forward to support, and then it will be our chance."After thinking for a while, Lütjens said quickly

"Yes!"Hearing this, the combat staff felt that this was the only solution for now.

Soon, Marshal Catherine received the order to attack, sighed, and then ordered the attack.

A total of 800 aircraft, including 100 of the most advanced J-5 and Il-28 bombers, the rest were TA-152 fighters, and FW-190. As for the BF-109, they could only play a supporting role in the battle, serving as the outer perimeter guard. Of course, there were also a small number of Stukas.

If it weren't for several consecutive victories that gave some countries hope of victory, the Air Force would have run out of fuel long ago.

However, the Air Force's fuel supply is running low and it can't hold on any longer..

Before long, a huge fleet of aircraft had approached the sky above the Royal Fleet.

The fleet of aircraft that covered the sky seemed to cover the entire sky.

At this time, the vanguard of the Royal Fleet formed an anti-aircraft formation under the order of Admiral Fraser.

There were two aircraft carriers in the middle, two battleships on the periphery, and five heavy cruisers around.

There were more than ten cruisers on the outermost periphery.

Destroyers and frigates formed the first line of defense.

There were also five submarines on the seabed, and anti-aircraft guns of various calibers were pointed at the sky, ready for battle.

As for the follow-up fleet, they accelerated to arrive. Admiral Fraser believed that the vanguard fleet could definitely withstand the German attack.

"Report, British carrier-based aircraft are approaching our fleet, but the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower is strong and they cannot get close for the time being."The German vanguard immediately reported.

"All Stuka fighter formations rise to altitude, 3,000 meters. The German fighter commander immediately ordered

"Yes!"

As the order was issued, the Stuka fleet began to climb, increase the throttle, and take position to prepare for a dive attack.

However, the Royal Fleet's anti-aircraft firepower was too strong, and the Stuka formation could not break through at all.

"The firepower is too strong, and it is impossible to attack."The German pilot reported loudly through the headset.

"Damn, the anti-aircraft firepower is too strong"

""Calm down, don't panic, start with the outer frigates." The German fighter commander thought for a while and gave the order.

It was impossible to rush into the core of the enemy fleet in one go, so he could only slowly wear down the enemy's frigates, so that he would have a chance.

"Report, a frigate is locked"

"Attack immediately and take down the enemy's outer warships first"

"Yes!"

As long as we can sink a frigate, the enemy's defense will immediately reveal a flaw.

"The first team, immediately organize an ultra-low altitude assault, 200 meters high"

"Yes!"

The first squadron that was selected did not hesitate at all. Eight Stuka bombers flew towards the destroyer close to the sea surface. Although the anti-aircraft firepower of the Royal Fleet was said to have no blind spots, it still had some blind spots.

"Damn it, enemy planes are attacking from the port side at a very low altitude, fight back quickly."At this time, the captain of the destroyer also found something wrong, and saw eight bombers rushing towards them, and he shouted immediately.

But turning the guns at this time would definitely attract countless bombers.

"Captain, our mission is to defend the aircraft carriers and battleships." The chief of staff next to him said calmly.

Upon hearing this, the captain's face changed drastically, as if he remembered something, and said through gritted teeth:"Keep shooting, don't worry about the enemy planes' low-altitude attacks."

According to the order issued by Admiral Fraser, no warships can turn around easily, and the safety of aircraft carriers and battleships must be guaranteed.

"Sound the collision alarm, prepare for collision."The captain gave the order weakly.

Less than thirty seconds after the collision alarm sounded, eight Stuka bombers flew over the destroyer and dropped sixteen aerial bombs.

Five of them fell into the sea, and the rest all hit. Instantly, a raging fire broke out on the deck.

An anti-aircraft gun was caught off guard and turned into scrap metal, losing its ability to fire.

""Well done!" The first squad leader shouted excitedly when he saw the black smoke coming out of the destroyer.

Although the destroyer's tonnage was not high, it was impossible to sink it with just a dozen aerial bombs.

"Put out the fire and keep fighting back��The destroyer captain gnashed his teeth and said.

Unfortunately, due to the fire, a gap was torn in the destroyer's anti-aircraft firepower network. Countless German fighter planes saw this scene and roared, rushing towards the interior.

"Bastard, fight back quickly!"The British fleet commander saw this scene and shouted with a drastic change of expression.

"yes!"
