Chapter 395

The watchman looked at the calm sea in a good mood, his face very proud. As a member of the German naval fleet, he felt very proud, because what his father's generation had not been able to do, now his imperial navy had done it.

Sinking seven battleships has always been the dream of the German fleet on the high seas. The days when sinking a British battleship can boast for several years are gone. Now almost everyone is thinking about sinking a British battleship. It seems that sinking a British battleship is a very simple thing.

His aircraft carrier has not been officially named by the Navy, and its internal number is warship No. 5. Not far from the sea is warship No. 6, which is the latest two aircraft carriers launched by the Navy. Although there is no change in the hull, this warship is expected to carry more advanced radar and command system, The No. 6 ship launched three days later even installed an experimental system for taking off and landing fighters at night.

It's said that this system is a new thing invented by the head of state. It uses the principle of blocking light to enable pilots to take off and land safely without seeing the flight deck. Although the problem of taking off and landing aircraft seems to have been solved, the problem that naval aircraft cannot fight at night still exists. German engineers and researchers are trying their best to install the radar system into the aircraft, but the experiment is still in progress.

Because of the rush launch, neither of the two aircraft carriers was equipped with radar, most of the internal watertight cabins were not closed, and the sailors' lounge was not even decorated. However, according to the plan of the German Navy, the radar equipment of the No. 5 and No. 6 aircraft carriers will be completed in Port William.

This is also a helpless move, because the steel reserves of Kiel military port are almost used, because the segmented construction of the seventh and eighth aircraft carriers has already started in Kiel port. At that time, there was a problem in the turnover of steel. After discussion, the general staff of the Navy found that there was still some surplus in Port William, so it worked out an airworthiness plan, and put the unfinished 5 No.6 aircraft carrier will go to Port William to continue construction - anyway, the warship will go to Port William, which will save the trouble of transporting steel.

The two aircraft carriers will set out from the Kiel naval port in the Baltic Sea, escorted by four destroyers, go to the German naval port of Wilhelm via Denmark, where they will fight with the waiting convoy for a long time to form the first sub fleet of the German Navy.

There are two cruisers captured from Britain, four German anti-aircraft cruisers, and four anti-aircraft destroyers - together with the four destroyers escorted all the way to the past, which forms a standard double carrier fleet of the German Navy.

The German high level attached great importance to this sub fleet. The operational plan formulated by Reidel was to rely on this sub fleet to go north and cut off the transport line near Iceland; The high seas fleet of the German Navy transferred to Brest military port went south to threaten the British southern route; Donitz's submarine forces concentrated on strangling the western British waters. Complete the complete blockade of British territory at sea at one stroke.

RedAll's idea is that the experienced high seas fleet will search for planes in Brest to annihilate the Royal Navy Fleet rushing to the British mainland, and the submarine force and the newly serving aircraft carrier sub fleet will cut off the British supply line, so as to defeat Britain in one fell swoop.

Two aircraft carriers sailed in the Baltic Sea one after the other. While touching the long tube telescope hanging on his chest, Keefer was full of imagination about his warship galloping in the North Atlantic and sinking the British warship.

All of a sudden, I heard the alarm in the horn behind me. He was so scared that he almost fell down from the mast's lookout position, and only when he grasped the railing beside him could he be regarded as stabilizing himself.

He looked at the destroyer not far away, only to see that the destroyer was turning to the distance, and was making complicated signals with lights. After learning the flag language and light signals for half a year, KOV naturally saw the meaning of those signals. He was so scared that he untied his seat belt and began to climb down quickly along the handrail of the mast.

And just as he was frantically creeping down, the two waves were approaching the side of the No.5 aircraft carrier, like two white thin lines on the quiet surface of the Baltic Sea.

On the bridge, Captain Graff, who is in charge of receiving the No.5 warship, stares at the approaching torpedoes not far away and urges the helmsman around him again and again: "hurry! Turn as fast as you can! hurry up! Hurry up

"Captain, this is the fastest turning speed... The internal structure of this ship has not been completed yet, the speed can only be increased to 20 knots, and the turning should not be too violent, otherwise the structure will be broken." "It's dangerous," explained the Engineer in charge of coordination, frowning

"It's over now!" Colonel Graff roared like a cat that had been trampled on its tail: "aren't we finished being torpedoed? Isn't that the end? Speed me up! Turn around

Just as he roared, a violent tremor came from his feet. At the moment of falling, the content reflected in Col. Graff's mind was "over, this time the No. 5 aircraft carrier is completely over!"

The explosion came, and the whole aircraft carrier seemed to be lifted out of the water, and then fell into the sea with a huge force. The sound of steel twisting creaks, and the whole command bridge is in a mess because of violent shaking.

"Damage control! Find the damage control quickly Colonel Graff's men were still lying on the ground and did not get up. His voice had already called out: "report the damage! Control the water area immediately! Pump! Prepare the water pump... "Before he finished his words, there was another violent shaking, which made his whole body bounce off the floor. His arm bumped against the chart table which had not been installed, leaving a huge wound“ Captain! Are you ok? Colonel Graff The engineer of shipbuilding in Kiel military harbor was so scared that he was splashed with blood that he was stunned there. After a while, he asked in a trembling voice“ Damage control! Set up the damage control! It doesn't matter if I die! This ship can't sink As he struggled to sit up, Colonel Graff exclaimed, "come on! Repair the warship! Hurry up“ It's too late, Captain! The ship's internal compartment was not completely closed, once the water began to spread, it could not be stopped! We've been hit twice, and it's more irreparable. " Then the engineer burst into tears: "this time is really over. God“ What about damage control? What about damage control? Even if you use a corpse to block these two holes, you have to block them for me! " The gnashing roar of Colonel Graff“ Most of the damage controllers are on board at Port William... "The adjutant sighed and reminded the officer who had been scared to forget about it:" now there are only 20 damage controllers on board, and it is estimated that there will be no rush repair and other things. " Even though his arm was still bleeding, Colonel Graff pushed aside the adjutant who was going to help him up and sat on the ground silent. Although it wasn't too long, it was obvious that the whole warship was tilting, and some small things that were not fixed and vibrated to the ground began to roll, making a series of grunts“ Warship 6 calls. It and three destroyers are changing course to avoid the second wave of torpedo attack. Another destroyer is tracking the enemy submarine. " A telegraph operator reported loudly“ Our ship is rolling. The angle has reached 25 degrees. " An officer in charge of damage control stood beside Graf with a pale face holding the wall. He reported: "the water is out of control, rescue has failed... Sir, order to abandon the ship."“ Drop the lifeboat! Abandon the ship After Graff gave the order, he seemed to have been drained of all his strength and sat down there: "you all leave. I'll take the responsibility alone."“ Sir Several officers are ready to come forward to persuade“ Don't try to persuade me! That's the rule Graff stopped everyone from coming forward with a fairly good arm, and then continued: "when you go back, you should learn from your experience and don't make such mistakes again! The warship must be ready to move! Besides, tell Marshal Ryder that Graf is sorry for his cultivation. " With these words, Graff put out his intact arm and said, "give me a pistol. I don't want to see my warship sink." When everyone came out of the bridge command room, there was a clear gunshot. Everyone on the inclined stairs Leng for a while, and then no longer speak, stuffy to a class. About half of the people boarded the lifeboats, a quarter were missing or dead, and the other quarter spent half an hour in the sea before they were rescued from the destroyer. At 12:05 noon, the fifth aircraft carrier of the German Navy was sunk in the Baltic Sea by a submarine of the Royal Navy before it was named The house of the head of state, Berlin, Germany. Akado and Augustus are discussing how to deal with the problem of Britain, two people's meeting has just entered the end, akado has just determined a three pronged battle plan, hindra rushed into the conference room with a message in a panic“ My head of state, the news just came that the Navy's No. 5 aircraft carrier was sunk in the Baltic Sea by a British submarine. " As soon as Cinderella entered the door, she reported the main situation in a trembling voice. When she heard about the sinking of an aircraft carrier, she was too scared to speak. She calmed down at the door for a few minutes before she came in and said such a coherent sentence“ What? " Akado was also surprised and lost the pen that he had been turning in his hand. Augustus also raised his eyelids, but did not speak, just a sigh.
