In fact, if the warship operators are trained step by step, although the German Navy's hematopoietic capacity is not as strong as that of the British navy, it can somehow get together the officers and soldiers on the three battleships. However, we should know that the two battleships belonged to the Soviet Navy more than ten days ago, and the German Navy was not ready to take over the two battleships.
Another reason is that the German Navy has put its limited hematopoietic capacity on training naval pilots and sailors on aircraft carriers. Because of the aircraft carrier, which has changed the mode of naval warfare, the German Navy has decided not to deploy battleships on a large scale.
Therefore, for a long time, the German Navy did not train qualified sailors and officers for battleships. The number of warship operators graduated from naval academies has been filled with destroyers and cruisers in short supply. In addition to the fact that the German Navy is currently in large-scale service with more advanced new air defense heavy cruisers, the number of sailors is even less.
So when the Soviet Union's two battleships were handed over to Germany, Ryder and lutjans found that they really did not have much rich power to take over the two battleships. However, in line with the principle that no matter how thin a mosquito's leg is, it's also meat, they brought in a lot of interns, cooperated with a small number of officers, and formed the staffing of two battleships.
The original idea is: anyway, these soldiers don't have to fight at sea with too high intensity. They just need to deploy a protective formation around the aircraft carrier and use it as a large air defense cruiser.
But who would have thought that when these two battleships first went out to sea with the German Navy, they were in such a moment that they needed to step forward. When the German Navy's battleships spread out in line in front of the fleet, all the German navy soldiers were nervous.
On the other hand, there is also the commander of the fleet of British Navy battleships on the "villain". His intelligence had always believed that there was only one battleship in the German Navy, but just now, his fleet was attacked by 26 large caliber shells. Although the precision of these shells was very limited, it proved that the German Navy had at least three battleships firing, which was inconsistent with the information in his hand.
The sailors of the British navy could laugh at the poor shooting of the German Navy, but he did not dare to do so. Where are the two German battleships? This matter absolutely needs to be clarified: "send a telegram to general Dudley pound! Tell him the German Navy has at least three battleships! It could be the French or Italian Navy! "
In fact, his guess was wrong. It was a surprise naval battle, and it took advantage of Germany's Secret advantage of deciphering the British code. Therefore, Germany has no intention of mobilizing Italy or the French navy, because if the information is submitted to France or the Italian Navy, with the level of confidentiality of the two, the allies may know what the Germans think.
So even if the German Navy poured out this time, it did not use the navy of other Axis powers. Whether lutjans or Reidel, including acardo, the German leaders did not trust Italy or the French navy. Even though they were now firmly tied to the chariots of the Third Reich, they still did not trust from the bottom of their bones.
"Boom!" Because of the different firing rates, the German Navy finally allowed the Ukrainian and Belarusian battleships behind to open fire freely. The Reidel admiral almost faced the two British battleships alone and fired back fiercely.
One shell after another fell. In this time and space, the German Navy obviously did not have the luck that the Bismarck battleship sank the Hurd Battlecruiser. It could only rely on constantly adjusting the firing angle of its artillery to hit distant targets.
Similarly, the British Navy's luck was not so good. The third round shot landed near the German battleship, but did not cause too much damage to the Belarusian. The artillery battle continued, and the distance between the two sides was being narrowed by the British navy.
In fact, the German Navy's battleship forces did not have much pressure to sink the British navy. The only thing they planned to do was to use their bodies to buy enough time for the aircraft carriers behind them. As long as the German carrier planes take off and attack the targets, the British battleships will not be interested in attacking the German battleships for the rest of the time.
"Boom!" After a long time of preparation, the other two battleships of the German Navy finally launched their second volley. After this volley, just a few seconds later, the Belarusian battleship was hit by the British Navy's shell in the central region, and the huge impact directly set the battleship on fire. The German Navy was hit for the first time, It's a huge loss.
The poor Belarusian's body shook as it was hit, and then the speed of the battleship dropped by as much as five knots because it was damaged near the boiler. With bad luck, the British Navy began to draw closer and opened fire on the German warships. The German warships were not waiting to die. They fired back with their fastest speed, hoping to organize the British warships to get close to their fleet.
Both sides are fighting for their lives to destroy the other fleet as soon as possible. One shell after another was shot, and one shell after another hit its target. Just as the British Navy hit the Belarusian battleship for the second time, the German Navy's marshal Reidel's fourth volley also hit the villain battleship accurately.
The huge explosion destroyed part of the anti-aircraft gun array on the battleship villain, and also destroyed part of the equipment on the battleship. However, the important parts of the "villain" battleship were not affected, so the whole battleship continued to move forward healthily“ Let the damage controller investigate the hit location! I need accurate repair reports and speculation about the long-term impact on the ship! " As soon as connerson got up from the ground, he gave an order to everyone's surprise: "hit the middle of the other fleet! I want to cut off the enemy formation, pass through them and rush into the center of their carrier fleet Do you think your commander is too excited? That's why you gave such a hasty order to continue to advance: your fleet now has only 17 large caliber guns, and even four of them can't open fire. If you rush to the German Navy battleship troops like this, you'll really lose money! The Royal Navy is proud and powerful, but they are not arrogant. At least at this time, they can't be arrogant to the huge fleet of the German Navy. But is it a hot head or a deliberate choice for general connason to give the order of assault? As a matter of fact, general connason gave this operational order as a last resort: his fleet did not have strong air defense capability. Once it was entangled with carrier based aircraft, it would definitely cause heavy losses to his fleet. Therefore, the British Navy came up with a solution: let the fleet get close to the German battleship forces and take the lead in entanglement with the German battleship forces, Keep yourself safe in the air raid. He has to make such a decision now, because the anti-aircraft artillery of the battleship "villain" has been damaged a lot. If the German aircraft attacks, it will not be able to protect itself and will soon be sunk by the German aircraft. Instead of being sunk by the enemy at that time, we should fight more aggressively while we can fight now“ Cut into the German fleet and fight with each other! The Germans are trying to take off and let them have a rest. We are in danger! " Looking at his men, connason explained, "sink a German battleship, quickly bite the carrier fleet, and provide opportunities for the main fleet to come up!"“ Boom The British Navy battleship opened fire again, more than a dozen shells hit the position of the German battleship. This time, another shell hit the building of the Belarusian battleship. The explosion even broke part of the mast of the battleship, and the whole battleship was covered with smoke. On the bridge of the battleship field marshal Ryder, German admiral Bastian clenched his teeth and listened to his men report the news of the serious injury of the battleship Belarus: "Your Excellency, general! The hull of the battleship Belarusian was seriously damaged. The interior of the battleship was on fire. The soldiers were inexperienced in emergency repair and could not control the fire! Their captain called to ask if he could order the abandonment of the ship? " If the battle is over now, the German navy may be able to continue to rescue the damaged battleship, but now the British navy is still shelling, which makes it more difficult for the German Navy to rescue its own battleship“ Send a telegram to the Belarusian battleship! Let them stick to their posts and continue to fight! For the sake of the head of state, we must insist! " Bastian waved to the officer who had come to report the news to leave. But before the German officer who came to report left the bridge, a shell landed near the bridge of the battleship field marshal Ryder, and the huge explosion shook everyone. On a cruiser not far from the battleship, the captain was surprised to see the smoke rising from the battleship field marshal Ryder, and he closed his eyes in horror: "quick! Send a message to marshal Ryder and general lutjans! Near the bridge of admiral Ryder, the flagship of the battleship fleet, was hit by British shells! Oh, my God! Their bridge has been hit《 For those who want to read the latest chapters of this book, check it out, or visit it on your mobile phone
