Chapter 2100： 1st night three

"Your Excellency, we found German bombers over the Strait of Dover. At this time, we were full of people preparing to evacuate on the beach. If the evacuation of the fleet is suspended, what about these people on the beach? If the fleet does not enter the sea but is on the shore, what should we do if the German bombers come over?" At this time, Lieutenant General Martin's chief of staff immediately exhorted.

The Germans can use radiolocation to determine the whereabouts of the British fleet, and the British can also use radiolocation to determine the approximate location of the German aircraft and the exposed fleet. If it is only a maritime invasion, then this is fine, but if At this time, German bombers carried out night bombing, so what should we do? You must know that Dunkirk Port has been bombed hard enough now. Many people evacuated through the beach and then boarded the boat with small boats. At this time, if the fleet is prevented from going out to sea, then in case of accident The consequences of the bombing by German bombers were disastrous. Although the accuracy of night bombing was very low and very low, the ship is now at anchor, and if a bomb falls, the dead may be hundreds of thousands!

"Let Marshal Haig decide for himself, let's get rid of the invading German fleet first! By the way, contact Major General Harris's Second Armored Cruiser Squadron, we may be in trouble this time!" Lieutenant General Martin finally He decided to dump the pot to the army. He wanted to see how sacred the German fleet was this time! But it is estimated that judging from the record of the opponent's patrol fleet almost instantaneously, the opponent is definitely not weak!

The reaction speed of the British was very fast. In a very short period of time, the British mobilized 3 armored cruisers, 4 light cruisers and more than 18 destroyers to the accident area. And this is only the first wave. Two other light cruiser squadrons and an armored cruiser squadron are also coming from other areas. If the German fleet's attack is like a needle this time, then this needle is stuck. On the sensitive nerves of the British fleet!

"We may have stabbed a hornet's nest today." At this time, on the K8 bomber group still hovering in the night sky, a technician in charge of receiving British radio signals said helplessly to his captain. "Too many. The British have broken the radio silence. Many signal points are moving eastward. The two fleets will meet soon. It is estimated that at most half an hour."

"Then the navy can only ask for more blessings." The captain sighed and said. In fact, the British reaction was quite extreme in the Germans' eyes. According to the analysis of the German technicians on board, there were at least 4 or more. The fleet is moving fast, and they are in constant communication to ensure mutual cooperation.

If someone can see through the entire sea from the perspective of God, then you can find that a complete destroyer fleet, including 13 warships including the lead light cruiser Champion, has developed a huge arc on the sea. As a forward and guard post for the entire British fleet. Then, behind were three armored cruisers under the command of Major General Harris and two light cruiser squads under the command of Brigadier General Alexander Sinclair.

In the north-south direction of the battle area just now, the other four auxiliary destroyer units in the guard zone that were originally deployed also began to gather their two huge arms. In general, the British fleet has formed an encirclement from three sides. In this not-so-wide sea area, more than 40 British ships rushed over like a tide. Although the total number is not as large as the German fleet, if you consider the number of large ships and total In terms of tonnage, the fleet commanded by Earl Spey really couldn't compare with the opponent.

"It seems that the situation is a bit bad. The size of the British fleet is a bit beyond our imagination. According to our speculation, there may be more than 10 warships above the light cruiser." An officer said.

"Understood, order the fleet to implement Plan 3, maneuver to the northeast, and first kill the destroyer fleet in the north that is undertaking the patrol mission! Also order Major Frank to lead two light destroyer units to deploy a cordon behind the main fleet! Spey! Said the count.

In the face of the current situation, Earl Spey will never make a head-on attack. This is not a problem that can't be beaten, but it is unnecessary! And it’s not worth the loss. After all, the withdrawal of the British army will continue for a long time. It is obviously impossible to fight the fleet at hand at the beginning. It is not good to say that the British exchanged two destroyers for Germans. One is the German loss!

Therefore, a simple head-to-head is absolutely not advisable. Now Earl Spey’s best choice is to temporarily give up the opportunity to continue recklessly, use aerial reconnaissance and lighting, and concentrate the fleet to attack the British fleet to weaken the British navy’s defense forces inside the strait.

what? What about the transport ship tonight? This is not simple. Since the surface ships have no chance to deal with the transport ships, they will naturally be handed over to the submarine Judging from the current situation, the British should use most of their forces to intercept The Earl of Spey’s fleet was moved to the northeast. As a result, a gap appeared in the southern part of the strait. Without the suppression of the destroyer, the German submarine could pass the blockade at high speed in a semi-submersible state. Although the submarine's underwater speed is very low, it is really no problem for submarines of this era to have a maximum speed of 15 knots or more on the water. If you sail at this speed, it will take up to one hour to enter the sea near Dunkirk, and during this time, the battle between the British fleet and the Spey fleet will definitely be endless!

Considering that the first night evacuation of the British will not be large, the use of submarines for interception and blockade is sufficient. And now, Earl Spey needs to concentrate on dealing with the British fleet's attack!

The so-called one force to drop ten meetings, this statement is very reasonable, when dozens of British warships outflanked from all directions, many warships in the British fleet directly turned on searchlights to search the sea, even though these ships exposed themselves so what? There are comrades who are hidden in the night to help with black guns!

However, this time, the British still somewhat underestimated the Germans. Although the German fleet is not very large, at this time, the number of aircraft owned by the K fleet hovering over the theater has reached about 40. They did not carry many bombs. There is no torpedo, but it has enough flares and a lot of searchlights. Anyway, I don't expect them to hit these warships in the night environment, as long as the flares they fired or the searchlights on the plane can detect their opponents!
