Chapter 2167： Assembly of the High Seas Fleet III

In addition to battleships and aircraft carriers, the High Seas Fleet also has a large number of auxiliary fleets. Although it is not as good as the British, it can also look down on other countries in this era. On the south side of the port is the berth for light cruisers, where a total of 18 light cruisers of various types are deployed. Except for the 2 light cruisers as the leader of the destroyer group, the remaining 16 light cruisers were divided into 4 light cruiser squadrons. According to the battle plan, one of the light cruiser squadrons was assigned to the aircraft carrier squadron, and one was assigned to the command of Admiral Hipper The fast fleet, the other two light cruiser detachments are reserved for the main fleet.

The most numerous destroyers in the fleet are naturally the destroyers. For this final battle, the German Navy has gathered more than 80 destroyers of various types. The organization of destroyers has also been improved. The original four-ship fleet is too small. After convenience, and this time, the smallest destroyer squadron has 6 destroyers, and 2 squadrons form a squadron. In addition to the normal 12 destroyers, there will be 1 large destroyer as the destroyer leader.

According to Ruprecht's plan, in the near decisive battle, the German High Seas Fleet will send more than 130 ships of various sizes! The total tonnage of the fleet will exceed 800,000 tons! And if it talks about actual combat effectiveness, then the German fleet may be stronger than the large fleet! And if you count Spey’s fleet, the total tonnage of the fleet will exceed 1 million tons!

In addition to the huge surface ships, the underwater fleet of the German High Seas Fleet is as powerful as the land-based fleet. Although it is not easy to ambush the main fleet with submarines in this era, it can even be said that it is not very visible, but the submarine cordon is still useful. So, for future wars, the German High Seas Fleet gradually deployed more than 80 submarines from the front line to perform tasks in the North Sea and the Norwegian Sea. They will undertake ambushes, vigilance and reconnaissance tasks.

In order to fight this unprecedented naval battle, the air force assigned to the German Navy has also reached its peak in history. More than 2,500 navy-owned land-based aviation and land-based aviation have been densely deployed from the French mainland. It stretches east to Königsberg and then turns north, passing through Denmark, and extending to hundreds of bases in Norway. An invisible large net covers the entire North Sea in the south, east and east of the Norwegian Sea.

The powerful German air power spreads its wings like an eagle. He lives in the German Empire. The wings that stretch to the west and north protect the German High Seas Fleet. Once this eagle gets angry, it can take any A fleet that dared to enter its combat radius was torn to pieces! When the German Empire’s army reached its peak after annihilating the British Expeditionary Force, the Imperial Navy and Air Force also made their strongest voices to the world!

"His Royal Highness, where is our first target to strike?" As Ruprecht wandered through the steel forest-like fleet of the German High Seas Fleet, Admiral Scheer's voice rang in his ears.

"Let’s choose Kingston on Hull. This is one of the most important industrial cities and ports in the east of England, and it is still within the cover of our land-based aviation power." Ruprecht said.

"Also, let the Air Force do an early warning first. Our main task is to destroy the British industrial and military capacity, not to kill civilians." The crown prince thought for a while and added.

"Yes, my highness. Tonight, you will see our attack plan and target selection for the area." Scheer said.

"Very good, get ready to do it, I hope we can embark on the journey the day after tomorrow, this will be a brilliant opening." Ruprech nodded and said. In just a few minutes, the fate of an important British coastal city was thus determined. Two days later, tens of thousands of tons of steel will be mixed with the anger of the Germans on this British port city!

"Oh my God, it's the German planes, aren't they bombing London all the time? Why did they suddenly come here?" When the roar of engines came from the sky, the citizens of Kingston-upon-Hull looked a little panicked. With the German bombers gradually appearing from a distance, although the Luftwaffe has been bombing the British mainland for dozens of days, most of the targets are in the London area. The citizens of Kingston-upon-Hull can only The rumors know a few words about the German bombing.

They guessed and argued. They want to know whether the German bombing is really as horrible as some people have said, or whether it has no effect as the official said. But today, all the arguments seem to be over? Are the citizens of Kingston-upon-Hull about to feel the taste of being bombed? what? You ask where is the Royal Air Force? Sorry, now all the things that can fly are concentrated near London, and it is difficult to resist German bombing. Kingston-upon-Hull is really unattended!

"They are not in large numbers, and they are not arranged in a box formation. Maybe they are not here to bomb." A former Royal Air Force pilot pointed to the scattered bombers in the sky and said to passers-by~www. novelhall.com~ As if confirming what the former pilot said, what these bombers dropped were not bombs, but tens of thousands of flyers and papers.

"The German High Seas Fleet will visit Kingston-upon-Hull tomorrow. In order to avoid the casualties of innocent people, we hope that all civilians will be able to evacuate this impending destruction city before 10 o'clock in the morning from today to tomorrow." The content of the flyer is short, but People also feel terrified! The citizens of Kingston-upon-Hull really hope that the German bombers are coming instead of the German fleet! The arrival of the German fleet brought about ten times more disasters than air strikes!

"God! The Germans are going to destroy the whole city! Where is our big fleet? Where is our air force? Damn politicians! They only care about themselves! They transfer their family and wealth to places out of reach of the Germans and let us Facing the anger of the Germans!" A British worker said angrily. Maybe different people have different views on the war, but now even middle school students know that when the Bavarian crown prince makes a certain decision, it is certain Will do it, just like back then, the crown prince said to bomb London, then the bomb would fall to downtown London. And like today, when the High Seas Fleet is going to "visit" Kingston-upon-Hull, then Kingston-upon-Hull will surely usher in its own end!

"Damn war, **** politician!"

"Who is going to protect our safety? Is the British Empire already weak enough to let the other party hit the door?" People were talking and enthusiastic.
