Chapter 2171: Bloodfire Bayou IV

In less than half an hour, the British attempted to penetrate the defensive net had failed, and what was even more pitiful was that the British bombers couldn't run if they wanted to! Being chased by the German twin-engine fighter like maggots attached to bones, fighting each other!

British bombers hurriedly threw down a bomb to lighten their load. Unfortunately, they still couldn't get rid of those quick killers. With the continuous firing of machine guns, a round of cannonballs were flying in the air freely, and the British were in the rain. While struggling hard, the engine roared again and again unwillingly. However, in the end, it was impossible to prevent most of the bombers from turning into dazzling fires in the sky.

This rather tragic struggle of the British was nothing but a farce in the eyes of the Germans. It had no effect except to interpret the strength of the German navy and air force with his own blood. Ruprecht did not consider the British Air Force's invasion at all, nor did he even consider the result of this shelling, because after he saw it, the latter did not need to be considered, because the input of shells was enough, then the result would naturally be good!

The main battery of a Bavarian-class battleship is about 1,000 rounds. These ammunition weigh more than 800 tons if not counted as propellant! Then the 12 Bavarian-class battleships are tens of thousands of tons of ammunition! Plus the ammunition for the main and secondary guns of other battleships. Even if the German Navy only fired one-third of its ammunition this time, it would have exported more than 10,000 tons! The so-called bombers really cannot compete with the main force of the High Seas Fleet! As long as it can be reached, the output of the German fleet's shelling for 3 hours can exceed 1,000 bombers for 10 times! The goal is just a few small towns in the estuary!

"Where is the British fleet now?" Ruprecht asked.

"According to the situation reported by our long-range reconnaissance aircraft, today the British Great Fleet did leave the Gulf of Forth, but they never left the cover of the Marine-based aviation in the Gulf of Forth. They just walked a little south and then turned back again. . But this time they did not return to Hong Kong directly, but trained artillery." Admiral Scheer said.

"Any other news?" asked the crown prince, frowning slightly.

"We saw a warship similar to an aircraft carrier in the formation of the large fleet this time, on which planes were released to drive our long-range reconnaissance aircraft. According to intelligence, the other party seems to have some rules." Admiral Scheer said.

"Does their aircraft carrier take off and land many aircraft?" Ruprecht asked another question that he was very concerned about. Historically, the British aircraft carrier has not many aircraft, but who knows this plane. What?

"It doesn't seem to be much. According to intelligence sent by a reconnaissance plane venturing close to the British fleet, there are no aircraft on their deck." Admiral Scheer said.

"Then I can rest assured," Ruprecht said with a long breath. Why can a German aircraft carrier such as Wittelsbach hold more than 80 aircraft? Not only because of the large hangars and tickets, but more importantly, more than 40% of aircraft are thrown on the deck! All the aircraft carriers before the end of the 2nd World War, if you do not play tethered, then even if it is a double-layer hangar, the aircraft carrier-borne aircraft will not be too large.

As for whether the British will deliberately empty the deck? How do you say this? While mooring aircraft on the deck can increase the number of aircraft, it also brings trouble to the operation of the aircraft. It does not mean that you can add it if you want to in a short time. At least this was the case when everyone first started playing aircraft carriers in the first battle! So, since this time the British sailed to the side of the Luftwaffe, there is no reason for them not to follow the normal configuration. What if the Luftwaffe really concentrated a group of K8 bombers and went directly? In this era of air combat, heavy bombers are actually not bad...

"Haha, Jericho has a keen sense of smell." Ruprecht was not disappointed that he didn't catch the Jericho fleet, but what really made Ruprecht take a look at was that Jericho knew the last The decisive battle is coming, and the final preparations have begun. And now, the British can come up with an aircraft carrier squadron that can make do with it is enough to prove Jericho's vision.

"We are almost ready to call it a day after the fight. We are going to let the British fleet gradually get used to our course of action this time!" Ruprecht thought for a while and said.

From the first sound of the gun, the German fleet spent 3 hours completely erasing all military targets in these three English estuary cities from the ground! The craters that were several meters deep, piles of ruins and twisted machinery silently told people what happened in this area and the powerful firepower of the high seas fleet. The wreckage of the aircraft scattered on the ground heralded the defeat of the British Air Force!

With the completion of the mission, the German high seas fleet began to shrink, and the huge T-shaped array was reorganized into a square array suitable for navigation. The Hipper fleet returned first, and then, four battleship detachments went hand in hand on hundreds of **** warships and auxiliary ships. Surrounded by the ships, they embarked on their way home. They need to return to Wilhelmshaven at high tide in the afternoon. After a short rest, they will cross the Kiel Canal tomorrow and enter the German navy bases on the Baltic Sea. UU reading

"The German fleet just left?" At this time, in the basement under the Prime Minister's residence in London, Prime Minister Asquith, who was breathing the dirty air, said coldly.

"Yes, all the industrial facilities and ports in Kingston, Klims, and Brig were completely destroyed. Their attacks were more terrible than bomber bombings." The Minister of War Lloyd George said with a sigh.

"How many times will the Germans do this again? Are they going to turn the entire east coast of England into a piece of scorched earth? These crazy guys!" Asquith's angry voice echoed in the basement.

"We really don't know this." Lloyd George said with a cold sweat.

However, things that Lloyd George didn't know clearly did not mean that no one in the UK could say it clearly! At this time, Jericho is discussing with his staff about today’s German naval shelling. Of course, they are definitely not discussing how to engage the high seas fleet under the cover of the Luftwaffe, but want to draw conclusions through various analyses. The current state of the high seas fleet! In the eyes of laymen, messy information that has no value can be sorted out very important information in the eyes of professionals!

Just at the Kingston Power Plant where the Germans had just fired, a group of people from the British Navy were collecting fragments of shells. Not far from the port, another group of British Navy was discussing something with the people coming from the post. All the information obtained will eventually become the basis of judgment for Jericho and others!
