The first to take off was the swordfish bomber. At this time, they were not carrying torpedoes but mines. Their task was to mine the port to prevent French warships from rushing out of the port.
It's very simple. Just close the door and fight. As long as the French warships can't get out of the port, it will take minutes to eliminate them.
Just as the swordfish bomber took off slowly from the deck of the aircraft carrier, the calibration planes on the battleships were also quickly ejecting and taking off.
In later generations, ordinary warships are loaded with helicopters. Now, large warships are loaded with seaplanes. They use catapults to take off on warships. When they land, they land directly on the sea and wait for their own warships. Recycle by crane.
In the middle of the warrior's ship, a super Marlin walrus water reconnaissance aircraft was hurriedly ejected into the air. This is a two-wing reconnaissance aircraft that can also be fired.
The open cockpit cover has always been British characteristics. At this time, behind the cabin, the observer George, who was in charge of the artillery calibration task, felt the huge impact as the carrier aircraft took off.
Every take-off is like being kicked **** a smooth ground. This feeling is really unpleasant!
After a few seconds of dizziness, George got used to flying. The pilot in the front cabin had already piloted the plane and raised his height. On the anti-Patti side, the French battleships were lined up neatly, and they had not yet begun to move. , Is simply the best opportunity!
Holding the optical instrument, George was measuring quickly, while constantly reporting: "Distance, 15340 meters, bearing, 60 degrees, 30 minutes, 2 seconds, the first test shot, start!"
"Boom!" On the Warrior here, a main gun quickly fired, and according to the data provided by the school firing plane, it started a test fire.
With a beautiful trajectory, the cannonball flew over and hit the breakwater in the same way!
If it was on a warship, then it would be impossible to know how far away from the target this shooting was. It was blocked by the anti-wave board, but on the high school shooting plane, everything was clearly seen!
"Close shot, raise one point up, all artillery, shoot together!" George exclaimed excitedly. His artillery shell is only a few tens of meters away from the French flagship, the Dunkirk, as long as the elevation angle Raise a little bit and you can hit! At the same time, all of one's artillery shells hit the opponent's warship, and the French flagship can be killed in one shot!
It's exciting enough to think about it.
"Raise the anchor," General Suer was also giving orders here.
To stay here, only to be beaten, they must move, even if the steam pressure is temporarily insufficient, they must move!
On what? Of course it is a tug!
Compared with the steam engines of battleships, the tugboats are almost always diesel engines, almost as long as they start, they can move. At this time, they can only rely on the tugboat to make them maneuver first, even if they turn around first, let them move. Able to enter the fighting state!
"Boom, boom!" The 381mm shell flew again!
This time, the accuracy of the British warship was indeed high enough!
They almost flew over the heads of the French warships and splashed into the sea next to them. A tugboat was almost overturned by the splashing water!
"Long shot!" In the sky, George looked at everything on the sea very depressed. This time, he shot far away! When he was firing at school, he actually forgot to consider the speed of his own warship!
Damn it!
But this time, it won't be wrong again!
Just when he was about to continue the school shooting, he only felt that his plane was turning quickly. In an instant, he could not see the sea.
At the same time, shells flew past his fighter plane, exploding black smoke in the sky not far away.
High artillery!
Of course, the French Navy noticed this calibration plane. This was the first target they had to deal with, although it was a little far away!
On the French battleship here, various types of antiaircraft guns, no matter what they can reach, are shooting into the sky, even if they can't shoot down the opponent, they just wound it, or even interfere with its flight, it is also useful!
At the same time, the school-launched planes on the French warships also took off. They wanted to give command to their warships to attack the British navy here!
The battle, as long as it starts, is endless!
At the same time, news of the exchange of fire here quickly spread back to France.
The space in the meeting room was not large, and there was a smell of smoke everywhere. Darren closed his eyes and did not want to speak, while the words of Pierre next to him kept coming into his mind.
"Now, our warships rush to fight, and may suffer a big loss. Only by turning to Germany can we help our navy." Pierre said.
Turn to Germany for help? Where is the pride of the French Navy? Darlang is very contradictory.
The navy is different from the army.
Germany can demand that France have no army, but it has not carried out an extermination of the French navy, because the French navy is not under German control.
Moreover, the Navy is proud.
At the end of the First World War, Britain and France drove the German warships and all rushed to Scarpa Bay, wanting to take these warships as their own.
The results of it? The Germans cheated them, and at the last time, they sank all of these warships. The British didn't get anything, and Kong rejoiced.
Therefore, Germany did not ask the French navy to behave. After all, it could not be controlled. In case of emergency, the French would sink their warships, which would not do much to Germany.
It really happened in history that the warships of the French fleet all sank to the Port of Toulon, causing Hitler to pounce.
But now, the British can't help but fire on the French fleet, which is equivalent to giving Germany a chance!
Darren didn't want to get involved with Germany, but now he has to endure the possible destruction of the French fleet. There is some confusion in his brain and he doesn't know what to do anymore.
"Report, Governor Falkenhausen is here." Just then, an adjutant came in to report.
At this time, France had completed the surrender ceremony and was divided into two parts. In the north of France, the German Fakenhausen performed the duties of the governor of military and political integration.
Now, Governor Falkenhausen came here unexpectedly, which surprised everyone.
"Invite him in." Petain said quickly.
Although Petain is also the ruler of France, now that France has become two halves, he often needs the support of Falkenhausen. Now, when the other party actively visits, he will definitely welcome him with a smile.
