Originally, the German had the meaning of serving as a bait, but now, the bait of the German could be eaten!

The tail has been damaged, and the speed of the warship has been greatly reduced, which of course means greater risk. Now, we should not only prevent the attack of the other party's naval guns, but also have a second warship duel.

Who knows what's in the other party's formation. I thought it was very safe. As a result, there are aircraft carriers in the formation there. Then, will there be battleships of more than 10000 tons?

It's hard to say.

"Captain, Bruce is here." While he was thinking, a sailor came in with a prisoner.

Bruce's just battle has confirmed his loyalty. If it weren't for him, the German was probably the first torpedo. Now, watching Bruce come in, Colonel stanger put on another expression: "Bruce, you did a good job. Your battle deeds will spread all over Germany."

"Captain, I have a proposal." Bruce said to stanger, "now, while the other party's carrier aircraft return, we can send out reconnaissance aircraft to find their location, and then give guidance to our naval guns to counterattack the other party's fleet."

Now Bruce is completely considering for the German warship. After all, if the warship sinks, they will have to die with them.

The speed of warships has slowed down. It is conceivable that these returned shipborne aircraft will certainly attract more enemies. As long as the commander of the other party has enough courage, he should know that this is a good time to beat the water dog. According to the usual practice, the British navy has this impulse.

So, they will come!

Anyway, I can't run fast. Instead of being chased by the other party, I'd better take advantage of the night and fire at them!

The 283mm naval gun on the German has a maximum range of 40 kilometers (different data, some say 36 kilometers and others say 20 kilometers), However, this distance has exceeded the visual distance, so even in the daytime, if you fire at this distance, it needs to be guided by the reconnaissance plane.

In this era, large warships are equipped with reconnaissance aircraft, which is used to provide naval gun guidance.

Bruce obviously didn't know that German warships had been equipped with perfect radar, which could search for the trace of the British fleet on the nearby sea. His proposal was to quickly eject the reconnaissance aircraft, chase after the British aircraft, and then find the British Naval Formation and sneak attack them!

It can be said that this scheme has a high possibility of success, and stanger is really moved.

"Captain, telegram." Just then, a telegraph operator handed him the telegram he had just received.

When he got the telegram, stangton looked happy: "Bruce, your suggestion is very good, but now, we don't have to worry."

Bruce nodded and backed out. He had guessed that the German counterattack was also very rapid. It seems that I am more worried.

Since the warship will be safe, he doesn't have to worry about anything. Then blow his own deck wind!

The night sky is still dark. Flying in the dark night is a test of flight technology.

For example, completely rely on instruments rather than your own intuition. At this time, intuition is unreliable.

Pilot Philip felt that the sweat on his back was wet. He felt that he was lucky to come back alive.

He was carrying a bomb. It took a lot of courage to dive down and drop the bomb in spite of so much anti-aircraft fire of the German. Fortunately, he did it. He dived and dropped the bomb.

Unfortunately, he missed. The bomb fell into the sea more than ten meters from the other party's side. After that, he could fly out of the other party's air defense fire network alive. It was really not easy.

Fortunately, he did, and from his close observation, he could see that the German had been wounded and its speed had decreased. This is good news!

"Competitive God, competitive God, please turn on the light to guide." When he came back, Philip fell behind. He flew alone and had no companions around. At this time, he just relied on his perseverance and returned to the sea area where the aircraft carrier is located. He is a qualified naval aviation soldier!

Now, on the vast sea, he can't see anything. He must determine the location by radio call and ask the aircraft carrier to turn on the lights.

Soon, a bright light appeared on the sea in the distance. Our aircraft carrier was waiting there!

At this time, the competitive God is busy.

"Most of our planes have been lost. I don't agree to continue sending planes to bomb. German air defense is too tight." Captain Onslow said.

The swordfish attack aircraft suffered heavy losses. He was unwilling to let the boys die.

However, Admiral Tovey was unmoved: "now, it's a good time. The German has been injured. If we go out again, we will certainly sink it! As a soldier, we should have the consciousness of facing death! "

"I think we might as well continue to approach and solve the German with naval guns." Another naval staff officer said, "we send out reconnaissance aircraft to guide the ship's guns. We can kill the German with three volleys."

Hearing this, Admiral Tovey's eyes lit up. Indeed, this method is good!

He straightened up and looked out of the porthole, where the lights were already on, and in the distance, several planes were turning on their navigation lights, ready to land.

Four swordfish have returned to the aircraft carrier. On one side of the deck, the swordfish are preparing to continue loading ammunition for the next attack.

The German was wounded in this night battle. We must not let the German run away. It's best to solve the battle before dawn!

Thinking of this, Admiral Tovey clenched his fist: "OK, that's it. After recovering these torpedo planes, he will immediately accelerate to a position 15 nautical miles away from the German fleet and send the German into the sea with our naval guns!"

He is confident. In his fleet, in addition to two cruisers, there is also a battleship Rodney!

The battleship Rodney is a 35000 ton class battleship equipped with 406mm main gun built by Britain under the restrictions of the Washington Naval Treaty.

It belongs to Nelson class 2 and was commissioned in 1927. Rodney, together with Nelson, Colorado class and long gate class, is known as the Navy holiday seven.

This battleship has very advanced performance and outstanding combat effectiveness. As long as its 9 main guns fire, it will certainly send the pocket German to hell!

At this time, the bright spot in the distance is getting bigger and bigger. By the light on the deck, you can see that the one flying in front is your own swordfish torpedo machine.

But what's the plane behind?
