Jagged Germany

Chapter 589: wipe out

"General, the current situation is very pessimistic. The 'Indian' and the 'Montague' were sunk successively. In addition, many battleships were sunk. As for the armored cruisers, the 'Minotaur' and the 'North' were sunk. Gill is sunk." On the bridge of the battleship Edward VII, a staff officer reported to Lieutenant Admiral Caveson.

??The battleship "Edward VII" was relatively lucky. Although they were the flagship of the fleet, they were not attacked by the carrier-based aircraft of the German Navy. Not because of anything else, but because the flagship flag of the 'Edward VII' was lowered before the battle started. The Germans did not know that this battleship was the flagship of the British fleet.

?? After all, there are a total of eight 'Edward VII-class' battleships, and they are all similar in appearance.

?? After listening to the report, Lieutenant General Cavison didn't say a word. Now, the carrier-based aircraft of the German Navy are massacring their fleet. Huge warships, one after another, were being shot and set ablaze before being sunk.

??The current Royal Navy fleet is no longer as arrogant as before. A few days ago, they were still firing fiercely at the German infantry in Le Havre, tearing the German infantry into pieces with powerful naval guns. But now, it seems that they have been re-tuned one by one, and it is their turn to be massacred by the German army.

?? "Order the ships to continue sailing westward. The German planes took off from the land. If you want to avoid their attacks, you have to stay as far away from the land as possible." Lieutenant General Cavison said.

?? "Yes, General." The staff officer nodded.

?? When there was no way to deal with the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft, blindly fleeing became the only way. However, Lieutenant General Cavison is not sure whether he can escape in the end.

"General, those planes of the Germans dropped torpedoes and bombs. But I observed that the German planes seemed to carry only one torpedo or one bomb. After dropping, they all flew away. It can be seen that the Germans Although the attack power of human planes is very strong, it has great limitations. As long as they persist until their ammunition is exhausted, we will be saved." An officer said.

?? Lieutenant General Cavison was taken aback for a moment, but then nodded: "That is indeed the case! Maybe we still have a chance to escape!"

??Of course, it is impossible to get out of the body. But if most of the warships can be kept, that would be a rare victory. That's much better than being sunk here! As for providing support to the infantry and helping them hold Le Havre, Lieutenant General Cavison dared not mention a word. Now they can't even protect themselves, let alone support the army. The British Expeditionary Force can only rely on itself.

?? "Tell the news to all the ships and let them find a way to persist. As long as we persist until the end, we will be able to safely withdraw to the British mainland!" Lieutenant General Caveson ordered.

?? When the fleet encountered a frenzied massacre by the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft, the morale of the fleet was also rapidly declining. If the morale of the fleet can be stabilized, or even improved, it will undoubtedly be of great help to continue fighting.

?? Sure enough, the officers and soldiers of the Royal Navy breathed a sigh of relief after learning that the German aircraft would soon have to return due to the exhaustion of ammunition. They just had to pray to God that the German bombs and torpedoes would not fall on their heads. Then, it is entirely possible for them to escape this disaster.

?? "Boom! Boom!"

??A violent explosion sounded on the armored cruiser "Devonshire" of the British Navy. I saw that this huge battleship with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons was completely shrouded in flames and gunpowder smoke. When the fire and smoke cleared, there was nothing left on the sea.

??In the explosion just now, after an aerial bomb penetrated the deck armor, it penetrated the armor of the ammunition depot under the turret one after another, and then exploded. Hundreds of 190mm artillery shells exploded, and the huge power directly shattered the armored cruiser 'Devonshire' into pieces.

??Seeing that another warship on his side had been sunk, Lieutenant General Cavison couldn't help but twitched his mouth.

?? "This is the last one, and soon the German planes will run out of ammunition. By then, we will have no more losses!" Lieutenant General Cavison told himself in his heart.

??Of course, this is not the first time he has said this to himself. Almost every time he said this, one of their warships was sunk not long after.

??The 3rd and 4th Wings of the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft quickly finished dropping all the bombs and torpedoes, and had to return to the field to reload the ammunition. They inflicted heavy casualties on the British Navy, with five battleships and four armored cruisers sunk. Of course, this is nothing to the huge British fleet.

?? "God bless, the German plane has left! We are safe!" Lieutenant General Cavison showed a relieved expression on his face.

?? "Long live! God bless the British Empire!" The officers and soldiers of the other British navy also cheered.

?? However, after a few minutes, their cheers froze on their faces. Because, from the sky in the east, hundreds of planes flew again.

?? "Bastard, how is this possible? Didn't the German plane fly away? Why did it come again? Even if it is to reload the ammunition, it will take time!" Lieutenant General Cavison roared angrily.

?? It was naturally the 5th and 6th Wings of the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft that reappeared on the battlefield. They set out later than the 3rd and 4th Wings, and the timing was just right. After the 3rd and 4th Wings had completed their attacks, they arrived on the battlefield and launched an attack on the British Navy, just in time.

??However, this is not good news for the British Navy. They had to face the attack of the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft again. Moreover, it is still an attack that cannot be resisted at all.

??The morale of the British fleet, under such a blow, began to decline rapidly, and fell to freezing point.

??The 5th and 6th Wings of the German Navy’s carrier-based aircraft, like the 3rd and 4th Wings returning to the field to mount ammunition and refuel, began to slaughter the British fleet.

?? One British warship after another was sunk in despair. No matter how they escape, they cannot escape the pursuit of the carrier-based aircraft. Under the siege of these carrier-based aircraft, the only natural end is to be sunk.

??When the 5th and 6th Wings of the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft dropped all the bombs and torpedoes, there were not many warships left on the sea.

??The 3rd and 4th Wings of the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft also rushed to the battlefield to do the final cleaning of the battlefield, and sent all the struggling warships to the bottom of the sea.
