On the battleship HMS Edward VII of the British Royal Navy, Lieutenant General Caveson was standing on the front deck, drinking coffee, blowing the sea breeze, and watching the sailors wipe the deck.
"Boys, you did a good job. You must polish the deck. I think back then, when I was a sailor, I had to wipe the deck like you every morning." Lieutenant General Cavison seemed to be in a good mood.
Although, the German army has not attacked Le Havre these days. But this is undoubtedly because the deterrent effect of the British fleet still exists, so the German army did not dare to act rashly. Relying on a fleet to frighten hundreds of thousands of German troops, such a feat is undoubtedly enough for Lieutenant General Caveson to brag about for a lifetime. Of course, he still hopes that the German army can launch an offensive without fear of death. In this case, he will be able to lead the fleet to cause greater losses to the German army. His boasting capital will no doubt be even richer.
The current Lieutenant General Cavison has not realized at all that the crisis is about to come to them. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't be in the mood to drink coffee and watch the sea.
"General, there is an urgent call from the Expeditionary Force Headquarters!" A staff officer shouted loudly.
"What's going on? Have the Germans started attacking again? Let the ships get ready, go to Le Havre, and use our naval gun shells to teach the Germans a lesson!" Lieutenant General Cavison yelled.
However, when the staff officer delivered the telegram to him, and after reading the telegram, Lieutenant General Caveson lost his voice all of a sudden, just like a duck squawking everywhere, its throat was pinched all of a sudden. .
There were only a few short words in the telegram, but it made Lieutenant General Caveson feel like he was struck by lightning.
The German army dispatched a large number of planes, immediately evade!
"Damn it, order the fleet to speed up and sail west immediately!" Lieutenant General Cavison roared loudly.
Although, he was not able to participate in the decisive battle between the German Navy and the British Navy. However, as a senior general of the Royal Navy, he was very clear about the course of that naval battle. Of course he knew the news that the German navy dispatched planes to sink several dreadnought ships of the British navy. Although, those dreadnought ships were all originally built dreadnought ships, and their performance was not strong. But no matter how bad it is, it is definitely much stronger than these former dreadnoughts of theirs. The planes of the German Navy can easily sink their dreadnoughts. Doesn't it mean that sinking these former dreadnoughts is as easy as killing chickens and dogs?
Lieutenant General Caveson's order made the warships of the British fleet very strange. Isn't their task to assist the expeditionary force to defend Le Havre? Why did you suddenly leave again?
Still, they left and followed orders. After all, this is the bounden duty of a soldier. Some smarter people have even thought that something must have happened. For example, the arrival of the main fleet of the German Navy? In that case, their fleet composed of former dreadnoughts and armored cruisers may have to kill them immediately. Otherwise, what was waiting for them would probably be sunk and feed the fish.
Lieutenant General Cavison's sudden order caused some confusion in the fleet. All the battleships almost started to turn around, almost causing a collision accident.
At this time, the fighter planes of the 3rd and 4th Wings of carrier-based aircraft of the German Navy have already appeared in the eastern sky.
"Woo!"
The shrill siren rang through the entire fleet, and all the officers and soldiers of the Royal Navy were shocked and their faces changed drastically. They are all veterans, so they naturally know what this means.
"My God! Are the Germans coming? Where are they?" asked a Royal Navy officer.
"Sir, in the sky! The Germans are in the sky. Lots of their planes."
When the officer of the Royal Navy held up the binoculars and saw the planes in the sky, he was immediately speechless.
"Sir, the general ordered the ships to disperse immediately. Avoid the German attack."
The dense formation will obviously become the best target for the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft attack. Only by dispersing them can they be better avoided. However, the prerequisite is that these warships must be fast enough, and at the same time must have powerful anti-aircraft weapons. Otherwise, facing the attack of the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft, they will still be like lambs staying.
After the decisive battle between the British and German navies, the British Royal Navy also realized the threat of carrier-based aircraft to surface warships. They also made some preparations, such as adding anti-aircraft machine guns or anti-aircraft guns to the battleship. However, only capital battleships underwent such modifications. These large numbers of former dreadnoughts and armored cruisers seem to have no need for modification at all. Therefore, naturally there is no need to waste resources.
"Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!"
The German carrier-based aircraft commander who was in charge of directing this attack gave the order to attack. Three red flares went into the air, and all the pilots of the carrier aircraft could see them clearly. The meaning of this signal is that each carrier-based aircraft hunts and kills freely in small groups.
After the order was issued, the formation of more than 100 carrier-based aircraft of the German army changed immediately. The original dense formation suddenly dispersed. These carrier-based aircraft launched an attack on the warships of the British Navy on the sea in units of four.
"God! Speed up, the German plane is coming." The captain of the battleship "Indian" of the British Navy roared loudly. His eyes were full of horror.
As the fifth ship of the "Edward VII-class" battleship, the "Indian" battleship has a full load displacement of only more than 16,000 tons. In front of the current battleship with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons, such a displacement is nothing more than a small head. Of course, in front of those carrier-based aircraft, the battleship "Indian" is an out-and-out behemoth.
But now, the battleship "Indian" was scared and fled in embarrassment by the German carrier-based aircraft.
Four torpedo attack aircraft targeted the battleship 'Indian'. Under the guidance of the squad leader, the four torpedo attack planes caught up with the battleship 'Indian', and then began to lower their altitude and shorten the distance.
A few minutes later, four torpedo attack aircraft launched an attack on the battleship "Indian". They dropped torpedoes within five hundred meters of the Indian.
Four 450mm medium-sized torpedoes hit the sea heavily. After the torpedo sank into the sea, they quickly surfaced and rushed towards the battleship 'Indian' at high speed. The British navy sailors on the battleship were frightened and shouted. .
"Evade, evade immediately!" the captain shouted loudly.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
