boom!boom!Following two astonishing loud noises, the telescope fell from Liu Shangqing's hands in the shock of the ship's hull. At the last moment, he clearly saw a shell fired from the Yangwu hit the Bismarck, causing a wave to rise on the ship. Rolling smoke and flames, only God knows the specific results.

Sure enough, he was not wrong in his judgment. After a tremor in the hull, he returned to calm. It seems that the German cruiser was only equipped with 14-inch torpedo tubes, and only one of them was hit below the waterline. Apart from the crater and a violent shaking, there were almost no traces of this huge ship.

"Damn it, God has shown a spirit." Liu Shangqing tore off the buttons on his jacket, untied his command knife and threw it aside, and cursed excitedly: "God is so damn good." Then he spoke into the phone Qi sent an order: "Full starboard rudder, launch the torpedo boat, I will let them taste the taste of torpedoes."

The soldiers cheered for a while, and then the transporters, gunners, and loaders who carried the shells began to get busy. The design of the two dual-mounted artillery also ensured that a 1mm shell could be fired in a little over a minute. was launched.The men of the secondary artillery were not idle either. Although the rough-skinned and thick-skinned Bismarck could not cause too much damage, every hit of the explosive shells they used could threaten the opponent's sailors with an explosion.

Seeing that the Yangwu had not received a fatal blow, Sa Zhenbing also breathed a sigh of relief. After observing for a while, he quickly discovered the hidden dangers of the current situation. , the Yangwu and other first formations will soon face the opponent's fleet of 10 cruisers, and leave the advantage to the large forces behind. Equipped with the core combat power to face the opponent directly - six battleships.

Sa Zhenbing immediately made a decision, and ordered the Yangwu and eight other cruisers by radio to leave an escape route in the south. The other cruisers immediately followed the submarine formation and immediately launched an attack on the opponent's Bismarck and Admiral Hipper. shock.All the big ships rushed forward into the enemy cruiser group at full power, thus splitting the opponent's formation, so that the second submarine formation behind them could launch an impact on the enemy's core combat power.If a saturated attack of 24 torpedoes fails to leave a battleship, then the painstaking training of the Singaporean fleet over the past few years will be in vain.

At this time, the flagship of the Atlantic Fleet, the Bismarck, was being attacked by intensive artillery fire. Lukins had no time to command the fleet stretching nearly ten kilometers in a panic, and finally had to form a situation of fighting on his own.In addition to the two cruisers that have already slipped away, there are several cruisers staying at the end of the line, neither able to attack nor dare to slip away, so they have to follow the ocean currents and the vision given by the fleet in front, looking for the best time to fight .After the formation dispersed, they found that there were enemies on the left and right, and they were even more flustered. The enemy's T-shaped preemptive attack tactics had already caused heavy damage to the flagship, and what was even more pitiful was that the Prinz Eugen was about to die in the belly of the fish.

Resurrection: World War II Chapter 622 Naval battle ended

The nineteen cruisers had formed a chaotic gourd-shaped occupancy with five ships at the front and the rest chaotically clustered at the rear, while the five battleships in the west sea area formed a small gourd shape with two in front and three in back.

However, at this time, Lukins has not realized his crisis. He is annoyed by the sinking of the Prinz Eugen. Even if he could go to Berlin, he would be punished by the harsh head of state when he went back. Thinking about it further, if the Atlantic Fleet was buried in the Atlantic Ocean, he was sure that Hitler would kill the whole family.

But he is a proud admiral, and his sense of honor does not allow him to shrink back. Therefore, seeing the Bismarck showing signs of failure under the attack of the enemy's eastern fleet, he carefully avoided the artillery fire from the west, While accelerating to approach the Admiral Hipper, it moved from the position of the gourd head to the tail.

There are too many ships on both sides of this naval battle, and the sea has long since lost its tranquility earlier.The sun is getting brighter and brighter.At eleven o'clock, Sa Zhenbing finally realized his first step plan. Ten ships of his main fleet had been inserted into the central part of the big gourd. Of course, at this time the gourd was basically out of shape, and the protruding One of the five Hulutou ships has been sunk, and three of them have penetrated into the center of the cruiser convoy, and the two sides are using various artillery fire to strangle them at close range.And the other ship unexpectedly escaped westward between the Admiral Hipper and the Bismarck, and unfortunately happened at this moment. The freeboard of the Scharnhorst, which was originally not high, was captured Lu Zuo rammed into the middle, and even more unfortunately, the underwater part of Lu Zuo had terrifying sharp corners.Fortunately, the captain of the Scharnhorst ordered a turn as large as possible at the critical moment, which barely avoided the super impact force of the right ship. Even so, the captain still faced the crew on the Luzo They curse loudly.

Even so, the power system of the Scharnhorst can no longer operate normally. After the huge vibration, there seems to be something wrong with the boiler. Except for a large amount of steam, it seems that it can no longer generate power, and can only maintain 3 knots. speed.

Lukins was so angry that he almost fainted. For him, this was undoubtedly the worst day since the founding of the Atlantic Fleet.He ordered without hesitation that if any more warships escaped, the Bismarck could open fire on any defectors. He could not tolerate such deserters.

While he was cursing, he suddenly found that his flagship had attracted almost all the artillery fire, the vibration had hardly stopped, explosions exploded one after another, and the huge Bismarck had become a living target!It was originally intended to cover other warships that had been severely damaged, but now it has become a shield.While he ordered the Bismarck to turn to avoid the artillery fire, he observed the battle situation at sea.

The current position of the Scharnhorst is exactly in the center of the Bismarck and the opponent's group. All the enemy's submarines have formed a fan-shaped encirclement, and dozens of white waves are breaking through the dense battleship group here!

Sa Zhenbing and his subordinates all opened their eyes wide, waiting for the effect of this wave of torpedo attacks.

Of course, after this hour, our own losses were also very heavy. The Kaiji and Huantai were seriously injured and withdrew from the combat sea area, where they saw the British fleet with the Mi Ziqi flag approaching the battlefield.But Jingqing was still trapped in the chaos, and the flames were soaring into the sky, and it seemed to be abolished.In addition to one of the enemy's escaped and two sunk, four of the enemy's ships have been disabled.In terms of the number of ships, the Eastern Fleet is still relatively weak, but overall it is already superior to the other side.

"Boom..." Several loud noises shook people's eardrums, and Lukins' body was thrown up by a violent explosion. It seemed that the entire command tower was thrown into the air by the explosion. When his body landed , Has already passed out, this time, the flagship Bismarck shared a quarter of dozens of torpedoes, and nearly a dozen torpedoes exploded on the port side of the warship.Once again, this giant ship became the shield of the right ship and fulfilled its duty, but the price was too cruel.

On the high freeboard of the Admiral Hipper, another behemoth, many sailors are jumping into the sea from the right side. Although that is useless, it is better than those idiots on the left jumping in the direction of the torpedo. next move.Three torpedoes accurately hit the Admiral Hipper. It took four to 10 minutes for the ship to sink. After only three years of floating on the sea, this world-renowned warship finally arrived. the end of its life.

Just after this wave of attacks, in retaliation, the German frigate dropped more than a dozen depth charges, immediately blowing up two Chinese submarines, and none of the more than 300 people on the two boats were spared.In contrast, China still took advantage of it this time. At the meager price of two torpedo boats, it exchanged for a battleship Admiral Hipper, and the Germans lost a lot.

At this time, the second wave of torpedo attacks also began. The cruiser group headed by the oldest ship Jingyuan also participated in this attack. More than a dozen torpedoes broke through the waves on the sea where golden snakes danced.

At this time, black smoke was billowing on the sea, and the five-hour naval battle was so intense that it was breathless. The exhausted Nazi sailors hardly noticed this wave of torpedo attacks that could kill them.

At this level, the two sides are completely mechanically firing, moving shells, and adding coal. The two sides on the sea are intertwined, and the enemy and the enemy are indistinguishable.The smoke of gunpowder has already blackened the flag.

The sound of machines was rumbling in the sky, and the aircraft clusters of the two sides were also fighting together. The Lanxiang fighters faced the Ju87 Stuka attack aircraft. The two sides were evenly matched in terms of aircraft performance and piloting skills. A parked plane fell from the sky dragging black smoke and plunged into the icy sea water.But this is a naval battle after all, and the final decisive force lies in the duel of warships.

Just as the torpedo group was moving rapidly towards its target, a change occurred. After struggling for more than 30 minutes, the Admiral Hipper slowly sank to the bottom of the water. The water current on the sea surface was completely disturbed, and all the small objects not far away—fragments, corpses, and moving torpedoes were all sucked into the bottom of the sea by this huge vortex.The remaining torpedoes also deviated from the original channel, and only one hit the cruiser Lüzo at the end of the queue.For this medium-sized cruiser, a [-]-inch torpedo is fatal, and his partner, the Blücher, did not perform his duty of protection at all. After a futile burst of machine gun fire, they gave up their efforts and watched Watching the torpedo explode on the bow of the Lu Zuo, the huge waves set off almost swept all the people on the front deck into the sea.Fortunately, this torpedo did not hit a vital part, but hit the ram.

It was already 1:14 in the afternoon.

"Retreat!" Lukins, who had come to his senses, saw that the situation was over, so he had to grit his teeth and make this decision. The enemy had won overwhelming victories on both the east and west sides. One battleship was lost, and six to eight cruisers had been lost. Except for two battleships, Baiyun and Feiyun, which were severely damaged, one cruiser was sunk, and five or six were seriously injured, the rest of the other warships were also fierce. fight.

Today's strength comparison is that battleships are five against six, cruisers are pitiful against ten, and the flagship Bismarck has hundreds of bombs on it, and it is already crumbling at sea.

And on the far sea, although the cunning British and French warships are still watching from a distance, God knows when they will come and suddenly throw themselves into the battle of beating the dog in the water.

The British are undoubtedly cunning. In contrast, the French have more than enough heart and power. With the strength of their mosquito ships, if they want to join such a large-scale naval battle, they can only serve as cannon fodder.

Lukins saw the weak area in the northwest, and after hesitating for a long time, he ordered the entire fleet to advance at full speed to the northwest!

Amidst the sound of rumbling guns and explosions, the remaining five battleships of the Atlantic Fleet spewed black smoke and rushed to the northwest with full horsepower, while the dozen or so cruisers that surrounded the battle group also began to break through frantically.

"Damn, it's not so easy to run away!" Sa Zhenbing spat hard, and immediately ordered the carrier-based bomber fleet and torpedo fleet to rush over to intercept, and the submarine formation released the third wave of torpedoes.

As a result, the remnants of the Atlantic Fleet were blocked by bombs and torpedoes and could not speed up at all, so they had to turn around and fight again with the Chinese warships that rushed up.

At nearly three o'clock in the afternoon, the fleets of the two sides got closer and closer, gradually forming a circular war zone. During this hour, one battleship on each side was seriously injured. The German ship was Blücher, and the superstructure was hit. During the battle, a chimney was destroyed, and a large amount of smoke and dust could not be dissipated due to the damage of the pipe, so that the full-speed march had to be stopped, and the ensuing artillery fire immediately ignited the superstructure, and the entire ship had lost its combat capability. Unable to bear the high temperature, he had to jump into the sea to survive.The Chinese Dongyun was accurately hit in the abdomen by a torpedo. Fortunately, the explosion of the torpedo did not completely destroy the armor, but the bottom ship had a large degree of water ingress. After some self-rescue, it was hit by a shell again. The rear deck was detonated, some shells were detonated, and the rear deck was almost completely destroyed.

The two ships withdrew from the battle one after another, and were towed by British and French warships to the north and south sea areas respectively.They finally fulfilled their responsibilities as allies a little bit.

In addition, three more cruisers were sunk on the German side. The number of Nazi cruisers has dropped to single digits, while the Singapore fleet still retains [-] cruisers. In terms of battleships, only the flagship Bismarck and Tipinitz remain in the Atlantic Fleet. , China has an absolute advantage, and the balance of victory has been greatly tilted towards Sa Zhenbing.

"Retreat! Bastard, retreat at full speed!" Lukins' voice had become hoarse, and he certainly didn't want to bury his old bones in the Red Sea.

After being hit by more than a dozen shells and torpedoes, the Bismarck fled in a panic to the northwest with the few remaining warships dragging long black smoke.

Resurgence: World War II Chapter 623 Beheading Plan

At this point in the war, the reserves, morale, and physical strength of both sides have almost reached the point where they can't bear it.No one is an iron man.The bodies of the victims on both sides and the fragments of the dead ships floated on the sea, and the smoke mixed with the pungent smell enveloped the entire theater.The sun is already fading in the western sky.

"My lord, do you want to chase him or not?" Liu Shangqing asked Sa Zhenbing for instructions by radio.

"What is there to chase? Our losses are not small. If we fall into the trap of the Germans in order to chase those broken ships, we will only be wiped out." In fact, what Sa Zhenbing is most worried about is that Three nuclear bombs. Fortunately, the aircraft carrier Qiuzi, the core of the fleet, did not suffer any losses due to its back and rear.In addition, six battleships suffered damage to varying degrees, more than a dozen cruisers were seriously or slightly injured, the number of combat personnel was reduced from 360 to 170, and 740 survivors were rescued. .

After eight hours of bitter fighting, the first head-to-head contest between China and Germany came to an end.

Sa Zhenbing immediately reported the results of the naval battle to Beijing. At this time, in the Ministry of the Navy, Liu Buchan and a group of senior naval officials were sitting on pins and needles. On the surface, this was a large-scale naval battle that had nothing to do with the army and air force, but Singapore If the fleet is destroyed, the nuclear explosion plan formulated by the emperor himself will fail, and it will also have a serious impact on the overall situation of the war.

After receiving the news, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and hurriedly reported the battle situation to the emperor. Guan Xuqing was quite satisfied with the result, which fully proved the strength of the imperial navy in ocean-going operations. At this moment, Guan Xuqing was imagining that if What will happen to the navy's main force, the Beiyang Fleet, but the Beiyang Fleet has just experienced the Sino-Japanese War and needs training, so it missed this classic battle in the history of world naval warfare, which is undoubtedly a pity for the passionate Lin Taizeng.

Although Britain and France did not directly participate in the battle, Guan Xuqing immediately ordered Liu Buchan to call Britain and France, thanking the allies of the two countries for their timely assistance, and hoped that the support fleet could escort the Singapore fleet to its destination smoothly. Alexander port.

Britain and France sold a favor to China without a single shot. Of course they were happy, so they quickly replied that they were willing to escort the Allied forces.

At the same time, the foreign ministries of China and Germany announced the news of declaring war on each other almost at the same time, and the media of the two countries reported different results on this incident. A decisive victory was achieved and the strength of the opponent was seriously bruised.But the German media has the cheek to claim that in this battle, the Atlantic Fleet fully demonstrated its strength to China, and it also caused heavy damage to Chinese warships.

In the next few days, under the escort of the British and French fleets, the Singapore fleet successfully arrived at Alexandria Harbor. Here, the commander of the Singapore fleet, Sa Zhenbing, had a cordial meeting with Nassor, the leader of the Egyptian People's Armed Forces, and was also welcomed by the Egyptian people. warm welcome.

The southward advance of Italian fascists and German Nazis made Egypt, an ancient civilization, under the shadow of war. Egypt was also one of the first countries to join the Allies and the League of Nations. Although the Egyptian government fell, Nassor still led his own The armed forces are dealing with the fascist army in the vast desert. As early as half a month ago, Nassor received a telegram from Beijing, which stated that China would take the lead in launching an attack on the German mainland by sea, but there was no mention of atomic bombs in the telegram. Exploding Munich.

Encouraged by China's decision, Nassor and his subordinates immediately assembled most of their troops at the Alexandria Naval Port to provide the best and safest place for Chinese friends.

As soon as Sa Zhenbing and the generals of the Singapore Fleet arrived at the Alexandria Naval Port, they were warmly welcomed by Nassor. The two hugged each other tightly like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years. Nassor was full of tears, as if seeing Like a relative, he held Sa Zhenbing's hand and said: "The Egyptian people welcome you, and we are proud to have a great friend like China."

Sa Zhenbing was also very moved and said: "On behalf of His Majesty the Emperor, I would like to extend my greetings to you and all the heroes who fought against fascism."

While the two were talking cordially, the Egyptians sent a large amount of military supplies to the Chinese warships, but they never dreamed that these warships carried super weapons capable of destroying half of Egypt.

"It's very difficult..." When Sa Zhenbing asked about the anti-fascist struggle in Egypt, Nassor frowned and said, "The strength and equipment of the people's armed forces under my leadership cannot compare with the enemy's. It's Erwin Rommel, this guy is the core military figure of the German Nazis. The African Armored Corps under his command is very powerful. We dare not confront them head-on. We have to join forces with the Ethiopian People's Army in North Africa to fight guerrilla warfare. War and harassment. At present, our strongest support force is the British Commonwealth Army under the command of Claude Auchinleck, the commander of the British Middle East battlefield. Now both sides are gearing up, and they are constantly gathering in the Alamein area, preparing for a large-scale war A decisive battle. China's decision is really wise, and the Egyptian people will never forget their Chinese friends."

After everything was settled, the British and French fleets left the harbor and began to return, because the news just came that the German Navy was preparing to dispatch the North Sea Fleet to cut off the communication between the English Channel and the outside world. The fire once again burned to the doorstep of the British. In the current situation, this oceangoing team must return to rescue. They also hope to reproduce the majesty of the Chinese fleet and beat the Germans to pieces. However, judging from previous confrontations, such an idea is almost a luxury.

After the British and French fleets left, Sa Zhenbing repaired the damaged warship on the one hand, and on the other hand secretly extracted the three nuclear bombs stored in the bottom warehouse of the Qiuzi aircraft carrier, and installed them on three Sirius ocean-going bombers. , as long as Beijing orders, ready to fly to Munich at any time.

These three nuclear bombs were of the same level and belonged to the second batch of super weapons built. They were named "Thunderfire", "Thunderbolt" and "Thunder" by the military command. They were 3 meters long, 71 centimeters wide, and weighed 4000 kilograms.Using a gun-type design, there is a long tube inside, one end is a uranium 235 sphere and a neutron generator, and the other end is a piece of uranium 235 the size of a bullet. The inside of the barrel hits the sphere and neutron generator, triggering a fission reaction.The nuclear bomb contains 235 kilograms of uranium 60 at each moment, only one kilogram of which will undergo nuclear fission in the explosion, and the energy released is approximately equivalent to 235 metric tons of TNT high explosive.
