Chapter 682 The German aircraft carrier fleet raids the Strait of Dover

Just in the disaster-stricken night in the British mainland, in a quiet night that makes people unable to sleep like a dead silent; the local fleet of the British Royal Navy has almost arrived at the Channel Islands to support the Chief of Staff John and others, and the entire English Channel is also gradually changing and is no longer calm.

At least a fierce naval battle seemed to be brewing, as quiet as before the storm, and shocking.

Before the outbreak of World War II, according to some historical information published on the Internet in later generations, many people knew that Britain had 12 main battleships, including Queen Elizabeth-class battleships, Revenge, Nelson-class battleships, and King George V-class battleships.

The battle cruisers include three Hood-class and reputation-class.

8 aircraft carriers; Fury, Athletic God, Eagle, Brave; refers to the Brave, Glory, and Hundred Eyes Giant, Royal Ark, and Unicorn. Finally, there are 3 aircraft carriers such as the Glory (Glory, Victory, Awesome), as well as the Indomitable and Revenge-level aircraft carriers.

There are 18 heavy cruisers, 49 light cruisers, 11 Dido-class air defense cruisers, 7 Fiji-class and 2 Uganda-class under construction. 119 destroyers, 64 frigates, and 45 minesweepers.

There are more than 200 ships, more than 69 submarines, and a total tonnage of 1.3 million tons.

As for Germany's main battleships, 3 battlecruisers, 2 heavy cruisers, 6 light cruisers, 22 destroyers, 20 frigates, 57 submarines, and a total tonnage of about 350,000 tons.

Therefore, from the above data, we can see that before the outbreak of World War II, the British army was not afraid of the German navy at all; we would not be worried about the German army and they were engaged in naval battles in the English Channel.

In fact, the German fleet was really destroyed by Britain during World War II, so in the end, they could only use the wolf pack submarine warfare advocated by Denitz to conduct breaking and interception operations, and to sink and destroy the British naval transport fleet.

But now that Chen Yanlong has an abnormality with a redemption system, the British army dreamed that they would not have imagined that the German army had secretly owned a large number of aircraft carrier troops under their noses, and they were not at ease with the common sense to play cards to fight.

Just like the Royal Navy now, with the assistance of the US military, the aircraft carrier fleet is twice as many as possible, allowing them to dispatch aircraft carrier fleets to participate in Eisenhower's Italian counterattack, and also arrange an aircraft carrier fleet to participate in the operations of Cunningham and Denitz's aircraft carrier fleets, as well as leave an aircraft carrier fleet to protect the local operations.

It was just beyond their wishful thinking that the German army not only suddenly launched a large-scale air strike on the English Channel, but also successfully landed on the Channel Islands, but also was able to dispatch a large number of advanced ocean-going submarine groups and aircraft to intercept their support operations.

The worst thing was that just when the Royal Aircraft Carrier Fleet, which was responsible for guarding the English Channel and protecting the local area, had already seen the German aircraft carrier fleet attacking the port of Ceuta; Denitz suddenly separated an aircraft carrier fleet, bypassed the sea reconnaissance of Cunningham, who had just suffered a defeat, and sailed directly from the North Sea to the Dover Strait.

Then the German aircraft carrying a large number of flares immediately took off from the aircraft carrier to provide lighting instructions for the German night bomber troops, and went directly to the British mainland to conduct sneak attacks and bombardment.

As for the German minesweeper boats, they are also in full swing, clearing all British mines and mine areas deployed in the English Channel and the Dover Channel.

"Boom! Rumble..."

Soon the entire British Dover port was subjected to violent air strikes.

"boom!"

Then the German battleship Tilbiz instantly bombed with a deafening sound of naval guns, opening the prelude to the naval battle at Dover.

This large-scale bombing from the beginning to the last side was suddenly started when all the British had never expected it.

Subsequently, under the long-range bombardment of the huge naval guns on the German battleship Tilbiz, one high-explosive shell after another, cutting through the Dover port where the stars became dimmer and the weather and air became colder.

At the same time, the bombing of the night bomber groups was constantly mixed with the swaying mountain, leaving the entire Dover Strait in the shadow of war, and people and officers and soldiers were constantly injured and killed.

Even the French people who had already slept on the other side were frightened by such a sudden bombardment and ran out of their homes to see what happened.

Especially the French residents in the areas of Calais and Dunkirk in France were evacuating quickly and looking for places to take refuge.

"It was the German bombing, they are here!"

"Escape quickly! There are a lot of their planes and fleets!"

"Where is our troops? Why haven't they appeared yet!"
