"Start!" After receiving the Crown Prince's permission, the German High Seas Fleet aircraft carrier detachment received the first opportunity to fight in the North Sea. The light cruisers and destroyers escorted the aircraft carriers unfolded around to form a circular defense circle. The two aircraft carriers began to enter the headwind to prepare for the release of the aircraft.&1t;/p>

At this time, on the USS Vettelsbach aircraft carrier, 40 carrier-based aircraft were neatly arranged on the deck of more than 20 meters. The front was the bomber of the G bomb, and at the end, the ju5 torpedoes carrying two torpedoes of 45okg and 55okg. The motive preheating of all aircraft has been completed and can take off at any time.&1t;/p>

"Start take off!" When the aircraft carrier reached 25 knots per hour, combined with the wind on the sea, the synthetic wind passed 35 knots! It was far higher than the requirement for the aircraft to take off, and the ground crew standing on the deck had to command the takeoff and landing of the aircraft in the strong wind.&1t;/p>

The folding wings of the first batch of aircraft have been opened. The ground crew checked the aircraft for the last time and immediately evacuated. The windshield plate on the front of the aircraft carrier was lowered. As the front signal lights of the aircraft carrier turned from red to green, the pilot put down the brakes. The first aircraft began to take off along the center of the runway!&1t;/p>

The fighter took off smoothly under light load, and even the front runway was not used up. Then, the remaining ground crew pushed other aircraft to the center of the runway and took off again, releasing the carrier-based aircraft at a rate of about 25 to 40 seconds. After 20 minutes, all 4o aircraft took off and flew to the target area after completing the marshalling in the air.&1t;/p>

Among these aircraft, fighter jets do not carry radio equipment. Some of the ju5 torpedo planes were converted into reconnaissance planes. They carried radio equipment and friendly reconnaissance planes and aircraft carriers for contact and navigation. The other aircraft accompanied the guide aircraft, and the two aircraft carriers took off a total of 80 aircraft. Except for about 20 fighters, the rest were bombers and torpedo planes!&1t;/p>

Just before the aircraft carrier released the aircraft, led by the German Fourth Battleship Detachment, two complete destroyer detachments have sailed towards Neptune, and they will be responsible for the finishing work after the aircraft carrier attack is over! In principle, it is best not to miss any of the British naval officers and soldiers above, either kill or catch them!&1t;/p>

"The target is present, but it seems that there are no escort warships around?" An hour later, the leading aircraft group finally appeared the Neptune battleship alone on the sea. According to previous judgment, this should be a real thing. After all, when the reconnaissance aircraft conducts close reconnaissance, the opponent's counterattack is still in order.&1t;/p>

"It's normal. The main battleship can't run away. Those destroyers still have a chance, but it's okay, there's no one around, and our secrets will not be revealed." The bomb dropper sitting in the back seat said. "Then let's start. There's very little breakfast today, and everyone needs to grab it!" After saying that, the driver in the front seat signaled the latter to prepare and the attack began!&1t;/p>

"It's the German bomber!" At this time, the sea fog had dissipated part of it. When the lookout on the Neptune saw the coming German bomber group, the Luftwaffe was already very close, and it was not even time to report it! 8o various aircraft were like a huge double-decker in the air. The bomber was relatively high, while the torpedo aircraft lowered its height early. This time, facing an old dreadnought, the German naval aviation team, which was a little urgent, rushed up without hesitation. However, the most basic tactical principle still needs to be discussed. A squadron of fighters dived down and used the 2omm machine guns and large-caliber machine guns they carried to suppress the anti-aircraft fire!&1t;/p>

So, the firepower of large-caliber machine guns and machine guns over 4o covered the ship's deck. As a series of brass shells were thrown out, fire snakes twisted their deadly bodies on the deck of Neptune. The shields installed by the British for anti-aircraft machine guns could not stop the armor-piercing and high-explosive bombs fired from all directions. With a burst of flames and the roar of the machine gun, a group of soldiers swept down like they were being cut from wheat. The remaining people hurriedly hid in the adjacent cabin and hid. In the first round of attack, the British radio antenna and the newspaper room below were destroyed!&1t;/p>

The machine gun suppression did not last long. A few minutes later, the first wave of bombers flew over the target with 25okg half-armor-piercing missiles. The first group of bombers entered from the bow and passed through the stern. The 5 and half-armor-piercing bombs were thrown down. A few seconds later, three flames soaring into the sky rose from the poor battleship!&1t;/p>

Although the semi-armor-piercing bomb cannot penetrate the horizontal armor of the core compartment of the battleship, it can easily penetrate the upper and middle decks. A bomb drilled into the middle deck of the battleship, and then the fuse located at the bottom of the bomb was activated! A total of 15 kg of explosives was detonated. With a violent explosion, the flames and shock waves produced by the picolic acid explosive swept across everything that they encountered in the body. The fragile compartment partitions, pipes and lines were directly torn into pieces, and the decks were blown away by violent explosions. From the air, you can even see a hole that is more than ten meters long! This is what the bomb opened from the inside of the hull after it exploded!&1t;/p>

When the smoke from the first wave of bombing was still spreading, the first wave of torpedo aircraft also entered the attack channel. At this time, the British did not have enough manpower to deal with the torpedo aircraft troops attacking from the sea. Therefore, the bold German pilot directly adjusted the attack distance to within 6 oo meters!&1t;/p>

"Enough, throw away the torpedo quickly! Otherwise we will hit it!" The pilot shouted at the battleship superstructure that had already filled the entire field of vision.&1t;/p>

"Go to you!" At a distance of 45o meters, the bomb dropper in the back seat decisively shot a torpedo! Before he could get up, the pilot in the front seat couldn't wait to pull it up. A torpedo drew a white line and rushed towards the warship in the distance. After more than ten seconds, with a loud bang, the Neptune in the distance suddenly tilted to one side!&1t;/p>

"The power of the No. 4 torpedo is still a little small." In the distance, the personnel on a Ju5 bomber code-named audience recorded the effect of this lightning strike very well. It is different from the bomber's bombing. The torpedo aircraft attacks in small batches and multiple attacks to calculate the underwater protection capabilities of British warships.&1t;/p>

"This time it was normal. The hit just now hit the middle of the hull, and the waterline defense was the best place. And according to our intelligence, in order to improve the underwater protection, the British put some cabins full of cork to absorb the energy generated by the explosion and prevent water from entering. Previously, the old antiques of their 10th cruiser team used similar methods, and the effect was said to be good." Another person said.&1t;/p>
