Chapter 2171 Blood Fire Estuary 4

In less than half an hour, the British attempt to penetrate the defense network has failed, and what is even more pitiful is that the British bombers can't escape even if they want to! Being chased and killed by German twin-engined fighter jets like maggots attached to their bones!

The British bombers hurriedly dropped bombs one after another to reduce their load, but unfortunately, they still couldn't get rid of those agile killers. Accompanied by the continuous firing of machine guns, one after another shells flew freely in the air, the British were in a hail of bullets. Struggling hard, the engine roared again and again unwillingly. However, in the end, it could not prevent most of the bombers from turning into groups of dazzling flames in the sky.

This rather tragic struggle of the British was just a farce in the eyes of the Germans, and it had no effect other than using their own blood to explain the strength of the German navy and air force. Ruprecht didn't consider the invasion of the British Air Force at all, and he didn't even consider the result of this shelling, because in his view, the latter no longer had to be considered, because the shells invested were enough, and the result would naturally be good!

The main battery of a Bavarian-class battleship is about 1,000 rounds. These ammunition weighs more than 800 tons if the propellant is not included! Then 12 Bavarian-class battleships are tens of thousands of tons of ammunition! Plus the main and secondary gun ammunition of other battleships. Even if the German Navy only fired one-third of the ammunition this time, there would be an output of more than 10,000 tons! The so-called bombers really can't compete with the main fleet of the High Seas Fleet! As long as it is within reach, the output of the German fleet's bombardment for 3 hours can be bombed 10 times by thousands of bombers! And the target is just a few small towns at the mouth of the river!

"Where is the British fleet now?" Ruprecht asked.

"According to the situation reported by our long-range reconnaissance plane, the British fleet did leave the Firth of Forth today, but they never left the cover of the naval and land-based air force in the Firth of Firth. They just walked south and then turned back. But this time they did not return directly to Hong Kong, but practiced gunnery." Admiral Scheer said.

"Is there any other news?" The crown prince asked with a slight frown.

"We saw a warship similar to an aircraft carrier in the formation of the Grand Fleet this time, which released planes to expel our long-range reconnaissance planes. According to intelligence, the other party seems to have some tricks." Admiral Scheer said.

"Do their aircraft carriers take off and land a lot of planes?" Ruprecht asked another question that he was very concerned about. Historically, British aircraft carriers did not carry many aircraft, but on this plane, who knows? Woolen cloth?

"It seems that there are not many. According to the intelligence sent by a reconnaissance plane that ventured close to the British fleet, there are no planes on their deck." Admiral Scheer said.

"Then I'm relieved." Ruprecht said with a long breath. Why can a German aircraft carrier such as Wittelsbach hold more than 80 aircraft? Not only because of the large hangars and hanging tickets, but more importantly, more than 40% of the planes are thrown on the deck! For all the aircraft carriers before the end of World War II, if they did not use tethering, then even the aircraft carriers with double-layer hangars would not have too much aircraft.

As for whether the British will deliberately empty the deck? How do you say this? Deck tethered aircraft can certainly increase the number of aircraft, but at the same time it also brings trouble to the operation of the aircraft. It does not mean that you can add it if you want in a short time. At least it was like this when everyone first started playing aircraft carriers in the case of World War I! Therefore, since the British sailed to the side of the Luftwaffe this time, there is no reason for them not to follow the normal configuration. What if the Luftwaffe really concentrated a group of K8 bombers and rushed over? In this era of air warfare,

Heavy bombers are actually not bad....

"Hehe, Jericho has a keen sense of smell." Ruprecht was not disappointed that the Jericho fleet was not caught, but what really caught Ruprecht's attention was that Jericho knew the final The final battle is coming, and the final preparations have begun. And now, the fact that the British can come up with a makeshift aircraft carrier unit is enough to prove Jericho's vicious vision.

"It's almost time to call it a day. This time, we will let the British fleet gradually get used to our operation process!" Ruprecht said after thinking for a while.

From the first gunshot, the German fleet spent a full 3 hours completely erasing all military targets in these three British estuary cities from the ground! The craters with a depth of several meters, piles of ruins and twisted machines silently told people what happened in this area just now and the powerful firepower of the High Seas Fleet. The wreckage of the plane scattered on the ground foreshadowed the failure of the British Air Force's desperate blow!

With the completion of the mission, the German High Seas Fleet began to shrink, and the huge T-shaped array was reorganized into a square array suitable for navigation. Surrounded by ships, they embarked on their way home. They needed to return to Wilhelmshaven when the tide was high in the afternoon. After a short rest, they would pass through the Kiel Canal tomorrow and enter various bases of the German Navy on the Baltic Sea coast.

"The German fleet just left?" At this moment, in the basement under the prime minister's residence in London, Prime Minister Asquith, breathing the foul air, said coldly.

"Yes, all the industrial facilities and ports in Kingston, Crimson, and Brig were completely destroyed. Their attacks were more terrifying than the bombings of bombers." The Secretary of War, Lloyd George, sighed and said.

"How many times will the Germans do this again? Are they going to turn the entire eastern seaboard of England into a piece of scorched earth? These crazy guys!" Asquith's angry voice echoed in the basement.

"We really don't know about this." Lloyd George said as he wiped his cold sweat.

However, what Lloyd George can't explain clearly doesn't mean that no one in the UK can explain clearly! At this time, Jericho was discussing with his staff the situation of the bombardment of the German Navy today. Of course, they were definitely not discussing how to engage the High Seas Fleet under the cover of the German Air Force, but wanted to draw conclusions through various analysis. The current state of the High Seas Fleet! Messy information that is worthless in the eyes of laymen can be sorted out into very important information in the eyes of professionals!

Just at the Kingston power plant that the Germans had just bombarded, a group of people from the British Navy were collecting fragments of shells, and not far from the port, another team of the British Navy was discussing something with the personnel who came from the outpost. All the information obtained will eventually become the basis for the judgment of Jericho and others!
