Jagged Germany

Chapter 634: surrender

  It goes without saying how powerful the German Navy's aircraft are. The German Navy's planes launched two rounds of attacks before, causing the United Fleet to lose ten battleships, which directly put the United Fleet at a disadvantage before the main confrontation began. Now, those planes are at it again. This undoubtedly posed a fatal threat to the battlecruiser "Tiger".

  The number of aircraft in the sky is not many, only four fighters, 8 bombers and 8 torpedo attack aircraft. Admiral Reinhard Scheer asked the aircraft carrier to dispatch carrier-based aircraft to attack the Allied warships that escaped. As for those who cannot escape, the capital ships of the High Seas Fleet will deal with them. Therefore, these carrier-based aircraft are scattered attacks.

  'Tiger' battlecruiser, as the most powerful battlecruiser of the Royal Navy. Although it cannot be compared with the powerful battlecruisers of the German Navy, it is also not to be underestimated. It's just that the current battlecruiser "Tiger" is like meat on a chopping board, allowing the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft to slaughter it.

  ‘Phew! call out! call out! '

  The squadron leader in charge of directing this operation fired three flares with a flare gun. Immediately, these carrier-based aircraft rushed towards the battlecruiser 'Tiger' and launched an attack.

  Four fighter jets took the lead in attacking, shooting the deck of the battleship 'Tiger' and the anti-aircraft gun positions with aviation machine guns.

   The battlecruiser 'Tiger' was equipped with a lot of anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns. If bombers and torpedo attack planes attack rashly, they are very likely to be shot down by the anti-aircraft firepower of the battlecruiser 'Tiger'. At this time, the fighter jets played the role of covering the attacks of bombers and torpedo attack planes.

"Da da da!"

  The fighter jet quickly passed the battlecruiser 'Tiger'. The dense bullets of aviation machine guns hit the steel plate of the battleship, shooting sparks one by one. Occasionally, a bullet hit the body of a British naval soldier, making that frightening "puff" sound.

   There were screams one after another, and many British naval soldiers were torn to pieces.

  When the anti-aircraft firepower of the battlecruiser 'Tiger' was attracted by the fighter jets, the bombers and torpedo attack aircraft took the opportunity to launch an attack. The four bombers dived and dropped bombs from a high altitude. When they were only 800 meters away from the battlecruiser 'Tiger', they dropped the bombs and changed their dive course.

  Four bombs hit the battlecruiser 'Tiger' in a parabola.

   "Evade! Evade! German bombs!"

  The battleship 'Tiger' started an emergency turn to avoid bombs falling from the sky. Of the four bombs, three fell into the sea. But the other one hit the battlecruiser 'Tiger'.

  The aerial bomb weighing 250 kilograms has an extremely powerful armor-piercing ability under the action of huge potential energy. The deck armor of the battlecruiser 'Tiger' was torn apart in an instant. The bomb penetrated the deck armor and exploded inside, destroying several compartments.

   While the bomber was bombing, four torpedo attack planes also took the opportunity to attack. They dropped torpedoes only 500 meters away from the battlecruiser 'Tiger'. Four 450mm medium-sized torpedoes quickly rushed towards the battlecruiser 'Tiger'.

   "Torpedo, torpedo spotted on port side. Urgent evasion!"

  The battlecruiser 'Tiger' once again started an emergency turn. The centrifugal force threw some unprepared naval soldiers on the deck directly into the sea there. However, no one cares about them at this time.

   To avoid being hit by a torpedo. The battlecruiser 'Tiger' made an emergency turn. However, it will undoubtedly take a certain amount of time for a huge battlecruiser to complete its turn. The four torpedoes rushing at high speed would not give them so much time at all.

   "Boom!"

  A violent explosion sounded on the port side of the battlecruiser 'Tiger'. Only 9 inches or 228 mm thick waterline armor, simply can not resist the warhead of medium-sized torpedoes.

  The huge power directly tore the waterline armor, blasting a big hole.

   Immediately afterwards, another explosion sounded, and the stern of the battlecruiser 'Tiger' was hit by a torpedo. The violent explosion blew up the steering gear of the battlecruiser 'Tiger'.

  The other two torpedoes, although they did not hit the battlecruiser 'Tiger'. However, after being hit by two torpedoes, the battlecruiser "Tiger" has been severely damaged.

   "General, the steering gear has been blown up, and we have lost the ability to turn." An officer reported to Lieutenant General David Betty with a mournful face.

   "Damn it!" Lieutenant General David Betty couldn't help cursing.

   Lost the ability to turn, which means that the battlecruiser "Tiger" will become a living target, allowing the enemy to attack. At this moment, above the head of the battlecruiser "Tiger", there are still many German planes circling. These planes are all carrying bombs and torpedoes.

  The carrier-based aircraft of the German Navy seized the opportunity of the battlecruiser "Tiger" being severely damaged, and then launched an attack. After losing the steering ability, the attack of the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft will undoubtedly hit the target more easily.

  In the new round of attacks, four bombers dropped bombs, and three of them hit the battlecruiser 'Tiger'. The four medium-sized torpedoes launched by the four torpedo attack aircraft all hit.

  Suddenly, several large holes were blown out on the port side of the battlecruiser 'Tiger'. The damage control personnel could only do nothing about this, allowing seawater to pour into the battleship.

    David? Beatty Lieutenant General had to order to abandon the ship. Soon, the battlecruiser 'Tiger' capsized on the surface of the sea and sank into the sea.

  Four battleships of the French Navy and two battleships of the Italian Navy also failed to escape.

   Admiral Lame and Paul were terrified when dozens of carrier-based planes caught up with them. They witnessed with their own eyes how these planes of the German Navy sank their warships.

  So, in order to save their own lives, Admiral Lame and Admiral Paul issued an order to surrender. They let the soldiers hoist the white flag, and at the same time they shut down the boilers and stopped the advance.

  The actions of the French and Italians surprised the pilots of the carrier-based aircraft. However, since the French and Italians chose to surrender, they continued to attack every year, but hovered over the fleet.

   Fortunately, the fleet led by Lieutenant General Spee arrived. Received these surrendered French and Italian battleships. However, it was later discovered that Admiral Lame and Admiral Paul had already fled first on a destroyer. But being able to capture six battleships still made the German Navy very satisfied.
