Chapter 642 The pride of the Navy 1)
The first one to take off was the swordfish bomber. At this time, they were not carrying torpedoes, but mines. Their mission was to lay mines at the port to prevent French warships from rushing out of the port.
It's very simple. It's easy to fight when you close the door. As long as the French warships can't come out of the port, it will take a minute to eliminate them.
Just as the swordfish bomber took off from the deck of the aircraft carrier, the school-firing planes were also rapidly ejecting and taking off from various battleships.
In later generations, ordinary warships were loaded with helicopters, but now, large warships were loaded with seaplanes. They took off with catapults on warships. When landing, they landed directly on the sea surface and then waited for their warships to be recycled by cranes.
In the middle of the ship's side of the Warrior, a super Marlin walrus water reconnaissance plane was hurriedly ejected into the air. It was a biplane reconnaissance plane that could also carry out artillery fire.
The open canopy cover, which was always British, was at this time, behind the cabin, George, an observer who was responsible for artillery shooting missions, felt the huge impact and rose up with the carrier-based aircraft flying into the air.
Every time I take off, it feels like I was kicked hard on the smooth ground. This feeling is really unpleasant!
In a few seconds of dizziness, George adapted to the flight. The pilot in the front cabin had already flown the plane and raised his height. On the side of the defense of the wave, the French battleships were arranged neatly and had not started to move their positions. This was the best opportunity!
Holding the optical instrument, George was measuring quickly, while constantly reporting: "Distance, 15,340 meters, orientation, 60 degrees, 30 minutes, 2 seconds, the first test shot, start!"
"Boom!" The Warriors here quickly opened fire and began a test fire according to the data provided by the school-fired plane.
With a beautiful track, the shells flew over and hit the breakwater!
If it was on a warship, then I didn’t know how far this shooting was from the target, and it was blocked by the anti-wave leverage. However, everything could be seen clearly on the high school shooting plane!
"Close the bullets, raise them up one point, and shoot them together!" George shouted excitedly. His shells were only a few dozen meters away from the French flagship, Dunkirk. As long as the elevation angle is raised by a small point, they can hit it! At the same time, his shells all hit the opponent's warship, and they can kill the French flagship with one shot!
It's exciting enough to think about it.
"Rise the anchor," here, General Jean Suer was also giving orders.
Staying here, they have to be beaten, and they have to move, even if the steam pressure is temporarily insufficient, they have to move it!
What to rely on? Of course it is a tug!
Compared with the steam engines of battleships, the tugboats are almost all made of diesel engines, and they can move as soon as they are activated. At this time, they can only rely on the tugboats to let them maneuver first, even if they turn around first, so that they can enter a combat state!
"Boom, boom!" The 381mm shell flew over again!
This time, the accuracy of the British warship is indeed high enough!
They almost flew over the heads of French warships, splashing into the sea next to them, and a tugboat was even almost overturned by the splash of water!
"Far-bomb!" In the sky, George looked at everything on the sea with great depression. This time, he actually shot far! When he was shooting at school just now, he forgot to consider the speed of his warship!
It's so damn!
But this time, you won't be wrong again!
Just as he was planning to continue shooting, he only felt his plane turning rapidly, and in an instant, he could not see the sea.
At the same time, shells flew past his fighter plane, and black smoke exploded in the sky not far away.
Anti-aircraft guns!
Of course the French Navy noticed this school-firing plane, which was the first target they had to deal with, although the distance was a bit far away!
On the French warships here, various types of anti-aircraft guns, whether they are reaching or not, are shooting into the sky. Even if they cannot shoot down the opponent, they will only hurt it or even interfere with its flight, which is also useful!
At the same time, the school-firing planes on the French warships also took off. They wanted to command their own warships and attack the British navy here!
The battle will last forever!
At the same time, the news of the fire exchange here was quickly transmitted back to France.
The room was not big, and the smell of smoke was everywhere. Dallang closed his eyes and didn't want to speak, while Pierre's words were constantly coming into his mind.
"Now, our warships are in a hurry to fight and may suffer a great loss. Only by seeking help from Germany can we help our navy." Pierre said.
Refer to Germany? Where is the pride of the French Navy? Dallang is very contradictory.
The Navy is different from the Army.
Germany can ask France to have no army, but not kill all the French navy, because the French navy is not within Germany's control.
Moreover, the Navy is proud.
At that time, when World War I ended, Britain and France drove all German warships to Scapa Bay, hoping to take these warships for themselves.
What happened? The Germans cheated them, and at the end, they sank all the warships. The British got nothing and were so happy.
Therefore, Germany did not ask the French navy to do anything. After all, it was uncontrollable. If the French were forced to sink all their warships, it would be of no benefit to Germany.
In history, it has happened that the French fleet's warships sank to the Port of Toulon, making Hitler lose his life.
Now, the British were unable to calm down and fired at the French fleet, which was equivalent to giving Germany a chance!
Dallang didn't want to have anything to do with Germany, but now he has to endure the possible defeat of the French fleet. His mind was a little confused and he didn't know what to do.
"Report, Governor Farkenhausen is here." At this moment, an adjutant came in and reported.
At this time, France had completed the surrender ceremony and was divided into two parts. In the northern part of France, the German Frenchman Farkenhausen performed the duties of governor of military and political integration.
Now that Governor Farkenhausen has come here, everyone is stunned.
"Please come in." Betton said quickly.
