Chapter 3: Gaining Power
.The Third Reich under Ten Thousand Characters Volume 5: Battle of Britain Chapter 3: Gain power
Linchen, just as dawn broke out, the majestic battle horn sounded: "Die bravely in battle! German navy soldiers!"
This is not a roar, nor is it a bluff, it is a vow shouted from the deepest part of the hearts of some naval soldiers who long to rise.
A group of soldiers who have been suppressed for too long, trying to end their destiny. The warships do not sink and fight endlessly. This is a war without gunfire and smoke, but its power is greater and more threatening than shells. Every message sent from Admiral Grafspei represents Hans Longsdolph to report the speed and directional coordinates of an enemy warship to the main fleet.
Hans Longsdolph was definitely a qualified German soldier. During the Battle of Norway, the attack ship of Admiral Grafspe, who was commanded by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, was valuable and courageous. His tactics were elusive.
There would be such an evaluation: Hans Longsdolf fully developed the so-called wartime humanitarian relief spirit in the international historiography of the international historiography to help the British naval forces fall into the water. Afterwards, through the propaganda of several British newspapers, Hans Longsdolf and his Admiral Grafspe attack ship had a very favorable impression in the eyes of the British.
From here, we also understand that sometimes the so-called falsehood is really cute, which makes people feel inexplicable and ridiculous. The West calls this gentlemanly behavior, a gentlemanly behavior in wartime...
After a temporary stop in power, Hans Longsdolph turned his attention to the Dover Sea in the direction of the British. According to the report of the Lookout Hand, he could fully judge that this fleet with a huge organization and hundreds of civilian ships was the rescue fleet mentioned by the Supreme Command. The fleet consisting of three battleships, one battleship cruiser, one heavy cruiser, two light cruiser, and ten destroyers should be the warship guard group of the civilian fleet.
Hans Longsdolph had reason to believe that the British Navy dispatched more than this number of warships, and it was not discovered that it was because the British Navy left the rear guard's battleship formation in the rear. This is also the most suitable tactic for forming a group of warships. Once the enemy fleet is discovered, the warship guard group in the rear can choose a flexible tactical formation and quickly set up a reasonable tactical formation to encircle and annihilate the invading enemy ships.
Hans Longsdolph suddenly felt like he was playing with fire. The fire would soon burn him to himself, burning everyone on Admiral Grafspe. He asked himself what to do, whether to restore his motivation to leave here, or stay here and wait for the war to be captured or sunk. As a soldier's consciousness, he chose to stay here and continue to observe the movements of the British fleet. The main fleet in the rear needed him to report his coordinates and then choose the time to launch a sudden attack. The enemy ships will find our existence in five minutes."
Hanslongsdorf shook his head, as if he wanted to throw out the idea that shouldn't exist in his head. He looked at the deputy captain, turned his head to look at the first mate, then stared at the helmsman and asked, "Are you scared?"
The helmsman is a very young man. His name is Capello. He stood at attention, then smiled shyly, raised his hand to touch the military cap on his head: "Don't be afraid. Captain!"
"Okay! Good boy..." Hanslongsdorf walked towards the captain's command position and shouted at the sound tube: "Attention for all members..., all members should be careful! Captain, wait for orders at any time and prepare to restore power. The auxiliary captain and the commander of the battle came to the bridge command room to report. The main gun gunner. Reply!"
A voice penetrated in, and it was a strong voice: "Main gun captain, online!"
Hans Longsdolph interrogated one by one.
Then, a series of sounds sounded:
"Anti-aircraft gunner, online!"
"Main gun deputy gunman, online!"
"Torpedo long, online!"
"Communication Chief, online!"
"Orthal Chief. Online..."
"deck……"
What is this? This is a warship, and all its members are ready. Always wait for the signal of death.
The communication commander on Admiral Grafspe and a group of people who were looking for help reported the position of the enemy ship. Then the communication commander quickly sorted out and asked the communications soldiers to forward the aircraft carrier Seedlitz of the main fleet. Erich Redel would make the correct judgment and grasp the attack time.
They are like parts on a clock, and everyone takes on the role of every part. This is the German army, and they are so responsible.
If anyone is the most nervous, it is definitely not the captain of a warship, but the observer in the position of the gun mount. Whether the target will hit the target every time the fire is fired does not depend on the captain, but the responsibility of the observer. What the observer currently needs is good eyesight and timely correct judgment. They do not have too many instruments to assist in observing the target. Every time they shoot, they need to observe the gunner. Even if the shooting angle is perfect, it can even ensure that one cannon sinks the enemy ship without the permission of the main gun captain.
HNA is the most concerned about unity and cooperation. There is no so-called personal responsibility on the warship. Any private action may cause members of the entire warship to be buried. This is also the main reason why the review conditions of naval soldiers are stricter than other types of troops. No one wants the existence of madmen on their warships.
"His captain, Commander General Erich Redel has issued an offensive order. The first wave of attack is expected to be carried out in two minutes. General Flick asked, what are the requirements for Admiral Grafspe?" Hu pondered for a while and laughed cheerfully: "Reply: Germany should not forget us, and do not forget everyone on Admiral Grafspe, and please remember Admiral Grafspe!"
He didn't know that it was not only Admiral Grafspe who made the same request. In the other two directions, a Z-class destroyer and a P-class attack ship were also on the same mission.
These three warships serving as front-range scouts all understand that this mission will last forever. They may be afraid or unwilling to perform such a mission. But one thing is certain, no matter how unwilling they are, as a soldier, they will never have the power to refuse!
With a loud bang without warning, a fireball appeared on the top of the commander tower of the Queen Elizabeth-class warship battleship in the British Navy warship guarding group, and the entire commander tower was tilted to the west. A sound of ropes crunching - creaking - kept making noises.
"The first hit the enemy ship's Battleship War Warfare! The enemy ship commander tower is invalid, and the ship's chimney is damaged!"
A ton battleship hitting the Commander Tower may not be a fatal injury, but it lost its command center in an instant and the chimney was damaged, causing the movement of the entire battleship to lose its trajectory. It began to blindly change its course, and the tight pulling sound of the steel cable was not interrupted.
The battleship of the War War was hit, and a big hole was blasted into the east side of the Battlecruiser Hood in a loud bang.
All this came too suddenly. The falling shells bombarded the middle of the British Navy warship guard group, and water columns were blasted out. Some of the hit warships did not adjust their ship positions privately. The British Navy warship guard group looked very much like the knights of the Middle Ages. They continued to move forward without moving forward, only the movement of the main guns to adjust the gun seats showed that they were not dead and were not beaten.
The British Navy commander who commanded this warship guard group was definitely a qualified naval commander. After suffering a sudden attack, he was the first to judge that the attack came from the east and immediately ordered the main guns of all warships to make a turn. However, he did not order the warships to open fire, but ordered the warships to change the order of the fixed direction. The z-shaped navigation method was adopted. The fleet also quickly left the civilian fleet and formed a defensive formation.
The four double turrets of the two battleships of the imperial power class were quickly debugged, and the main gun also made an elevation action. The first wave of tentative attacks was launched immediately. The eight 381mm main guns emitted thick black smoke. Amid the roar, the battleship of the Revenge seemed to be suddenly pushed by some force, and the battleship made an extremely sloping posture.
The British Navy's warships continued to fire. No one knew who they were shooting at, but they only knew that the shells flying from the east had been hitting the center of the battleship formation. Some were hit with black smoke. The figures of British Navy repairmen and deckmen began to appear on the deck. These British Navy soldiers were tied with a protective rope around their waists. In the heavy rain, they were like a group of busy workers ants repairing loopholes.
"The first wave of attacks sank enemy ships; two destroyers F-class destroyers, one B destroyer. One destroyer A and one C destroyer. The Battleship War-Warning lost its main power and is trying to escape from the combat formation. The Hood battleship was seriously damaged on the east side of the battlecruiser and had already shown an inclined posture."
Hans Longsdolph gasped and no longer needed to report. The water columns rising around the warship made him realize that his warship had been discovered by the British Navy: "Quick! Captain of the Engineer, restore power!"
As the distance continues to get closer, it is not difficult for the British Navy to discover an enemy reconnaissance ship that is in a floating state. The British Navy also made the right choice and sank the enemy's warships found at all costs. However, due to the distance, the British Navy pointed out that it would only choose to use a 152mm secondary gun to attack the warships found. When the main gun is attacked by an unknown fleet, it will not attack the target at a close range. Its function is to use long-range distances to eliminate all enemy ships that threaten their own safety.
Hans Longsdolph was making a futile command, and it took a long time for a warship to recover power. Obviously, the British Navy would not make a low-level mistake again. A shot of Admiral Grafspe's armour was dug up there, and then the second shell hit the main armor belt at the stern...
The other two warships on reconnaissance missions were also bombarded by the British Navy. The facts once again proved that no matter how suddenly a naval power suffered, her reaction speed would never be too slow. Admiral Grafspe lost contact."
Frick's warship formation had already joined the battle directly. He heard the news and did not make any statement. Before he could even mourn, the long-term report of the war situation started to sound again.
"His Excellency Commander, Commander Erich Redel, commander-in-chief, order you to send a new reconnaissance ship!"
Obviously, after losing Admiral Grafspe, Frick's fire support formation lost a pair of important eyes. In order to fill in the eyes, Erich Redell asked to send a new warship as a reconnaissance ship to approach the British Navy warship guard group, which in itself was not wrong.
"Let..." Frick felt extremely painful. He lost the Admiral Grafspe, the most brilliant record in the combat formation. Now he had to dispatch new warships to fill in the loopholes. God knew what Frick was thinking, and his eyes turned outside: "Order Admiral Sher to fill in the position of Grafspe!"
At this moment, Frick felt a sense of helplessness.
Admiral Schell soon left the formation and sailed forward. Its bridge command room. Captain Clark delivered a speech to his subordinates with a serious expression. This was not a battlefield mobilization. He deeply expressed his missing of all the members of Admiral Grafspe and admired all the members of Admiral Grafspe.
Clark said the same words as Hans Longsdolph: "Go to death bravely! German navy soldiers!"
No sacrifice; no victory.
Germany is not afraid of sacrifice, Germany is only afraid of not being able to win. She has failed once, and that deep-rooted failure has caused all Germans to fall into an unavoidable nightmare. Never expect that the Germans who have failed once will look at the victory and defeat with a normal attitude. These officers who have experienced failure would rather choose death than face failure.
Under the inevitable historical factors, a large army of officers used its unique influence to cultivate a new generation of Germans, and taught them that victory was more important than living. There is a famous saying in the Third Reich of Germany. That famous saying highlights the helplessness of this nation and makes the world understand the Germans' determination to fight to the end.
"Even if we all die in battle, Germany will still exist!"
What kind of oath is this? When the body makes such an oath, external forces are already difficult to change the thoughts of the Germans and even the collective Germans. As long as the Germans do not lose their spiritual leaders, this nation will never go to destruction.
Many people don’t understand why a nation makes such a vow that is not afraid of sacrifice and even desires to face death calmly. Perhaps only by being in it can you truly understand the meaning of this vow.
When the oppressed people changed into military uniforms and lined up in an order, yelling: "Even if we all die in battle, Germany will still exist!" and walked towards the battlefield...
The nightmare of the world has begun.
If you want to destroy this nation, you can only kill all the men of this nation. You also have to slap all the conscious young people of this nation and kill all the people who have been branded with this nation. Sometimes even women cannot be spared...
Is it possible? It is really possible! There is nothing impossible in this world, especially in the war years, where anything impossible can happen.
For example: In the Far East in 37 years, a country in the world issued that appeal and implemented it very seriously. Or in 40 years, military operations based on the Tuguang Policy were also under the launch of Southeast Asia.
There is no truth in the world, and truth is built under force, just like now...
The waterproof cabin armor of the Schanehorst was hit by artillery fire, which made Adolf Venier a little angry and shouted desperately: "Let's fire, fire!"
In fact, no one birded him. Of course, the main gun captain knew to fire, but the captain had the final say. I made up my mind to make the decision. Professionals always had their own reasons for their existence.
Adolf Venier didn't have many choices for the dense enemy warship group. He had lost two Z-class destroyers. Because the British Navy reacted too quickly, he had to let the destroyers without long-range firepower in the formation escape from the combat formation.
"They must be fooled!" Adolf Venier shouted in a pissing voice: "Find out the British scoutsman
In fact, the combat formation's hunting hand is already looking for it seriously. It's a pity that the hunting hand has not found anything. The heavy rain hinders the vision. I hope it is not easy to find something on the vast and continuous sea surface.
A blurry warship outline suddenly appeared in the view of the Schanehorst watchman. The lookout hand was startled. It was his negligence to let the enemy ships approach the main combat formation silently.
"The unknown injured warship was found on the left, and the preliminary judgment was made... The unknown warship's ship's position was seriously injured at the stern! The hull was bombarded in many places..." The hull suddenly saw the injured warship emit light. These were some light words. Each judging hand had received special training and understood the password of the hull.
The sound of the lookout hand was filled with surprise and incredible: "Don't fire!" He never thought that one day his own speed would catch up with the firing of the machine gun: "God! It's our warship, Admiral Gravspe!"
Frick was a little stunned. He didn't understand, but he listened carefully to the sound of not firing. Before he could recall it, a bad news came from his hand...
"The British fleet is going to retreat
