Western Europe Campaign 'Generator' electrocuted who (five)

  The British reinforcement fleet headquarters began to mark out the German intercept fleet's sea area, course, and speed on the map after receiving intelligence. A British naval major named Nielson had doubts about the actions of the German intercept fleet. He believed that based on the consistent combat style of the German raiders, they should quickly leave the combat zone to avoid being tracked by the British search fleet. Moreover, German warships rarely have large-scale gatherings. The largest one so far was during the Norwegian campaign. Normally, the German surface fleet does not dare to enter the English Channel with a small turning radius and British patrol ships and planes. But this time they came in reverse of their usual habits without participating in the raiding fleet mentioned in the intelligence obtained by Britain from Germany to attack the British North Sea naval base. From any aspect, the German Navy commander Raeder had no reason to separate such a combat-effective fleet from the raiding fleet for this operation. He thought that if the so-called German raiding fleet did not exist at all and was just a smokescreen released by the Germans to the British, then the German fleet discovered by air reconnaissance would very likely be a decoy released to them. The Germans might have laid an ambush with a large number of ships on the previous route, waiting for them to fall into their trap. Only in this way can the reasons for the series of abnormal actions of the Germans be explained.

  Nelson Major felt a chill as he thought about it. He quickly found the fleet's chief of staff and told him his concerns. But to his surprise, the chief of staff scolded him: "Major Nelson, have you been intimidated by the Germans? Their few old ships are not worth your fear. Our aerial reconnaissance shows that the German main force is still near Norway (actually a disguise, the German army had set up a large number of anti-aircraft guns there, and any British reconnaissance plane could not conduct a thorough reconnaissance in Norway to determine if the German fleet was still in port). What makes you say they have already come out and are waiting for us? Is it just based on your super imagination? Do you have any concrete intelligence to prove your speculation? If we retreat just because of your speculation, not only will the Navy Department and the Prime Minister's Office not forgive us, but also the British people. We have more than 300,000 soldiers and officers in Dunkirk surrounded by the Germans, waiting for us to rescue them and bring them back to Britain. And those wicked German pigs took advantage of our focus on the North Sea naval base to attack our ships that were going to rescue our army with their raiding fleet. If we retreat just because of your speculation, aren't we giving those wicked German pigs another chance to attack us? Maybe the Germans are expecting us to do what you said and wait for us to fall into their trap again. The 'Hood' was the flagship, so it received special attention, while the damage to the 'Repulse' was not as severe as that of the 'Hood', and it could still engage in a shootout with the German battleship. The 'Hipper Admiral' heavy cruiser and the 'Lützow' battleship were engaging the British heavy cruiser 'Devonshire'.

  The sailors of the "Counterattack" fired accurately and quickly, causing several high-rise smoke columns to appear on the heavy cruiser "Hipper Admiral". However, the German warship did not show weakness. Later, under the observation of the spotter plane, the main gun of the Deutschland-class battleship "Lützow" began to fire, and three consecutive shots hit the "Counterattack", but due to the high-explosive shells carried by the German warship, except for killing personnel on the deck, it did not pose a great threat to the "Counterattack". The German warship saw that the first shot did not affect the movement of the "Counterattack", so the ammunition depot of the Deutschland-class battleship "Lützow" received an order: "Quickly switch to armor-piercing shells (of course, the protagonist's explosive-shaped armor-piercing shells)".

  Dozens of sturdy German sailors then took out armor-piercing shells from the ammunition depot under the command of the military officer, pushed out the tightly wrapped propellant packets wrapped in silk from the propellant chamber, and placed them on the catapult's cradle.

  "Come on, you guys, Hank, you're handling the stuff like a bunch of girls. This isn't a drill, it's war, move it and let the gunners up there give those British pigs a good lesson." The sergeant yelled at the top of his lungs. A low chuckle echoed through the ammunition room. The German sailors hastened their work, quickly passing up armor-piercing shells and propellant charges to the turret above.

  Boom, after the loud noise, the German battleship "Lützow" fired a new type of armor-piercing shell. The armor-piercing shell formed a solid metal body like a cannonball through the metal jet flow when it came into contact with the No. 1 turret of the "Revenge". With its own high speed, it used kinetic energy to penetrate the No. 1 turret of the "Revenge", and this turret that was still spewing flames suddenly fell silent. The sailors inside were all killed by the armor-piercing shell, not even leaving a single intact corpse.

  At this time, Zhou Tianlei finally brought the submarine squadron to the battlefield. He ordered the submarines to surface to periscope depth and raise the periscope to observe the situation on the sea surface.
