Chapter 833: We are surrounded!

"It's an airplane! It must be an airplane!" Raidel kept walking in the control tower. As a senior office worker who used to work for Prince Ruprecht, Raidel also gained something that no one else did, such as In terms of aviation reconnaissance, as the link between the German Navy and the Bavarian aviation department, Raidel knows how difficult these guys are. One of the very important points is that the background and sunlight protect the aircraft during low-altitude reconnaissance. Visual observation is very difficult, the aircraft is too small, and it is easy to mix into the background after a simple camouflage. Therefore, it is easier to find the opponent when the opponent sends a report by using the radio sideways.

And now, when it is determined that there is no ship on the sea, then the signal source is probably an airplane! And this plane is definitely not on your side! Raidel knew that the hunters hiding in the shadows had found them, and they could not determine the target yet!

"It seems that we need to cancel this supply." Raidel himself calculated his fuel and the possible pursuit.

"Agree, but if possible, I want to know who is chasing us." Su Xiong replied to Raidel with a semaphore for the first time, but he still doesn't want to leave because the seaplane has not been recovered yet, and he has already tasted the aviation investigation. Sweet Su Xiong is not willing to lose these eyes that cannot be supplied at sea! At the same time, he still had a hint of illusion in his heart. Although the prince said in the telegram most likely to be queens, what if it was a lion and tiger...

When the Japanese informed Thomas of the location of the German fleet, Thomas, who received the information, jumped up from his seat. He has been waiting for this moment for a long time. It has been dozens of days since he was ready to set sail. The entire fleet and the five-figure people who served this hunt are for today! A moment that can wash away the shame of the British Imperial Navy! No matter how stable people are, they can't restrain the tension and excitement in their hearts!

"Should you break the radio silence?" the officer next to him asked. The Angler roughly confirmed the position of the other party via radio, and then only sent a telegram. Naturally, it might be ignored by the other party. But now, the situation of the British fleet has changed from discovery to continuous tracking. The reconnaissance aircraft ahead It is necessary to continuously send out the target communication of the other party, and because of the power and band limitation, in order to ensure that the information is transmitted to each fleet. Need to forward Thomas Fleet! In this case, it is also possible to reversely calculate the position of Thomas' fleet based on the German radio level.

"Mark all the warships on both sides to me." Following Thomas's order, a group of staff began to get busy. They re-adjusted the positions of various marks on the chart. Then Thomas was a bit regretful to find out that the Germans are now located. Makes him a little uncomfortable.

Su Xiong's fleet still did not enter the core area at this time. The two German fast battleships were about 40 kilometers northeast of their fleet. They were not chasing forward, so it was expected that it would take at least one and a half hours to bring each other into the range of their artillery. The other two Queen Elizabeth-class battleships to the north are even more than 80 kilometers away. If they turn around and leave, it can basically be concluded that the two battleships to the north will not see the Germans today... .

"Although the location is not good, we have no choice now. We must drive the German fleet to the north, and then cooperate with Malaya and Warspite to kill them!" Thomas said.

"But what if the other party chooses to fight us?" the captain of the Queen Elizabeth asked.

"Then it's done, we must hold them down anyway!" Thomas said decisively. "Command the fleet to increase the speed to the limit! We are going to fight!" A large amount of heavy oil was injected into the boiler, and after the violent combustion, hundreds of degrees of high temperature and high pressure steam were sent to the engine room. The high-speed rotating turbine Produced an output of more than 80,000 horsepower! At this time, the Queen Elizabeth-class battleship showed its majestic appearance as a first-class fast battleship! The two warships quickly approached the German fleet at 24 knots!

Fleets in other directions also began to approach quickly, especially the war exhaustion and Malayan battleships in the north, which also increased their speed to the limit of 24 knots. During this period of time, the Germans did not get nothing. Two seaplanes sent to the north sent information about encountering unknown ships. From the appearance it looks similar to the Queen Elizabeth-class battleship. In the west, two other reconnaissance aircraft also spotted the British light cruiser. Traces of the enemy appeared in both directions, making Su Xiong's heart sink!

"It's definitely a light cruiser to the west and a battleship to the north. We seem to be in big trouble!" Su Xiong communicated with Raidel via shortwave communication.

The so-called good fortune never comes, and misfortune never comes singly. Just as Su Xiong's telegram was sent, the watchman of the Gneisenau also saw smoke rising about 15 nautical miles behind his fleet! "At six o'clock ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ an unknown ship was found!"

"The fleet speed is 18 knots, and the opponent is still approaching us quickly. It is either the British battle cruiser or the queen! We must make a decision!" Ryder said to himself. There was really not much time left for them at this time. In just a few minutes, the fuzzy ship's shadow in the distance became clearer! When the asana rangefinder at the top of Scharnhorst's mast turned to the target, it was even possible to roughly distinguish the ship of the opponent!

"Turn around to fight!" Raidel's answer was simple, but the process of making this simple reply was not easy! In just a few seconds, Raidel formed a rough picture of the situation in his mind. The distance between the two battleships found to the north was about 70 kilometers. If the two fleets are facing each other, it will be two hours. on! If you go west, although you do not find the opposing capital ship, it is easy to be attacked by the two fleets because of the route problem, and who can guarantee that there is no capital ship behind the light cruiser?

The east is the only direction where no trace of the opponent is found, but this direction cannot be taken, because you cannot be sure whether there is a capital ship to the east, and if not, the entire fleet will be driven to the east of the Indian Ocean, where it is away from the scheduled supply. The sea is farther, farther away from your hometown and the alternate port in East Africa! The opponent may not be as fast as you, but if you play a marathon, you have no chance of winning at all. Even if you can escape for a while, the probability of being chased to death is very high.
