German Eagle: Steel and Magic

Chapter 90 Double Victory
This battle is different from the previous ones. The destroyers of both sides have been transferred from the flanks to the rear. Their mission has been completed. Now the only mission left is to anti-submarine and prevent the main fleet from being attacked by submarines.

Next, battleships and cruisers play the leading roles.

The Frankish side has nine battleships and eighteen cruisers, and this is in addition to some of the final results of the previous exit. In contrast, the number of Germany's five battleships and eleven cruisers is quite different.

It is worth mentioning that the cruiser that sank to the bottom of the sea with two torpedoes in its body was completely over, but the crew inside still survived and ran to other warships.

Although the overall combat strength is somewhat different, the morale of the navy and aviation mages is high at this time, and it is hard to say who will have the upper hand in a fight.

At this moment, Jeff was in a good mood, grinning, and gave a new order:
"Notify the Air Mages to rest as soon as possible, they will be back on the field soon, and the other 1033 Squadron...notify Captain Karl to keep him and his squadron on standby. Without my order, there is no need to attack."

……

"Huh, what a fun battle."

Carl landed slowly. At this time, all members of the 1033 Squadron had returned to the merchant ship, took off their helmets, and let out a deep breath. Carl hadn't had such an exciting flight for a long time.

Amy, who had just left the vehicle next to him, glanced at him and walked forward alone.

Hanitz led the mechanics and quickly got to work. They overhauled all the vehicles and replaced the fuel rods, extremely skilled and light.

At this time, the merchant ships were far away from the battlefield, and were more than ten kilometers away from their own fleet. Apart from hearing the aftermath of the shells, it was a paradise.

But everyone didn't want to just stay like this. They were killing all directions in the air just now, and they came back to stand by suddenly, which was a bit uncomfortable. The small captains looked in the direction of the main fleet rather unwillingly.

"Let's cheer up. We came back to stand by because the mission was completed very well just now. The higher-ups let us take a rest. This does not mean that our chance to play is over."

Karl stood on the deck. Although his height was not very conspicuous, the amplifying technique allowed every team member present to hear him.

"With our excellent record, we may be asked to fight before we have a good rest. So, hurry up to replenish your magic power and touch your favorite gun now. Long live the German Empire! Squadron 1033 will win!"

"Long live the German Empire, the 1033 Squadron must win."

"Long live the German Empire, the 1033 Squadron must win."

"Long live the German Empire, the 1033 Squadron must win."

……

The team members, who were still a little listless, suddenly became emotional. Even Hanitz, who was performing logistical work, led the mechanics and shouted.Karl is getting more and more satisfied with this team.

"I don't know, I thought it was the leader of a brainwashing organization."

Amy sat alone in a corner, cast a disdainful glance at the 1.3-meter Carl, and then looked to the other side, the other side without war.

The river there is so calm and peaceful.

Boom boom boom...

The gunfire of the battleship was roaring, and the shells blasted from the giant guns caused fierce waves. Under the deafening roar, there were warships on both sides that were constantly being damaged, as well as soldiers who were bombed with bloody flesh or bones.

This is the largest naval battle between the German Empire and the Frankish Empire in history. No matter who wins in the end, this battle will be recorded in history.

"Abandon ship! Abandon ship!..."

A cruiser was hit with three shells in a row, and Frank's crew had already jumped into the sea one after another. At this time, the cruiser whose hull armor was pierced was ignited raging fire, and had already begun to tilt due to water ingress.

The crowd on the deck began to crowd, and the life rafts were thrown into the sea one after another. Everyone couldn't wait to escape. A few crew members who were still hesitating to jump into the sea or get on the life raft were already squeezed down.

"Don't grab me! Bastard, do you want to squeeze me down?"

"That's the life raft I dropped, Esk you bastard! Where's your gentlemanly demeanor?"

"What the hell! I..."

thump,
The captain looked helplessly at the figure who was pushed down, and began to shake his head in despair. Apart from this ship, there were more ships not far away that began to billow thick smoke. What this represented was self-evident. .

"I didn't expect the naval battle of our Frankish Empire to happen today..."

The Frankish fleet, which originally had an advantage in numbers, seemed to be a little bit uneasy under the situation of this battle. It lost six cruisers and two battleships in a row, and it was obviously stronger than the German side in terms of firepower.

Admiral Bell was puzzled, because among the cruisers that had been lost, there were still three cruisers that were beginning to sink to the bottom of the sea under his nose.

On the German side, only three cruisers withdrew from the battle.

Lieutenant General Jeff lit a cigar leisurely, feeling indescribably comfortable.

The German navy has suffocated for nearly a hundred years in the naval battle with Frank, and there are always some people who stand up and talk without back pain, blaming the incompetence of the navy.

Is it because patriotism has overwhelmed the brain?What is the strength of the German Navy?Don't you know?How could this kind of thing be blamed on the Navy?Headshot?

But Jeff just took a puff of his cigar and calmed down completely.

The German fleet was able to fight more with less. Apart from the fact that the 1033 squadron led by Karl had a chance to fight and the morale of the soldiers soared, it was a technical advantage.

Compared with the fleet of the Franks, the fleet of the Germans has more advanced equipment.

The Naval Academy in Hamburg has successfully developed a new reticle system, which enables the unified use of many auxiliary aiming devices.

Unlike the old-fashioned aiming method of the Franks who relied on the gunner's experience, the German fire control system emphasized the unity of the three sets of sights.The comprehensive value of the distance scale, speed scale and height scale, the gunner will adjust the muzzle according to the results given by the scale, and then shoot, which is much higher than the hit rate of the Franks.

When the navies of various countries were frantically increasing the caliber of naval guns and the thickness of their armor, the Germans found another way and relied on a small set of collimator systems to achieve their own victory.

The difference in the hit rate of the shells between the two sides was about 3:1. Because the difference in the hit rate between the two sides was too large, the confidence of Frank's gunners was greatly reduced, which led to a further decrease in the hit rate.

In fact, there was a big difference in the mentality of the battle at the beginning. As the weak side, Germany was already prepared to fight with its life. After all, this is Helgeland Bay.

Frank is the dominant side, and the army size is much larger. They all want to come here to fool around with military achievements. The warships on the sea and the aviation mages in the air are obviously so powerful...

After all, most of the time, the German navy can only hide in the port of Hamburg through the Elbe River. From the beginning of the war to the end of the war, they dare not go to sea at all.

This failure caused the mentality of many Frankish officers and soldiers to collapse. Now in their eyes, it seemed that the warship they were on would sink in the next moment, so they gave up their posts early and ran to the life raft.
