Bismarck

"Understood! I promise to complete the mission!!"

Rudel didn't know why his instructor suddenly became so weak, but he didn't have time to think about it. He turned on the radio to call Steph and started flying southeast to lead Steph...

On Tirpitz's side, the situation is equally dire...

The six 381mm heavy guns of the Renown had been threatening the Tirpitz's shooting. The Hipper, which was already seriously injured, had suffered many new wounds in front of the two British heavily armed light cruisers. It could only rely on the double defense of armor and dome armor and the support of the secondary guns of the Hipper to barely hold on... Without the firepower cover of the two large ships, the five British destroyers that rushed to a distance of meters and the last three remaining German destroyers of Top were fighting desperately. The torpedo nets launched by Top forced the British destroyer fleet to turn, but after all, the quality and manpower were far inferior to the opponent, and the remaining three destroyers were also in danger.

Barr and several other pilots were desperately firing machine guns at the deck of the British destroyer, which helped Top and his team to share a lot of pressure. However, a fighter was also killed in front of the British anti-aircraft guns...

And in the command tower of the Tirpitz, the hamster sitting in the corner, originally only thinking about good food, fun and picture books, seemed to have something dark budding in his little heart...

ps: Darken it, my Tirpitz——manually funny

Chapter 243: I've played Ark so much that I can't think of any more questions

—"Zeppelin, get ready, you're going to be played!!!"

Bismarck's roar in the space interrupted Tizi's thoughts. She looked around blankly and found a shell streaking across the sky - the target was the Zeppelin that was struggling to turn.

"I understand." Zeppelin's voice was still as calm as ever.

This is what Ti Zi has always envied Zeppelin for. No matter what happens, Zeppelin always remains calm, even if a muffled groan is heard afterwards.

Ti Zi felt a pain in his heart. For Zeppelin, even though he was prepared, he could still cry out in pain. It was such an unbearable pain.

Tizi fell into his own regret again.

"Tirpitz, what are you doing! Can't you see the shells coming?" Zeppelin shouted angrily.

She could see it very clearly from the sky. Those shells were obviously easy for Tizi to dodge, but the giant ship didn't move at all.

what are you doing?!

"I—ah—"

Tizi replied blankly, but was then interrupted by the pain in his body.

A high-explosive bomb hit the unarmored hangar. The violent explosion not only destroyed the hangar, but also started a raging fire inside.

"Are you in a daze?! Are you in a daze at this time?!" Zeppelin shouted.

"Who's operating the gun now?" she asked.

"It's the Gunner—"

"What are you doing!"

"I-I can't hit..." Ti Zi muttered.

"If you can't hit me, you'll just stop fighting?" Zeppelin laughed. "No matter how you fight, at least you have to fight!"

"You are our only battleship. If you retreat, what should we do?!"

"Tirpitz, you can be as playful as you want at other times, but now, don't let me and your sister down!"

Zeppelin spoke word by word.

"You're the only battleship!"

"Don't let me and your sister down!"

Protection, responsibility...

As Tizi squatted in the corner with his head in his hands, images kept flashing through his mind.

Those images were like sharp knives, engraved deeply into her memory.

The once heroic Zeppelin, the once playful Lindemann, the once gentle and lovely sister, but now...

Because of his laziness, Zeppelin was exposed to British fire.

Because of his laziness, the commander even gave the order to abandon the ship.

Because of his laziness, Zeppelin, who was supposed to be protected, is now on the front line of the fire!

"why why···"

Tirpitz glanced at her own fair hands with tearful eyes. They were stretched naturally and felt surprisingly soft when touched. Her sister had praised her hands many times - but did this also mean that she would always be just a little girl hiding behind the captain and her sister?

She looked at Lindemann, who was anxiously urging air force support.

Since he couldn't rely on himself, he could only rely on the air force, but the air force was slow to arrive.

In the past, Lindemann could ask his sister for help because she was around, but now his sister is replacing Zeppelin, and Zeppelin is protecting himself with his seriously injured body.

If I could be as strong as my sister and hold off those two damn warships, everyone would be safe...

if--

The white little hand suddenly clenched into a fist, then raised her right arm and wiped the corner of her eyes fiercely, leaving a tear mark on her clothes.

"British people you are all bastards!"

"I want to protect everyone!"

----------------

"Tizi, why are you up? Are you okay?" Lindemann turned around inadvertently and saw Tirpitz standing behind him without knowing when.

"It's okay." Tizi's voice was as soft as usual, but with some inexplicable something in it.

"What's wrong with you?" Lindman frowned. The change in Tizi's tone was so obvious that he could feel it even in his hurry.

He didn't know what this meant. Lindman just hoped that there would be no more problems with Grapes at this critical moment, otherwise he would really have a headache.

"Gunner, correct the trajectory immediately. The next round will be a good shot and we can directly start efficient shooting!"

"Yes!"

"Nothing... I just figured out some things... Lindeman, I will work hard in the future!" Tizi said with a red face, "I was wrong before, I shouldn't be lazy, I shouldn't-"

"Fire!"

With Lindemann's order, Tirpitz, who was about to speak incessantly, was interrupted again.

"What do you want to say?" After this round of shells fell into the sea, Lindmann looked at his restless battleship and asked helplessly.

"Uh..." Ti Zi stood there in a daze. After being interrupted by Lindman, she even forgot what she wanted to say.

"You want to apologize, right?" Lindman vaguely caught a few words and said.

"Yes--"

"I accept. Now, you will take over from the gunner. Use the coordinates and movement elements just now to fire with maximum efficiency!"

"···yes!"

————————————————————

"Is it too close?" Tovey frowned. He felt that there seemed to be more water columns exploding around Hood.

"No, our ship has always maintained the maximum artillery distance from them." The staff officer replied.

"So they have found the feeling?" Tovey felt that the opponent's artillery skills seemed to be much better than before - of course, only much better, but still failed to hit Hood.

It's just that the occasional water columns made the cautious Tovey feel a little uncomfortable, as if he was walking on the edge of a knife.

"Boom——" Another column of water exploded, and the splashing water soaked the windows of the command tower.

"Increase maneuvering force and tell Renown to hit and bombard Zeppelin!"

"Yes!"

"German planes are about to arrive. We must take advantage of this period of time and fly at maximum speed!"

"understand!"

------------

The artillery shells of both sides carried colorful tracers, drawing uninterrupted bands of light in the air. Although most of them missed their targets, the consequence of being hit was a brilliant and tragic fireball, which was shocking and revealed the cruelty of modern warfare.

Tirpitz finally took back control of her own body. At first, because she couldn't hit the target and was injured by bullets, she was a little discouraged and asked the gunner to take control. Fortunately, with Zeppelin's "friendly" communication, she cheered up again.

Of course, the consequence was that she became even more in awe of "sister" Zeppelin, which made Bismarck depressed for a long time.

However, artillery skills are not something that can be mastered overnight, nor can you hit the target just by making up your mind. Even if Tizi tried his best, the shells still only exploded around Hood, and rarely hit him directly - although it was better than the gunner.

As a ship girl, if you can't control the things on your body better than the crew members, you can just sink yourself.

Tizi's continuous bombardment caused Tovey some trouble, as a result of which he had to use greater maneuvers to evade, and then the pressure on Zeppelin was slightly reduced.

ps: Oh...so tired!!! I played Ark for a whole day!!!

Chapter 244: Shit Luck

Before the British discovered the German fighter planes, Zeppelin, who was flying high in the sky, had already detected a group of planes that were also rushing towards here with his extraordinary perception.

All Hurricane fighters.

Zeppelin reported the situation to the bridge. Lütjens was worried at first and asked what kind of plane it was. If it was a bomber, then with every ship damaged, they might not be able to conduct effective air control, and the consequences could be very serious.

Fortunately, Zeppelin later told him that those who came were fighter planes. He breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that at least he didn't have to worry about the ships.

As for the remaining air battles...

"Commander, judging from the speed of both sides, our fighter planes should arrive five minutes earlier. Five minutes is enough to launch a wave of attacks." Zeppelin said.

"Launch a saturation attack on them, then evacuate at maximum speed. We will form an air defense circle below to intercept them!"

"clear."

"We have now entered the range of the German Air Force. The British are not very willing to pursue us. I noticed that their destroyer cruiser formation has a tendency to retreat to the southwest. If we can inflict enough damage on them and make Tovey give up, we can get rid of them!" said Lütjens.

After a series of air battles, both sides knew the combat effectiveness of aircraft, and both had warships sunk or seriously damaged by aircraft. As traditional naval generals, although their minds were not so open, they had to admit that the threat of aircraft was very great. Lütjens bet that Tovey knew very well that he had entered the range of the German Air Force, so he had been firing at himself at the maximum range, so that he could retreat as soon as possible in case of any emergency. After all, the losses of both sides in this battle were very large, and conversely, the results of both sides were very great. Even if he retreated at this time, Tovey could give an explanation to the parliament and would not hold on to it.

Of course, if their results were like the last time Bismarck fought in the Atlantic, Tovey would probably chase them to the death.

After several more rounds of shelling.

German bombers finally arrived at the battlefield first.

The British fighter planes didn't even see the dark shadows on the horizon.

"General, they are coming towards us!" the staff officer shouted.

"Start anti-aircraft fire and evasive maneuvers!" Tovey was well prepared. He knew that it would take several minutes for his planes to reach the battlefield. He could only rely on himself to hold on for these few minutes. If he could hold on, he would be fine. If he couldn't...

"We will be the main target, hold on until our fighters come over!" he said.

"Yes!"

The sailors immediately took up the anti-aircraft gun positions on both sides. Bright lines of fire were fired densely from all parts of the two warships, forming an anti-aircraft firepower network in the air.

"Pull up!" The captain of the German fighter plane immediately gave the order. He pulled up the joystick first and led the entire fleet to fly upwards. At the same time, the fleet dispersed.

"You only have one chance to attack. Their fighter planes are coming soon. Hurry!" The order came over the radio.

"understand!"

"Captain, watch me!"

"Free attack!"

"Yes!"

The German warhawks bravely lowered their noses in the face of the oncoming anti-aircraft fire. In the cloud of smoke, the cold and shiny bombs under the bellies were revealed.

Hood and Renown naturally became the targets of most pilots, and they dived down to the two huge warships one after another, making sharp screams and crisp clicks, and then the bombs broke away from the fuselage and fell freely. The bombers resisted the powerful overload and passed over the masts of the warships. The howling wind even blew the sailors on the masts to the ground.

"Boom——" A loud noise accompanied by flames erupted from the landing point.

"Who was shot!" Tovey asked immediately.

"General, it's the reputation that's been shot."

"Hurry and ask about the damage!"

"Yes!"

A moment later, the communications officer came running in. "Captain, the stern of the Renown was hit, and the horizontal armor was damaged. The damage control team has been organized to repair it!"

“Will it have any impact on navigation?”
