"Sir, Seaplane No. 2 reported that there is a huge fleet of the Empire on which the sun never sets fifty kilometers away to the southwest of us. The fleet consisted of more than 20 merchant ships, and was escorted by two light cruisers and eight destroyers."Report by Lieutenant Colonel Sanger

"So many merchant ships? At the same time, there is a strong escort force?"Colonel Fulkes was immediately refreshed.

"Yes, sir. This fleet must have transported a lot of important things. Otherwise, the Sun Never Sets Empire would not take it so seriously. Lieutenant Colonel Sanger replied.

Colonel Fulks nodded repeatedly.

"Order the fleet to turn around immediately and move forward at full speed. We must intercept the fleet of the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets and kill them all!"Colonel Fulkes ordered

"Yes, sir!" Lieutenant Colonel Sanger replied.

Immediately, the battleship Barbarossa, along with the light cruiser Kassel and destroyers X17 and X18, accelerated to intercept the fleet of the Empire on which the sun never sets. The entire fleet moved at a speed of up to 28 knots sailing at a speed.

Only two hours later, they intercepted the fleet of the Empire that was sailing eastward.

On the escort fleet flagship Emerald light cruiser, the captain and escort fleet commander Colonel Cronin was Drinking coffee leisurely. In his opinion, this mission was too easy.

Although the submarines of the Third Reich seemed to be making a lot of noise in the Atlantic Ocean. However, during the mission of Colonel Cronin, his fleet had two The light cruiser and eight destroyers were enough to deal with all threats.

But at this moment, a shrill siren suddenly sounded.

"what happened? Have you discovered a Third Reich submarine? Let our destroyers set off immediately to kill the submarines of the Third Reich! Colonel Cronin jumped up immediately

"Not a Third Reich submarine, sir, but a Third Reich battleship."An officer reported

"Battleship? How can this be?"Colonel Cronin looked unconvinced.

After all, everyone knows that the fleet of the Third Reich is now huddled in the port and does not dare to go out to fight at all.

"Yes, sir, we have discovered a Third Reich capital ship, as well as a light cruiser and two destroyers."The officer replied with a bitter look on his face.

"Oh, God! Capital ship? How is that possible?"Colonel Cronin rushed to the porthole in one step and looked into the distance with his binoculars.

Sure enough, a huge warship flying a black Iron Cross flag was heading towards them at high speed.

"Damn it! Why are there the battleships of the Third Reich here? What on earth do those guys in the Home Fleet do for a living, and how could they let the battleships of the Third Reich enter the Atlantic Ocean? Immediately send a telegram to the country, we encountered the battleship of the Third Reich! We need reinforcements!"Colonel Cronin

"Yes, sir!"The signal trooper had already gone to send a telegram.

But at this time, everything was obviously over.

The battlecruiser Barbarossa had already rushed over.

Although the escort fleet of the Empire on which the sun never sets has a light cruiser and eight destroyers, Even if all these battleships are added together, the total tonnage is not as good as the battleship Barbarossa. Not to mention, there is still a huge gap between the main guns and armor of the two sides. Even if the battlecruiser Barbarossa does not fire, the sun will not Don't even think about sinking the Empire's escort fleet with artillery shells. Of course, these battleships of the Empire's escort fleet are equipped with torpedoes. Their 533mm heavy torpedoes are enough to threaten the battlecruiser Barbarossa..

However, the battlecruiser Barbarossa did not act alone. The light cruiser Cassel and the destroyers X17 and X18 were enough to provide it with protection against lightning strikes.

What's more, the battle cruiser Barbarossa The cruiser's own secondary guns are also very powerful. Two twin-mounted 150mm secondary guns on both sides, four 105mm twin-mounted high-level dual-purpose guns, and six 88mm rapid-fire guns are enough to attack light cruisers and Small and medium-sized warships such as destroyers pose a deadly threat

"Sir, what should we do? Want to run away? asked an officer.

"Escape? No, as officers of the Royal Navy of the Empire on which the sun never sets, how could we abandon these merchant ships and escape alone? Order all ships to prepare for battle. We will hold off these warships of the Third Reich Navy to buy time for the fleet to retreat!"Colonel Cronin made a decision immediately.

"Yes, sir!"The officer nodded.

Immediately, two Emerald-class light cruisers and eight Horde-class destroyers, knowing the power of the Third Reich fleet, still rushed forward without hesitation. Even if they pay the price of their lives, they must defend the Royal Navy. Honor.

As for those merchant ships, they had already disbanded their formations and fled in a hurry.

"Open fire and kill these warships of the Empire on which the sun never sets first, and then hunt down those merchant ships! Within an hour, the battle must be resolved!"Colonel Fulkes ordered

"Yes, sir!" Lieutenant Colonel Sanger replied

"boom! boom! boom!"

The three triple-mounted 50 times caliber 380mm main guns of the battlecruiser Barbarossa began to roar, and the heavy shells roared and hit the battleships of the Empire on which the sun never sets. The light cruiser Emerald, Enterprise The two light cruisers fought back bravely, firing fiercely with their 152mm main guns.

However, the strengths of the two sides were completely unequal. The

152mm main guns of the two light cruisers were unable to pose any threat to the battlecruiser Barbarossa. damage. The 380mm main gun of the battlecruiser Barbarossa can severely damage a light cruiser or destroy a destroyer with one shot.

Even though the sailors of the Royal Navy performed very bravely, they still could not To make up for the gap in strength. Even the eight Horde-class destroyers rushed towards the battlecruiser Barbarossa crazily, trying to launch a lightning strike.

However, the final result was that they were defeated by the escorting light cruisers and destroyers of Barbarossa, as well as Its own secondary guns were destroyed.

The two Emerald-class light cruisers were also sunk by the battlecruiser Barbarossa's main guns.

The entire battle ended in less than half an hour.. And those merchant ships had no time to escape.

Then, the battlecruiser Barbarossa, the light cruiser Cassel and two destroyers, chased after them and began to massacre these merchant ships.

These fragile merchant ships could easily Able to destroy it.

After only half an hour, the battle was over.

None of the 22 merchant ships survived, and all were sunk.
