While the President of the United States and the top military officials are regretting being fooled by the Germans, the German navy's attack on Bermuda is about to begin.
Before arriving off the coast of Bermuda, the battleship formation of the Atlantic Fleet and the battleship formation of the diterranean Fleet had already separated. The battleship formation of the Atlantic Fleet headed straight for Bermuda. The capital ship formation of the diterranean Fleet rushed to St. David Island and St. George Island.
On the battleship 'Bavaria', Lieutenant General Weikers was looking at the Bermuda Islands in the distance with a telescope. Even though it is still dark, the island in the distance looks like a monster lying on the sea. However, there is not much ti until dawn now. Besides, the German intelligence agency has already figured out the situation in Bermuda very clearly. The German Navy is also well aware of the deploynt of military facilities on the island.
"General, in five minutes we will sail to a place less than fifteen kiloters away from Bermuda Island." Chief of Staff Major General Lazer reported.
Lieutenant General Wilkes nodded: "Order the ships, get ready. Five minutes later, the shelling will start. Prioritize the destruction of the Arican airport, air defense facilities and radar stations on the island. Those guys in the aircraft carrier formation don't want them to be here. When the carrier-based aircraft took off, it was discovered by the Arican radar, and the Aricans deduced the location."
"Okay, General." Major General Lazer nodded.
"After dawn, take off the seaplane to correct the results of the bombardnt. Make sure that all the military facilities on the island are destroyed by us. The 1st Division of the Marine Corps will be here soon. We must occupy the islands in the shortest possible ti. "Lieutenant General Weikes said.
"Yes, General. We will definitely be able to complete the capture of Bermuda soon." Major General Lazer said.
Five minutes later, the five "Bavaria-class" battleships and three "Mackenson-class" battlecruisers of the capital ship formation of the German Navy's Atlantic Fleet have arrived in the sea area only fifteen kiloters away from Bermuda. These huge battleships have already turned their hulls horizontally, aiming their sides at the coast. The main guns were aid at the coast of Bermuda.
"Fire!" The gunner of the battleship "Bavaria" first gave the order to start the attack.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The three triple-mounted 50-caliber 380mm main guns of the "Bavaria" battleship began to roar. Heavy shells roared and hit the beach of Bermuda Island.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A violent explosion sounded on the beach of Bermuda Island, and the shock wave swept around, engulfing the sand and gravel on the beach, and shooting around. When the gunpowder smoke dissipated, huge craters had been left on the sea.
The firing of the battleship "Bavaria" seed to be a signal. The other capital ships also started shelling one after another.
For a while, the sound of cannons rumbled on the sea. The eight battleships of the battleship formation of the Atlantic Fleet of the German Navy began to pour shells into Bermuda crazily.
Shells hit the island one after another, leaving huge craters. At the sa ti, the military facilities of the US Navy on the island were also destroyed bit by bit under the fierce shelling of the German Navy.
The airport on Bermuda Island has beco the target of the German Navy's key attack. At the sa ti, because the airport has a larger area, it is easier to be hit. This also enabled the capital ships of the German Navy to accurately drop shells on the airport.
"Boom!"
A 380mm artillery shell hit the airport runway. After the shell exploded, a huge crater appeared on the runway. The entire runway was almost blown in two. This made it impossible for the planes on the airport to take off.
Another shell hit the hangar, directly causing the aircraft parked in the hangar to be torn to pieces in a violent explosion.
Under the heavy shelling of the German navy, the entire airport is suffering a heavy blow. A large number of buildings were under heavy shelling by the German navy, and the airport was gradually being turned into ruins.
"God! It's over, our airport is over." A US military pilot looked at all this in pain. Their planes were destroyed before they could take off. This is undoubtedly very painful for every pilot.
If it is dayti, these planes may still take off at risk. Even those SBD2 dive bombers and TBD torpedo attack aircraft can use the aerial bombs and aerial torpedoes they carry to severely teach the incoming German fleet. However, it is not yet dawn, and they have no ability to fight back when the artillery shells at the airport have been destroyed.
The U.S. Navy still deploys a lot of fighter planes on the Bermuda Islands. The total number of fighters, dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft exceeded one hundred. It's just that these planes are useless now and will be destroyed.
"Fight back! Fight back now!"
Inside the coastal fortifications, Brigadier General Jonathan ordered loudly.
The U.S. Navy has built so coastal defense forts on the Bermuda Islands. Large-caliber coastal defense guns are also deployed in these coastal defense fortresses. There are even 406mm coastal defense guns. It's just that the number is small, and it does not pose too much threat to the capital ships of the German Navy.
"Boom! Boom!"
The coastal defense fortress of the US military opened fire, but it was undoubtedly very difficult for the coastal defense artilleryn who were on the battlefield for the first ti to hit moving targets on the sea. Unless God forbid, they're just wasting shells.
"Boom!"
A 380mm artillery shell fell from the sky and hit a radar station. The tall radar dish was torn apart in the explosion. The radar soldiers standing guard inside hurriedly escaped. However, the island is too small. It was as if the entire island was under attack by the German navy, and they had nowhere to hide.
Also attacked by the German navy were barracks and defensive positions on the island. Although, the U.S. Marine Corps has reinforced those defensive positions. However, in front of the large-caliber naval guns of the German Navy, these defensive positions are still no different from paper.
When the capital ship formation of the German Navy's Atlantic Fleet ravaged the U.S. military installations on Bermuda, the capital ship formation of the German Navy's diterranean Fleet also launched attacks on the U.S. military installations on St. David Island and St. George Island. . Although they have to deal with the two islands at the sa ti, their strength has to be dispersed. However, both St. David Island and St. George Island are much smaller than Bermuda Island and have fewer military facilities, which allows the capital ship formation of the diterranean Fleet to deal with it calmly.
