While President of the United States and the top military officials were regretting having been fooled by Germany's people, German Navy's attack on Bermuda Islands was about to begin.
Before arriving at the Bermuda Islands offshore, the Capital Ships formation of Atlantic Fleet and the Capital Ships formation of Mediterranean Fleet had separated. Atlantic Fleet's Capital Ships formation headed straight for Bermuda Island. Mediterranean Fleet's Capital Ships formation attacked St. David's Island and St. George's Island.
On board the Battleship of the 'Bavaria', Lieutenant General Weikes was looking at the Bermuda Islands in the distance with a telescope. Although it is still dark, the island in the distance looks like a monster lying on the sea. However, there is not much time left before dawn. Besides, the intelligence department of Germany has already figured out the situation on Bermuda Islands very clearly. German Navy also knows everything about the deployment of military facilities on the island.
"General, in five minutes we will sail to a place less than fifteen kilometers away from Bermuda Island." Chief of Staff Major General Leiser reported.
Vice Admiral Weeks nodded. "Order all ships to get ready. In five minutes, the bombardment will begin. Prioritize the destruction of Americans's airport, air defense facilities and Radar stations on the island. Those guys in Aircraft Carrier Formation don't want them to be discovered by Americans's Radar when they take off Carrier-based aircraft, so that their location can be inferred by Americans."
"Okay, General." Major General Leiser nodded.
"Take off the seaplane after dawn to correct the shelling results. We must ensure that all the military facilities on the island are destroyed by us. 1st Marine Division will be here soon. We must occupy this archipelago in the shortest possible time." Lieutenant General Weeks said.
"Yes, General. We will definitely be able to complete the capture of Bermuda Islands soon." Major General Leiser said.
Five minutes later, the five 'Bavaria-class' Battleship and three 'Mackensen-class' Battlecruiser of German Atlantic Fleet's Capital Ships formation had arrived at the sea area only fifteen kilometers away from Bermuda Island. These huge Battleship have already stretched across the hull of the ship, aiming their sides at the coast. The main guns were aimed at the coast of Bermuda Island.
"Fire!" The gunner of the Battleship number 'Bavaria' first gave the order to start the attack.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The three-seater triple-mounted 50 times caliber 380mm Main Gun numbered 'Bavaria' Battleship started roaring. 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, carrying the gravel on the beach and shooting it in all directions. When the smoke dissipated, huge craters were left on the sea.
The firing of 'Bavaria' number Battleship seemed to be a signal. The other Capital Ships also started shelling.
For a moment, the sound of cannons rumbled on the sea. The eight Capital Shipss in the German Atlantic Fleet Capital Ships formation began to pour shells at Bermuda Island crazily.
The shells hit the island one after another, leaving huge craters. At the same time, American Navy's military facilities on the island were also destroyed bit by bit under the fierce bombardment of German Navy.
The airport on Bermuda Island became the key target of German Navy. At the same time, because the airport is larger, it is easier to be hit. This also allows German Navy and Capital Ships to accurately hit the airport with artillery shells.
"Boom!"
A 380mm Shell hit the airport runway. After the shell exploded, a huge crater appeared on the runway. The entire runway was almost blown into two pieces. This makes it impossible for planes at the airport to take off anymore.
Another shell hit the hangar, directly causing the aircraft parked in the hangar to be torn into pieces in a violent explosion.
Under the fierce bombardment of German Navy, the entire airport is suffering a heavy blow. A large number of buildings are being turned into ruins step by step under the fierce bombardment of German Navy.
"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 even take off. This is undoubtedly very painful for every pilot.
If it were daytime, these planes might still be able to risk taking off. Even those SBD2 dive bomber and TBD torpedo bomber can use the Aerial Bomb and aviation Torpedo they carry to teach the incoming German fleet a lesson. However, it was still dark, and with the shells at the airport already destroyed, they had no ability to fight back.
American Navy There are still a lot of fighters deployed on Bermuda Islands. The total number of fighter jets, Dive Bomber and Torpedo Bomber, exceeds one hundred. However, now these planes are of no use at all and will be destroyed.
"Fight back! Fight back immediately!"
Inside the shore defenses, Commodore Jonathan was shouting orders at the top of his lungs.
American Navy On Bermuda Islands, some coastal defense fortresses were built. Large-caliber coastal defense guns are also deployed in these coastal defense fortresses. There are even 406 mm caliber coastal defense guns. However, the number is small and does not pose much of a threat to German Navy's Capital Ships.
"Boom! Boom!"
The US military's coastal defense forts opened fire, but it was undoubtedly very difficult for the coastal defense artillerymen who were on the battlefield for the first time to hit moving targets on the sea. Unless they are protected by God, otherwise, they are just wasting cannonballs.
"Boom!"
A 380mm Shell fell from the sky and hit a Radar station. The tall Radar antenna was torn apart in the explosion. The Radar soldiers who were holding on inside hurriedly escaped. However, the island is too small. It was as if the entire island was under attack from German Navy, and they had nowhere to hide.
Also attacked by German Navy were military camps and defensive positions on the island. Although, US Marine Corps has reinforced those defensive positions. However, in front of German Navy's large-caliber Naval Gun, these defensive positions are still no different from paper.
When the Capital Ships formation of German Atlantic Fleet ravaged the United States* military facilities on Bermuda Islands, the Capital Ships formation of German Navy Mediterranean Fleet also launched attacks on the US military facilities on St. David's Island and St. George's Island respectively. Although they had to deal with two islands at the same time, their strength had to be spread out. However, both St. David's Island and St. George's Island are much smaller than Bermuda Island and have fewer military facilities, which allows the Capital Ships formation of Mediterranean Fleet to deal with it calmly.
