German military Airport, which is more than ten kilometers away from Le Havre, General Kluck and Lieutenant General Ludendorff, are all waiting for the result of Carrier-based aircraft's attack.

"General, I hope Carrier-based Aircraft Unit can sink the warships of the Britain people in one fell swoop. In this case, when we attack Le Havre, we don't have to worry about being bombarded by them again." Lieutenant General Ludendorff said.

"Well. Vice Admiral Ingol is very confident. I think Carrier-based Aircraft Unit will definitely be able to give us a satisfactory result this time. No matter what happens, they can also change British fleet from Le Havre Drive away. In this case, we will have no worries when attacking. Without the fire support of British fleet, it will be very easy for us to capture Le Havre." General Kluck said.

"Yes, General. We have wasted a lot of time at Le Havre and cannot continue like this." Lieutenant General Ludendorff said.

According to the original plan, they should have captured Le Havre by now. But it is a pity that they had to waste a lot of time here because their offense was frustrated.

"General Kluck, General Ludendorff. 3rd and 4th Carrier-based Aircraft Wings has completed the attack on British fleet. So far, the effect is good. We have sunk many Pre-dreadnought and Armored Cruiser ships of Britain. Now, 5th and 6th Wings is launching an attack on British fleet." Vice Admiral Ingol said with excitement.

Although, this is the first time for these four Carrier-based Aircraft Wing pilots to engage in actual combat. However, their performance is undoubtedly very satisfactory. The Britain warships that were sunk one after another are the best proof of their training results.

"Very good, General. It seems we are about to win, isn't it?" General Kluck said.

"Yes, General. Our Carrier-based Aircraft Unit will win immediately. Although it may be impossible to sink all the Britain's warships. However, there is no problem at all in killing all their Pre-dreadnought and Armored Cruiser." Vice Admiral Ingol said confidently.

"In this case, that would be great. This afternoon, tomorrow at the latest, we will be able to resume the attack on Le Havre." Lieutenant General Ludendorff said.

"General, I suggest we start the attack tomorrow afternoon. In this case, we can give the naval fleet a chance to show its strength. The fleet consisting of five 'Deutschland-class' Battleship and five 'Braunschweig-class' Battleship will arrive tomorrow morning. By then, they will use the large-caliber Naval Gun to launch a fierce bombardment on Le Havre. Let the Britain people also have a taste of being bombarded by the large-caliber Naval Gun. By then, the army's attack will be easier." Vice Admiral Ingol suggested.

General Kluck nodded. "Yes, this is a very good suggestion. I also want to see what the Britain people will look like when they are violently bombarded by our large-caliber Naval Gun."

Lieutenant General Ludendorff also nodded repeatedly. They had suffered heavy losses under the fierce bombardment of British fleet. For both of them, this has always been a pain in their hearts. It would be great to have the opportunity to retaliate and make Britain people pay the price.

Soon, German Navy Carrier-based Aircraft Unit determined the result. The 3rd and 4th Carrier-based Aircraft Wing launched two rounds of attacks. The 5th and 6th Carrier-based Aircraft Wing launched a round of attacks. A total of 384 aircraft attacks successfully sent all 21 Pre-dreadnought and 13 Armored Cruiser of British Navy into the seabed. In addition, some British fleet small and medium-sized warships were sunk. This attack can be described as a complete victory.

General Kluck and Lieutenant General Ludendorff, Carrier-based Aircraft Unit sank British Navy, Pre-dreadnought and Armored Cruiser, and the news of British fleet's embarrassing escape was notified to the following units. This immediately restored the morale of the German military unit, which was originally in low morale.

Although, most of German military's soldiers are brave, and they are not afraid of death in battle. However, the huge power of British fleet and Naval Gun still caused great pressure on them. Especially the soldiers who were within the killing range of the Naval Gun shells were directly blown to pieces. This is a shock from the depths of the soul to everyone.

"Damn Britain people, their fleet was finally defeated by us. Without the support of the fleet, how can the Britain people resist our attack now!"

"This time, we will definitely be able to kill all the Britain people!"

The morale of the soldiers has been restored, which will have an extremely beneficial impact on German military's next attack on Le Havre.

On the other hand, British Expeditionary Force's morale suddenly dropped to freezing point. Many British soldiers couldn't bear the feeling of suddenly falling from heaven to hell, and they collapsed directly.

There were even many British soldiers who left the defense zone without permission and came to the dock, hoping to escape Le Havre on boats transporting supplies. Obviously, they no longer have any confidence in the coming battle, and just want to leave here and save their own lives.

As a last resort, Sir French had no choice but to order British Expeditionary Force's ministries to stick to their own lines of defense and not to give orders or to retreat without authorization. In addition, a large number of Gendarmerie were organized to prohibit desertion. But even so, deserters are still banned.

There is no navy fleet to rely on, which makes British Expeditionary Force have to rely on himself in the next battle. Therefore, British Expeditionary Force had to start reinforcing the defense line again to cope with the upcoming attack of German military. However, they don't think these lines of defense can play a big role.

In fact, starting in the afternoon, the artillerymen of German 1st Army Corps and 8th Army Corps returned to the area around Le Havre and began shelling. Although the infantry did not launch an attack, it was always right to prepare firepower.

The next day, that is, on the morning of May 11, a large number of ships suddenly appeared in the offshore Le Havre. However, the flags flying on these ships are no longer St. George's Cross, but the flags of German Navy.

"God! German fleet is here." Upon discovering this situation, the officers and soldiers of British Expeditionary Force felt as if they were mourning for their heirs.

"Damn it, Germany people are trying to push us to a dead end!" After Sir French got the news, there was no trace of blood on his face. Originally they were no match for German military, but now German military has received support from Battleship on the sea. One can imagine what will happen to British Expeditionary Force.
