Immediately afterwards, the US bombers and fighters dived with a harsh roar, and the German defense zone and barracks were bombarded in chaos. The unprepared German army was stunned by the sudden bombing and had no idea what to do. .

Although Major General Hans' mind was still clear at this time, he knew that at this moment, he should organize the German army to attack the port and quickly occupy the port of Toulon and detain the French ships that had not had time to escape, but he also knew that it would be too late to do these things now and there was no point in doing them.

The reason why the French sailors were said to be "too late" was because the French sailors were definitely prepared for this. The German army would undoubtedly be blocked when attacking the port. The worst thing was that the attacking German army might face the bombing of US fighter jets and French large-caliber naval guns.

The reason why the German army said "no sense" is because the main target of the German army was the warships of the Toulon fleet. At this time, the French warships had already sailed to the sea... What did the German army use to seize them? Are they swimming?

At this time, there were only some transport ships, submarines and oil tankers in Toulon Harbor. The seizure of these was just a pile of scrap iron.

So Major General Hans simply did nothing and did not even order the artillery to bomb the port because he was worried that it would expose the artillery's position and be bombed by US fighter jets.

So, the French sailors were able to retreat to various ships calmly and then sail out of the harbor. The entire Toulon fleet was almost intact. The only damage was that it was a little panic due to the rush to withdraw. A transport ship and the oil tanker collided, but because of the speed was not fast, it was only slightly injured.

Later, I found that there were more escaped ships than I thought, because many civilian transport ships parked in the Port of Toulon also escaped with the French Navy... They were worried that they would be affected by the fish in the pond or were requisitioned by the Germans, but there were more than 60 transport ships alone, and there were dredgers and fishing boats. The most bizarre thing was that there were several ships and they also came with them.

Later, when someone asked why the yachts came together, the owner replied: "I don't know either. I just saw all the ships busy driving out of the port, and there were gunfire sounds... You know, I followed!"

As a result, some of them wanted to go back because their families were still on the other side of the Mediterranean, but this was no longer possible. The Algiers government answered them: "Wait until the day when France is liberated, and I hope that that day won't take too long!"

The Algiers command immediately received the good news. General Juan shouted excitedly with the telegram: "We succeeded, they escaped without any casualties!"

A cheer came from the command center immediately.

Only Dallang seemed very calm, he said lightly: "Gentlemen, they must avoid the Germans' air hunt to be considered successful!"

Having said that, Dallang knew that the Germans might not send air force to pursue him. After all, the air supremacy was in the hands of the Americans at this time, and the air battle at the "Death Cross" had already left the Germans with lingering fears, so even if they would dispatch the air force, it would be difficult to have any impact on the Toulon fleet.

In fact, the one who should be excited about here is Darlang, because he created this navy with one hand. If there is anything else in this world that can make him worry about like his son, it is this fleet.

This is also one of the reasons why Dallang is unwilling to sink this fleet in Toulon Harbor.

Because he has been thinking about a question: Britain and the United States are willing to pay such a great price to rescue the Toulon fleet, which is nothing more than to make the Toulon fleet a weapon to attack the German army in the future, but Darlang does not want this. What he wants to see is that Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union, Germany and other countries are in chaos, but France can benefit from it.

Thinking of this, Darlang couldn't help but sigh inwardly. If such a big thing had not happened in Algeria, his idea might have been realized, but now... Darlang could only accept reality silently.

As Darlang expected, the German army did not send fighter planes to chase them.

Of course the German army wanted to do this. In fact, when Hitler received this information, he ordered the air force to pursue it immediately, but Kesseling replied: "Dear Head, I think the enemy must have made sufficient preparations to rescue the Toulon fleet. If we pursue it rashly, we may suffer heavy losses with unknown targets!"

The "unknown goal" mentioned by Kesseling here refers to the embarrassing situation when the Air Force goes to pursue. Should it target the French fleet or the possible British and American fighter jets.

If it is the former, then the German army's fleet should be more bombers, and even B fighter jets should be bombed.

If you do this, if you encounter the interception of British and American fighter jets, the consequences will be unimaginable.

If it were the latter, then the German fleet should be more fighter jets ready for air combat.

However, doing so basically cannot cause any damage to the Toulon fleet... Bullets cannot sink warships, let alone warships, even if they can sink transport ships.

Hitler soon realized that he was too impulsive, so he had no choice but to cancel the pursuit order.

Facts have proved that it is wise to do so, because the British and US air forces are ready and they plan to fight another air battle similar to the "Death Cross" to try to annihilate the main force of the German Air Force.

This made the Toulon fleet sail for more than ten hours without any danger and finally arrived at the Port of Algiers that night.

At this time, the port of Algiers was brightly lit, and many French people living in Algeria rushed to wait after hearing the news. When the fleet entered the port, cheers immediately sounded in the port, and people kept shouting in French:

"Welcome to you!"

"You guys succeed!"

"We won!"

...

The word "victory" is almost an irony for France, because this seemingly powerful Toulon fleet has never won, and their only combat experience was that it was bombarded and hunted by Britain after France surrendered to Germany.

Fortunately, they finally don’t have to end their mission in Toulon Port like history.

Darlang finally didn't hold back. He held Zhang Chi's hand and said, "Thank you, Major General, you saved my fleet!"

Zhang Chi knew what Darlang meant, because from the beginning, the US air force intervened, and even the rescue plan code-named "Crocodile" was actually done by Zhang Chi.
