"Sir, enemy plane!"

A trembling shout suddenly reached George Elliot's ears, but Elliot didn't care so much. Instead, he continued to lower his head and read the report dictated by the carrier-based aircraft pilot - his fleet had been attacked from Kwajalein Atoll.

The Ming Dynasty fighter jets bombed twice, but because there were not many fighter jets taking off from Kwajalein Atoll, there were only twenty or thirty of them. Among them, 12 of them could only drop bombs horizontally, and the Xianglong four-engine bombers and Yunlong were not very accurate at all.

Water reconnaissance aircraft, so two waves of bombings only sank two destroyers, and the attack on Fleet D was quite limited.

This is the third time that Ming Dynasty fighter jets have arrived. Although they arrived a little hastily, not long after the second bombing was over, they should not cause too much damage, right?

Just when George Yilu thought of this, a trembling shout rang out again.

"God, there are at least 100 enemy planes on the port side!"

What? 100 enemy planes?

George Yilu was a little confused and suspected that there was something wrong with his ears!

"Oh God, 100 planes, they're coming to bomb."

Are there really 100?

George Elliot hurriedly ran to the left side of the bridge, raised his neck, raised his telescope and looked up at the sky. Suddenly, he stood there blankly as if he had been hit by a holding spell. From where he stood, he used the telescope

Looking up into the sky, I saw hundreds of biplanes flying over one after another.

These biplanes are definitely not British, because the current British carrier-based aircraft are all single-wing "pigeon planes" and are not equipped with biplanes at all, so these biplanes must be from the Ming Dynasty. But where did they come from? Kwajalein Atoll

?Impossible! If there are so many planes there, they should have bombed them a long time ago. Why did they wait until now? Why did they go there so long ago?

If they didn't fly from Kwajalein Atoll, then where did they come from? Are there Ming's aircraft-carrying warships nearby? 100 aircraft, that's at least two aircraft-carrying battleships!

Could it be that the main force of the Ming Dynasty’s Pacific Fleet has already arrived?

When George Yilu thought about it more and more, he became more and more frightened. The Ming fighter planes in the sky had already begun to attack. However, they did not rush towards the Black where George Yilu was located. Instead, they split into two lines and rushed towards two standard displacement ships.

The 14,400-ton Qiang Sheng class - the Black class has a standard displacement of only 9,300 tons, which is 5,100 tons smaller than the Qiang Sheng class. It looks far less valuable than the Qiang Sheng class, so the more than 90 aircraft in the air temporarily ignored the Blake and Bren.

Heim, all went to bomb the two "big aircraft carriers", the Strong and the Terror.

The first to launch the attack were 24 Ssangyong 2 carrier-based reconnaissance bombers taking off from the Shu Zhongwang and Kuizhong Wang. This type of fighter aircraft can carry a 250 kilogram armor-piercing bomb in two-seat mode, and can also

Dive bombing can be carried out at a maximum angle of 40 degrees. Although the accuracy of bomb delivery is not as good as that of later bombers that can dive bomb at a large angle close to 90 degrees, it is enough to deal with the Qiang Sheng class which does not have much strong anti-aircraft firepower.

When the 24 SsangYong 2 bombers were divided into two columns and began to dive bomb the Qiang Sheng and Terror, the flight decks of the two aircraft-carrying armored cruisers were in chaos. The Qiang Sheng's fourth attack wave had just returned.

, twenty or so "pigeon planes" were huddled together on the angled deck. On the deck near the superstructure, the most scattered piles were filled with 100-pound armor-piercing bombs and high-explosive bombs, at least fifty or sixty of them! In addition,

, and some ground crew members were pulling hoses for refueling the aircraft back and forth on the deck.

At the same time, there were many "pigeon planes" being chased around in the sky, trying to land on the noisy deck.

Since the Ming army's Ssangyong aircraft followed the British army's pigeon aircraft, the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns on the Qiang Sheng and Terror did not react at first. When they reacted and started firing ammunition, the dive bombing

It's already started!

The angled flight deck of the Qiang Sheng was hit first. A 250-kilogram armor-piercing bomb fell from the sky, easily penetrated the wooden flight deck of the Qiang Sheng, and exploded in a warehouse where aircraft parts were stacked below the deck. The explosion caused by

The fire instantly ignited a hose used to transport fuel on the deck, causing a fire. Then 100-pound bombs stacked on the deck were exploded - these bombs were all picric acid bombs, very sensitive, and vibrated at a distance

The next one exploded one after another!

The fire and shrapnel from the exploded bombs swept across the flight deck, turning it into a real hell. The pigeon planes parked there were also destroyed one after another, either being blown to pieces or being swept away by the fire.

It became a "burning pigeon"! The worst thing was of course the pilots in the cockpit. They were about to take off for another fight, so they were all wearing seat belts. In the rush, they had no time to untie them, so they could only watch themselves being engulfed in fire.

.

In just a few minutes, the Strong and the Terror were turned into two floating fire coffins by the bombs that suddenly fell from the sky and the bombs that were ignited or exploded by them. Because there were too many flammable and flammable weapons on these two aircraft-carrying ships.

The exploding items were not properly kept! So the fire was completely out of control from the beginning. The flames were flying around the ship and could not be extinguished at all, and soon engulfed everything.

However, the disaster of the British Royal Navy has just begun. Just when 24 Dragon fighter planes cleanly blew up two Qiangsheng-class aircraft, the disaster moment for the two Crown-class aircraft came again. The 12 Dragon 2-type carriers that found them

Fighters, these fighter jets are also equipped with 100 kilogram bombs, and they can also perform dive bombing. Almost at the same time as the Ssangyong aircraft made their achievements, these flying dragons also swarmed up and began to dive bomb the two Crown-class ships.

The fate of the two Crown-class ships was almost exactly the same as that of the two Strong-class ships. The high-explosive bombs and armor-piercing bombs piled on the deck were exploded by 100 kilogram bombs falling from the sky. They soon ignited the aircraft on the deck, the oil pipelines, and the oil pipelines ignited again.

After entering the oil depot, fire and explosions swept through the two crowns one after another, turning them into two blazing fire ships in the blink of an eye.

The loss of the four aircraft-carrying armored cruisers happened almost instantly. Witnessing all this, George Yilu's mind opened wide and his eyes turned red. There was nothing inside except one thought - it's over.

!The British Empire is over! The Royal Navy is over!

"Enemy plane! Coming towards us."

A crying voice shouted in George Yilu's ear.

George Elliot also saw the fighter planes rushing towards the Black where he was. However, this time they were not bombers or fighter planes with bombs attached, but 12 Brontosaurus torpedo bombers flying across the sea.

"Left full rudder!" George Yilu's reaction was quite quick, and he shouted immediately. With his shout, the Black began to turn sharply again, turning the bow and facing the twelve missiles that had just been launched.

The torpedoes that were thrown down. And the "Lucky Blake" was really lucky. All twelve torpedoes passed by both sides of it, and none of them hit it.

"My life was saved." George Yilu, who was so frightened that his face was covered with beads of sweat, just took a breath when he heard several dull explosions coming from the starboard side of the Blake.

George Elliot quickly turned around to take a look, and saw that the Blenheim, which was less than 3,000 yards away from the Blake, had been torpedoed and had opened several large holes below the waterline, and was flipping and sinking.

"Five, five aircraft-carrying armored cruisers." George Yilu's voice was trembling when he spoke, his heart was almost broken, his face was gray, and he was almost in tears.

At this most desperate moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Reinforcements! Our reinforcements have arrived!"

George Elliot turned his head and looked eastward, only to see dozens of smoke pillars appearing over the eastern ocean - the main force of the Australian Grand Fleet of the British Royal Navy had arrived!
