For all the officers and men of the Royal Navy's Grand Fleet, the battle was a doomed one. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoHowever, for the sake of the British Empire, they had to fight with all their might with the German Navy. Because, only in this way, the British Empire will have a chance to win this war.

John? Admiral Jericho and David? Vice Admiral Betty even set his own goal as sinking fifteen or twenty capital ships of the German Navy. It can be seen that they undoubtedly know this naval battle very well, and they know that if they want to win, it is almost impossible. Therefore, they could only settle for the next best thing, hoping to exchange their own sacrifices for the opportunity to inflict heavy damage on the German navy.

If this is successfully achieved, then Britain may still have a chance to win. Otherwise, Britain will lose. In this war, the British Empire, which has dominated the world for hundreds of years, will completely collapse. The world colonial system they have worked so hard to maintain will also collapse because of this. The German Reich will trample on their corpses and rise to become the new world hegemon.

In this regard, every Englishman is naturally unwilling. Therefore, the officers and men of the Royal Navy will fight hard knowing that it is death. The spirit of Nelson has always inspired them.

Little by little, around 10 a.m., a group of small black dots appeared in the eastern sky. No one noticed, and even if someone saw it, they thought it was just a migratory bird.

Soon, however, these little black dots kept getting bigger. At the same time, there was a buzzing sound, as if wild bees were flying.

"Oh God! What's that? A lookout saw with a telescope the planes that were approaching them.

"Damn, planes! That's the plane of the Germans! An officer yelled. Because, the iron cross on the wing is so obvious.

John? Admiral Jericho and David? Lieutenant General Betty also learned the news immediately, and they used binoculars to observe the planes that were approaching. The faces of the two of them became very, very ugly. Obviously, the appearance of German aircraft also surprised them. As for what these planes will do to them, they have no idea at the moment. But in the hearts of both of them, there is undoubtedly a bad feeling.

"How did the planes of the Germans appear here? There is no airport for theirs in the vicinity. "John? Admiral Jericho frowned.

"Could it be that the Germans have developed an aircraft with an extremely long range? It is possible to fly here from their native land. "David? Lieutenant General Betty also found it a little incredible. After all, Britain's own planes do not have a long range.

"Your Excellency, are the Germans planning to attack us with these planes?" An officer asked.

"Aircraft attacking warships? How is that possible? Our warships are so big, and they have thick armor, how can they be threatened by those toy-like planes? "David? Lieutenant General Betty said disdainfully.

"Let the ships be guarded. The Germans could not have sent these planes without any effect. "John? Admiral Jericho said.

"Yes, General."

It's just that, no matter how much protection they have, what can they do to the planes in the sky? These warships of the current British Navy are not equipped with anti-aircraft weapons.

On the other hand, the battle cruiser formation of the German Navy also spotted planes in the sky, which caused some commotion among the officers and men of the German Navy. However, after learning that the planes were their own, they calmed down and began to happily prepare to see their own planes perform.

"Your Excellency the Commander is really cautious, and actually let the aircraft carrier force take the lead in attacking the British. However, in this case, the British will be even more powerless! Lieutenant General Hippert couldn't help but shake his head, apparently sympathetic to the British.

As a senior general of the German Navy, Vice Admiral Hipperer also has some understanding of the combat effectiveness of aircraft carriers. Obviously, he did not think that the British would be able to withstand the attacks of these carrier-based aircraft.

Lieutenant General Shi Pei stared closely at these carrier-based aircraft with a telescope, and he wanted to see with his own eyes how powerful these carrier-based aircraft were in actual combat. After all, Qin Tianke said that in the future, the combination of carrier-based aircraft and aircraft carriers will replace capital ships and become the master of future naval warfare. As senior generals of the German Navy, they were extremely convinced of Qin Tian. But at the same time, they also want to test it with their own eyes.

"Attack!" When the carrier-based aircraft unit of the German Navy flew over the main fleet of the British Navy, the commander immediately gave the order to attack.

A flare, fired from the cockpit of a fighter jet. Because the development of radio miniaturization is still being made, there is no way to install a radio on every aircraft. In order to direct the actions of carrier-based aircraft, only the commander in charge can be equipped with a flare gun for directing the aircraft group.

After seeing the order, both fighters and torpedo attack aircraft began to attack. Fighter jets fired at the decks of British battleships with aerial machine guns, causing casualties to British naval personnel. Torpedo attack aircraft, on the other hand, dropped torpedoes directly at those battleships. Of course, in order to be able to ensure greater damage to the battleships of the British Navy, the first targets of attack were the 'Bellerophon-class' battleships, the 'St. Vincent-class' battleships, and the 'Giant-class' battleships.

These third-class battleships, which belonged to the battleships built in the early days of the British Navy, were relatively weak in defense and were easy to be damaged or even sunk.

When he saw that the German planes began to reduce their altitude and pounce on them, Johann? Admiral Jericho suddenly screamed in his heart.

"Damn, these planes of the Germans are going on the attack!"

However, they had no way to defend themselves, and could only watch as the German planes began to attack.

"Da Da Da!"

A fighter began to strafe, and the aviation machine gun in the nose fired a dense barrage of bullets. Bullets hit the battleship and burst out sparks.

"Ahh

Screams rang out, and some of the hapless eggs were hit. Aviation machine gun bullets are inherently powerful, and when hit, they are often torn to shreds.

The other British officers and sailors who looked strange were also frightened and hurriedly fled back to the cabin for shelter.

While these fighters were strafing, the torpedo attack planes also attacked. These planes, in groups of four, swooped directly at the British Navy's 'Bellerophon-class' and 'St. Vincent-class' battleships.
