"The fleet is moving at full speed! Serpentine maneuver to dodge enemy bombardment! When the admiral heard the Speaker's order, he hurriedly spoke. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The battleship Zhang Fei has lost a small half of its power, and the fire on board does not look small. Such losses came too suddenly, which was somewhat difficult for the navy to bear.

What's more, the battleship Zhang Fei is just the beginning of the bomber attack of the Ming Empire this time! Dive bombers after dive bombers were rushing down from the clouds and attacking the battleships of Ceylon.

The history of world naval warfare was completely turned upside down on this day, and the aircraft ...... In particular, the advent of aircraft capable of carrying large bombs changed the traditional pattern of warfare at sea.

Although this is not the first time that a fighter has attacked a battleship, it is an attack that has really caused significant damage to the battleship!

Earlier planes, although they had also interfered with the attack on the battleship, were only harassing. The attack on the weak one is like tickling the battleship, and it can't tear through the battleship's sturdy armor.

The difference is that this time the dive bomber, with its precise and powerful attack, proved that although the aircraft is small, it can pose a deadly threat to a huge battleship.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, Miao Shengye found that in this war, the war mode of land, sea and air is changing with the development of science and technology.

Unconsciously, the war on land was changed by tanks developed by the Ming Empire. The tactical evolution began to be abundant, and the imagination of the commanders was no longer limited by the boring positional warfare.

Also unconsciously, new battlefields have appeared in the sky, new planes have made the sky important, and more and more related tactics have been extended.

The changes at sea have put Ceylon and Britain, which are more dominant in this field, under unprecedented pressure.

Not only from the pressure from the sky, from the planes, but also from the submarines with new weapons under the surface.

It is impossible for the submarines developed by Japan to be kept secret for a long time, and in the near future, both submarines and aircraft will become challengers to the supremacy of battleships at sea.

And in the midst of this challenge, if Ceylon and Britain take a wrong step, it may bring about a real catastrophe.

Obviously, in the new field, the Ming Empire, which invested the most in the early stage, had more advantages than Britain and Ceylon. This made Miao Shengye feel the pressure, unprecedented pressure......

On the battleship Guan Yu, when Miao Shengye was still thinking about these trivial things, Zhang Fei had already been hit by a third dive bomber.

It was almost impossible for a battleship to avoid the precise bombing of dive bombers when there was no interference and it was still at low speed.

High accuracy of hits is inherently an advantage of dive bombers, especially when targeting battleships at low speeds and huge targets.

The battleship Zhang Fei, which did not arrange its defense in advance, was hit by three aerial bombs at once, and it really paid a lot of price.

However, the huge battleship did not hurt the bones. It looked embarrassed, but it was not in the slightest danger of sinking, and it did not even pass through the most core armored protection area.

Because of this, Zhang Fei, who was still struggling to turn, was not too flustered. While directing the damage management personnel to rescue the fire, the captain sent a message to the Guan Yu, where Miao Shengye was located, to report safety.

Before receiving this telegram, Miao Shengye broke free from his own thoughts, and he gave the order for air combat, so that all the battleships stopped shelling Luzon.

The main guns stopped firing, some of the small-caliber rapid-fire guns on the deck were ready for use, and some sailors opened the hatches and picked up their rifles.

Thinking that there was a lack of anti-aircraft firepower, the anti-aircraft weapons on the battleship could only rely on these rifles, which had no effect on weekdays.

The battle was still going on, the dive bombers of the Ming Empire dropped bombs on the decks of one battleship after another, and soon, the battleship Huo Qubing was also hit by bombs, but it did not catch fire after the explosion.

"Suddenly! Dodo! "He has already used up his own bombs, and when attacking the battleship Guan Yu, Li Haoran can only use the 20 mm caliber cannon on his plane to cover his friendly aircraft.

His shells made two neat rows of bullet holes on the deck of the Guan Yu, and killed all the sailors standing on these two rows of bullet holes.

Unfortunately, the dive bomber he was covering did not hit the battleship Guan Yu, and the bomb exploded in the water on the side of the battleship Guan Yu, setting off a huge column of water.

The huge impact force made a steel plate on the side of the battleship Guan Yu twist and deform, and some water also entered. But on the whole, the damage caused was negligible.

Because only one bomb was carried, most of the planes quickly ran out of ammunition. Li Haoran had to drive the plane away stupidly, temporarily letting go of the Ceylon warships in front of him.

Of course, Miao Shengye would not stay here and sit still, he immediately ordered his battleship fleet to sail to the open sea and leave this dangerous sea.

As for supporting the landing force, he decided to leave this kind of thing to the cruisers and destroyers, at least the loss of some of these slightly smaller battleships, which would not make the navy feel so distressed.

The main guns of 6 battleships were lost at once, and the suppression of artillery fire on the coast was immediately reduced by half. The shore defense troops of the Ming Empire immediately became active, and the battle on the shore once again became stalemate.

Ceylon's maritime transport fleet was constantly sending soldiers to Luzon, and now they were much more efficient because of the lack of aircraft interference.

What made Miao Shengye depressed was that his decoy fleet had not had time to entangle with the main fleet of the Ming Empire, and he lost two battleships, which was obviously not a good sign.

The battleship Huo Qubing and the Zhang Fei could only leave the battlefield and return for maintenance, which reduced the overall strength of the decoy fleet.

In this way, the danger of the decoy fleet in the face of the main fleet of the Ming Empire increased several times. You must know that once the decoy fleet can't hold on and is overwhelmed by the fleet of the Ming Empire in advance, the outcome of this naval battle is not so certain.

Therefore, while breaking away from the sea theater near Luzon, Miao Shengye gave Balek? Admiral Lem sent a secret telegram.

After being forced to change the sea area of the decisive battle, Miao Shengye sent out the bad news that two battleships were injured and could not participate in the battle at the same time.
