At this time, the British Mediterranean Fleet was already within the attack radius of the Luftwaffe, and Rommel certainly could not miss such a good opportunity to attack, so he immediately ordered two BF109 fighter regiments and one JU87 dive bomber regiment to attack.

After the Anglo-Italian naval battle, the British commander Cunningham sent a telegram to Churchill and Montgomery that he thought he was a knight.

Churchill and Montgomery, of course, were ecstatic, and once Rommel lost the Italian fleet, Rommel's transportation lines would be completely cut off by the British in the future.

Even if Rommel had the ability to live in the day, he would only end up in defeat in North Africa, and Churchill and Montgomery were convinced of this.

Having won the battle, Cunningham did not immediately retreat with the British Mediterranean fleet, but led the fleet to pursue the German convoy at full speed, which, according to the reconnaissance of the aircraft, was seventy or eighty nautical miles away.

The British Mediterranean Fleet had two aircraft carriers, and while they were in pursuit, they released all the carrier-based aircraft, carrying torpedoes to attack.

Cunningham estimated in his mind that it would take about an hour to sink the more than 100 German transports, and it would be too late to retreat.

Corningham can only be described as lacking in people's hearts, and if he had retreated at full speed without hesitation after annihilating the Italian fleet, he might have escaped the German air raid.

It's a pity that he didn't choose to retreat immediately in order to annihilate the German convoy, Cunningham was too confident and greedy, he thought that he had two aircraft carriers, enough to provide air protection for the entire fleet.

Cunningham is so confident, and where does his confidence come from? Forty-eight Sea Spitfire carrier-based aircraft in his hands.

The Sea Spitfire fighter is a fighter that is on par with the German BF109. With forty-eight Sea Spitfires and the anti-aircraft artillery of the upper fleet, Cunningham believed that his fleet would be able to repel all invading enemies from the air.

The fiery red sun finally broke free from the entanglement of the white clouds, revealing half a smiling face, and the morning veil gradually shattered, swirling, circling, like wisps of light smoke, sprinkling the golden sunlight on the Tobruk airfield and shining on the smiling faces of the German crews.

A few small white clouds in the sky, like jasmine trimmed with gold edges, and countless German planes, draped in golden glow, rose from the runway of the airport, and then disappeared into the clouds, leaving only the roar that gradually faded away.

Among the planes taken off by the Germans this time, there were two BF109 fighter aviation regiments, two of which were equipped with six-barrel rockets, two of which were equipped with medium-sized torpedoes, and there was also a JU87 dive bomber regiment, with a total of more than 480 planes participating in the air raid on the sea.

It took about an hour for German planes to catch up with the British Mediterranean Fleet from Tobruk, and it was already dawn, the perfect time for the German strategic bombing detachment to attack.

"Buzz...... Buzz ......"

More than 400 German planes took off from Tobruk airfield, with German Air Force Colonel Ronaldo as the commander of the operation.

In order to facilitate the command, Ronaldo put his landline on the JU87, because the power of the JU87 radio station is larger than that of the BF109, which can fully meet the needs of regional command.

After nearly an hour of flying, Ronaldo first asked Rommel for instructions, and Rommel immediately informed him of the coordinates of the British fleet, and Ronaldo immediately ordered his strategic bomber group formation to accelerate and pounce on the target.

The sun rises in the east, the fog is gradually thinning, and the fog rolls around under the breeze, like icebergs and snow peaks, like Penglai fairyland, mirages, making people feel fluttering like immortals.

The sunlight revealed an orange halo, the mist gradually faded, and the red juice of the rising sun stained the clouds red, setting the golden light on the jet-black German planes, which were like messengers sent by God to rule the whole world.

Cunningham was drinking coffee comfortably, and last night's victory had put Corningham in a very good mood, and the carrier-based aircraft he sent had sunk half of the German transports.

Suddenly, an alert came from the outermost warship, saying:

"A large number of unidentified planes were found in the southeast, and the contact could not be contacted, indicating which planes could only be German or Italian."

The arrival of the German air raid aircraft frightened Cunningham into a cold sweat, and most of his carrier-based aircraft were sent out to attack the German transport fleet, while the Germans were attacking the fleet at this time.

Even if the carrier-based aircraft sent back at this time, their own carrier-based aircraft would not be able to fight the Germans, because their fuel was not enough to support them in an air battle with the German aircraft group.

Cunningham cursed secretly:

"Damn Rommel, why are you always insidious."

Cunningham hurriedly asked the herald to sound the alarm and formed a tight anti-aircraft formation for his fleet.

The air defense formation can form a very dense air defense fire, and this kind of dense air defense fire network is very difficult to break through, and this formation is also a common practice in this era.

If Ronaldo knew that the commander of the British Mediterranean Fleet was still using the old-fashioned dense fleet air defense formation, I am afraid that he would wake up laughing in his dreams.

You must know that the "BF109" carries rockets, which are weapons with dense surface coverage.

Although the accuracy of the rocket is not high, the "BF109" is a dive shot at a British warship, and the accuracy is still guaranteed to a certain extent.

It is difficult to say whether it is possible to hit a warship with rockets from airplanes, and for the German Air Force, it is still a big girl who is connected to a sedan chair -- the first time, and it is really difficult to say if the effect is in the end.

Now the British Mediterranean Fleet is actually using a secret formation, which is exactly what Ronaldo dreamed of, and the bombing effect of the German Air Force has added a few cents of power to the tactics arranged by the British themselves.

"Woooooooooo......oo Woowoo woo ......"

The air defense sirens of the British Mediterranean Fleet can be heard even by Ronaldo, but this makes Ronaldo even more excited.

Commanding 164 "BF109s" to swarm towards the British Mediterranean Fleet, more than 100 JU87s were rushing over the British Fleet, and more than 100 BF109s were on alert at high altitudes to prevent the sudden return of British carrier-based aircraft.

Ronaldo also learned Rommel's tricks, since he has absolute strength, he has no reservations, the whole army is bet, and then attacks from all sides, life and death are this hammer deal.

The British Mediterranean Fleet, with the exception of the British Home Fleet, was the most powerful British fleet of any other foreign fleet.

The British Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet, led by the prestigious Admiral Andrew ? Commanding Sir Cunningham, he had a reputation in the navy as a "calm and strong sailor", with a knack for judging the situation and being astute.

But at this time, even if Cunningham was calm and alert, he couldn't change his disadvantage of being beaten passively.

Countless German planes flocked from all directions, and these German planes had a very clear division of labor, with torpedo-mounted planes flying close to the sea, rocket-mounted planes attacking from mid-altitude air, and JU87 diving and shouting its own high-altitude assault.
