"Your Excellency, Commander, what happened?" Vice Admiral Roslyn Wells, Chief of Staff of the Combined Fleet, saw John Brown. Admiral Jericho's face was a little wrong, and he hurriedly asked.

"Impossible! When pigs fly! How could those little toys sink a huge battlecruiser? This must not be true! "John. Admiral Jericho roared. It is clear that he simply did not believe that the fighters of the Chinese naval aviation would be able to sink the capital ship. In his opinion, these planes are nothing more than flies, and although annoying, there is absolutely no possibility of really sinking the capital ship.

"What? Something happened to the battlecruiser formation? "Roslyn. Lieutenant General Wells was also greatly shocked when he learned from John. Admiral Jericho took the telegram and looked at it, which said that all three battlecruisers of the battlecruiser formation had been sunk under siege by Chinese aircraft, and now the other battleships of the battlecruiser formation were converging on the main force of the fleet.

"Oh God! I can't believe that these little planes are really capable of sinking capital ships! "Roslyn. Lieutenant General Wells exclaimed, and there was a hint of horror in his eyes as he looked at the warplanes hovering in the sky again. Although the Chinese planes that were originally circling over the main force of the Combined Fleet caused some casualties to the Combined Fleet, they were unable to cause any damage to the huge and sturdy capital ships. Therefore, the officers and men of the Combined Ship Squadron believed that these fighters could not harm them. But now, the telegrams sent back from the battlecruiser formations show that these planes really have the strength to sink capital ships.

"Your Excellency, if these planes really have the strength to sink capital ships, then we are in danger. Now it seems that this is most likely a trap laid by the Chinese, who lure us here and then want to sink us with planes! "Roslyn. Lieutenant General Wells said. If this is the case, then the Combined Fleet will have to evacuate quickly.

Admiral John Jericho was still a little hesitant, he still couldn't believe that three battlecruisers had been sunk by these planes. Although he had long judged that this was a trap set by the Chinese, he thought that the main force to attack the combined fleet would be submarines, but he did not expect that the Chinese would indeed use fighters. This was a big surprise to him. Or, before today, no one would have thought of such a situation. It's a joke that a huge capital ship like a hill would be sunk by these small fighters!

It was at this time that 28 c'Osprey, torpedo attack aircraft flew from the east. They were the remaining aircraft of the 2nd Brigade of the 1st Wing of the Naval Aviation.

All other aircraft had been used on the battlecruisers attacking the battlecruiser formations of the combined fleet of the British and French Navy.

"Haha! You're finally here! Attack! Sink all the big guys down there! Rear Admiral Chen Guoguo, Wing Commander of the 1st Wing of the Chinese Naval Aviation, ordered. He led dozens of them

'Puffin, fighter jets have been wreaking havoc over the Combined Fleet for so long, but they can't hurt those thick-skinned capital ships. Now the'Osprey, torpedo attack aircraft have arrived and can teach the British and French a hard lesson.

More than two dozen 'Osprey, torpedo attack planes immediately dispersed, in groups of four, and flew towards those huge battleships. At this moment, the 13 capital ships of the combined fleet of the British and French Navy are lined up in four battle lines, which is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for the 'Osprey' and torpedo attack aircraft in the sky.

Osprey, torpedo attack aircraft flew to the left of the battleship Warrior of the combined fleet of the British and French Navy. The three largest of the 'Queen Elizabeth class', battleships were undoubtedly the first targets of these torpedo attack aircraft.

"Your Excellency, Commander, four planes are coming towards us. These four planes are different from the previous ones, they are bigger! "A staff officer asked John Murphy to pay attention. Admiral Jericho reported.

"Humph! Is it trying to attack the 'Warriors, No.'? I'd like to see how they sink the capital ship! "John. Admiral Jericho said disdainfully. He never believed that these planes would be able to sink capital ships until he saw them with his own eyes.

"Something is wrong! Commander, there are torpedoes underneath these planes! They attacked the capital ship with torpedoes! "Roslyn. Lieutenant General Wells exclaimed. He had also been observing the planes, and through the binoculars, he could clearly see the heavy torpedoes mounted under the belly.

At this time, the four Osprey and torpedo attack planes had already flown less than 500 meters away from the battleship Warrior. Because the battleship Warrior did not attack, these Osprey, torpedo attack aircraft dropped torpedoes at as close range as possible.

Later, at a distance of four hundred and fifty meters from the battleship Warrior, four Osprey, torpedo attack planes dropped torpedoes in turn. After four 533-mm heavy torpedoes entered the water, they first sank a few meters under the influence of gravity, and then began to rush towards the battleship Warrior, which was more than 400 meters away. The torpedo traveled at high speed, leaving white trails of water on the sea.

"Damn! It's really a torpedo! Evade it now! "John. Admiral Jericho's face turned pale. Now he no longer doubts that these planes have the strength to sink capital ships. He could clearly see that these planes were dropping heavy torpedoes.

Even a thick-skinned battleship can't withstand the ravages of these heavy torpedoes! though

'Warrior, the battleship had a displacement of up to 33,000 tons, and the armor of the waterline was also 330 mm thick. But if you get hit by a heavy torpedo, you will also be hit hard. It only takes a few torpedoes to kill the battleship Warrior.

'Warrior, the battleship immediately began to evade, like a frightened bison, and began to sway from side to side on the surface of the sea, trying to avoid the four torpedoes that were striking at high speed on the surface. At the same time, the 152-mm secondary guns and 76-mm rapid-fire guns on the port side of the battleship 'Warrior' also opened fire

Others destroy those torpedoes. However, these shells were not at all lethal against torpedoes that were sailing at high speeds of several meters under water.

The distance of 450 meters took only thirty seconds for a heavy torpedo with a speed of 30 knots. And these four torpedoes fanned towards the battleship Warrior, Warrior, it was impossible for the battleship to completely avoid these four torpedoes in just thirty seconds.

"Boom!" A loud bang exploded on the left side of the battleship, and the huge impact made the officers and men on the battleship stagger. Admiral Jericho fell on his heels. However, he could not care so much anymore, and as soon as he got up from the deck, he cried out: "What about the losses? What about the losses? ”

'Warrior, the battleship was lucky, only one of the torpedoes hit the target. Of the other three torpedoes, two missed, and the other went under the belly of the battleship 'Warrior' because it was too deep.

"Your Excellency, Commander, 'Warrior, the ship was hit below the waterline on the left side and was blown out of a gap. Now the damage management personnel are rushing to repair. However, even if it can't be blocked, we can close the watertight compartment to ensure that the battleship does not sink by guò. However, in that case, the speed of the battleship will be affected! "'Warrior, the captain of the battleship reported.

In the case of the huge hull of the battleship 'Warrior, being hit by a heavy torpedo would not have caused too much damage. But again, it will not be pleasant, which will affect the combat performance of the battleship 'Warrior, to a certain extent.

'Warrior, the battleship was attacked by 4 'Osprey, torpedo attack planes, and in the end it was hit by only one torpedo, which was already very lucky. But the other battleships didn't have such good luck.

'War-weary, battleship,' Queen Elizabeth class, ship No. 2 of battleships. When the battleship was attacked by 4 'Osprey, torpedo attack aircraft, it was not able to react in time and did not evade it in time. As a result, the end was very tragic. One of the heavy torpedoes hit the battleship, tearing four huge openings on the right side of the battleship. even though

Tired of war, the captain of the battleship gave the order to close the watertight compartment at the first time. However, due to too much water, the hull of the ship has gradually begun to tilt, and finally capsized on the surface of the sea and slowly sank to the bottom of the sea. Of the more than 900 British naval officers and sailors on the battleship, except for a very few who escaped smoothly, the rest sank to the bottom of the sea with the battleship and slept here!

Another 'Queen Elizabeth-class, battleship Balham, another in the combined fleet of the British and French Navy, was also the main target of the Chinese naval aviation. 'Barham, the battleship evaded it in time when it was attacked. However, two of the four torpedoes hit him, causing the battleship to suffer heavy damage.

In addition, the Combined Fleet's 'Iron Duke, battleship,' Ben Bau, battleship as well

The battleship Canada, the three huge battleships second only to the Queen Elizabeth class in size, also became the main targets of the attack. Although they were not sunk, they were both traumatized by different paths.

The battleship 'Lorraine, of the French Navy, was also attacked, was hit with two torpedoes, and two huge openings were made in the starboard side of the battleship. Although the French naval officers and sailors desperately plugged the hole, the battleship was flooded too much and it had already tilted. Although the guò poured water on the other side, the battleship was restored to balance. But the speed is only 16 knots!
