4 heavy torpedoes of 533 mm rushed at high speed towards the battlecruiser 'New Zealand'. The battlecruiser "New Zealand", which was dodging the "Fish Eagle" dive bombers that were constantly diving down in the sky, did not notice the danger coming from the left front. After being warned, but it was already too late, it was simply impossible for a hull with a displacement of up to 22,000 tons and a length of 180 meters to dodge 4 torpedoes from a fan-shaped attack.

"Boom! Rumble! "Two loud bangs sounded in the bow of the battlecruiser 'New Zealand'. Two of the four torpedoes hit the battlecruiser, one near the waterline in the bow and the other in the back of the bow. The two heavy torpedoes contained 120 kg of high-explosive charge, which was more powerful than a 343-mm naval artillery shell.

In the violent explosion, the battlecruiser 'New Zealand' jumped out of the water like a frightened fish, and the entire capital of the ship was lifted out of the water, and then smashed into the sea, and the entire bow was destroyed in the explosion. The sea frantically poured into the battlecruiser 'New Zealand' through the hole in the bow, and the hull quickly tilted, and the bow sank into the sea quickly, and the soldiers and debris on the deck fell into the sea like dumplings.

After such heavy damage, the battleship 'New Zealand' had absolutely no chance of survival. The captain gave the order to abandon the ship at the first time, however, the entire battleship sank to the bottom of the sea in less than two minutes. A huge swirling socket was left on the surface of the sea. Eight hundred British naval officers and sailors on the battleship. Only a few dozen people managed to escape, and the rest sank to the bottom of the sea with the battleship.

Another battlecruiser in the Combined Fleet's battle cruiser formation, the Indomitable, was also besieged by more than a dozen Fish Eagle dive bombers. However, Indomitable had better luck and evaded the bombing of two squads of Fish Eagle dive bombers in succession. However, by the time the 4 Fish Eagle dive bombers of the 3rd Squad were making a dive, the Indomitable seemed to have run out of luck.

During this dive bombardment, two of the four aerial bombs hit the battlecruiser Indomitable. One blew a large hole in the foredeck. The other destroyed the rear main gun. This was not the most fatal blow to the Indomitable battlecruiser. While the Indomitable battlecruiser was dodging the Fish Eagle dive bombers in the sky, eight Osprey torpedo attack planes dropped eight torpedoes 600 meters to the left of the Indomitable. Eight 533 mm heavy torpedoes rushed at high speed towards the Indomitable battlecruiser.

The soldiers on the left deck of the battlecruiser Indomitable spotted the torpedoes approaching at high speed, and while warning them, they fired frantically at the sea with their 46mm rapid-fire guns on the side in an attempt to destroy the torpedoes that were approaching at high speed. However, their efforts were completely futile.

At the same time, the battlecruiser Indomitable also began to make an emergency evasion, and the huge hull quickly turned to the right in an attempt to avoid the torpedo. But. Eight torpedoes fanned out, the 172-meter-long hull of the battlecruiser Indomitable. There's no way around it.

In the end, three of the eight torpedoes hit the vulnerable battleship, the other five missed, however, one torpedo hit a British Navy destroyer. The destroyer, with a displacement of just over a thousand tons, could not withstand the heavy torpedoes at all and was blown to pieces on the spot.

The battlecruiser Indomitable was killed by three heavy torpedoes, and the entire hull was cut into several pieces when it exploded, and it quickly sank into the sea, and none of the more than 780 naval officers and men on the battleship survived.

From the start of the attack by the first dive bomber to the sinking of three battle cruisers of the combined fleet of the British and French Navy, it took only ten minutes. However, in just ten minutes, three powerful battlecruisers sank into the sea. This result not only suppressed the officers and men of the combined fleet of the British and French Navy, but also shocked the officers and men of the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Chinese Navy, who were watching the battle on the sidelines.

Even Admiral Li Haitao had observed naval air exercises, but this was the first time in actual combat that he had seen a huge group of planes attacking the enemy's capital ship in groups, and destroying the enemy's capital ship so lightly. And other officers and soldiers also saw this kind of scene for the first time, this way of naval warfare. After the performance of naval aviation, everyone was already dumbfounded.

"Commander, it seems that the era of battleships has really passed, and huge battleships cannot withstand the attacks of fighters. Battleships with a huge displacement are nothing more than targets for these fighters! Vice Admiral Wu Zhiyuan, chief of staff of the Indian Ocean Fleet, said with emotion.

"Huh! This is indeed the case, and the law of the development of naval warfare seems to be like this. Thankfully, however, we are once again ahead of the West. Our four 'Emeishan-class' aircraft carriers have already been formed, but they may not have our share, and they will all have to be used in the operation against the United States. However, the next level of 'Wuyue-class' aircraft carriers can not score two of us. The time will come for our Indian Ocean Fleet to ravage the navies of the Western powers! Admiral Li Haitao said. He was more open to the point that naval aviation would replace battleships and become the main striking force in naval warfare. This is because this is completely the law of the development of naval warfare, and it is precisely because the Chinese navy is ahead of the world's navies that it has developed rapidly. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Chinese Navy to challenge Western navies. And now, the Chinese Navy has once again been ahead of the world, so what's so bad?

The rapid sinking of the three battle cruisers shocked the light cruisers and destroyers in the combined fleet of the British and French navies who had followed the three battlecruisers, and they quickly turned their bows and fled westward, while reporting the sinking of the three battle cruisers to the commander of the combined fleet, John Brown. Admiral Jericho reports. Although they also think that this is really incredible, the facts are in front of them, and they can't believe it!

When the commander of the combined fleet of the British and French navies, John . By the time Admiral Jericho received the telegram back from the light cruisers and destroyers of the battle cruiser formation, the warplanes of the Chinese naval aviation had already flown over their heads. John. Admiral Jericho looked at the fighters with disdain, he wanted to see how these toy-like fighters could sink their huge capital ship.

The first to fly over the main force of the British and French combined fleet was the F5B 'Puffin' fighter of the 1st Group of the 2nd Wing of the Chinese Naval Air Force, the 'Fish Eagle' dive bombers behind were dealing with the three battle cruisers, and the 'Osprey' torpedo attack planes were still on their way. However, the Wing Commander of the 2nd Wing, Rear Admiral Chen Guoguo, did not continue to wait, but ordered the fighters to launch an attack on the main fleet of the British and French Navy.

Forty fighters circled down and rushed towards the 13 huge capital ships of the combined British and French fleet, and two small bombs were dropped under the wings, but most of them landed on the surface of the sea, blowing up columns of water. Occasionally, bombs fell on battleships, but the thick armor of battleships was not something that such a 25-kilogram bomb could blow through.

Seeing this kind of scene, John. Admiral Jericho couldn't help but laugh. In his opinion, these planes of the Chinese naval aviation are completely like clowns performing juggling. A powerful capital ship is simply not something that these planes that can only be used as toys can deal with.

Originally, because a large group of aircraft appeared in the sky, the officers and men of the British and French Navy Combined Fleet were relieved when they saw that these fighters could not harm the warships at all, and they even ran to the deck and pointed at the fighters of the Chinese naval aviation in the sky.

Such a show of the combined fleet of the British and French navies provoked the fighters in the sky. This time, the fighters had already dropped their bombs, and the only weapons left were the aviation machine guns in the nose.

"Da Da Da!" One after another, the F5B 'Puffin' fighters began to strafe the warships of the British and French combined fleets, and the dense bullets swept by, and the officers and men of the British and French Navy, who were watching a good show on the deck, suddenly suffered heavy casualties, many fell in a pool of blood, and the rest of the people also hid in the cabins, looking at the fighters that were circling in the sky in horror.

"Damn! Knock down all those damn flies! "Seeing the warplanes in the sky shooting their own personnel with machine guns, John . Admiral Jericho roared.

It's just that the battleships at this moment are not equipped with weapons for air shooting, whether it is a large-caliber main gun or a small-caliber rapid-fire gun, they are all sea or land attacks, and the elevation angle is low, so they cannot deal with targets in the sky.

Some heroic naval soldiers, picking up their rifles, rushed to the deck and fired at the planes in the sky.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! The sound of rifle fire like fried beans sounded, but it did not pose any threat to the fighters in the sky, but only angered them. When the planes fired at the brave British and French sailors, they all fell in a pool of blood. After that, no one dared to launch an attack on the fighters in the sky.

At this time, on the battleship "Warrior", a communications officer translated the telegram sent back from the battle cruiser formation in front, and the whole person's face suddenly turned pale.

When the communications officer handed the telegram to John. After Admiral Jellico, John Jerricht. Admiral Jericho was dumbfounded, his eyes widened as if they were dead fish! (To be continued......)
