Coal carriers, which are target ships, are not comparable in terms of defensive power compared with warships. In the face of 800 kg of aviation armor-piercing shells and 450-mm medium torpedoes, it was completely impossible to resist. Two of the four Falcon dive bombers that initially carried out dive bombing hit the target ship. Two heavy bombs pierced the top deck with a few strokes, and the bombs exploded inside, making the coal carrier a huge fireball. But that's just the beginning.

After the four 'Osprey' torpedo attack planes dropped their torpedoes, they quickly pulled them up. However, the four torpedoes rushed towards the target ship like a swordfish sailing in the water, leaving a series of water marks on the sea.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Three explosions sounded in quick succession on the side of the target ship. I saw the flames mixed with the water spray erupt from the side of the target ship into the sky. The side of the coal carrier could not withstand the attack of medium-sized torpedoes at all, and the light yì was torn apart. Three medium torpedoes were powerful enough to blow a coal carrier into several pieces. In fact, by this time, the fate of the target ship had already been decided.

However, the 'Falcon' dive bombers and 'Osprey' torpedo attack planes in the sky do not seem to have spared the meaning of this miserable target ship. The remaining eight 'Falcon' dive bombers and eight 'Osprey' torpedo attack planes, which had not yet had time to drop bombs, began to attack the target ship in accordance with the established attack procedures.

Aviation armor-piercing shells were dropped one after another, and torpedoes were also fired into the sea. Soon, the target ship once again sounded a dense explosion. By the time the smoke cleared, the target ship had disappeared. Only pieces of tattered wooden planks were left on the surface of the sea, which foreshadowed the fate of the target ship. Obviously. Under the sharp attack of the carrier-based aviation, the target ship has been completely destroyed. It was completely torn to shreds.

"These guys don't know how to save ammunition. The cost of aviation armor-piercing shells and aviation torpedoes is not cheap! Long Yufei couldn't help but complain. After all, after the end of the first wave of attacks, the fate of the target ship was decided, and subsequent attacks were completely unnecessary. However, he had to admit that when all these dive bombers and torpedo attack planes dropped their bombs, the effect was really shocking.

General Liu Zhongming, Chief of the General Staff, couldn't help but laugh when he heard Long Yufei's words. Still, he knew. Long Yufei was undoubtedly very satisfied with the performance of the carrier-based aviation this time. Under the sharp attack of carrier-based aviation, the target ship was already devoid of bones. This undoubtedly proves that once the battleships of the navy are besieged by carrier-based aviation, they will certainly be more than lucky. Even a battleship was much stronger than a coal carrier. However, after being hit by aviation armor-piercing shells and aviation torpedoes, it will be difficult for the battleship to escape the fate of being sunk! At the beginning, Liu Zhongming was also not optimistic about carrier-based aviation. It's just because of his unconditional trust in Long Yufei that he stands at his step. After all. Long Yufei has a unique vision and has never failed over the years. Now, the appearance of the carrier-based aviation has finally dissipated the worries in his heart.

Senior officials of the Navy, including the Minister of the Navy, Marshal Wei Yong. At the moment, he was already dumbfounded. They never imagined that toys in their eyes could be so powerful. The target ship was besieged by fighter planes. In the end, the appearance of light yì being sunk made them tremble. Many people are thinking about what if the battleship was besieged by carrier-based aircraft. Will it end like this? Such a result makes many people feel very bitter. They all realized. Carrier-based aircraft may really become the nemesis of battleships. The philosophy they have always adhered to is fundamentally wrong. This is indeed a very big blow to these giant ships and artillery factions.

"Guys, do you have any questions about carrier-based aviation now?" Long Yufei looked at the high-ranking naval officers whose faces were not very good-looking.

"I know you might think that the Navy's battleships are much stronger and faster than the coal carriers that are targets. Therefore, carrier-based aircraft can sink coal carriers lightly, but they may not be able to sink battleships lightly. I can understand your thoughts. So, I decided to continue the exercise. Next, the fighters taking off from the aircraft carrier will attack the battleship 'Ming Taizu'. However, in order to avoid accidental damage, the bombs and torpedoes used will be exercise ammunition without explosives. This time, I want you to be more fully aware! Long Yufei said. He knew that if he didn't wake up these arrogant guys this time, even if they assumed the strength of the carrier-based aviation on the surface, they would still not regard it as the same thing in private. Therefore, Long Yufei hopes to solve the problem once and for all.

After the carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier drops the bomb, it needs to return to the aircraft carrier to reload. This process takes more than two hours. After receiving an order from Emperor Long Yufei, Brigadier General Niu Zhiyuan, who built the 'Kunlun' aircraft carrier, immediately ordered the aircraft carrier's aircraft unit to continue its attack after a brief rest. However, this time, the target of the attack changed from the target ship to the battleship 'Ming Taizu'.

Although, the ammunition for the attack is all exercise ammunition. However, the attack on the flagship of the Imperial Navy's 1st Fleet still made the carrier-based pilots on the "Kunlun" aircraft carrier very excited. Although, they have always trained battleships as imaginary enemies. But this is the first real attack on a battleship! In particular, the object of the attack was the most powerful battleship of the Imperial Navy at the moment.

Soon, carrier-based aircraft taking off from the aircraft carrier "Kunlun" appeared. They swooped down on the battleship 'Ming Taizu' in large groups. The commander of the 1st Fleet, Admiral Xu Haihai, had already ordered the battleship 'Ming Taizu' to be ready for battle. Therefore, after the appearance of carrier-based aircraft, the battleship 'Ming Taizu' immediately increased its speed to 24 knots, and a high speed was obviously indispensable to avoid bombs and torpedoes falling from the sky.

Soon, carrier-based aircraft attacked. First of all, the 'Haidongqing' 2 fighter jet strafed. However, because the battleship 'Ming Taizu' did not have anti-aircraft gun emplacements, the fighters could only strafe the deck. Because it was an exercise ammunition, it did not cause any impact. Then, a sharp whistling sound sounded in the sky, and four Falcon dive bombers began to dive and drop bombs. Four black aviation armor-piercing shells fell from the sky.

"Left full rudder!" The construction of the battleship 'Ming Taizu' gave the order to turn. Sweating profusely in the face of bombs falling from the sky, he ordered the battleship to dodge. Although this is an exercise, it must be regarded as a real actual combat exercise.

The battleship 'Ming Taizu' narrowly avoided the aviation armor-piercing shells that fell from the sky, and the bombs fell into the sea and did not hit the battleship. However, an aerial bomb was only more than 10 meters away from the battleship from the position where it fell into the sea, which can already be regarded as a near-miss.

Having just avoided the aerial bombs, the captain of the battleship 'Ming Taizu' had not had time to catch his breath, and a new threat came. Four torpedoes came from the port side of the battleship 'Ming Taizu'. As a result, the battleship 'Ming Taizu' had to make an emergency rudder turn. In the end, the battleship "Ming Taizu" avoided three torpedoes, and one torpedo hit the amidships of the battleship "Ming Taizu".

Immediately afterwards, the rest of the dive bombers and torpedo attack planes also attacked, and the battleship 'Ming Taizu' rushed left and right on the sea to avoid the attacks of these fighters. However, in the end, it was still hit by two aviation armor-piercing shells and three torpedoes. Coupled with the torpedo that it ate earlier, the battleship 'Ming Taizu' had already eaten two aviation armor-piercing shells and four torpedoes.

At this moment, the generals who still remembered were silent. They knew that in fact, if the battleship 'Ming Taizu' was in actual combat, it would have suffered a greater blow. The previous near-miss bomb and the hit torpedo could cause damage to the 'Ming Taizu', although it could not sink the 'Ming Taizu' battleship, but it could have a great impact on its performance. After that, the new attack launched by the carrier-based aircraft will have more possibilities to hit the battleship 'Ming Taizu'. Even if the battleship 'Ming Taizu' has a strong defense, if it is hit one after another, even if it is not sunk, it is inevitable that it will be severely damaged.

The results of this exercise left all the senior naval officers speechless. Including the Minister of the Navy, Marshal Wei Yong, they have all recognized the reality one by one. If, before, they thought that the sinking of the target ship by the carrier-based aircraft was just luck, because the target ship could not be compared with the battleship in terms of defense and speed. But this time, the result gave them no chance to refute.

The battleship 'Ming Taizu' was the most powerful battleship in active service in the Imperial Navy. However, under the siege of carrier-based aircraft. The battleship 'Ming Taizu' did not have any ability to fight back, like a lamb to the slaughter, and was besieged by carrier-based aircraft. If it was in actual combat, the battleship 'Ming Taizu' would most likely have been sunk.

Even the battleship 'Ming Taizu' couldn't withstand the attack of carrier-based aircraft, not to mention that other battleships were already weaker than the 'Ming Taizu' battleship? Even if the 'Ming Taizu' battleship was equipped with anti-aircraft weapons, they would not be powerless to fight back in the face of the siege of carrier-based aircraft. But what if the attacking enemy aircraft are more numerous? Can the air defense network of the battleship "Ming Taizu" protect the battleship? No one dared to pack a ticket.

"Guys, do you have anything else to say now?" Emperor Long Yufei looked at the high-ranking officers of the navy. (To be continued......)
