"Your Excellency, Commander, the battle cruiser formation reports that the Chinese dispatched a large number of aircraft." Chief of Staff of the Combined Fleet, Roslyn. Vice Admiral Wells sent a letter to Fleet Commander John Brown. Admiral Jericho reported.

"Airplanes? What's the use of that? "John. Admiral Jericho asked in surprise.

"Perhaps, the Chinese want to attack our warships with aircraft! It's like they bombed the US Army with planes on the Mexican battlefield. I heard that the US Army suffered heavy losses under the bombardment of their planes! "Roslyn. Lieutenant General Wells said.

"Haha! Those yellow-skinned monkeys are too whimsical! That toy might be useful for enemies on land, but will it also be useful for ships that are fast sailing on the sea? I don't believe it. Besides, the battleship's thick armor was enough to withstand bombs dropped from airplanes. "John. Admiral Jericho laughed and laughed, apparently believing that this tactic adopted by the Chinese Navy was very ridiculous and would never succeed.

"The Chinese always take some strange tricks on the battlefield. However, I am also very curious, how did they come up with the idea of using planes to attack the opposing warship? The plane is so small, like a toy, want to destroy a battleship of tens of thousands of tons, how is it possible? "Roslyn. Vice Admiral Wells shook his head speechlessly, apparently not believing that the Chinese Navy's fighters could do anything to their massive battleships.

"I finally know the traps of the Chinese. The Chinese deliberately brought us here, presumably to create a zào opportunity for the aircraft they deployed in Sicily. The Chinese are vainly trying to defeat us with airplanes, which is simply delusional. Order all ships to be ready for battle, and when the battle cruiser formation intercepts the Chinese Navy, we will rush up and kill them all! "John. Admiral Jericho said in high spirits, looking like he was holding the victory, and the original worries in his heart disappeared without a trace after the mystery had been solved. He had always worried that the Combined Fleet would fall into the trap of the Chinese Navy, but he never imagined that the Chinese Navy would actually plan to use aircraft against the Combined Fleet. John. Admiral Jericho didn't think that the massive capital ship would be destroyed by a small plane. Therefore, he thought that the combined fleet had won this battle!

John. Unbeknownst to Admiral Jericho, the plane, which he thought was nothing more than a toy, had launched an attack on the Combined Fleet's battle cruiser formation at this time, and had put the three battlecruisers in deep danger.

"Give me the 3rd squadron! Blow up the big guy below! Lieutenant Colonel Ding Jianwei, captain of the 3rd Brigade of the Naval Aviation Wing, ordered. He had his sights set on the Royal Princess, the largest battle cruiser in the Combined Fleet's battle cruiser formation, the British Navy's 'Lion class, the only surviving battlecruiser.

1 'Fish Eagle, Dive Bomber, 3rd Squadron, 3rd Squadron, 3rd Wing, 1 Squadron, 1 Fish Eagle, 1 Dive Bomber Arrived

'The royal princess, over the battlecruiser, began to prepare for a dive to drop bombs. At this moment, the royal princess, the officers and men on the ship, had no idea what was happening, they had never encountered such a situation at all, and they did not know how to defend against the fighters in the sky.

One of the 3rd Squadron of the 3rd Wing Fish Eagle dive bombers began to dive and drop bombs on the battlecruiser Princess Royal in turn. The first to dive were 4 'Fish Eagles' led by the squadron leader himself, and the dive bombers.

"Boom!" 'Fish eagles, dive bombers will also make a shrill whistling sound when they dive with mechanical energy, which makes people's scalp tingle. The royal princess, the British officers and sailors of the battlecruiser, covered their ears and watched in horror at the rapid swooping down in the sky.

"What's going on with the Chinese's fighters? Is it broken? Watching the warplanes in the sky swoop down towards the battleship, many British naval officers and sailors thought so.

In the sky, 4 'Fish Eagles, dive bombers, quickly dived downward, at an angle of 60 degrees

'Royal Princess, the trumpet swooped down. At a distance of only two hundred meters from the battlecruiser Princess Royal, an aerial bomb weighing 500 kilograms under the belly was dropped, relying on inertial direction

'Royal princess, the battlecruiser smashes down.

"What's that?" 'Royal Princess, the captain of the battlecruiser himself thought that the plane of the Chinese naval aviation was in trouble and was about to crash. However, the planes were then seen pulling up again, and at the same time, several black objects were falling towards the battleship.

"Bomb! That's the bomb that the plane carried! "'Royal Princess, the lookout on the battlecruiser was the first to notice what those black spots were, and immediately warned them. But it's too late!

Only one of the bombs dropped by the dive bombers hit the target, and the other three fell into the sea. At this time, the royal princess, the bow of the battlecruiser was already covered in smoke. Aerial bombs from a height of more than two hundred meters! Falling in the air, the light yì smashed through the 'Royal Princess, the battlecruiser had only 64 millimeters of deck armor. Aerial bombs exploded inside the hull of the 'Royal Princess, creating a large crater in the deck of the bow of the deck. The other three aerial bombs also exploded a column of water tens of meters high on the sea surface.

"Oh God! Is that the power of those toys? "'Royal Princess, the British officers and men of the battlecruiser are all stunned at this moment. Those bombs dropped from airplanes are not as powerful as large-caliber naval guns! So far, only one bomb has hit the battlecruiser Princess Royal, and although it has not caused fatal damage, it has already stunned the British sailors.

"The 2nd squad and the 1st team continue to drop bombs, give me a little accuracy!" The squadron leader of the 3rd squadron, who had just finished dropping bombs, ordered.

Another 'fish eagle in the sky, a dive bomber, also entered the dive channel and began to dive.

"Turn! Hurry up and avoid it! "At this moment, 'Royal Princess, the captain of the battlecruiser did not dare to underestimate these planes anymore, and immediately ordered the battleship to quickly evade.

'The royal princess, the battlecruiser immediately made an emergency turn. However, with a displacement of up to 29,000 tons, the battlecruiser Princess-Royal had a hull like a hill. If you want to make a quick turn, it's completely unlikely.

Soon, the other 8 'Fish Eagles, dive bombers of the 3rd Squadron also dropped bombs. This time, three of the eight bombs hit the target. These three aerial bombs, weighing 500 kilograms, completely killed the 'royal princess, the battlecruiser.

A bomb blew up the main gun on the foredeck. Another bomb hit the stern, destroying the rear half of the stern compartment and flooding the ship. The British Navy's warships were not very reasonable in the design of watertight compartments, and the battleship could not be prevented from sinking by closing the watertight door after entering the water. The last bomb hit the bridge, killing more than a dozen officers, including the captain. The rapid intake of the stern caused the 'Royal Princess, the bow of the ship to be lifted high and lifted out of the water, eventually sinking to the bottom of the sea with the bow facing up.

After the battlecruiser 'Royal Princess, which was heavily damaged, the Chinese Navy's aviation spared the first battleship, which had been sunk by fighters, and pounced on the other two battlecruisers. The planes that dropped the bombs returned home, ready to reload their bombs before coming back to fight.

Two other squadrons of the 3rd Wing Battalion, to 'New Zealand, battlecruisers

'Indomitable, the battlecruiser pounced. At this moment, the two battle cruisers have already seen

'Royal Princess, the tragic sight of the battlecruiser. Even the 'Royal Princess, the battlecruiser, can't resist it, let alone their two battlecruisers.

'New Zealand, battlecruiser and' Indomitable, battlecruiser quickly turned, ready to escape. But no matter how fast the speed of a battleship is, it cannot be compared with an airplane.

Two other squadrons of the 3rd Brigade of the 1st Wing, one squadron against a battle cruiser. Immediately after flying over the battlecruiser, dive bombing began.

At this time, the Osprey and torpedo attack planes of the 2nd Brigade of the 1st Wing also arrived on the battlefield. 'Osprey, the torpedo attack planes were slow, and when they arrived at the battlefield, they had already seen the 'Royal Princess, the battlecruiser was slowly sinking, and the other two battlecruisers were under siege by the other two squadrons of the 3rd Group, and it was estimated that they would not be able to escape the poison. As a result, the captain of the 2nd Group ordered 1 torpedo attack aircraft of the 3rd Squadron of the 2nd Group to stay behind and cooperate with the 3rd Group to besiege the other two battle cruisers, while the other Osprey and torpedo attack planes of the 2nd Group continued to fly towards Sai, preparing to attack the main force of the Combined Fleet. You know, these three battle cruisers are just appetizers, and there are 13 capital ships of the Combined Fleet behind them!

"Boom!" An aerial bomb weighing 500 kg exploded on the battlecruiser New Zealand, destroying the first chimney of the entire apostle. Billowing smoke enveloped almost the entire battleship.

At this time, a small group of Osprey and torpedo attack planes circled to the left front of the battlecruiser New Zealand and dropped torpedoes less than 500 meters away from New Zealand, and the whole process was not hindered in any way.

"Torpedo! 4 torpedoes at 10 o'clock, evade immediately! "'New Zealand, the officers and men of the battlecruiser spotted the torpedo and quickly issued a warning. But at a distance of 500 meters, for a heavy torpedo with a speed of 30 knots, it only takes thirty seconds.
