The high-altitude bombing was not effective, but the Yamaman Air Force, knowing that the decks of the Axis aircraft carriers were unarmoured, decided to use small bombs to increase the number of bombs they carried, and even the hundred kilograms of bombs they carried were enough to penetrate the deck of the carrier.

The Kunpeng 2 bomber slowly flew over the Axis fleet, dropping a dense stream of bombs on enemy aircraft carriers, and it was as if a rain of bombs had fallen over the Axis fleet. Only a hundred kilograms of bombs fell on the battleships, causing only minor damage, but those cruisers and destroyers with a smaller displacement were out of luck.

Weakly armored cruisers and destroyers, although not sinking in a single blow, were quite badly damaged, and if several of them were hit, they were also in danger of sinking, but their losses were not as painful as the aircraft carriers.

The carrier's wide through-deck targets are too large to be easily targeted, and once hit, at least three or four are hit. Although the power of a 100-kilogram aerial bomb is not great, the power of several explosions that smash into the hull of a ship is not something that an aircraft carrier of more than 30,000 tons can bear, especially when its compartment system is not good and it is easy to cause a martyrdom, the aircraft carrier is even more tragic.

The Kunpeng 2 bombers were not in large numbers, and they left after only half an hour of bombing, but the Kunpeng 2 bomber group had just left, and the Junkers 87A dive bomber group came again.

One after another, the Junkers 87A, which had bombarded accurately, first raised their noses and jumped to a high speed of 6,000 meters, and then turned their heads and descended, with an indomitable momentum, to pounce on the Axis warships that were desperately resisting with anti-aircraft fire.

In order to prevent the bomb from damaging the propeller when it detached from the fuselage, each aircraft used a special outward-throwing bomb pylon, and a 1,000-kilogram bomb was fixed under these pylons.

When the first dive bomber entered an altitude of eight hundred meters, he quickly lowered the airbrake, allowing the plane to slow down slightly, and then the bomb weighing a thousand kilograms broke off the pylon. The Junkers 87A dive bomber took advantage of the fact that the bomb was unloaded and the weight of the fuselage was greatly reduced, and the nose was quickly pulled up and soon regained altitude.

The plane climbed to altitude and quickly withdrew, while the bomb staggered down to the warship. The Axis sailors watched as the bombs fell vertically and smashed straight into the wide deck of the aircraft carrier, without the slightest pause, the bombs smashed through several decks and exploded in the bilge.

A huge explosion burst out of the hole with soaring flames, causing the sailors on deck to retreat in fright. The power of the 1,000-kilogram bomb was so great that the bottom of the aircraft carrier was blown through, and the huge water pressure squeezed the sea water into the hole, and a column of water erupted after the flames ignited, pouring everything on the deck into a soup.

The Junkers 87A dive bombers, as dense as flying locusts, flew around the sky, dropping bombs on battleships, and because they were easy to aim, they focused on the larger carriers and battleships.

Admiral Hull ordered all the warships to assemble in a dense anti-aircraft formation, no longer caring about the Yaman submarines roaming around, and to deal with the threat from the air, but the lack of carrier-based fighters made it difficult for them to defend against the large number of dive bombers. Despite the best efforts of the artillerymen, firing with all the anti-aircraft guns, they were still unable to stop the fall of the bombshells, and one aircraft carrier and battleship after another were sunk, so anxious that Admiral Hull's face turned red and he almost suffered a cerebral hemorrhage.

Seizing the opportunity of the Axis fleet to take care of itself, Field Marshal Rundstedt immediately ordered the army to launch an attack, and the Axis soldiers in the city, who had been heavily killed and wounded by rocket artillery, were greatly weakened in combat effectiveness and had to retreat again and again under the powerful offensive of the Yaman army.

Seeing that nothing could be done, Admiral Hull ordered the army to withdraw immediately, and the fleet slowly retreated under the cover of the troop transport merchant ships in an anti-aircraft formation, but as soon as he gave the order, the Axis soldiers who had landed immediately rushed to board the ship, for fear that they would be killed by the Yaman army chasing after them if they were slow, and as a result, there was a stampede on the dock.

Many soldiers were pushed into the water by their companions while boarding the ship, many drowned because they could not swim, the sea in the harbor was littered with corpses wearing the uniforms of the Axis powers, and they even abandoned all their heavy equipment in order to retreat as quickly as possible, which made the Yaman army a considerable windfall.

Admiral Hull led the retreat, marking the complete defeat of the Axis landing plan in the port of Steddam, which was also the credit of the Jarman Army General Staff Headquarters in anticipating the enemy's opportunity and the proper command of Field Marshal Rundstedt. However, the Yamans did not guess that the Axis army, which was self-consciously numerous, launched an attack on both ports at the same time, and because a large number of troops were transferred to the port of Stedam to defend, the port of The Hague, another target of attack, was taken by surprise.

The attack on the port of Sturdam was a temptation, but also a feint to attract the Yaman army, and if the attack here succeeded, it was good, but if it failed, it could also attract the strength of the Yaman army, paving the way for the attack of the main fleet in The Hague.

In the middle of the night on June 19, 923, just two hours after the fleet attacking the port of Steddam set sail, such a huge fleet also anchored from the port of Pouls, the capital of the Saar Empire, and headed for the direction of the Yaman Empire.

Under tight protection, the huge landing fleet slowly set sail, and the high-spirited Admiral Halsey stood on the bridge of his flagship, facing countless ships and planes in the sky, and his heart was full of confidence in victory.

Such a large fleet made him feel that the Axis powers were invincible, but at the same time, he still vaguely felt in his heart that the peace of the Chinese Empire during this period of time was a little too unusual, and there seemed to be some kind of conspiracy in it.

Admiral Halsey's worries were not groundless, and at this time, the spy satellites of the Chinese Empire and the Black Feather strategic reconnaissance planes of the Asuka Squadron were indeed closely monitoring their movements.

"General Zhang, do you say that such a fleet also needs to be monitored? Their tactics and weapons are so primitive, and the planes are all propeller-type, which is too old. The last time I monitored their sneak attack on the port, I used the same tactics we used in the last World War to sneak attack Tunisia, and there were no highlights at all. ”

Chen Yu looked helplessly at the image information transmitted back from the satellite on the big screen and said: "This is simply a waste of our air force's fuel reserves, you know the road, you don't know the road, the engine of the Black Feather reconnaissance plane can only be used for 600 hours and needs to be overhauled, and the plane has to be maintained for 25 hours every time it flies for five hours, and each hour of flight requires almost 200,000 Chinese yuan, which is quite a lot of money." ”

Zhang Haiyang smiled: "Commander Chen is distressed? Anyway, how much money is spent, Your Majesty will reimburse you, what are you afraid of? ”

"How many times have I said it, call me Ruijun, why did you become Your Majesty again?" Fang Ruijun walked into the door of the Joint Staff with a smile.

Zhang Haiyang cried and said, "Aren't you embarrassed for me?" It's too awkward to call you Ruijun, it's better to call the little young master smooth. ”

Fang Ruijun smiled: "This title makes me feel like a landlord's cub, which is even more awkward." ”

Su Zhizhen on the side snickered: "Isn't your father the biggest landlord in the Chinese Empire?" That's not wrong to think so. ”

Fang Ruijun snorted and said, "Forget it, you can call it whatever you like, tell me what the current situation is?" "Fang Ruijun is joking with each other, and once it is time to get down to business, it will become quite serious.

Hearing Fang Ruijun's question, Zhang Haiyang said: "According to the latest news from the spy satellite, after the failure of the previous fleet to attack the port of Steddam, this Axis fleet is heading east. According to our judgment, they are preparing to land in the ports of the original Low Countries countries, there may be three main ones, namely Haarlem Beach, Hague Port, and Den Heldt Port, the most likely of which should be Haarlem Beach, where the terrain is gentle and unsafe, and should be the best place to land. ”

Fang Ruijun shook his head and said, "I don't think so, although Haarlem Beach is easy to land and the defense is not tight, the road conditions are too poor. Since the Axis powers were determined to launch such a large-scale landing operation, they had to occupy a well-developed place with good transportation, so that they could send a large number of supplies and troops to the battlefield. What's more, now that the Yaman Empire is empty, they won't care if the opponent's defense is strong or not. ”

Su Zhizhen nodded and said, "Indeed, I think the most likely is the port of The Hague, where the traffic is the most developed, and there is a direct railway line to Essen, the capital of the Yaman Empire. Once occupied, the Axis forces could invade the interior of the Yaman Empire, completely paralyzing the opponent's industrial system, and making the Yaman army on the front line a rootless tree, and the crisis of the Nantes Empire would be completely solved. ”

Su Zhizhen's words made everyone think so, Chen Yu said: "Maybe, but their attack is destined not to go well, according to the reconnaissance of our air force, there are at least 20,000 coastal artillery units and up to thirteen infantry divisions in The Hague Harbor, of which two are anti-aircraft artillery divisions, which is a force that should not be underestimated." ”

Fang Ruijun said with a smile: "The synthetic aperture radar of this Black Feather reconnaissance aircraft is very easy to use, and it doesn't need to go deep into the opponent's territory to reconnoiter their military deployment so clearly." ”

Chen Yu smiled: "Of course, but the price is not small, this money is spent too much." Chen Yu never forgot to cry poor with Fang Ruijun at any time, which shows that the use of the Black Feather reconnaissance aircraft is extremely expensive, which puts the Air Force under great pressure.

Fang Ruijun glanced at him and said, "Okay, I don't know what you think, I will propose to the Congress to increase the military spending of the Air Force next year." ”

Chen Yu was overjoyed when he heard this: "Great, thank you little master." ”

Zhang Haiyang on the side said with a bitter face: "Little master, you can't favor one over the other, now the navy is the weakest, and you should increase investment, not to mention how their radar can find out the number and establishment of the opponent's troops, this is all the credit of the Military Intelligence Bureau." ”
