The Thunder horizontal bomber equipped on the Royal Chinese Navy aircraft carrier has 4 engines, a maximum flight speed of 405 kilometers per hour, a range of 4000 kilometers, a maximum flight altitude of 9500 meters, and 5 rapid-fire machine guns of 12.7 mm on board, which can carry 5 tons of aerial bombs, which is an improved version of the Goshawk horizontal bomber of the Royal Chinese Air Force.

Originally, the Thunder horizontal bomber was not suitable for air attacks on warships on the sea, after all, the huge Thunder horizontal bomber could not make a rapid dive action at all, and even if it did, it was very dangerous for the Thunder horizontal bomber itself, but this time on the 12 emperor-class aircraft carriers of the First Fleet and the Second Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy, a total of 144 Thunder horizontal bombers were also dispatched to attack the European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations.

The reason why the 144 Thunder horizontal bombers were also dispatched along with other carrier-based aircraft this time was not to let the Thunder horizontal bombers adopt the same attack methods as the Thunderbolt dive bombers and Thundering torpedo bombers, but to let the 144 Thunder horizontal bombers carry a large number of new hydraulic mines and be responsible for dropping them into the sea area where the European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations is located.

Hydrostatic mine is a kind of mine made according to the principle of fluid mechanics, whether it is on the surface of the water or the ship in the water, it will produce a change in pressure in the area below, the larger the displacement of the ship, the more significant the impact, the pressure detonation of the hydrostatic mine belongs to a non-contact one, when the ship passes, the sensor inside the hydrostatic mine will detonate when the pressure changes, because it does not need to be in contact with the ship, as long as it is triggered near the hydrostatic mine, so the effective range is very large, And basically it can form a near-miss effect.

And in order to allow the aircraft to drop the water pressure mine, the water pressure mine is also installed with a timing device, after starting the timing device for a period of time, the sensor of the water pressure mine will work, and the time of the timing device can be set, the maximum can be set to 2 hours later, and the shortest can be set to 1 minute later.

The hydraulic mines carried by the 144 Thunder horizontal bombers are divided into three types: 200 kg, 500 kg and 1000 kg, because the fuse of the hydrostatic mine can also explode when it appears for a ship with a preset tonnage or more, so the 200 kg hydrostatic mine will only explode if it has a displacement of more than 500 tons and less than 3000 tons, and the 500 kg hydrostatic mine will choose a warship with a displacement of more than 3,000 tons and less than 20,000 tons before it can explode. 1,000-kilogram hydrostatic mines must be close to warships with a displacement of more than 20,000 tons to explode, and the timing of these hydrostatic mines is only set to 2 minutes.

The warships of the navies of the European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations were mainly used to resist lightning fighters, lightning dive bombers, and thundering torpedo bombers in this wave of attacks by the Royal Navy carrier-based air group of the Imperial Chinese Navy.

The 144 Thunder horizontal bombers dropped more than 1,500 hydrostatic mines at high altitudes, which initially did not attract the attention of the navies of the European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations, until one warship after another encountered a powerful near-miss bomb for no reason, and at this time the officers and men of the navies of the European United Fleet of the League of Nations reacted.

The German Navy's Frederick the Great-class super dreadnought battleship Wisenberg was hit by two 900-kilogram aerial bombs and one 533-mm torpedo in a row, but the rough-skinned and thick-skinned Wisenburg was not sunk, only the speed was affected somewhat, and even the five twin 45-caliber 381-mm guns still maintained their combat effectiveness.

However, a 1,000-kilogram hydrostatic mine was detonated less than 3 meters away from the side of the Wisenburg Super Dreadnought battleship, and the impact of the explosion caused the sea water to expand rapidly, blasting the waterline armor under the water of the Wisenburg into a large hole more than ten meters long, and a large amount of seawater poured into the interior of the Weisenburg hull, and the Weisenburg began to tilt, although the captain of the Weisenburg ordered to inject seawater into the other side of the warship, but unfortunately did not keep the Weisenburg, In the end, the USS Wisenberg, a super-dreadnought battleship with a full load displacement of 37,200 tons, rolled over on its side and slowly sank into the sea.

The Duke of Edinburgh, an Edward-VII-class all-steel battleship with a full load displacement of 16,610 tons of the British Navy, was originally only hit by a 250-kilogram aerial bomb dropped by a lightning fighter, and the hit part was not an important position, which almost did not affect the combat effectiveness, but unfortunately approached a 500-kilogram hydrostatic mine, and was detonated when it was close to this 500-kilogram hydrostatic mine, which opened a big hole in the armor below the waterline of the Duke of Edinburgh, and the Duke of Edinburgh did not struggle for long, and disappeared into the sea.

Thousands of 200-kilogram hydrostatic mines have caused very heavy losses to the fast-defending cruisers and destroyers of the navies of the European United Fleet of the League of Nations, and a large number of fast-protection cruisers and destroyers of the navies of various European countries have been sunk by 200-kilogram hydrostatic mines.

It can be said that in addition to aircraft carriers, torpedo boats, and submarines, all other types of warships of the European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations suffered considerable losses under the attack of this round of carrier-based aircraft groups of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire.

The aircraft carriers of the European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations have been completely lost, and the remaining 7 unsunken aircraft carriers have also lost their combat effectiveness and have been left behind, so they have not been attacked by this round of carrier-based air groups.

As for the torpedo boats of the European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations, the target is too small, not to mention that the Lightning fighters, Thunderbolt dive bombers and Thundering torpedo bombers of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire have no time to take care of them, even the hydrostatic mines dropped by the Thunder horizontal bombers are disdainful because the displacement of the torpedo boats is too small, but it cannot be said that the torpedo boats have not lost at all, at least a dozen torpedo boats have been affected by the pond fish and have sunk to the bottom of the sea.

The combined navies of the European Union Fleet of the League of Nations have a total of 290 submarines, all of which have been submerged into the sea without suffering any losses.

The attack on the European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations lasted less than 10 minutes by 1,440 carrier-based planes dispatched by 12 Emperor-class aircraft carriers of the First Fleet and the Second Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy, and all the aerial bombs, torpedoes, and mines carried by the 1,440 carrier-based aircraft were thrown away, so the carrier-based aircraft group immediately returned to the direction of the Strait of Hormuz.

In less than 10 minutes of attack, 1,440 carrier-based aircraft paid a great price, 105 lightning fighters, 98 Thunderbolt dive bombers and 103 Thunder torpedo bombers were destroyed by the anti-aircraft fire of the European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations during the attack, and only 144 Thunder horizontal bombers were destroyed by the air defense weapons of the warships of the European Union Fleet of the League of Nations because they dropped water pressure mines at an altitude of 9,000 meters, which was beyond the effective range of the air defense weapons of the warships of the European United Fleet of the League of Nations. So that 144 Thunder horizontal bombers were not lost a single one.

The Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire lost more than 300 carrier-based aircraft, but in exchange for greater losses of the European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations, in the bridge of the British Navy's Queen Elizabeth-class super battleship Queen Elizabeth, the captain of the Queen Elizabeth Mark? Milligan looked gloomy at the commander-in-chief of the European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations, British Admiral John? Jericho reported: "Commander, this round of air raids is over, and our League of Nations Combined European Fleet has also passed through the minefields laid by the enemy, but our entire League of Nations Combined European Fleet has suffered very heavy losses, and our Royal Navy of the British Empire should have suffered the greatest losses among the navies of all countries so far. ”

John? Jericho asked with a gloomy face: "Counting the warships that sank before, how many warships has our Royal Navy of the British Empire lost now?" ”

Mark? Milligan immediately took out a piece of paper and read: "At present, our Royal Navy of the British Empire has sunk 7 Glorious-class aircraft carriers, 7 Fury-class aircraft carriers, 2 Queen Elizabeth-class super battleships, 2 Orion-class super-class dreadnought battleships, 2 King George V-class dreadnought battleships, 2 Iron Duke-class super dreadnought battleships, 4 Tiger-class battlecruisers, 5 Lion-class battlecruisers, 1 Dreadnought-class dreadnought-class battleship, 1 St. Vincent-class dreadnought-class battleship, 2 Neptune-class dreadnought battleships and 1 giant-class dreadnought, the capital battleships have sunk as many as 36, of which several capital battleships have not been completely sunk, but according to the situation, it is impossible to save, and the captains of several capital battleships have already given orders to abandon ships, so these capital battleships are also counted among the sunken warships. ”

"In addition, 1 Glorious-class aircraft carrier and 1 Fury-class aircraft carrier have lost their combat effectiveness, 1 Queen Elizabeth-class super battleship, 1 King George V-class dreadnought-class battleship, 2 Tiger-class battlecruisers and 2 Lion-class battlecruisers have been seriously damaged, and there is basically no way to continue participating in the next battle."

John? When Jericho heard this, his face became even more gloomy and asked, "So, our Royal Navy of the British Empire currently only has 40 capital warships that can continue to fight?" ”

Mark? Milligan smiled bitterly and said: "Commander, although I don't want to believe this fact, but our Royal Navy of the British Empire has joined the main warships of the European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations, and indeed there are only 40 warships left that can continue to fight, in addition, our Royal Navy of the British Empire has lost 3 all-steel battleships, 6 large fast armored cruisers, 22 fast protection cruisers, 29 destroyers and 5 torpedo boats, and the losses of other types of warships except the main battleships are not too serious, Of course, this is also relatively comparative. ”

John? Jericho was silent for a moment and asked, "What about the losses of other countries' navies?" ”

Mark? Milligan sighed and said: "The losses of the navies of all countries are very large, this is a telegram from the commanders of various countries. ”

Immediately Mark? Milligan handed a few more pieces of paper to John? Jerricho, John? Jericho took a few pieces of paper, and the more he looked at it, the tighter his brow furrowed.

The French Navy has sunk 7 Franco-class aircraft carriers, 1 Paris-class super-dreadnought, 3 Fryant-class superdreadnoughts, 5 Dunkirk-class battlecruisers, 1 Lone class dreadnought, and 2 Provence-class dreadnought-class battleships, a total of 19 capital ships, and 1 France-class aircraft carrier, 1 Friant-class super dreadnought, 1 Dunkirk-class battlecruiser and 1 Provence-class dreadnought-class battleship. Temporarily lost the ability to continue the fight.

You must know that the French Navy has only 41 capital warships to join the European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations, and now after removing the sunken and seriously injured, only 18 capital warships remain combat-ready.

In addition, 2 all-steel battleships, 4 large fast armored cruisers, 13 fast protection cruisers, 19 destroyers and 2 torpedo boats were also sunk in the French Navy.

The Russian Navy's two Fury-class aircraft carriers and two Lexington-class aircraft carriers have all been sunk by airborne missile attacks by the carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Chinese Navy.

In addition, the Russian Navy has so far sunk 1 Pennsylvania-class super dreadnought, 1 Nevada-class super dreadnought, and 1 Saratoga-class battlecruiser, and the Russian Navy, which originally had 15 capital warships, has not seen the shadow of the main fleet of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, and only 8 capital warships remain.

In addition, 1 large fast armored cruiser, 3 fast protection cruisers, 3 destroyers and 1 torpedo boat of the Russian Navy were also sunk in the air strike.

As the weakest naval strength in the Entente, the Belgian Navy only sent a total of 2 large fast armored cruisers, 4 fast protection cruisers, 4 destroyers and 12 torpedo boats to join the European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations.

Even more unfortunate is that the large fast armored cruiser sunk by the Belgian Navy is the flagship of the Belgian Navy, and the bottom of this large fast armored cruiser was blown up by 500 kg of hydrostatic mines, and the commander of the naval fleet Ngolo? Rear Admiral Kanter, who had to hurry up with some of his subordinates, moved to the top of another large fast armored cruiser of the Belgian Navy, and reraised the flag of the flagship.
