Chapter 904: Lost Aircraft Carriers

When the European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations was about to enter the Strait of Hormuz, it was suddenly attacked by the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, and the attack was carried out by a missile attack that the commanders of the European Combined Fleet of the International Coalition did not expect.

However, the European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations gathered almost the essence of the entire European navy, and this naval battle with the main force of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire almost determined the direction of the war, and the commanders of the naval fleets of various European countries were unwilling to admit defeat so easily.

After more than 200 carrier-based aircraft of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire launched the first round of airborne missile attacks, the commander-in-chief of the European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations, British Admiral John Anderson, the commander-in-chief of the European Combined Fleet, was also attacked. Jericho immediately ordered the navies of various countries to leave all the seriously injured warships, and some destroyers to rescue the people who fell into the water, and the warships of the navies of other countries immediately regrouped and advanced towards the Strait of Hormuz, and all the aircraft carrier fighters of various countries that could fly also searched in the direction of the Strait of Hormuz, and once the main force of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire was discovered, they immediately launched an air raid.

And yet John? As soon as Jericho's order was conveyed to the commanders of the naval fleets of other countries, in the northern sky, another group of carrier-based aircraft of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire appeared, and these carrier-based aircraft were more than 200 carrier-based aircraft of the Second Task Force and the Third Task Force Aircraft Carrier Group, and their mission was to carry out a second round of anti-ship missile attacks on the remaining aircraft carriers of the European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations, so as to make all the aircraft carriers of the European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations as ineffective as possible.

"Oh God! Those carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Empire have come again! ”

"It's over, are they going to attack like they did just now? Our anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, at all not so high a range! ”

"Quick! Ask the commander, what do we do next? ”

"It's a massacre! I think we should retreat! ”

The appearance of the second batch of more than 200 carrier-based aircraft of the Royal Navy of the Imperial Chinese Navy immediately caused panic among the officers and men of the navies of the European United Fleet of the League of Nations.

Inside the bridge of the British Navy's Queen Elizabeth-class superbattleship, the captain of the Queen Elizabeth, Mark ? Milligan looked horrified at John? Jericho shouted: "Commander, another batch of enemy carrier-based aircraft has arrived, what now?" Why don't we retreat for the time being? When we have a way to deal with this attack, it's not too late to come back to the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire for a decisive battle! ”

John? Jellico already had a cold sweat on his cheeks at this point, John? Jericho was reluctant to give the order to retreat in his heart, you must know that since he was elected as the commander-in-chief of the European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations, he has almost become the most eye-catching person in the whole of Europe, and the whole of Europe is looking forward to him bringing back the news of victory, and he also vowed to the outside world that he will definitely destroy the main force of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire in the naval battle, so that the control of the sea will return to the hands of various civilized countries.

If the coalition European combined fleet of the League of Nations retreated in such a gray way, then he John? Everything Jellico has so far is over, he's John? Jericho will also become the laughing stock of the whole of Europe, and will even be nailed to the pillar of shame in history.

John? Jericho gritted his teeth and said, "Don't panic! Maybe this batch of carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Chinese Navy is not equipped with anti-ship missiles! We still have a chance! ”

As if it was a deliberate slap in the face, John? As soon as Jericho's words fell, more than 200 carrier-based planes of the Royal Navy of the Imperial Chinese Empire, which had already flown over the European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations, launched airborne missiles at the surviving aircraft carriers of various countries on the sea.

These more than 200 carrier-based aircraft of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire were still at an altitude of more than 10,000 meters, leisurely firing airborne missiles at the aircraft carriers of various countries on the sea, and each carrier-based aircraft also carried two airborne air-to-ship missiles, so soon these more than 200 carrier-based aircraft of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire completed their tasks and began to return home.

If the first round of airborne airborne missile attacks dealt a very heavy blow to the aircraft carriers of the European United Fleet of the League of Nations, then the second round of airborne airborne missile attacks was simply devastating for the aircraft carriers of the European United Fleet of the League of Nations!

The British Navy's Glorious-class aircraft carrier Glory was originally hit by 1 medium-range anti-ship missile and 2 airborne anti-ship missiles, and the positions where they hit were on the flight deck, so that the aircraft carrier fighters on board could no longer take off, and the aircraft carrier Glory basically lost its combat effectiveness.

This time, the Glory aircraft carrier was even more unlucky, and was directly targeted by 3 carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Chinese Navy, and then 6 airborne anti-ship missiles drilled into the hull of the Glory aircraft carrier from the flight deck again, and after a continuous explosion, the Glory aircraft carrier was detonated because of the ammunition compartment and fuel compartment, and it was broken into several pieces at once, and quickly sank to the sea surface.

The German Navy Siegfelli-class aircraft carrier Louitre had been seriously injured in the previous missile attack, and the hull had already tilted, and the German naval officers and men of the Louitre aircraft carrier managed to control the dangerous situation with great difficulty, using the method of sealing some cabins to prevent seawater from continuing to pour into the hull, so that the Louitre aircraft carrier kept the angle of inclination and no longer expanded.

However, this time, four more airborne anti-ship missiles hit the USS Louitre, which not only blew up the previously closed cabins, but also added several larger holes to the USS Louitre, and then the angle of inclination of the USS Louitre began to increase again, and soon after, a rollover hit the surface of the sea and quickly sank to the bottom of the sea.

After the second round of air-to-ship missile attacks by the carrier-based aircraft of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, most of the aircraft carriers of the European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations began to sink to the surface of the sea, and even the aircraft carriers that could barely hold on to the sea also lost the ability to take off aircraft carrier fighters, and the 54 aircraft carriers that the European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations once had have all lost their combat effectiveness.

At this time, there are about 250 aircraft carrier fighters of the navies of various countries that took off in the sky before, and now the pilots of these aircraft carrier fighters are desperate, looking at the situation of the surviving aircraft carriers of various countries on the sea, they have no place to land these aircraft carrier fighters flying into the sky, so when their fighters run out of fuel, they will only have the fate of crashing.

In the bridge of the German Navy's Frederick the Great-class super-dreadnought battleship Frederick the Great, the captain of the Frederick the Great, Matthias? With a piece of paper in his hand, Ginter looked gloomily at German Admiral Lucas? Digne said: "Commander, the 12 Siegfrey-class aircraft carriers of our German Navy are basically finished, except for the captain of the Albert who sent a telegram saying that the Albert aircraft carrier can still hold on, the other 11 Siegfolly-class aircraft carriers have either sunk or are sinking, and even the Albert aircraft carrier has lost its combat capability." ”

As the commander-in-chief of the German Navy this time, at this time Lucas? Digne's face was extremely gloomy, he was originally full of ambition, he was ready to make his name resounding all over the world in the decisive naval battle with the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, but before he saw the main force of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, the entire European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations was hit in the face, and the German Navy basically lost all the aircraft carriers.

The place and role of aircraft carriers in today's naval warfare, Lucas? Digneko knew very well that he was a supporter of aircraft carriers in the German Navy.

Matthias, the captain of the Frederick the Great? Ginter hesitated for a moment and said: "Commander, now not only does our German Navy have no aircraft carriers, but the aircraft carriers of other navies have also been lost, and the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire has such a shocking means of attack, such a naval battle can no longer continue, is it possible to consider retreating?" ”

"You can't just retreat! Just now British Admiral John? Jericho's analysis makes a lot of sense, the number of anti-ship missiles possessed by the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire must not be too much, and we still have a chance! As long as our European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations finds the main force of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, with the superiority of our many battleships and battle cruisers, we still have a great chance of winning this sea battle! "Lucas? Digne said categorically.

The commanders of the European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations, who were not reconciled, immediately readjusted their formations after the aircraft carriers of various countries were lost, and continued to rush towards the Strait of Hormuz, thus losing their combat effectiveness, but the seven aircraft carriers that would not sink for a moment and a half were left in place by the European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations, and as for the other dozens of aircraft carriers, they have either disappeared into the sea or are sinking towards the sea.

The remnants of about 250 aircraft carrier fighters in the air of the navies of various countries are in the command of the Commander-in-Chief of the Combined European Fleet of the League of Nations, John Brown. On Jellico's order, quickly flew in the direction of the Strait of Hormuz, John? Jericho ordered the pilots to try to find the main force of the Imperial Chinese Navy, and to launch an attack, and once the fighters were almost out of fuel, they were allowed to parachute back to the waters near where the remnants of the aircraft carriers were staying.

Hundreds of kilometers away, in the bridge of the aircraft carrier Hanwudi, the flagship of the First Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy, Jiang Chen, commander of the First Fleet, excitedly said to Sun Xitao, vice minister of defense: "Commander-in-chief, the attack of the two task force two-wheeled carrier-based aircraft has ended, according to the pilot's report, most of the 54 aircraft carriers of the European United Fleet of the League of Nations have been sunk or are sinking, even if it is a remnant aircraft carrier, it will lose its combat effectiveness due to the damage to the flight deck, the air supremacy of this naval battle, We have already firmly grasped it, did we order the aircraft carrier fighters of our four main fleets to continue to launch air strikes? ”

Sun Xitao pondered for a while and said: "Order the 12 Emperor-class aircraft carriers of the First Fleet and the Second Fleet to dispatch all fighters and bombers to continue to carry out air attacks on the European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations, focusing on battleships and battle cruisers, 5 Emperor-class aircraft carriers of the First Fleet and the Second Fleet, and 4 Mythical-class aircraft carriers, so that half of the fighters can be lifted into the air to ensure the air safety of our main fleets." ”

After a pause, Sun Xitao asked Jiang Chen, "Is there any new action in the European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations?" ”

Jiang Chen immediately replied: "According to the radar, the main force of the European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations is moving in the direction of the Strait of Hormuz. ”

Sun Xitao suddenly smiled and said: "As long as these Europeans are not prepared to escape, let the fleets maintain their formation and advance south, and we will meet them!" ”

Jiang Chen frowned and asked: "Commander-in-chief, we have already eliminated the strength of the enemy's aircraft carriers, and then we only need to send fighters to bomb the European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations, and we can completely win this naval battle, why do we still let the main fleets approach the European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations, in that case, isn't there going to be a duel between battleships?" ”

Sun Xitao explained: "The anti-aircraft firepower of the navies of the European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations is not weak, and the aircraft carrier fighters of our four main fleets are not equipped with airborne anti-ship missiles, and if we rely solely on aircraft carrier fighters to attack, the losses of our aircraft carrier fighters will be very huge, but if the aircraft carrier fighters cooperate with the battleship formations and battlecruiser formations of several of our main fleets, the effect will be much better, and the joint attack of the sea and air will also make it impossible for the European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations to retreat easily. Achieve our operational goal of inflicting heavy damage on the European Combined Fleet of the League of Nations. ”

Sun Xitao then sighed and said: "In addition, our Imperial Chinese Navy has 47 super dreadnought battleships, 24 battle cruisers and 36 dreadnought battleships, these main battleships cost a lot of money every year, if we don't achieve some achievements, maybe it won't be long before these giant ships disappear from the sequence of our Imperial Chinese Navy." ”

The top brass of the Imperial Chinese Navy have clearly realized that in future wars, aircraft carriers are the key to determining victory or defeat at sea, and as for battleships and battlecruisers, they will inevitably be eliminated, but people like Sun Xitao, who came from the Beiyang Naval Division, have a special feeling for battleships.

Before Sun Xitao left Beijing, Lin Daxin talked to Sun Xitao, and Lin Daxin hoped that the steel giants of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Imperial Navy with large-caliber naval guns could have some beautiful performances in this world-renowned naval battle. (To be continued.) )
