Shocked to learn of the report of the German Air Force attack from Holland, Tovey began to take various measures to deal with the situation based on the knowledge he had accumulated about the Navy during his decades of service. British aircraft carriers began to send more carrier-based aircraft to search for the location of the enemy fleet and guide the attack: by this time, more than 60 fighters had already carried their expectations and flew towards the German fleet nearly 300 kilometers away. And after this wave of attack planes was released, Tovey, who learned that his own position was also exposed, also began to do his best to support the umbrella over the fleet: under his orders, the British pilots who took to the air to intercept no longer did too much entanglement with the opposing fighters, but took shooting down the German attack planes that posed a direct threat to their own warships as their first priority.

However, Tovey's immediacy was not as thoughtful as the German fleet's. The fighter group he unleashed did not stop the German fleet from approaching: under the cover of the overwhelming superiority of fighters, the German attack aircraft group still reached the skies over the British fleet. In the face of the huge fleet of aircraft swept by the enemy's black pressure, Tovey could only grit his teeth now: his only hope was that his fleet could hold on long enough, and that the attack aircraft group he sent and the American fleet that came to help could save the situation by attacking!

"What are the Germans doing here?" Seeing the other plane hurriedly drop bombs at an altitude still several kilometers away from him, Tovey, who held the telescope high, said in shock. Although he also came from a traditional fleet unit, this does not mean that he is completely ignorant of aviation warfare: there are only two ways for aircraft to bomb the sea. Either drop a large number of bombs in the same area and carry out a saturation attack. Or dive vertically at a large angle for precise delivery. There is no other way. Although the former can avoid the small-caliber artillery strikes of surface ships, because this kind of saturation horizontal bombing requires extremely high aircraft ammunition loading, it is only suitable for land-based twin-engine or four-engine bombers that can carry a large number of bombs. For aircraft carriers with strict restrictions on runway length and hangar volume, carrying a single-engine bomber and allowing it to break through the enemy's anti-aircraft fire network to carry out precision dive bombing naturally becomes the best attack option with limited load.

According to the report sent back by Holland, the German carrier-based bombers also used high-altitude dives to inflict a fatal blow on his fleet. In just one hour, the elite of the reconnaissance fleet was completely lost. But now Tovey sees what he sees. But it completely subverted his cognition: the opponent's bomber neither approached nor dived, and just threw the bomb at a distance of seven or eight thousand meters, which was tantamount to throwing a grenade to attack the fighter plane speeding in the sky, and it was impossible to get a hit in terms of distance or accuracy!

Just when Tovey was puzzled, a sudden burst of light erupted in the sky not far away: the majestic waves of light were like huge fire chrysanthemums blooming in the sky, illuminating him and squinting his eyes instantly. Tovey endured the dazzling light and looked at it, only to find that these lights and flames were roaring from behind the bombs that were dropped far away, and with the appearance of the lights, the downward momentum of these bombs also suddenly stopped, and at the same time, they rushed towards their own fleet at a speed several times that of the fighters!

"It's ...... A glider propelled by a rocket? "I saw that there were two wings spread out on the incoming object. Tovey couldn't help but exclaim. Other than that, he couldn't find any known events to describe it. But what glider can fly so fast? More than 250 yards per second? After only a few breaths, the guys were thousands of yards closer to themselves!

What made Tovey even more stunned was that these incoming objects seemed to have eyes: they were still moving significantly in altitude and horizontal directions while flying at a high speed of 450 knots. After a while, these missiles, which were originally off topic, entered the right track in this continuous adjustment, and the attitude of rushing down from the sky was really as unstoppable as a comet's fire!

"Quick, stop these guys with anti-aircraft artillery!" Tovey's roar suddenly resounded through the Command Tower. The British sailors suddenly reacted and began to scramble to fire at it continuously with 40-mm ping-pong guns and small-caliber anti-aircraft guns. Countless points of light rose from the British battleship and rained down at the high-speed flying missiles: however, because the opponent was flying too fast, the British anti-aircraft fire, which was already small, was almost fruitless. An HS-293 was hit head-on by more than a dozen anti-aircraft shells in succession, and its warhead containing 800kg of high explosives exploded. The explosion point was still more than 100 meters in the air, and the sea below it was already a noisy scene of big waves rushing, and on the British aircraft carrier "Ark Royal," which was less than 300 meters away, the hot wind was even more wrapped in a large amount of shrapnel and rushed to the face. Some of the caught off guard British sailors were blown into the sea, while others were impaled through their bodies by the bursts of shrapnel. And this was the entire result of the air defense of the British fleet in half a minute. With the exception of several bombs that fell into the sea due to its own malfunction, the rest of the HS-293 completed the gliding maneuver; Under the radio control of the German pilots, they all found their respective targets and were about to collide with each other in the most violent way!

"Boom!" A huge fireball with a height of more than 100 meters was the first to suddenly rise into the air at the broadside hangar of the "Brilliant" aircraft carrier. The hull of the ship shook violently, the waves shook, and the hull made of steel broke and shattered in the fierce and incomparable impact of the air waves, and the vigorous flames spread rapidly like wildfire. With a single blow, the entire port side of the Radiance was reduced to a scorched hell of blood and fire, including a lift and a large number of pipelines, and more than half of the ship's cabins were de-energized, and the radio room was destroyed. The underwater seal structure of the aircraft carrier was also torn apart by the vibration, and a large amount of seawater was pouring in with this sudden opening.

Not long after, the aircraft carrier's sister ships, the "Dreadnought" and "Victory," were also hit by German guided bombs, and the earth-shattering explosion seemed to tear the entire warship into thousands of pieces. The unparalleled wave of high temperature and air destroyed the withering and decaying, turning all the obstacles in front of him into crumbling and flying fine debris; Even the 35mm armor on the side of the hangar was brutally swept away, and a wave of heat of thousands of degrees dominated the vast space. Due to the considerable armor protection laid on the Tejas class aircraft carrier as a whole, these high-explosive bombs filled with explosives failed to achieve the kind of one-hit fatal results on ships such as the Fury, but the damage to personnel and equipment caused by them was enough to make this 23,000-ton medium-sized aircraft carrier lose the capital to continue to stay on the battlefield!

Flames rolled wildly, and smoke covered the air. In just two minutes, all four aircraft carriers in Britain's main fleet were set on fire; The explosive power of 800kg of high explosives can only be described as shocking, and the flames ignited by so many explosives cannot be extinguished in a moment. From a distance, four huge torches seemed to appear on the sea, and the terrifying sound of their roaring and dancing was reminiscent of the end of divine punishment. The British lost the sailors tried their best, but they could only keep the flames from spreading to the core module. Seeing this, several escorting destroyers hurriedly surrounded and used their own high-pressure water cannons to help the aircraft carrier carry out fire-fighting operations. However, at the same time that the British sailors were preoccupied with the fire of the aircraft carrier, a group of Do-22 torpedo planes also descended to a low altitude of only 20 meters above the sea, and with the release of the hook, more than a dozen torpedoes broke the waves towards the location of the British aircraft carrier.

Unlike normal torpedoes, these torpedoes appeared to be rather slow, and they did not advance as fast as British destroyers in the sea; Perhaps to reduce the risk of being shot down by British anti-aircraft fire, the German torpedo planes dropped their torpedoes from a distance of 4 kilometers and flew to the side. In the face of such an attack, even the damaged British aircraft carriers were not in the slightest fear, and their massive hulls quickly turned to one side, easily passing the torpedo track. However, just as the British captain was relieved, the report from the lookout made their faces change drastically: those German torpedoes actually turned in the sea, and they were still rushing in the direction of the battleship!

On a Do-22 torpedo plane, the signal corpsman sitting in the rear driver's seat is concentrating on the position of the target warship, and is engrossed in manipulating the remote control button in his hand. Under his control, the torpedo in the sea swayed left and right, like a well-behaved barracuda. A slender signal transmission line was connected between the torpedo and the aircraft, and it was being released as the distance between the two sides increased: since it was difficult for the radio to penetrate several meters of sea water to be received by the signal receiver set on the torpedo, the German Navy's "Skylark" guided torpedoes used the method of wire transmission to ensure ideal control of the torpedo. The wire was 9 km long, which was enough for the aircraft to maneuver normally before the torpedo hit the target.

The British fleet seemed to have spotted an anomaly in these self-wired torpedoes, and all the fire they could get their hands on was firing heavily at them. However, the small caliber firepower on the British battleships was also extremely difficult to intercept torpedoes. After a few minutes of sailing, the torpedoes were already close in front of them, and the surging white spray was reflected in the pupils of the British sailors, shining like a blood sickle in the hands of the Grim Reaper!
