When Lin Daxin led the First Fleet and the Second Fleet of the Northeast Navy to be 8,000 meters away from the combined fleet of the French Navy and the Russian Navy, five airships had been bombarded indiscriminately on the heads of the French Navy Expeditionary Fleet and the Russian Navy's Pacific Second Fleet for half an hour, causing the fleets of the two countries to suffer very heavy losses, especially the French Navy Expeditionary Fleet, which had one more airship overhead, and even sank many main warships.

And many of the sunken main warships of the French Navy were blown up and sunk by the Hercules supership, which made Zhang Guoxin, the captain of the Hercules supership, always excited.

Seeing that an 800-kilogram bomb dropped by his airship hit an all-steel battleship of the French Navy, that is, the all-steel battleship Elvira, and suddenly sank the all-steel battleship, and the record of the Hercules added another one, Zhang Guoxin, who had always been very calm, couldn't help but wave his two fists excitedly and shouted: "Enjoyable!" It's so enjoyable! Brothers, back to Shenyang, I invite the whole boat brothers to drink! ”

Then Zhang Guoxin suppressed his excitement and ordered the officers and soldiers in the airship: "The airship is 5 degrees to the left and flies towards the 1 French all-steel battleship below!" The ammanmo man quickly loaded the 4 bomb ports with 4 800 kg bombs, and the bombardier checked the bomb dropping device and prepared to drop the bomb! ”

The Hercules supership also placed 12 Type 96 heavy machine guns and 8 57mm rapid-fire guns, but these heavy machine guns and rapid-fire guns did not shoot, first of all, because the airship is at an altitude of 2000 meters, the range of heavy machine guns and rapid-fire guns is a problem, and secondly, the rapid-fire guns on the warship, the threat to the airship at an altitude of 2000 meters is very limited, and the heavy machine guns and rapid-fire guns do not need to waste ammunition for fire suppression, so the officers and soldiers responsible for heavy machine guns and rapid-fire guns on the airship also help the ammunition man, Load bombs into 4 bomb ports.

Under the command of Captain Zhang Guoxin, the Hercules super airship flew to the top of the French Navy's Charlemagne-class all-steel battleship Robertaton, and with the command of Captain Zhang Guoxin, four 800-kilogram bombs were dropped on the all-steel battleship with a displacement of 11,100 tons 2,000 meters below the airship.

Soon after, the Robertaton was hit by three 800-kilogram bombs dropped by the supership Hercules, and only one bomb was dropped into the sea more than 20 meters away from the Robertaton, blowing up a column of water more than 20 meters.

These three bombs all penetrated the deck armor of the Robertaton, some of the deck armor was 50 mm, and some of the deck armor was 90 mm, but without exception they were penetrated by three 800 kg bombs, so that all three bombs exploded in the hull of the Robertaton, which not only caused a fire to the sky, but also blew out several large holes below the waterline of the hull, and the sea water quickly poured into the hull.

After the captain of the Robertatton saw that his all-steel battleship was hit by three 800-kilogram bombs, he immediately led the officers and men of the ship to rescue him, but after a period of rescue, not only was the fire on the warship uncontrollable at all, but he was about to burn to an ammunition compartment for the main gun shells, and the hull was blown up and leaked, and the closed cabin could not be controlled, and the turbulent sea water continued to pour into the ship's interior.

So the captain of the Robertaton saw the situation of the warship, and immediately ordered all the crew of the ship to abandon the ship, and then the French naval officers and men on the ship did not even have time to lower the lifeboats to the sea, and jumped from the warship into the sea one by one.

The French sailors who jumped into the sea to escape from the Robertaton swam into the distance, and soon after a violent explosion, the Robertaton broke in two and sank into the sea. Because of the timely evacuation, 450 French naval officers and sailors on the warship successfully escaped.

The French sailors of the Robertaton, who were floating on the sea in the distance, could not help but be glad that the captain's order to abandon the ship was given in time, and even if they jumped into the sea to escape, they would be sucked into the bottom of the sea by the whirlpool generated when the warship sank.

Before the supership Hercules ran out of bombs, one of the French Navy's all-steel battleships was sunk by its bombs, the 13,500-ton Cecilia-class all-steel battleship Devine.

The Devinee was hit by the Hercules supership, and four 800-kilogram bombs were dropped on the same treatment, the Devonie was lucky not to be hit by the hull, but unfortunately one 800-kilogram bomb fell in the sea 2 meters away from the Devonne, forming a near-miss, the shock wave of the shell explosion caused the sea water to expand rapidly, tearing the underwater armor of the Devonie, forming a large hole nearly 8 meters long and 2 meters wide, and the sea water poured into the Devonne ship like a tide.

The captain of the Devonie immediately ordered to close the inlet cabin, but the crack was too big, and the speed of the sea water influx was faster than the speed of the French naval officers and sailors to close the inlet hold, and in a few minutes, the Daphne tilted to 20 degrees, although the captain of the Daphne ordered to inject seawater into the other side of the warship, but the angle of inclination of the Daphne increased a little, and the last one rolled over and slowly sank into the sea. Of the more than 600 French naval officers and sailors of the Daphne, only 78 escaped, floating above the sea wearing a lifebuoy.

The Hercules supership is very eye-catching, not only sank 6 all-steel battleships of the French Navy, but also sank 2 ironclad battleships, the ironclad battleship Canyon with a displacement of 10,050 tons and the ironclad battleship Tabao with a displacement of 10,165 tons.

The 2 ironclad battleships belonged to the same class, and the main guns were 2 twin 35 times caliber 340 mm, as well as 8 single 138 mm secondary guns, 8 57 mm rapid-fire guns and 8 37 mm rapid-fire guns. 2 ironclad battleships could reach a maximum speed of 16.5 knots.

The supership Hercules flew to the head of the Canyon ironclad battleship and dropped four 800-kilogram bombs, two of which hit the Canyon, both of which pierced the Canyon's 62 mm thick deck armor and several layers of steel plates, exploding near the bottom of the hull.

The explosion not only caused the Canyon to ignite a skyrocketing fire, the smoke was dozens of meters high, but also blew up the bottom of the Canyon, and the sea water continued to pour into the ship, and soon the fire burned to an ammunition compartment of 340 mm main gun shells, a violent continuous explosion, the Canyon ironclad battleship with a displacement of 10,050 tons sank into the sea with nearly 400 French naval officers and sailors, and only less than 100 French naval officers and sailors successfully escaped and drifted on the sea, waiting for the rescue of other warships.

The battleship Tabao was even more unlucky, although it was only hit by an 800-kilogram bomb dropped by the supership Hercules, but this one bomb killed the battleship Tabor. The bomb sealed the throat with a sword, penetrated the deck armor of the Towerburg, and penetrated the steel wall of the main gun ammunition compartment of less than 80 mm, the bomb exploded in the ammunition compartment, detonating hundreds of 340 mm main gun shells, after a rumbling explosion, the ironclad battleship Tower Fort was blown into two pieces and sank into the sea, and more than 500 French naval officers and sailors on the Tower Fort sank to the bottom of the sea with the Tower Fort because the warship sank too fast.

In addition to sinking 8 big guys, the super airship Hercules also seriously damaged many of the main warships of the French Navy with bombs.

The Cecilia-class all-steel battleship Estrid, with a displacement of 13,500 tons, was hit overhead by the supership Hercules, dropping 4 800-kilogram bombs, 3 of which landed in the sea near the Estrid, and only 1 hit the Estrid.

This 800 kg bomb hit the turret of one of the Estrid's twin batteries of 40 times caliber 305 mm, the armor of the 254 mm main gun turret did not resist the explosion of this bomb, not only destroyed the main gun turret, but also affected a twin battery of 40 times caliber 152 mm secondary guns and two 75 mm naval guns, so that they were also destroyed by the explosion, and the cabin under the turret was also affected, and the smoke from the fire on the warship was more than ten meters high, Fortunately, the French naval officers and sailors on the Estride managed to control the fire and did not cause more damage to the Estrid, allowing the Estridium to maintain some of its combat effectiveness.

The All-Steel Battleship Athena, of the same class as the Estrid, was also hit by one of the four 800-kilogram bombs dropped by the supership Hercules. The bomb penetrated the 76 mm deck armor of the Athena and exploded inside the Athena, blowing a large hole of more than 4 meters in the waterline armor on the side of the Athena, and sending the Athena into hundreds of tons of seawater in a short time.

Under the command of the captain, the damage management personnel of the Athena quickly sealed the incoming cabin, so that the seawater would not continue to pour into the ship, so that the Athena would not sink, but the Athena had been tilted to the left side about 10 degrees because of the water on one side, in order not to affect the navigation and combat, and also to prevent the Athena from overturning, the captain of the Athena had to order to inject seawater into the other side of the warship to maintain the balance of the warship, so that the speed of the Athena, which was carrying nearly 2,000 tons of seawater, dropped from 18 knots to 15 knots.

The Hercules supership later flew back to the head of the Athena, but at this time the 800 kg bombs on the Hercules super airship had been used up, and the captain Zhang Guoxin ordered four 300 kg bombs to be dropped on the Athena, although one 300 kg bomb hit the Athena, but one bomb blew up a double 40 times the caliber of the secondary gun, and the other one broke through the deck armor and exploded in the hull, and did not hurt the important parts of the Athena.
