"Enemy warship spotted in the target direction! Spot an enemy battleship in the target position! Repeat the target location again to spot the enemy battleship! "At the original position of the Franco-Italian fleet, at an altitude of 4,000 meters ten kilometers away, a Chinese reconnaissance plane hiding in the clouds accurately saw the huge fleet on the sea in the distance below.

The observer immediately shouted to the dispatcher, his voice full of surprise.

"The target is the enemy fleet, two dreadnoughts, a front dreadnought, an armored cruiser and two heavy cruisers, and twenty-five auxiliary warships." Compared to the original intelligence, the Franco-Italian fleet here has two fewer former dreadnoughts and two large armored cruisers, as well as at least five auxiliary warships. But it's still a big fat fish!

The flight base on the island of Samothrace immediately received a telegram from the reconnaissance plane, and when the second identical telegram came from another reconnaissance plane, the base quickly sent a telegram to the first wave of attack planes that had already departed and the second wave of attack planes that had just departed. Each of the two groups of attack aircraft has a command aircraft responsible for liaison with rear bases. In fact, before receiving the order from the rear base, the radio station on the command plane had already received the message from the reconnaissance plane.

"Black Hawk received instructions from the Eagle's Nest, received instructions before receiving them." The commander of the first wave of attack aircraft immediately asked the telegraph operator to reply to the base.

"The first detachment is ready to break through, disrupt the air defense arrangement of the enemy fleet, and cover the second and third detachments to attack." The command aircraft gave a signal in accordance with the commander's order, and at the same time several pennants were lowered under the cabin. Pilots who are familiar with the command doctrine of the Chinese Air Force can understand the orders of the fleet commander at a glance.

"Cover the attacking enemy warship, one detachment understands, one detachment understands." The first detachment was the escort fighters of the first wave of attack aircraft. They are the fastest, and a sudden surprise can cause a lot of confusion in enemy fleets. The commander of a detachment fired a red flare on his landline. This is a response to an order.

Maybe it's also called the Present World Newspaper. Just two days ago, the French Vice Admiral Dubois took away two former dreadnought battleships and two large armored cruisers. As well as 8 auxiliary warships, to attack Lesvos Island, the anti-aircraft firepower of the first four capital ships needless to say, maintaining the standard level of existing large warships, but four of the eight auxiliary warships are high-speed destroyers that have just been launched by the French Navy, and the biggest use is air defense and anti-submarine, and surface artillery warfare is already secondary. The anti-aircraft firepower of these four destroyers was much more powerful than that of the four capital ships, and their departure can be said to have greatly weakened the anti-aircraft firepower of the Franco-Italian fleet.

The commander of the first detachment used signal flags and flares to dispatch his subordinate aircraft, which were divided into two echelons. First, the six Harrier B fighters he led formed a goose-shaped formation and flew at an altitude of 4,000 meters, and the other team of six fighters flew at an altitude of 3,000 meters, all of which were in the position of the sun, which could play a good role in cover. Behind them was the second detachment flying at an altitude of 3,000 meters - 16 land-based H3D dive bombers. Finally, 16 torpedo aircraft and 9 B2B twin-engine long-range heavy bombers, one of which was the command aircraft of the entire fleet.

As we flew closer, we could finally see clearly from the air the surface of the sea where the Franco-Italian fleet was staying, an unnamed island in the Thracian Sea. The entire fleet is centered on this small island, because although it is really small, it can supply 40% of the water used by the entire fleet every day.

The commander of the first detachment issued the last order - the two-plane formation covered each other's targets and suppressed the enemy's anti-aircraft fire to the maximum!

12 fighters formed 6 battle formations at the fastest speed. The commander took the lead. With a hard push of the joystick, the Harrier changed its B-type fighter from horizontal flight to descent flight, and flew through the clouds like an eagle and a rabbit towards the fleet in front of it. The fighter jet, as a wingman, followed closely behind the long plane's right and flew straight down like a sword.

The 12 fighters of the detachment were dispersed in the air in 6 twin formations. Dives down from different angles towards the Franco-Italian battleship, attracting enemy anti-aircraft fire for the slower-flying land-based H3D dive bombers.

The French and Italians were also well-trained elites, when Chinese planes appeared in the sky. The guards in the mast immediately sounded the air raid siren.

The place was very close to the battle line, and the vigilance of the sailors on the warships was always very high. When the alarm was heard, even if the anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns were quickly pounced, the interval between them was less than a minute.

The only flaw in this fleet is air power. The island they were leaning on was too small and too small. The island is also mountainous, and after the construction of a hospital built on the mountain, the idea of the airfield remained on the blueprints.

Therefore, in the case that radar has not yet been invented, such a fleet has a strong surface combat capability, but it is a short board in the face of air threats. China has already invented seaplanes, but whether Europeans have invented seaplanes is still a seaplane. Immediately after the discovery of the Chinese plane, the flagship sent a telegram to the island of Thassos, more than fifty kilometers away, where there was a large flight base with a maximum of about a hundred aircraft. Now there are about thirty or forty of them.

The defeat in the previous air battle caused this airfield to lose a lot of blood.

The anti-aircraft artillery fire of the Franco-Italian fleet roared in front of the formation of six groups of fighters of the first detachment, and beautiful fireworks bloomed in the sky one after another, weaving a network of fire. All anti-aircraft guns and machine guns were pouring ammunition into the sky at the highest rate of fire.

How to approach a battleship with heavy anti-aircraft artillery fire is the greatest challenge and test of the skill and courage of every combat pilot. In order to avoid the fire of the anti-aircraft guns on the side decks of the left and right sides of the enemy ship, Harrier fighters circled left and right in the air, and they did their best to insert from the dead end of the anti-aircraft guns behind the stern of the ship. Fiercely strafing the deck with machine guns in front of the fighters, inflicting maximum trouble on the enemy with small bomblets hanging from the wings of their own aircraft.

The plane swooped down from the sky, and it was a kind of irresistible thrill. Each of the pilots flying the dive bombers deeply loved the feeling of falling in the air, and the highly excited nerves stimulated the pilots' fighting spirit, and the 16 land-based H3D dive bombers carried a kind of sharp roar that belonged to them. Quickly closing the distance between them and the warship. The battleship in their eyes was rapidly getting bigger, and the dark red light of anti-aircraft fire was constantly passing in front of the pilots' eyes. Some people succeeded. They directly dived the bomber to a distance of less than 200 meters from the warship before pulling it up, not because they were unwilling to continue to get closer. It's that the structural strength and materials of the aircraft can't withstand this huge tensile force. The development of aircraft has never relied on the engine alone, and the design and materials of the aircraft structure are also an important part of it. Although they may seem less important.

The shock wave of the bomb explosion made the plane sensational, and the pilot increased the throttle, and the plane motor was at full power, and he quickly increased his altitude with his greatest efforts. They are not fighter planes, and the two small bomblets hanging on the left and right wings cannot even bubble up a single bubble on the sea, and the means by which they accomplish their tasks is to rely on their constant low-altitude shuttle shooting and anti-aircraft fire in the fleet. Between the nets of fire, a rain of bullets swept the deck of the enemy ships. The first element of the bomber after dropping the bomb is to quickly pull up and escape from the enemy's anti-aircraft fire range as quickly as possible.

The dive bomber, which had won the blow, quickly left, and behind the butt were the tongues of fire of several anti-aircraft machine guns.

Only 11 of the 16 land-based H3D dive bombers escaped the anti-aircraft fire of the Franco-Italian fleet, three of the other five were blown up by volley, and two were damaged and crashed directly into the warship. Sixteen torpedo planes began to attack, and the anti-aircraft fire network of the Franco-Italian fleet had been broken by the previous attack, and eight B2B twin-engine long-range heavy bombers were reduced to an altitude of 800 meters. A barrage of bombs was poured on the head of the Franco-Italian fleet. They did not dare to continue to descend, the B2B twin-engine long-range heavy bomber was only 180 kilometers per hour, which was too easy to be caught by anti-aircraft fire, even though their defense power was the strongest among all types of aircraft. You can't go with the anti-aircraft guns hard-topped cows!

Several bold torpedo planes broke through directly to a distance of only 500 meters from the fleet before dropping torpedoes, and the appearance of more than a dozen high-speed torpedoes made the French and Italian fleets panic. Too many warships and too dense are not a good thing. Isn't there going to be trouble right now?

If you dodge, can the warship behind you dodge?

The projection of torpedoes provided a good help to the B2B twin-engine long-range heavy bomber group at an altitude of 800 meters.

Heavy bombs landed on the capital ships of the Franco-Italian fleet. Each shot can cause a lot of damage to a warship. Plumes of black smoke accompanied by billowing flames reflected the sea area when 15 minutes had passed. All attacks were over, and the sea, which had been peaceful and quiet a quarter of an hour before, was completely in disarray.

Only one light cruiser was sunk, and before the bombardment could reap the benefits, the first wave of attack was more about wounding enemy ships and weakening their anti-aircraft fire nets. But the torpedoes were more effective, two destroyers were sunk, and a former dreadnought battleship was wounded to the side and its speed was noticeably reduced.

Thirteen of the 16 torpedo planes flew back safely, and seven of the 12 Harrier B fighters flew back. Plus the losses of the dive bomber group. The losses of the first attack aircraft group were not small.

- 5 fighters, 5 dive bombers, 3 torpedo planes!

Compared with the losses of Chinese aircraft in the previous air battles, the loss of these 13 aircraft is particularly shocking.

If the battle is over, the Gallic roosters and Italian noodles will still be able to boast their 'victory' in Europe after kicking their cheeks in their pockets! After all, 13 planes were laid.

Now in the eyes of many people, the airplane is still a tall thing, although people know intellectually that the cost of a small destroyer can burst dozens or hundreds of planes.

But it feels different.

One flies in the sky, the other swims in the water, and the plane will explode the warship on the level!

This is a completely different era from the original plane, and the emergence and great role of airships have pushed the status of airplanes to the top. Today's airplanes, even if they are rudimentary, have great prospects.

Coupled with the previous air battle record that overwhelmed the whole of Western and Central Europe, 13 planes were able to make the 'leaders' of the Franco-Italian fleet pass through this dangerous hurdle.

But the second wave of attack aircraft has arrived. At a distance of about 100 kilometers, it only takes about 40 minutes to take care of the B2B twin-engine long-range heavy bomber group. Therefore, the entire attack aircraft group is divided into three parts, which can be completely connected. The first wave of attack planes has just left the field, and the second wave of attack planes has already pounced like wolves.

The second wave of the attack caused far more trauma to the Franco-Italian fleet than the first. Black smoke rose from both dreadnoughts. But near the end, the Europeans' fighter group arrived.

After determining the location of the Franco-Italian fleet, the next target of the reconnaissance planes was the flight base on the island of Thassos, where there were still as many as thirty or forty remaining Franco-Italian planes, and if they entered the war, it would have a great impact.

The command plane that received the alarm quickly made adjustments, and the remaining 10 Harrier B fighters bravely met it, followed by the escort fighter detachment in the third wave of attack aircraft groups that arrived in advance, and the addition of twelve Harrier B fighters made the number of fighters on both sides directly from more than 3:1 to less than 2:1. However, the attack of the third wave of attack aircraft was still significantly affected, and its results were not much stronger than those of the second wave of attack aircraft.

A total of 34 Franco-Italian fighters affected the Chinese attack aircraft group in the air for more than half an hour, and finally all of them were damaged in the sky over the Thracian Sea. The sacrifice of these men was not unrewarded, and one dreadnought and two heavy cruisers eventually escaped the hunt, and the entire attack continued for the Chinese air force units in a total of eight rounds, until the Franco-Italian battleships escaped the attack radius of the group.

In the original plan, Dante of Italy. The battleship Aligli, also known as the 'Dante', should have sunk to the bottom of the sea in the fifth or sixth round of bombardment. Instead of holding out until the end of the seventh round of bombing, it broke out of the radius of attack of Chinese aircraft before the arrival of the eighth round. With such a seriously injured body, with more than 4,000 tons of seawater in his stomach, he returned to Volos, an important seaport in central Greece, with great difficulty.

During the nearly two-hour air raid, the Chinese Air Force shot down a total of 43 planes and damaged more than 50 sorties. The Chinese Air Force paid the price in blood, and more than 30 of the 43 pilots who crashed were killed on the spot, and only five were rescued by seaplanes.

But they sank one dreadnought, a former dreadnought battleship and a large armored cruiser, and half of the 6 capital ships of the Franco-Italian Navy were sunk. Another 25 auxiliary warships were sunk, 12 were seriously damaged, and 7 were seriously damaged. All 2 10,000-ton transport ships were sunk. The Franco-Italian navy lost at least 5000 people, and 34 fighters!

This is a war to push the 'plane' to the throne. Just like the first time China attacked Singapore with an airship...... (To be continued.) )
