On the afternoon of January 10, 1913, after suffering the first round of blows from the carrier-based aviation of the Chinese Navy, the combined American and British fleets paid the price of three battleships being sunk and three battleships heavily damaged. Under the fleet commander William. Under the orders of Admiral Benson, the fleet continued south! It's just that this time the American fleet and the British fleet were separated, with the American fleet ahead and the British fleet behind. The commander of the British fleet, John Brown. Morality. Admiral Robeck has already made up his mind that if no more Chinese aircraft are invited to attack, they will fulfill their obligations as allies and continue to assist the US Navy and the Chinese Navy in the decisive battle! If there are Chinese planes again, they will run away without saying a word!

The fleet did not move south, as several wounded battleships were slower. Originally, those battleships that had been badly damaged had already withdrawn from the battlefield, but several battleships that had been lightly damaged were asked to stay and fight. After all, after three battleships were sunk and three more were heavily damaged, the lead ships of the combined fleet of the US-British Navy had already suffered huge losses! Any battleship is an indispensable and valuable combat force!

The flagship of the combined U.S.-British fleet was still the battleship Pennsylvania. Admiral Benson did not change capital ships because the USS Pennsylvania was damaged. Although the Pennsylvania was hit by one torpedo and two bombs, the damage was not severe. The speed of the battleship decreased slightly, and the loss of an additional main gun reduced the ship's firepower by a quarter. But even so, the battleship 'Pennsylvania' was still a formidable battleship!

In the bridge of the battleship 'Pennsylvania'. Combined Fleet Commander William. Admiral Benson frowned. Now the combined fleet has lost six battleships. Or the most powerful battleship. This caused a great loss of combat power of the Combined Fleet. Even if it encounters the main force of the Chinese Navy's expeditionary fleet, I am afraid it will not be so easy to win. However, for William. Admiral Benson said that now he had no choice but to go all the way to the dark! If the Combined Fleet does not succeed in defeating the Chinese Naval Expeditionary Fleet this time, it will be a catastrophic blow to the United States! The United States will be quickly defeated and then destroyed by China. What will happen to them as Americans? No one dares to imagine. The United States has always declared to the people that if the United States loses the war, the Americans will be wantonly killed by China like the natives of the South Seas, and the Chinese will rob them of their land, wealth and even women, so as to inspire the Americans to fight against the invading squadron without fear of death. Of course, this propaganda to vilify China has also had very good results, at least as evidenced by the long queues at recruiting points across the United States. It's just that at least the United States sent these poor Americans to the battlefield to die!

"God bless America! We will definitely defeat the evil Chinese and win the war! "William. Admiral Benson secretly prayed in his heart, praying that the United States and Britain would win the decisive battle in this decisive battle. Merely. God did not bless America. Soon, William. Admiral Benson's hopes were dashed. Because the second wave of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy is about to fly above their heads!

Four 'Emeishan-class' aircraft carriers of the Chinese Navy. Each can carry eighty warplanes. In the first wave of previous attacks, each carrier scrambled to take off a squadron of fighters, torpedo attack planes, and bombers. The remaining half of the planes of each aircraft carrier took off twenty minutes after the first wave of fighters left. By the time they completed the formation and began to fly north, the first wave of aircraft had already completed the strike on the combined fleet of the United States and Britain and began to return home! In this way, the two waves of aircraft can be staggered, and by the time the second wave strikes the combined U.S.-British fleet, the first wave has already landed and begun to refill fuel and ammunition. By the time the second wave of aircraft returns, they will take off to continue their strikes against the combined U.S.-British fleet. To ensure as many sorties as possible before dark, to wipe out the main forces of the combined American and British fleet! After all, this time the combined American and British fleets had too many battleships, more than three times more than the combined fleet of the British and French navies in the naval battle of Sicily. As a result, the pilots on each of the four 'Emeishan-class' aircraft carriers of the Chinese Navy had to participate in two or three attacks!

At 3:18 p.m., the second wave of carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy appeared in the eyes of the officers and men of the US-British joint fleet. It's still an overwhelming fleet of planes, at least hundreds of planes!

"Woo! Woo! The poignant jǐng report rang out over the Combined Fleet. After experiencing the last strike by the carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy, these Americans already knew how powerful the carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy were.

"Your Excellency, Commander, planes! The plane of the Chinese is coming again? At least hundreds of planes! "Edward. Lieutenant General Abor turned pale to William. Admiral Benson reports! He knew William. Admiral Benson made a desperate bet on the hope that the Chinese would no longer send planes to attack the Combined Fleet. However, reality once again gave them a slap in the face, and the Chinese plane came again!

"How is that possible? Where exactly did the Chinese plane take off from? "William. Admiral Benson roared like a wounded beast. His hopes were all dashed at this moment, and likewise, the last chance of the United States was lost at this moment! The last wave of Chinese aircraft cost the United Fleet six of its most powerful capital ships, and now in this wave, their losses will certainly not be small. Moreover, this has proved that the Chinese can attack them with a steady stream of aircraft. Even if the US-British combined fleet has more capital ships, it will not be able to withstand the blows of aircraft!

"General, what should we do now?" Edward. Lieutenant General Abor is a little out of sight. Obviously, this time the combined fleet of the US and British navies is lost, how should it end next?

"Order all ships to prepare for battle, no matter what, we have to resist the attack of the Chinese!" William. Admiral Benson forced his composure and then ordered. As the commander of the fleet, the more desperate he gets, the more he can't panic!

"Yes, General!" Edward. Lieutenant General Abor nodded. The order to fight was given the moment the jǐng newspaper sounded. A large number of US Navy officers and sailors ran out of the cabin and came to the anti-aircraft gun position, ready to fight the Chinese planes!

At the back of the queue on the bridge of the British Navy's battleship 'Marlborough', the commander of the British fleet, John Murray, was the commander of the British fleet. Morality. Admiral Robeck was also pale. The previous flagship, the Queen Elizabeth, had been badly damaged and had returned to the United States under the escort of several destroyers, and he also moved his command to the battleship Marlborough. But he did not expect that the Chinese's plane actually appeared again, which made him completely lose confidence in this naval battle!

"It's over, it's over! The combined fleet is finished, and so is the United States! Return home and leave the battlefield! "John. Morality. Admiral Robeck ordered!

"General, would you like to ask William. General Benson? A staff officer asked.

"Please show me a fart! It is no longer possible for those Yankees to defeat the Chinese, and even they themselves will get into it! We must now evacuate the battlefield and join up with the Queen Elizabeth and head straight back to England! "John. Morality. Admiral Robeck said. Obviously, he is not optimistic about this decisive battle at all, nor is he optimistic about the United States! In such a situation, he still oiled the soles of his feet, and it was better to slip first! Although after the defeat of the United States, Britain could not run. But being able to support it for a while longer is a while! Maybe there will be a turnaround!

"Yes, General!" The staff officer nodded and said no more!

When the second wave of carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy launched an attack on the combined American and British fleet, the remaining battleships of the British fleet began to turn around and accelerate their flight to the north. And the carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy are busy attacking those huge battleships of the US Navy, so they don't care about pursuing them! However, these escaped British fleets were finally courted by the United States and Britain!

"Fighters are responsible for cover, attracting enemy anti-aircraft fire! Torpedo attack aircraft and dive bombers are responsible for launching attacks on the enemy's capital ships, prioritizing the biggest targets! Rear Admiral Li Lichuan, commander of the 2nd Wing of Carrier-based Aircraft of the Chinese Navy, ordered.

"Yes, General!" The various group leaders and squadron leaders below replied by radio! The results of the first wave of carrier-based aircraft were known to them, which greatly cheered them up, and every pilot was full of morale. Although the battleships below are like hills, in the eyes of these carrier-based pilots, they are nothing more than prey!

"Kill!" Forty-eight F5B Puffin fighters flew in small formations and accelerated over the U.S. fleet. The battleships of the American fleet immediately began to fire at the planes in the sky. Dense bullets and shells formed a dense network of fire in the sky, but the carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy were like light petrels, unscathed through the fire net, and at the same time swept those anti-aircraft fire, creating an opportunity for torpedo attack aircraft and dive bombers!

After the fighters attracted the anti-aircraft fire of the American fleet, 48 F5C "Osprey" torpedo attack aircraft and 48 F5D "Fish Eagle" dive bombers broke in from low and high altitudes, respectively, and launched an attack on the capital ship of the American fleet! (To be continued......)
