Early in the morning of May 14th, Roslyn. Lieutenant General Wells climbed the rocky mountain north of Gibraltar and waited for today's battle to begin! In yesterday's battle, the B battery of the Gibraltar Fortress was destroyed, reducing the firepower of the Gibraltar Fortress by 20 percent! And, in yesterday's battle, only a few of the main ships of the Chinese Navy were damaged, and none of them were sunk or heavily damaged. Lieutenant General Wells was very dissatisfied. John. The Mediterranean Fleet led by Admiral Jericho launched a suicidal attack on the squadron, but it turned out to be ineffective at all. Lieutenant General Wells disdainful! He had already made up his mind, even if he abandoned the fortress of Gibraltar, but at least he would have to sink one or more of the main ships of the Chinese Navy! In this way, he was the British Admiralty Lord John Murphy. In front of Sir Fisher, there is also an explanation, maybe he can take the opportunity to go to a higher position!

Last night, Roslyn. Lieutenant General Wells gave an explanation to the commanders of each battery, asking them to show their greatest strength in today's battle! It is necessary to teach the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Navy a hard lesson! Therefore, he also values today's battle! In his opinion, with the firepower of the Gibraltar fortress, there should not be much problem in achieving his operational goals!

Just after 6:30 a.m., 11 battleships of the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Chinese Navy appeared off the coast of Gibraltar. The British naval officers and sailors guarding the fortress of Gibraltar immediately prepared for battle. Waiting for the lead ship of the Chinese Navy to come within range of the fortress guns. Merely. This time it was a surprise to the British naval officers and sailors. The battleships of the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Chinese Navy have been hovering over the sea at a distance of 12,000 kilometers without any signs of firing, which makes the British Navy officers and men very puzzled!

However, after half an hour, they knew why the capital ships of the Chinese Navy did not attack!

At 7 o'clock in the morning, the sun had already risen, and the golden sun shone on the sea, a sparkling scene. The horizon in the distance. A flock of small black dots appeared, like a bird flying from a distance! It's just that as the distance gets closer, these birds are getting bigger and bigger!

"Airplanes! Chinese planes! "The British Navy at the Gibraltar Fortress spotted a group of planes flying from the eastern horizon and immediately sounded the alarm! Many of Gibraltar's naval officers and sailors experienced the Battle of Sicily. It was that battle that annihilated the capital ships of the huge Mediterranean Fleet, causing the Mediterranean Fleet to collapse.

"Hell! How did the Chinese plane come? Could it be that their plane has been able to fly here from Sicily? It's impossible! No, it's an aircraft carrier. The Chinese aircraft carriers are coming! Order the troops, prepare for air defense! "Roslyn. Lieutenant General Wells's face changed drastically! The Chinese Navy annihilated the main force of the combined fleet of the British and American navies in the Battle of the Bahamas. The epoch-making weapon of aircraft carriers has also been exposed, and the fleet has been anchored in the Norfolk military port of the former US Navy, so aircraft carriers are also known to Western countries! And the fortress of Gibraltar has begun to be equipped with all kinds of anti-aircraft weapons after the naval battle of Sicily!

"Chief of Staff, our air defense positions suffered heavy losses at the time of yesterday's artillery battle, and less than half of the anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns remained!" The air defense commander of the fortress of Gibraltar turned pale to Rosslyn. Lieutenant General Wells reported! The anti-aircraft positions of the Gibraltar Fortress were established in various higher places of the fortress. Moreover, these anti-aircraft positions were not like artillery batteries, which were solidly protected. Yesterday's shelling by the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Chinese Navy not only destroyed one of the batteries of the Gibraltar Fortress, but also destroyed a number of anti-aircraft positions of the Gibraltar Fortress.

"Damn! No matter so much, let the air defense get into position! Get ready to take on the Chinese! "Roslyn. Lieutenant General Wells ordered! He had personally experienced the attacks of the Chinese Navy's air forces. The bombs that rained down into the sky were able to penetrate the thick armor of the battleship with ease, and the hit rate was amazing. The current fortress battery is a fixed target, and it must be more difficult to avoid the bombardment of the Chinese. As soon as I thought of this, Roslyn. Lieutenant General Wells's face was very ugly. Originally, he also wanted to use the battery to sink one or two warships of the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Chinese Navy. Now it seems that this is not possible at all!

A few minutes later, the carrier-based aircraft unit of the Chinese Navy flew over Gibraltar! 1 F1B "Puffin" fighters of 12 squadrons circled down, attracting enemy anti-aircraft fire.

"Da Da Da! Tom tom all! "Seeing the fighters of the Chinese Navy roaring down, the air defense positions of the fortress of Gibraltar immediately opened fire! All the anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns opened fire, forming a web of bullets and shells in the sky! It's just that the area of the fortress of Gibraltar is not small, and the British army's air defense positions were destroyed a lot yesterday, which makes their air defense fire network very funny. The Chinese Navy's fighter planes are like light petrels, shuttling through the fire net, which seems to be thrilling, but in fact there is no danger.

"Attention all planes, take the squad as a unit, and give priority to bombing the fort's batteries!" The captain of the dive bomber group of the 3rd Wing of the Chinese Navy's carrier-based aircraft, who was in charge of directing this operation, gave the order to attack! 48 H5D 'Fish Eagle' dive bombers scattered and pounced on 4 batteries each!

A squad of 4 H5D 'Fish Eagle' dive bombers flew over the A battery of the Gibraltar fortress and entered the dive channel at an altitude of thousands of meters, and the four dive bombers began to dive, and at the same time emitted a shrill whistling sound that seemed to puncture people's eardrums!

"Boom!" Four H5D 'Fish Eagle' dive bombers dived all the way to an altitude of more than 400 meters from the A battery before dropping bombs! Four armor-piercing shells weighing nearly six hundred kilograms smashed into the A battery. The weight of more than six hundred kilograms, under the action of gravitational acceleration, quickly smashed on the A battery with huge kinetic energy! Of the four armor-piercing shells, three fell next to the A battery, and only one hit the top of the A battery.

"Boom! Rumble! "The explosions rang out one after another, and I saw that the entire A battery was completely shrouded in gunsmoke, and when the smoke and dust cleared, three huge craters appeared around the A battery. The limestone on the top of the turret has also been completely blown out of a large crater, almost touching the top of the reinforced concrete inside the A turret! At the same time, the huge impact force generated by the explosion of the bomb also caused heavy losses to the gunners in the A battery, and many people were shocked to death!

After a squad of H5D 'Fish Eagles' dive bombers dropped bombs, four more went on to attack. This time, exactly two armor-piercing shells hit the roof of the A battery. Two armor-piercing shells pierced the protection on the roof of the A battery and exploded inside the battery! I saw that the entire A-battery was shattered in the violent explosion. Those fortress guns inside the battery were also blown up, and the entire battery was completely destroyed!

Several other batteries did not escape the bombardment of the carrier-based aircraft units of the Chinese Navy, and in less than half an hour, four batteries were completely blown up! There were still more than a dozen H5D 'Fish Eagle' dive bombers that had not yet dropped their bombs, and finally had to drop these bombs on the British air defense positions in Gibraltar. Using armor-piercing shells against these air defense positions completely has the feeling of killing chickens with a knife!

After the bombing was completed, the Chinese Navy's carrier-based aircraft unit flew away, and in this bombing, only one F5B "Puffin" fighter was shot down, and the pilot was rescued by the destroyer who arrived after a forced landing on the sea. The destruction of four fortified batteries in Gibraltar at the cost of one aircraft is undoubtedly a very good deal!

Admiral Li Haitao, commander of the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Chinese Navy, was very satisfied with the performance of the carrier-based aircraft on the battleship "Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty." Yesterday, it took 11 battleships of the Indian Ocean Fleet to destroy only one battery in an afternoon, and now carrier-based aircraft have been dispatched to destroy the other four batteries in less than half an hour. The strength of the combat power is really shocking!

"Old Wu, how is it? The strength of the carrier-based aircraft force should not be underestimated! Admiral Li Haitao asked!

"Yes! It seems that the era of giant ship cannons will soon pass! Carrier-based aircraft are the main force in future naval warfare! Lieutenant General Wu Zhiyuan also sighed!

"Order the ships, enter the Bay of Algessila, prepare to shell the positions of the British, clear the way for the landing of the marines! Also, contact General Tang of the 8th Marine Division, and it's time to see them next! Admiral Li Haitao ordered! Now that the batteries of the Gibraltar fortress have been completely destroyed, the Gibraltar fortress has lost its weapons to threaten the fleet. In front of the main guns of the fleet, the defense of the fortress of Gibraltar will be vulnerable!

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Off the coast of Gibraltar, 11 battleships and 1 battlecruiser of the Chinese Navy sailed into a distance less than six kilometers from the Gibraltar fortress and opened fire! Subsequently, several 'river-class' heavy cruisers of the fleet also joined in, and those light cruisers and destroyers directly entered the Alhes Sila Bay, shelling the positions of the British Army and Marines at close range!

The transport ship transporting the 8th Division of the Chinese Marine Corps also began to sail towards Gibraltar, and at 8 a.m., the landing craft were dropped on the transport ship, and the vanguard of a battalion began to launch a landing operation on the beach on the east side of the Bay of Algessila! Several 'Fuqing-class' destroyers have sailed to a distance of less than two kilometers from the shore, bombarding the beach with rapid-fire guns to provide fire support for the landing troops!
