After losing more than a dozen attack aircraft, the huge Italian sea-based attack aircraft group finally entered the attack position, and then, more than fifty attack aircraft of various kinds divided into two groups to launch an attack on the opposing fleet! At this time, after a bloody battle, the fighters who could still accompany the attack aircraft had to continue to rush to the front to suppress the opponent's fire and attract the opponent's anti-aircraft fire, the dive bombers began to descend to prepare to drop bombs, and the torpedo planes were divided into two teams and flew to the sides of the target aircraft carrier at the same time, preparing to cross release torpedoes. This time, they chose two Austro-Hungarian aircraft carriers, the Bohemia and the Raut.

The former was chosen because of the commanding flag flying above the Bohemia. And the reason for choosing the latter was that this was the largest aircraft carrier in Austria-Hungary! "Left full rudder, let the escort fleet keep up!" Next to the aircraft carrier Bohemia is the convoy led by the Prince Eugen, the huge hull of the Bohemia has drawn an S-shaped track on the sea, while the Prince Eugen and several destroyers use a dense barrage to intercept the opponent's attack aircraft, the hull of the Prince Eugen is about 230 meters long and blocks the left side of the Bohemia, and any fighter who wants to enter from this direction will be fired by hundreds of various anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns on the battleship! At this time, the Austro-Hungarian fleet, which was struggling to resist, was like a fire hedgehog, spitting deadly flames in the air!

Although the momentum is very large, in the face of this kind of suppression by existing fighters and the formation attack of the opponent's attack aircraft, in the absence of fire control radar, VT shells and better antiaircraft artillery. (The Bofors in the article has the same name as the Bofors in history, but it is not the same artillery!) This kind of air defense combat is more used to reduce the hit rate of the opponent's attack than to really shoot down how many planes can be shot. The planes shuttled through a dense hail of bullets, except for 2 two dive bombers who were unlucky enough to be hit by a volley of high-explosive shells. The remaining dozen or so dive bombers involved in the attack successfully passed through the barrage and began to drop bombs!

"Right full rudder! Avoid them! When the three dive bombers rushed towards the Bohemia, Holdie immediately ordered that the crisis had come. The remaining half hour or so will completely decide the outcome of this battle! The other side grasped the timing very accurately, after the 4 fighters had just swept the gun emplacements on the right anti-aircraft gun deck with their cannons, 3 dive bombers came one after another, and when the officers and men of the Austro-Hungarian Navy were cleaning up the corpses on the gun emplacements, rescuing the wounded and loading ammunition, the 3 dive bombers had dropped 3 250KG bombs from a height of 500 meters!

The rudder was hit to the maximum, under the action of huge inertia. The whole ship began to tilt, so that the people working on the deck were somewhat unsteady, thanks to the ample power and fairly timely response. The three bombs of this wave of attacks did not cause much damage, except for a close miss, which caused some water in individual compartments, the other effects were not great, after all, it was a 250KG armor-piercing shell. The internal charge is limited.

A wave of unevenness has risen again and again. After struggling to dodge the first wave of attacks, Jordi didn't have time to catch his breath, and two more teams of dive bombers dropped bombs, this time the other side's bombs were very well coordinated, attacking from the left and right directions, which made the Bohemia not know where to hide, and after trying to dodge 4 bombs, two bombs finally hit the flagship of the Austro-Constitutional Navy. A bomb penetrated the deck and exploded in the hangar, although the charge was not very large. But dozens of kilograms of high explosives tore several planes parked in the hangar to shreds, and the remaining fuel and oil inside the planes also burned, and billowing smoke began to spread along the gaps to the entire battleship. The emergency team had to put on a gas area and pull down the fire curtain while extinguishing the fire to prevent the fire from spreading.

Another bomb eventually landed in the Bohemia's power bay after penetrating the flight deck and the main horizontal armor below. Under the impact of huge kinetic energy, a boiler was directly destroyed, although the bomb did not explode in the end, but the pressure inside the boiler itself and the high temperature and high pressure steam still turned this sub-silo into an authentic Shura field! Under the action of the huge impact, even the screw-sized fragments have the lethality of bullets, and those seemingly harmless water vapors are even more invisible, maybe just a suck may destroy the human respiratory tract! Billowing steam and black smoke from combustion spread from the ship's hull, and the battleship, which was nearly half-paralyzed in the power compartment, quickly slowed down, paving the way for the bombardment below.

When the third wave of bombers dropped a 250KG bomb into the Hangar of the Bohemia again, the front hangar of the entire battleship was completely in flames. This is a high-explosive bomb, and the charge with an internal charge of nearly 120KG makes the operation of extinguishing the flames a pipe dream, because this bomb fell directly on the head of the damage management team, and the entire loss management team was reimbursed in this way. The huge explosion directly opened a large hole in the upper flight deck, and a large amount of air poured into the hangar along the breach, making the fire in the entire hangar even more difficult to extinguish.

Although all the dive bombers have finished dropping bombs, but the Bohemia has not escaped, the biggest crisis is coming, more than 10 torpedo bombers began to drop bombs from both sides, although because of the cover of Prince Eugen, the angle of the torpedo machine that dropped the mine from the left side was very bad, and it did not hit directly, but the damaged Bohemia did not be able to dodge the torpedo attack on the right, 3 of the 8 torpedoes hit the poor battleship, one of them hit the stern, All two rudders were blown to pieces along with the wheelhouse, and another torpedo hit the propeller shaft, destroying one of the propeller shafts and making a large opening of more than twenty square meters in the lower part of the hull.

Although the third torpedo was inconspicuous, but the most deadly, this torpedo directly hit the aviation fuel depot located at the bottom of the ship, although the violent explosion was absorbed by the underwater defense system and did not directly destroy the oil depot, but the violent vibration and impact still caused a large number of cracks in the oil depot, and the volatile aviation gasoline quickly spread to the various compartments of the hull. As long as there is a little open flame, such as an electric spark caused by friction, it is easy to have a large explosion. In the end, the USS Bohemia was abandoned because of an unstoppable fire that broke out inside the entire battleship due to the fire caused by fuel vapors, and at the same time caused a large number of casualties.

If the attack on the USS Bohemia was smooth, then the attack on the USS Lord Loudon could be described as tangled, not so much because the anti-aircraft fire of the USS Loudon aircraft carrier formation was fierce, but because the aircraft carrier was too hard! 250KG armor-piercing and high-explosive shells are difficult to put on the deck of this armored aircraft carrier! Except for one bomb that hit the unprotected part of the foredeck and blew up the sailor's cabin below, the three 250KG bombs that hit the armored deck were all bounced off by the heavy armor, and the best result was only to smash a hole in the deck.

Just when the dive bombers failed to attack, hoping that the torpedo planes would be able to replenish their guns, several German planes rushed out from behind the torpedo planes and launched an attack on the Italian torpedo planes that were about to drop mines, and the torpedo planes were unable to dodge the attacks of these fighters at a height of more than 100 meters above the sea surface, and the 10 or so torpedo planes in the entire formation were knocked out in an instant, and the remaining 6 torpedo planes reluctantly dropped their torpedoes. Six torpedoes swept across the sea, far from the USS Loudon. After a round of indiscriminate bombardment, the aircraft carrier did not suffer much damage.

Although the tactics planned by Tycho, Lin Yongsheng and Su Mo were successful in theory, but in the face of the continuous support of German naval aviation and land-based aviation, the attack of the Italian Navy could only end here, but just when the Italian sea-based aviation was about to leave by hand, a wounded twin-engine torpedo plane suddenly appeared on the left side of the aircraft carrier Loudoden, God knows how this plane escaped the hunt just now, this crew is very sophisticated, he chose the port side of the Loudon with relatively large anti-aircraft fire losses to launch an attack, And the time to enter the battlefield is also very good, at this time there is almost no fighter protection around the aircraft carrier Louden, but the Austrians are not nervous, because it is difficult for a torpedo to hit, and even if it hits, the problem will not be very big, this is a standard fleet aircraft carrier!

"He's going to ram us!" The Austrians finally saw the strangeness of the other side, and when they threw mines, they had requirements for the height and speed of the plane, but this plane flew from an altitude of 2,000 meters, and then dived down at a speed of almost 50 degrees, and this kind of dive with a torpedo at this angle had no chance to pull up again! The enormous inertia gave the plane an extremely terrifying destructive power, and the panicked Oli turned quickly while concentrating anti-aircraft fire on the desperate attacker. Contrary to what most people think, it is not very easy to hit a ship, especially when the other side still has dense anti-aircraft fire, and in the end the operation of this crew is not successful.

Rumble! At a distance of 50 meters from the Loudoden, the plane was finally smashed into pieces by dense anti-aircraft guns, but the huge explosion made the aircraft fragments have a huge lethality, in the case of the original inertia, most of the wreckage of the aircraft still hit the gap between the hangar and the lower power compartment of the Louden aircraft carrier, the power cabin armor of the battleship is not very thick, and the side of the hangar has no protection except for thin steel plates, and the strong impact has opened a large hole of dozens of square meters in the side chord of the battleship, The raging flames began to spread in all directions, and although the power bay was protected by armor and sponging layers to block a large number of debris, there were still some debris that destroyed some of the facilities inside.

"Looks like Loudon will be in dockyard for a few months." Raeder looked at the Loudon in the distance, which was blazing in the distance, and said calmly.
