Chapter 437

"Hell, these damn carrier aircraft are as annoying as flies. It would be great if I could have a fly swatter and swat them all!"Admiral Charles Forbes couldn't help but muttered.

He was really disgusted by the carrier-based aircraft that were constantly hovering over the fleet and waiting for opportunities to attack. Especially these carrier-based aircraft also carried enough to make even huge battleships be destroyed. It is even more annoying when heavy aviation bombs and heavy aviation torpedoes are severely damaged, or even sunk.

But unfortunately, it is not easy to shoot down those carrier-based aircraft.

"Your Excellency, Commander, several of our battleships have been injured. However, because the armor was very thick, the injury was not serious. Moreover, relying on the powerful anti-aircraft firepower, it has caused considerable casualties to the Third Reich's carrier-based aircraft fleet."Lieutenant General Arthur Powell reported.

Admiral Charles Forbes couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

What he feared most was that these battleships of the Royal Navy's Home Fleet, just like those aircraft carriers, could be easily destroyed by the ships of the Third Reich. The carrier aircraft was sunk. In that case, there would be no need to continue this battle.

Fortunately, the performance of these battleships of the Royal Navy did not disappoint him

"It seems that the powerful armor and intensive anti-aircraft firepower can withstand the attack of carrier-based aircraft. Capital ships will not become obsolete under the attack of a combination of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft." General Charles Forbes came to this conclusion

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander. Judging from the current situation, capital ships can rely on powerful armor and anti-aircraft firepower to withstand the attack of enemy carrier-based aircraft." Lt. Gen. Arthur Powell also said

"very good! Then we still have a chance to win in this battle. In other words, our chances of winning are still very good. As long as these capital ships are not sunk or suffer heavy damage, their combat effectiveness will not be greatly affected. We can defeat the Third Reich Navy and win this naval battle!"Admiral Charles Forbes once again became confident.

Unfortunately, they seemed to only see the current situation and did not consider that the second wave of attacks by the Third Reich's carrier-based aircraft groups had just begun. As these carrier-based aircraft The continued attacks by aircraft will cause greater damage to these battleships of the Royal Navy. By then, it is very difficult to say whether the Royal Navy's home fleet will have the confidence to withstand the attack of the Third Reich.

In the Third Reich When the second wave of carrier-based aircraft groups launched an attack on the Royal Navy's home fleet, the Third Reich Navy also faced an attack by the Royal Navy's carrier-based aircraft groups. Before the

Royal Navy aircraft carrier formation was attacked again, it had already taken off ninety-nine times. A carrier-based aircraft launched an attack on the Third Reich Navy.

The person responsible for commanding this attack was Commodore Richard.

When the Royal Navy's carrier-based aircraft group was more than 200 kilometers away from the main fleet formation of the Third Reich Navy, it had been The air search radar was discovered.

The Third Reich Navy responded immediately, and the ships entered air defense combat mode.

Cruisers and destroyers began to protect the ships. Anti-aircraft guns one by one were also aimed at the sky, ready Ready to fire

"Your Excellency, Marshal, the aircraft carrier is preparing to take off carrier-based aircraft to intercept. It is expected that the number of Royal Navy carrier-based aircraft that break through the interception of anti-aircraft fighters will not be too large and will pose too great a threat to us."General Albrecht reported.

Marshal Redl nodded:"The Royal Navy's counterattack is just a desperate struggle. After getting rid of them, it's time to completely bury the Royal Navy in this sea!"

"Yes, Your Excellency Marshal. This time, the Royal Navy will never be our opponent. We will definitely win this battle!"General Albrecht seemed confident.

The four Zeppelin-class aircraft carriers of the Third Reich were releasing carrier-based aircraft.

One after another, carrier-based fighter jets rushed into the sky.

After completing their formation in the air, the killing to the carrier-based aircraft group of the Royal Navy.

After dispatching two batches of carrier-based aircraft, the Third Reich's aircraft carrier fleet had 48 carrier-based fighter jets left. Among them, 16 had returned and were used as reconnaissance aircraft. After discovering the incoming Royal Navy carrier-based aircraft group, the aircraft carrier formation naturally tried its best.

After the last carrier-based BF-109 fighter took off, the aircraft carriers of the Third Reich Navy also moved in. into the air defense operations.

The aircraft carrier hid in the air defense network constructed by large air defense cruisers, heavy cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers. Coupled with its own powerful air defense firepower, the Royal Navy's carrier-based aircraft group wanted to attack the third party It is not that easy for the Empire's aircraft carriers to launch an attack.

Of course, the Royal Navy's carrier-based aircraft groups will most likely not attack the Third Reich's aircraft carriers. Only the battleships at the front will be given priority by the Royal Navy's carrier-based aircraft groups. Attack target.

However, it is very difficult to say how many carrier-based aircraft of the Royal Navy can break through the interception and launch an attack on the fleet of the Third Reich Navy under the interception of the Third Reich's air defense fighters.

"Prepare for battle and prioritize the Royal Navy's dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft!"The commander of the Third Reich's anti-aircraft fighter issued a combat order.

Compared with those fighter jets, unless the carrier-based pilots of the Royal Navy directly drove the aircraft into the warships of the Third Reich. Otherwise, the aerial bombs carried by the dive bombers would and aerial torpedoes carried by torpedo attack aircraft, posing a much greater threat to the warships of the Third Reich.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

One after another, the carrier-based BF-109 fighter jets dived down from high altitudes and launched an attack.

The cannons roared and a dense rain of bullets enveloped the Royal Navy's carrier-based aircraft group.

Compared to the size of fighter jets, bombers and torpedoes It is larger. It is easier to destroy it when attacking with a more powerful cannon.

A Great Gull dive bomber was hit by several 20mm cannon shells in succession, and the entire body was blown to pieces. The pilot died tragically on the spot. Falling towards the sea.

A Swordfish torpedo attack aircraft, its wings were blown to pieces, causing the fighter plane to lose its balance and fall towards the sea.

Under the attack of the anti-aircraft fighters of the Third Reich aircraft carrier formation, the Royal Navy's carrier The fleet of aircraft is like dumplings, being shot down constantly._Feilu reminds you: three things about reading - collection, recommendation,
