"Each squadron launches an attack, targeting the four battleships of Caesar's Kingdom!"

The sun never sets on the carrier-based aircraft group commander of the Imperial Royal Navy issued the order.

"Yes, sir!"The pilots replied one after another.

Sixty carrier-based aircraft roared towards the naval fleet of the Kingdom of Caesar.

The four battleships became the primary attack targets of the Royal Navy's carrier-based aircraft group.

"Fire!"

The anti-aircraft firepower of the Caesar Kingdom Navy also started shooting.

"boom! boom! boom!"

The 105-meter anti-aircraft gun, fire first.

Although this caliber of anti-aircraft gun is powerful and has a long range. However, the fleet is not equipped with much equipment and the rate of fire is relatively low. It is difficult to hit the Royal Navy's carrier-based aircraft and does not give them cause substantial harm

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The 40mm anti-aircraft guns and 2mm anti-aircraft guns also started firing.

This small-caliber anti-aircraft gun has powerful firepower and extremely fast rate of fire. It can actually pose a fatal threat to carrier-based aircraft.

The Royal Navy's carrier-based aircraft group, Under the intensive anti-aircraft firepower of the Kingdom of Caesar's naval fleet, the attack began

"boom!"

A Swordfish torpedo attack aircraft was hit and exploded in the air.

The Swordfish torpedo attack aircraft is a biplane, with a maximum speed of only more than 200 kilometers. Especially after mounting a heavy torpedo, the speed is even faster It was affected. At this time, it was also easier to become the target of anti-aircraft artillery.

The naval fleet of the Kingdom of Caesar in another time and space did not have strong anti-aircraft firepower.

But in this time and space, perhaps because of the influence of the Third Reich, The naval warships of the Kingdom of Caesar also strengthened the fleet's anti-aircraft firepower. So that when the Royal Navy's carrier-based aircraft group launched an attack, it did not take any advantage.

"boom! boom!"

Two Great Ou dive bombers launched an attack on the battleship Count Cavour.

Braving intensive anti-aircraft firepower, they dived and dropped bombs.

Unfortunately, the two five-hundred-pound aerial bombs failed to hit Cavour. Instead, the battleship Earl fell into the sea. After the bomb exploded, a high water column was splashed.

Facing the attack of the Royal Navy's carrier-based aircraft group, the Caesar Kingdom's naval fleet tried its best.

However, the Caesar Kingdom The strength of the navy is really not that good. The entire air defense formation is very loose, and each ship is almost fighting independently.

Fortunately, the Royal Navy's carrier-based aircraft group seems to be engaged in actual combat, and it also looks very chaotic. The carrier-based aircraft pilots faced When facing the intensive anti-aircraft firepower, they were frightened and did not dare to attack through the force net.

This made the battle look fierce, but the results achieved by the Royal Navy's carrier-based aircraft group were not great.

"boom!"

A five-hundred-pound aerial bomb hit the battleship Giulio Caesar.

The shell blew a large hole in the forward deck and ignited a raging fire.

But unfortunately, no further damage was caused.

Urgent Then, a 450mm medium-sized torpedo launched by a Swordfish torpedo attack aircraft hit the battleship Caio Durio, the flagship of the Caesar Kingdom's naval fleet. The torpedo blasted a hole in its side, causing seawater to flow into it crazily. Fortunately, the hole was not too big, and the damage control personnel blocked it in time to avoid greater damage to the warship. Half an hour later, the Royal Navy's carrier-based aircraft group dropped all the bombs and torpedoes, and no one could They did not evacuate the battlefield. However, they did not achieve much results. They only damaged two battleships of the Kingdom of Caesar Navy. The carrier-based aircraft group of the Royal Navy also suffered a lot of losses. Dispatch Among the sixty carrier-based aircraft, four Sea Fighter carrier-based fighters, 8 Great Gull dive bombers and 19 Swordfish torpedo attack aircraft were lost.

So much so that after Admiral Andrew Cunningham received this battle results report, His face is very ugly

"Your Excellency, Commander, the anti-aircraft firepower of the Caesar Kingdom's naval fleet is more powerful than we expected. As a result, our carrier-based aircraft did not achieve any results. Lieutenant General Bruce Fraser said.

Admiral Andrew Cunningham nodded:"Order the carrier-based aircraft group to stop attacking!" Next, let’s use the cannons of the capital ships to destroy the battleships of Caesar’s Kingdom."

Admiral Andrew Cunningham relied more on the battleship's main gun than on the carrier-based aircraft.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!"Lieutenant General Bruce Fraser nodded. In this era, aircraft carriers are not used as the main offensive weapons by the navies of various countries, but as auxiliary weapons. Battleships are still considered the core force of naval warfare.

Over there, the Caesar Kingdom's naval fleet saw After the Royal Navy's carrier-based aircraft group evacuated, everyone could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Your Excellency, Commander, our losses are not great. However, during the battle, many Royal Navy carrier-based aircraft were shot down."Lieutenant General Giovanni had a smile on his face.

Admiral Paul nodded:"Although we repelled the Royal Navy's carrier-based aircraft group. However, the crisis has not been resolved. The Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet is definitely on its way. This is the biggest test for us. Vice Admiral Giovanni nodded. Indeed, if they want to escape, they must get rid of the Mediterranean Fleet. At five o'clock in the afternoon, there are at least two and a half hours before dark.

Royal Navy Mediterranean The fleet finally intercepted the naval fleet of the Kingdom of Caesar

"Order each ship to launch an attack and kill the capital ship of Caesar Kingdom!"General Andrew Cunningham immediately issued the order

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!"

The Royal Navy Mediterranean Fleet immediately turned into a battle formation.

Six capital ships lined up in a battle line and frantically poured cannonballs at the Caesar Kingdom Navy.

"boom! boom! boom!"

The main guns of the battleships began to roar, and huge shells slammed into the opponent's battleships. The six battleships of the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet, except for the battleship HMS George V, were equipped with two four-seat battleships. In addition to the 14-inch main guns, the other five battleships are equipped with 15-inch main guns.

On the other hand, the four battleships of the Caesar Kingdom Navy are equipped with 320 mm main guns. In terms of main gun caliber, they are undoubtedly smaller. Even if each of the four battleships has ten main guns. However, they are still being crushed during the battle. The six battleships of the Royal Navy Mediterranean Fleet have a total of eight 14-inch main guns and The 38 15-inch main guns are undoubtedly much more powerful than the 4 320mm main guns of the Caesar Kingdom Navy. In addition, there is also a huge gap in the quality of the sailors of the two navies.

This makes the Caesar Kingdom Navy fleet From the very beginning of the war, they have been completely crushed._To read the underlined version of the novel, please download Feilu Novel A
