As the British fleet reached the skies over the German ships, fighters and rocket-mounted planes began to attack the cruisers and destroyers.

They also use 12.7mm machine guns and rockets, although these are of little use against the ship's armor plates. However, at this time, no matter which country's warships, the gun positions did not pay much attention to air defense, so these attacks caused a lot of damage to the crews and gunners on these small (light) warships who did not have much protection.

Over time, the British side approached these light warships with torpedo-mounted Benmine-type attack aircraft. Due to the machine-gun strafing and rocket suppression of the front cover group, the intensity of the anti-aircraft fire of these ships was greatly reduced. And due to the relatively low altitude of the Torpedo-mounted Pentmine attack aircraft, anti-aircraft fire on warships also became less easy to aim.

Finally, they reached the optimal range of the torpedo, and white wakes appeared on the sea.

Judging from the torpedo tracks, there are not many torpedoes dropped by these sea-skimming "Benmine-type attack aircraft", and more torpedoes, of course, are reserved to "take care" of those main battleships in the inner circle.

The Germans were never stupid, and in the last Battle of Jutland, they relied on air power to win. Therefore, for the defense of air attacks, they have conducted detailed research and have achieved some results.

When the attack aircraft group of the British naval aviation broke into the inner defense circle of the German Ocean Fleet at the cost of about 20 aircraft, a number of tall, majestic and proud capital warships began to move out of the "Z" shaped mine protection route.

About them once went through drills, and the whole formation was neat and undisturbed.

Some fast-moving torpedo boats, while blocking the path of the group of mine-attacking planes that were clumsy due to the torpedoes mounted, attacked the group with the "projectile and artillery integration" system they were equipped with.

At the same time, a large amount of white smoke was emitted from their tails, which not only obscured the tall bodies of the capital battleships, but also obstructed the vision of the pilots of the Benlei attack planes flying over the sea.

"Hey, these little guys' defenses are pretty good! ...... in the future"

Although the use of smoke to conceal one's own warships has been around for a long time, it is more effective to use them at this time, especially when using these fast torpedo boats.

But Tang Yunyang didn't think of them, because according to Tang Yunyang, there should be a faster boat that was more suitable for this kind of operation, what was it?

While his brain was spinning rapidly, the battle below had entered a state of white heat.

The plane flew low across the sea with its smoke-filled wings and plunged headlong into the sea, making a large white spray. Smoke and fire also erupted from the battleship that had been hit, and on the side of the giant ship were groups of German sailors who had jumped into the sea, and some lifeboats and torpedo boats had already approached them.

Soon after, as the British assault group ran out of ammunition, the British group began to climb higher, preparing to return to their mothership to refuel and hang the bombs, when Tang Yunyang heard the Marian witch whispering to the side.

“1、2、3…… 101…… Sir, they lost 39 planes, but they had a good record. They sank and damaged 6 destroyers and 3 cruisers, and they also sank a battlecruiser of the German avant-garde fleet. ”

Although the German side suffered some small losses for the time being, the German side had about the previous experience in using air power, so they were far away from the British fleet.

Up to 100 "Mosquito water attacks" formed a circle-shaped anti-aircraft formation, relying on each other's machine-guns firing backwards to cover their tails.

At the same time, those that have long been equipped on cruisers and warships of greater tonnage, have the "sea . Reconnoiter. Fighter" aircraft likewise took off. They will carry out there is, but rather weak, air cover for the "Mosquito water attack aircraft".

The target that the German torpedo planes pounced on was aimed directly at the British "improvised aircraft carrier". However, for them, these British naval aviation, which was on high alert, was not easy to deal with.

Observers on the school-fired balloons raised above the British naval fleet spotted the German aircraft group approaching at a low altitude and issued an early warning signal at the right time. The "Sea Tomcat Heavy Air Dominance Fighter", which had been on alert, swooped down from a high altitude.

They were greeted by the "sea . . . Reconnoiter. Combat "aircraft, it is obvious that such aircraft, are not at all an opponent of the "sea Tomcats" of the British air patrols. In just one round, there were as many as 8 of this "sea . Reconnoiter. Combat "dual-purpose aircraft, whirling to the surface of the sea planted.

The "mosquito water attack" lined up in a circle of anti-aircraft formations is, of course, no match for the "sea tomcat". But those brave "at sea. Reconnoiter. fight" to buy them time.

The "Mosquito water attack planes" arrived at the mine-dropping position relatively smoothly, and only five of them were planted in the sea under the attack of the "sea tomcat." There was also a "Sea Tomcat" that became a victim of the "Mosquito water attack aircraft", the rear machine-gun shooter.

After swooping and throwing thunder, the "Sea Tomcat" pulled up the fuselage again and climbed into the air, but at this moment, more anomalies appeared in the sky. In the sky, a considerable number of twin-engine planes similar in size to the "Mosquito water attack aircraft" appeared in the sky. Moreover, there were no pontoons under their fuselages, so it can be concluded that these German planes came from distant land.

Seeing these planes, Tang Yunyang sighed softly.

"These Germans are not stupid, they know how to use Mosquito attack aircraft to convert into fighters! However, such an aircraft is no match for those 'sea tomcats'. ”

You may think of the "Yan passenger planes" that are flying around in China now, which were born from the "Benlei attack aircraft". In addition to the long range of up to 1,000 km, it is capable of carrying five people, including the driver. Then it is entirely possible for this fighter specially modified for long-range flight to fly to a long range of 1200~1500 km.

However, just as Tang Yunyang said, such a long-range fighter cannot be compared with the fighting ability of the "Sea Tomcat". But this time the Germans took the lead in a surprise attack, and when the "Sea Tomcats" used by the British were concerned about the battle with the German "Mosquito water attack aircraft" in front of them, they suddenly appeared in front of them, causing the British to suffer some losses.

In the sudden attack, the British "Sea Tomcat" was caught off guard, and 15 of them immediately fell to the sea. But when the British came to their senses, using the speed and combat maneuverability of the Sea Tomcat, the Germans finally understood what a ridiculous product their long-range fighter was.

Although for combat, such aircraft were made considerable modifications. The shortened wings also got more powerful engines, making them faster and more fuel-loaded.

However, when it comes to close-quarters combat, their oversized body hinders their fighting abilities. The strong power of the twin engines makes them more suitable for the kind of hit-and-run attack aircraft.

So it wasn't long before the situation in the air was reversed, and the advantage was once again on the side of the British.

The "Sea Tomcat" chased behind these long-range fighters at no less impressive speed. Although long-range fighters also have rear-firing machine guns, their firepower pales in comparison with the Sea Tomcat's two 12.7mm machine guns.

The Germans have always been known for their punctuality and cooperation in all the wars of the world. So although they are slightly inferior in the effectiveness of their weapons, the seamless cooperation between them makes them very good.

When the "Sea Tomcat," which was in charge of the air alert mission, was entangled by those long-range fighters, the follow-up "Mosquito water attack planes" safely arrived at the best position for mine dropping. It was at this time that the German "wolf pack" at the bottom of the sea, which had been lying in ambush, also stretched out its claws from the sea.

If it weren't for the following situation, then Tang Yunyang must have guessed the result of this naval battle wrong.

The "improvised aircraft carrier", which has a small payload and a fairly fast speed, is very easy to escape. Moreover, due to their special floating tank structure, they are much more advantageous than ordinary warships when dealing with such dense "torpedo arrays".

Whether it is a "mosquito water attack attack" or a submarine launched by a German submarine, it is somewhat helpless to deal with this kind of two-pointed torpedo float tank, which is somewhat helpless to pass through the blank space between its two "torpedo cabins." Or they could glide along the sleek curves of the "torpedo bays" without triggering them to explode.

(The first release of this book) does not laugh at group A: 35761481; Email: [email protected]

As mentioned earlier, the underwater floating tank of this simple aircraft carrier will have an independent sealed cabin made of steel plates reinforced with stiffeners every one meter. So even if you hit a torpedo, you will only blow up a few compartments.

The loss of these microwaves will hardly pose any substantial harm to the navigation of the "improvised aircraft carrier".

In addition, there are only as many as 20 aircraft carriers of this kind of "improvised aircraft carrier", and most of them are still in the air. Even if one of them is sunk, the plane can fly to other "improvised aircraft carriers" and land.

In other words, this kind of aircraft carrier is too cheap, sink it, sink it. Small losses could not have done any substantial damage to the British home fleet.

Therefore, the attack on the "improvised aircraft carrier" by 100 "mosquito water attack planes" and torpedoes launched by underwater wolves almost completely failed. First, these things are not easy to fight, and they are not worth fighting. Due to the sheer number, the loss of one or two British home fleets simply did not care.

Therefore, such a factor, which the German Navy did not anticipate at all, made the effect of their seamless attack tactics not at all brought into play.

The British naval aviation, which had gained the upper hand, not only quickly drove away those so-called long-range fighters. At the same time, it also dispatched "Ben Mine attack planes" equipped with torpedoes and depth charges to hunt down wolves and "mosquito water attack planes" in the sea.

Soon the commander of the German Ocean Fleet realized that such a naval battle could not be fought any longer. When the British understood that attacking those tanker-converted aircraft carriers would be the end of the German Ocean Fleet.

So soon after, the German fleet began to retreat.

On the "Eagle" airship on the edge of the battlefield, Tang Yunyang witnessed the whole process of this "Second Battle of Jutland". The "improvised aircraft carriers", as well as those "torpedo boats" that were tasked with air defense, had already given him new ideas.

So what could it be?
