Most of the warships of the British Navy were equipped with anti-aircraft firepower. In the face of the attack of the German carrier-based aircraft, there is at least a little power to fight back. However, the French and Italian warships were completely unequipped with anti-aircraft firepower. They could only watch as the German carrier-based aircraft attacked.

"Damn the British, they really can't believe it. Why didn't they remind us in advance about equipping us with anti-aircraft weapons? Admiral Lame roared angrily.

Equally angry was Admiral Paul of the Kingdom of Italy Navy.

The generals of the Kingdom of France and Italy were terrified. It was the first time they had seen a fighter attack on a surface fighter, and it was such a strong threat.

In the minds of these people, the battle at sea should be fought with naval guns until one of the warships is sunk. When did naval warfare turn out like this? For the first time, these generals felt that they seemed to be a little outdated. Compared with the most powerful navy in the world, the gap is not only in the strength of the two sides, but also in the concept of operation.

The carrier-based aircraft units of the Germans, which also spotted the capital ships of France and Italy, seemed to have no anti-aircraft weapons. Suddenly, these carrier-based planes immediately pounced on these capital ships like sharks that smelled blood.

After all, it is the same whether it is to sink the capital ships of the British, or to sink the capital ships of the French and Italians. As long as these capital ships are sunk, then the German Navy will be able to occupy a greater advantage in the next capital ship duel.

As a result, almost all the remaining carrier-based aircraft, which also had bombs and torpedoes, rushed to the French and Italian navies.

"Your Excellency, the Germans' planes are focused on attacking the French and Italians." Lieutenant General David Betty looked worried.

"Damn, the battleships of the French and Italians, there are no anti-aircraft weapons at all! Those Germans are really good at picking opponents! Admiral John Jericho was also very helpless. German planes attacked the French Navy and the Italian Navy, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. In this way, the strength of the British Navy will not be weakened too much. However, once the French and Italian navies have suffered heavy losses and are seriously weakened, this will also be very unfavorable for the ensuing battle.

"Let's hope the French and Italians will survive the Germans!" Lieutenant General David Betty said.

"Oh God! The Germans came. Seeing the German carrier-based planes rushing towards their battleships, Admiral Lame and Admiral Paul turned very ugly.

Despite the lack of anti-aircraft fire on French and Italian ships, the German carrier-based pilots attacked according to standard tactics. Fighters attacked first, covering bombers and torpedo attack aircraft.

"Da Da Da!" A fighter swept past the battleship Jean Belt of the French Navy. Aviation machine guns began strafing. Dense bullets swept across the deck of the battleship like a torrential rain.

"Ahh Suddenly, on the battleship Gene Belt, the screams of the sailors resounded one after another. Countless French sailors fell to the ground screaming, and many were torn to pieces by the bullets of the aviation machine guns.

The rest of the people hurriedly hid in the cabin of the battleship. There was a deep fear in everyone's eyes, and they were obviously scared enough.

The fighters were followed by bombers. Four bombers began to dive from a high altitude until they reached an altitude of only 600 meters above the surface of the sea before dropping their bombs.

Four heavy bombs, drawing a parabola, smashed into the battleship Genebaert.

"Avoid! Urgent evasion! The captain of the battleship Gene Belt shouted.

The huge battleship, with a displacement of more than 25,000 tons, rushed left and right, like a wild buffalo.

Two of the four bombs fell into the sea and did not have any effect on the battleship Genebellt. However, the other two bombs successfully hit the target.

A bomb hit the port side of the battleship Genebaert, blowing off a 138mm secondary gun, and detonated a bunch of explosions that set the ship's port side on fire.

Another bomb, which hit the bow of the ship and pierced through the deck armor only 70 mm thick, exploded inside the battleship, causing a raging fire.

Such an injury is nothing at all for a huge battleship. However, this attack method frightened the French sailors on the battleship. It was the first time they had encountered such an enemy. They didn't even have a little other way than to dodge. Under such circumstances, it is easy to imagine how difficult it is to resist the German attack.

"Torpedoes, four torpedoes found on the starboard side!" The sailors on the starboard side roared in horror when they saw the four incoming torpedoes.

It was dropped by four torpedo attack aircraft less than five hundred meters from the battleship Gienbayrt. Four torpedoes, like four sharks, swooped down on the battleship Genebaert.

"Turn, emergency turn!"

The navigator was red-eyed and personally steered the rudder. However, a huge warship with a length of 166 meters and a displacement of more than 25,000 tons will take at least two minutes to complete the turn. This made it impossible for them to escape torpedoes fired by German carrier-based aircraft.

Except for the first miss, the other three torpedoes were hits.

One torpedo hit the bow, the other two hit the amidships.

Although, the waterline armor of the battleship Gene Belt was up to two hundred and seventy millimeters thick. But it still did not withstand the explosion of the warhead of a 450-mm medium torpedo.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

A violent explosion exploded below the starboard waterline of the battleship Genebaert, and with great force, it directly tore through the waterline armor and tore several large openings in the hull.

Sea water began to pour frantically into the battleship through these large openings. The damage management personnel plugged the leak as soon as possible. They all knew very well that if they could not close these loopholes, then the battleship Gene Belter would be finished. It will also be finished, as well as the sailors on these battleships.

Despite their best efforts, their efforts inevitably ended in failure.
