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 USS Bohemia was a convoy led by the Prinz Eugen, whose massive hull had carved an S-shaped track on the sea...... The Prinz Eugen and several destroyers used a dense barrage to intercept the opponent's attack aircraft, and the Prinz Eugen's 230-meter-long hull blocked the left side of the Bohemia, and any fighter who wanted to enter from this direction would be fired at 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 flaming hedgehog, spewing deadly flames in the air! …。

Although the momentum is very large, in the face of this kind of suppression by existing fighters and formation attacks by the opponent's attack aircraft, in the absence of fire control radars, 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 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, Jordi immediately ordered. The crisis has arrived, and 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 followed 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 beaten to the maximum. Under the action of huge inertia, the entire battleship began to tilt. So much so that the people working on the deck were a little unstable, thanks to the ample power and fairly timely response. The three bombs of this wave did little damage, except for a close miss, which flooded a few compartments. The other effects were not significant, after all, it was a 250kg armor-piercing projectile with a limited internal charge ..........

After struggling to dodge the first wave of attacks, Holdie 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. After dodging 4 bombs with great effort, two bombs finally hit the flagship of the Austro-Hungarian Navy, and one bomb penetrated the deck and exploded in the hangar. Although the charge was not very large, dozens of kilograms of high-explosive charges tore several planes parked in the hangar to pieces, and the remaining fuel and oil inside the planes also burned, and billowing smoke began to spread along the gap 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. One boiler was directly destroyed, although the bomb did not explode in the end. However, 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 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 Bohemia's hangar again, the entire front hangar of the battleship was completely ablaze. This is a high-explosive shell...... The charge of nearly 120 kg inside made the operation to extinguish the flames a pipe dream, because the bomb fell directly on the head of the damage management team, and the entire damage management team was reimbursed. 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 badly damaged Bohemia did not avoid the torpedo attack on the right, 3 of the 8 torpedoes hit the poor battleship, one of them hit the stern, blowing all two rudders into pieces along with the wheelhouse, 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.

And the third torpedo, albeit 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 did not directly destroy the oil depot, but the violent vibration and impact still caused a large number of cracks in the oil depot, 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 eventually abandoned due to an uncontainable fire in the entire battleship due to the fire of fuel vapors, and at the same time caused a large number .........of casualties.

If the attack on the USS Bohemia went well, then the attack on the USS Lord Loudon can be described as tangled. It's not that the anti-aircraft fire of the USS Loudon aircraft carrier formation is fierce, but because this aircraft carrier is 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 timing of the entry into the battlefield was also very good, at this time there was almost no fighter protection around the aircraft carrier Laudon...... However, the Austrians were not nervous, because it was difficult to hit a torpedo, and even if it hit, it would not be a big problem, 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 quickly turned. While concentrating anti-aircraft fire on this 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 to pieces by the dense anti-aircraft guns, but the huge explosion made the aircraft fragments extremely lethal, and under the original inertia, most of the wreckage of the aircraft still hit the gap between the hangar and the lower power compartment of the USS Loudoon. The power cabin armor of this 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 opening of dozens of square meters in the side chord of the battleship, and the raging flames began to spread everywhere, although the power cabin relies on the protection of armor and anti-spalling layer to block a large number of fragments, but there are still some fragments that destroy some 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.
