Because of communication problems, the German reconnaissance planes fell into chaos, and they were eager to debug the equipment in the hope of restoring communications as soon as possible, but they ignored the Spitfire and Seagull that had just taken off. The swift-like SeaSpitfire 5 deftly slashed through the air and delivered a fatal blow. THE STAGGERED 20MM SHELLS AND 50 MACHINE GUN BULLETS DREW A DEADLY LINE OF FIRE IN THE AIR, KNOCKING DOWN THE CLUMSY RECONNAISSANCE PLANES ONE AFTER ANOTHER. As more and more fighters took to the air, while driving away the reconnaissance planes, the remaining planes also began to climb to seize positions. Because they knew that the Germans would soon solve the problem of guidance!

At this time, Rudel was flying towards the target with a group of attack planes, and suddenly lost the information of the reconnaissance plane, which made him feel very puzzled, according to the description of the mission briefing before departure, at least 8 or so reconnaissance planes were staring at the opponent to death, even if the opponent's fighters kept driving the reconnaissance planes, it was impossible to shoot down all 8 planes at once! "It must be electronic jamming! Damn, they launched the jamming at a time when we needed the reconnaissance aircraft the most! "At this time, the group is still flying towards the target in the general direction, although the general direction will not be wrong, but after all, there are still more than 40 minutes to the target, which is enough for a high-speed warship to run out for more than 30KM! If you draw a circle with this radius, it will be really difficult to search such a large area with your eyes! In order to be able to find the opponent, the best way is naturally to disperse the search, and this will inevitably lead to the dispersion of the attacking forces.

"Let the fighters go, they are faster, and the main force of the fleet continues to maintain the cruising speed and fly in the established direction. After the fighter finds the target, if the communication is jammed, it will back down, and distance is always one of the most effective ways to counter jamming. Rudel ordered, and then six BF109 fighters left the formation, and they increased their speed to more than 200 knots, which is more than 40% higher than the cruising speed of the fleet. They can quickly reach the target area and start a search.

At this time, it can be described as a race against time, the Germans are looking for the whereabouts of Summer and others, and Summer is trying to release as many planes as possible before the opponent arrives, and there are already nearly 50 fighters in the air at this time. But this was not enough, both aviation warships used all the aircraft, and even the torpedo aircraft were used as interceptors by reducing fuel to improve maneuverability. Although it is impossible to expect them to fight with fighters, it is still possible to fight the opponent's fully loaded attack aircraft.

Depending on the flight performance. Spitfire, Seagull and Torpedo planes are on standby at different altitudes, and Spitfires with pressurized equipment and maneuverable Spitfires are on standby at an altitude of 6,000 meters. Ready to dive and attack the opponent's group at any time, the Seagull planes with heavy weight and slower climb are on standby at an altitude of 4,500 meters, their vertical maneuverability is not good, but their skin is thick and the fire is fierce. The horizontal maneuverability is also acceptable, and when the high-altitude Spitfire pins down the opponent's BF109 fighters, the Seagulls will launch an attack on the opponent's attack group. The innermost layer of defense is made up of torpedo planes that are chasing ducks to the shelves, and their task is to try to stop the enemy from attacking, especially torpedo machines, so their altitude will be relatively low, generally below 3000 meters.

Although the electronic jamming caused some trouble to the German air guidance, and the fighters that took off the plane beat the reconnaissance plane to pieces, after all, there were fish that slipped through the net, and a JU90 improved reconnaissance plane relied on the cover of the clouds to evade the opponent's pursuit. And at the right time, he retreated some distance back. Then he spotted a BF109 fighter, "Hurry up, let's lean over and try it with short-distance communication, this frequency band is used less often, maybe it has not been mastered by the opponent!" The pilot of the reconnaissance plane, Belvie, ordered the pilot in the back seat to make contact immediately while operating the fighter to lean in.

Maybe it's a long way from the source of interference, maybe it's because the frequency band of close communication is not in the hands of the adversary, but anyway, Bellevue still got in touch with the BF109 fighter, and then. The BF109 fighter began to try to liaise with the attack aircraft group in an attempt to steer the target in the right direction!

"Damn, if only this news had come sooner!" Just 20 minutes before receiving the other party's position notification, the impatient Rudel once dispersed the already small number of fighter groups! A total of 12 fighters were sent to reconnoitre, so that the number of fighters was only 28! If the opponent is fully defensive. Then the number of their own fighters will be at the bottom of the peak. "Whatever, anyway, we have enough attack planes, as long as half of them can successfully attack, then we can also send those three capital ships to the bottom of the sea!" Rudel said fiercely!

An hour later, the German fleet finally appeared in the field of view of the outer guard fighters. At this point, the distraction is useless, and the other party can quickly find himself through visual inspection. Persistent interference will also affect some of your own communication bands. So Su Mo ordered the jammer to be turned off. Use radar to guide the swarm to attack. At this time, the radar guidance can only tell the intercepting force the approximate position of the enemy aircraft. In fact, whether you can do a good job depends on the quality of the pilot.

"Let's kill those Spitfires first!" Major Jim and all 16 Spitfires attacked first, their approach at a high altitude, using the cover of the clouds to silently pick up their opponents from above. The Germans did not expect that they would start a robbery from 70 kilometers away. When those Spitfires swooped down from the sky with a huge speed and altitude advantage, the BF109 fighters with drop tanks hung were a little caught off guard! The British major divided the 16 planes into three groups and dived and attacked one after the other, which made it difficult for the Germans to organize their defenses in a short time.

"Immediately rush over, their remaining number of fighters will not exceed a squadron, we have 70 attack aircraft to completely break through the opponent's defenses!" Rudel looked at the BF109 fighters around him, who were busy throwing out the auxiliary fuel tanks to dodge the opponent's attack, and ordered without hesitation. In his view, the other side did not concentrate on attacking the more deadly attack aircraft, but entangled with fighters, which was an obvious mistake! This dispersion of forces inevitably leads to a reduction in defensive forces. In the principles of German naval aviation, attack aircraft were always the first target! But to Rudel's surprise, Summer had already taken advantage of this time to take off enough fighters!

"Our intelligence is wrong! They definitely have more than one aircraft carrier! When he saw the dense seagull planes for kilometers, a German pilot said tremblingly in the channel. In front of them there are at least 30 carrier-based aircraft of the Seagull-type! AS THEY GOT CLOSER, THEY COULD EVEN SEE THE COLD LIGHT OF THE FOUR 20MM CANNONS ON THE WINGS. The Germans don't know how Huaxia did it, but they know that this time it's a kick! The Seagull planes that flew like a wall made the Germans completely desperate!

"Disband the formation, attack on the scale of a squadron, and each crew can discard ammunition as the situation occurs!" At this point, all tactical arrangements have no effect in close combat, facing the opponent's attack. Rudel didn't dare to let the group continue to maintain the box formation. THE BOX FORMATION IS ONLY SUITABLE FOR THOSE HEAVY BOMBERS AND MEDIUM BOMBERS WITH MACHINE GUNS ON THEIR BODIES, AS FOR THE SINGLE-ENGINE AIRCRAFT, IT IS BETTER TO WASH AND SLEEP, A JU90 INCLUDING A REAR-FIRING MACHINE GUN IS ONLY 3 15MM MACHINE GUNS, AND THIS FIREPOWER IS STILL IN A BOX FORMATION? Isn't this looking for death?

The pirates of Huaxia finally showed their combat effectiveness in the first air battle! (Okay.) Although it is an attack aircraft in a fully loaded state of slaughter, it is an air battle, isn't it? Under the combined effect of cheating (light load) and high-performance fuel (100 aviation gasoline), the speed performance of the Seagull carrier-based aircraft is very good, even compared to the Spitfire 5. THE FEROCIOUS FIREPOWER OF THE 4 20MM SISPANO GUNS COMBINED WITH THE LARGE BOMB LOAD IS SIMPLY THE NEMESIS OF A SINGLE-ENGINE AIRCRAFT!

At the moment when the two sides came into contact, the roars of nearly 100 cannons of various kinds instantly resounded throughout the battlefield, and high-explosive shells and incendiary bombs flew out of the barrels alternately. Twisted fiery serpents fly through the air! Attack aircraft carrying 500KG bombs and even 800KG torpedoes clumsily dodge the opponent's attack, but in the eyes of the attackers, this so-called maneuver is simply slower than a snail! Even the dispersed German fleet could not escape the fate of being hunted! A JU90 aircraft carefully controlled the angle of the dive, and just now a comrade-in-arms lost control because the action was too big, exceeding the maximum overload of the aircraft under heavy load, and finally spun and fell into the sea.

And the sacrifice of his comrades did not let him get out of danger, and a Seagull followed from behind, and the opponent was very fast, far exceeding the speed of his own shallow dive. "I was almost stupefied, but soon I noticed a BF109 coming up from behind the Seagull. THIS BROTHER DID A GOOD JOB, HE ENTERED THE ATTACK POSITION FROM 7 O'CLOCK, AND THEN THE MG151 CANNON AND 2 15MM MACHINE GUNS IN THE NOSE BEGAN TO ROAR! The sound of bullets tearing through the skin and hitting the fuselage came from behind! I was on the verge of having fun. That damn big guy in the back is finally going to be finished! ”

"But the end result was beyond my expectations! The Seagull actually approached my plane closer, and only calmly disengaged after smashing half of my wings and tail rudder with a short burst shot, and as he flew over my head, I could see the dense bullet holes in the tail of the plane. And then that BF109 fighter from our side, he did his best. I memorized the characteristics of the plane, and when I returned to the fleet afterwards, I specifically asked the pilot why he didn't knock the damn guy down! I was surprised by the answer, he said that he had used up all his ammunition, but he seemed to be made of steel. I just can't beat it! The testimony of the pilot of the JU90 attack aircraft after the war became the first knowledge of the Allied side about the Seagull – a type of aircraft that would be difficult to shoot down by light fighters.

The Seagull, which was fast, fierce and sturdy enough, showed its might in this battle to slaughter broilers. Even many Chinese pilots killed attack planes with the fragile firepower of BF109 fighters, and explosions were heard in the sky from time to time. The neighing of shells across the air and the sound of shredding metal sent shivers down the shoulders of the Germans. Before the Germans launched the attack ship, most of the attack aircraft squadrons had already been scattered, and the remaining attack aircraft that were lucky enough not to be shot down could only launch scattered attacks!

But even so. The high quality of the German attack aircraft pilots still caused certain losses to Sumer's fleet. The extremely excellent dive performance of the JU90 bomber surprised the anti-aircraft artillery units of the Allied countries that were on the verge of war for the first time! JU90 planes dived at an angle of nearly 80 degrees, and from overhead, they attacked in an almost vertical manner. The two-string anti-aircraft guns of the USS Persia could barely cope with the maximum elevation angle, and the dense firepower of the two-string dozens of anti-aircraft guns formed a funnel-shaped barrage and threw a large amount of ammunition into the air. THE 127MM GAOPING DUAL-PURPOSE GUN AND THE 40MM BOFORS ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUN FORM A TWO-LAYER INTERCEPTION NET NEAR AND FAR TO PREVENT THE OPPONENT FROM APPROACHING.

Four bombers launched the first threatening attack from starboard, two aircraft began to dive from an altitude of about 2,000 meters, while the other two aircraft entered from an altitude of 500 meters to carry out shallow dive bombing. This greatly distracted the Persian's sidestring fire. Four planes flew through the sky with smoke and shrapnel, one of which was hit by a near-miss, and a metal storm of thousands of shrapnel smashed a JU90 attack plane into a sieve. ANOTHER JU90 ATTACK AIRCRAFT WAS TORN TO PIECES BY A 40MM BOFORS GUN AS IT ENTERED THE FINAL 500 METERS, AND FINALLY BOTH PLANES DROPPED BOMBS, BUT NEITHER OF THEM DIRECTLY HIT.

Rumble! With a loud bang, a huge column of water rose from the right side of the battleship, and a high-explosive bomb weighing 500KG exploded near the starboard wheel engine room, and the high-explosive bomb was filled with at least 300KG of high-explosive charge, which was no less than the charge of a torpedo, although it was not a direct hit, but the explosion point was only a dozen meters away from the battleship, and the depth was large, and a large number of high-temperature and high-pressure bubbles pushed countless fragments to hit the underwater defense system of the hull side chord. The outer hull plate and the inner two-layer high elastic steel plate could not resist such a powerful impact at all, and directly formed a huge breach with a length of 5 meters and a width of about 2 meters. In just a few minutes, hundreds of tons of water entered the starboard side of the battleship, and the hull also tilted slightly.

"The situation is very bad, our heavy fuel consumption is too great, the heavy oil tanks in the power compartment are almost empty, and the underwater tank defense is almost useless. The bulkhead of the power compartment also appeared bulging. A moment later, an officer in charge of damage management reported. At this time, the maneuverability of the huge aircraft carrier Persia was drastically reduced, which provided an opportunity for the remaining attack aircraft, and after the air force dispersed several waves of attacks, six more bombers attacked.
