readx;?“ What a beautiful aircraft carrier! This is almost the most beautiful and powerful aircraft carrier I have ever seen, apart from our newly commissioned aircraft carriers! When the bomber piloted by Xu Fei flew over the Catherine aircraft carrier, the slender hull and huge deck left a very deep impression on him, and from the point of view of characteristics, the appearance of the last supercarrier of the Germans was very close to the new aircraft carrier in China, but its deck was narrower, the angle and width of the beveled deck were slightly smaller, and the overall volume was smaller. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 It and its other four brothers supported the backbone of the German Navy, and today, the Chinese fleet is about to break it completely!

An entire squadron of twin-engine attack aircraft launched an attack on the giant battleship! The first wave of six twin-engine bombers entered the attack position at an altitude of 5,500 meters, and when the scope locked the Catherine in the center of the cross, the aircraft's automatic control system took over the aircraft's flight, and then the bombs weighing 1 to 1.8 tons fell off the pylons and flew to the target with a roar, and when the altitude gradually dropped to a certain level, the reflector at the tail of the bomb lit up, guiding the crew to throw the bomb at the target!

After being beaten by the guided bombs of the Chinese fleet in the Battle of Ceylon, Raeder, who was apprehensive, formulated special countermeasures for these guided weapons, in which in order to deal with visual remote-controlled bombs, the Germans adopted the method of using smoke grenades and smoke canisters in large quantities.

Smoke screen masking is an ancient and effective method, don't you see that after the Cold War, all kinds of smoke screen shells are still popular? When the Huaxia fleet flew over the fleet, the Germans knew that what was supposed to come would eventually come! The escort battleships and several seaplanes around the capital ship immediately pulled out thick smoke screens, completely covering the aircraft carrier Kesselring, and with the help of the accompanying battleships, the giant aircraft carrier completely hid its figure! And caught off guard, the first round of attacks by the Huaxia naval aviation was lost, except for the destruction of two destroyers located on the edge of the smoke. There is no more to gain!

"Luckily, we also have radar-guided bombs!" When the first wave of attack planes reluctantly left the battlefield, the second wave of aircraft had already dropped the bombs, and the smoke screen of this era was still too primitive, but it did not have the functions that could counter radar or infrared detection equipment in later generations. Using high-frequency radar, you can still find the aircraft carrier hidden in the smoke screen, the straight-line distance between the two sides is only more than ten kilometers, and the huge size of the Caesar-class aircraft carrier is as dazzling as the full moon in the dark night on the radar screen!

The second wave of aircraft involved in the attack dropped at least 6 Exocet anti-ship missiles and 6 semi-armor-piercing shells of different weights! As the most cutting-edge weapon in the Chinese Navy, the Exocet missile, which uses a rocket engine, has a maximum effective S range of 18 kilometers at an altitude of 5,000 meters! Relying on radar guidance under the nose of the aircraft. It can approach the target at a maximum speed of up to 980 kilometers per hour! Even if you run out of fuel and rely on inertia and diving, the final speed can reach about 800 kilometers per hour! It can almost be said that the limits of the current hard anti-aircraft fire of Germany have been exceeded!

The first two Exocet anti-ship missiles plunged into the sea halfway through, one of them was due to the failure of the missile itself, and the other was destroyed by shrapnel from an anti-aircraft artillery shell by mistake, but it doesn't matter, the most loyal 3 Exocet missiles hit the target hidden in the smoke screen! One of the missiles hit the bridge, cutting off almost half of the bridge, while the other 2 missiles hit the hangar! The shock wave set off after the explosion of the cyclone explosive, which weighed more than 400 kilograms, instantly swept the entire hangar!

The remaining aircraft and personnel in the German aircraft carrier's hangar were torn to shreds by the furious blast wave, and the wings of the hangar were torn to pieces by flying bullets and flames. The fire began to spread in all directions along the pipes and lines, although the sprinkler system was successfully activated. But the spread of the fire was beyond the imagination of the Germans! The entire hangar deck quickly turned into purgatory, and explosions continued to be heard from the inside of the ship, and the violent explosions even tore several huge openings in the flight deck. Two lifts were destroyed. Almost lost the ability to recontain the aircraft! And that's just the beginning!

The two Exocet missiles caused a column of billowing smoke, which was very conspicuous even under the cover of the smoke screen, even if you use visual vision, you can roughly determine the location of this super battleship, although the power of the Exocet missile is huge, it can severely damage the opponent's aviation ability, but it is not enough to completely destroy it! The heavy guided bombs that were dropped one after another were the key to solving the opponent! These heavy armor-piercing projectiles, weighing 1.8 tons, can fully penetrate the horizontal armor of all known warships! This kind of weapon that can't be defended as long as it hits is Huaxia's last killer weapon! It is not the bullfighters who tease the bulls with red cloth and swords in bright clothes who end up killing the bulls in the bullring, but those who ride horses. A knight with a spear! 、

When the 1.8-ton armor-piercing projectile, known as the Giant Killer, accurately hit the Catherine, the queen of the German navy could never return to the Mediterranean! The bomb easily tore through the flight deck armor and the horizontal armor below, hitting the Catherine's engine room directly after piercing 6 decks in a row! The violent explosion not only blew the two working turbines to pieces, but the powerful shock wave even carried a large amount of shrapnel and completely destroyed the entire compartment next door! The compartment, which was originally designed to reduce losses, did not play any role in the face of powerful bombs! The bomb didn't just kill half of the Catherine's engine. By the way, also blew 4 boilers in another compartment to pieces! Just one hit! The aircraft carrier lost 80% of its power!

The aircraft carrier running at a speed of 28 knots began to slow down slowly with flames all over its body, although this battleship was still floating on the sea, and the Germans did not want to give up their most powerful battle situation, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that this battleship was dead! Some destroyers began to brave a hail of bullets to move their crews, while others abandoned the already battered carrier. Go and get closer to other aircraft carriers. And then, one bombshell after another fell on the Catherine! In the end, after holding out on to the sea for another 3 hours, the battleship sank into the rolling waves of the Indian Ocean due to the explosion of the ammunition depot!

"Catherine's finished." An officer said as he looked at the huge ship tilting in the distance with billowing smoke. Raeder on the side was very calm, when he got the news of the attack of the Huaxia Navy, he had already expected the result, the German Navy would definitely pay a heavy price this time, the only difference was how much it could run away!

Shortly after the Catherine was attacked, another Caesar-class aircraft carrier was also besieged by the Huaxia carrier-based aircraft force! The King Albert is also coming to an end! It seems that there is something wrong with the power system of this battleship. His position was a little further back, and the relatively isolated aircraft carrier USS Albert became the most eye-catching target after the Catherine! However, this time the Huaxia attack aircraft that rushed over the target did not carry too many guided bombs, but a large number of torpedoes!

The power of the 1.8-ton bomb is indeed huge, but the carrying capacity is limited. A twin-engine bomber could carry only 1 round with a drop tank and small bombs. More 1-ton bombs are more limited. Although Exocet missiles are good, they are also not very numerous. At the same time, the Navy also believed that it was easier to sink a heavy battleship with torpedoes, so an attack aircraft carrying 2 or even 3 torpedoes became a nightmare for King Albert!

In this typical naval and air offensive and defensive battle, the Skua 3 fighters that escorted the bomber units once again played a huge role. They cleared a passage for the attack aircraft unit with a dense barrage of machine guns and rockets! The anti-aircraft guns of the planes and battleships frantically fought against each other at a distance of several hundred meters, and a dense net of fire spread out around the battleship, while the German anti-aircraft guns tore at least 6 Skua 3 fighters to pieces, hundreds of rockets and thousands of shells and thousands of 12.7mm machine gun bullets also smashed the side chord of the King Albert!

And when the anti-aircraft fire of the Germans was weakened, and even the dead artillery crews did not have time to be replaced, the torpedo planes of the Huaxia Naval Aviation launched lightning strikes from the left and right flanks at the same time! Although it was still a torpedo, this time the sound-guided torpedo used by Huaxia, in the first round of attack, 12 twin-engine bombers dropped as many as 30 torpedoes in two waves! Dense torpedoes rush towards the target like bloodthirsty sharks! Under such a dense attack, the supercarrier, which is more than 300 meters long, simply cannot dodge. In the first round of attacks, the battleship was hit with 4 torpedoes, but because it was attacked from both sides at the same time, 2 were hit on each side of the battleship, and although it caused water ingress, the water ingress on the left and right was almost ...... equal.

Although the torpedo used by the Huaxia Navy this time was equipped with a magnetic fuse, although this fuse was specially designed to attack the bottom of the battleship's weakest defense, the huge displacement and three-layer bottom made the soft underbelly of this giant battleship not so fragile! Four torpedoes blew up huge hollows in the hull, causing thousands of tons of water to enter, but the water ingress was still under control. The battleship was protected by huge heavy oil warehouses at the bottom and sides of the hull and thick TDS armor.

When the first wave of attacks was over, the ship could still maneuver at a high speed of 25 knots, but then, as more and more torpedoes hit. The pace of the battleship has finally slowed down! It was the 5th and 6th torpedoes that decided the fate of the King Albert! These two torpedoes hit the stern almost simultaneously, one of the torpedoes blew both rudders to pieces, and the other destroyed the propeller on the other side! The battleship began to circle on the surface of the sea like a giant beast with a broken backbone, although the hull structure is still okay, but there is only one ending for the battleship that has lost its ability to control!

That is to be completely destroyed by a dense attack! And the King Albert has indeed set a record! This battleship became the aircraft carrier with the most mines in history! A full 18 torpedoes were hit before sinking! Of course, this standard is a little worse than a historical super-battleship that claims to have been hit by 20 torpedoes. But its resistance to blows is also amazing! Even the Chinese Navy, which was the enemy, had to admit that the German man-made warships were indeed strong!

"The aircraft carrier USS King Albert was strong, he fought until the end, and even when the angle of inclination was as high as 35 degrees, it could no longer be balanced by water injection, its side chords still spewed deadly fire, and even at the last moment, the officers and men did not give up on him! When the battleship sank, about 1,000 German naval officers and sailors accompanied the battleship to the bottom of the sea. "After the war, Raeder once said this about this aircraft carrier and its crew, and was called the most tenacious battleship!

For this battleship and the officers and men on it, the pilots of the Chinese Naval Aviation are still very appreciative, but the praise is appreciated, and they cannot show mercy at all when it is time to fight! When the Huaxia Air Force was preparing to attack Raeder's flagship battleship Caesar, the second batch of German reinforcements finally arrived, and at this time, there was not a single Seahawk fighter in the sky, and the first wave of Seahawk planes had all gone back if they had not been shot down or forced to land. And the second wave of Seahawk fighters is on the way! At this juncture, the offensive of the Chinese offensive forces is not over, and the second batch of German ME262 fighters and TA152 fighters have arrived! At this time, the escort force of the Huaxia attack aircraft group was the weakest!

"Let the Caesars go, if you continue to attack Raeder's main fleet, it will cause great damage to the fleet. And it doesn't work out well! "When the wake of the German jet aircraft became more and more obvious, when a large number of German aircraft groups landed on the battlefield again, Rear Admiral Zhang Mingze, who was in charge of the general attack, decisively gave up the attack on the Raeder fleet, although the German ME262 was very lame, even compared with the last generation of propeller aircraft, it could not be fully suppressed, but it was easy to deal with attack aircraft carrying a large amount of ammunition, but fortunately, their jet aircraft were limited in number, and the time in the air was also limited, and they could not cover the entire battlefield, At this time they can only provide protection for one fleet! Obviously, Raeder was saved this time, but the fleet of Count Luckner next to him was encountered!

The remaining Huaxia fighters worked hard to form a defensive network around the attack aircraft, and almost all the remaining attack aircraft concentrated their firepower on the 4 armored aircraft carriers under the command of Count Luknal, and the number of attack aircraft that still had ammunition was not very large, but even so, it was enough to make Count Luknar's fleet lose a layer of skin! More than 40 attack aircraft concentrated on the Count's flagship, the Hindenburg, and the next Sedritz! This time, in the face of an attack that can be called saturation, the two armored aircraft carriers that have experienced too many wars have finally not continued their legend again! Decisively knelt under the dense attack!
