The Fury first released a fleet of 15 fighters, 15 bombers, and 15 torpedo planes to attack the opposing side, while at about the same time, the Liaoning of the Huaxia Navy released a fleet of the same size, while the Jiangsu also released a fleet of 5 fighters and 10 torpedo planes. And after the release of the first wave of attacks, the two aircraft carriers of the Huaxia Navy did not rebuild new attack aircraft, but immediately went all out to rebuild fighters!

From Thomas's point of view, he could immediately sense that the situation had slipped into the abyss of defeat! Although he doesn't know much about the Air Force, he can still tell the result from the quantity, the Fury sent 45 planes to attack the opponent, and the other party sent 60 planes to attack the Fury, this wave passed, there were only 15 fighters left on the Fury, and the opponent had 20 fighters escorting the escort alone, that is to say, after this wave of attacks, the Fury would be beaten to the ground and there would be no scum left!

So will the British Air Force be able to break through the air defense of the Chinese people? Thomas is not optimistic, first of all, there are 15 fighters hovering over the Huaxia fleet to cover, and then the two Huaxia aircraft carriers did not rebuild new attack aircraft, but went all out to rebuild fighters, and fighter rearmament is much easier, after all, according to the regulations on the exercise, the aircraft can be loaded with machine gun bullets, filled with fuel and warmed up in the hangar, while hanging bombs and torpedoes must be carried out on the deck, as for the reason? Everyone understands that a bomb exploded on the deck of an aircraft carrier, and most of the energy was put into the air, and if it exploded in a hangar. In addition, because only fighters are released on the aircraft carrier, and the number of fighters released at the same time is much less than the maximum limit. So the positioning of the unit is also a lot more convenient, these are all to consider!

In the more than an hour that the British fleet flew from 220 kilometers away, it was enough for the Huaxia Air Force to complete the rearmament of fighters. At this time, there were still 25 fighters on the Liaoning in the Huaxia fleet, and 21 fighters on the Jiangsu, plus 14 fighters hovering in the air, and the British attack aircraft cried. Well, the British still have the aircraft carrier Eagle, but this sad cargo can only release a maximum of 12 fighters and 12 attack aircraft, and the attack waves will certainly not coincide. The final result was that when the 60 planes of Huaxia Hainan Airlines slaughtered the fleet of the Fury, the planes on the Eagle aircraft carrier were sent to the door again! This is really looking for death.

And as a participant in the exercise. When Cunningham heard a large group of 60 planes rushing up, he knew he was dead, even though he did a remedy and released all 15 fighters. But it doesn't help. A large fleet of 15 plus aircraft to intercept 60 aircraft is simply an impossible task even for 60 aircraft. After successfully fighting out 5 fighters and 6 attack aircraft of the opponent. All 15 of Cunningham's fighters turned into shootdown marks, and then the remaining 34 attack planes launched a brutal onlooker against the British fleet! I have to say that the luck of the British was good, after the surface battleships fought out 4 fighters and 4 attack planes of the opponent at the last moment, the remaining 30 dive bombers and torpedo planes slammed into the Fury, and finally hit the Fury with 4 torpedoes and 5 bombs, and the whole battleship was completely helpless.

Just when the Fury hated the sea, its carrier-based aircraft group also experienced purgatory-like tribulation. When the British cluster reached the top of the Chinese naval fleet, the first thing was that 15 fighters swooped down from a high altitude to the British escort aircraft. Then another 10 fighters dived from a high altitude to the British bomber group, then 10 fighters dived from the middle altitude to attack the British torpedo group, and another 10 planes continued to hover over standby. And then there were 15 fighters left on standby on deck!

After a fight, the fighters of both sides were tied, and each lost 10 planes. The torpedo machine was very sad, its speed was low, the altitude was also low, and it was directly blown up in the face of the attack of 10 fighters, and none of them went back, and the dive bombers were more lucky, and finally 5 dive bombers successfully penetrated the opponent's defenses and then dropped bombs on the heavy cruisers on the periphery, that's right, you read that right, it was the bombing cruiser and not the aircraft carrier! Because there are still 10 planes waiting for you in the sky over the two aircraft carriers, if you continue to rush, you will definitely lose your money! So Lieutenant Colonel Potter decisively chose a relatively easy target. The shaved head of the British fleet during the exercise was finally averted, and it was later considered by the British Navy to be the only correct decision of Mr. Potter in the first battle. 5 bombers hit 2 bombs, as a result of which one shot hit the torpedo tubes of the heavy cruiser!

"How do I remember that none of our cruisers have torpedoes?" After seeing the battle report, the corners of Deng Shichang's mouth twitched, as early as 10 years ago, all the first-line warships of the Huaxia Navy of more than 8,000 tons had removed their torpedoes. And there were no torpedoes on the new cruiser either!

"Friendship first, competition second. Is it just for fun, why make it so embarrassing? Ye Zusi, who was next to him, couldn't help but laugh and whispered. I'll tell you that the torpedo tube was just added 2 minutes ago? ”

"Lao Ye, you're too much, you can change an ammunition depot." Deng Shichang understood it at once, and secretly scolded Ye Zusi in his heart for being too inauthentic.

"Forget it, pay attention next time." Ye Zusi said lightly. "Do you want to have a next time?" Deng Shichang couldn't help pouting and said.

Just after the Huaxia direct guard fighters had just finished slaughtering the German aircraft group sent out on the Fury, the entire Huaxia fleet also began to turn to the north, although at least 30 fighters were hovering in the air at this time, but for the sake of safety, Ye Ming still ordered the fleet to go north to avoid the attack wave of the Eagle. It was not a matter of timidity, but a decision made after some careful study, first of all, at this time the attacking furious fleet had returned, the entire deck had been emptied, and the aircraft carrier had to meet the recovered fleet against the wind. At this time, the self-defense capability of the aircraft carrier is the worst. And the empty deck also means that the aircraft carrier can no longer replenish fighters, although it is not reflected in this exercise, but from a real combat point of view, the aircraft carrier fleet must carry out appropriate evasion, even in the case of superiority. As a result, the two aircraft carriers began to recover the aircraft, and the fierce battle came to an end.

"The Huaxia fleet has gone north to evade, what should we do?" Portall looked at the group of attack planes representing his own side on the sand table and said helplessly. "Retreat, let's withdraw from the warring seas and admit defeat." Cunningham said with a gloomy face, his words full of frustration. But there was no delay in making the decision. "The attack wave has been released, so let's go back? Not quite right? Shall we not try again? Portale said reluctantly.

"The other side will further widen the distance between each other when it goes north, and it is already on the verge of our attack, and even if we can catch up, the other side has at least 20 or more fighters in the air, and maybe we can replenish the fighters, our attack will not work. At least we can keep an aircraft carrier by evacuating for now. As a naval officer, Cunningham knew how precious an aircraft carrier was, and if it did not break through the treaty limits, then the British Navy could only keep about five aircraft carriers at most. When the situation of war is irretrievable, taking the initiative to evacuate becomes the only option.

As a result, the second wave of aircraft that went to attack the Huaxia Navy began to return. And the British fleet headed towards the southern edge. Just as the Huaxia Navy was rearmament and preparing to continue searching for the Eagle to annihilate it, news came from the exercise director that the British fleet had withdrawn from the warring sea area, and the exercise ended early. When the Huaxia Navy won the victory, Ye Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he finally lived up to his mission.

"Thank you very much to the Huaxia Admiralty for arranging this exercise for our side, which let us know another way of thinking about aircraft carrier operations, and our previous views on aircraft carriers were still biased." Thomas's kung fu is still very good, and he has been fighting in officialdom and on the battlefield for more than ten years, even if he is depressed in his heart, he must fulfill the etiquette. What's more, in his opinion, the Chinese Navy's deduction has benefited the British Navy a lot.

Which is more important, face or lining, Thomas will definitely choose the latter. And it doesn't lose much face, after all, this is a secret deduction carried out in secret, not publicly. None of the middle and lower echelons of the Navy will know about this, and since the vast majority of people do not know, the impact of this failure will be greatly reduced.

"If our aircraft carriers were armored deck carriers and we had brought more fighters, I'm afraid the situation would be very different." While Thomas and Deng Shichang and the others were talking politely, Cunningham and Potel had already begun to study the reasons for the failure of the engagement. Portale first elaborated his understanding from the perspective of aviation.

"There are also aircraft carrier formations fighting, and the idea of dismantling the aircraft carriers and then splitting them into joint attacks is nothing more than wishful thinking. Eventually, it will become a refueling tactic, and then it will be defeated one by one when facing the opponent's superior air superiority. Cunningham explained the reasons for the victory of the Chinese Navy from the perspective of the fleet.

Just when the two were chatting, Thomas had already finished talking to Deng Shichang. The two sides agreed to go to Dalian a week later to inspect the construction of China's first fleet aircraft carrier, the Liaoning. Then Thomas, who was pale, took away the British "officers who participated in the war" who had lost the battle. "Go back and learn the lessons of today. This was the first defeat of the British Empire's aircraft carrier fleet, and I hope this is the last defeat! Thomas said with some annoyance.

At the same time, Ye Ming, who won the victory, did not get carried away, and similarly, the Huaxia participating team led by him also had to sum up the lessons and lessons, not to mention that a traverser was not very satisfied with his appearance.
