Chapter 447 The Royal Navy is coming to an end! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)
"Sir, enemy plane!"

A trembling shout suddenly reached George Elliot's ears, but Elliot didn't pay much attention to it, but continued to look down at the report dictated by the pilot of the carrier-based aircraft—his fleet had been sent from Kwajalein Atoll. The Ming fighter planes from China blew up twice, but because there were not many fighter planes taking off from Kwajalein Atoll, there were only twenty or thirty.Among them, there are 12 Xianglong four-engine bombers and Yunlong water reconnaissance planes that can only drop bombs horizontally and are not accurate at all. Therefore, two bombing waves sank two destroyers, and the attack on the D fleet was quite limited.

And this is the third time that the Ming fighter planes have arrived. Although they came a little too soon, and arrived not long after the second bombing, it shouldn't cause too much damage, right?

Just as George Elliot thought of this, a trembling voice rang out again.

"God, there are at least 100 enemy planes on the port side!"

What? 100 enemy planes?
George Elliot was a little confused, and he suspected that something was wrong with his ears!
"God, 100 planes, they're coming to bomb."

There are really 100?
George Elliot hurriedly ran to the left side of the bridge, raised his neck, raised his binoculars and touched the sky, and immediately stood there in a daze as if he had been hit by a hold spell.Looking at the sky with binoculars from where he was standing, he saw hundreds of biplanes flying over
These biplanes are definitely not British, because the current British carrier aircraft are all single-wing "pigeon planes", and they are not equipped with biplanes at all, so these biplanes must belong to Ming Dynasty, but where did they come from?Kwajalein Atoll?impossible!If there are so many planes there, it should have been bombed a long time ago, why wait until now?Why did you go early?
If they didn't fly from Kwajalein, where did they come from?Could it be that there are Ming's aircraft-carrying warships nearby? 100 aircraft, that is at least two aircraft-carrying battleships!
Could it be that the main force of the Ming Pacific Fleet has arrived?

When George Elliot became more and more frightened, the Ming army fighter planes in the sky had already started to attack, but they did not rush towards George Elliot's Black, but split into two paths and rushed towards two standard displacement ships. The 14400-ton powerful class—the standard displacement of the Black class is only 9300 tons, which is 5100 tons smaller than the powerful class. It seems far less valuable than the powerful class, so the more than 90 planes in the air temporarily ignore the Black and Brun The Haim, all went to bomb the two "big aircraft carriers", the Qiangsheng and the Dread.

The first to attack were 24 Ssangyong 2 carrier-based reconnaissance bombers that took off from the Shuzhongwang and Kuizhongwang. This fighter can carry a 250 kg armor-piercing bomb in the two-seat mode, and can Dive-bombing at a maximum angle of 40 degrees, although the accuracy of bombing is not as good as those later bombers that can dive-bomb at a large angle close to 90 degrees, but it is enough to deal with the mighty class that does not have much strong anti-aircraft firepower.

And when the 24 Ssangyong 2 bombers were divided into two columns and began to dive-bomb the Qiangsheng and the Fear, the flight decks of the two aircraft-carrying armored cruisers were in chaos.The fourth attack wave of the Qiangsheng had just returned. Twenty or so "pigeon machines" were huddled together on the angled deck. There are as many as fifty or sixty pieces!In addition, there are some ground crews who pull the hoses that refuel the aircraft to and fro on the deck.

At the same time, there are many "pigeon machines" chasing around in the sky trying to land on the chaotic deck.

Since the Ssangyong aircraft of the Ming army came with the pigeon aircraft of the British army, the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns on the Qiangsheng and the Fear did not respond at first. When they responded and started firing ammunition, the dive bombing was all Already started!

The angled flight deck of the Qiangsheng was hit first, and a 250kg armor-piercing projectile fell from the sky, easily penetrated the wooden flight deck of the Qiangsheng, and exploded in a warehouse below the deck where aircraft parts were piled up.The fire generated by the explosion instantly ignited a hose on the deck used to transport fuel, causing a fire.Then the 100-pound bombs stacked on the deck were exploded—these bombs were picric acid bombs, very sensitive, and they exploded one after another under the vibration of the distance!
The flames and shrapnel from the bombs that were martyred swept across the flight deck, turning it into a real hell, and the pigeon planes parked there were also destroyed one after another, either being blown to pieces or swept over by the fire. Become "burning pigeons"!The worst ones are of course the pilots in the cockpit. They are about to take off and fight again, so they are all wearing seat belts. There is no time to untie them in the rush, and they can only watch themselves being engulfed by the fire.

In just a few minutes, the powerful and fearful were turned into two floating fire coffins by the bombs that suddenly fell from the sky and the bombs that were ignited or exploded by it. Exploded items have not been properly kept!So the fire was completely out of control at the beginning, and the flames ran wildly on the ship, it was impossible to put it out, and it quickly swallowed everything.

However, the disaster of the British Royal Navy has just begun. Just when 24 Dragon fighter jets cleanly blow up two mighty classes, the moment of disaster for the two crown classes came again.Find their 12 Dragon 2 carrier-based fighters. These fighters are also equipped with 100 kg bombs, and they can also conduct dive bombing.Almost at the same time that the Ssangyong machine made its contribution, these flying dragons also swarmed up and began to dive and drop bombs on the two Crown-class ships.

The fate of the two Crown-class ships was almost exactly the same as that of the two Qiangsheng-class ships. The high-explosive and armor-piercing bombs piled on the deck were killed by a 100-kilogram bomb that fell from the sky, and soon ignited the planes and oil pipelines on the deck, and the oil pipelines ignited again. After leaving the oil depot, the fire and explosion swept through the two crown ships one after another, turning them into two burning fireships in a blink of an eye.

The loss of the four aircraft-carrying armored cruisers happened almost instantly. George Elliot, who witnessed all this, had his mouth wide open, his eyes were red, and there was only one thought left - it's over. !The British Empire is over!The Royal Navy is over!
"Enemy plane! It's coming at us."

A crying voice shouted in George Elliot's ear.

George Elliot also saw the fighter planes rushing towards the Blake where he was. But this time it was not bombers or fighter jets with bombs on them, but 12 Brontosaurus torpedo bombers flying across the sea.

"Full left rudder" George Elliot's reaction was quite fast, and he immediately shouted.With a cry from him, the Black began to turn sharply again, turning her bow to face the twelve torpedoes that had just been dropped.And this "Lucky Black" was really a little lucky, and all twelve torpedoes slid by its sides without hitting a single one.

"Life saved." George Elliot, who was so frightened that sweat was all over his face, just took a breath when he heard several dull explosions, which came from the starboard side of the Black.

George Elliot hurriedly turned around to look, and saw that the Blenheim, which was less than 3000 yards away from the Black, had been torpedoed several large holes below the waterline, and was overturning and sinking.
"Five, five aircraft-carrying armored cruisers." George Elliot's voice was trembling, his heart was about to break, his face was gray, and tears were about to fall.

At this most desperate moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Reinforcements! Our reinforcements have arrived!"

George Elliot turned his head and looked east, only to see dozens of smoke columns appearing on the ocean to the east—the main force of the British Royal Navy's Australian fleet has arrived!
