When a huge fleet of nearly 3,000 aircraft descended over the Geely-Gaul United Fleet, the entire sky was filled with aircraft. This first put great pressure on the sailors of the Geely-Gaul United Fleet.
When Somerville saw this scene, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He didn¡¯t expect that we would dispatch thousands of planes to deal with him at one time.
But he is still praying for one thing in his heart, that is, they cannot cause substantial damage to his warships.
¡°Boom~boom~boom~¡±
The anti-aircraft guns on the warship began to fire, and dark clouds flashed in the sky.
There were some unlucky ones who had their planes hit and had to bail out.
But some Stuka dive bombers have already started their attack.
¡°Woo~wu~wu~wu~¡±
Sharp whistling sounds continued to come from mid-air. Somerville looked up and saw more than ten dive bombers diving towards a destroyer below.
For Stuka dive bombers, bombing a target as big as a warship is completely a target for them.
"Boom~"
"Boom~"
"Boom~"
When heavy aerial bombs fell from the belly of the Stuka and landed on the hull of the destroyer, there was a violent explosion.
And the destroyer, which was only more than 2,000 tons, suddenly burst into flames, and the billowing smoke immediately began to rise into the sky.
Somerville¡¯s fists were clenched tightly. Unexpectedly, their first battle with us would be to face an attack by a group of aircraft.
"Boom~"
There was suddenly a shocking explosion in the distance, and the entire sea seemed to start to shake.
Somerville immediately turned his head and saw that a destroyer not far from him had been broken into two sections and was slowly sinking. The sailors on it were constantly moving away from the ship.
In the distance, a torpedo plane was quickly passing by at low altitude. Obviously, the destroyer just now was his masterpiece.
How can a small destroyer withstand an attack from a torpedo of more than 500 mm?
"Damn it! Increase the output and we must not let their planes be so unscrupulous!"
Somerville almost shouted.
The firing of anti-aircraft guns has become more joyful, but there is a saying that the gun shoots the first bird.
These anti-aircraft guns were firing happily there, but this attracted the attention of dive bombers in the sky.
Although Zhou Weiguo said not to sink these battleships, he did not say not to damage them.
More than ten Stuka dive bombers flew over the battleship Prince of Wales, circling continuously above it.
The purpose is very simple, naturally it is to wait for an opportunity to blow up the anti-aircraft guns on his deck.
"These damn bastards! What do they want to do!"
When Somerville saw the planes overhead, his old face turned red.
Then, under the gaze of Somerville and Le Goff, these Stuka dive bombers dived towards the battleship Prince of Wales.
Amidst the loud explosions and explosion flames, several torpedo planes quietly approached the Prince of Wales.
At this time, everyone¡¯s attention was focused on the explosions in the sky and on the battleships. No one noticed that these torpedo planes were quietly approaching them.
By the time they found out, it was already too late.
Several torpedo planes aimed at the opportunity. After releasing the torpedoes, they immediately pulled their noses and passed over the head of the battleship Prince of Wales, leaving them with a tail.
"Torpedo!"
"Torpedo! Avoid! Avoid!"
"Avoid!"
The battleship Prince of Wales was full of cries like this.
Everyone watched the torpedoes with white wave lines in horror.
Somerville¡¯s fists were tightly clenched, and LeGoff¡¯s expression was not good-looking either.
They haven¡¯t reached the Tianhai area yet, but who knows, they were attacked by us halfway.
Somerville stared intently at the battleships that were rapidly approaching the Prince of Wales.
The huge hull of the Prince of Wales is moving slowly to avoid these torpedoes.
"Boom~"
"Boom~"
?Two torpedoes!
The Prince of Wales narrowly avoided three torpedoes, but only two torpedoes could not be avoided and were installed on the hull.
Somerville and Legoff got up from the ground with some difficulty. Looking at everything Zhou Weiguo was doing, Somerville had a trace of resentment in his eyes.
"Give me the order to immediately approach the deep sea and get rid of the aircraft group. All anti-aircraft guns are fired at full strength, and the aircraft taking off from the aircraft carrier cover the evacuation of the fleet!"
It took a long time for Somerville to issue such an order with great difficulty.
Because they had no effective way to deal with this huge enemy aircraft group, the carrier-based aircraft taking off from the two aircraft carriers were frightened from the beginning.
And if he doesn¡¯t retreat, I¡¯m afraid he won¡¯t be able to leave.
Now even the flagship Prince of Wales has suffered trauma, and other destroyers, cruisers and other ships have suffered heavy losses under the attacks of Stuka dive bombers and torpedo planes.
"Boom~"
"Boom~"
"Boom~"
Just when Somerville gave the order to reach each warship and the entire fleet began to slowly turn, a series of explosions suddenly came from next to him.
Somerville and Legoff turned their heads at the same time, and saw that the surrounding destroyers, light cruisers and other ships were suddenly attacked by our fleet of aircraft.
Those pilots seemed to know that the fleet was about to retreat, and they all attacked the ships of the Geely-Gaul Combined Fleet like crazy.
Torpedoes and aerial bombs continued to explode in the fleet.
Legoff¡¯s previous optimism was gone, and there was only deep reluctance in his eyes.
It took them more than ten days to finally reach the East. However, they have not yet had a good fight with our naval warfare department. As a result, they suffered heavy losses.
, The sky began to get dark gradually, and the last fighter plane in the sky also returned.
The Geely-Gaul Combined Fleet finally withdrew from this dangerous area, and as soon as they left, Chen Houfu came with our naval warfare department.
"Quick! Salvage our pilot immediately. Don't worry about those foreign devils. Salvage our pilot first!"
As soon as Chen Houfu arrived at the fighting area, he immediately gave the order.
You must know that it is January and the weather is cold. Although these pilots have taken measures to keep warm before, they still cannot last long in the cold sea water.
These pilots must be fished out as soon as possible. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
