On the Mediterranean Sea, the first batch of carrier-based aircraft took off from the aircraft carriers HMS Eagle and HMS Glory of the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet, and pounced on the main fleet of the Kingdom of Caesar's Navy.

Because there are not many carrier-based aircraft, there are only 36 carrier-based aircraft in the first batch.

Among them, there are 12 Sea Fighter fighters, Great Ou dive bombers and Swordfish torpedo attack aircraft each.

For a huge fleet, such a small amount of power is really not enough.

The second batch of carrier-based aircraft has also taken off, with only 33 aircraft. Fighters, dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft, 11 each.

This is already all the carrier-based aircraft carried on the USS Eagle and USS Glory aircraft carriers.

At the same time, the Royal Air Force also dispatched forty P-39 fighter jets to escort the carrier-based aircraft. Once it encounters the B-109 fighter jets of the Third Reich Air Force, the Royal Navy will be responsible for holding back the Third Reich Air Force and buying time for its own carrier-based aircraft.

If they had not encountered the Third Reich Air Force, they would have suppressed the anti-aircraft firepower of the main fleet of the Kingdom of Caesar's Navy, creating favorable conditions for the carrier-based aircraft to launch an attack.

The main fleet of the Caesar Kingdom Navy is ready for battle.

Four battleships, respectively under the protection of heavy cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers. The entire fleet has entered air defense combat mode.

The officers and soldiers of the Caesar Kingdom Navy knew very well that the upcoming bombing would be their first test. Only by surviving this test can we compete with the main fleet of the Royal Navy in the next battle and truly avenge our past humiliation.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the carrier-based aircraft of the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet will arrive in ten minutes. However, there are more than seventy aircraft in total, and many of them should be Royal Air Force aircraft."Lieutenant General Armando reported.

Admiral Paul nodded:"Order all ships to prepare for air defense. When will the Third Reich Air Force arrive?"

"The first planes of the Third Reich Air Force have already taken off and are expected to arrive in twenty minutes."Reported by Lieutenant General Armando

"Great, it looks like we only have to fend off the enemy for ten minutes. Once the Third Reich Air Force arrives, we will be under much less pressure."Admiral Paul smiled, he seemed very optimistic.

You know, the anti-aircraft firepower of the Veneto-class battleships is very powerful.

The Veneto battleship and the Littorio battleship are both equipped with 12 90mm anti-aircraft guns , 20 twin-mounted 37mm anti-aircraft guns and 24 twin-mounted 20mm anti-aircraft guns. Coupled with countless anti-aircraft machine guns, it is enough to form an airtight air defense fire network. The carrier-based aircraft of the Royal Navy Mediterranean Fleet want to If you want to attack them, you may have to be prepared to pay heavy losses. At

8:18 a.m. on December 17, the carrier-based aircraft group of the Royal Navy’s Mediterranean Fleet discovered the main fleet of the Kingdom of Caesar’s Navy and immediately launched an attack

"boom! boom! boom!"

The large-caliber anti-aircraft guns began to fire violently. The shells were in the air one after another, and shrapnel shot out, leaving behind clouds of black smoke.

Although these large-caliber anti-aircraft guns were powerful, their rate of fire was very slow.

The Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet After the carrier-based aircraft are dispersed, they cannot cause many casualties.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Following this, the 37mm anti-aircraft guns and 20mm anti-aircraft guns also started firing, and the intensive anti-aircraft firepower was displayed.

"Oh, God! How many anti-aircraft guns did these damn Caesars install on their battleships?"

"They probably packed all the places they could with anti-aircraft guns!"

Royal Navy carrier-based aircraft pilots complained one after another.

"Fighters cover, dive bombers and torpedo attack planes prepare to drop bombs! Royal Air Force fighter jets will also cover us!"The commander of the Royal Navy's carrier-based aircraft group ordered

"Yes, sir!"The pilots had no choice but to answer.

Immediately, fighter jets launched attacks one after another, using aircraft machine guns to shoot at the air defense positions on the battleships in an attempt to tear apart the air defense firepower network of the Caesar Kingdom Navy and open a channel for the attack of dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft.

"boom!"

A P-39 fighter jet was hit by an anti-aircraft gun shell on the spot and exploded to pieces.

The pilot didn't even have time to parachute before he hit the sea hard.

More fighter jets began to fire, and dense bullets hit the battleship. Many sailors were killed in the anti-aircraft positions.

But similarly, many fighter planes were hit by anti-aircraft fire and crashed on the spot.

Great Ou dive bombers and Swordfish torpedo attack aircraft also began to look for opportunities to launch attacks.

One after another, the Great Ou dive bombers began to attack, aiming directly at the battleship Veneto and the battleship Littorio. Which of these two battleships is the largest? There is no doubt that they are the most cutting-edge capital ships of the Kingdom of Caesar Navy. ?

However, the powerful anti-aircraft firepower of the battleships Veneto and Littorio soon made the Royal Navy's carrier-based aircraft fleet feel what an airtight anti-aircraft fire network is. The two Great Gull dive bombers have not yet When they had time to start their dive, they were hit by anti-aircraft fire and disintegrated in the air.

There were also two Great Ou dive bombers. Facing the intensive anti-aircraft fire, they had to drop bombs in a hurry. Regardless of whether they could hit the target, they quickly fled after dropping the bombs.

In Under such circumstances, it is naturally very difficult to achieve a hit.

The Swordfish torpedo attack aircraft also approached the sea surface and wanted to release torpedoes.

However, the Swordfish torpedo attack aircraft was too slow and suffered intensive attacks during the process. Anti-aircraft fire strikes.

So much so that one after another Swordfish torpedo attack aircraft were destroyed before they had time to drop bombs.

Even if some Swordfish torpedo attack aircraft dropped torpedoes, the maximum speed of the Veneto-class battleship was as high as 30 knots. At this moment, the two Veneto-class battleships, which had increased their speed to the maximum, were able to avoid these torpedoes with ease. It was not until this time that the Royal Navy's carrier-based aircraft group discovered that it wanted to destroy these two Veneto-class battleships. It was almost impossible.

This forced them to change their attack targets and launch an attack on the battleship Caio Durio and the battleship Giulio Caesar.

But at this moment they had already suffered heavy losses, including no dive bombers or torpedo attack aircraft. How much is left? It is equally impossible to destroy these two battleships.

What's more, the first batch of 24BF-109 fighters of the Third Reich Air Force have arrived on the battlefield and began to attack the aircraft of the Royal Air Force and the Royal Navy, for Caesar The Royal Navy provides air defense cover._To read the underlined version of the novel, please download Feilu Novel A
