On the battleship HMS Resolution, the flagship of the Royal Navy’s Mediterranean Fleet, Fleet Commander Lieutenant General George and Chief of Staff Rear Admiral Lambert also received telegrams from the aircraft carrier formation.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the two Dunkirk-class battlecruisers of the Third Reich are chasing our two aircraft carriers. Their situation is very dangerous."Reported by Major General Lambert

"What? Those guys in the Third Reich are so cunning, they actually took a detour to attack our aircraft carrier! Lieutenant General George cursed. But in fact, he was relieved in his heart.

He had been worried that the two Dunkirk-class battlecruisers of the Third Reich would suddenly appear on the battlefield, together with the main fleet of the Caesar Kingdom Navy. flank them.

Now, after confirming the locations of the two Dunkirk-class battlecruisers, he finally no longer has to worry about this aspect.

"Commander, what should we do now?"Major General Lamber asked

"It's too late for us to rush over now. Let Major General Edward retreat as much as possible! At least, the aircraft carrier Glory can escape. After we have dealt with these four battleships of the Kingdom of Caesar, we will then deal with the two Dunkirk-class battlecruisers of the Third Reich."Lieutenant General George made a decision quickly.

In Lieutenant General George's view, the aircraft carrier Glorious's maximum speed is as high as thirty knots, and it has a great possibility of escaping the pursuit of the two Dunkirk-class battlecruisers of the Third Reich. Killed.

In this case, the only real loss is the Eagle aircraft carrier.

Give up the rescue aircraft carrier formation, use all combat power to deal with the Caesar Kingdom Navy, and strive to win this duel. At that time, with the Royal Navy Isn't it easy for the Mediterranean Fleet to deal with the two Dunkirk-class battlecruisers of the Third Reich? Even though the Dunkirk-class battlecruisers can be considered cutting-edge battleships that have just entered service. But , in terms of combat effectiveness, I am afraid that it is not even comparable to old battleships such as the Revenge-class battleship and the Queen Elizabeth-class battleship that have been in service for more than 20 years. Of course, Lieutenant General George did not know that the appetite of the Third Reich Navy was not small. , it is not enough to just eat an Eagle aircraft carrier. The Glory aircraft carrier is also their target. And this time it is already doomed. In addition, Lieutenant General

George now looks like he has a chance to win. But in fact , he underestimated the navy of the Kingdom of Caesar. The two Veneto-class battleships alone are not so easy to sink.

If it really doesn't work, the two Veneto-class battleships can completely rely on the force of up to 30 knots. Withdrawing from the battle at high speed. It is simply impossible for the Royal Navy Mediterranean Fleet to catch up.

On the battlefield, the battle between the main fleet of the Caesar Kingdom Navy and the main fleet of the Royal Navy Mediterranean Fleet continues. In order to destroy the other side's warships, Shen, they have tried their best.

On another battlefield, the fleet of the Third Reich was chasing the aircraft carrier formation of the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet.

Whether it was the Eagle aircraft carrier or the aircraft carrier, they could only flee crazily at this moment.

Facing the two Dunkirk-class battlecruisers of the Third Reich, there were not many carrier-based aircraft left, and the aircraft carriers that were already approaching were unable to compete with them. In half an hour, the time changed. However, the distance between the two Dunkirk-class battlecruisers and the Eagle aircraft carrier has been shortened to less than 20 kilometers. Moreover, this distance is still shrinking.

"Fire!"

As the gun commander of the battlecruiser Dunkirk gave an order, the two quadruple-mounted 52 times caliber 330mm main guns on the battleship began to roar.

"boom! boom! boom!"

With a deafening roar, heavy shells roared and smashed into the aircraft carrier Eagle.

The battlecruiser Strasbourg also followed closely and launched an attack. For a time, armor-piercing shells struck fiercely one after another. Smashed into the Eagle aircraft carrier.

The shells exploded in the sea, splashing water columns into the sky.

Even though the Eagle Air Force had a displacement of more than 20,000 tons, it was still under the attack of the two Dunkirk-class battlecruisers. , full of dangers.

The main gun layout of the Dunkirk-class battlecruiser is rather strange. It is located in front of the hull in a piggy-back layout. This allows the two main gun turrets to fire even when the battleship is facing the enemy head-on.

Moreover, Quad-mounted main guns are also very rare.

The Eagle aircraft carrier has already increased its speed to the highest speed at this moment, but even so, compared with the Dunkirk-class battlecruiser, there is still a gap of five knots. This is equivalent to every The distance between the two sides shortened by nine kilometers in an hour.

As the distance continued to shrink, the hit accuracy of the two Dunkirk-class battlecruisers became increasingly higher.

"boom!"

An explosion sounded on the USS Eagle aircraft carrier, and a ball of fire burst out from the aircraft carrier. An armor-piercing bomb hit the flight deck of the USS Eagle aircraft carrier, directly penetrating the flight deck, and then the aircraft below There was an explosion in the warehouse.

The remaining aircraft were destroyed on the spot, and fires were also ignited.

Damage control personnel immediately went to put out the fire, but the Eagle aircraft carrier had an open bow, and when the aircraft carrier was sailing at high speed, the The wind was strong. The fire took advantage of the wind and spread in all directions. It was not easy to extinguish it.

Moreover, under the attack of two Dunkirk-class battlecruisers, shells continued to hit the Eagle aircraft carrier.

This The damage to the USS Eagle aircraft carrier became more and more serious. Despite the best efforts of the damage control personnel, they could not change the fate of the aircraft carrier.

Half an hour later, the distance between the two Dunkirk-class battlecruisers and the USS Eagle aircraft carrier It has gotten closer. At this moment, the Eagle aircraft carrier has been hit by at least a dozen 330mm artillery shells. The huge hull is already full of holes.

Moreover, the two Dunkirk-class battlecruisers The hit rate is getting higher and higher, and almost every salvo can achieve a hit.

Under such circumstances, the USS Eagle aircraft carrier is hopeless. At

10:24 in the morning, the USS Eagle aircraft carrier was severely damaged and had too much water. , sank in the sea.

Then, the two Dunkirk-class battlecruisers accelerated to catch up with the aircraft carrier Glorious, hoping to kill this aircraft carrier as well.

At this time, the two M-class light cruisers of the Third Reich and Four X-class destroyers have begun to attack the Glorious-class aircraft carrier. Escape from this aircraft carrier has become a luxury._Feilu reminds you: three things about reading - collection, recommendation,
