"Immediately send a telegram to the air force and say that we were bombed by the Germans! Hundreds of thousands of times!"

"Order the fleet to disband the formation and use two main battleships as a team to cover each other to avoid strikes!" Major General Lynn explained that compared with those machine guns that temporarily cram, the Major General believed in the British Air Force's camel fighter and DH9 interceptor. The disbanded fleet was to facilitate evasion. After all, at this time, you cannot expect the 6-pound run on friendly ships to cover each other...

"It's the Edward VII class battleship! If the information is correct, it should be the Africa and Ireland!" Just as the British were busy responding to the upcoming air strikes, the German bomber troops had already begun to prepare to allocate attack targets. The two largest battleships in the British battleship squad were first targeted. Unlike other battleships, the Edward VII class's double-mounted 9.2-inch second-level main guns deployed at four corners were too conspicuous. (The second-level main guns of this level of battleship were single-mounted in history) As the most capable existence in the entire British fleet, who would you hit if you don't hit?

The first group of six k4m twin-engine aircraft first launched an attack on the African USS Africa, which was at the head of the team. The bomber carrying 100kg bombs and a large number of machine guns launched an attack from the front position of the British warship. Unlike the side air defense firepower that was like a hedgehog, the forward air defense firepower of the warship was very weak. At this time, the African USS Africa had no air firepower except for a 6-pound cannon and several machine guns located in front of the building!

A series of bullets flew up and down in the air, falling into the water from time to time, and fired water columns. This firepower was not threatening to German bombers. Under the terrified eyes of the British, the k4m twin-engine aircraft quickly approached the opponent at a height of less than 100 meters above the sea. When the two sides gathered less than 400 meters, the three 20mm machine guns on the nose of the k4m and the assumed machine gun on the wings sprayed out dense flames!

At this moment, the firepower of more than one strike on the three k4m twin-engine aircraft, which had more than one strike, completely suppressed the opponent! The bullets shot from crossed in three directions swept across the entire front cabin and deck surface of the warship! The flying bullets easily penetrated the glass and fragile partitions of the front cabin like sowing seeds of death! The busy British officers and soldiers on the deck of the beating barrage were directly beaten into a ball of shaking meat by the powerful bullets. As the plane moved, an oval blasting area moved rapidly on the battleship. They easily smashed the hypothetical anti-aircraft machine gun and bulletproof steel plate into a twisted iron sheet, and then sorted out the British gun position on the left like a sled.

When flying over the Africa, three 100kg bombs mounted under the fuselage roared down. The three planes dropped 9 high-explosive bombs in less than a minute. The charge of each bomb exceeded 50kg! More than 5 times the charge of a 6-inch shell! In just one minute, nearly half a ton of explosives flew to this poor warship!

Boom! A series of water columns rose up on the side of the battleship. The first round of bombs was not very accurate. Except for a bomb falling on the side of the hull, wiping a 6-pound cannon from the deck, leaving a bullet hole that penetrated the two decks, the other two bombs were almost stuck to the ship. If it were a German battleship, there would be no other thing except for some sealed cabins to enter some water. Unfortunately, this time it was a British warship, or a British old-fashioned former dreadnought!

The bombs after the explosion in the water squeezed the sea water frantically, and the sea water also transferred the energy to the British battleship next to it. A huge number of high-temperature and high-pressure bubbles pushed the shrapnel to crash on the fragile hull plate of the British battleship at an extremely high speed. Amid the sound of metal twisting, the energy generated by the bubble explosion tore a gap between the two hull plates. Then, the surging sea water and shrapnel directly formed the thin steel plate behind the sealing compartment into a sieve! Hundreds of tons of sea water poured into the hull.

The other three bombs hitting the warship fell near the chimney in the middle of the hull. You should know that Forbid Wuwei did not have flue armor, let alone use honeycomb steel plates to protect the exhaust port of the chimney! A series of dense explosions came from the middle of the hull. The two chimneys were torn into pieces by flying shrapnel, and more than a dozen exhaust pipes inside the entire flue were also destroyed. Some of the exhaust gas flowed back into the boiler warehouse, and some boilers were instantly shut down due to lack of oxygen. At the same time, the fire caused by the bombing began to spread on the hull. The British tried to extinguish the fire, but the constant explosions and the collapse of the cabin made it difficult for these British soldiers who tried to save the warship to protect themselves. Just as the British were fighting with the fire demons, the German torpedo aircraft arrived!

Four k6 bombers roared and quickly approached the unlucky battleship from the sea. They kept the altitude between 30 and 50 meters and controlled the speed to around 80 kilometers per hour. At this time, the USS Africa had been covered by flames and the hull power was also damaged, so the rest was very simple. Four bombers threw 4 700kg G7 torpedoes at a distance of less than 600 meters. One minute later, with three sounds of explosions, the former Fearless Battleship with a displacement of more than 15,000 tons was blown into two pieces and sank into the sea. Ten minutes later, his ship Ireland was also hit by two torpedoes and stayed on the seabed of the English Channel forever. At this time, before the British combat power came, another British battleship and an armored cruiser were also destroyed under the bomb and torpedo attack of the Luftwaffe.

"The British fighter jets are here." When the sea outside the Port of Calais was a mess, the British fighter jet troops finally arrived at the battlefield. The English Channel was originally very narrow in Calais, and many of the British airports were near the coastline, and there were also planes on duty for 24 hours. So after Major General Lynn's air support, the British's follow-up aircraft fleet arrived quickly.

"It's gone." Looking at the British in front of me, the fighter troops responsible for air cover arrived, and the feeling was that the fist hit the cotton. Not only were the number of aircraft, but the models were also messy. Not only were there advanced camel fighters and DH9 interceptors, but also some old-fashioned aircraft, and even several aircraft seemed to be seaplanes after removing the float... This should have been pieced together by several squadrons. Some aircraft did not seem to have any other functions except for consuming German ammunition.

"Kill them, if we move faster, we might be able to shoot the British troops on the ground with a machine gun later," said a German fighter pilot.
