"It seems that a destroyer is moving closer to a main battleship!" At this moment, the Sailfish Attack Plane Squadron, who had just arrived at the battlefield, found a destroyer moving closer to the Indian Emperor, and recalling the situation just now, the Germans could already determine that the battleship that had just sunk should be the British flagship Iron Duke! Because, if it was an ordinary battleship, then after the sunk, the destroyer would definitely not have to transfer to another main battleship.

The battle situation is already so difficult, and the main battleship has no time to receive ordinary personnel under dense firepower. Therefore, the sailfish crew concluded that the destroyer must be transporting important personnel! And the main battleship that was heading towards Britain is the new flagship of the British Navy! Since that's the case, who do you hit if you don't hit?!

A small team of aircraft tried to attack the destroyer moving at high speed on the sea, and the main force was aiming at the Indian Emperor, who was struggling to resist under the artillery fire of the Hessian battleship. It was obvious that the accompanying destroyer of the Second Battleship Detachment would not let their new flagship be destroyed like this. Therefore, in this naval battle, the German aviation troops encountered the first harder walnut!

A light cruiser and three destroyers were deployed around the Indian Emperor. The dense anti-aircraft artillery shells formed a fire net over the Indian Emperor. This was the time to test the level of the German naval aviation!

"The Peregrine Squadron will first suppress the destroyers in the north of the target, and then the torpedo bomber enters the attack channel and the target Emperor of India!" Major Stephen of the Swordfish Squadron ordered that in the battle just now, all the air defense weapons on all the British main ships had been lost. The real air defense capabilities were light cruisers and destroyers that did not go to the front line.

Fighters swiftly dived from the sea, and dense machine gun fire swept across the deck of the British destroyer. Flying bullets left a large and small perforation on the hull, and red blood and residual limbs covered the entire deck. Destroyers can rely on speed to avoid bombs and torpedoes, but they are unable to do anything when facing machine guns like maggots. It is not said that 20mm cannons and large-caliber machine guns can cause fundamental damage to the destroyer, but it is absolutely deadly to the hull. So much so that a British destroyer soldier once described it like this after the war: "When you face German fighters on the deck, your life will be only a few minutes left!"

The destroyer's anti-aircraft firepower was quickly disintegrated. The real trouble was the light cruiser. The Dublin light cruiser's performance in this battle was eye-catching. Using dozens of 2-pound cannons and machine guns on the ship, as well as 12-pound anti-aircraft guns, the light cruiser fired at least 3 torpedo aircraft and dispersed several attacks. The good record even made people wonder if he was cheating...

However, the extremely brave light cruiser, the light cruiser, eventually failed to survive until the end of the battle. A large-caliber shell that flew from somewhere accurately hit the middle of the hull of the light cruiser! The shell easily tore open the side string armor belt of only 4 inches with a huge impact, and almost crossed the entire boiler warehouse. Although it did not explode, this penetration injury was enough to turn the light cruiser into a salted fish.

After the war, based on experience in this naval battle, the German Navy believed that it was very necessary to design a light cruiser specifically for air defense. Perhaps air defense destroyers at the same tonnage can obtain more air defense guns, but the stability of destroyers is not as stable as that of light cruisers, and their resistance to attacks is much worse, and their firepower will be greatly reduced when facing machine gun strafing. Therefore, this naval battle also gave birth to the first generation of German air defense light cruisers. Of course, this is a later story, so I won't mention it for now.

After the final air defense pillar was destroyed, the Indian Emperor, which was also in chaos on the deck, also ushered in its doomsday! The situation of the Indian Emperor is similar to that of the Thor. Although the hull was shot in many places and suffered a great loss of combat power, it was still a certain distance from the sinking of the war. A large number of torpedo planes came to send the warship on its last journey!

Ten torpedoes entered the bombing route one after another. In less than 2 minutes, ten torpedoes entered the water one after another, and the white trajectory drawn on the sea surface was like a scythe of the god of death. After the Indian Emperor maneuvered continuously, the exhausted power made it difficult for him to turn at high speed again. The first torpedo hit the tail of the hull, and the violent explosion even unloaded the entire servo cabin from the hull! Then there was the second, third and fourth! Three of the 4 torpedo hit Zuo Xian, tearing open two large holes more than ten meters long on the hull! Like a whale that was limped open in a short time, the influx of thousands of tons of sea water made all the self-rescue behavior of the warship futile.

"Damn it, damn German!" On a destroyer not far from the Indian Emperor, Lieutenant General Duff witnessed the scene of his second squadron flagship falling apart under the German torpedo attack. A bone-wrenching pain surged up. This was the fifth super fearless. He never thought that as the most powerful maritime power country in the world, as the essence of the Royal Navy, the British super fearless would be so fragile when facing the attack of the German high seas fleet, like killing chickens and slaughtering dogs! The 10 first-generation super fearless ships were already halfway through the war in just one hour! How can I fight this battle? I'm afraid that if I fight for a while, the remaining battleships of the main force of the large fleet will be in single digits? A desperate mood instantly submerged Lieutenant General Duff.

"God General, what should we do?" An officer asked in panic as he looked at the Indian Emperor who was sinking to the bottom of the sea.

"Let's go to Benbao, which is the last battleship in my squadron. Even if I die, I will die on my own warship." Lieutenant General Duff said in grief.

Just when the main force of the British Fleet was in despair, and even some people who had realized that death was about to begin to be in the end were crazy and were about to bet on how long the warship they were in could survive, the main force of the German High Seas Fleet suddenly stopped attacking the main force of the fleet, or, at least, the Bavarian-class battleship that scared the British the most began to turn the muzzle in other directions.

"His Royal Highness, the forward fleet seems to have some problems, and Thomas' actions surprised us." General Schell's eyes showed a rare solemnity.

"It seems that we have underestimated Thomas, so let's focus on the Thomas fleet first. Keep a close eye on the revenge, the other warships can no longer make any waves." Ruprecht said.
