"It seems that there is a destroyer approaching a capital ship!" At this moment, the Sailfish attack aircraft squadron that had just arrived on the battlefield discovered that a destroyer was approaching the Indian Emperor super fearlessly. Reminiscent of the situation just now, Germany People can already tell that the battleship just sunk should be the British flagship Iron Duke! Because, if it were an ordinary battleship, then after the sinking of the battle, the destroyer would certainly not have to transfer the crew to another battleship.

　　The battle has been so difficult, how can capital ships have the time to receive ordinary personnel under intensive firepower? Therefore, the sailfish group concluded that important personnel must be transported on this destroyer! The battleship Britain that is heading towards is the new flagship of the British Navy! That being the case, who do you not beat? !

　　 A small group of planes tried to attack the destroyer that was moving at high speed on the sea, and the main force was aimed at the Kaiser of India, which was struggling to resist under the gunfire of the battleship Hesse. Obviously, the accompanying destroyer of the Second Battleship Squadron will not let their new flagship be destroyed in this way, so in this naval battle, the German aviation unit encountered the first harder walnut!

　　 1 light cruiser and 3 destroyers are deployed around the Indian Emperor. The dense anti-aircraft shells formed a fire net over the Indian Emperor. This is the time to test the level of German naval aviation!

"The Peregrine Falcon Squadron will first suppress the destroyer to the north of the target, and then the torpedo bomber will enter the attack lane and target the Indian Emperor!" Major Stephen of the Swordfish Squadron ordered. In the previous battle, all the air defense weapons on the British battleships Eighty-nine out of ten of them have been lost, and the ones that are truly capable of air defense are the light cruisers and destroyers that are not on the front lines.

A fighter jet swiftly dived down from the sea, intensive machine gun fire swept across the deck of the British destroyer, and the flying bullets left a large and small perforation on the hull. Red blood and stumps covered the entire deck. . The destroyer can dodge bombs and torpedoes by speed, but the firepower of machine guns like maggots attached to the bones is not enough. It does not mean that 20MM guns and large-caliber machine guns can cause fundamental damage to the destroyer, but for the ship's surface personnel. Absolutely fatal. So much so that after the war a British destroyer soldier once described it like this: "When you face a German fighter on the deck, your life is only a few minutes left!"

The destroyer’s anti-aircraft firepower was quickly dismantled. The real trouble was the light cruiser. The light cruiser Dublin’s performance in this battle can be described as eye-catching, using dozens of 2-pounder and machine guns on board, as well as 12-pounder anti-aircraft artillery. A light cruiser shot down at least 3 torpedo planes and dispelled several attacks. The record is so good that it even makes people wonder if he is on the hook...

　　 But this courageous light cruiser did not survive until the end of the battle. A large-caliber artillery shell that did not know where it came from accurately hit the middle of the hull of this light cruiser! The shells were wrapped in a huge impact and easily tore apart the 4-inch sidestring armor belt, and almost traversed the entire boiler chamber. Although it did not explode, the penetration damage was enough to make the light cruiser salty. Fish out.

After the war, based on the experience of this naval battle, the German Navy believed that it was necessary to design a light cruiser specially designed for air defense. Perhaps air defense destroyers of the same tonnage could obtain more air defense guns, but the stability of the destroyer was originally Inferior to light cruisers, their resistance to attacks is also much lower, and even in the face of machine guns, their firepower will be greatly reduced. Therefore, this naval battle also gave birth to the first generation of German air defense light cruisers in disguise. Of course, this is something to say, not to mention.

　　 After the last anti-aircraft pillar was destroyed, the same messy Indian Emperor on deck also ushered in its end! The situation of the Indian Emperor is similar to that of the Thor. Although the hull has been shot in many places and lost a lot of combat power, it is still a certain distance from the sinking of the battle. And a large number of torpedo planes came up to send this warship for the last leg!

　　 Ten torpedo planes entered the bombing course one after another. In less than 2 minutes, ten torpedoes entered the water one by one, and the white trajectory drawn on the sea was like a death sickle. After the Indian Emperor maneuvered and avoided 4 torpedoes in a row, the exhausted power made it difficult for him to turn at a high speed again. The torpedo that hit the first hit hardly bit the tail of the hull! The violent explosion even unloaded the entire steering gear compartment from the hull! Then came the second, third and fourth! Three of the four torpedoes hit the left string and tore two large openings over ten meters long in the hull! It's like a whale that has been cracked! In a short time, the influx of thousands of tons of sea water made all self-rescue actions of this warship futile.

　　 "Damn, **** German!" On a destroyer not far from the HMS Kaiser, Lieutenant General Duff witnessed the collapse of his second flagship of the squadron under the German torpedo attack. An agonizing pain surged up. This was already the fifth super fearless. He had never imagined that as the world’s most powerful sea power country ~lightnovelpub.net~ as a member of the Royal Navy. Essence, the British super fearless will be so vulnerable when faced with the attack of the German High Seas Fleet, like killing a chicken and a dog! The 10 first-generation Super Intrepids were half dead in less than an hour! How to fight this battle? I'm afraid if we fight for a while, the main remaining battleships of the big fleet will only have single digits, right? A desperate mood instantly drowned Lieutenant General Duff.

　　 "Your Excellency General, what shall we do?" an officer asked in a panic looking at the Indian Emperor, which was sinking into the sea.

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

Just when the main force of the British Grand Fleet was desperate, and even some people who had realized that their death was imminent began their final madness, and prepared to bet on how long their warships could survive, the main force of the German High Seas Fleet suddenly stopped. The attack on the main fleet of the Great Fleet, or at least the Bavarian-class battleship that frightened the British the most, began to turn its muzzle in other directions.

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

　　 "It seems that we still underestimated Thomas, so let's focus on the Thomas fleet first. Keep an eye on the revenge, and other warships can't make waves anymore." Ruprecht said.
