ps: Today's training will not end until 11 pm, and it will be so late tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so I guess there will be only one update these days. Sorry... I will make up for it next time. ≧≥≧

"We have enemy aircraft carriers around us, but why didn't there be any reconnaissance planes report back?" Major General Lewis waved his fist angrily and ordered all swordfish attack aircraft on the aircraft carrier to take off. Once the enemy fleet is found, he is ready to attack as soon as possible. He felt a vague concern in his heart: the attack of this he-218 was just the beginning, and a large-scale attack like a storm will arrive soon.

Two minutes later, his worries became a reality, and six he-21866s continued to gather together and began to attack the fleet. These were all he-218s, which were responsible for nearby sector search missions. After receiving the notice of the enemy situation of the mothership, they quickly gathered together. Although there was no fighter escort, they still bravely attacked the British fleet.

After being sunk a warship, the fleet woke up from a dream, the air defense firepower immediately became tighter, and the fighter jets also increased their warning range. However, in the eyes of the he-218, such a defense system was far from enough, and the 2o European Swallows were too slow. The six he-218s rely on the tacit understanding developed during normal training and immediately formed two three-air attack formations to aim at the escort aircraft carrier and dived down. From the first day of becoming HNA, they were repeatedly emphasized that unless on special occasions, the first target of any dive bomber is always the enemy aircraft carrier.

During the fierce attack of the German army, the other two 10,000-ton escort aircraft carriers, the Avenger and the Decepticer, each ate a bomb. The former was detonated and the ammunition and fuel warehouses and sank on the spot. Although the latter was barely floating on the sea, like a patient who had been liberated and had not had time to suture, the warehouse was blown into a mess from the deck and the bottom warehouse, completely losing the ability to take off and land the plane. The flight fell to only 9 knots. The two warships had only time to take off 11 swordfishes. The remaining aircraft either sank with the warships or turned into a piece of rag.

The European Swallows finally achieved a result this time, but the other five he-218s still slipped away with their qualities.

It was not until this time that Lewis received a report that the reconnaissance plane had discovered the enemy aircraft carrier fleet. Three minutes later, the report was confirmed by the Sunderland water reconnaissance planes that took off on the Faroe Islands. Although the two aircraft were quickly sunk by German escort battleships, the location of the German fleet clearly told the British that it was about 40 kilometers east of the fleet and about 48 kilometers away from the Faroe Islands. But facing this distance, Lewis could only smile bitterly: it is 4:17 points now, and it will take nearly 2 hours to fly over even if the slow swordfish attack aircraft finds the target. By then, it will be completely dark. Although the swordfish carried out night attacks in the Battle of Taranto, it is the most elite carrier-based aircraft pilot in Britain. Now these pilots on the escort aircraft carriers obviously do not have this level.

But this concern lasted only half a minute and was interrupted by the report from Major Johnson, who was the commander of the attack team in the air, in the telephone.

"Sir, we must attack immediately, this is our only chance today."

"But it will be dark soon. Even if you can arrive, you will not be able to fly back."

"We can't give up, the boys are lined up." He signaled that the swordfish attack aircraft group that was gradually completing the formation in the sky and waved their wings. "The glory of the Royal Navy does not allow us to retreat."

"But……"

"Sir, please! Even if we fall into the sea, we can swim back!"

"Once the attack is completed, fly to the Faroe Islands immediately. It is the closest six bases to the base. I will ask them to turn on all the lights!" Lewis agreed with the brave pilot's request for attack with almost tears in his eyes.

"Sir, don't worry, we will surely sank those two damn aircraft carriers."

At 4 o'clock, all the remaining 2o swordfish attack aircraft of the entire fleet gathered together to advance eastward. Lewis was determined to pull out 1o of the 21 European Swallows guarded by the fleet as an escort aircraft to escort the formation.

But the swordfishes had just flew out less than a minute, and the German ju-98 attack aircraft formation arrived and was almost colliding with the swordfish attack aircraft. Seeing the large scale of the enemy, the b-219s, who served as guards on both sides, broke away from their own formations and attacked fiercely at the other side, and they got together. The b-219s not only had numerical and performance advantages, but also had a higher level of pilots. After a fierce battle, German HNA paid the price of one b-219 being shot down, shot down five European swallows and killed nine swordfishes. Faced with the remaining enemy aircraft, Lieutenant Colonel Hans telegrammed to remind the mothership to pay attention, and then flew towards the fleet without hesitation.

There are 11 European Swallows serving as guards over the fleet. They are no match for 15 B-219s at all. Within 5 minutes, the Germans lost another B-219, but shot down all European Swallows. Now the entire fleet is starting to be completely out of defense.

Although time is tight and the remaining escort aircraft carrier is also very attractive, Lieutenant Colonel Hans, who is commanding the battle, is obviously not overwhelmed by the situation. He looked at the dense escort warships near the enemy aircraft carrier and decided to attack the left wing first. The defense on this side is relatively weak.

The four ju-98s immediately began to descend and dropped torpedoes to the Kenya on the left. Although the latter twisted his flexible body to avoid two of them, they still hit two torpedoes. After two dull explosions, the 10,000-ton cruiser immediately began to enter the water and slowly sank in less than a minute.

After Kenya sinks, the battleship Mississippi, which was originally on the inside, was exposed. The second batch of six ju-98s rushed down to throw torpedoes. Although an O-class destroyer (coincidentally) tried his best to rush to fill the gap, he only blocked one torpedo for the flagship. The brave destroyer was immediately sunk. The Dido (Dido Class Air Defense Cruiser) tried his best to counterattack against the air. Although he shot down a ju-98, he was also thrown by the attack aircraft.

The Mississippi, which could only reach 21 knots of voyages, sank the rest of the three torpedoes, was hit by a torpedo in the bow of the ship, and a large hole of nearly 3 meters was blown into the sea, and more than 15oo tons of sea water rushed in frantically. Although the sailors closed the watertight warehouse in time, the overall hull inevitably tilted by 9 degrees, and the degree also dropped to only 17 knots. (To be continued.) 8
