It's a single wing aircraft, and the shape of the wing looks like a flying seagull. It's definitely not a carrier aircraft on its own aircraft carrier!

What's that? While admiral Tovey's thoughts were still in meditation, stanger on the side had exclaimed: "Stuka, it's Stuka!"

Colonel stanger is quite clear about all kinds of German planes. Now, with only one look, he can recognize that the plane coming is Stuka!

And, more than one! This plane was just identified after its own plane. There were many planes behind this plane. What came was a fleet!

"Attention, air raid warning!" When identifying the model, stanger certainly knew what it meant. His fleet was patronized by German carrier aircraft.

This kind of aircraft has a limited range and is absolutely impossible to fly from land. Therefore, it must be on an aircraft carrier at sea! I didn't expect the Germans to come so soon.

He guessed it right.

When the German began its humanitarian rescue mission, the aircraft carrier Adolf Hitler led a formation of more than a dozen warships, including two main battleships, on the Atlantic Ocean about 400 nautical miles away from the German. After receiving the news, they immediately turned and came towards the route of the German.

Just after midnight, the British aircraft carrier formation was found. After taking off the carrier aircraft, Adolf Hitler was only 200 nautical miles away from the German.

At this time, the aircraft carrier commander immediately issued the order for the carrier based aircraft to take off. Twenty Stuka carrier based bombers took off in the roar of the engine.

Although the German naval aviation corps was not established for a long time, their training is not backward at all!

They should not only master the flight skills, but also master the take-off and landing essentials on the aircraft carrier. A month before the war, they were already conducting night flight training. Now, half of the pilots on the ship have the ability to take-off and land at night!

So the night battle began.

Although the distance is long, the speed of the Stuka bomber is twice that of the swordfish. Therefore, when the swordfish finished the bombing mission and returned to the field, the Stuka bomber has kept up with the British carrier aircraft!

ASIM, the captain of the second shipborne bomber brigade, took off first. He turned on the navigation light and led his aircraft to form a formation. He navigated completely by instruments and flew to the periphery of the air defense circle of the German during the exchange of fire.

At this time, the battle has come to an end, and the light of the flare can be seen dozens of kilometers away. Taking this opportunity, ASIM calibrated his route and kept up with a single swordfish aircraft in the outer circle.

Obviously, the pilot was so frightened that he didn't find any fighters following him. He flew for dozens of kilometers. At this time, the moon was bright and the stars were dim.

When he saw the American aircraft carrier formation and didn't find his own side, ASIM immediately came up with a bold plan. He simply turned on the navigation light, pretended to be the other party's plane, and even approached the aircraft carrier!

Now, it's the last moment!

ASIM pushed the throttle lever, the engine was fully turned on, and in the sound of the whining propeller, the Stuka bomber entered the dive before the bombing!

With the dive, the speed increased, and the terrible scream echoed in the sky. This is the voice of death!

On the deck, the deck personnel who were hanging bombs were quite frightened. Before the war, they had always been in East Asia. They just heard that no one had encountered this terrible scream!

They forgot what they should do. After the roar, the whole British fleet was defenseless!

The angle of attack display was working normally, and the target was getting bigger and bigger. ASIM could even see the personnel on the deck running around in panic. He pressed the throwing button.

The 500kg bomb fell from the midline of the aircraft belly and flew accurately towards the deck of the aircraft carrier!

At this time, on the aircraft carrier, the anti-aircraft fire rang out thinly. A 20mm anti-aircraft gun opened fire towards the sky. Unfortunately, it was too late!

On the deck, the operators were even more frightened. The bomb came towards them!

Come on, run!

They scattered and ran away. They didn't know where it was safe. Just then, a terrible explosion came from the middle of the deck.

"Boom!"

In the huge explosion, the deck of the competitive God was forcibly torn, and a huge flame burst out. This flame, along the west wind, burned to the parking area in an instant.

There are several swordfish and bombs ready to be loaded!

"Boom, boom!" Explosions, one after another!

When ASIM pulled up, the whole deck of the competitive God aircraft carrier was already full of fire. This fire lit up the whole sea and other ships in the formation.

The following pilots of several Stuka bombers drooled in an instant. Good thing, big goal!

They diverted their attention. The battleship Rodney and three triple turrets immediately attracted all their attention. That thing is more valuable than an aircraft carrier!

Blow it up first! Anyway, the current competitive God is half disabled.

ASIM, who pulled up, also saw the battleship. He said on the radio, "attention, attack the large warship first!"

ASIM is very confident that the bomb he just made will destroy the competitive God. After all, now that the fire is spreading, God can't save the warship!

In history, the battleship Rodney is quite famous, which of course was obtained from the Bismarck.

Rodney took part in the encirclement and annihilation of the German battleship Bismarck. During the battle, a round of Volley paralyzed the "a" and "B" turrets of the Bismarck.

In the follow-up, it became more and more accurate. Even at a distance of 2700 meters, the torpedo launcher on the right side of Rodney launched two torpedoes, one of which hit the Bismarck, becoming the only battleship in the history of naval warfare in the world.

In this battle, Rodney fired a total of 378 406mm shells, of which 40 were hit, and the firing speed was maintained at 1.6 shells / min.

This battle has shown the strong combat effectiveness of Rodney. Now, the tragedy of the aircraft carrier competitive God has won valuable time for Rodney.

As a battleship with a displacement of 35000 tons, Rodney has powerful weapons and equipment. In addition to 406mm naval guns, it also has six secondary mounted 6-inch auxiliary guns with 50 times the diameter, six single mounted 4.7-inch anti-aircraft guns, eight 40mm anti-aircraft guns and two 622mm torpedo tubes.

In World War II, it was equipped with four 4-Gang 40mm boforth anti-aircraft guns. It can be seen that the British know that its air defense capability is not enough.

The Rodney now has only 14 anti-aircraft guns.
