Although just when cruising, the bomber flew to an altitude of 8000 meters, with low resistance, fast speed and saving fuel and time, if you want to bomb, this altitude is not appropriate.

After all, the accuracy of high-altitude bombing cannot be guaranteed. Even in later generations, when the United States bombed island countries, it used the most advanced bombing sight, which was just a carpet bombing on the ground. If it wanted to bomb Tokyo, it would be successful as long as the bomb fell over Tokyo.

Now, of course, bombing warships can't do this. They must hit accurately.

Therefore, they had to bomb with the highest accuracy, so when they approached, the altitude was reduced to 2000 meters.

Normally, at this altitude, the other party's anti-aircraft guns can still reach it, but they just need to drop the bomb in a parabolic way, and then they just need to hover over the target.

At this time, the most nervous is the bomber.

Different from the large junker-290, the junker-88 bomber is not big enough. The cockpit is a small space on it. However, it still has the navigation of the nose and the cockpit of the bomber.

At this time, in the glass cockpit, the bomber nervously stared at the sight, followed the signal light at the tail of the bomb dropped by his side, and played with his right hand carefully on the operating rod.

After many explorations, the bomber force has mastered the operation mode of this remote-controlled bomb, that is, be gentle!

Treat them gently.

If you want to turn, operate a little bit, because there is a delay and because the action of the bomb is slow. If you adjust it faster, you will adjust more. The final result is that there are too many adjustments. The missile flies in the other direction, and then callback, and the more it is adjusted, the more chaotic it becomes.

Only a little bit of adjustment is correct.

Until the bomb accurately hit the deck of the aircraft carrier, the navigation and bomber breathed a sigh of relief: "hit the target, return!"

On the other side's aircraft carrier, there are shipborne fighters, even biplane fighters, which are also a threat to bombers. Now, fortunately, these fighters did not take off.

They take off, mainly torpedo aircraft, and when the bomb is dropped, they want to take off, it's already late!

Moreover, even if they take off, their own side is not afraid, followed by fighter troops!

When the first bomb was dropped on the deck of the aircraft carrier eagle, the whole British fleet immediately blew up its nest. Countless anti-aircraft guns opened fire one after another at this time, shooting aimlessly towards the sky. One by one, anti-aircraft artillery shells formed black smoke in the sky, and even covered the sky.

"Boom!" A British battleship was hit by a bomb. The one ton bomb hit the naval gun. In an instant, the naval gun was destroyed. A few seconds later, a more violent explosion occurred in the ammunition depot under the naval gun.

In the explosion, the British proud battleship could no longer sail. Its exploded part was gurgling into the water. Soon, it sank into the water with a large number of crew.

Standing on their warships and watching the tragedy of the British fleet, the French sailors were a little surprised.

After dawn, the battle began. They were always pressed. 381mm shells flew by in an arc. In the huge explosion, it was like death.

Although the French sailors fought indomitably, they were still the weak side. They were beaten seven meat and eight meat before they even started to act.

And now, first, the German submarine troops came up to make trouble, so that the British fleet urgently turned to anti submarine warfare, gave them valuable time, so that their main engine could operate, and then, the German bombers formed a kill on the British warships!

"Boom!" Another British battleship was hit and its bridge was blown up. In an instant, a large group of senior officers were reaped. The warship was trying its best to put out the fire, but it had no combat effectiveness.

One after another, at this time, the French sailors once again found a terrible phenomenon. German bombers did not dive and bomb, but their bombs seemed to have eyes and could accurately hit the target!

Generally speaking, the accuracy of this level flight projectile will not exceed 5%, but now, except for two bombs that did not hit, almost all the others hit the target accurately, with an accuracy of more than 90%!

German bombs, turn! Many people see it.

In front of the French navy, Germany once again forced the British fleet, which bullied the French navy, into a mess.

How much is a warship? Tens of millions of pounds! And a bomber? Junker-88, just a few hundred thousand marks, almost like a tank!

But now, it can easily destroy warships!

The British fleet is still fighting. They want to maintain the final dignity of their navy.

Countless anti-aircraft guns kept firing in the air, but most of them fired blindly. They had no results. Then, these anti-aircraft guns, together with their warships, turned into the sea.

For the British navy, this day is a turning point. After the destruction of the local fleet, the main force of the British fleet in the colonies no longer exists. All their 30000 ton battleships and their aircraft carriers have disappeared. This day represents the complete withering of the sea power of a huge empire with a never setting sun!

Lieutenant general Somerville witnessed all this. For half an hour after the bombing, his crew had been struggling to rescue the aircraft carrier, but they could not stop it from sinking in the end.

The whole ship body is slowly entering the water. Next to lieutenant general Somerville, an adjutant is constantly shouting, "general, the lifeboat is ready. Follow it, or it's too late!"

No matter which warship, the number of lifeboats is insufficient.

Lieutenant general Somerville shook his head. "No, I won't leave my fleet!"

"General, please leave at once. We still have a chance in the future. We will repay these enemies!" The adjutant guessed his idea and said quickly.

In the future, do you still have a chance? The last fleet of the Empire has failed. How can there be a chance in the future?

And he, the best destination, is to go to another world with the imperial fleet. This is the duty of a naval commander.
