Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

The remaining aircraft in the second batch were still hovering over the first fleet.

At this time, he saw that the fighter jets on his side had disrupted the air defense deployment of the fleet below, so the group of fighter jets that had been hovering in the sky began to join the battlefield.

The leading fighter plane was seen flying directly to the left, then slammed its nose and began to dive towards the fleet on the sea.

The planes behind also followed suit and began to dive following the lead plane.

Due to the special wing structure, these aircraft made a shrill scream when they dived. It immediately attracted the attention of the sailors below.

The sailors on the fleet only saw another large group of aircraft screaming and then swooping towards them.

The dive angles of those planes have even reached 90 degrees.

This kind of strange aircraft has never been seen by the sailors of John Empire. They wondered why this aircraft had such a weird attack method.

While doing so, he aimed the anti-aircraft weapons in his hands at those aircraft.

However, these sailors would not think that there was something wrong with those planes.

After all, it is possible for one or two planes to malfunction, but now in the sky, hundreds of planes are flying towards them in the same way.

Even thinking about it, they knew that these planes were definitely not malfunctioning, but were using an attack method they had never seen before.

At the same time, the sailors in charge of air defense suddenly discovered that they had no way to aim at these diving aircraft.

Since most of these aircraft adopt large dive angles, from their perspective, only the nose of the aircraft can be seen.

Rather than being able to see the outline of the entire aircraft like other aircraft.

Due to the angle of the aircraft and its extremely high speed, it is very difficult to hit these aircraft.

In addition, after those planes started to dive, the fighter jets that were originally responsible for harassing them became more active.

They kept using the machine guns on the front of the aircraft to shoot at the air defense points on the battleships, making it impossible for them to attack the dive bombers stably.

That's right, the Hans Empire prepared a great gift for the John Empire's First Fleet, and it was this batch of dive bombers.

This kind of dive bomber is exactly the technology that the Hans Empire obtained from Daxia and then made local improvements.

Those dive bombers quickly approached the fleet, and then, less than two hundred meters above the sea level, they suddenly pulled up their noses and began to climb quickly.

But the moment the plane's nose was pulled up, two 200-kilogram aerial bombs were thrown from underneath the plane.

Under the acceleration of gravity, this 200-kilogram-class aerial bomb was like a sharp sword, hitting the warship below.

The bomb seemed to have eyes and accurately hit the rear deck of a destroyer below.

Then the 200-kilogram aerial bomb directly penetrated the top layer of the deck, and then fell into the living area of ​​the destroyer.

With a loud noise, the destroyer broke a big hole in the hull.

What's even more terrible is that destroyers don't have as many layers of internal protection as battleships. Therefore, the aftermath of this aerial bomb directly destroyed the destroyer's power equipment.

A puff of black smoke came out of the destroyer's chimney, and then the destroyer slid forward for a distance and gradually slowed down.

The dive bombers in the sky were like a group of sharks smelling blood, rushing towards the destroyer.

In just a few minutes, the destroyer was hit by three aerial bombs.

Then the 3000-ton large destroyer was broken into two pieces directly from the middle and sank to the bottom of the sea.

Not just this destroyer, but most of the battleships received varying degrees of damage.

Seeing this, Johnson did not dare to stay at all. He immediately ordered the entire fleet to retreat to the mainland of John's empire.

He now understood why the Hans Empire chose to occupy the Kingdom of Denmark and the Three Low Countries even though it knew that its navy did not have the upper hand.

It turns out that the Hans Empire's air force has become so powerful.

At the same time, Johnson also realized a serious problem.

Since the strange fighter planes of the Hans Empire can accurately hit moving warships on the sea, what if it is on land?

It has such a high hit rate against moving targets. It is impossible to deal with targets that cannot move. On the contrary, it is impossible to hit accurately.

Therefore, Johnson felt that he should return to Empire John as soon as possible to tell the country about the current situation and let them prepare early.

Since Johnson was on guard against the Hans Empire's backhand early on, he put some distance between the fleets at the very beginning and took precautions.

As soon as the dive bombers appeared, Johnson was given a huge impact. So he didn't dare to hesitate at all and let the fleet retreat immediately.

It was precisely because he separated the fleet, expanded the air defense area, and allowed the fleet to retreat immediately that the casualties of the First Fleet were minimized.

If he failed to retreat immediately, endless bombings would be waiting for him.

After all, it is only a dozen nautical miles away from the port of Zandvoort.

The Hans Empire's bombers replenish ammunition very quickly and can continuously attack the fleet.

Johnson's retreat was completely unexpected by the Hans Empire. They were worried that there would be an ambush by the Hans Empire's air force ahead.

Therefore, the headquarters just let these planes drive away the fleet of the Hans Empire and then return.

This means that this battle can only be regarded as a tentative battle. It can't be considered a bloody battle.

After all, neither side has gotten angry yet.

But even so, the winner this time still belongs to the Hans Empire.

In this exchange of fire, the Hans Empire dispatched more than 400 aircraft and crashed more than 30 of them, sinking four destroyers of the John Empire and seriously damaging one battleship and five heavy cruisers. The number of injuries was even greater.

It can be said that this time almost all the warships of the First Fleet that attacked the Port of Zandvoor suffered varying degrees of damage. Without a few months, it would be impossible to regain combat effectiveness.

Especially for the Queen Elizabeth, both the No. 8 and No. turrets need an overhaul, and it is estimated that it will take at least months to be in good condition.

On the other hand, the Hans Empire only lost more than thirty aircraft. According to the current production capacity of the Hans Empire, such a small number can be replenished in just a few days.

Therefore, the loss of this aircraft is almost nothing for the Hans Empire.

But the results achieved were indeed exceptionally brilliant. It can be said that it far exceeded the expectations of Hans Empire.

This also indirectly strengthened the Hans Empire's idea of ​​developing an air force.
