Dozens of German aircraft once again flew over British fleet's head, which caused British fleet to panic. Many warships, regardless of their formation, tried to escape. Obviously, they were all frightened by the previous performance of the German Navy battleship.

"Start the attack!" As this batch of Carrier-based aircraft and Commander fired attack flares, dozens of Carrier-based aircrafts, safely assigned tasks, launched the attack.

The 'Magnificent' number Battleship and 'Reckless' number Battleship, which had been severely damaged, could not escape. These Carrier-based aircraft also know what it means to beat up a drowned dog.

Eight Torpedo Bomber were divided into two groups and launched attacks on Battleship numbered 'Magnificent' and Battleship numbered 'Reckless'. The two Battleships had been severely damaged before and had too much water, which seriously affected the speed of the warships. When the speed slows down, it will undoubtedly be even more unable to withstand the attack of these Torpedo Bomber.

'Magnificent' No. Battleship, once again received two Torpedo. This made the Torpedo, which had already suffered heavy damage, involuntarily become more injured. The final result was that too much water entered and it sank into the sea.

'Reckless' number Battleship was even more unlucky. Three of the four Torpedo launched by the four Torpedo Bomber hit. Although it was only a light Torpedo, it was still enough to kill the 'Reckless' number Battleship. This ship Battleship sank into the sea even before the 'Magnificent' Battleship.

British Navy's three 'Bellerophon-class' Battleship were all eliminated by German Navy's Carrier-based aircraft. And, this is just the beginning. There are forty Torpedo Bomber, which are continuing to attack the British Navy warship.

After all 'Bellerophon-class' Battleship were sunk, 'St. Vincent-class' Battleship also became the target of attack by these Carrier-based aircraft. Although 'St. Vincent-class' Battleship is an improved version of 'Bellerophon-class' Battleship, many places have been optimized and improved. However, the changes are not major. The standard displacement of 'St. Vincent-class' Battleship has increased to 20,000 tons, which is more than a thousand tons more than 'Bellerophon-class' Battleship. However, in terms of defense, 'St. Vincent-class' Battleship is exactly the same as 'Bellerophon-class' Battleship. In this case, it will naturally make 'St. Vincent-class' Battleship unable to withstand the attacks of these Carrier-based aircraft.

"Damn it, 'Bellerophon-class' Battleship has all been sunk. German aircraft's target has been transferred to 'St. Vincent-class' Battleship. 'St. Vincent-class'Battleship, I'm afraid it can't withstand the attack of Germany people's Carrier-based aircraft," David? Vice Admiral Beatty exclaimed.

John? Admiral Jellicoe's face became darker and darker. By doing this, German Navy clearly wanted to get rid of their Capital Ships step by step. Finally, the remaining Capital Ships will be handed over to their Capital Ships team to solve. After British Navy's strength is weakened to the extreme, it will naturally be impossible to cause any casualties to German Navy.

"Damn Germany people, what a vicious tactic!" John? Admiral Jellicoe couldn't help but curse.

Although John? Admiral Jellicoe guessed German Navy's tactics, he had no way to stop it. Just like Carrier-based aircraft of German Navy and Battleship attacking them from the air, they can only watch German Navy's Carrier-based aircraft show off their power and know that there is no way out.

'HMS St. Vincent' number Battleship, the speed has been increased to the highest level. However, in front of Torpedo, this speed is still not enough. Under the threat of Torpedo, the number 'HMS St. Vincent' Battleship rushed from left to right, like a crazy bull.

However, under the threat of Carrier-based aircraft from German Navy, no matter how much the 'HMS St. Vincent' number Battleship resisted, it could not escape the fate of being sunk.

Four Torpedo Bomber approached the port side of the Battleship 'HMS St. Vincent' and dropped the Torpedo only 800 meters away from the battleship. Four light Torpedo quickly rushed towards the number 'HMS St. Vincent' Battleship. Although the 'HMS St. Vincent' immediately carried out emergency evasion, it was still of no use.

Four Torpedo, two hits. A Torpedo tore a large gash at the waterline. The other one was even more severe, hitting the stern of the ship and directly blowing up the steering gear, causing the 'HMS St. Vincent' No. Battleship to lose the ability to turn and become a living target.

Sure enough, in the subsequent attack, the four Torpedo launched by the four Torpedo Bomber all hit the Battleship 'HMS St. Vincent', directly destroying all the underwater armor on its port side. A large amount of seawater poured crazily into the 'HMS St. Vincent' number Battleship. In just a few minutes, the 'HMS St. Vincent' number Battleship lost its balance because too much water entered on one side and capsized on the sea.

The other two ships among the 'St. Vincent-class' Battleship, the 'HMS Collingwood' number Battleship and the 'HMS Vanguard' number Battleship, were also attacked by German Navy's Carrier-based aircraft's Encirclement Offensive. The weak defense made it impossible for them to withstand Light Aerial Torpedo, which resulted in the two Battleship also not being able to survive.

Among them, the number 'HMS Collingwood', number Battleship, was hit by seven Torpedo before sinking into the sea. 'HMS Vanguard' No. Battleship took five Torpedo hits, but also sank due to too much water.

After sinking all the 'St. Vincent-class' Battleship, German Navy's Carrier-based Aircraft Unit has also invested all the Torpedo. Begin to evacuate. Of course, among the Battleship left by British Navy, German Navy's Carrier-based aircraft's light Torpedo can only threaten the 'HMS Hercules' number Battleship at most. 'HMS Hercules' Battleship belongs to the second ship of 'Colossus-class' Battleship. The first ship 'Colossus' Battleship was severely damaged when German submarines attacked Scapa Flow. It is being repaired and cannot participate in this battle.

The displacement of 'Colossus-class' is only a few hundred tons more than that of 'St. Vincent-class'. Their defenses are also similar. If you are attacked by German Navy's Carrier-based Aircraft Unit, you will still be dead.

German Navy's Carrier-based Aircraft Unit divided the attack into two batches and directly killed three British Navy ships, 'Bellerophon-class' Battleship and three ships 'St. Vincent-class' Battleship. The entire British Navy 5th Battleship Squadron was wiped out. Adding that one 2nd Battleship Squadron was severely damaged and two were sunk, British Navy's Capital Ships force was left with only three Battleship Divisions, for a total of 14 Battleships. What they have to face are 24 Battleships of German Navy and 12 Battlecruisers.
