    Early in the morning on May 14, Roslin.  Lieutenant General Wells climbed onto the rocky mountain north of Gibraltar, waiting for today's battle to begin!  During yesterday's battle, Fort B of the Fortress of Gibraltar was destroyed, reducing the firepower of the Fortress of Gibraltar by 20%!  Moreover, in yesterday's battle, only a few battleships of the Chinese Navy were damaged, and none of them were sunk or seriously damaged. This made Roslin.  Lieutenant General Wells was very dissatisfied.  John.  The Mediterranean fleet led by Admiral Jellicoe launched a suicidal attack on the Chinese army, but it had no effect at all. This made Roslin.  Lieutenant General Wells disdains!  He has made up his mind that even if he abandons the Fortress of Gibraltar, he will at least sink one or more Chinese navy battleships!  In this case, he acted under the guidance of the British Lord of the Admiralty John.  There is also an explanation in front of Sir Fisher, and maybe he can take the opportunity to move to a higher position!

    Last night, Roslin.  Lieutenant General Wells told the commanders of each fort that they must show their greatest strength in today's battle!  We must give the entire Indian Ocean Fleet a severe lesson!  Therefore, he also attaches great importance to today's battle!  In his opinion, with the firepower of the Gibraltar Fortress, there should be no big problem in achieving his combat goals!

    Just after 6:30 in the morning, 11 battleships of the Chinese Navy¡¯s Indian Ocean Fleet appeared off the coast of Gibraltar.  The British naval officers and soldiers guarding the Fortress of Gibraltar immediately prepared for battle, waiting for the Chinese Navy's battleship to enter the range of the fortress' guns.  However, what surprised the British naval officers and soldiers this time was that the battleships of the Chinese Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet had been lingering on the sea 12,000 meters away and showed no signs of firing. This made the British naval officers and soldiers very puzzled!

    However, half an hour later, they knew why the Chinese Navy¡¯s battleship did not launch an attack!

    At 7 o'clock in the morning, the sun has risen, and the golden sunlight shines on the sea, creating a sparkling scene.  In the distance, a group of small black dots appeared on the horizon, just like birds flying from a distance!  However, as the distance gets closer, these flying birds become larger and larger!

    "Plane! Chinese plane!" The British Navy in the Gibraltar Fortress discovered the fleet of aircraft flying from the eastern horizon and immediately sounded the alarm!  Many Gibraltar naval officers and soldiers experienced the Battle of Sicily.  It was in that battle that the main ships of the huge Mediterranean Fleet were annihilated, leaving the Mediterranean Fleet in ruins.

    "Damn! Why are the Chinese planes here? Could their planes have been able to fly here from Sicily? This is impossible! No, it's an aircraft carrier. The Chinese aircraft carrier is coming! Order the troops to prepare for air defense!  "Roslin.  Lieutenant General Wells's face changed drastically!  The Chinese navy annihilated the main force of the British and American naval combined fleets in the Battle of the Bahamas. The epoch-making weapon of the aircraft carrier was also exposed. In addition, the fleet had been parked at the former Norfolk naval port of the US Navy, so the aircraft carrier was also regarded by Western countries.  Got it!  And the Fortress of Gibraltar has begun to install various types of anti-aircraft weapons after the naval battle in Sicily!

    "Chief of Staff, our air defense position suffered heavy losses in yesterday's artillery battle. Less than half of the anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns are left!" The air defense commander of the Gibraltar Fortress turned to Roslin with a pale face.  Lieutenant General Wells reported!  The air defense positions of the Fortress of Gibraltar are built on higher ground throughout the fortress.

    Furthermore, these air defense positions are not as solidly protected as forts.  Yesterday's artillery attack by the Chinese Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet not only destroyed a fort in the Fortress of Gibraltar, but also destroyed many air defense positions in the Fortress of Gibraltar.

    "Damn it! No matter how many there are, let the air defense troops enter the position! Prepare to attack the Chinese!" Roslin.  Lieutenant General Wells ordered!  He has personally experienced attacks by Chinese naval aviation.  The bombs falling from the sky can easily penetrate the thick armor of the battleship, and the hit rate is astonishingly high.  The current fortress forts are fixed targets and it must be more difficult to escape the Chinese bombing.  When I think of this, Roslin.  Lieutenant General Wells's face was very ugly.  Originally, he wanted to use the fort to sink one or two warships of the Chinese Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet.  Now it seems that this is not possible at all!

    A few minutes later, the Chinese Navy¡¯s carrier-based aircraft flew over Gibraltar!  A squadron of 12 'Puffins' fighter jets circled down, attracting enemy anti-aircraft fire.

    "Ta-ta-ta! Boom-boom!" Seeing the Chinese Navy fighter planes roaring down, the air defense position of the Gibraltar Fortress immediately opened fire!  All the anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns opened fire, forming a fire net of bullets and shells in the sky!  However, the area of ??Gibraltar Fortress is not small, and a lot of the British air defense positions were destroyed yesterday, which caused a lot of loopholes in their air defense firepower network.?The Chinese navy's fighter planes are like light petrels, shuttling through the fire net. They seem thrilling, but in fact there is no danger.

    "Attention, all aircraft, in small groups, give priority to bombing the fortress's forts!" The captain of the dive bomber brigade of the 3rd Wing of the Chinese Navy's carrier-based aircraft, who was responsible for commanding this operation, issued the attack order!  48 H50 Fish Eagles and dive bombers spread out and rushed towards the 4 forts respectively!

    A small team of H50' Fish Eagle dive bombers flew over Fort A of the Gibraltar Fortress and entered the dive channel at an altitude of more than a thousand meters. The four dive bombers began to dive, and at the same time they made a sharp sound that seemed to be about to kill people.  A whistling sound that makes your eardrums pierce!

    "Jie Jie!" The four HBD 'Fish Eagles' dive bombers dived until they were only more than 400 meters away from Fort A before dropping their bombs!  Four armor-piercing projectiles weighing nearly 600 kilograms hit Fort A.  Under the influence of gravity acceleration, the weight of more than 600 kilograms quickly hit the A turret with huge kinetic energy!  Of the four armor-piercing shells, three landed next to Fort A, and only one hit the top of Fort A.

    "Boom! Boom!" Explosions sounded one after another, and the entire Fort A was completely shrouded in smoke. When the smoke dissipated, three huge craters appeared around Fort A.  The limestone on the top of the fort was also completely blown out of a large crater, which almost touched the top of the reinforced concrete inside the fort A!  At the same time, the huge impact caused by the explosion of the bomb also caused heavy losses to the gunners in Battery A. Many people were shocked to death!

    After a small group of HBD ¡®Fish Eagle¡¯ dive bombers dropped their bombs, the other four then launched an attack.  This time, two armor-piercing shells hit the top of Fort A.  Two armor-piercing projectiles penetrated the protection on the top of Fort A and exploded inside the fort!  I saw that the entire A turret was shattered in the violent explosion.

    The fortress guns in the fort were also blown up, and the entire fort was completely destroyed!

    Several other forts did not escape the bombing of the Chinese Navy's carrier-based aircraft forces. In less than half an hour, four forts were completely blown up!  There were still more than a dozen H50 Fish Eagles, and the dive bombers had not yet dropped their bombs. In the end, they had to drop these bombs on the British air defense positions in Gibraltar.  Using armor-piercing bullets to deal with these anti-aircraft positions feels like killing a chicken with a sledgehammer!

    After the bombing was completed, the Chinese navy's carrier-based aircraft flew away. During this bombing, only one Puffin fighter was shot down. After the pilot made an emergency landing on the sea, he was rescued by the destroyer that arrived.  Destroying four strong forts in Gibraltar at the cost of one plane is undoubtedly a very cost-effective deal!

    ¡®On the battleship Han Ming Emperor, Admiral Li Haitao, commander of the Chinese Navy¡¯s Indian Ocean Fleet, was very satisfied with the performance of the carrier-based aircraft.  Yesterday, the 11 battleships of the Indian Ocean Fleet took an entire afternoon to destroy just one fort. Now carrier-based aircraft were dispatched and destroyed the other four forts in less than half an hour.  The powerful fighting power is really shocking!

    "How are you, Lao Wu? The strength of the carrier-based aircraft force cannot be underestimated!" Admiral Li Haitao asked!

    "Yes! It seems that the era of giant ships and cannons will soon pass! Carrier-based aircraft will be the main force in future naval battles!" Lieutenant General Wu Zhiyuan also sighed!

    "Order all ships to enter Algesira Bay and prepare to bombard the British positions to clear the way for the Marines to land! In addition, contact General Tang of the 8th Marine Division. It will be up to them next.  !" General Li Haitao ordered!  Now that the fort of Gibraltar Fortress has been completely destroyed, Gibraltar Fortress has lost the weapon to threaten the fleet.  In front of the fleet's main guns, the defense of Gibraltar Fortress will be vulnerable!

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Off the coast of Gibraltar, 11 battleships and 1 battlecruiser of the Chinese Navy entered less than six kilometers away from the Gibraltar Fortress and opened fire!  Subsequently, several 'Jianghe' class and heavy cruisers of the fleet also joined in. Those light cruisers and destroyers even entered Algesira Bay directly and bombarded the positions of the British Army and Marine Corps at close range!

    The transport ship transporting the 8th Marine Division of the Chinese Marine Corps also began sailing to Gibraltar. At 8 a.m., the transport ship launched landing craft one after another, and the leading troops of a battalion began to launch a landing on the beach on the east side of Algesira Bay.  Fight!  Several 'Fuqing-class destroyers have moved less than two kilometers away from the shore, bombarding the beach with rapid-fire artillery to provide fire support for the landing troops!
