It's daybreak, but the sun hasn't come out yet.

In the sky with a skylight background, a string of cannonballs shoot directly into the sky from the ground.

All of a sudden, thousands of pear trees were in bloom, and the sky above Marseille Port was filled with excitement.

The tracer bullets are a good indicator of the trajectory and the location of the anti-aircraft gun positions.

Whenever an anti-aircraft gun is fired, Ming bombers will swarm like locusts.

Bombs fell one after another with whistles, and the anti-aircraft artillery position immediately turned into a sea of ​​flames.

The attitude of the Ming Dynasty naval aviation towards anti-aircraft artillery is to destroy them as soon as they are discovered.

French soldiers on the anti-aircraft artillery position dropped their anti-aircraft guns and ran away.

When high-explosive bombs are dropped, you don't have to run even if you want to.

The battle had only lasted ten minutes, and the harbor was already filled with thick smoke.

All the ships of the French Mediterranean Fleet were emitting thick smoke.

Every ship was attacked by airborne torpedoes, and the Mediterranean fleet was sinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When everyone's eyes fell on the smoking destroyers, Sun Xiang suddenly spotted a battleship much larger than the destroyers in the sky.

From a visual perspective, the displacement is approximately six to seven thousand tons.

What is this?

Merchant ship?

No! The triple turrets on the front and rear decks show that this is a warship.

Warships, when did the Mediterranean Fleet have such large warships?

Sun Xiang wanted to attack, but there were no torpedoes left.

He pulled the control stick sharply and found two attack aircraft with torpedoes mounted before they had a chance to attack.

The wings of the plane kept shaking from side to side, and the machine gun on the dive plane continued to fire.

Tracer bullets pointed at the target!

Fortunately, the two pilots quickly understood Sun Xiang's intention.

They also quickly discovered this giant ship that had just arrived at the departure channel!

A battleship of seven to eight thousand tons is already considered a giant ship for the French.

The two torpedo attack aircraft dived quickly and dropped torpedoes one after another.

If the ship is sunk at this location, it will block the waterway of Marseille Port for several months.

Sun Xiang watched as the first torpedo was thrown into the sea. In the blue water, an obvious line of water rushed towards the battleship.

Sun Xiang in the sky watched helplessly as he reached the waterline and passed by the bow of the French warship.

"Damn it!" Sun Xiang cursed fiercely.

The noise was so loud that even he couldn't hear the words he cursed.

Just when Sun Xiang was annoyed, a huge flame suddenly broke out from the back deck of the battleship in the sea.

"Well done!" Sun Xiang waved his hand excitedly.

That place was the battleship's steering gear and engine. The rear cabin was blown up, and the ship lost power.

Torpedoes are a bit slow, and hitting fixed targets and hitting moving targets are completely different things.

Attacking such a sailing warship relies on technology and luck.

You know, if a torpedo attack aircraft wants to drop torpedoes, it needs to fly levelly against the sea surface for a period of time.

At this time, the side fire from the naval gun can easily destroy the aircraft.

It was absolutely unlucky that these two planes were hit by the dense artillery fire from the side of the warship.

The target of the burning battleship became immediately obvious, and the Ming army's torpedo attack aircraft seemed to be sharks that smelled the smell of blood.

More than eight torpedo attack aircraft swarmed in and attacked the French warships frantically.

Later, even bombers flew over.

Explosions occurred one after another around the warship, and water columns rose into the sky one after another.

After being besieged by the aircraft fleet for six minutes, the French warship was hit by two torpedoes at the same time.

Broken steel fragments flew more than a hundred meters high, and the battleship was torpedoed and torn apart in the middle.

The second half sank quickly, and the front half floated strangely on the sea.

Looking at the Marseille Port with smoke everywhere, Paul stood behind the observation hole of the bunker and was about to cry.

Only fourteen minutes have passed since the first explosion.

Within fourteen minutes, the French Mediterranean Fleet docked in Marseille Port suffered a devastating blow.

What saddened Paul the most was that the French cruiser San Diego, which had just been built at the Marseille Shipyard and had been in service for only half a month, was also sunk on the waterway by the Ming Navy's naval aviation.

With such a huge warship sinking in the waterway, no more big ships can enter the Port of Marseille.

Ming army planes came and went like the wind, leaving only the port of Marseille, which was filled with smoke.

All aircraft carriers are collecting the aircraft that have been released!

"Second Master!

All the planes that were released were recovered, and only one suffered minor damage."

Chen Laohu reported to Li Xiu with a smile.

"This time there were no planes taking pictures directly on the aircraft carrier deck?"

Li Xiu looked at the aircraft carrier in the distance and asked angrily.

Chen Laohu blushed a little. The last time a plane shot on the deck, the command of the aircraft carrier bore a great responsibility.

The captain of that aircraft carrier... was a descendant of the Chen family.

"No...! No."

Chen Laohu was embarrassed all the time.

"In the future, we don't want everyone to be assigned to warships. They must have the ability to take care of their own children and nephews.

Li Lin wants to be the captain of the ship, but I don’t even agree.”

"promise!"

Chen Laohu is helpless!

Daming belongs to your family, it's not up to you to do whatever you want to do?

Chen Laohu didn't believe that the prince had joined the ship as captain.

The prince, who has not had much contact with the navy since he was a child, will not be interested in the navy for no reason.

He will not be rash and ask to be the captain when he comes up.

When Li Xiu said this, he was more trying to beat himself up.

"How was the explosion in Marseille Port?" Li Xiu didn't want to embarrass his old subordinates too much, so he began to ask about the effect of the attack.

"The French Mediterranean fleet is finished, but according to the intelligence beforehand, there should be seven destroyers anchored in the port.

Unexpectedly, a cruiser appeared in the middle.

Our boys did a great job, blowing up and sinking the cruiser that was trying to escape in the waterway of Marseille Port."

"What the hell? Did it explode and sink on the waterway?" Li Xiu shouted in surprise.

"Yes...! It was bombed and sank on the waterway." Chen Laohu was a little confused. It should be a good thing that the warship was bombed and sunk. Why is the second master looking like this?

"Such a big ship sank in the harbor, do you think the French still have enough power to fish it out?

The channel is blocked. They can't get out and we can't get in.

But they couldn't get out in the first place. The problem is that we have to go in.

Now the Mediterranean fleet has been killed, and they don't even have any ships left.

This sunken ship can be used as a barrier to keep us out of Marseille Port."

Li Xiu took a sip of tea helplessly. When attacking Marseille in the future, this sunken ship should be the biggest obstacle.

"Uh...!" Chen Laohu was speechless.

He didn't expect that the bombing and sinking of the enemy warship would go wrong.

"Forget it, we can't blame the boys harshly. It's always good to be able to sink enemy warships, and those who deserve rewards should still be rewarded.

The French Mediterranean fleet was finished, and the port of Marseille was blocked.

Then let’s go to Toulouse!”
