Chapter 1,489 Air Raid 1
Chapter 1489 Air Raid 1
The fighter groups of both sides were fighting non-stop in the air. The pilots used their own achievements to engage in elegant battles in the air. Countless fire snakes crisscrossed in the air. From time to time, an unlucky aircraft was bitten or even torn apart directly. into pieces. The British's aviation technology is not bad, and the pilots are definitely battle-hardened. Well, to a certain extent, the air battle between the two sides has become an exchange, and the battlefield situation can be analyzed using mathematical models. , so far, the battle loss ratio between the two sides is almost 1 to 1.5. The Bavarian Air Force has exchanged 1 fighter jet for 1.3 of the other side... And as more and more Bavaria Air Force enter the battlefield, this exchange ratio will be further tilted!
"It's finally here!" Through the gap in the smoke screen, Sir Fisher could clearly feel that the number of Allied fighter jets in the air was declining. The number of bombers of the Luftwaffe was also increasing. The smoke screen continued to disperse under the blowing of the sea breeze. When the visibility reached a certain level, it was the time for the German Air Force to launch an air attack! But the only good thing is that the German fleet does not seem to be adding insult to injury!
"I saw a battleship! That's right! It should be a dreadnought! It's right on the side! It's walking along the coastline, Damn, this guy uses gray paint and smoke screens, and it just blends in with the cliffs on the coast. In one piece, if I hadn't been sharp-eyed, this guy would have run away!" However, the first attack did not fall on the British. The Dandong-class battleship Mipola, which had been seriously injured, was staggering and sneaking under the escort of several destroyers. Like a thief sneaking away against the wall, he tried his best not to attract the attention of the air police, but unfortunately, he was just a little bit unlucky... The British Air Force responsible for the cover had no time to estimate this little guy. After all, they couldn't even cover the main fleet!
More than 10 bombers filed into the battlefield under the leadership of the leader aircraft. The French also discovered the god of death falling from the sky. At this moment, all the rapid-fire cannons began to shoot into the air. The 75MM rapid-fire cannons and 40MM machine guns fired countless rounds into the air. The dense shells were like a dying lion, feebly waving its claws. I want to make one last stand for my life.
However, this kind of defense was destined to be impossible to save his life. In the first wave, four K-6 bombers carried the torpedoes to attack. The planes in a row ignored the shells exploding around them and decisively attacked them. Their flight altitude dropped to about 50 meters, and they flew gracefully at low altitude, approaching their opponents in a curved trajectory. As the distance increased, the frustrated French even began to use their main guns to bombard the sea, hoping to rely on water columns to interfere with the opponent's attack.
"Weak resistance!" There was a hint of contempt in the eyes of the German pilot who led the team. The entire fleet approached a distance of 600 to 800 meters under very smooth conditions, and then pulled the bomb handle! Four torpedoes fell into the water, and then the engines started. Trails of exhaust gas and bubbles formed in the seawater, like death's scythe across the water and quickly approached the panicked French battleship.
Tens of seconds later, when four German torpedo planes had pulled up,
And after flying over the head of the French battleship, two huge water columns rose next to the Mipola! Accompanied by the violent explosion, the 17,000-ton battleship shook violently, and then quickly tilted to the side of the mine. So far, the fate of this battleship has been determined, and he will never be able to go back. Got it!
However, the fly in the ointment is that because the Mepola is at the edge of the strait, the water depth is not very large. After being hit by two torpedoes, the battleship touched the bottom directly, so it could not sink. It is precisely for this reason that the result is the remaining The German bombers were misled, and then dropped bombs and torpedoes on the doomed battleship!
Three semi-armor-piercing shells landed on the Mepola's hull superstructure. After tons of explosives exploded, the five majestic chimneys on the Dandong-class battleship were completely destroyed, and most of the building-like superstructure collapsed. A moment later, a torpedo hit the battleship again, and this time it hit By coincidence, the location happened to be near the old injury. Therefore, the battleship could no longer withstand such a fatal blow. With a loud noise, the entire battleship was blown into two pieces.
When the Mipolla turned into two pieces of wreckage inserted into the seabed, the British and French main fleets were also attacked by swarms of bombers. This time, the French continued to have bad luck, with more than thirty bombers roaring towards it. The French Super Dreadnought is evacuating at high speed northward!
"All destroyers cover the battleships, and the space between the battleships is enlarged." Vice Admiral Le Bris had no good solution. After all, this was the first time the French had encountered this situation. The Lyon battleship at the end was targeted, and more than a dozen bombers braved the French anti-aircraft artillery and machine guns and began to dive!
It has to be said that battleships covered by a large number of destroyers are indeed more difficult to deal with. Destroyers equipped with a large number of 65MM rapid-fire cannons and machine guns intertwined into a dense fire net over the French battleships. A funnel-like barrage accompanied the artillery and battleships. The movement was shaking around in the air, and the British warships on the side also provided fire support. A large number of 2-pound guns made it very dangerous for torpedo planes to enter the battlefield from low altitudes.
Two K-4 bombers carried torpedoes and conducted a probing attack from low altitude. Their target was another Dandong-class battleship on the periphery of the fleet. However, when they lowered their altitude, they were flanked by three French 800-ton ships. -class destroyer, its two 100MM cannons, four 65MM cannons and at least seven machine guns put great pressure on the attack fleet. The barrage like a net covered the two bombers, one of which was at 800 meters. It was hit by shrapnel at a distance, and the other one could only throw away the torpedo in a hurry!
"Bombers go first! Hit the opponent's battleship directly!" Major Kumu, who was in charge of the command, issued the attack order after observing the situation on the entire battlefield. After all, the British and French were different from the Russians. If they wanted to achieve some results, they would not have to sacrifice a lot. The price is impossible!
Six improved K-6M bombers carrying these 300KG bombs entered the battlefield first. This was a bomber that increased its structural strength and reduced its bomb load in order to obtain a larger dive angle. The Luftwaffe found that when conducting tactical attacks , a larger dive angle helps to improve the penetration depth and hit accuracy of armor-piercing bombs. In this case, it is feasible to appropriately reduce the power of the bomb, so this K-6 bomber, known as the dive version, was developed Come out and join the battle for the first time!
