Chapter 1226: Target-Constantinople
Chapter 1226 Goal-Constantinople
The scimitar squadron waiting to take off at the base is obviously too late! Therefore, only part of the interceptors of the Nightscythe squadron that were on standby over Constantinople rushed to Ereli immediately. After all, the K-4J interceptor is the basis of a twin-engine bomber. Other than that, fuel is enough. Therefore, in the face of an emergency, the ambush net set up by Captain Halley was directly torn off by the Germans. The team of 12 twin-engine fighters flew to the southeast. There are currently only 12 twin-engine fighters on standby in the air! At this time, the British Group B came over!
"I saw him! It's the San Esteban! He's on slipway 3! It's next to the tower crane. Yes, I saw him!" The FB-27 bomber in the posture of Lieutenant Colonel Sols from Jun Shi When flying through the port in the southern part of Tantinburg, I saw the Austro-Hungarian super fearless St. Esteban being repaired in the port at a glance. This poor warship could not even move, so it could only stay there and wait. Destiny's approval!
The Royal Air Force Group B’s entry into the battlefield is actually very good! At this time, the K-4J interceptors of the two squads originally hovering over the port had already flown towards Ereli, and the Scimitar Squadron at the base was preparing to take off. And because the British took advantage of the cover of the clouds, the other two patrol teams did not arrive at a time. They had about 15 to 20 minutes before the German fighters arrived!
"Stay steady, be steady, don't worry, as long as we can play our due level, then we will become the first squadron to sink a battleship!" Lieutenant Colonel Sols kept reminding the bomber in front.
In the horrified gaze of the Turks, the first group of six bombers divided into two groups and entered the bombing route. The British pilot carefully controlled the flight attitude of the aircraft, with the nose pressed down to 15 degrees, and then started from an altitude of 3000 meters. Glide down. When the huge plane was flying at high speed, it was compressed in the air, and it made a piercing sound, accompanied by the roar of the engine. An unspeakable sound wave echoed over the harbor.
1500 meters, 1200 meters, 900 meters! 700 meters! Very good, at this height! The British bombardier put his eyes on the eyepiece of the bomber scope. At the same time constantly adjust according to the course and speed. The huge bomber leveled immediately after dipping to a height of 400 meters. After adapting to a slight overweight, the aircraft entered from the back of the San Esteban’s hull, when the huge hull almost covered the cross area of the front sight. After that, the bombardier pulled down the handle!
The 1,000-pound bomb fell off the pylon and flew towards the target below, and the bomber jumped slightly upward due to the sudden reduction in its weight. Three British bombers dropped bombs at the same time, and the three bombs generally covered the battleship below!
Boom, a huge fire, mixed with a lot of rubble and dense smoke, rushed into the air several tens of meters, and the bomb hit a breakwater next to the berth. Hundreds of kilograms of explosives directly left a huge gap in the towering breakwater.
The real damage to this battleship was the second bomb. This bomb landed on the front of the San Esteban hull. The heavy bomb directly left dozens of pieces on the upper deck of the hull. After a large opening of square meters penetrated through 2 decks in a row, the highly sensitive fuze and picric explosives collided with the dome. In an instant, a huge fireball burst out from the shot, numerous deck fragments and The steel structure was thrown into the air, and the compartments were destroyed by huge shock waves and flames. Even the thin armor belt at the front of the hull was torn from the inside, opening a gap several meters long. The influx of hundreds of tons of sea water made the bow of this warship almost bottomed!
The third bomb landed at a distance of 100 meters from the battleship. Well, apart from a splash of water, it did not cause much damage.
Soon, two other groups of British bombers launched torpedo attacks. Among them, three FB27 bombers entered the battlefield from the side of the hull and flew in the air less than 80 meters above the sea. 2000 meters, 1500 meters, 800 meters! And just when the British were about to press down the handle of the torpedo launching, the biggest problem with the torpedo was finally exposed-they were too fragile when attacking!
Imagine that the wings of an ultra-low-altitude flying over 20 meters wide, and a behemoth flying at a speed of no more than 120 kilometers flies past. The route can’t change this. It’s really not difficult to hit it off, especially since this is Turkey’s largest military port after all. Apart from other things, there are a lot of 40MM, 75MM and 88MM antiaircraft guns. Some secondary artillery and antiaircraft artillery on the Eastvan were also removed to enhance the port’s air defense firepower. These things may not be effective against horizontal bombers, but they are unprepared, and even defenses are very limited. If the torpedo has entered the attack channel, then hehe! After all, with such a large aircraft, such a low altitude and speed, under the complicated port terrain, do you want to dodge attacks? What are you thinking about!
As a result, the British, who underestimated the situation, left the first drop of blood in this air strike! Eight 40MM cannons from Bavaria and three 88MM cannons were aimed at the attacker almost simultaneously. These cannons placed on the shore do not have to consider the ship's swing, so the accuracy is naturally improved a lot, plus this time It is mental arithmetic and unintentional, and the passage through which such a huge bomber can pass is really small... (After all, this is in the port, not on the high seas.)
In the case of a certain attack direction ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ then the firepower is naturally quite concentrated! Boom! Boom! The peculiar sound of the 2-pound rapid-fire gun reverberated in the harbor. A huge square ammunition box was fixed on the side of the gun’s receiver. In order to ensure continuous shooting, this gun was also equipped with a huge cooling water bucket, which was used for 10 per second. The shells fired at the above rate of fire jumped and shuttled quickly on the sea, and then the second and third doors! A few seconds later, the two 88MM guns hidden next to them also started firing. Along with one-meter-long flaming tongues, high-explosive shells weighing 9KG roared towards the incoming British fleet!
Hundreds of kilograms of shells shot from the side immediately frightened the British, and then it was useless. The hit was still a return. First, a 2-pound shell hit a bomber on the edge. On the upper wing, the shell weighing nearly 1 kg is not comparable to a 12.7MM machine gun. You know, at the beginning, on the Western Front, this thing was used to fight tanks!
With a bang, the wing on this bomber was directly cut off by more than 2 meters! The plane that was hit suddenly fell into an unbalanced state and began to swing to the side. Instead of waiting for the plane to finally fall into the water, an 88MM shell resulted in a clean result of the opponent!
