Chapter 1228: Don't leave if you come

Chapter 1228

First, this is the port, which means that although the warship is partially sunk, it is easier to salvage in shallow water. In fact, if this is a battleship in good condition, even the same hit is still not enough to be lethal in the deep open sea. Although there was a lot of water ingress, the lucky thing was that there was no damage to the engine room, because the hit was on the upper part of the boiler room...

As for the second point, although the explosive power is great, it is not an armor-piercing projectile after all. Most of the really important compartments are preserved. For example, the ammunition compartment, motor compartment, and engine compartment have hardly received a fatal blow. After the battle, cooperate. The pontoon is picked up and then repaired again to make do with it. Of course, it’s hard to say what would happen if two bombs were hit again, but at this time, the remaining British bomber group still carrying ammunition has already targeted the United Forces battleship that is leaving the port. .

The three O-400 bombers of the Seventh Squad roared over the Joint Force, and then, not surprisingly, all three bombs were out of the way by the flagship of the Austro-Hungarian Navy with a speed of 15 knots. The effect of horizontal bombing on moving targets dropped sharply. In the open sea, the attack effect of torpedoes will be much better, but it is a pity that the British have wasted too many torpedoes on the San Esteban. But even so, the situation of the Joint Force is still not optimistic.

A total of 5 British bomber units carrying torpedoes launched attacks from both sides at the same time. Although they did not cooperate well, they still formed a cross attack. In less than a minute, 5 rounds weighed more than 500 kg. The torpedo enters the water at a distance of 800 to 500 meters from both sides of the battleship. Driven by the engine, the propeller pushes the torpedo towards the target at a speed of more than 35 knots per hour.

The exhaust gas generated after the combustion was sent from the tail of the torpedo to form a white track. In this round of attack, the Joint Force could not completely evade, and a torpedo hit the middle of the left side of the hull, but the weight Fortunately, the explosive torpedo weighing only 110KG has limited damage to this warship with intact underwater defense system. After tearing a large hole of 5 square meters and bringing in 650 tons of water, surging shock waves and shrapnel Eventually it was blocked by the empty tank behind the tank.

The British horizontal bombers were really not efficient when attacking moving targets. In the subsequent round of attacks, only one bomb caused a near miss. However, the situation of the Joint Forces was also good this time. The bomb fell on the middle right side of the hull and entered the water at a distance of 25 meters. The shock wave produced by the explosion tore several cracks on the starboard side of the Joint Forces. It caused more than 400 tons of water ingress, nothing more, but even so. For this warship that is about to be repaired, the fate in the next 2 months is estimated to continue to stay in a shipyard.

Some bombs inevitably destroyed some buildings around the port of Constantinople. Two warehouses and one factory building were smashed by falling bombs. At the same time, some buildings also left dense bullet holes.

"The San Esteban is over. The Joint Force was hit with at least 2 torpedoes and 1 bomb." After a while, Lieutenant Colonel Sols looked at the statistics below and nodded with satisfaction. Among other things, just blasting the San Esteban is a great feat! The battleship was almost irreplaceable for the Allies, sinking one ship and one less ship. According to the statistical hit results, the other joint force may not be able to enter the battle within half a year. One attack removed two battleships from the Germans' battle sequence, which is considered a complete mission for the B bomber group! At this time, only 3 of the 27 bombers of the British were destroyed and seriously injured!

In the view of Lieutenant Colonel Sauls, at this time, as long as he and his B fleet can return safely, the mission is completed. However, it is a pity that the British have stayed in the port area for too long. When the O-400 and FB27 bombers were about to climb and leave, the scimitar squadron that had arrived was waiting for them in the air from 1,500 to 3,000 meters!

The first attack was the 7th and 9th squadrons just after fighting the Joint Force. Two British bombers had just raised their noses and were swooped down by two adversaries before they climbed 500 meters in the air. The K-4J interceptor got caught.

"Go to hell! Brit!" Accompanied by the pilot's curse, the dense rain of bullets ejected from 6 large-caliber machine guns formed an oval drop zone in the air, accurately covering one of the bombers in just 8 seconds In clock time, as the plane moved, hundreds of bullets roared in, covering directly from the nose to the tail, and the front part of the entire plane was almost shattered. With an explosion, this British plane would never be able to go back, and another British plane suffered the same fate. The British and German planes staggered for a moment, one of the poor O-400 bombers. The wings were shattered. Then he plunged into the sea.

The roaring group of German interceptors made Lieutenant Colonel Sols frightened. Although it was the first time to see a professional interceptor from the Bavarian Air Force, the terrifying scene of the entire nose as if showering in flames when the fire was opened made him aware of the crisis immediately. At this time, the British bomber force had just completed the bombing, the flying altitude was generally low, and it was very scattered ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ was in a state of being vulnerable to attack.

"Maybe, after going back this time, there will be no more light sword bomber squadrons." Looking at a FB27 bomber that was only 2,000 meters away from him, it was directly blown to pieces. Lieutenant Colonel Sauls finally gave the order to disperse and break through. Generally, whether it is land or sea battle, once this order is issued, it is basically not far from the collapse! In fact, this is true. Soon after the Bavarian Scimitar Interceptor Squadron entered the field, in less than 15 minutes, 7 twin-engine bombers were destroyed and 27 planes came out, and 10 have now been hung up. , This loss rate is a bit shocking!

However, this was only the beginning, not only the beginning of Sauls’ B bomber group, but also the beginning of the first major blood loss for the entire British bomber force! The German interceptor group that had already reacted madly rushed to all known British bomber groups under the guidance of the ground. The air-sea war that lasted for a whole day was abnormally bloody!

And just as the two sides were fighting over Constantinople, the Count Luknar’s fleet was also attacked by air off the port of Burgas in Bulgaria.
