Chapter 1244: 3 party melee three

Chapter 1244 Three-way melee (3)

Count Spey is not as accurate as Ruprecht and Hipper in terms of calculation accuracy. But his overall view is very good. And the action is very strong. He knows what to do under what circumstances. When the Rechadia was besieged by Russian battleships and British bombers, the earl’s first reaction was that if he did not go out, then the Rechadia would definitely be destroyed under the attack of the British and Russian navy and air. So what will be the result? He lost a precious fast battleship, and then after the British bomber group withdrew, he pushed back the Russian fleet.

And if you go out, taking advantage of the Russian fleet's unpreparedness, two fast battleships can cause tons of damage, and it is possible to kill a fearless confidant. Although it will attract the attention of British bombers, look now, hovering over the battlefield. The number of British bombers does not exceed 2 digits! "The opponent's attack is also at the end of the crossbow, and their remaining firepower is not even enough to severely damage Prince Eugen or Tegerhof. In this case, I think it is appropriate to exchange the battleship's moderate damage for the vitality of a battleship. "So, in this case, three German battleships quickly rushed out of the smoke screen. The destroyers were also divided into two teams, one to accompany the flagship to fight, and the other to cover the Lechadia as much as possible.

At present, it seems that this plan has been successful. Almost all British bombers still carrying bombs and torpedoes attacked the Earl's fleet, while the Rechadia gradually withdrew from the battlefield under the cover of the destroyer. At this time, there is no force that can threaten this hobbled giant ship.

As for the small number of British bombers without coordination? This is not a big threat to the Earl of Spey’s fleet. The remaining 8 British bombers were divided into two groups, of which 5 attacked the Earl’s flagship Prince Eugen, while the other 3 rushed to the Russian destroyer that had just escaped. The attacking Tegerhof.

Three destroyers blocked the only way for British bombers. After entering the attack route, the heavy FB27 bomber had difficulty even changing its flight direction. The 3 destroyers and the Prince Eugen behind them concentrated all their anti-aircraft firepower. At least 5 88MM guns and more than 10 2-pounder shells fired on the sea and flew to the target not far away!

The anti-aircraft gun made by the 88MM anti-lightning gun is not very effective. The gun has a slow rate of fire. The most important thing is that it is not flexible enough, the angle of rotation is too slow, and the pitch angle is also somewhat low. The 40MM cannon produced by Bavaria performed very well. After successfully driving away two British bombers, the third bomber was finally smashed. Four fist-sized shells directly destroyed the engine of a FB27 bomber. , And then, the wings of the plane crooked and fell straight into the sea, turning into a pile of debris.

And the three bombers that attacked the Tegerhof did not achieve any results. They had no torpedoes, only bombs. If only three bombers could hit the Tegerhof with a speed of 24 knots, then we can only say today. The **** is sleeping....

"Hurry up! Before the Germans are coming!" When the British bombers launched an attack on the Earl's fleet to cover the Russian Black Sea Fleet, the Russian destroyers braved the other side's firepower like a volcanic eruption. At the time, Lieutenant Eberhardt took a complicated look at the battleship Resadiye, which was about to withdraw from sight, and the German fleet that was dealing with various troubles in the distance. Everyone present was a little surprised and even puzzled. In his eyes, he issued a retreat order!

"Hurry up and send a signal to the other two former dreadnoughts to tell them to withdraw from the battlefield immediately! We dispersed and evacuate." At this moment, Kolchak said loudly. "If you still want to go back alive." The Russian naval officer, who had just awakened from his dream, realized the seriousness of the problem. A few minutes later, the battleship Queen Maria turned first, and before leaving, Eberhardt The lieutenant raised the signal flag and told Emperor Alexander III that they could dispose of the battleship if necessary.

"We have already lost, haven't we?" Eberhardt's hands trembled slightly. He tried to grab the cup next to him twice, but failed. Failure brought frustration, fear, helplessness and frustration. It made him breathless like a noose. The lieutenant's face was pale, and the big beads of sweat fell drop by drop. As if suddenly ten years old.

"But you have done your best, Lieutenant General, this is not our fault." Major General Kolchak said solemnly. "At least the Allied Mediterranean Fleet also paid a heavy price. Turkey's industrial foundation is very poor. They have no ability to repair these warships. We have pushed them to the brink of collapse, and Britain and France can help us complete the last step."

"Really? I hope so, I hope you can help me take care of the Black Sea Fleet. We at least made them pay an unimaginable price, didn't we? So, it's good to let me take the responsibility alone." Eberhardt said softly. Said. At this moment, he seemed to be hollowed out. After saying this, he never spoke again.

The whole plan has failed, and even according to Colonel Schott, when the day broke, the British bomber troops almost failed to enter the field on time, they had already lost half! In the ensuing hours of fighting, the British and Russians tried their best to make up for it. However, the Germans were also prepared~www.wuxiaspot.com~ In the case that the Earl made no mistakes and the German aviation team tried their best to resist, In this battle outside the port of Ereli, the Allies lost the war!

Of course, you can't say that the British have nothing to gain, they at least severely damaged one super fearless and one quasi fearless. According to the situation in Turkey, the heavily damaged Rechadia battleship is estimated to be unable to be completely repaired in the next four months, and these two battleships are equivalent to being completely eliminated from the future Battle of the Great Neal Strait. If you count the two super-dreadnought battleships destroyed in Constantinople and an armored cruiser destroyed by Group C, then the Allied Mediterranean Fleet has lost half of its capital ships! Although there was no single blow to defeat the opponent, this action cannot be considered a failure in general!

To be fair, it is indeed not good for the British, but it is also an acceptable result! But for the Russians, they are already very interesting without losing their pants! So far, the losses that can be determined for the Russian Black Sea Fleet are as follows: the dreadnought battleship Alexander III, the quasi-dreadnoughts Yephistarin and John Chrysostom, 1 cruiser and 8 destroyers! The main and auxiliary battleships lost more than half, and the remaining battleships were not even as effective as a British battleship detachment!
