Chapter 1245: The reversed situation
Chapter 1245
This is still possible under the condition of all-tailed evacuation. It is certain that after the last round of the British bombing, the German fleet will definitely not give up the prey it has. Look at the sky above, there is no cloud. . Look at the wall clock on the wall, it's almost time for lunch. Very good, the German fleet has at least 6 hours to take care of itself... Therefore, Lieutenant General Eberhardt also ordered the fleet to disperse and break through at the end, don't go together, no one can run away together!
"I suggest that the fleet head to the east. Let's go back to the Sea of Azov first. Don't go back to the Sevastopol fortress for the time being." Kolchak suggested in a low voice from the side.
"Why? There is no way to repair and maintain the Dreadnought in Kerch." Lieutenant General Eberhardt asked.
"Because you and more than 90% of the Russian officers think that returning to the Sevastopol Fortress is a good choice, and the Germans also think so. If they chase us, we can hardly escape, and you Didn’t you find it? Our other two former fearless ships were also in the Sevastopol Fortress, and after the Germans caught up to them, the battle could be ended in at most half an hour.” Major General Kolchak said with a gloomy expression. These remarks are suspected of being backed by friendly forces.
Now the situation is very clear. In front of the German super-fearless fast battleship, Fearless is actually not much different from the former Fearless... The Germans are not beasts. After catching a full meal, they won't catch it again. Therefore, there is no use for you to run past your teammates. At this time, for the Queen Maria, we must first pray that she will not be targeted by the Germans first, and then can only choose a retreat that the Germans did not expect. Therefore, in this case, Sevastopo You can never go back, not even at night! Who knows if the German submarine is blocked at the door waiting for you? ! You know, the Russians don't even have a few destroyers now. What is certain is that the number of destroyers that can go back now is estimated to be no more than one hand!
"Well, very good idea, let's go to Kerch. That's it!" Lieutenant General Eberhardt commanded immediately. At this time, with the Russian fleet running, the Ereli naval battle, which lasted for more than two hours, was finally about to come to an end.
"Colonel, let's go." On the pilot's V1500 bomber, an officer whispered to Colonel Short.
"Not reconciled!" Looking at the Rechadia battleship slowly evacuating under the cover of the former dreadnought Ferdinand, Colonel Short felt his heart dripping! And after looking at the bomber group remaining around him, and then silently estimated the number of remaining planes in his heart, Colonel Short's heart was even cooler.
The 4 bomber squadrons totaled more than 70 aircraft. Up to now, it is confirmed that about 27 have been shot down. There are 18 others around him. The rest is unknown. Perhaps there will still be individual bombers rushing to the battlefield, but they will do nothing if they attack alone.
"Now, what I need to do most is to take the remaining aircraft and crew back safely." Major Short said in his heart, and began to consider how to go home. It takes at least 5 to 6 hours to fly back to Greece from the port of Erreli, and the route is almost fixed, which can be understood as the connection between the port of Erreli and the airport....... No way, the shortest straight line between two points... Everyone knows who has gone to elementary school. However, the entire bomber force, including the top V1500 bomber in the British Air Force, must also fly this route! Because they have no choice, the deviation of the route may cause insufficient fuel and make it impossible to return. Furthermore, in order to save fuel as much as possible, they must fly at a prescribed altitude and at a prescribed speed.
"We are just waiting for the other party to ambush us." Colonel Short sighed helplessly. "Order, all bombers fly in defensive formation. If possible, I hope that more planes can be gathered together."
boom! With a loud bang, a 350MM heavy artillery shell from the Tegerhof successfully opened a large hole in the sidestring of the Russian seaplane carrier Emperor Nicholas I. The high-explosive shell weighing more than 600 kilograms is really powerful. , Which is directly equivalent to opening a bore to this poor seaplane carrier. A 20-meter-long scar was left on the waterline of the hull. For this warship converted from a civilian ship, the blow was deadly enough. The smoke, sparks and a large amount of white steam gushing from the breach told the opponent that the blow was near the power cabin.
"Okay, let the destroyer kill this warship." Horti ordered. After the British bombers left, the German fleet began to fight back directly, and the first to bear the brunt were the two auxiliary cruisers and the seaplane carrier. These battleships improved with civilian ships face elite fast battleships. Kolchak’s plan was indeed effective at the beginning. Neither Earl Spey nor Horti had expected the Russian fleet to go to Kerch for the first time.
Therefore, the two German battleships only captured the Three Saints and Rostislav! Although the two dreadnoughts were running in a timely manner, how could the two former dreadnoughts with a speed difference of more than 9 knots be able to run past their opponents, not to mention there are seaplanes hovering on their heads.
The first to be overtaken was the Battleship Three Saints. The so-called pretending to be for the time being was that this poor fellow was just chasing Tegerhof under the cover of the destroyer, but after the destroyer died. , This guy didn't run very in time, and was finally caught by the opponent 20 kilometers away from the original battlefield...

At a distance of 10 kilometers, the remaining 6 main guns of the Tegerhof were fully fired. The sidestrings of the hull continued to rise in orange flames, and the fire dragons roared and flew to the distance. The poor front is fearless. Under the blow of at least 12 shells per minute, the Three Saints died very simply. One shell directly hit the lower part of the turret of the former fearless bow, and the sharp warhead easily tore the sidestrings like cutting tofu. The armor belt was only 9 inches, and then successfully hit the lower ammunition depot!
A fire dragon suddenly soared into the sky from the Three Saints. A violent explosion cut through the bow of the warship like a sharp long knife, and the violent explosion detonated the torpedo compartment on the bow. The explosion of nearly 10 torpedoes directly blasted the bow of this battleship to pieces!
Subsequently, the second half of the beheaded battleship continued to rush forward for a while under the action of inertia, but the influx of sea water quickly lost the buoyancy of the poor battleship, and only a total of from the explosion to the sinking of the entire battleship In less than 2 minutes, and sinking so fast, only 3 people survived on this battleship!
Lately, it’s not so good--! In this passage, some readers may see the aggrieved, and the rest is chasing death and chasing the north, can you support it--!
