Chapter 1247: Chasing death and north two
Chapter 1247 Pursuit of death and chasing north (2)
In fact, the count was right. On the first night after the Battle of Ereli, the battleship Queen Maria did not arrive in Kerch. To ensure that the Russian fleet could be thrown away, Lieutenant General Eberhardt ordered The fleet first ordered the warship to go east for a while, and then turn to the direction of the Sea of Azov. And the average speed of this warship was only about 12 knots. The Russians understood very well that as long as they could survive the day, the German fleet would inevitably lose its target at night. Then wait until the next day to arrive in Kerch...
Then, at 9:30 the next morning, the battleship Empress Maria near Kerch ran into two Prince Eugen and Tegerhof that had been waiting for a night! When they met, the power systems of the two German fast battleships were in vulgar operation, and they used oil-fired boilers (oil-fired boilers were directly fueled by pumps and did not require much manpower), so the exhaust fumes were very light. The coal-fired boilers of Russian battleships are just the opposite... Ever since, the German fleet first discovered the angry black smoke on the horizon, and then when the two sides entered the visual distance, everything was doomed!
The two super fearless, together, can use 12 350MM guns, with an average speed of 23 knots or more, and the opposite can use no more than 8 12-inch guns. Speed 15 or less. By the way, there are three destroyers next to them, this TM is still a fart!
"At this moment, I almost saw hell!" Major General Kolchak recalled his feelings at the time after the war, and his words almost represented the thoughts of everyone else. This battle could not be fought!
"Fire!" With the firing order issued, the main guns of the Tegerhof and Queen Maria fired almost at the same time, and a round of shells weighing hundreds of kilograms staggered through the air. The orange flame and the rising water column once again appeared on the sea. The Germans hoped that this battle could draw a perfect end, while the Russians were fighting for their own survival!
The actual result of the battle was indeed one-sided. It took only ten minutes from the first half salvo of the Tegerhof to the destruction of all the main guns of Queen Maria. Here, at least 8 rounds of the main artillery shells fell on this battleship that had been seriously injured! Three of the four turrets were beaten into blooming buns, and the other turret was pierced in the mount. The billowing smoke and flames gushing from the breach on the battleship, the broken superstructure, the big cracked hole and the twisted steel plate all tell everyone that the flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet has reached its limit!
The slanted hull made waves of metal distortion from time to time. In the final moments of this warship, the German fleet also dispatched destroyers to contain the fallen Russian navy officers and soldiers, and then used torpedoes to dispose of them. The fierce fighting attracted the attention of the Russian navy in the port of Kerch, and the report of the discovery of submarines also made the German fleet reluctant to stay here for a long time. Therefore, after taking in some of the prisoners, after throwing some lifebuoys into the sea, under the leadership of the Prince Eugen, the Allied Mediterranean fleet began to evacuate. Now, he urgently needs to return to Port Ereli, and there are many things waiting for him. deal with!
The offensive jointly launched by the British and the Russians finally settled on the next day. Compared with the battle at sea, the battle in the air ended earlier and more intense! On this day, the British and German air forces set their own records, and the British organized and carried out the first large-scale sea bombing. On this day, the Germans set a record for the squadron to take off against! A night sickle squadron with 22 crews actually made 56 sorties in one day! Many pilots have attacked three times, and another complete scimitar squadron has attacked 52 sorties in one day! On average, each pilot has attacked at least 2 times! And such a high-intensity attack has never been seen before!
The last time the air forces of the two sides met was over the Dardanelles! It was at 4:30 in the afternoon. The two squadrons of Scimitar and Night sickle had been waiting for a long time. A total of 28 K-4J aircraft were almost waiting for the British bombers to enter the field.
"I knew there would be such a time." Colonel Schott looked at the almost equally neat formations in front of him, and the airbreakers flying over menacingly couldn't help but smile.
"Head, what do we do now?" The voice of a colleague next to him was already trembling.
"What else? Go ahead! We have no choice! All the planes stay in a tight formation! Even if they are shot down, they can't take the initiative to leave! Give yourself behind to your teammates! Saint George will bless us to return safely!" Xiao The command of the colonel was immediately communicated to the entire fleet through various means.
At the same time, opponents in the distance are also looking at the British bomber group. In terms of the number, there are at least 30 more... More than 30 wings spread out 20 meters, and the guys over 30 meters formed a huge formation like a dark cloud. This thing is terrifying to anyone who sees it! To be honest, the Tracers have not seen anyone can put on such a big battle! The box formation is that the more planes gathered together, the higher the combat effectiveness. The British looked at the German interceptor with a little panic, while the Germans looked at the British box and felt a little flustered! The two sides are like cheetahs against wild boars.
"Maybe, this will be the last battle for some of us~www.wuxiaspot.com~ However, if we can choose to spend a mediocre life in his mediocrity, I would rather release all the light and Come to illuminate the battlefield, and my brothers!" The Squadron Captain Wolfstein of the Scimitar Squadron, who was also the commander in chief, said loudly in the Tracer formation that was also lined up in a dense formation. "So, I will take the lead in the charge! May God bless us! All squad captains carry out strike missions according to the scheduled plan! Teutonic Knights! Prepare! Attack!"
Under the provocative language, the morale of the Tracers is directly MAX! Like the ancestors of the German Empire, the heavy air cavalry of the new era launched an unstoppable charge against the British fleet in the distance! The eight tracers rushing in the front rushed to the distant opponent like sharp lances. This time, in order to ensure that the opponent can be dealt with at one time, on these eight planes, the frenzied German ground crew added them Two additional large-caliber machine guns are installed!
"Brothers, come closer, let's kill these nasty Germans with machine guns! They are nothing terrible! We are bigger and stronger than them! Pass this level and we can go home, where there is a great dinner. , There are clean beds, and the Victoria Medal is waiting for us!" At this time, the British fleet eager to go home is also morale MAX!
