Chapter 2254: Final battle one
"Brothers, the feast is on the table, now it's up to us!" After finding the target, the Tiger Shark squadron quickly flew to the target, so the Norwegian Air Force kicked off a land-based air-to-sea battle!
"It's a German bomber!" The lookout post on the mast spotted the German bomber group that was approaching from the northeast for the first time. But for these killers from the air flag, the British fleet had nothing to do!
"Order, the fleet is separated, the light cruisers and destroyers prepare for air defense operations." At this time, Thomas can only give a symbolic combat order. The real air defense effect depends on luck!
Tiger Shark Squadron’s 24 K8 bombers are half bombers and the other half are torpedo planes. The bomber carried two 500KG bombs, while the torpedo aircraft carried one 750KG torpedo or two 450KG class torpedoes. ≮Yes, a total of 24 500KG bombs and a dozen torpedoes left the Thomas fleet with the first blood on the way to escape!
"Lower the altitude! Get me down to 200 meters! Speed and sail! Don't be afraid of the British anti-aircraft guns, they have been burned out!" In the cockpit of the K8 bomber, the captain kept saying that bombers attacked this era. The hit rate of fast-moving targets is very low, so the German bombing method is a group of 4 bombers, passing by the side of the battleship, and then in a neat formation with dense bombs to "cover" the target.
This requires a formation of bombers to be as dense as possible, and the lead crew must have very high quality. After all, he sends the signal to drop the bomb. The accuracy of the first bomb of the lead directly determines the accuracy of the subsequent bombs... ... Therefore, the lead plane in charge of the first wave of attacks boldly lowered the altitude to 200 meters, and then dropped from 150 meters to 80 kilometers per slope! And try to ensure the course.
However, even though the Luftwaffe has done a lot of preparations, the bombing effect of the K8 bomber is still not good in the face of the high-flying battlecruiser! The Germans’ first target was the Battlecruiser Inflexible. The lead plane dropped the first group of bombs at a distance of 200 meters from the Inflexible. However, this unsuccessful attack was destined to not be very good for subsequent attacks. , 8 rounds of 500KG bombs are of no use except to blow up a column of water.
However, the attack effect of the second formation was not wrong. Four K8 bombers flew at a height of less than 100 meters from the sea, and the long plane dropped bombs almost against the mast of the Indomitable!
"I can clearly see the details on this war-torn warship, the quadrangular turrets, the bullet marks of trade, the destroyed cabin, and even the people running on it. They fired at us with the only remaining machine guns. , I could feel that we were hit, sparks popped from the fuselage, and the fuselage was slightly shaken, but no matter what, we finally dropped the bomb. One of the bombs landed accurately in the middle of the hull of the Inflexible. We made ten rings!" The pilot pilot of the second formation after the war recalled the mockery at that time.
"The power of the 500KG semi-armor-piercing bomb is not extravagant. We hit the chimney part of the Inflexible. I can clearly see the bomb easily penetrated into the hull. Then when we left, the flames flashed on the Inflexible. With a loud noise, the entire chimney and the large upper deck were annoyed by the violent explosion. Flames and black smoke poured out of the hull. The impact of the explosion could even be felt on the plane. ♀ is our fate One bomb hit, and then my crew hit the second one!"
The position of the second bomb's command flag is the bow of the Indomitable. The powerful bomb almost forcibly broke the bow of the warship from the hull = the slender bow of the cruiser was like being smashed by a pair of big hands. Into the water and then crushed!
After the two bombings, the torpedo planes attacked. It was also a group of four. Without interference, the torpedo planes' attack was obviously much more accurate than the heavy bomber's horizontal bombing method! After all, bomb throwing is a three-dimensional motion, and after torpedoes are thrown into the water, it is a plane motion...
Compared with two rounds of 8 planes with 16 bombs and only 2 kills, the German bombers had a pretty good record in the first wave of attacks! The 4 bombers carried 8 rounds of 450KG-class torpedoes in a fan shape, gathered about 100 meters together, and slashed at their opponents like a machete!
"After the first round of attacks, the second round of attacks will be launched at an interval of 10 seconds!" Before launching the attack, the leader once again repeated the previous command. The large bomber can carry multiple torpedoes. In the previous experiment, the Germans found one. The probability of a torpedo plane dropping two torpedoes hitting the target in one attack is higher than that of two smaller planes struck respectively by lightning. Therefore, this time the Luftwaffe deliberately asked some large bombers to carry two smaller torpedoes to participate in the battle to verify the availability of such tactics in actual combat.
But the actual situation is not Chen's fault! Although the 8 torpedoes were dropped in two waves, the speed of the torpedoes was slow after all, so the 8 torpedoes still formed a complete and dense attack fan] It was an agile battlecruiser and was struggling to avoid 5 rounds. After the torpedo, he was finally hit by three torpedoes of 450kg~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but it was deadly enough for the British first-generation battlecruisers!
After the torpedo hits, the water column produced by the explosion rises next to the poor warship, and the violent burst of the hull is torn off as a whole, and even the two torpedoes that hit relatively close distances successfully stay on the Inflexible. I pity's unyielding horn with a 40-meter-long gap is as if it was broken!
"We seem to have completed the mission and can leave the precious ammunition to other warships." The Tiger Shark Squadron Captain looked at his first result with satisfaction and said. However, just as he was about to continue attacking other warships, a telegram was delivered to him.
"What's the joke? Let's go to the British aircraft carrier squadron? Are there other fleets? If we continue to stay in this battle, we can do better?" A subordinate said in a puzzled way.
"Maybe there are other considerations above. Of course, this is not what we need to know. We only need to know that it is our future king who gave the order, and he has never let us down. That's it." Tiger Shark Squadron belongs to Bavaria , And as the prestige of Crown Prince Ruprecht has increased, the people of Bavaria are even more respected. They will implement the orders of the Crown Prince even if they are not reasonable. The purpose of this forwarding telegram is naturally not to let the Air Force beat Thomas too badly. After all, Earl Spey now has only 3 to 4 kills!
