Chapter 1241 Thunder in the Sky 2

Although this round of attacks was ferocious, it was not fatal. The Reshadier continued to maintain a speed of more than 22 knots after emerging from the water column and smoke. However, before the Germans could secretly rejoice that they had escaped this disaster, a row of shells suddenly fell and made the battleship's situation worse!

"We can't see the Russian warships on the opposite side, the smoke screen is too big." The flames and thick smoke generated after the explosion of nearly 600 pounds of high explosives made the rangefinder at the top almost useless, and the hot and distorted air and thick smoke The interference almost blocks the entire field of view. The fire control personnel could only notice the light of the main gun firing somewhere in the distance, but they were unable to effectively measure the range. Shocked by the British bombers, the two Russian dreadnoughts, the Queen Maria and the Emperor Alexander III, opened fire crazily at the Reschadière with crossfire!

The two Russian dreadnoughts now have at least 16 more 12-inch guns that can be used. At a distance of less than 12 kilometers, the two battleships attacked the unresponsive Resaldier at a rate of at least 10 tons per minute. The insane amount of ammo tilts the flames of destruction. In less than 3 minutes after it emerged from the bomber's barrage, the Resardier was hit at least 3 times!

The bow of the Reshadier sank suddenly, and a high-explosive bomb weighing 470KG hit the lightly protected area of ​​​​the bow. The entire 100MM thick armor plate was torn off from the warship, and nearby areas were blown up. The anchor room. One of the other two shells directly hit the rear mast of the battleship, and the other hit the bridge of the Reshadier. A fire was set off near the battleship's control tower. The raging flames and thick smoke instantly enveloped the entire ship. Command Tower, the officers in the command tower quickly lost their perception of the outside world, and all they could see was gray and red.

"Let's move to a different place. We can't command the warship here!" The captain of the Resardier prepared to move to a place with a better view. During this period of time, the battleship's operation was actually semi-paralyzed. Although the Russian shells did not cause fatal damage to the battleship, they provided great convenience for the attack of the British torpedo aircraft!

At this time, the Reshadier was like a bewildered giant, walking through the dangerous battlefield, with sharp arrows and spears shooting from all directions. And he could only rely on his strong steel armor and luck to resist. Of course the British would not give up this opportunity. Colonel Short, who was always ready to attack, soon discovered something unusual about this Turkish battleship - this guy's trajectory was the same as that of a drunkard!

"This is our chance! Kill it!" Major Short shouted, lining up the front seat driver's shoulders as he shouted! Subsequently, the V1500 bomber numbered V-12 took the lead in rushing down with its own crew!

This time the British gave up formation bombing. Their attack waves were very wide, but unusually long-lasting, like cutting flesh with a knife, trying to kill the opponent bit by bit. Four V1500 bombers were divided into two groups and attacked from the left and right sides of the Reshadier.

The torpedoes dropped by the two bombers on the left once again lost their targets, but when Colonel Short's plane entered, everything changed!

"Stabilize the height, let's attack its diagonal front!"

"Get closer! 500 meters! Yes, that's it, don't worry!" Finally, at a distance of 550 meters, the V1500 bomber dropped the 800KG torpedo mounted on the belly! This airborne aviation torpedo, numbered MK5, is a new product of the British. It is specially produced for shooting two-engine and four-engine bombers. As for the advantages? Naturally, the weight of the warhead is large enough and the range is relatively long. The 240KG warhead is enough to make any battleship feel intimidated!

This battleship shot almost diagonally towards the Resardier. About 30 seconds later, a loud noise came from behind Colonel Short. Even though the view was obstructed, a large amount of debris could still be seen being thrown into the air. , and the falling water mist.

The power of this torpedo is truly terrifying! After the explosion, a linear crack with a length of more than ten meters and an area of ​​dozens of square meters appeared in the middle and front of the battleship's hull! The Turkish naval officers on the battleship could almost feel the bow of the battleship being lifted violently, and then hit hard into the water. Looking from the bridge, one can see that there is almost a large dent in the left side of the bow. The breach with black smoke and flames is as frightening and unsettling as the bloody mouth of a giant beast. The front part of the hull The armor plates were also squeezed and deformed, pieces of decks turned into fragments, and even the bow structure was bent!

"Great job! Work harder and kill them!" Colonel Short said excitedly. Then, four more bombers carried the torpedo and launched an attack!

At this time, the battleship had taken in more than 2,000 tons of water, but fortunately the near miss and the torpedo attack were not on the same side. Otherwise, the situation of the Resardier would have been even worse! But at this time, the battleship had tilted 10 degrees. The bow of the ship is less than 1 meter above the waterline! The entire battleship suffered a serious tilt. The speed also dropped to about 16 knots. Huge swells easily surged onto the deck, constantly washing away the A turret. In order to prevent water from entering, the two turrets on the bow of the Reshadier had been turned to the side.

At this time, the British seemed to have reached the stage of beating the drowned dog. The four British bombers descended leisurely, and then arranged the attack unhurriedly. The torpedoes hanging under their belly were as frightening as the scythe of death. "This wave may not kill them, but the next wave definitely can!" Colonel Short said while looking at his teammates entering the attack route.

However, at this moment, a gray figure quickly passed by the colonel's eyes, and then like a meteorite, it hit one of the V1500 bombers that was preparing to launch a lightning strike. Compared with the huge 4-engine bomber, this guy is so inconspicuous, like a rabbit lying next to a lion. Major Short's eyes shrank into needle-shaped pupils that foreshadowed danger. He looked nervously at the German seaplane that rushed towards the British bomber and slammed into it diagonally from above at an altitude of 80 meters. The V1500 bomber cannot change its flight direction!

Like a heavy hammer falling from the sky, at this time, the German seaplane, which weighed just over 1 ton, hit the center of the target's body. In this case, there was no doubt about the result. With the violent collision, the aircraft The plane was broken into two ends from the impact position. The lower half of the body fell directly into the sea, while the front half of the body still struggled to fly for a short distance under the influence of the engine and then fell into the sea unwillingly!
