Chapter 197: Sea and Air Duel (Part II)
At this moment, dozens of anti-aircraft guns on the port side of the Elizabeth battleship began to shoot fiercely at Neride, and countless bullets rained down like a torrential rain, "Woo...... Boom", before the position of firing the torpedo was reached, another JU87 was shot down, and three of the six planes remained.
"Dada...... Da Da ...... "The remaining ju87 on the shelves continued to charge forward bravely against the rain of bullets fired from all directions, and finally reached 1,500 meters, Neride shouted:
"Bomb Dropping...... Hurry up ......"
As for what part of the Elizabeth battleship the pilots behind Nerlid were aiming at, it was not up to Nerlid to command, this could only be judged by them. Nelid was aiming a little further back from Elizabeth's bow, which was the most difficult to avoid.
"Poof...... Poof...... "three sounds, three torpedoes into the water, these three torpedoes are like arrows from the string, towards Elizabeth who is sailing in a Z not far away, the three torpedoes are aimed at the rear of the bow, one is aimed at the middle of Elizabeth's tail, so that no matter how Elizabeth's huge body evades, two will be hit.
"Torpedo...... Torpedo...... Left full rudder...... Kaga ......"
The battleship of tens of thousands of tons suddenly made an emergency turn, and there was a lot of movement, and the Elizabethan battleship made a harsh metallic sound of "Karma".
As soon as Nerid finished throwing the torpedo, he hurriedly pulled the plane up, and the destroyers around Elizabeth concentrated their fire on the German plane that took the lead, and the "whooshing" bullets shuttled around Nerid, and suddenly Neried felt the fuselage of his plane shake, and then all the instruments in the cab failed, and then thick smoke came out of the gap in the bridge.
"Woooooooooo......oo Oops, being concentrated...... Captain Neride, quick, fast parachuting, your plane is burning...... Damn British. ”
Neride, who had no choice, hurriedly raised his hand to open the hood of the ju87, and then planted his own landline by turning over, and a snow-white parachute opened in the air "swish", and now Neride was in the mood to appreciate this beautiful war picture. Of course, this time Nelid can only end up as a prisoner, and as for whether the British will give Neride the treatment of a prisoner of war, I really don't know.
The entire sea was full of burning warships, and countless ju87s were still roaring and continuing to attack, as if they would not give up until all the main warships of these British Yankees were sunk. Countless bullets fired by anti-aircraft artillery, connected into orange and red fire whips, chased the planes in the sky, of course, planes were constantly shot down, but the warships below were even more miserable. Even the battleship Queen Elizabeth, which was not far away, was on fire at this time, and the hull was already a little poured, and the dive attack of the first group of Nerid continued, diving down towards the Queen Elizabeth one by one, and the heavy aerial bombs of the thousand-kilogram class were like the sickles of death.
Every time Elizabeth was hit, there was a "boom", the superstructure of the battleship Queen Elizabeth was a large part less, and even Elizabeth's several fifteen-inch guns did not know where to fly, and the fire quickly wrapped the entire Queen Elizabeth, and countless British sailors scrambled to jump from the warship, and it seemed that Elizabeth's captain had ordered to abandon the ship. The battleship Queen Elizabeth was hopelessly broken, and then two heavy aerial bombs fell on the Queen Elizabeth, which became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the Queen Elizabeth was torn in two by the violent explosion and began to sink rapidly.
HMS Warweary, HMS Barham, HMS Warrior and HMS Malaya. The cameras of battleships such as the Revenge and the Royal Oak sank, none of the seven battleships of the British Home Fleet escaped, all of them were sunk, and the accuracy of the JU87 dive bombers was too high, not to mention that all the Germans used were heavy aerial bombs, and even the battleships could not carry them, let alone other warships.
The Prestige and the Hood were also sunk, all fifteen heavy cruisers were sunk without any of them slipping through the net, only three light cruisers were sunk, and only one destroyer was sunk by the downed Ju87. The main warships of the British Home Fleet were all destroyed, and only destroyers and light cruisers remained.
Forbes, the commander of the British Home Fleet, was also buried with the Queen Elizabeth in the air raid, and even the sea water was burning and dyed red in Scapa Bend, and the airfield on the shore was similar to hell on earth, with burning oil depots, bombed ammunition depots, and the wreckage of the planes burning on the tarmac all silently telling the great success of the air raid.
The news of the successful air raid was sent back to Li Mo's command, and seeing that some of the famous warships of World War II were sent to the bottom of the sea by themselves in such a sinister way, Li Mo really had a little regret, maybe it was often said that it was cheap and good! "What a pity! It's a pity that these famous ships just went to the bottom of the sea to sleep, and I'm afraid that I won't see them again in the future...... Hey......". Li Mo, this is the rhythm of being the first son and setting up the archway!
"Oooh oh...... Long live Germany...... Long live the Führer......"
The entire aircraft carrier formation immediately boiled, and there were celebratory crowds everywhere, just as these loving officers and soldiers were wantonly carnivaling, suddenly Stephen's cold and ruthless voice came from all the broadcasts:
"All personnel shall immediately return to their combat posts, and if they slacken, they shall be immediately court-martialed."
The reveling sailors were stunned for a moment, and then realized that they were still fighting, and even if the air raid plan was perfectly over, wouldn't it be a tragedy if British planes or submarines attacked their aircraft carrier formations? These reveling sailors howled a few times and hurried to their combat posts, and the discipline and obedience of the German army were truly vividly demonstrated.
Soon BF109 began to return, landing, BF109 battle losses are not large, wait for the completion of the ship after a count, only to lose 29 aircraft, these lost aircraft are mainly the losses caused by the fight with the British carrier-based aircraft, the British lost more than 100 carrier-based aircraft, five to one record, is already good.
As soon as the BF109 landed, it was immediately refueled and replenished with ammunition after it was parked in order to prepare for the second wave of air strikes. JU87 also began to arrive over the aircraft carrier, and now Li Mo was moving forward quickly while recovering JU87, and after recovering all the planes, Li Mo hurriedly let his entire aircraft carrier formation sail quickly into the wind and at high speed.
The planes that landed on the ship immediately filled with fuel, replenished ammunition, and prepared for the second sortie, Li Mo actually considered it, now all the main warships of the British home fleet have been sunk by themselves, and the second wave of attacks is not necessary, and now the second wave of attacks is only to attack those destroyers, destroyers are much more flexible than battleships, in order not to regret it, Li Mo still ordered all carrier-based aircraft to attack a second time to pursue and destroy those fleeing destroyers.
The remaining destroyers of the British Home Fleet are miserable, because Britain has no usable aircraft at Scarpa Bend, so the BF109 is equipped with two 250 kg bombs, of course, the BF109 with two 250 kg bombs is very clumsy, and the maneuverability is not even comparable to the JU87, but as long as there are no British planes to harass, there is no problem, even if there are British planes to attack, these BF109 can immediately throw away the bombs and immediately meet the battle.
More than 400 planes, all carrying aerial bombs or air-launched torpedoes, attacked some of the remaining light cruisers and destroyers of the British Home Fleet, and the Home Fleet was doomed. The remaining ships of the home fleet had not yet escaped from Scapa Bend when the second wave of air attacks by German planes ushered in, although the ships of the home fleet fought back desperately, but the natural advantage of aircraft over ships made their desperate despair of dooming them to the end of total annihilation.
Soon Britain received the news of the total annihilation of the Atlantic Fleet, the home fleet, which was simply a bolt from the blue, and made all the British people cry. The whole of Britain is grieving, is it that God is not looking after the British Empire? No one answered them, leaving the British with professional grief, tears, and endless unwillingness.
"Tiger Tiger Tiger" plan, the telegram was sent to the high command, now it is exactly eight o'clock, it is the time for Hitler to go to work, at this time Hitler saw the information sent by Miss Schroeder, excited to fight, the British Navy for hundreds of years, have been riding on the head of Germany and pee, this time Germany broke the myth of the invincibility of the British Navy in one fell swoop, and sent all the main warships of the British Home Fleet to the bottom of the Scapa Bend, what a great victory!
