Chapter 534: The British are going to fight for their lives
Chapter 534 The British want to fight for their lives
"These rigid Germans, they all admit to losing the competition, or use Fetzler" Zhang Leshui piloted the Ju-87 while flying smoothly, while glancing at Walter's Fi167 two-seater reconnaissance/torpedo machine diagonally behind.
Zhang Leshui also recognized that the 1,500-kilometer range of Fitzeler's FI167 was longer than that of the Stuka type, but the low speed and weak self-defense ability of the old biplane were some fatal weaknesses. Although the top speed of the Stuka is also more than 300 kilometers per hour, it is still a little faster than the Fi167 with a maximum speed of 325 kilometers per hour and the R-1963 water reconnaissance aircraft with a speed of 310 kilometers per hour that is often used by the German warships to Arado.
At critical times, you can escape with a quick speed, plus Stuka's thick armor and three-gun machine gun, at least the survivability is much stronger than that of Fitzelle.
Zhang Leshui deliberately increased the speed of the voyage on Chinese New Year's Eve, leaving Walter and them behind. On the endless sea of Chinese New Year's Eve, the waves roll and reflect the dazzling sunlight, occasionally shaking your eyes. Zhang Leshui just squinted his eyes slightly, the sunglasses he was wearing at this time were self-produced by the vanguard army, and they were already as famous as Ray-Ban sunglasses at this time. Germans, Italian Chinese New Year's Eve and even pilots including Soviet Russia were taken by the vanguard army to produce sunglasses. Even in the United States, the folk are widely loved because of the trendy style.
In order to open sales, Meng Xiang even added vanguard-made sunglasses lenses to Hollywood films, thus opening up the American market. In the Philadelphia story, which was released on December 1, Katharine Hepburn and Gary Grant and other protagonists appeared with one or several sunglasses, and even James Stewart, who later joined the army and became a brigadier general in the Air Force, also wore a pilot's version of sunglasses specially designed for him.
With the popularity of Philadelphia stories, there has been another wave of popularity. Although it also drove many Americans who rejected foreign goods to invest more in Ray-Ban sunglasses, Meng Xiang did not suffer at all. His three shadow companies hold the Chinese New Year's Eve stock of the Doctor Division, and no matter how good or bad Ray-Ban is, Meng Xiang makes money.
However, the singing and dancing of the United States is far away from Europe and even China, and even farther away from Zhang Leshui, who is cruising on the sea on Chinese New Year's Eve at this time.
The sun was shining on the rolling sea, and under the jump of thousands of points of light, only the shadow of the Stuka driven by Zhang Leshui glided alone.
"Lord, there is a situation!" Feng 1533, who had been sitting in the back seat and had been silent, suddenly spoke.
At the same time, a palpitation alerted Zhang Leshui, and he pulled up the fuselage suddenly, and three long scorching bullet chains flew past the corners of his eyes. Then he felt a violent shock of the plane, and he knew that the plane had been shot just now, but the plane was still under his control.
The attack came from overhead, and under those somewhat scattered clouds overhead, two British Sea Fighter carrier-based combat/reconnaissance planes that had just been drilled fell into Zhang Leshui's eyes, which made him feel a shock in his heart.
The samples of various aircraft in the world produced by Meng Xiang are not only the favorites of aircraft research institutions, but also the physical specimens of the pilots' education. The physical objects and detailed pictures and text introductions made Zhang Leshui, who had seen the sea fighters, know that he was in trouble this time.
The Sea Fighter, which only entered service with the Royal Navy in 37 years, crossed the Ju-392 at a speed of 392 kilometers per hour. The Sea Fighter was also equipped with a machine gun, and the eight bullet chains thrown out by the two Sea Fighters followed Zhang Leshui and kept stirring the air that had begun to scorch. Let Zhang Leshui secretly complain.
Stuka's level of flexibility is obviously not as good as that of the fighter's sea fighter, and under the attack of the two sea fighters, if it weren't for Zhang Leshui's operation being pretty good, I'm afraid there would be a lot more bullet holes in the fuselage.
"It's the carrier-based aircraft of the British, and there may be British aircraft carriers around!" Zhang Leshui shouted on Chinese New Year's Eve while dodging. Before he could tell him, Feng 1533, who was a part-time radio operator in the back, had already told the news of their encounter with the enemy as soon as possible.
"Zhang, let's go!" As Zhang Leshui controlled Stuka, whose wings were slightly damaged, to dodge left and right, Walter's shout rang in his ears. He and Zhang Leshui took on the reconnaissance of this direction together, and Walter, who refused to admit defeat, also rushed over. happened to run into Zhang Leshui chasing after the two sea fighters of the British.
"Walter, cooperate with me and destroy them!" Zhang Leshui shouted on Chinese New Year's Eve. The embarrassment of being chased by two sea fighters made him hold back his anger. One-on-one against the Sea Fighter, he is not afraid at all, and in the face of the more agile Zero aircraft, he can turn defeat into victory. It's just a one-on-two, plus the plane is a little damaged, so he can only choose to dodge. At this time, seeing Walter and them coming, although Fitzeler's performance was much worse than that of the Sea Fighters, he believed that if they cooperated properly, it was likely that the two Sea Fighters would be left behind. In the next battleship encounter, take the lead.
"Zhang, we are reconnaissance planes! Don't dwell on it too much, get out of the way! "The machine guns on Walter's FI167 have begun to roar, blocking the fire of the Sea Fighters behind them. They also saw that this was a sea fighter, and they were not something that the FI167 could parry, nor could a JU-87 with a dive bomber.
"Walter, we don't lose our run. They can run up to 392 km/h at the fastest speed, and we have to fight for it! Zhang Leshui shouted on Chinese New Year's Eve. He just dodged the burst of bullets above his head in a dive, and then quickly pulled up, and after a short period of dizziness, he brought the hope of fighting with excitement all over his body. This is the sequelae of his seasickness, as long as there is more rolling in the flight, the slightest vertigo is more and more sober excitement.
Walter also heard the top speed of the sea fighter for the first time, and after a little hesitation, he also resolutely agreed to Zhang Leshui's plan. He also knew that at such speeds, they wouldn't be able to run very far.
"I'll attack, cover!" Zhang Leshui continued to shout, and after Walter's biplane came over, he rushed directly towards a sea fighter. In this kind of hedging, he once shot down a Zero of the devil, and his original dreadnought dive bomber already had two red star markings on its body. Although he was replaced with a Ju-87, he learned to dive in a Stuka and became proficient for a long time after receiving the mission.
Listening to the tinkling sound of 7.7mm machine gun bullets hitting the armor of the fuselage, Zhang Leshui became more and more calm. He could already see the frightened cursed face of the British flyer in the cockpit opposite, but the three chains of flaming whips had torn the frozen moment to pieces.
"Zhang, he's a madman!" Walter's praise came from his ears, Zhang Leshui smiled, he knew that he could not compete with the sea fighter with his agility and speed, and the only reliance was to use the Stuka as an armored advantage of a dive bomber, and sure enough, although there was a puff of black smoke on the fuselage, he still won.
The remaining Sea Fighter did not escape, but left behind the FI167, which was struggling hard, and rushed directly towards Zhang Leshui, and after a continuous strafing fire, it broke the tail of the Ju-87. But he forgot that Stuka was operated by two people, and the fire chain on the Feng 1533's TingMG15 machine gun in the rear slammed him, and Zhang Leshui clearly saw the traces of broken cockpit glass in the corner of his eye.
The plane did not return, but glided and fell endlessly, and finally went straight into the water. Until the rolling waves drowned it all, and the pilots did not escape.
"God! Zhang, received two medals of honor at once! Walter, who dragged the scar on the upper left flank, caught up, and the first sentence was an envious admiration.
"Let's figure out how to go back! I found that my plane was about to lose control. Zhang Leshui said twice, and then smiled bitterly. The plane has already broken its skin, and it is still unknown whether it will be able to hold on until it flies back.
After receiving the latest battle report, the two BF-109s that flew in to pick up the target quickly circled around for a while. An R-1963 water reconnaissance plane flew next to Zhang Leshui and Walter. If they can't hold on, after parachuting, they can land on the water to facilitate the organization of rescue. But all the way back to the aircraft carrier Aquila, it didn't have any use. Zhang Leshui dragged the black smoke all the way and finally landed on the aircraft carrier.
The German pilots on the deck who were already on standby had a look of respect in their eyes, and they had melted away the arrogance that had been left in their eyes.
"Hurry up! Our goal is to find the British aircraft carrier that is hiding around us! Squadron Leader Müller of the Dive Bomber Flying Squadron greeted his men Chinese New Year's Eve.
Aware of the speed and combat effectiveness of the Sea Fighters, the reconnaissance planes sent by the Germans this time, mainly Stuka, in groups of two and two, were sent to several key targets of suspicion. The Germans were not completely rigid either, those R-1963 water reconnaissance planes needed to be kept to proofread the targets for shelling, and those Fizerer needed to be ready for torpedo attacks.
More BF-109s are also ready for a sneak attack by British aircraft carriers.
The fleet's radars and sonars are also fully turned on, searching for all clues. The hand pointed to 11:13 a.m. on December 24.
……
"Message confirmed?" Although Meng Xiang had already believed the news, he still scratched his head for the decisiveness of the British.
"Two spies sent out this news at the same time, and after confirming it, this news should be confirmed." Rat Er's face was still calm, but Meng Xiang's eyes still showed surprise.
"The British are going to be desperate this time, and they actually sent such a strong and Chinese New Year's Eve fleet to encircle and annihilate those two Dreadnought-class battleships, which is even more Chinese New Year's Eve than the original fleet that encircled and annihilated Bismarck. He's ***, this time it's a bit of trouble. Meng Xiang looked at the partial list of formations that the spy agents in Britain had collected to encircle and destroy the two second-class dreadnought-class battleships, and couldn't help but feel numb.
"Originally, the purpose of the loan was to earn military upgrades, and by the way, I put some pressure on the British, but I didn't expect the British who stabbed Ji to fight for their lives. Originally, I thought that it would be possible to have one upgrade in the battle, but now it seems that it is not easy to keep one. Meng Xiang looked at the list, and his mind was constantly thinking about how to deal with it.
……
"What? So many ships? When Fan Chong saw this information, he couldn't help but be amazed. There are many people, Meng Xiang doesn't think that he is possessed by Brother Pig, what good example can he come up with, and professional problems are still left to professionals to deal with.
Shen Honglie and Chen Ce were silent at this time, just looking at the warships on the list that had once shocked the world. In the past, any of the giant ships on these lists sailed to Huaxia, and the city terrified the Huaxia Navy, but now it is true that so many warships have come to surround and annihilate the two super-battleships sent by Huaxia. This is a source of pride and deep concern in their hearts.
"This time, as we already know, they have gathered seven battleships such as the Nelson, the Barham, the Revenge, and even the new George V, as well as the battlecruisers Hood and the Return Strike, and three aircraft carriers, including the Radiance, and perhaps other ships unknown to us. How can you parry a fight like this? Shen Honglie took a deep breath and said.
"Although our Xindingyuan and Zhenyuan are better performers, they are invincible with two fists and four hands, and the threat of torpedoes is not visible, and as a result, there are fewer ships around them to escort." Chen Ce also wrinkled his eyebrows and sighed. Not long after he learned the news, he had only heard of the new Dingyuan and Zhenyuan that suddenly appeared, but he had never seen it.
"We should immediately inform the Germans and send a nearby ship or submarine to pick them up." Fan Chong said in a deep voice, "At this time, we can only rely on them." ”
"They have been notified!" Meng Xiang nodded his head a little helplessly, this time the estimate was insufficient, but he didn't expect the British to go crazy and press on half of the navy's strength to deal with the second-class dreadnought battleship. This is how Bismarck fell, and it stands to reason that he should be a little vigilant. It's just that I didn't expect the British to put aside the crisis of the British Isles and the war around the Mediterranean, and first came to the second class dreadnought battleship.
"Hopefully they'll arrive in time!" Meng Xiang was also a little apprehensive in his heart, he was not very worried about the battleship, and the scale of not more than 10 million yuan was destroyed in time, but there were nearly 2,000 vanguard naval officers and soldiers on it, many of whom were future naval seedlings, and this time they were going to temper their mixed experience, especially Chen Guan, Wang Xiu and others These are all newly rising young generals, and they are also the tomorrow department that Meng Xiang focuses on cultivating. They encountered an accident, which really made Meng Xiang sad
