Chapter 627: The Bombers Are Here Again
At about 10 o'clock in the morning of November 19, 1908, the sea area northwest of Sri Lanka Island was still rumbling with cannons, and the sea feast of the main fleet of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire and the joint expeditionary fleet of the Entente and Allied Powers was underway, and the distance between the dreadnought battleships of the two fleets had been shortened to about 11,000 meters.
The bombardment between the dreadnought battleships of the two sides also lasted for one hour, and the joint expeditionary fleet suffered very heavy losses in the bombardment, and 10 dreadnought battleships of various countries were sunk in the bombardment, and 3 were seriously injured and withdrew from the battle line, which made the faces of the fleet commanders of various countries more ugly than one another, but what made the commanders of the naval fleets of these countries happy was that the extremely annoying fighters of the Chinese Empire did not appear again, which made them see the hope of finally defeating the main force of the Chinese Imperial Navy.
Things in the world are sometimes so strange, often after giving people hope, they give people greater despair in an instant, just like the ancient Chinese saying that happiness and sorrow are the same.
The commanders of the naval fleets of the seven countries of the Entente and the Central Powers, as well as the officers and men of the entire United Expeditionary Fleet, were still paying attention to the battle line formed by the dreadnought battleships of the Chinese Empire on the opposite side, immersed in the fierce dreadnought battleship bombardment, and suddenly there was a buzzing sound in the sky.
When the officers and men of the Joint Expeditionary Fleet looked up, they were immediately shocked, and saw that dense black spots had appeared in the sky behind the main fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy.
In the bridge of the British Navy's dreadnought battleship Giant in the middle of the Joint Expeditionary Fleet, Bridget, the commander-in-chief of the Combined Expeditionary Fleet, had just affirmed that the bombers of the Chinese Empire would not make trouble again, and as a result, the bomber group of the Chinese Empire appeared again. This face is slapping.
Ryan Meade, the captain of the Giant, looked at the group of Chinese Imperial bombers that appeared in the distance, and looked panicked. He stumbled and shouted, "Oh God! This...... This...... That's too bad, those ...... of the Chinese Empire The bombers are back. Commander, let's ...... What shall we do? ”
At this time, Bridget didn't say it right away, his throat was uncomfortable, and the group of Chinese Imperial bombers that suddenly appeared again was equivalent to sweeping his face in front of the officers and soldiers in the entire bridge, who let him just 1 minute ago, he swore that the Chinese Imperial fighters would not appear again, and he was suddenly aggrieved, and coughed continuously.
"Ahem-quick! Command the various large fast armored cruiser fleets, fast protection cruiser fleets, and destroyer fleets. Ahem ahem - get close to the battleship squadrons, ahem - help the battleships with air defense, dreadnought battleship squadrons...... Ahem-continue to fire the main guns of the Chinese Empire's dreadnought battleships, ahem--the all-steel battleship fleets are also preparing to fire their main guns, and the two sides are about to enter the range of the all-steel battleships, ahem-" Bridget said sharply as he coughed.
When the dreadnought battleships were bombarded, the other types of warships of the United Expeditionary Fleet, in order to avoid the fire at the city gate and the pond fish, formed a battle line with the dreadnought battleships. A certain distance was maintained.
Ryan Mead hesitated for a moment and then said, "Yes, Commander, I will immediately ask the telegraph operator to send a telegram to the commanders of the countries and the warbands. ”
In fact, in Ryan Mead's heart, what he wanted to hear most was Bridget's order to retreat. The giant aerial bombs dropped by the bombers of the Chinese Empire were no joke, they were the ones that could kill people, and Ryan Mead had seen many powerful dreadnought battleships sunk by aerial bombs.
If you are sunk in the bombardment of a dreadnought. I can only consider myself unlucky, but in the face of those dreadnought battleships in the sky. A small bomber, but it makes a powerful dreadnought battleship powerless. There is no ability to give full play, and he bears the wrath of the bombers of the Chinese Empire on his head with grievances.
Such a battle is really desperate, so much so that Ryan Mead was a little shaken, can the combined expeditionary fleet of the Entente and the Central Powers still win this naval battle? There was already a big question mark in Ryan Mead's heart, but he was only the captain of a dreadnought battleship, and he had no right to decide the fate of the entire Combined Expeditionary Fleet, and according to Bridget's orders, he could only command the Giant to continue fighting, hoping that God forbid, the aerial bombs of the bombers of the Chinese Empire would not fall on the head of the Giant.
After the warships of the entire Joint Expeditionary Fleet received the order of the commander-in-chief, Bridget, the large fast armored cruiser fleet, the fast protection cruiser team, and the destroyer battle team began to move closer to the battleships in front, preparing to use the anti-aircraft fire of their own warships to help the battleships resist the bombing of the Chinese Imperial bombers.
The all-steel battleship squadrons of the Joint Expeditionary Fleet also began to line up in battle lines, preparing to start bombarding with the battleships of the Chinese Empire, and the naval officers and men of various countries on the dreadnought battleships, after a period of panic, could not care about anything else, but now they were bombarding the formation of the dreadnought battleships of the Chinese Empire, and the main guns and shells of the dreadnought battleships were even much more powerful than the giant aerial bombs of the Chinese Imperial bombers, and the bombardment was still going on!
In the cabin of the H199 Seahawk bomber, Captain Xuan Shixun, pilot Cheng Hu, firefighters Zhang Ge and Liu Ge, bombardiers Wang Ge and Liangzi, after replenishing the mythical aircraft carrier Nuwa with five 800-kilogram aerial bombs and ammunition for airborne machine guns and airborne heavy machine guns, took off again to bomb the Joint Expeditionary Fleet.
The H199 Seahawk bomber was one of the planes that carried out the second round of bombing, but because after the first round of Seahawk bombing was over, when it returned to the aircraft carrier to land, there were many situations, so that when the second round of Seahawk bombers returned, many of the planes of the first round of bombers were hovering over the four mythic-class aircraft carriers, and they did not land, and the second round of Seahawk bombers had to hover over the heads of the four mythical-class aircraft carriers and wait for landing.
After the second round of Seahawk bombers landed on the four mythical aircraft carriers, the maintenance personnel on the four aircraft carriers hurriedly repaired the Seahawk bombers with minor injuries. Efforts should be made to ensure that these lightly injured Sea Hawk bombers can be lifted into the air again as soon as possible.
The logistics personnel of the four Mythical-class aircraft carriers hurried to reload the aerial bombers on the Seahawk bombers, which had no problems. As well as replenishment of ammunition for airborne machine guns and airborne heavy machine guns.
The officers and men of the Royal Navy of the Imperial Chinese Empire, four mythical aircraft carriers, were busy waiting for the fleet of Sea Hawk bombers to take to the air again. The bombardment of the dreadnought battleship over there has been going on for 1 hour.
The four Mythical aircraft carriers carried a total of 288 Sea Hawk bombers this time, and in the first two rounds of bombing, a total of 51 were shot down by the anti-aircraft fire on the warships of the Joint Expeditionary Fleet, plus the injuries were relatively serious, and only 202 Sea Hawk bombers on the four Mythical aircraft carriers could be lifted into the air again.
Zhen Li, the commander of the four mythical aircraft carriers, considering the large number of warships of the Joint Expeditionary Fleet, his own aircraft carriers could not let the Sea Hawk bomber group form a continuous bombing of the Joint Expeditionary Fleet for one reason or another. This time, all 202 Sea Hawk bombers that could be re-launched into the air were sent out at once, making the third round of bombing even larger.
On the H199 Sea Hawk bomber, Brother Liu, who had bandages wrapped around his arms, said with a smile: "In the last round of bombing, our H199 showed a big face, 2 Provence-class dreadnought battleships of the French Navy and 1 Freedom-class all-steel battleship of the French Navy were sunk by our 5 800-kilogram aerial bombs, such a record and such efficiency, there is really no one!" This time, let's strive to make new contributions, and we are waiting for us to be promoted and make a fortune! ”
Brother Zhang, another firepowerman, said with a smile: "Lao Liu." I said you were going to be recuperating on an aircraft carrier, why didn't you do it! It turned out that I was thinking of blowing up and sinking a few more warships of the Joint Expeditionary Fleet, so as to get a lot of military exploits and bonuses, hehe. ”
Brother Liu didn't care about Brother Zhang's ridicule and said, "We are fighting with our lives." It's not too much to think about some military exploits and bonuses, but we have wives and children to support. ”
Brother Wang, the bombardier, said with a smile: "I think Lao Liu is itchy when he encounters a war, otherwise with our record in the last bombing." It is definitely enough for Lao Liu to be promoted from the rank of non-commissioned officer to the rank of second lieutenant, and the bonus you get is at least a few thousand yuan. If you can buy a big house for your wife and children in Harbin and a car, why take the risk. and the brothers then dive bombing the Combined Expeditionary Fleet. ”
Brother Liu waved his hand with a smile on his face, "Brother is also a conscious person!" At this time, how can you be soft! ”
At this time, the chief Xuan Shixun shouted loudly: "Brother Tiger, keep the direction and speed, we are about to fly to the sky above the joint expeditionary fleet, Brother Zhang, Brother Liu, check the machine guns and heavy machine guns, and prepare to suppress the fire!" Brother Wang and Liangzi checked the bomb throwing device and listened to my orders to drop the bomb at any time! ”
Several people in the cabin heard that they were about to fly over the United Expeditionary Fleet, and immediately stopped chatting and began to check their equipment, and the tense moment was coming again.
Don't look at the H199 Seahawk bomber cabin a few people talking and laughing, as if they didn't take the upcoming bombing seriously, but they all understood in their hearts that there was a very big danger in the Seahawk bomber's dive bombing of the warships of the Combined Expeditionary Fleet, and the numerous anti-aircraft firepower on the warships of the Joint Expeditionary Fleet was not a decoration, otherwise in the first and second rounds of bombing, 51 Seahawk bombers would not have been destroyed.
Soon after the officers and men of the navy of the Joint Expeditionary Fleet discovered the bomber group of the Chinese Empire, the huge group of Sea Hawk bombers flew over the head of the 3rd Route Sub-Squadron of the Joint Expeditionary Fleet, and the chilling bombing of the officers and men of the Navy of the United Expeditionary Fleet began again.
"Brother Tiger, fly in the direction of 11 o'clock, we will bomb that dreadnought battleship of the French Navy, and that dreadnought battleship should be the lone class dreadnought battleship of the French Navy." Captain Hyun Se-hoon shouted loudly to the pilot Cheng Hu.
The H199 Sea Hawk bomber flew to the head of the right sub-fleet of the Joint Expeditionary Fleet this time, and the captain Hyun Shixun immediately chose a lone dreadnought battleship of the French Navy, and it seems that the H199 is against the French Navy.
Soon the H199 Sea Hawk bomber flew diagonally above the French Navy's lone-class dreadnought battleship Duss, and the captain Hyun Shixun had his eyes on the observation glass, and shouted loudly: "Brother Tiger, start diving down!" Brother Zhang, Brother Liu, cover with fire! Pilot Cheng Hu then controlled the H199 Sea Hawk bomber from an altitude of nearly 6,000 meters and began to dive downward, preparing to drop bombs on the French Navy's Doss.
"Oh God! There was a bomber from the Chinese Empire flying down on us! ”
"Quick! Fast! Fast! Fire! Fire! Knock it down! ”
"Hell, the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns are aiming some, don't let it drop bombs, or our Doese will be in danger!"
"God bless the Doss!"
Seeing the H199 Seahawk bomber swooping down on the Dreadnought battleship where he was located, the French naval officers and men on the Douse immediately shouted loudly in panic.
"Knock-knock-knock-"
"Dada-da-"
The French naval officers and sailors on the Dooss used 6 47mm anti-aircraft guns and 6 anti-aircraft machine guns to fire fiercely at the H199 Sea Hawk bombers, but unfortunately at this time the French Navy's fast protection cruisers and destroyers did not rush over, and the other dreadnought battleships were too busy to take care of themselves, and they were not able to use anti-aircraft fire to help the Doess intercept the H199 Sea Hawk bombing, plus the H199 Sea Hawk bombardment dive speed was too fast, and the 6 47 mm anti-aircraft guns with a low rate of fire could not be aimed at all, The French naval gunners who operated the anti-aircraft guns could only fire by feeling, and it was difficult for the six anti-aircraft machine guns to fatally inflict fatal injuries on the H199 Sea Hawk bombardment, and soon the H199 Sea Hawk bombardment dived to an altitude of about 1,500 meters.
However, H199 Sea Eagle bombing captain Hyun Shixun did not give the order to drop the bomb, but shouted to the pilot Cheng Hu: "Continue to circle and dive, pull down!" ”
It wasn't until the H199 Sea Eagle bombarded and dived to 1,200 meters away from the Dreadnought battleship that Hyun Shixun shouted: "Drop the bomb!" ”
After receiving the order, the bombardiers Wang Ge and Ryoko immediately pulled down the lever of the bomb port, allowing the two 800-kilogram aerial bombs to break away from the engine room of the H199 Sea Hawk bomber and fall on the head of the French Navy dreadnought battleship Does.
