The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 1224: Volley one

Chapter 1224 Interception 1

The B group attacking Constantinople and the C group attacking the Earl of Luknar fleet are much more convenient in terms of navigation, because their night voyage is along the Dardanelles! Under the conditions of sufficient moonlight, the entire Dardanelles is like a silver ribbon. Flying along the Dardanelles, naturally there will be no big loopholes, and after daybreak, as long as you don’t deviate too much, you can see the huge natural landmark of Constantinople, so the B fleet is almost not There is a possibility that the target cannot be found, and the same is true for the C cluster. And because of the short flight range, they took off relatively late. Group B took off at 3 in the morning. The C cluster is 1 hour early.

"The huge fleet of aircraft shuttled through the night. Except for the roar of the engine, we could hardly hear any sound. The outside was pitch black, only the reflection of the sea water and the villages and towns along the way had some light. These fireflies-like bright spots were embellished like black. On the ground like a curtain. We are the masters of the sky, drifting by when they are asleep, and then sending them to death!" Lieutenant Colonel Sols, who is in charge of commanding the B fleet, described his night flight. The 27 bombers were formed into 3 formations of 9 aircraft, which spread out in an irregular pattern in the air. They quickly passed from an altitude of 3,500 meters and flew to the distant target.

And when the clock reached 5 a.m., at the abandoned airship transfer station northwest of Constantinople, it is now the temporary station of the Night Scythe Squadron. After the last cup of coffee, Captain Halley walked out of the pilot’s lounge. Now, It's time for them to act. Take off at 5:30 and reach the sky over Constantinople at around 6:30. When the sun rises at 7 o'clock, all the aircraft groups should have entered the scheduled ambush position. Well, that's it first! The captain verified the mission brief for the last piece.

There are a total of 36 K-4J interceptors on hand, and the number that can be dispatched is 30. It happens to be organized into 5 teams. Captain Halley directly commands the fourth team, and the takeoff order is relatively late. When his fleet took off, the sun had risen from the east, and a red halo filled half of the sky. With the help of two Daimler-Benz engines that output up to 300 horsepower, the K-4J Tracer easily climbed to an altitude of 4000 meters and cruised at a speed of 130 kilometers per hour.

"Oh my God, what did I see?" The exclamation from the back seat made Captain Halley's heart tighten! Just northeast of them, at an altitude of about 3,500 meters, a huge fleet of aircraft is flying in the direction of true north. If it weren’t for the telegrapher in the back seat to glance at it unconsciously, in a few minutes, these things would go from Harley. The field of vision disappeared!

"This is at least the size of a squadron! It's a bomber! Made, I'm sure this is definitely not ours!" Captain Halley also saw these British bombers at a distance of more than 10 kilometers from him. There were more than 12 bombers in two triangle formations. And this is part of the British responsible for bombing the C fleet of Burgas Port! According to the plan, they should arrive at the vicinity of Constantinople at around 7 o'clock. Then they entered the sea, avoiding land reconnaissance, and went straight to the Bulgarian port city of Burgas. At this sensitive point in time, they collided with Captain Halley's team full of arms!

"Head, what do we do? There are a lot of planes opposite, we can't eat it." Hess in the back seat wiped a cold sweat and said.

"Notify the tower immediately! Report our location and situation. There may be a major event today! Then hand over the command to Lieutenant Sule and let him take command!" Captain Halle took a deep breath. "Then, let's get rid of these guys!" After saying this, Halley shook the wing of the plane and signaled other planes to follow him, then turned to shallow dive and flew towards the back of the British fleet.

"Today will be my ace time! I still won the old guy Wolfstein!" The excitement of the battle made Captain Halley feel that there was a surplus of managers all over him. He had never felt that way before. He was fighting British and French fighters on the Western Front. When he was in the army, nor did he hit the bookshelves of the Russians, he could feel that this time, he encountered an opponent worthy of his seriousness!

The angle chosen by Captain Halley was very good. The entire team flew out of the clouds behind the British fleet. Relying on the acceleration provided by the shallow dive, the speed of the entire fleet was as high as more than 190 kilometers per hour when approaching. Appeared in the sight of the British rear gunner.

"God, what is this?!" The huge nose of the K-4J interceptor instantly filled the vision of the British machine gunner, and the four 12.7MM machine guns on the front of the German aircraft were like the sharp long horns of a dragon. Usually people are frightened. Unprepared, Captain Halley easily cut to a place less than 500 meters away from the opponent, and then pressed the shooting button!

Six 12.7MM machine guns can eject more than 80 rounds of ammunition every second. From the start of the attack to the passing of the target in just ten seconds, Captain Halley easily managed to reach this one with hundreds of rounds. The tail of the O-400 bomber! The powerful incendiary bomb easily tore the entire tail of the aircraft together with a machine gunner and two Wickers machine guns into pieces like a storm, and the combustion engine in the bullet ignited the wooden fuselage of the aircraft. Under the blow of the wind, the yellow-green flame began to spread to the middle of the body!

"Throw away the bomb immediately! Let's go!" Listening to the crackling burning sound behind him~lightnovelpub.net~ smelling the poisonous gas, the captain of the British plane who was hit panicked and threw away the 1000-pound bomb. And operate the plane to prepare to escape, but all this is too late! Another K-4J aircraft easily caught up with the heavily damaged giant. Six fire snakes spewed out at the same time, like a fiery red chain saw, which used the engine on the left side of the aircraft together with most of the wings. Unloaded from the plane!

"The first kill just flew!" Captain Halley looked at the wingman who had just picked up the peaches with a bit of resentment. But soon, Captain Halley adjusted his mood and started hunting other prey again. Today's goals are many, enough to achieve his ace career! (Kill more than 5 aircraft in total)

"All planes, focus! Back to back, hit them back!" The British reacted very quickly. Just after Captain Halley's first wave of raids, the remaining British planes quickly approached, like bison threatened by lions. Usually just hug each other, dozens of 7.7MM machine guns are aimed at the German fleet waiting for an opportunity like the sharp horns of a bison. Now, the battle has just begun!
