Chapter 1239 Fleet battle (3)

As for the subsequent battle, it can be described as one-sided. After the Reshadia felt the Yevstarin, the main gun was aimed at the former's same-level ship John Chrysostom. The battle time with this weak chicken was not too long. After 10 minutes of firing, the Resadiye smashed at least half a dozen shells on the quasi-fearless hull. The boiler room was hit by two rounds, two After an amazing explosion, no boiler was spared. The huge shock wave shredded the cabin above the boiler compartment and knocked down the two chimneys directly. The fire was out of control, and the fire began to spread across the ship.

"From the surface of the battleship to the lowest deck, almost every cabin was filled with smoke and flames. The corpses that died from suffocation and burns everywhere turned it into a morgue. The battleship was bombarded by the Germans. Constantly shaking and fighting, the sound of the armor plate being torn and the sound of crashing down constantly stimulated our ears. We crawled in the dark cabin just to escape before the iron coffin sank into the sea." Zhan Later, a Russian officer on the John Chrysostom recalled the scene like this.

In the end, the warship was finally forced to leave the queue 20 minutes after the Reshardier fired on it, and then the destroyer that rushed up directly brought down three torpedoes at a distance of 800 meters. It became the second Russian battleship sunk in this naval battle.

Although the battle had some twists and turns, it still unfolded as the Germans expected. The German warships were hit hard and then killed. However, at this moment, the situation on the battlefield changed a little, and the scimitar squadron in the sky could not stop the British bombers.

Captain Wolfstein, the captain of the Scimitar Squadron, once again bit a British bomber. If he can shoot it down, then this is his fourth victory today! As he did before, he easily bit a FB27 bomber, entered from the side and rear, avoiding most of the opponent's self-defense firepower, and then easily pulled the trigger, accompanied by a slight vibration, 6 12.7 The MM machine gun smoothly fired hundreds of bullets at the behemoth in front.

However, this time, the torrential attack did not last long. After only 3 seconds, the two 12.7MM machine guns under the wings stopped firing. And 2 seconds later, the four 12.7MM machine guns located on the nose were also accompanied by a series of locks to tell its owner that the ammunition was exhausted!

"Damn, I knew that, I should have a MG09 in the cockpit!" Wolfstein banged the cockpit angrily. "Boy, I'll fly by in front for a while, force your rear-shot machine gun, and kill this guy! I will never allow this prey to run away or become someone else's record!" The captain said to the telegrapher in his back seat. Said the Sagittarius.

"God, I guess there will be no chance!" The colleagues in the back seat looked at the MG09 7.92MM machine gun in hand and wailed.

And Wolfstein's situation happened to be the situation with most of the combat opportunities of the Scimitar Squadron-there was not enough ammunition! A K-4 bomber has about 3000 rounds of ammunition. A more powerful pilot can solve a target with about 700 rounds of ammunition. Yes, you read that right. When attacking, don't look at the machine gun firing it is a pleasure, but the ammunition order rate is about 5%. Don't say it if the level is worse. So after the Scimitar Squadron destroyed and injured 22 bombers, at least half of the interceptors suffered from insufficient ammunition. And at this time, there are at least as many British bombers coming from all directions!

The British on the opposite side seemed to realize that the latter had no bullets. When the two planes crossed by, a British pilot seemed to point his machine gun at Wolfstein, but did not shoot. And this kind of action made the German pilot angry!

"I swear! Absolutely! Absolutely! Don't let you go!" After the angry squadron commander parachuted the pilot in the back seat, he drove the plane and made a successful aerial impact! The K4-J interceptor flew past the damaged FB27 bomber once again. The wing on one side was lifted, and it cut straight to the left wing of the bomber like a razor!

The collision of wood can only have one result. The wing of the K4-J interceptor was broken by one-third, and the wing of the poor FB27 bomber was directly destroyed in half. The scattered wood slats will support the pillars and the engine. It was shattered, and in just ten seconds, this plane could only be plunged with half of its wings! After a while, it turned into a flame.

"Well, gather all the aircraft that can come over, and we will launch an air strike together. This is our best opportunity. The German interceptor is already at the end of the battle. Our teammates are basically there, and the German fleet is fighting. The Russian Mediterranean Fleet played against each other, and it was a very good situation.” At this moment, a Colonel Short who had not directly entered the battle finally issued an attack.

At this time, 15 V1500 bombers and 7 FB27s were gathered around him. This is already the result of Colonel Short waiting for more than an hour beside the battlefield! As many as 22 bombers lined up in close formation in the air, like a group of hedgehogs hugging each other. Many bomber pilots did not receive the command of Colonel Schott and chose to group together. They just saw these bombers piled together~lightnovelpub.net~ The Germans did not dare to come up, so they flew over... . In the beginning, the scimitar squadron's mass killing of British bombers really left them with a terrifying impression!

"Aren't we waiting anymore?" asked an officer in the back seat.

"No need. When we came out, there were 4 squadrons with a total of 62 bombers of various kinds. Now at least 20 have been killed, and we have 22 in our hands. The remaining aircraft either failed or went the wrong way. ......" Colonel Short said.

Short really deserves to be the old fritters in the Royal Air Force. His estimation of the situation is very correct. It is now more than an hour later than the expected time. Except for the V1500 four-shot bomber, the rest is no matter whether it is FB27 or O-400 bombers should have run out of fuel, and there is hope to fly back directly. If you delay for a while, let's not say whether the Germans can knock them down. They don't think they can fly back. And now, there are 15 V1500s, and there are very few that haven't come over except for those destroyed! Let's start the fight when almost everyone arrives, the longer the time, the greater the changes!
