Chapter 1389 Desperate (2)

"The light cruisers are in groups of two, cover each other and keep a distance. The destroyers are regrouped to stop them!" In the face of another wave of attacks, Major General Hopman is using the last time to readjust his fleet. The destroyer went up to the dog fight, and the light cruiser sniped at a long distance from the side. However, I have to say that the number of Russian destroyers this time is really a bit high. (This is also a historical fact. Book friends with "Dreadnought Sea" can look at the battle sequence of the Russian Baltic Fleet. Although the total number is definitely not comparable to that of the British and Germans, it is a problem at all to come up with more than 30 destroyers and torpedo boats. No!)

And when a group of destroyers are placed in a tight formation, and then quickly approached to release torpedoes together, let alone the hit rate, a salvo of dozens of torpedoes can completely interfere with the mobility of a fleet. Hopman’s fleet is not powerful. The destroyer’s torpedoes have been consumed a lot in the previous engagement. It would be more difficult to intercept only by naval guns. After all, it would be more difficult to use high-explosive shells to hit a total weight of thousands of tons. The boat is still a bit strenuous. So, those guys who are like piranhas are still terrifying!

However, the situation that Major General Hopman was worried about did not appear. Just as the Russians were about to enter the final assault stage before the lightning strike, the arrival of a dozen K-6 bombers changed the situation on the entire battlefield!

"God, they rushed here! We can't get rid of them!" said a Russian sailor aboard the Ukrainian with a trembling voice, watching the K-6 bomber flying at an altitude of more than 100 meters above sea level.

"Hurry up and set up the machine gun! Shoot them down!" An officer walked to the deck a few steps, and hurried the soldiers who were trying to find shelter to the machine gun with a belt in his hand. On the rear deck, two double-mounted machine guns were connected to the bullet chain under the operation of a dozen soldiers, and then the huge target in the distance was set in the center of the ring of the mechanical sight!

When Russia met the German bombers, it still maintained the previous formation sailing. The speed and heading of the entire formation did not change much. The Russians who led the team knew that if the fleet disperse at this time, it could indeed avoid the air. Attack, but even if the group's plan to shoot torpedoes to disrupt the opponent's formation has completely failed, he intends to fight it! However, when you are stable, your opponent is stable. Even the German pilots were surprised that the Russian destroyer didn't hide when the bomber was approaching. ! Do you really think you can run past a bomber? This is obviously a contempt for the speed of the aircraft!

As a result, the first team of bombers almost flew over the destroyer traveling at high speed in a tail chase state, and then dropped a series of 100KG and 50KG bombs!

boom! Accompanied by a series of explosions, the Russian destroyer in the distance was covered by water walls in an instant, and if you look from the air, you can clearly see several bombs falling on and around the destroyer, and then for an instant , The fire and water will engulf the target!

Although the destroyer is fast, the hull is 70 meters long after all! The German bombers even ignored the small amount of machine gun firepower and lowered the height to about 100 meters. The probability of a bomb being shot directly may not be high, but if more than 5 bombs are dropped directly, it will be different! Just like a planter, a pile of bombs dropped by a K-6 bomber instantly covered all targets!

boom! The Ukrainian was hit on the back deck by a 50KG bomb! Regardless of this, the weight is about the same as a 150MM shell, but the charge is at least four times that of the latter's high-explosive shell! The entire destroyer was hit by a heavy hammer. Under the huge impact, several cabins at the stern were blown apart, and countless shrapnel and flames poured into the steering engine compartment at the rear of the destroyer. As if a cheetah was running suddenly had its tail cut off, the Ukrainian was moving irregularly on the sea.

The other Cossack was even worse, a 100KG high-explosive bomb was just in the center of the destroyer! A 102MM artillery and the chimney in front were directly wiped off the hull by dozens of kilograms of high explosives. The blue-green flames spread to the surroundings along the cracks and passages under the blowing of the sea breeze. The sharp shrapnel easily shredded the fragile steam pipes. The destroyer, which was able to run more than 30 knots, quickly dropped to 15 knots. As the flame spread to the power cabin, it was only a matter of time before the destroyer stopped.

And some near misses are equally deadly! After a Russian destroyer rushed past the water curtain produced by the explosion, it sank to the bottom of the sea under the horrified eyes of a group of Russians... This several hundred-ton torpedo boat was hit by two near-missing rounds, one of which was a 50KG high-explosive round that entered the water almost against the ship’s side. The violent explosion shattered the fragile watertight compartment like a small mine. Relying on inertia, this little guy rushed out, but soon, a large number of aquatic creatures were knocked out and pulled him into the embrace of the sea. Clouds of water mist and high-temperature gas gush out from the cracks of the battleship, and there are some crackling sounds in the middle. This should be the result of the explosion of sea water and high-temperature boilers....

When the first wave of air strikes ended, all bombers pulled up, circled, and once again entered the next round of attacks. The bombers that had thrown away their ammunition began to use a machine gun like a hedgehog to fire frantically at the Russian destroyer, and they even pulled the target closer to 300 meters! Then, with the shining of the machine gun fire ~lightnovelpub.net~ and the bullet casings falling like raindrops, a destroyer was completely covered by the firepower of at least 2 20MM machine guns and 4 machine guns! In less than a few seconds, hundreds of bullet holes appeared on the hull!

The sound of metal crashing, steel twisting and tearing, the crackling blast when the flame burns, and the screams of people hit by shrapnel are endless. Broken cabins, ubiquitous flames, cross-flowing blood on the deck and mutilated corpses made this a real hell. After two consecutive rounds of shooting, although the destroyer was still sailing on the sea, no one dared to touch the artillery beside the corpse pile! The smell of blood and corpses stimulated everyone's nerves. The roar of the machine gun was like the whisper of a demon. Facing the almost irresistible force, the morale of the Russians is close to the brink of collapse!

Some destroyers have no longer cared about formation and chose to flee, and the withdrawal of the first destroyer opened the prelude to the collapse of the Russian offensive. More and more destroyers and torpedo boats began to avoid death from the air, but machine guns and bombs are not the same. of! Intensive shooting at almost face-to-face distance and a large amount of ammunition can allow K-6 bombers to chase their opponents....
