Chapter 1425

If the Russian anti-aircraft firepower is just a bunch of crackling machine guns, then the British anti-aircraft firepower clearly has a sense of hierarchy! First, when the distance was about 5,000 meters in a straight line, it was first attacked by a 75MM artillery. Clouds of black smoke exploded around the aircraft group, and countless shrapnel bloomed flowers of death under the push of explosives. The French The grenade shells used make this shell at least visually powerful.

"I have to say that we underestimated the air defense firepower of the Allies. They actually concentrated a large number of medium caliber artillery to attack us at a long distance. A series of artillery shells rose from the air defense artillery positions on the ground, and then exploded around the aircraft group. There was a series of dense bullet rain, countless prefabricated steel **** flying in the air, weaving a large net of death, we can even see the friendly forces beaten into briquettes by shrapnel dragging black smoke from the air. I swear, this is. The most violent anti-aircraft firepower I have ever seen." A German pilot said with lingering fear.

Otherwise, the English and French are the Hao! In this port city, the British gathered 10 75MM rapid-fire artillery groups, a total of 40 antiaircraft guns to build a long-range air defense system, then an inner circle defense system composed of at least 52 2-pounder guns, and finally, hundreds of guns. The point defense system built by machine guns of various calibers on high ground, on top of buildings, and on individual ships is the first time to face this kind of strike against this air defense system that hits from far to near, from 5500 meters away to 150 meters The German Air Force is really a little bit scared...

"Fortunately, we are carrying some mines, not just bombs." Some of the bombers avoided the anti-aircraft artillery deployed by the British and began to enter the port’s channel from the sea, and then weighed 100KG one by one at a height of 100 meters or less. 150KG mines were thrown into the channel, and some bombers were forcibly bombing the berths in the port area under the cover of fighters!

The J-3 fighter jets followed by the follow-up K-6 bombers performed the suppression task well. They used 2 to 4 aircraft as a team to suppress the 2-pounder position in the inner circle of the British. The ammunition fired by the 20MM machine gun and the 12.7MM large-caliber machine gun created a cloud of smoke around the bunker. The sandbag and the bunker can barely resist the attack of the ordinary machine gun, but it is much worse for the 20MM gun.

A J-3 fighter jet entered the battlefield from the direction with its back to the sun, and attacked a 2-pounder gun from behind. The artillery weighing a few hundred kilograms was completely driven by manpower and could not be turned quickly. In the eyes of a group of British people with consternation and fear, Dozens of 20MM shells roared out, breaking the entire gun group into a ball of meat sauce. The ammunition box hanging next to the machine gun was also hit, and the armor-piercing incendiary bomb ignited the ammunition inside. With a loud noise, the huge explosion pushed the sandbags around the bunker into pieces, and the 40MM barrel It was also bombed into the air for tens of meters.

The anti-aircraft artillery deployed by the British was indeed a threat to the German bombers. The 75MM antiaircraft artillery broke up the fleet at a long distance and interfered with the bombing. The 40MM machine guns that can cause huge damage to the bombers are actually! The machine gun on the bomber and the British 40MM cannon on the ground fired wildly at a distance of less than 1,000 meters.

The dense artillery shells intertwined into a barrage in the air, and the British could not retreat or retreat in order to cover the transport ship behind which was unloading people. The Germans are desperately close in order to solve at least one battalion of enemy forces at once!

A series of beating bullets swept across the gun position, and at least three British soldiers were intercepted by the flying large-caliber bullets. But the sacrifice of the British was not without gain. A 40MM shell slammed into the upper wing of the K-6 bomber, and the huge lethality directly knocked off the half-wing of the aircraft! The several-ton plane also shook violently.

Like an angry behemoth, the two 12.7MM machine guns on the nose of the damaged K-6 bomber and the other two machine guns in the abdomen of the body attacked the artillery, counterattacking frantically like a seriously injured shark. The armor installed by the British on the front of the anti-aircraft artillery finally turned into countless fragments under the continuous blows, and a round of armor-piercing incendiary bombs swept past, forming a huge oval drop zone. Break everything shattered into pieces.

However, this bomber will eventually fall here. Another 40MM antiaircraft gun pointed its muzzle at the wounded giant. A series of 40MM shells roared and hit the bomber, and a series of huge explosions directly caused it. The second half of the bomber was withdrawn from the plane.

However, the bomber finally completed its mission. With flames and bullet holes on its body, the bomber eventually crashed into a transport ship. With a loud noise, the barge with a displacement of more than 5,000 tons Directly blown into two halves! With the fall of a bomb, the entire port area was also shrouded in gunpowder and fire.

Some bombers turned their attack targets to the antiaircraft artillery positions. These bombers flew through people from a few hundred meters in the air, and then threw a round of sub-munitions and napalm into the British air defense positions. This powerful face-to-face killing Every weapon attack is a catastrophe!

"I saw a napalm bomb being thrown down~lightnovelpub.net~ This thing was bouncing and rolling for a long time. Accompanied by the explosion, a piece of napalm was scattered around. A rectangular killing area of ​​flames enveloped our air defense position. There were 4 75MM antiaircraft guns inside. Maybe it was too close, maybe because of the damage caused by ammunition exploding. Three of the 4 antiaircraft guns were destroyed, and 4 There were 48 people in the artillery squad. In the end, only 3 people were unscathed, and 7 were seriously injured. The others were all engulfed by flames.” A British officer wrote in his diary. There was a strong smell of blood between the lines!

"The British's main point of air defense is very good. Our attack efficiency is not high. We can only complete about half of the planned attack target. And the loss is very large. So far, our K-6 bombers have been lost. There are 10 planes, and a few others were injured.” After the bombing mission was over, a staff officer collected the battle reports from the front and sent them to Major General Harrell.

"Well, the British are really powerful. As for the effect of the air strikes on Thessaloniki, they did not meet expectations, but it doesn't matter. The main target of our wave is the British Air Force." Harrell glanced roughly. Said after the content on the telegram.
