Iron Germany
Chapter 614: Attack
The first target of the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft was not the warship on the sea, but the British seaplane. After discovering the attack of the carrier-based aircraft of the German Navy, the seaplane originally used to perform reconnaissance missions took the lead in heroically rushing towards the German fleet.
Although, the number of these seaplanes is not large, there are less than twenty. At the same time, the performance in all aspects is quite different from that of the German fighters. But what is worthy of admiration is still their courage.
"Hoo!" A yellow flare went off into the air. It means that the fighters disperse the enemy's fighters and create conditions for the bombers and torpedo planes to attack.
The 24 fighter jets escorted immediately rushed to the British seaplane from high altitude.
"Da da da!"
Aviation machine guns began to fire, and the bullets hit the body of the British seaplane. The skin was pierced, and the wooden body was directly dismantled. One after another British seaplanes were shot down. In front of the German fighter jets, the British seaplanes looked so cumbersome and fragile.
This air battle is completely one-sided. As soon as the battle started, the British seaplanes paid a heavy price, and half of them were shot down. In the ensuing fight, the seaplanes of the British army were no match.
General John Jellicoe and Lieutenant General David Beatty looked at this scene with livid faces.
"They are all brave boys! It's a pity that we don't have aircraft with the same performance as the Germans. Otherwise, they wouldn't have lost so badly!" Admiral John Jellicoe said.
"Yes, Commander. The Germans are far ahead of us in the aviation industry." Lieutenant General David Beatty sighed.
No doubt they mourned the deaths of those heroic pilots. These pilots are brave people, knowing that they are invincible, they rushed to fight the Germans to the death. If it weren't for the performance of the aircraft that dragged them down, perhaps the battle would have been another result.
But in this world, there are not so many erections and ifs. Germany took the lead in investing a lot of money and manpower in the aviation industry, which made them lead the world in this field. It is precisely because of this that the German aircraft can hang the whole world in the war.
The sky soon ended, and all the seaplanes of the British army were shot down, and none survived. The entire air battle lasted no more than ten minutes. It can be said that in front of the German fighter planes, the seaplanes of the British army are like toddlers.
Subsequently, three signal flares were launched into the air, which represented an attack on the warships on the sea.
The fighter jets that shot down the British seaplanes took the lead in attacking. They used aviation machine guns to straf the decks and air defense positions of the battleships, clearing the way for subsequent attacks by bombers and torpedo planes.
"Shoot! Shoot!"
On the battleship 'Revenge', the flagship of the British Navy, the air defense commander was roaring loudly. Anti-aircraft guns modified with 1-pound guns and two-pound guns began to fire wildly.
Anti-aircraft machine guns also began to shoot violently, forming a dense fire net in the sky.
In order to avoid being unable to fight back when encountering German fighter planes. In the past two months, these capital ships have also installed anti-aircraft firepower while undergoing repairs.
However, because there is no actual combat experience. Therefore, the arrangement of their anti-aircraft firepower is still relatively messy. Basically, anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns are arranged wherever there is room. This made them deploy a lot of anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, but they failed to form a complete anti-aircraft firepower network.
"Da da da!" A fighter jet passed the battleship 'Revenge'. The aviation machine guns fired wildly, and the dense bullets hit the battleship, shooting out sparks one by one.
"Puff!" The bullet hit the human body, making that frightening sound. The screams became more and more one after another.
Aviation machine guns are already very powerful. Once they hit a human body, there is often only one result, which is torn to pieces.
When the German fighter jets passed by, the anti-aircraft firepower on the battleship almost chased the German fighter jets. However, their speed was still too slow to hit at all. On the contrary, a huge loophole appeared in their air defense network.
Four bombers attacked from a high altitude. They swooped down towards the battleship 'Revenge' obliquely, and dropped bombs when they were only more than 600 meters away from the sea. Four aerial bombs weighing 250 kilograms hit the battleship 'Revenge' in a parabola.
"Bomb, dodge!"
"Boom! Boom!" The explosion sounded, and three of the four bombs fell into the sea. After the explosion, a column of water splashed into the sky. But a bomb hit the battleship 'Revenge'. The weak deck armor couldn't withstand the aerial bombs under the blessing of kinetic energy at all, and was easily penetrated.
The bomb exploded inside the battleship, causing a raging fire.
Unfortunately, it was not able to hit the vital position. Otherwise, it would be enough for the battleship 'Revenge' to pay a considerable price.
When the bombers attacked, the torpedo planes did not sit idle. Taking advantage of the battleship 'Revenge' being attracted by the bombers, four torpedo attack planes rushed to a place only 500 meters away from the side of the battleship 'Revenge' before dropping the torpedoes.
Four torpedoes hit the sea and sank directly. Then it surfaced again. Then according to the fixed depth, it rushed to the battleship 'Revenge'.
"Torpedoes, four torpedoes were found on the port side! Urgently evade!" A mournful roar sounded.
The battleship 'Revenge' immediately began to evade in an emergency, trying to use the bow of the ship to align the direction of the torpedo attack to reduce the area where the bomb was hit.
Perhaps the battleship 'Revenge' had better luck, two of the four torpedoes were directly missed. The other one, because of a problem with the fixed depth, went directly under the belly of the 'Revenge'. The last one, although it hit the waterline armor of the battleship 'Revenge'. But it was not known what went wrong and there was no explosion. This spared the battleship 'Revenge'.
"Your Excellency, Commander, we hid. One torpedo passed through our battleship, and the other torpedo hit, but it didn't explode!" Lieutenant General David Betty looked delighted.
"God bless!" said Admiral John Jellicoe. However, the worry in his eyes did not diminish at all.
German planes are still attacking. Although the British warships began to fight back. However, it didn't have much effect.
"It seems that the aircraft carrier is the protagonist of the future naval battle!" Admiral John Jellicoe couldn't help expressing such emotion.
