"I will never forget the scene when I faced the German navy anti-aircraft guns for the first time. We were the first attack aircraft. There were 6 aircraft in total. We walked through the bullet rain. You can see the sidestrings of the German battleships like shark teeth. Generally dense anti-aircraft artillery. They fired frantically. The three warships fired from our front and both sides at the same time, forming a dense cross fire. After the bomb exploded, it would produce gray-black explosion points, dozens of them around the explosion point. Rice will be filled with shrapnel. Like a blossoming flower of death, we flew between the shrapnel, and two of our colleagues were killed 2000 meters away from each other."
"The final 2000 meters is the most dangerous. The German firepower has increased several times! The smaller-caliber anti-aircraft artillery fired. The orange-red bullets filled our vision. The bullets whizzed past us, and from time to time On the plane, I saw with my own eyes that the planes of our two colleagues were like cows and sheep thrown into a piranha pool. They were hit by dense bullets and then torn apart in the blink of an eye. In the end, only we successfully flew. It reached the target and dropped the bomb. This bomb was a near-missing bomb and did not cause much damage."
"After throwing away the bomb, I started to evacuate quickly. Suddenly, my plane shook suddenly. Then I turned my head and looked at the back of the plane. I saw a scene that chilled my heart so far. The entire tail was knocked out. The bombardier in the back seat was reached a beehive, and he lay down in the cockpit covered in blood, half of his body was gone, and the plane began to fall. Fortunately, I made a crash landing and luckily survived. All my colleagues Died in this battle.” A British pilot recalled the scene like this.
"The Seagull Squad is over!" After the first wave of attacks was easily resolved, Major Short knew that he could not wait any longer. Separating the attacks was simply killing him, so he decisively put all the remaining 14 aircraft into battle. 8 bombers and 6 torpedo planes attacked at the same time. The bombers started to perform a downward bombing from a height of 500 meters, while the torpedo planes were divided into two groups to attack from the sea at a height of 50 meters in two directions, ready to attack!
However, this time, the British still have some ways. Attacking from different heights and different directions can effectively disperse the firepower of the defender. The artillery that originally fired violently at one height and one direction was scattered to several directions and heights. The firepower density It dropped a few grades in an instant, but in this wave of attacks, the British's attacks still exerted some effects.
Two of the four bombers that entered the second batch finally flew over the Joint Force. With the bombs on the pylons roaring down, one bomb successfully slammed into the A turret of the Joint Force. The explosion smashed the two machine gun groups above together with the rangefinder on the turret, and there was also a problem with the hydraulic equipment of the artillery on one side.
In the second round of the attack, a bomb fell on the left deck, and accompanied by a blaze that soared into the sky, it blew up a large chunk of the originally dense fire cannon array. Crowds of soldiers fell in a pool of blood, and the original awe-inspiring anti-aircraft guns also turned into piles of twisted scrap iron under the attack of bombs. High-explosive bombs weighing 500 pounds should not be underestimated. The power of explosives up to nearly 100 kilograms is still amazing, sweeping personnel and artillery within 30 meters in diameter! This blow provided an opportunity for the British torpedo aircraft that entered subsequently!
"Stay! Don't worry about the opponent's anti-aircraft guns." Major Short said loudly while controlling the torpedo plane to draw an elegant arc in the air. Countless shells chased the plane's track, and dense bullets hit the plane. Water jets splashed on the surrounding sea, but Major Short still controlled the plane steadily. The original heavy cuckoo torpedo was like a light seagull in his hand. One of the two wingmen next to it has been destroyed, and the other has given up its attack. Now only he and the other three-plane squad are still capable of attacking!
"Boom!" Not far away, a burst of explosion made him feel a tremor in his heart, who was completely absorbed. He subconsciously looked into the distance. An English cuckoo torpedo was hit by too many machine gun bullets, and he couldn't finish it. On the last leg, it plunged into the sea less than 700 meters from the Joint Force. The other two aircraft were in very bad condition. One of the fuselages was full of bullet holes and the other was hit. Drop the small half of the wing!
"Fight!" Looking at the huge battleship in the distance, Major Short rushed bravely, letting the dense bullets hit his body and sifting the radio operator in the back seat. He only wanted himself to be in. The torpedo was successfully shot in the last part of the road, and then a deep crack was left on the opposite monster!
The three torpedoes were separated from the body almost at the same time. The 400KG torpedo successfully started the engine after entering the water. The exhaust gas discharged after the oxygen and fuel entered the combustion chamber formed white marks on the back of the torpedo. The British dedication is here. It was revealed for a moment, they even approached the joint force less than 500 meters before throwing the torpedo As the torpedo shot out, one of the planes simply fell into the sea. The previous penetration has already allowed It was hit too hard. Major Short's plane was not able to evade the disaster too much. When he pulled up the plane to evacuate, a series of 20MM cannon shells penetrated the side of the cockpit and directly cut him into two sections. The last torpedo after a successful mine was overtaken by an American fighter jet when it evacuated, and then it was broken into pieces.
Boom! A torpedo hit the middle of the hull of the United Forces, and a water column of more than 30 meters high rose into the air. Count Spey could feel his warship sway, and then when the spray had not completely fallen, the warship returned to normal.
"The two compartments of the side string were damaged, and the water intake was 300 tons. Now the maintenance operation has started and there is no major problem." After a while, the person responsible for the damage management reported the damage.
"Is this attack over? The British air strikes don't look great. Or is it that the aircraft carrier is just an auxiliary force after all?" After half an hour, there was no British aircraft in the sky. Most were destroyed and a few retreated. As the sun sets, the red sunset has dyed the entire surface of the sea. Today's battle is over. Everyone can relax for a while, whether they are British or Germans.
"This time we are just a little lucky. The cruel war has just begun. But we have a good start." The count said in a deep voice.
