1187 Bombing 3
"Concentrate firepower to attack v15oo! The bombs they carry are too fatal!" After seeing these 4 bombers with a load of 2ooo pounds or above, Captain Wolfgang immediately took his five twin-k-4 seaplanes to intercept! Like a sophisticated cavalry, Wolfgang drove the plane to pass by the side of the British bomber group. Such a route was too large for British bombers and was difficult to aim. At the same time, German fighters could also attack the opponent's huge wings.&1t;/p>
Six twin aircraft passed by the British bomber formation in turn. When the two sides were 60 meters apart, dozens of machine guns on 16 V15oo and FB27 bombers interwoven a dense fire net in front of the German aircraft's tracks!&1t;/p>
"We were simply shuttled through the storm! But the raindrops were bullets! I saw a J-1 fighter with my own eyes torn to pieces by dense bullets, and I also personally experienced the feeling of dozens of bullets hitting the armored cockpit. There was a harsh sound of impact in my ears, and then you could see the wood chips flying outside the body, and the dense impact of bullets deformed the armor plate. I had no doubt that this steel plate would break at any time!" A German pilot recalled the scene at that time.&1t;/p>
The huge size brings unusual resistance to strike. Because the k-4s seaplane had to be equipped with a float, in order to reduce weight, the two 12.7mm large-caliber machine guns that were originally installed on the wing were unloaded. The firepower of the four machine guns was slightly insufficient! Wolfgang and his wingman attacked each time that they failed to completely solve the monster in front of them. The two planes fired at least the bullets forward, removing one-third of the upper wing on the left side of the plane, and the body was covered with bullet holes, but the latter still flew firmly to the target. Faced with a much larger number of bombers than them, Wolfgang was really a little desperate!&1t;/p>
"We feel powerless, we cannot provide enough shield for our fleet. I feel that we have done our best, but it is still useless. We are ready to give up and hand the fleet in the distance to the God of Destiny for judgment, but until we see..." Wolfgang described his mood and what he saw after the war.&1t;/p>
Just when he was about to give up intercepting this wave of v15oo bombers, he experienced a K-1 seaplane that quickly approached the opponent from the upper part of the British bomber, and then almost designed firepower in an oblique direction to press the plane downward. The fighter swiftly dived at an angle of 45 degrees, aiming directly at a v15oo bomber 7 oo meters away!&1t;/p>
"This is a madman!" A British pilot looked at the German plane with fire all over his body and rushed towards the wingman beside him. In just a dozen seconds, the J-1 seaplane successfully hit the huge nose of the V15oo bomber!&1t;/p>
Boom! The violent collision instantly smashed the German plane to pieces. The remaining fuel from the ignited body spread to the British bomber's body with the help of this fire! This v15oo bomber fell straight to the sea like a giant beast with its head broken! Two minutes later, accompanied by a shocking loud noise, a wide water curtain rose from the sea.&1t;/p>
Faced with a fierce air raid that was caught off guard, the fighting spirit and tactics of the German high seas fleet's aviation forces in this battle with huge power differences shocked both sides. This time the impact seemed to have opened a head. After a few minutes, the pilot Lieutenant Paul flew a injured j-1s aircraft and knocked off the half-wing of an O-4oo bomber. However, this time he hit it very skillfully.&1t;/p>
The pilot approached the target plane and broke the wings of the bomber with his wheels! Although the plane was seriously damaged, it was at least saved its name, right?&1t;/p>
"When everyone is fulfilling their duties, we should not and must not retreat! The weaker comrades are desperate for victory with their bodies and lives. We have better weapons but are considering retreating. This is definitely a shame as a soldier! I swear, this is the first time I have this idea and the last time!" Wolfgang also wrote in his future memoir.&1t;/p>
A large number of aircraft on both sides fought desperately in a space of hundreds of square kilometers, covering an area of hundreds of square kilometers, from the sea to the air, hundreds of aircraft were fighting wildly, hundreds of machine guns of various types roaring desperately. During this period, bullets of six figures were shot out, and dense rain of bullets teared up the unfortunate guys, and in just a few seconds, they were torn to pieces by the brutal firepower. From time to time, planes fell from the air with flames. Pilots on both sides used their blood donation and loyalty to interpret the efforts and costs of the two empires for victory!&1t;/p>
During this battle, the German navy's seaplane troops were shot down by about half of the total. Although the British lost in terms of number, the number of people lost and the value of the aircraft was much higher than that of the Luftwaffe. The cost of an O-4oo twin bomber was as high as 9ooo pounds, and the cost of a J-1k fighter was only less than 2ooo pounds if converted into pounds.&1t;/p>
Of course, more importantly, through the German pilot's sacrificial attack, many British bombers dropped bombs in a hurry, which was equivalent to reducing the threat of British bombers to the German fleet in disguise. However, even so, even though it was caught off guard, the German fleet still paid a relatively heavy loss.&1t;/p>
The first thing to break through the defense was an O-4oo bomber. When the German aircraft focused most of its energy on a sky giant like V15oo, an O-4oo quickly approached the German fleet from a height of 2oo meters with the help of the sea background. Fortunately, the British were lucky enough that after throwing the bomb, the bomb formed a jumping effect. The bomb jumped over the sea and then jumped over, and then jumped up and hit a light cruiser that had no time to dodge!&1t;/p>
This high-explosive bomb weighing 1ooo pounds is absolutely extraordinary. It is like being hit by a heavy torpedo with a terrifying charge of medicine. The entire hull was blown into pieces. From the air, the side of the warship surrounded by gunpowder and flames seemed to be gnawed by some kind of marine beast! The damage caused by the explosives weighing 27okg invalidated the underwater defense system of any light cruiser. Just three minutes later, the light cruiser with a displacement of 45oo tons sank into the seabed.&1t;/p>
