Chapter 1223 Thunder in the Sky
"The Russian fleet shows signs of departure, and we cannot observe the details, but the scale may be the main fleet." Just as the count was having supper, the telegram from the submarine ub-15 was sent to the count's dining table.&1t;/p>
"What are the Russians trying to do?" The more the Earl felt something was wrong. The large fleet was dispatched tonight? What do they want to do? Do they fight night battles? The mine formation outside the port taught them how to be human first. The Earl shook his head. Although there were no heavy artillery on the Port of Earleli, the defensive minefield outside was enough to buy time for the fleet to unfold. So in the Earleli's opinion, Earleli seemed impossible, and Constantinople was even more impossible. That was Turkey. It was not the Earl who looked down on the Russians. Just the Russian fleet, it was probably not that good at shooting at the shore artillery in Constantinople.&1t;/p>
"They aren't staring at Lukner's fleet, are they?" the Count frowned and thought. Lukner's fleet only had one fearless and two armored cruisers. The Russians were two fearless and four front fearless. The latter had some advantages. If sneak attacks were included, then maybe they could really bite a piece of meat!&1t;/p>
"But this is also a chance!" The Count put down the telegram in his hand. "If the Russians really come out, then we will act, tell Major General Lukner to be careful. Then we will act, tomorrow! But this time, we will go to the Russians' doorstep to block them!"&1t;/p>
So, a chaotic mobilization kicked off the war. The Russian fleet was preparing to bring down the Port of Erelli to take advantage of the situation. Earl Spee believed that the Russians might go to trouble Count Lukner. Earl Lukner's plan to go to Romania was interrupted. He began to think about how to welcome the Russian fleet. His fearless battleship and two armored cruisers had the advantage of navigation!&1t;/p>
Of course, these are not important. What really determines the direction of this battle is the gods of death flying in the air! At 2 a.m., the four British airports on the Akti Peninsula began to release the eagles that had been preparing for a long time! There are three bombers in total. The bombers attacking Erely were dispatched first. They were scattered to Erely with the help of 2 to 3 guided aircraft. What? Why not go together? What are you thinking? Set up a large formation at night? Let's talk about it when it comes to the second battle.&1t;/p>
"This attack will surely be recorded in history, whether it is successful or not." Sitting in the huge cabin of the V15oo 4 bomber, Colonel Short, who was responsible for attacking Port Erelli, said with great emotion. Concentrating so many bombers to bomb a target is a breakthrough for the British Airways team! The number may not be the largest, but in terms of equipment value and attack distance, the British set a record!&1t;/p>
The two bomber squadrons directly under Colonel Schott will complete the formation after taking off, and then navigate the intermittent sides of several radio signal stations. There must be errors in doing so. So how can we fly to Port Erely? It's very simple. After the daytime, determine your position based on the ground signs! Otherwise, why did British reconnaissance aircraft spend so long to reconnaissance? Isn't it just to let all the crews involved in the bombing go around the target area? Now when we leave, we are in a formation. After a few hours of flight, half of them can still be held together! Don't look at the planes in the air with taillights and wing lights to assist in flight, but these are all false. The British have tried it, and these things can only reduce the probability of collision. Navigation? Forget it. Maybe in the blink of an eye, the plane in front will be submerged in the dark!&1t;/p>
Almost all the lighting facilities at the airport were turned on. In the environment like daylight, the elites of the British Air Force successfully sent these big guys loaded with torpedoes and bombs to the sky. In this era, the climbing of aircraft was a time-consuming and labor-intensive task. In order to climb to a height of 25oo meters, the V15oo bomber loaded with 8oogg torpedoes and the FB27 bomber loaded with 5oogg bombs climbed for half an hour... Then, the huge aircraft formed a scattered formation in the air, and then flew towards the southeast target with the help of the guide plane!&1t;/p>
The entire aircraft takeoff process lasted about 50 minutes. The formation took nearly 45 minutes. After burning hundreds of kilograms of gasoline, the British bomber formation had just embarked on the journey! Huge gray god of death merged into the night sky, and only the flashing taillights marked their flight trajectory. The huge wings were like the spreading wings of the god of death, and the torpedoes and bombs hanging under the belly were the god of death's sickle! The night was woven into their gray cloak, and aviation technology, and its hideousness was revealed on the battlefield from the moment they staggered out of the cradle!&1t;/p>
During the long flight, Colonel Schott even had the pleasure of opening the kettle. Of course, it was impossible to have wine inside, but it was cooked Ceylon black tea. Think about it, the British could stuff a teapot into the Challenger Type 2 tank, which shows the plot of the British black tea. In a few hours, except for the navigator and the pilot who needed to constantly verify the flight route, the rest were mostly relaxed.&1t;/p>
"Ma Dan, I lost a few more." When Colonel Short looked behind, he found that several planes that were supposed to be in the northwest direction were no longer visible. Because the wing lights that were originally shining like stars were gone! Although I had expected it, I lost about one-third of my teammates after just halfway through the flight, which still made the colonel very depressed.&1t;/p>
Of course, it is also possible that you have gone the wrong way and your teammates have gone the right way. Before coming, Lieutenant General Trenchard emphasized that you should trust instruments and radios, rather than based on your own feelings! This is right. The effect of eyes at night is very limited. It is difficult to follow the lights in front of you, because you don’t know when the plane will drill into the clouds and then look dark. At this time, all you can do is to confirm your approximate position based on the radio direction measurement, and then wait during the day, and finally determine your course based on the ground signs!&1t;/p>
So, when the first ray of sunlight on the sky shines on the earth, you will definitely not be able to see the target. The correct way to do this is to find the sign on the ground, then determine your location, and then fly over according to the map. "I hope it won't be much worse." Colonel Short said after taking a sip of black tea.&1t;/p>
The huge V15oo bomber is flying slowly in the air at a 90km per hour. The 4 surging power provided by the Eagle V12 motive produced by Reus Rolls promotes the behemoth with a take-off weight of up to 12 tons. The most powerful aerial beast of this era elegantly crosses the night sky, opening a new page for history.&1t;/p>
