First, this is a port, which means that although the warship partially sinks, the water depth is shallower and easier to salvage. In fact, if this is a good warship, even if the water depth is large in the high seas, even if the same hit is still not fatal. Although there is a lot of water inlet, the unfortunate part is that there is no damage to the engine compartment, because the hit is the upper part of the boiler compartment...&1t;/p>

As for the second point, although the explosion is powerful, it is not an armor-piercing bomb after all. Most of the really important cabins are retained, such as ammunition compartment, motor compartment and engine compartment, which are almost no fatal blows. After the battle, we can pick it up with the floating box and then repair it again. Of course, it is hard to say what will happen if we get two bombs again, but at this time, the remaining British bombers carrying ammunition have already targeted the United Force battleship that has left the port.&1t;/p>

The three O-4oo bombers of the Seventh Team flew over the United Power, and then, without any surprise, all three bombs were dodged by the Austro-Hungarian Navy flagship, which reached 15 knots. The horizontal bombing hit the moving targets sharply. In the open waters, the torpedo attack effect will be much better, but unfortunately, the British have already wasted too many torpedoes on the St. Istervan. However, even so, the situation of the United Power is still not optimistic.&1t;/p>

A total of 5 British bomber teams equipped with torpedoes launched attacks from both sides at the same time. Although they did not cooperate well, they still formed a cross attack. In less than a minute, 5 torpedoes weighing more than 5oo kilograms entered water from a distance of 80 meters to 50 meters on both sides of the warship. Driven by the motive, the propeller pushed the torpedo to fire at the target at a temperature of more than 35 knots per hour.&1t;/p>

The exhaust gas generated after combustion was sent out from the tail of the torpedo to form a white trail. In this round of attack, the United Power failed to completely avoid it. A torpedo hit the middle of the left side of the hull. Fortunately, the torpedo with a weight of only 11okg of explosives was very difficult to damage the warship with a good underwater defense system. After tearing a large hole of 5 square meters and bringing 650 tons of water inlet, the surging shock waves and shrapnel were finally blocked by the empty compartment behind the tank.&1t;/p>

The British horizontal bombers were indeed not efficient when attacking moving targets. In the subsequent round of attacks, only one bomb caused near loss. However, this time the United Power was also in good condition. The bomb landed in the middle of the right side of the hull and entered water at a distance of 25 meters. The shock wave generated by the explosion teared open several cracks on the starboard side of the United Power. It caused more than 40 tons of water inflow, which was nothing more than that. For this warship that was about to be repaired, its fate will probably continue to stay in a shipyard within the next two months.&1t;/p>

Some bombs inevitably destroyed some buildings around the port of Constantinople. Two warehouses and one factory were smashed by bombs, and some buildings also left dense gun holes.&1t;/p>

"St. Istvan is over, and the United Force was hit at least 2 torpedoes and 1 bomb." A moment later, Lieutenant Colonel Sols looked at the following telegram and nodded with satisfaction. Not to mention anything else, just sinking the St. Istvan is a very huge achievement! Battleships are almost impossible to supplement for the Allies, sinking one less. According to the statistical hit results, the other United Force may not be able to enter the battle within half a year. One attack eliminates the two battleships from the German combat sequence, which is already considered a completion of the mission for the B bomber group! At this time, there were only 3 of the up to 27 British bombers that were destroyed and seriously injured!&1t;/p>

In Lieutenant Colonel Sols's opinion, at this time, he and his B-club had completed the mission as long as they could go back safely. Unfortunately, the British had been staying in the port area for too long. When the O-4oo and FB27 bombers were about to climb and leave, the scimitar squadron that had arrived was waiting for them in the air of 15oo to 3oo meters!&1t;/p>

The first attack was the 7th and 9th teams after the joint force was completed. Two British bombers had just pulled the nose and were caught by two k-4j interceptors who had dived down from the air before they climbed to 50 meters.&1t;/p>

"Go to die! British man!" With the pilot's curse, the dense rain of bullets sprayed from six large-caliber machine guns formed an elliptical drop-off area in the air, accurately covering one of the bombers. In just 8 seconds, as the plane moved, hundreds of bullets roared, covering directly from the plane to the tail, and the first half of the entire plane was almost broken. With an explosion, the British plane could never go back, and the other Britain suffered the same fate. At the moment when the plane intersected, one of the poor o-4oo bombers was smashed and then plunged into the sea.&1t;/p>

The whistling German interceptor group made Lieutenant Colonel Sols frightened. Although it was the first time to see the professional interceptor of the Bavarian Air Force, the horror scene of the entire nose showering in flames made him realize the crisis at the first time. At this time, the British bomber troops had just completed the bombing, and the flight altitude was generally relatively low, and they were very dispersed, and they were in a state of very easy to attack.&1t;/p>

"Maybe, after I go back this time, there will be no more light sword bomber squadrons." Seeing that a FB27 bomber that was only 2 ooo meters away from me was directly blown into pieces. Lieutenant Colonel Sols finally issued an order to disperse the breakout. Generally, whether it is War 6 or Naval Battle, once this order is issued, it will basically be not far from the collapse! In fact, this is true. Shortly after the Bavarian Scimitar Interceptor Squadron entered the field, in less than 15 minutes, 7 twin bombers had been destroyed, 27 aircraft were released, and now 1 o have been hung. This loss rate is a bit shocking!&1t;/p>

However, this is just the beginning, not only the beginning of Sols' b-bomber group, but also the beginning of the first major blood loss of the entire British bomber force! The German interceptor group, which had already reacted, rushed towards all known British bombers like crazy under the guidance of the ground. The sea and air battle that lasted for a whole day was extremely bloody!&1t;/p>

Just as the two sides were fighting over Constantinople, the fleet of Count Lukner's fleet was also air strikes outside the port of Burgas in Bulgaria.&1t;/p>
