2254 The final battle 1

"Brothers, the meal has been served, now we're here!" After finding the target, the Tiger Shark Squadron flew quickly to the target, so the first land-based air force against the sea in the Norwegian naval battle kicked off!

"It's the German bomber!" The lookout on the mast immediately discovered the German bomber group that was approaching quickly from the northeast. There was no way for these killers from the air!

"Appointment, the fleet will be widened, and light cruisers and destroyers will prepare for air defense operations." At this time, Thomas could only issue a symbolic combat order. The real air defense effect depends on luck!

Half of the 24 k8 bombers of the Tiger Shark Squadron were bombers, and the other half were torpedoes. The bombers carried 2 500kg bombs, while the torpedoes carried one 750kg torpedo or two 450kg level torpedoes... So, a total of 24 500kg bombs and more than a dozen torpedoes left the Thomas fleet's first drop of blood on the way to escape!

"Reduce the altitude! Down to 200 meters! Maintain speed and sail! Don't be afraid of the British anti-aircraft guns, they have been completely wiped out!" In the cockpit of the k8 bomber, the captain kept saying that in this era, bombers attacked rapidly moving targets with very low hit rate, so the Germans used bombing method to group 4 bombers, passing by the side of the warship, and then "cover" the target with dense bombs in neat formation.

This requires that a formation of bombers should be as dense as possible, and at the same time, the long-aircraft unit must have very high quality. After all, the signal of the bomb drop was sent by him. The accuracy of the first bomb of the long-aircraft directly determines the accuracy of the subsequent bomb... So the long-aircraft, who served as the first wave of attack, boldly reduced the altitude to 200 meters, and then 150 meters! The speed dropped to 80 kilometers per hour! and tried to ensure the course.

However, even though the German Air Force has done a lot of preparations, the bombing effect of the K8 bomber is still not good in the face of Gaohang's agile battlecruiser! The Germans' first target was the Battlecruiser of the Ultimate, and the long aircraft threw the first group of bombs 200 meters away from the Ultimate. However, this unsuccessful attack was destined to not be very good in the subsequent attack. Eight 500kg bombs were used to blow up water columns.

However, the attack effect of the second formation was very good. Four k8 bombers flew over at an altitude less than 100 meters from the sea, and the long aircraft dropped the bomb almost against the mast of the Indomitable Rod!

"I can clearly see all the details on this war-ridden warship, the quadrilaterally deployed turrets, the bullet marks of trade, the destroyed cabins, and even the people running on it. They fired at us with their only remaining machine guns. I can feel that we were hit, sparks ejected from the fuselage, and the fuselage was slightly shaking, but no matter what, we finally threw the bomb down! One of the shots accurately landed in the middle of the hull of the Unrequited, and we hit ten rings!" The pilot of the second formation after the war recalled the scene at that time.

"The power of the 500kg half-armor-piercing bomb is very powerful. We hit the chimney part of the Ultimate Chimney. I could clearly see the bomb easily drilling into the hull. When we left, a fire flashed on the Ultimate battleship. With a loud bang, the entire chimney and large upper deck were annoyed by the violent explosion. Flames and black smoke surged out of the hull. The impact of the explosion could even be felt on the plane. This was the first bomb we hit, and then my crew hit the second one!"

The second bomb hit the bow of the Forbidden Boat. The powerful bomb almost broke the already incomplete bow of the warship from the hull! The slender bow of the battlecruiser seemed to be pressed into the water by a pair of big hands and then crushed!

After the two bombings, the attack of torpedo aircraft is the attack of the torpedo aircraft, both of which are 4. Without interference, the attack of the torpedo aircraft is obviously much more accurate than that of the heavy bomber in horizontal bombing! After all, the bomb is thrown in three-dimensional motion, and after the torpedo is thrown into the water, it is a plane motion...

Compared with the result of 16 bombs from 8 aircraft and 16 bombs in two rounds, the German bomber achieved a very good record in the first wave of attacks! The four bombers carried 8 450kg torpedoes in a fan shape, gathering with each other about 100 meters, and quickly slashed at their opponents like a scimitar!

"The second round of attacks is launched at intervals of 10 seconds after the first round of attack!" Before launching the attack, the long aircraft repeated the previous order again. Large bombers can carry multiple torpedoes. In previous experiments, the Germans found that the probability of a torpedo dropping two torpedoes in one attack was higher than the probability of lightning hitting two smaller aircraft respectively. Therefore, this time, the Luftwaffe specially asked some large bombers to carry two smaller torpedoes to participate in the battle to verify whether such a tactic is available in actual combat.

The actual situation is very good! Although the 8 torpedoes were dropped in two groups, the speed of the torpedoes was slow after all, so the 8 torpedoes formed a complete and dense attack fan! Even though it was an agile battle cruiser, after struggling to avoid 5 torpedoes, he was finally hit 3! Although it was a 450kg torpedo, it was deadly enough for the first battle cruiser of the British!

The water columns generated by the explosion after the torpedo hit rose one after another next to the poor warship. The violent explosion tore off the entire hull plate. Even the two torpedoes with relatively close hit distance successfully left a large 40-meter crack on the Fortune! The Poor Fortune seemed to be broken!

"We seem to have completed the mission and can leave precious ammunition to other warships." The captain of the Tiger Shark Squadron said with relief at his first battle results. However, just as he was about to continue attacking other warships, a telegram was sent to him.

"What a joke? Let's go to the British aircraft carrier team? Isn't there any other aircraft group? It would be better if we continue to stay on this battlefield, right?" a subordinate said in confusion.

"Maybe there are other considerations above. Of course, this is not what we need to know. We only need to know that the order is our future king, and he has never let us down. That's all." The Tiger Shark Squadron belongs to Bavaria. With the rising reputation of Crown Prince Ruprecht, the Bavarian citizens are even more respectful. Even if the orders of the Crown Prince are a bit unreasonable, they will implement them. As for the purpose of this forwarding telegram, it is naturally not to let the Air Force beat Thomas too badly. After all, Earl Spey now has only 3 to 4 killing places!
