Chapter 1239: Fleet Engagement 3

As for the engagement that followed, it can be described as one-sided, and after feeling the Yevstalin, the Reshadiye aimed its main guns at the former's fellow ship, the John Chrysostom. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info and this weak chicken did not fight for a long time, and after 10 minutes of entering the effectiveness of the shot, the Reshadiye smashed at least half a dozen shells on the hull of the quasi-dreadnought, and the boiler compartment was hit twice, and after two astonishing explosions, none of the boilers were spared, and the huge shock wave tore through the compartment above the boiler compartment and knocked down two chimneys directly. The fire was out of control, and the fire began to spread throughout the battleship.

"From the surface of the battleship to the lowest deck, almost every compartment was filled with smoke and flames, and the corpses of suffocation and burns were everywhere, making it almost a morgue. The battleship shook and struggled under the German bombardment, and the sound of the armor plate being torn and collapsing constantly irritated our ears, and we crawled through the dark cabin just to escape before the iron coffin sank into the sea. After the war, a Russian officer aboard the John Chrysostom recalled the scene.

Eventually, the battleship was forced to disengage 20 minutes after the Reshadier opened fire on it, and was then brought down by the onrushing destroyer with three torpedoes at a distance of 800 meters. It became the second Russian capital ship to be sunk in this naval battle.

Although there were some twists and turns, the battle continued as the Germans had expected, and the German battleships were heavily damaged and then killed. However, at this time, the situation on the battlefield changed somewhat, and the scimitar squadron in the sky could not stop the British bombers.

Captain Wolfstein, the leader of the scimitar squadron, once again bit a British bomber, and if he could shoot it down, then this would be his fourth result of the day! AS HE HAD DONE BEFORE, HE EASILY BIT AN FB27 BOMBER, ENTERED FROM THE SIDE AND REAR, AVOIDED MOST OF THE OPPONENT'S SELF-DEFENSE FIRE, AND THEN EASILY PULLED THE TRIGGER, AND WITH A SLIGHT VIBRATION, SIX 12.7MM MACHINE GUNS SMOOTHLY FIRED HUNDREDS OF BULLETS AT THE BEHEMOTH IN FRONT.

HOWEVER, THIS TIME, THE TORRENT OF ATTACKS DID NOT LAST LONG, AND AFTER ONLY 3 SECONDS, THE TWO 12.7MM MACHINE GUNS LOCATED UNDER THE WINGS STOPPED FIRING. AND 2 SECONDS LATER, THE 4 12.7MM MACHINE GUNS IN THE NOSE ALSO ACCOMPANIED BY A SERIES OF LOCKS TO TELL THEIR OWNERS THAT THE AMMUNITION HAD RUN OUT!

"Damn, if I knew that, I should have stuffed an MG09 in the cockpit!" Wolfstein banged angrily on the cockpit. "Boy, I'll fly over the front in a moment, force your rear-firing machine gun, and finish this guy! I will never allow this prey to run away or become someone else's record! The captain said to the telegraph operator and shooter in the back seat.

"Oh my God, I guess there's no chance!" THE COLLEAGUE IN THE BACK SEAT LOOKED AT THE MG09 7.92MM MACHINE GUN IN HIS HAND AND COULDN'T HELP BUT WAIL.

And Wolfstein is in the same situation as most of the combat opportunities of the Scimitar Squadron - there is not enough ammunition! A K-4 bomber has about 3,000 rounds of ammunition, and a more powerful pilot can solve a target with about 700 rounds. That's right, don't look at the machine gun when attacking, it's a pleasure, but the ammunition command rate is around 5%. Don't talk about the worse level. So after the scimitar squadron destroyed and damaged 22 bombers, at least half of the interceptors had the problem of running out of ammunition. And at this time, there are at least no less than this number of British bombers coming from all directions!

The Briton on the other side also seemed to realize that the latter was out of ammunition, and as the two planes staggered, a British pilot pointed his machine gun at Wolfstein, but did not shoot. And this kind of action made the German pilot angry!

"I swear! Absolute! Absolute! I won't let you go! "The angry squadron leader made the pilot in the back seat parachute and drove the plane himself into a successful mid-air crash! Once again, the K4-J interceptor flew past the damaged FB27 bomber, and one wing was lifted and slashed straight at the left wing of the bomber like a razor!

There can only be one result of the collision of wood, the wing of the K4-J interceptor was broken by a third, and the wing of the poor FB27 bomber was directly destroyed in half, and the scattered wooden bars smashed the support column and the engine, and in just a dozen seconds, the plane could only plunge headlong with half of the wing! A moment later, it turned into a flame.

"Alright, gather all the planes that can come over, and we will launch an air attack together, this is our best chance, the German interceptors are already at the end of their crossbows. Our teammates are also basically in line, and the German fleet is fighting the Russian Mediterranean fleet, which is a very good situation. "It was at this time that a team of Colonels Short, who had not been directly engaged in the battle, finally gave the order to attack,

At this time, 15 V1500 bombers and 7 FB27s were already concentrated around him. This is already the result of Colonel Short waiting next to the battlefield for more than 1 hour! As many as 22 bombers lined up in close formation in the air, like a group of hedgehogs hugging each other, it was impossible to start. Many bomber pilots did not choose to huddle after receiving Colonel Short's order, they just saw these bombers piled together, and the Germans did not dare to come up, so they flew ......over. At the beginning, the Scimitar squadron's massacre of British bombers really left a terrifying impression on them!

"Aren't we going to wait any longer?" An officer sitting in the back seat asked.

"There's no need. When we came out, there were 4 squadrons with a total of 62 bombers of various kinds, and now at least 20 have been killed, and we have 22 in our hands, and the rest of the planes either broke down or went the wrong way....... Colonel Short said,

Short really deserves to be an old fritter in the Royal Air Force, his assessment of the situation is very correct, it is now more than 1 hour later than expected, in addition to the V1500 four-engine bomber, the remaining fuel amount of whether it is FB27 or O-400 bomber should be running out, there is still hope to fly back directly, if it is delayed for a while, not to mention whether the Germans can knock them down, they themselves estimate that they will not be able to fly back. And now, there are already 15 V1500s, and there are very few that have not come over except for the ones that have been destroyed! Let's start fighting when almost everyone arrives, the more time passes, the greater the variables!
