Chapter 1110: Worry
"The UK seems to have an idea of our previous band, but nothing about our new band, and their plane already has a range close to that of an airship, which must have flown from its homeland, probably at least 300 kilometres. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Scheer said with some concern.
And the trouble is just the beginning, the interference of this V1500 is just that the German Navy started the backup band communication as soon as possible, if it is already very unpleasant, when this guy continues to fly for half an hour, after appearing over the high seas fleet, it makes the entire fleet feel extremely unhappy! No one can stand a plane bobbing over their head and constantly informing their opponents of their whereabouts.
"Send a seaplane to deal with it." Looking at the dark shadow in the sky in the distance, Lieutenant General Scheer frowned slightly and said.
"Whatever, if anyone can knock down this thing, I'll give him a 3-level promotion!" The prince said indifferently, it's not that the prince really sees the V1500 as nothing. But there is really no way, the performance of the J-1 fighter after the addition of pontoons is greatly reduced, while the twin-engine seaplane has, but it may not fly as high as the V1500. What's more, even if you can catch up? If you want to rely on one plane and two machine guns to take out a big guy with a maximum take-off weight of nearly 14 tons, this requires more luck, right?!
Two Helgrand-class battleships, located in the rear of the fleet, launched 4 seaplanes of the J-1S type. As the captain, Homan leads his teammates to attack the behemoth. Control your speed for a slow climb, and use the cover of the clouds to get closer to the big guy.
"It's a legendary dragon." It was only when Hohmann's plane approached that he really felt the oppression of the British plane. The airfield of his K-1S aircraft is less than 7 meters, and the wings are only more than 9 meters wide. And the guy on the other side is more than 2 times the length and 4 times the width of himself! It is impossible to say that Homan is not afraid, and looking at the machine gun like a dragon's barbed and the metal parts that glow with cold light, Homan feels a sense of tension and excitement at the same time!
This guy is big, but it doesn't fly slowly, and the four 320 hp engines allow the plane to fly at a speed of about 170 kilometers per hour (the first 275 hp engines in history have a maximum speed of 159 km/h). This speed was not much different from that of the J-1S seaplanes with pontoons, and the two planes that tried to attack from the rear eventually missed the target.
ANOTHER AIRCRAFT THAT TRIED TO ATTACK HEAD-ON CRASHED HEAD-ON INTO THE V1500'S NOSE MACHINE GUN TOWER, AND THE TONGUES OF FIRE FROM THE FOUR 7.7MM MACHINE GUNS DIRECTLY SMASHED THE PLANE TO PIECES. Captain Homan, on the other hand, took advantage of the clouds and the dive of the aircraft to launch a successful attack.
CAPTAIN HORMAN ENTERED FROM THE FRONT OF THE OPPONENT, THE NOSE OF THE MACHINE WAS SLIGHTLY PRESSED, AND A 12.7MM MACHINE GUN AND A 7.92MM MACHINE GUN POURED HUNDREDS OF ROUNDS OF BULLETS AT THE HUGE FUSELAGE OF THE V1500 IN LESS THAN HALF A MINUTE. However, this did not work, and under the attack of the two machine guns on the top machine gun tower, Captain Homan could only immediately pull up and dodge the attack. However, after dodging, it may not be so easy to attack again, so the other party decided to slip away.
"The British should already know about us, right?" Scheer said with some concern.
"Let the light cruiser detachments on both sides make the warning area larger, and then let Hipper go faster, and we will expand the warning area." The prince said.
And at this time, Hipper, who was in front, was also in trouble and managed the first air raid ever! A V1500 bomber flew over Hipper's fleet from an altitude of 2,500 meters and symbolically dropped five 250-pound bombs on the fleet! Although at this altitude the detachment of battlecruisers, which attacked at a speed of about 24 knots, had almost no hits to speak of, there was an exception to everything, and one of the bombs fell less than 50 meters next to Hipper's flagship, the Cedritz! The huge column of water from the bomb makes it feel like a large-caliber cannonball has fallen! Looking at the water column dozens of meters high that exploded next to him, Hipper's face was difficult to see home.
TO BE REASONABLE, THE CHARGE OF SUCH A BOMB IS GENERALLY MORE THAN 60KG. This thing can't hit a battleship, but if it hits a light cruiser, it's not a joke. And looking up at the huge fuselage of the British aircraft, if you want to say that this thing can hold 500KG or even larger bombs, Hipper believes it! As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are only afraid of what if, if a 500KG bomb hits your ship, then the situation is really difficult to say.
In fact, even if it can't penetrate the armor box, the 500KG high-explosive bomb can still cause a lot of damage to the battleship of this plane, not to mention anything else, at least the explosives are ....... Hipper does not have enough seaplanes like the main fleet, and can hit twice if necessary, the 3 capital ships have a total of 9 seaplanes, of which 6 have been sent out to reconnoitre, and the remaining 3 are in reserve.
"It's really bad to see that you can't fight!" Hipper was very upset when he looked at the V1500 bomber swaggering past him. Although the 88MM anti-aircraft guns on ships such as Cedritz also fired at the air, the air defense of this era was not very reliable, especially when the battleship was moving at high speed, the anti-aircraft shells were like fireworks, and then there was no use.
"If the British can send bombers here, then it won't be difficult to take off from the south of England to bomb Williamshaven, right? From now on, I am afraid that we will have to face a completely new combat situation. Hippert thought a little more, looking at the bombs that fell into the fleet from the sky, Hipperer had already thought about what to do if one day, British bombers came to Wilhelmshaven, you know, in the harbor German warships were stationary!
In fact, in history, British naval aviation did raid German ports, and the most unbearable thing was that two not advanced bombers bombed the airship warehouses in the German military ports, but dozens of kilograms of bombs actually ......burned down two airship warehouses more than 200 meters long. Then the British plane went back with all the beards and tails.
However, in today's aviation showdown, the German Navy was not completely deflated, among the seaplanes that came out, 2 J-1S seaplanes successfully killed a British seaplane, and discovered the British avant-garde fleet approaching at high speed. When it was about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the avant-garde of the two sides finally came into contact!
