The squadron of scimitars, which are waiting in the base to take off, is obviously a little too late! So the interceptors of part of the Night Scythe squadron, which was on standby over Constantinople, could only rush to Herreli immediately. After all www.biquge.info the K-4J interceptor is the foundation of the twin-engine bomber, not to mention that the fuel is still enough, so the ambush net arranged by Captain Harley was directly torn off by the Germans themselves in the face of emergencies, and the whole 2 squads of 12 twin-engine fighters flew to the southeast. There are only 12 twin-engine fighters on standby in the air for the time being! And at this time, the British's B group killed over!

"I saw him! It's St. István! He's on slipway 3! It's next to the tower crane, yes, I saw him! "When Lieutenant Colonel Solse's FB-27 bomber flew through the harbor south of Constantinople, he saw at a glance the Austro-Crènate Super Intrepid St. István, which was being repaired in the harbor, and the poor battleship could not even move, so it had to stay there and wait for the approval of fate!

The fact that Group B of the Royal Air Force entered the battlefield was actually very good! At this time, the K-4J interceptors of the two squads that had been circling over the port had already flown towards Herreli, and the scimitar squadron at the base was preparing to take off. And because the British took advantage of the cover of the clouds, for a time the other two patrol squads did not even arrive, and they had about 15 to 20 minutes before the German fighters came!

"Steady, must be steady, don't be in a hurry, as long as we can play at the level we deserve, then we will be the first flying squadron to sink the battleship!" Lieutenant Colonel Solsi kept reminding the bombardiers in front.

Under the frightened gaze of the Turks, the first group of 6 bombers divided into two squads and entered the bombing route, and the British pilot carefully controlled the flight attitude of the aircraft, the nose of the plane was slightly pressed down to 15 degrees, and then began to slide and dive from a height of 3,000 meters. The huge plane was compressed into the air as it flew at high speed, emitting bursts of screeching sounds, accompanied by the roar of the engines. An indescribable sound wave echoed over the harbor.

1500 meters, 1200 meters, 900 meters! 700 meters! Great, that's it! The British bombardier put his eyes on the eyepiece of the bomb scope. At the same time, it constantly adjusts according to the course and speed. The huge bomber was flattened immediately after sliding to a height of 400 meters, and after getting used to a slight overweight, the plane entered through the rear of the hull of the St. Istvan, and when the huge hull almost covered the cross zone of the positive sight, the bombardier pulled down the handle!

The 1,000-pound bomb detached from the pylons and whizzed towards the target below, and the bomber jumped slightly upwards due to the sudden reduction in weight. Three British bombers dropped bombs at the same time, and the three bombs covered the battleship below in a pinch!

Boom, a huge fire mixed with a large amount of rubble and smoke flew into the air dozens of meters into the air, and the bomb hit a breakwater next to the berth. Hundreds of kilograms of explosives left a huge gap directly in the towering breakwater.

What really caused damage to this battleship was the second bomb, which landed on the front of the hull of the St. István, and the heavy bomb left a large opening of dozens of square meters directly on the upper deck of the hull, after penetrating 2 decks in a row, the highly sensitive fuse and picric acid explosives collided with the dome armor, and in an instant, a huge fireball erupted from the middle bomb, countless deck fragments and steel structures were thrown into the air, and the compartments were damaged by huge shock waves and flames, Even the thin armor belt in the front of the hull was torn from the inside, opening a gap several meters long. The influx of hundreds of tons of seawater made the bow of this battleship almost hit the bottom!

The third bomb landed at a distance of 100 meters from the battleship, well, except for a splash, it did not cause much damage.

Soon, two more groups of British bombers launched a torpedo attack. Three of the FB27 bombers entered the battlefield from the side of the hull and flew through the air at a height of less than 80 meters above the sea surface. 2000 meters, 1500 meters, 800 meters! And just as the British were about to press down the handle of the torpedo launch, the biggest problem of the torpedo machines was finally revealed - they were too vulnerable when attacking!

Imagine a behemoth flying at an ultra-low altitude with wings spread for more than 20 meters and flying at a speed of no more than 120 kilometers. The route can't change this, it's really not difficult to hit down, especially since this is Turkey's largest military port after all, not to mention that there are a lot of 40MM, 75MM and 88MM anti-aircraft guns, and some of the secondary guns and anti-aircraft guns on the St. István that are being renovated have also been removed to enhance the port's anti-aircraft firepower. These things may be powerless against horizontal bombers, but in the face of these defenseless, and even defenseless, torpedo planes that have entered the attack channel, then hehe! After all, such a large plane, such a low altitude and speed, in the complex terrain of the port, you want to dodge the attack? What do you think!

So, the British, who underestimated the situation, left the first drop of blood in this air raid! 8 40MM GUNS FROM BAVARIA AND 3 88MM GUNS WERE AIMED AT THE ATTACKERS ALMOST AT THE SAME TIME, AND THE ACCURACY OF THESE GUNS PLACED ON THE SHORE NATURALLY IMPROVED A LOT BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THE ROCKING OF THE SHIP, PLUS THIS TIME IT WAS INTENTIONAL OR NOT, AND THE PASSAGE THAT COULD PASS THROUGH SUCH A HUGE BOMBER WAS REALLY NOT ....... (After all, this is in the harbor, not on the high seas.) ）

In the case of a certain direction of attack, then the firepower is naturally quite concentrated! Woohoo! The characteristic sound of the 2-pounder rapid-fire gun echoed through the harbor, and a huge square ammo box was fixed to the side of the gun's receiver, and in order to ensure continuous fire, the gun was also equipped with a huge cooling bucket that fired shells at a rate of more than 10 rounds per second, and then the second and third! A FEW SECONDS LATER, THE 2 88MM GUNS HIDDEN NEXT TO IT ALSO BEGAN TO SHOOT, ACCOMPANIED BY TONGUES OF FIRE MORE THAN 1 METER LONG, AND HIGH-EXPLOSIVE SHELLS WEIGHING 9KG FLEW TOWARDS THE INCOMING BRITISH AIRCRAFT GROUP!

The hundreds of kilograms of shells that came from the side immediately startled the British, and then it was useless, the hit was still a return hit, first of all, a 2-pound shell hit the upper wing of a bomber located on the edge, and the shell weighing nearly 1 kg was not comparable to a 12.7MM machine gun, you know, at the beginning on the Western Front, this thing was used to hit tanks!

With a bang, the wings on this bomber were directly cut off by more than 2 meters! The plane, which had been hit suddenly, quickly fell into a state of imbalance and began to sway to the side. WITHOUT WAITING FOR THE PLANE TO FINALLY FALL INTO THE WATER, AN 88MM SHELL CLEANLY TURNED OUT THE OPPONENT!
