First, this is a port, which means that although the battleship is partially sunk, it is easier to salvage from the shallow water. In fact www.biquge.info, if this is a warship in good condition, even if the same hit is not enough to kill in a large part of the high sea, even if it is in high condition. Although there was a lot of water ingress, the fortunate thing was that there was no damage to the engine room, because the place where the hit was ...... the upper part of the boiler compartment.

As for the second point, although the explosion is powerful, it is not an armor-piercing shell after all, and most of the really important compartments are retained, such as the ammunition compartment, motor compartment and engine room, etc., which have hardly been fatally hit. Of course, it would be hard to say what would happen if two more bombs were hit, but by this time, the remaining British bomber group with ammunition had already set its sights on the battleship USS Combined Forces, which was already leaving port.

Three O-400 bombers of the Seventh Squad roared over the United Forces, and then, unsurprisingly, all three bombs were dodged by the Austro-Hungarian naval flagship, which was reaching a speed of 15 knots. The effectiveness of horizontal bombardment against moving targets has plummeted. And in the open sea, the torpedo attack would be much more effective, but alas, the British have already wasted too many torpedoes on the St. Istvan. But even so, the situation with the United Force is not optimistic.

A total of 5 British bomber detachments carrying torpedoes launched attacks from both sides at the same time, although they did not cooperate well, but still formed a cross attack, in less than a minute, 5 torpedoes weighing more than 500 kilograms entered the water from a distance of 800 to 500 meters on both sides of the battleship, driven by the engine, the propeller pushed the torpedo to the target at a speed of more than 35 knots per hour,

The exhaust gases produced after burning were sent out from the tail of the torpedo to form a white track, in this round of attack, the United Forces finally failed to completely dodge, a torpedo hit the left side of the hull fiercely, but the torpedo weighing only 110KG of explosives did very little damage to this battleship with intact underwater defenses, after tearing a 5-square-meter hole and bringing 650 tons of water, the turbulent shock wave and shrapnel were finally blocked by the empty silo behind the liquid tank.

The British horizontal bombers were really not very effective in attacking moving targets, and in the subsequent round of attacks, only one bomb caused a close miss. However, this time the United Force was in a good situation, the bomb landed in the middle of the right side of the hull, entered the water at a distance of 25 meters, and the shock wave from the explosion tore several cracks on the starboard side of the United Forces. More than 400 tons of water ingress was caused, and that's it, but even so. For this battleship, which is about to complete repair, the fate of the next 2 months is estimated to continue to stay in a certain shipyard.

Some of the bombs inevitably destroyed some of the buildings around the port of Constantinople, 2 warehouses and 1 factory building were smashed by the falling bombs, and some of the buildings were left with a dense number of bullet holes.

"St. István is finished, the United Forces was hit with at least 2 torpedoes and 1 bomb." After a moment, Lieutenant Colonel Solsi looked at the telegram below and nodded with satisfaction. If nothing else, the bombing and sinking of the St. István alone is a very huge feat! Battleships were almost irreplaceable for the Allies, sinking one less one. And according to the statistical hit results, the other combined force may not be able to enter the battle for half a year. One attack knocked two battleships out of the battle sequence of the Germans, which was already a complete task for the B bomber group! And by this time the British had as many as 27 bombers, and only 3 of them were destroyed and seriously damaged!

In Lieutenant Colonel Sols's opinion, at this time, as long as he and his B group can return safely, the mission will be completed. However, it is a pity that the British have been in the port area for too long, and when the O-400 and FB27 bombers are ready to climb and leave, the already arriving squadron of scimitars is waiting for them at 1500 to 3000 meters!

The first attack was on the 7th and 9th squadrons just after the attack on the United Forces, two of which had just pulled up the nose of the plane, and before they could climb to 500 meters in the air, they were caught by two K-4J interceptors that had dived head-on.

"Die! British! Accompanied by the pilot's curse, the dense rain of bullets sprayed by 6 large-caliber machine guns formed an oval bomb drop area in the air, accurately covering one of the bombers, only 8 seconds, as the plane moved, hundreds of bullets whistled, directly covering from the nose to the tail, and the entire front half of the plane was almost shattered. With an explosion, the British plane could never return, and another British plane suffered the same fate, and the British and German planes staggered at a moment when one wing of the poor O-400 bomber was shattered. And then plunged headlong into the sea.

The roaring German interceptor fleet terrified Lieutenant Colonel Solse. Although it was the first time he had seen a professional interceptor of the Bavarian Air Force, the terrifying scene of the entire nose of the aircraft as if it was showered in flames when firing made him realize the crisis immediately. At this time, the British bomber unit had just completed bombing, and its flight altitude was generally relatively low, and it was very scattered, and it was in a state of being very vulnerable to attack.

"Perhaps, after going back this time, there will be no more squadrons of light saber bombers." I watched an FB27 bomber just 2,000 meters away from me being blown to pieces. Lieutenant Colonel Solsi finally gave the order to disperse and break out, and generally whether it is a land battle or a naval battle, once this order is given, it is basically not far from collapse! And in fact, it is true, not long after the Bavarian scimitar interceptor squadron entered, in less than 15 minutes, 7 twin-engine bombers have been destroyed, 27 planes have come out, and now 10 have been hung, this loss rate is a bit shocking!

However, this was only the beginning, not just the beginning of Sols' B bomber group, but also the beginning of the first major bloodshed of the entire British bomber force! The German interceptor group, which had already reacted, rushed madly towards all known British bomber groups under the guidance of the ground, and the sea and air battles that lasted all day were extremely bloody before the prelude began!

And just as the two sides were fighting over Constantinople, Count Luknar's fleet was also attacked off the coast of the Bulgarian port of Burgas.
