"Redbeard" is, after all, the body of an armored cruiser! When struck by lightning, the three rudders in the stern of the ship were instantly hit to the maximum! The 180-meter-long hull quickly twisted on the sea, and the effect of a one-sided small-scale lightning strike was really average, especially when the torpedo on the opposite side was still relatively slow, and after continuously changing course, "Redbeard" decisively dodged three torpedoes. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info And when the battleship, which was tilted a little because of the turn, had not yet adjusted its condition, the three British torpedo planes on the right attacked!

The same salvo of three torpedoes, this time the British posted closer! The angle is trickier! The last torpedo was fired even at a distance of 400 meters! The Earl of Lucknar's fleet anti-aircraft fire is almost 0, so the British can boldly launch lightning strikes as close as possible!

The first torpedo slipped 10 meters from the stern. There seemed to be a problem with the depth fixing of the second torpedo and it rushed under the hull! And the third torpedo crashed into the middle of the hull of the "Redbeard"! ALTHOUGH THE CHARGE OF THIS AVIATION TORPEDO WAS ONLY 90KG. But the opposite side is not a cutting-edge battleship, it is a 10,000-ton armored cruiser that has been in service for 20 years!

Although the level of underwater protection was improved as much as possible during the design, because of the gap in technology and the hardware conditions of the battleship itself (in the previous dreadnought period, what good mine protection did the 10,000-ton warship still want?). This torpedo still made the "Redbeard" unable to eat and walked around! At the moment of impact on the hull plate, the fuse successfully detonated the explosive located in the thunderhead! 90 kg of TNT explosives directly tore through the fragile shell, and tons of seawater and debris poured into the empty silo under the action of huge kinetic energy, and once again penetrated the partition! However, the depth of defense of 2 meters is obviously not enough for this explosion.

Under the powerful water pressure and the cutting of the debris, the last of the defenses were also broken, and a large amount of seawater poured into one of the boiler silos, causing 3 boilers to stop in an instant, and at the same time several important steam pipes were also cut off, and the Turkish stokers who were in it were swallowed by the flames and sea water before they even reacted!

This blow brought about 600 tons of water intake to the armored cruiser, which originated in Germany. If that's all there is, it's not too unlucky. Anyway, the British bombers ran out of ammunition, but what happened next was unexpected! The O-400 bomber that dropped the torpedo did not pull up the ...... during the final climb.

Then the wing of the plane managed to hit the rear mast of the "Redbeard", and the landing gear took away half of the chimney of the German armored cruiser! The violent armor produced sparks that directly ignited the engine located on the wing, and the flames detonated the remaining fuel tanks directly along the engine oil path, and just like that, almost in a matter of seconds, the plane exploded directly in the air!

"In an instant, I seemed to feel a thunderclap sounding on the enemy less than 10 meters above my head! I just felt an indescribable loud noise pressing against me, and then I couldn't hear anything, and an invisible shockwave spread out in all directions, blowing away the cannon nests and people in the open air outside like dust. Several of the chambers were blown apart by a storm of fire that fell from the sky, and at this moment I felt like I was in hell. Fragments kept pounding on the ceiling, and I even saw two unfortunate colleagues knocked down by shrapnel falling from the sky. ”

Imagine hundreds of kilograms of fuel exploding above you, then pushing tons of wood across the board! This is definitely not a good experience for any battleship, and the middle and rear parts of the entire battleship are instantly covered in a rain of falling fire. However, it seems to be very sad, and the actual situation is uncertain, but in the opinion of the British, this battleship should not be able to join the battle below.

"It looks like we have destroyed at least 1 large Allied warship. Although at the cost of one bomber. Lieutenant Colonel Veron had clearly seen what had just happened, and at this time, almost the entire hull of the armored cruiser was shrouded in smoke and fire, which in his opinion, it was not too much to judge it as a heavy damage, and even it was okay to count it as damage, after all, the fire was so large.

"The British are gone, what shall we do?" The British bomber group, which had already used up all its ammunition, flew away. The British also launched an attack on the Sultan Osman I, but it had no effect other than a close miss, which was also a little far away, and although it destroyed several compartments, the impact on the battleship was relatively limited. So, at present, the count's fleet still has 1 fast battleship and 1 armored cruiser in combat integrity.

"Help Redbeard put out the fire first, and then I need to think about what to do next." The Count said after looking at the armored cruiser in the distance, which had been burned like a large torch.

"Your Excellency, aren't we going to Romania?" An officer said with some confusion.

"No, no, we have enough ammunition and fuel at hand now, and we are in good condition, if we don't take advantage of this opportunity to do something, then I'm sorry for this stormy moment today!" The Count waved his hand, and walked quickly to the side of the chart.

As a seasoned hunter who has already experienced the baptism of war, Count Luknall has sniffed a glimmer of opportunity from the intricacies of the situation! He now forced himself to compose himself, and then straighten out the whole situation, judging by the telegrams that had been sent, his fleet was definitely not the only victim of this air raid, in the port of Burgas, in Constantinople, and even in the distant port of Herreli. The British Air Force concentrated hundreds of twin and quad bombers to launch a murderous attack on the Allied Mediterranean Fleet.

Seriously, the situation on my side is already very good, and there is an armored cruiser that temporarily withdraws from the battle. The fire just now looks sad, but it's actually just a bit ugly on the outside, and it's the torpedo that is really a little troublesome. However, because of the problem of less charge, it will not be fatal, and the two fast battleships on the side of Constantinople are estimated to be unable to perform combat missions for a long time in the future. As for his teacher, Comrade Spee, who also bears the title of Count, the situation is still unknown, but it is said that in order to help him, the entire air force over Turkey was mobilized. Looks like it's not going to be good.

The British moved, the Russians moved, their fleet struck. Just last night, at the beginning, Count Luknal thought that the target was himself. But now it seems that this is not the case. There is no shadow of the Russian fleet within 30 kilometers around him, and the Russians will definitely not go out to the streets at this time.
