Seeing this, Albridson immediately quickly shook the two and turntables, aimed at one of the enemy planes, and then pressed the firing pedal hard.

"Woohoo!" The quadruple anti-aircraft guns immediately roared, spewing clouds of flames at the plane.

Soon the four 32-round drums inserted in the four guns used up all the shells, but the plane was unscathed, dropping three aerial bombs.

However, although the heavy artillery fire did not shoot down the plane, it still interfered with its bombing, causing all three bombs it dropped to miss the target, and none of them hit the aircraft carrier Count Zeppelin.

"Annese! Ammunition! Albridson yelled.

"Pretending, I'm pretending!" Annether replied as she removed the four empty drums and threw them aside, and then filled the four anti-aircraft guns one by one.

After inserting the last drum into the feed port and hammering the drum twice to make sure it was tight, Anether said loudly to Albridson, who was beside her, "All right! Reload complete! ”

"Good!" Albridson replied, then re-aimed at an enemy aircraft and pressed the firing pedal.

The anti-aircraft guns trembled again.

The first few shells fired still failed to hit the target, but Albrey had gradually mastered the trajectory of the cannon according to the instructions of the tracer projectiles.

Dense shells are getting closer and closer to that plane.

I don't know if the British pilot had a premonition of the crisis or Albrison's luck today, just as he was about to hit the target, the dive bomber hurriedly dropped the bomb, pulled up and accelerated and fled.

“scheiße！” Albridson was angry and punched the anti-aircraft gun, "Are British pilots so cowardly?!" ”

However, as soon as he said this, a bomber that cut in from an unknown angle whizzed over his head, and at the same time fired wildly at the German anti-aircraft gun position with a .303 machine gun. Added several more names to the list of German casualties.

This crazy plane disrupted the unified command of the German small-caliber anti-aircraft guns, and the 40mm anti-aircraft artillery group did not have any problems because of the unified dispatch of the firing commander, but the independently operated 20mm anti-aircraft artillery group was completely chaotic, and the various red-eyed artillery groups began to fight separately without listening to the command.

Coupled with the fact that the British torpedo bomber group also joined the battlefield, the air defense system of the Count Zeppelin began to gradually collapse, more and more aircraft broke through the air defense circle, and one aerial bomb after another became more and more accurate.

Eventually, an SBD-2 ventured to an ultra-low altitude of 500 meters and dropped the bomb without much interference.

The 1,000-pound bomb spun into free fall and then smashed into the aft deck of the Count Zeppelin a few seconds later.

The projectile, weighing about 454 kilograms, unsurprisingly pierced the flight deck, which was covered only by 25mm thick armor, before exploding in the first hangar.

A strong shock wave mixed with flames swept through the small half of the hangar, igniting some of the fuel oil, and soon, a third of the hull of the Count Zeppelin was sunk into the fire, and dozens of officers and soldiers working in the hangar were burned alive.

But fortunately, this floor is a fighter hangar, and there are no torpedoes or high-explosive bombs piled up here, so although the warship is on fire, it will not necessarily sink.

A few minutes later, the damage pipe on the Count Zeppelin successfully closed several important fire doors under the flames, and some ordinary soldiers joined the firefighting, and the fire was quickly contained away from the ammunition and fuel depots.

But the explosion and fire that had just taken off all the anti-aircraft gun positions in the stern of the ship, and the anti-aircraft fire of the Count Zeppelin was sharply reduced to only about 35%.

As the Count Zeppelin's anti-aircraft fire was sharply reduced, three more planes soon rushed to a deadly altitude of 500 meters and dropped bombs.

"Boom! Rumble! Two loud bangs rang out one after the other, and two more 1,000-pound bombs smashed into the Count Zeppelin.

They hit the bridge and the stern of the ship, which had just been brought under control, and all the senior generals on board the aircraft carrier Count Zeppelin were killed, except for the captain of the ship, Rear Admiral Velius Hintz, who was in command of the air defense position.

The bomb that hit the stern of the ship killed most of the damage management personnel who were fighting the fire, and also blew up several fire doors into the sky.

This caused the fire that had just stabilized to rage again, and it had the potential to spread to the fuel depot.

At 1:45 p.m., the remaining damage management team managed to control the fire that was spreading to the fuel depot, but the flames burning from top to bottom ignited more than a dozen aviation torpedoes piled up in the second-floor hangar.

At 1:46 p.m., Captain Velius Hintz gave the order to abandon the ship to all the officers and men of the ship, and then tied himself to a fixed table in the air defense headquarters with the intention of sinking with the ship.

However, he was unable to do so, and a major knocked him unconscious with the butt of a rifle while Vilius Hintz was not looking, and then carried him onto the lifeboat with several soldiers.

Albrisson and Anneser also withdrew from their anti-aircraft gun emplacements after hearing the radio order to abandon the ship, put on life jackets, and ran towards the nearest dinghy with each other.

The people in the dinghy apparently also saw Albrisson and Annether running towards them, and they waved anxiously at Albridson and shouted, "Hey! Hurry up, buddy! The ship is about to sink! ”

Albridson and Anneseer did not answer, but gritted their teeth and ran towards the lifeboat with all their might.

But as they ran, they heard a muffled noise under their feet.

The two immediately realized what had happened.

"......" Before Albrixon could curse, the deck under his feet was overturned by a violent shock wave, and a surging heat wave poured out, lifting the two of them into the sky!

After a whirlwind, Albridson fell heavily into the sea, and his mouth was filled with a fishy smell, and a heavy feeling of exhaustion followed.

At the last moment before losing consciousness, he saw Anneser fall from the sky and fall into the sea, and then his eyes rolled and fell into darkness.

At 1:48, the main ammunition depot of the Count Zeppelin finally exploded, and the flames that rose into the sky could be clearly seen even if they were more than ten nautical miles away, and the whole ship broke into two and quickly disappeared into the sea.
