Chapter 1247: Chasing the Dead and Chasing the North 2

In fact, the count was right, on the first night after the end of the Battle of Ereli, the battleship Queen Maria did not reach Kerch, and in order to ensure that the Russian fleet could be thrown away, Vice Admiral Eberhardt ordered the fleet to first order the battleships to go a little east, and then turn in the direction of the Sea of Azov. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info and the average speed of this battleship was only about 12 knots, and the Russians thought very clearly, as long as they could survive the day, then the German fleet would inevitably lose its target at night. Then wait until daylight the next day and arrive at the Kerch .......

Then, at half past nine the next morning, the battleship Empress Maria, which was close to Kerch, ran into two ships that had been waiting all night for Prince Eugen and Taghoff! At the time of the encounter, the power systems of the two German fast battleships were in shabby operation, and they were using oil-fired boilers (oil-fired boilers directly supplied fuel with pumps, which did not require much manpower), so the exhaust fumes were very light. And the coal-fired boilers of the Russian battleships were exactly the opposite....... So, the German fleet first spotted the angry black smoke in the distant sky, and then when the two sides came into visual distance, everything was already doomed!

THE TWO SUPER DREADNOUGHTS, TOGETHER, CAN USE 12 GUNS WITH 12 GUNS, WITH AN AVERAGE SPEED OF MORE THAN 23 KNOTS, AND NO MORE THAN 8 12-INCH GUNS CAN BE USED ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE. The speed is below 15. By the way, there are three destroyers next to them, this TM is still a fart!

"In this moment, I almost saw hell!" Major General Kolchak recalled how he felt after the war, and his words represented almost all the other people's thoughts, this battle could not be fought!

"Fire!" With the order to fire, the main guns of the Taghoff and the Empress Maria fired almost simultaneously, and shells weighing hundreds of kilograms staggered through the air. Once again, orange flames and columns of water rose into the air, and the Germans hoped that the battle would end perfectly, while the Russians made a last-ditch fight for their own survival!

And the actual battle result was really one-sided, from the time the Tegerhof fired the first round and a half salvo to the destruction of all the main guns of Queen Maria, it took only ten minutes, and in these ten minutes, at least 8 or so main gun shells fell on the battleship, which was already seriously wounded! Three of the four turrets were beaten into flowering buns, and the other turret had a hole in the turret. Billowing smoke and flames poured out of the breaches in the battleship, and the crumbling superstructure, cracked holes, and twisted steel plates all told everyone that the flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet had reached its limit!

The tilted hull made a sound of metal twisting from time to time, and in the final moments of the battleship, the German fleet also sent destroyers to prepare to contain the Russian naval officers and sailors who had fallen overboard, and then disposed of them with torpedoes. The fierce engagement attracted the attention of the Russian Navy in the port of Kerch, and reports of the discovery of submarines made the German fleet reluctant to stay there for long. So, after taking in some more prisoners and throwing some lifebuoys into the sea, the Confederate Mediterranean Fleet began to evacuate under the leadership of the Prinz Eugen, and now, he urgently needs to return to Port Herreli, and there are still many things waiting for him to deal with!

The joint offensive of the British and Russians finally settled the next day, and the battle in the air ended earlier and more fiercely than the battle at sea! On that day, both the British and German air forces set their own records, and the British organized and carried out the first large-scale bombing of the sea. And the Germans set a record for the squadron to take off to meet it on this day! A squadron of Night Scythes with 22 crews actually made 56 sorties in one day! Quite a few pilots made three sorties, and another full squadron of scimitars made 52 sorties in one day! On average, each pilot made at least 2 sorties! And such a high-intensity sortie has never been done before!

And the last time the air forces of the two sides fought was over the Dardanelles! It was half past four in the afternoon, and the two squadrons of Scimitar and Night Scythe, which had been waiting for a long time, a total of 28 K-4J planes, were almost looking at their watches and waiting for the British bombers to enter!

"I knew there would be such a time." Colonel Short couldn't help but smile bitterly as he looked at the Sky Breakers who were almost in a neat formation and flying over with a fierce momentum.

"Head, what do we do now?" A colleague next to him was already a little trembling in his voice.

"What else can I do? Let's go! We have no choice! All planes stay in tight formation! Even if you are shot down, you can't leave on your own initiative! Give yourself behind your teammates! St. George will bless us with a safe return! "Colonel Short's order was immediately transmitted to the entire fleet by various means.

At the same time, the opponents in the distance were also looking at the British bomber group, and in terms of numbers, there were at least more than 30 ....... More than 30 planes spread their wings 20 meters wide, and the guys of more than 30 meters formed a huge formation like a dark cloud, and anyone who saw this thing felt terrifying! Seriously, the Sky Hunters haven't seen anyone put on such a big formation! The box formation is that the more planes are gathered together, the higher the combat effectiveness, the British are a little frightened when they look at the Germans' interceptors, and the Germans are also a little flustered when they look at the British box! The two sides are like cheetahs dealing with wild boars, half a pound and eight taels for each other!

"Perhaps, this will be the last battle for some of us, but, if I had the option to spend a life of mediocrity in his own right, I would rather release all the light and heat in an instant to illuminate the battlefield, and my brothers!" In the formation of Sky Hunters, who were also lined up in a dense formation, Captain Wolfstein, the squadron leader of the scimitar squadron who served as the commander-in-chief, said loudly. "So, I'm going to take the lead! May God bless us! All squad leaders carry out strike missions according to the predetermined plan! Teutonic knights! Get ready! Attack! ”

Under the inflammatory language, the morale of the Sky Hunters is directly MAX! Like the forefathers of the German Empire, the new age of air heavy cavalry launched an unstoppable charge against the British aircraft in the distance! The 8 Sky Hunters at the front rushed towards the opponent in the distance like sharp rifles, and this time, in order to ensure that the opponent was dealt with at one time, the frenzied German ground crew equipped them with two additional large-caliber machine guns on these 8 planes!

"Brothers, come closer, let's machine gun these hateful Germans! They have nothing to fear! We are bigger and stronger than them! After that, we can go home, where a great dinner, clean beds, and the Order of Victoria await us! "At this time, the British fleet eager to go home is also morale MAX!
