“first blood！” The shell drilled directly into the fuselage of this O-400 bomber and then blew this miracle of wooden structure to pieces! THE POWER OF THE 88MM HIGH-EXPLOSIVE BOMB IS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING, THE ENTIRE BODY WAS SHATTERED AND FORMED A DANGEROUS AREA WITH A DIAMETER OF DOZENS OF METERS, ANY FLYING OBJECT ENTERING THE AREA WILL BE HIT HARD, AND THE OTHER PLANE WAS ALSO VERY SAD BY THE WRECKAGE OF THE FRIENDLY ARMY IN THE FUSELAGE MADE A FEW HOLES IN THE FUSELAGE, THE VIOLENT SHAKING MADE THE PLANE FORCED TO GIVE UP THE ATTACK, HURRIEDLY THREW THE TORPEDO DOWN AND THEN CLIMBED TO ESCAPE.

As time passed, the more anti-aircraft fire was activated, not only the British who came to sneak attack were surprised, but even the Turks did not expect such a powerful firepower in their own port! Around the battleship St. Istvan, which could not be moved, more than 3-digit anti-aircraft machine guns, machine guns and large-caliber anti-aircraft guns of various calibers were frantically tilting a rain of bullets in all directions, looking from the air, even forming a funnel-shaped barrage! Keep stretching out in all directions.

"it!" Lieutenant Colonel Solsi was a little confused, the whole plan was demonstrated for a month, including Lieutenant General Trenchard, who did not expect that in Constantinople, this forgotten corner would encounter such dense anti-aircraft fire! Of course, you can also say that the British underestimated the enemy, and in any case, it was also the capital of the Turkish Empire, the largest military port in Turkey, and the home port of the second largest fleet of the Central Powers, ....... And the British air force was more engaged in the bombing of front-line targets, and the anti-aircraft firepower of the front-line naturally could not be compared with a fortress.

The British did not think about how to suppress it, when the second bomber dragged flames and smoke into a warehouse next to the port. Lieutenant Colonel Solsi finally couldn't help it. "Order the bombers of the 4th and 6th detachments to take out the anti-aircraft artillery positions next to me for me! All bomber units that have completed the attack are suppressed with machine guns! "And the red-eyed lieutenant colonel ordered loudly!

However, it is a pity that the bombs chosen by the British this time are very, very unsuitable for this task, although the 500KG level of high-explosive bombs is huge, but in the face of anti-aircraft artillery positions is obviously overpowered, at this time you need a large number of small-yield bombs, to cover the area, is a face kill, not a strong point kill! THE MACHINE GUN EQUIPPED ON THE BRITISH BOMBER IS THE OPPOSITE, THE 7.7MM MACHINE GUN IS TOO POWERFUL, AND IT CAN BE BLOCKED BY A RANDOM STEEL PLATE, SO THE ANTI-AIRCRAFT SUPPRESSION EFFECT THIS TIME IS REALLY NOT GOOD.

And this time the British encountered more problems than that, when the third team of torpedo planes successfully threw three torpedoes over, the British watched as one torpedo sank suddenly, and the white track composed of exhaust gases came to an abrupt end, and then, with a loud bang, a column of water rose into the air 70 meters away from the St. Istvan.

"Madan, the Germans not only set up lightning nets, but also fishing nets!" A shrewd British pilot spotted the problem in an instant...... In the face of mine protection nets, it can be solved by adding a cutter in the front of the torpedo, but in the face of fishing nets, this is definitely not strong, but it can be soft to overcome rigidity, low cost, and deploy several layers of things at once, then it will be troublesome, after all, there were even submarines in World War I whose propellers were entangled in fishing nets and caused them to lose power, submarines are like this, not to mention a torpedo! This kind of flexible stuff can't be solved with a single cutter. And because of this, it was foreshadowed that all attempts to attack the St. István with torpedoes would hardly work!

However, this time it was a fixed target, although the Turks tried their best to shoot tons of shells into the sky, but without the help of radar and more advanced fire control systems, the hit rate was still relatively impressive, after the British used two precious 1000-pound bombs to beat the two high-explosive positions into deep pits, the follow-up bomber units finally rushed in from the gaps in the dense fire net!

At 8:50, it was the saddest moment in the life of the battleship St. Istvan, two 1,000-pound bombs fell from the sky, one bomb fell in the middle of the hull, and the huge bomb just smashed on the side of the ship! At the moment of the explosion, a huge orange-red fireball erupted, and the shock wave from the explosion of hundreds of kilograms of explosives instantly swept half of the deck, the outer superstructure was swept away by a quarter, and the partitions and scaffolding were shattered by the bombs, and the fire spread rapidly under the sea breeze, and after a few minutes, the battleship was plunged into a sea of fire and smoke.

However, the third bombshell did more damage than the first two combined! The bomb entered the water about 15 meters from the stern of the hull, and the sensitive fuse exploded violently at the same time as it collided with the water! Hundreds of kilograms of explosives were detonated at a depth of 5 meters! AT SUCH A DISTANCE, THE DAMAGE FROM A HIGH EXPLOSIVE CHARGE OF ALMOST 300KG IS COMPARABLE TO TWO MINES HITTING THE SAME LOCATION! A column of water hundreds of meters high rises into the air! The energy generated by the explosion is constantly transmitted to all directions through the raging waves! Under the impact of high-temperature and high-pressure bubbles and water currents, the armor belts on the sides of the hull of the St. István were torn and collided with tremendous force!

With a tooth-aching sound of metal twisting and breaking, a large hole of more than ten square meters appeared in the side chord, and the surrounding hull plates wanted to be dented, and even the entire piece of armor was torn off. In just a few minutes, thousands of tons of seawater poured into the ...... of the hapless battleship. The entire battleship gradually lost its balance, and the hull began to slowly sink at an inclination of 10 degrees.

After all, this was an unrepaired battleship, and some of the water doors were not closed, and the rear half of the hull of the St. István finally bottomed out when it was impossible to even plug the loopholes and drain the water! (The water depth of the berth is not large) the small half of the stern of the ship was flooded by the sea, and even the bow of the ship, which began to sink due to the water ingress, was slightly upturned!

"We seem to have killed this battleship?" Lieutenant Commander Solsi looked at the battleship St. István in a sea of fire and smoke, almost disbelieving his eyes, he had a premonition that he would achieve great results, but it was still a little unbelievable to see a battleship fall in front of him like this!

"We made history, we almost repeated David's feat of taking out Goliath with a catapult!" Lieutenant Colonel Solsi said excitedly. However, this time he was not entirely correct, it is true that if the battleship bottomed out as the standard, the British bomber group barely sank the St. István, but this time the sinking water is relatively large, because it is not completely destroyed, and the difficulty of repair is not as great as the British imagined!
