"Are these Yankees crazy? And so they are...... Rushed in like that? ”

Standing on the side of the bridge holding a telescope to watch the battle. Haye was stunned by what he saw. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info The pilots of these "American planes" are all crazy people, and they charge as if they were dying, and they actually broke through the Fokker Zero-type barrier at once and rushed into the circle of anti-aircraft fire of the fleet! Although several "American planes" turned into American turkeys in the blink of an eye under the dense anti-aircraft fire, the remaining planes still rushed closer and closer.

But...... Dive bombers and torpedo bombers both have attack positions, and they must dive or fly horizontally at a specific altitude, from a specific angle, at a specific speed, so that the bombs and torpedoes can be accurately dropped. And dive bombers and torpedo bombers have to form corresponding formations when attacking, how can there be such a swarm? Could this be America's most advanced tactic?

Helmut. When Heyer was wondering, Captain Smith of the British Royal Navy also noticed that something was wrong. Just thinking about getting rid of those terrible Fokker Zeros, and wanting to drop bombs on the German aircraft carriers earlier. As a result, he was hot-headed for a while, and rushed into the fleet's anti-aircraft fire network in a daze, and he didn't care what position, formation, or height he was. Now I can't dive bombing, because just now in order to get rid of the Fokker Zero, I have already used the means of dive acceleration, so the altitude has already dropped, and now it is at a height of more than a thousand years, how can I dive? Moreover, the height of those TBD torpedo bombers does not seem to have dropped, and if you drop the torpedo at this altitude, you will not plunge headlong into the bottom of the sea?

Just when Captain Smith didn't know what to do, there were already planes dropping torpedoes - several dive bombers were dropping bombs horizontally at an altitude of more than 1,000 meters, and several torpedo bombers were dropping torpedoes at about the same height! As a result, nothing was blown up, and ammunition was wasted.

"Don't throw bombs indiscriminately now! The torpedo bomber descended in altitude, and the dive bomber immediately pulled up ......"

Captain Smith knew that this would not work, and hurriedly ordered the group to enter the corresponding attack position through the on-board radio. But these planes were now in the anti-aircraft fire circle of the German fleet, and anti-aircraft shells rained down, and the air was full of clouds of exploding smoke. The plane is flying through it, and it is simply flying on the edge of hell.

Captain Smith's order was given for less than 2 minutes, and 2 more SBDs and 1 TBD were smashed into fireballs. Together with the 1 SBD that crashed into the sea due to engine failure, the 12 SBDs and 8 TBDs that were shot down by the Fokker Zero, and the 4 SBDs and 3 TBDs that were shot down by the anti-aircraft guns of the German fleet during the breakthrough, the first assault wave under the command of Captain Smith has now lost 19 SBDs and 12 TBDs.

In addition, there are 8 SBDs and 6 TBDs that throw bombs and torpedoes indiscriminately, and only 24 SBD dive bombers with attack capabilities remain, and only 21 TBD torpedo bombers that can be dropped.

However, these 45 planes that still have the ability to attack have not yet entered the position where they can attack, and there is still an unfinished road of death ahead of them.

The more unfortunate ones are the TBD torpedo bombers, which are different from the SBD dive bombers, they are not straight up and down, they have to circle down in height, and the speed of the hovering descent is not too fast. As a result, it became a good live target, 5 planes were shot down by the fleet's anti-aircraft guns, and 12 planes were caught by a dozen Fokker Zeros waiting outside because they circled out of the fleet's anti-aircraft fire circle, and a 20mm shell smashed over, shooting down 5, and the rest had to throw torpedoes and flee for their lives. As a result, only 10 TBDs were left and finally reluctantly dropped their torpedoes, but none of them hit the target because the bombs were thrown too far.

The SBD dive bombers were slightly more lucky, they quickly rushed to an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, which exceeded the effective firing height of the 40mm anti-aircraft guns equipped on German naval ships, while the 105mm anti-aircraft guns of the Germans were not powerful enough because they did not have VT fuses, and they did not pose much threat to the SBD dive bombers.

Just as Captain Smith was breathing a sigh of relief and was about to look for an opportunity to launch a dive attack, 15 Fokker Zeros swooped down from a higher altitude and opened fire on them.

It turned out that after seeing the "American planes" rushing into the German ship's anti-aircraft fire network like a swarm, he knew that these planes would eventually have to enter an attack position where they could dive and drop torpedoes. So he divided the two squadrons under his command into two, one squadron went around the anti-aircraft fire circle of the German fleet at a low altitude, and he led the other squadron to an altitude of 4,000 meters. As a result, after circling around, I saw more than two dozen chubby SBD dive bombers rushing up.

Canopy ......

A muffled sound came along with the violent tremor of the fuselage, and Captain Smith, who had been shot down over the English Channel, immediately knew that the SBD plane he was piloting had been hit, but by a 20mm cannon!

"Fire, Jamie, fire!" At this point, Smith shouted several times to get the Heavy in the back seat to fire, but nothing happened. He hurriedly looked back, only to see the machine gunner in the back seat leaning on one side, not moving, obviously killed!

Canopy ......

There was another muffled sound, and Smith's landline was hit by a few more shells, and the fuselage trembled even more. Although the SBD dive bomber is very strong, it cannot withstand being shot like a target like a 20mm cannon.

Captain Smith is an "old bird" after all, and he knows that he can't run away with a bomb now. Because even if the SBD dive bomber drops a bomb, it is impossible to get rid of the Fokker Zero, and if you run for your life, you will only be chased all the way, and in the end it will still be difficult to escape death.

Therefore, there is only one way to survive, which is to dive immediately, and at the same time dive and drop bombs, throw off the enemy plane behind the buttocks.

Thinking of this, Captain Smith gritted his teeth, piloted his plane that had been beaten with smoke (the fuel tank was on fire), aimed at the aircraft carrier "Seydlitz" that was doing S-shaped evasion, and dived down at an almost vertical angle. I don't know if it's because the dive with the smoke is too dazzling, and the anti-aircraft shells fired on the water are also extremely dense, and all the ammunition of various calibers is beckoning to this plane. Captain Smith, who was sitting in the cabin, only heard the sound of "canopy" coming from the non-stop, as if someone was desperately smashing the plane with a hammer.

The plane dropped in altitude very quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was at an altitude where it could be dropped, and as soon as Captain Smith tried to press the bomb switch, something slammed into his chest, and then there was an unimaginable pain, and then his eyes went black and he lost consciousness. But the plane he piloted did not fall apart, and somehow did not change course, but rushed along its original trajectory towards the aircraft carrier "Seydlitz".

"Airplane!"

"Shock-proof, ready."

Someone suddenly shouted in the bridge of the "Seydlitz" that Helmut, who had witnessed the plane crashing down. Lieutenant General Haye hurriedly grabbed the handrail. And then there was a "boom" bang! The plane slammed into the armored deck of the "Seydlitz" with a 1000-pound bomb. The hull of nearly 20,000 tons trembled violently, and all the people in the bridge fell to the ground.

"Report the loss!" Helmut. Heyer struggled to his feet, and just as he was about to inquire about the damage, there was a deafening loud noise, and the hull of the ship shook violently again, and in one fell swoop Heyer fell to the ground.

This time it was a 1000-pound bomb that exploded on the deck of the "Seydlitz" - since the armored aircraft carrier was an SBD dive bomber, and not the armor-piercing bomb itself, this armor-piercing bomb exploded on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier, and the damage to the aircraft carrier itself was not great, but it looked very scary in the air, as if the aircraft carrier had been heavily damaged.

"It's self-...... Suicide attack!? "Hesman Jr. is the pilot of the Fokker Zero that chased Smith's plane just now. He witnessed with his own eyes that this crazy "American plane" bravely crashed into a German aircraft carrier.

This is an aircraft colliding with an aircraft carrier, one plane for another! These New World cowboys are fighting like this!?

Looking at the smoke rising from the aircraft carrier "Seydlitz" below, little Hersmann only felt a chill down his spine - for the first time now, he really felt that the German Empire could lose the war!

The German pilots in the sky were frightened by the smoke rising from the "Seydlitz". At the same time, the British pilots cheered, today's battle was too embarrassing, and the plane they flew was simply a live target for the Germans! Now at last there is a bad breath, a German aircraft carrier has been blown up and sunk, no, it should have been sunk!

The news that an SBD dive bomber had crashed into and sunk a German aircraft carrier was quickly sent to the British wartime cabinet headquarters under King Charles Street in London, and the gloomy atmosphere there was also swept away.

"Great! This is the beginning of a great victory! "Winston. Churchill had a smile on his face that he hadn't seen for many days, "This brave man who sank a German aircraft carrier is a hero of our British Empire, and his deeds should be well publicized, which will greatly boost the morale of the depressed people." Other than that...... Hitting a warship with an airplane is obviously a very effective tactic! ”

"Prime Minister, what are you talking about?"

As soon as Qiu Fatman's words were finished, Alexander the Admiralty, who had come to report the battle to Churchill, was stunned.

Churchill looked at the old, conservative-minded gentleman, smiled and said: "This is a propaganda warfare, and we should convince the Germans that the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force are developing extremely powerful suicide weapons!" (To be continued.) )
