At the same time as spotting two Soviet planes in the air, the "Dacia" sent a signal for help to the command, calling the nearest Romanian Air Force fighter from here. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but it is impossible for Romanian fighters to arrive here to help at once, it is better to count on the gunboats "Ugen" and "Gikalesku" escorting the escort.

But the two gunboats were also too far away from it, and it was too late to rush at full speed! The two Soviet fighters did not give them a chance at all, and when the gunboat had just increased its speed to the maximum after turning, there were already two sky-high fires on the "Dacia"!

The gunboat "Ugen", built in France in 1916, has a full load displacement of 443 tons, is equipped with two 100 mm naval guns and two 13.2 mm Hatch Keis large-caliber anti-aircraft machine guns, and the "Guicalescu", built in 1917, is also French, with a displacement of 334 tons, and the same armament as the "Ugen".

The common feature of the two gunboats is that they are capable of surface firepower, but the two 100mm naval guns are pure flat-fire guns; Trying to rely on two 30-round magazine-fed Hachikes anti-aircraft machine guns with a rate of fire of 450 rounds per minute to withstand the strafing of high-speed fighters is more basic than nothing for the Romanians!

They were used as escort ships to deal with Soviet submarines, not these two fighters that appeared in a hurry! However, the minelayers guarding were in trouble, so they could only rush over to help.

"The gunboat is not a passenger ship, approaching at high speed!"

"Understood!" Kulakov replied loudly to the captain's instructions - the gunboat they were eyeing was slightly larger, it was the "Ugen"!

The gunboat had only one machine gun against a plane coming straight at it, but it was not designed to deal with high-speed targets near sea level at about 500 kilometers per hour!

It's okay for the Hatch Keith machine gun to hit the slow biplane, but there is no way to deal with the P39, and it is barely difficult!

At a distance of 800 meters, Lechkalov pressed the firing button of four 7.62mm machine guns, and fired a full 5 seconds in burst! The P39 has a reserve of 1,000 rounds per 7.62mm machine gun, and even if it swept at the "Dacia" just now, it lost less than 300 rounds per gun!

The lieutenant doesn't need to save ammunition at all, as long as he ensures that the hit rate is not wasted at will! Waterfall bullets form a barrage on the water around the gunboat, and in the middle of the barrage, the "Ugan" will be worse than the target it protects - it will be covered by the barrage from beginning to end!

Lechkalov pressed the firing button of the 12.7mm machine gun and 37mm gun when he was close to 200 meters, ensuring that the tracer armor-piercing machine gun bullets would penetrate the steel plate of the gunboat's hull!

The wingman in the rear did not open the distance from the long plane this time, but was on the right side of 30 meters behind, and pressed the machine gun firing button almost at the same time - in two rounds, the "Ugan" was almost pierced by 12.7 mm machine gun bullets through hundreds of holes, and a third was near the water level!

The superstructure was subjected to at least seven or eight hundred rounds of 7.62 mm machine gun bullets, and the gun emplacements, anti-aircraft machine gun firing positions, and the bridge were all destroyed! Rechkalov also fired a dozen 37-mm shells near the water level of the "Ugan", hitting them accurately and fiercely - a few tracer armor-piercing incendiary shells pierced through the seawater, penetrated the steel plates and drilled into the engine room!

When the two P39s circled back for the third time, the two pilots saw smoke coming out of the gunboat, apparently the diesel engine in the engine room was lit!

There are no more people on the deck who are able to move, the "Ugan" is half dead, and the speed is decreasing!

"One more time, let's do it!"

"No problem, you come first lieutenant."

Pulling away, Rechkalov's fighter used a 7.62mm machine gun with a fairly adequate ammunition to plow the "Ugan" again from tail to end, followed by Kulakov's strafing fire!

When it was pulled up again, the smoke on the "Ugan" was already getting bigger and bigger, and it seemed that the fire inside the ship was out of control!

"No. 2, change the target, my cannon is out of shells, just let it be honest, and go back and kill the big guy."

"Okay, Lieutenant!"

Five minutes later, the two P39s tilted thousands of 7.62mm machine gun rounds on the "Gikalesku", and all the other systems of the gunboat were finished except for the power inside the ship!

Seeing the Romanian gunboats circling the sea below, Rechkalov knew that its wheelhouse was finished!

"It's up to you, get that big guy off for credit!"

Turning course to the minelayer in flames, two P39s approached at high speed - Kulakov took the lead, and he saw someone in the stern of the ship busy with smoke and flames: he wanted to drop those dangerous mines! However, this will have at least 30 mines lined up in the stern of the "Dacia", and it is an impossible task for the Romanian sailors, with heavy casualties, to try to throw all the mines that are surrounded by flames into the sea along the guide rails in a short time!

Reducing his speed and approaching 200 meters, Kulakov pressed the cannon firing button, and even the firing button of the 12.7 mm large-caliber machine gun was pressed at the same time - the two large-caliber machine guns had at least fifty or sixty rounds, which could penetrate the shells of those round mines and then penetrate the charge inside!

Rechkanov fired with a large-caliber machine gun from a distance of 20 degrees from the left flank, approaching to 150 meters!

At the moment when the lieutenant felt that the ammunition of the large-caliber machine gun was exhausted, a violent explosion occurred in the stern of the "Dacia"!

Hurriedly turned to disengage, and seemed to feel the whistling sound of those shrapnel! A mine was detonated by machine gun bullets and shells, and it is not known which plane fired the ammunition, but it doesn't matter!

The detonated mine detonated a mine next to it in an instant, and the ******* explosives in tons destroyed the stern of the "Dacia" in an instant!

"Lieutenant, we succeeded! ……”

The cheers of the wingman came from Lechkalov's headphones, and when he turned his head to look down, the entire stern of the "Dacia" was blown up almost invisible, and the bow was cocked by a section!

"I'll take two pictures and pay attention to the air."

Pull up the nose of the plane and take out a camera that was stuffed before the attack - the ground crew gave it last night, and it is a temporary loan: if you kill the tank column or something, take a picture as a souvenir!

The planes given by the Americans did not have advanced camera guns, and the pilots wished they had a camera, although they did not use it in air combat.

Now it comes in handy - the focal length does not need to be adjusted, it has long been fixed at "infinity", and it is impossible to "aim" carefully to shoot at the approximate position.

Fixing the course on his knees, Rechkalov took four photographs, including the smoke-emitting gunboat in the distance.

But he doesn't have time to continue working as a photographer now, "Three o'clock, yellow-headed cigar!" Three planes, height 500, distance 3000!
