Chapter 335: The Fall of the British Mediterranean Fleet (Part II)

Hansen just wants to use his fighter as a JU87 dive bomber, Hansen's "BF109" is only half of the modified rocket plane, and the rest are all carried two 500-kilogram bombs, which is also arranged by Hansen himself, Li Mo will not interfere with the decision of the front-line commander, although Li Mo suggested that the BF109 be loaded with rockets to bomb the superstructure of the British warship, but Hansen, as a veteran pilot, feels that this kind of bomb of more than 30 kilograms, It was difficult to inflict substantial damage on British battleships, so half of Hansen's planes were carried with bombs.

But this fighter with aerial bombs to bomb the sea moving targets, it is indeed ineffective, this is why Hansen ordered them to fly over the British Mediterranean Fleet dive bombing, of course, so that some "BF109" may be hit by the anti-aircraft artillery of British warships, but Hansen still decided to do this, sinking these British warships is Hansen's primary goal, if the commander-in-chief wants to punish himself, just punish it, Hansen thinks so.

The British burst of indiscriminate gunfire and artillery actually made the Germans begin to climb to an altitude of 10,000 meters, which has exceeded the shooting height of the British warships, and the German planes avoided the battle, so that the British immediately cheered, cursing these damn "cowards" fiercely, not daring to try the taste of British shells, cheer, wait and know what the tragedy is.

"Report to Colonel Hansen, we have flown over the British Mediterranean Fleet."

"The rocket planes attacked first, one squadron at a time, with thirty seconds apart."

"Understood, the rocket machine began to attack."

"Woooooooooo......oo Woowoo woo ......"

Twelve "BF109s" broke away from the formation and swooped down on the British fleet that was constantly sailing.

The British were the first to strike at the intention of the German planes. Hurriedly adjusted the muzzle of the gun thinking about these dive "BF109" shots, but it is a pity that any cannon has a shot elevation. Seventy-five degrees is the limit, and it is impossible to raise it to a vertical state. Therefore, these British warships can only watch the German "BF109" whizz and dive down, and the outer circle of the British fleet can shoot these dive "BF109", but this greatly reduces the British anti-aircraft firepower, and against such a high-speed "BF109" dive speed, it can be said that it is a loose anti-aircraft fire network, and there are loopholes everywhere.

Thirty seconds later, the second group of "BF109" began to break away from the formation again and dived towards the British warship below, at which point the first wave of "BF109" had already begun to be launched.

"Boom...... 簌簌......"

The speed of the rocket itself, combined with the speed of more than 1,000 kilometers per hour of the "BF109" dive, makes the speed of the rocket even faster. The high speed makes the trajectory of the rocket more stable, basically not affected by the sea wind, the first wave of twelve "BF109" is aimed at the aircraft carriers in the British Mediterranean Fleet, in fact, at this time the British aircraft carrier "Eagle", is no longer useful, but the German army still inherited the tradition of hitting the airfield first.

"Boom...... Boom ......"

More than 60 percent of the dozens of rockets hit the British aircraft carrier, and then produced a violent explosion, which was mixed with a particularly violent explosion, which overturned the upper deck of the "Eagle" aircraft carrier. It turned out to be a torpedo hanging under the torpedo machine docked on the "Eagle" aircraft carrier, which was detonated by a rocket, and a series of explosions of more than a dozen heavy torpedoes were earth-shattering. The huge body of the "Eagle" aircraft carrier was blown up and sunk and floated, like duckweed on the water.

Then the British aircraft carrier was enveloped in flames, and the fire continued to detonate the bombs on the aircraft carrier. The British aircraft carrier was completely finished, and there was no possibility of rescue at all. The commander of the British aircraft carrier was not killed and hurriedly gave the order to abandon the ship.

The first round of attacks achieved such great results. This surprised everyone, and Cunningham, the commander of the British Mediterranean Fleet, was even more distressed and almost cried, but before Cunningham could cry, the second wave of German dive bombardment began, and now it was the turn of the British battleships.

"Boom...... Streaming down...... Boom ......"

Even if the upper deck of the British battleship is not the thickest place, it will not be less than 100 mm thick, and the 31-kilogram rocket is really ineffective, and the huge battery can't be blown up, but the anti-aircraft guns on these four British battleships are not thickly armored, and the second wave of attacks will make the loss rate of the anti-aircraft guns on the four British battleships reach 60 percent.

The third wave of bombardment followed, and the British Mediterranean fleet could only be passively bombed, Cunningham hurriedly ordered his fleet to disperse, and for the latest airborne use of rockets, Cunningham was forced to disperse his fleet.

"Woooooooooo......oo Woowoo...... Boom ......"

Cunningham's fleet made great efforts to let go of the fleet, and the separation was separated, but the relative anti-aircraft firepower was also weakened, and the British warships were less involved in each other's defense, and the British Mediterranean Fleet was miserable again, because the German bombers that came behind were all 500 kilograms of aerial bombs, and even the battleships could not carry the aerial bombs of this level.

"Woooooooooo......oo Woowoo...... Boom ......"

The British warships began to flee and collapsed, can the warships escape the planes? Of course not, the warships of the British Mediterranean Fleet were named one by one, first rockets, so that the British warships lost their anti-aircraft weapons, then aerial bombs, and then the JU89 strategic bombers finished up, sending all these wounded, unable to escape, and British warships with no ability to resist to the bottom of the sea. This basically turned into a unilateral massacre, and Sir Cunningham's flagship, the battleship "Sovereign", was also sent to the bottom of the sea, and Cunningham himself disappeared with the huge warship.

The British Mediterranean Fleet was wiped out by the strategic bombardment of the German army.

……

In February 1937, Nazi Germany began to implement the "uranium program". Some British scientists proposed that the atomic bomb should be built before Nazi Germany. At this time, Germany's advanced weapons and German combat effectiveness also made the British Allied forces deeply feel that it would be difficult to defeat Germany in the future with only conventional weapons, so Roosevelt began to implement the top-secret project "Manhattan Project" at the suggestion of British Allied scientists.

By August 6, 1940, the United States had officially formulated a top-secret program codenamed "Manhattan". President Roosevelt gave this plan "special priority above all actions." The scale of the "Manhattan" project is staggering. Since it was not known which of the three methods of splitting uranium-235 was the best, the fission work had to be carried out simultaneously using all three methods. This complex project became a melting pot of British science, and a large number of scientists from all over the world, led by Oppenheimer, gathered in the "Manhattan" project management area.
