493 attack on the sea

With Li Haoran's shout, a Lei Gong 1 dive bomber led by him rushed directly down from the clouds with a whistling sound. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

And Li Haoran followed behind this dive bomber, and aimed his nose at a Ceylon battleship that was firing on the sea in the distance.

Behind the Lei Gong 1 dive bomber piloted by Li Haoran, there were the third and fourth, followed by the fifth and sixth such bombers.

Beneath the wings of these dive bombers were a huge 500-kilogram bomb, the heaviest bomb ever found on Luzon.

When these dive bombers dived and attacked, the observation posts in charge of the lookout on the masts of the Ceylon battleships finally spotted these deadly threats falling from the sky.

"Enemy planes! Enemy planes are coming! A sentry with earplugs, pointing to the sky and shouting loudly to his companions.

His companion was also wearing earplugs, and he couldn't hear what the other was saying at all. I was confused for a second, followed the direction of the other party's fingers, and then I saw a dive bomber approaching in the distance.

Because the battleships were equipped with large-caliber main guns, these 356-mm guns brought a shock and sound when they fired, which was also a kind of damage to the sailors of the ship.

So, when the battleship opened fire, there were generally no people standing on the deck. Everyone hid in the relatively safe cabin, and the deafening sound was much quieter when it was cut off.

Of course, when the battleship is firing, it is not completely unmanned on the deck, for example, the position responsible for vigilance and lookout is generally still arranged for people to be on duty.

And these soldiers on duty often wear earplugs to protect their ears. In such an environment, most of these lookout positions are just observing the sea surface.

Compared with the roar of the main guns on the battleship, the original harsh engine vibration of the dive bomber, as well as the screeching sound of the dive, seemed less harsh.

In fact, the Ceylon sentries in charge of the lookout could not hear any other sounds, and they saw the dive bombers in their spare eyes before they began to scream.

"Quick! Fast! Inform the bridge! One of the sentries reminded his companion loudly that he was actually nervous and forgot that shouting was almost useless.

However, the companion in front of him still understood his meaning from his movements. grabbed the intercom in front of him and shouted loudly: "Enemy plane!" There are enemy planes! ”

Ceylon battleships, were designed without anti-aircraft artillery. As for the numerous secondary guns, they are naturally designed on the freeboard, and there is no possibility of raising the angle of fire at all.

Some of the rapid-fire guns on the deck were empty at this time, because there was no protection, and the gunners were still in the cabin to hide from the aftermath and sound of the main gun fire.

At this time, the battleship Zhang Fei was completely like a lamb to the slaughter, and it had no ability to resist at all.

At this moment, the captain of the battleship Zhang Fei was on the bridge, directing his battleship and shelling targets on the shore.

In an instant, when he realized that something was wrong, he did not hear the shouts of the lookout post, but saw a bomb fall on the deck in front of his own bridge.

The 500-kilogram bomb broke away from the belly pylons of the Ming Empire's Lei Gong 1 dive bomber, and then fell on the deck of the battleship with inertia with an indomitable momentum.

The acceleration motion gives this 500 kg aerial bomb a more powerful impact, and at the same time, it also expands the penetration of this bomb exponentially.

It only took a moment for the bomb to penetrate the foredeck of the battleship Zhang Fei, and in the first compartment below the deck, it exploded violently.

The shockwave swept away the wooden decks in front of turret 1, turning them into sharp knives that pushed them in all directions.

The massive explosion twisted the walls of the nearby chambers, and then the walls of the steel of the shaped chambers were cracked and broken, shredding all the soldiers inside.

Before he could say anything, the captain of the battleship Zhang Fei was shaken by the violent vibration under his feet and fell to the ground. Before he could stand up, a second explosion knocked him to the floor.

Li Haoran piloted the second diving Lei Gong 1 dive bomber and dropped his bomb next to the battleship's chimney.

Unlike the bombing point of the first dive plane, as the battleship moved forward and he consciously adjusted its position, his bomb landed in the middle of the hull of the battleship Zhang Fei.

Because there was no long-term delay fuse specially installed for enemy ships, the bombs dropped by the dive bombers of the Ming Empire did not explode deep into the enemy's hull, and they were not able to form the most core damage.

Even so, the bombs were amazingly destructive. The second bomb exploded in the middle of the hull, destroying some of the compartments and damaging a chimney.

At this moment, the battleship Zhang Fei was tragic—its already unfast speed slowed down, and the fire began to burn, and it seemed that the injuries were not light.

Miao Shengye was still worried about his battleship decoy fleet being attacked by the opponent's dive bombers just now. In the blink of an eye, his fears came true, and the other party's attack was immediate.

Watching the battleship Zhang Fei explode and catch fire on the sea in the distance, raising a huge amount of smoke, Miao Shengye stood in the bridge, his hands clenched into fists......

What he feared most became a reality, and the fleet that Ceylon had painstakingly managed was about to be neutralized or even surpassed by the superiority of the opponent's aviation.

Even, as a far-sighted commander, he was even worried about the British fleet, worried about future naval battles, and worried about the possibility of the Ming Empire rising again through air superiority.

"Luzon...... Gotta take it down! This war! It must be ended before the Ming Empire gains power! There are many dreams at night, and it may not be beneficial for us to really procrastinate! Miao Shengye pondered in his heart for a few seconds, and then admonished himself like this.

He wants to end this war as soon as possible, and then enter the next round of peaceful development with dignity. That was Ceylon's last chance, the last chance to maintain a partial advantage over the Ming Empire.

"The battleship fleet accelerated! We are going to lure the battleship fleet of the Ming Empire to a decisive battle, if it is lost in advance, it is not that there is no bait for fishing? Miao Shengye looked at the naval commander on the side and gave the order to speed up the departure of this sea area.
