The commander-in-chief of the Joint Expeditionary Fleet, British Admiral Bridget, really didn't know that there was a kind of warship called an aircraft carrier, and he thought that the Chinese Imperial fighter planes that bombed the Combined Expeditionary Fleet at this time were a kind of seaplane!

But regardless of Bridget's guess where these Imperial Chinese fighters flew from, the bombing of the Royal Chinese Navy's Seahawk bomber group continued.

The first round of bombers that took off from the mythical aircraft carrier was only 15 minutes later and all the aerial bombs were dropped and began to return to the aircraft carrier, but what made the officers and men of the navies of the United Expeditionary Fleet depressed was that the departure of these Chinese Imperial fighters did not mean the end of the bombing, and another Chinese Imperial bomber group flew to the head of their Joint Expeditionary Fleet and continued to carry out lifeless dive bombing of the warships of the Entente and the Central Powers.

The warships in the middle of the joint expeditionary fleet are more unlucky than the warships on the left and right, and the warships in the middle have entered the range of the seven provincial-level super dreadnought battleships of the Imperial Chinese Navy, and they not only have to withstand 800 kg of heavy aerial bombs falling from the sky, but also have to withstand a 406-mm giant artillery shell weighing nearly 1 ton.

The H199 Sea Hawk bomber is one of the second round of bomber groups, and the captain Hyun Shixun is only 20 years old this year, a native of Yalu River Province, of Korean nationality, graduated from the Beijing Air Force Academy, and is the youngest bomber captain in the naval aviation.

At this time, Xuan Shixun was looking through the Sea Eagle bomber observation mirror with a solemn face, observing more than 5,000 meters below. The situation of the warships of the joint expeditionary fleet on the sea, at this time the second round of bombers has been divided into 3 units. They flew to the heads of the left, center, and right sub-fleets of the Joint Expeditionary Fleet, and some of the Sea Hawk bombers had already selected their targets. Begin to dive towards the surface of the sea, preparing to drop bombs on selected targets.

Xuan Shixun shouted to the pilot Cheng Hu while looking at the observation glass: "Brother Tiger, fly in the direction of 1 o'clock, there is a big guy there, it should be one of the Provence-class dreadnought battleships of the French Navy, we will choose it!" ”

Pilot Cheng Hu shouted: "Understand the captain! Then he turned the Sea Hawk bomber to 1 o'clock and flew towards a large warship of the Combined Expeditionary Fleet.

Xuan Shixun's eyes did not take off the observation glass, and he then ordered: "Brother Zhang, Brother Liu, prepare to suppress firepower!" Brother Wang and Ryoko checked the bomb dropping device again. Listen to my orders at any time and prepare to drop bombs! ”

Brother Zhang and Brother Liu, the firemen of the H199 Seahawk bomber, as well as Brother Wang and Liangzi, the bombardiers, shouted in unison: "Yes, captain!" ”

Of the 6 people in the entire crew, Xuan Shixun is the second-to-last in age, only the bombardier Ryoko is a few months younger than Xuan Shixun, but after a long run-in, the other members of the crew agree with Xuan Shixun's ability very much, and at this time they did not hesitate to implement Xuan Shixun's order.

Firefighters Brother Zhang and Brother Liu. Each person controls half of the Seahawk bomber's self-defense weapons, with 1 14.5 mm cannon and 2 Type 96 heavy machine guns with a caliber of 7.9 mm.

The Seahawk bomber had 2 bomb ports. If it is a small aerial bomb, multiple bombs can be dropped together, but the second round of Sea Hawk bombers is the same as the first. In order to deal with the big guys of the joint expeditionary fleet, they all carried 800 kg of aerial bombs. So a maximum of 2 heavy aerial bombs of 800 kg can be dropped at a time.

The six crew members of the H199 Seahawk bomber were well aware of the danger of this bombing mission. But they, like the crews of other Sea Hawk bombers, had put life and death on the line, hoping only that the first appearance of the Royal Naval Air Force of the Chinese Empire would surprise the whole world and give the combined expeditionary fleet of the Entente and the Central Powers an unforgettable memory.

Before the bombing, as the captain, Xuan Shixun told the other five crew members that although this bombing mission is not a dead life, the degree of danger is also quite large, after all, there are too many warships in the joint expeditionary fleet, so the formation of anti-aircraft fire will be very, very dense, and the Sea Eagle bomber must dive to a position within 1500 meters of the sea surface in order to bomb accuracy, in order to drop the bomb, and the probability of being shot down will be infinite.

If someone is unwilling to participate in this bombing mission, they can bring it up, and Hyun Se-hoon will report to his superiors and arrange a replacement.

It was Brother Zhang, the firepower of Shandong people, who scratched his head at the time and said: "Although my culture is not high, I also know the truth of knowing the kindness of retribution, the folks in our hometown can live a good life today, all by the gift of the emperor and his old man, my father sent me to be a soldier, just to serve the emperor, now those foreign devils come to the door, I can't be a bear bag!" Besides, my family still has 4 brothers, that is, I am glorious, and they have done their filial piety to my father and mother, I must participate in this bombing. ”

Brother Li, who is also a fireman, is a native of Heilongjiang in Northeast China, and he is also the oldest in the crew, but he is only 28 years old this year, and after Brother Zhang finished speaking, he said loudly: "Brother will not be a soft egg, otherwise how can I have the face to go home to see my wife and children, that is, my brother is glorious, and the wife and children at home are also taken care of by the emperor and the state. ”

Pilot Cheng Hu, who is also a graduate of the Beijing Air Force Academy, said categorically after the two firefighters: "This decisive battle between the main force of our Royal Navy and the combined expeditionary fleet of the Entente and the Allied Powers is very important to this war. I am willing to defend my Chinese empire with my blood! ”

Brother Wang, the bombardier, also nodded and said: "I can't say anything big, but I know that we are soldiers and eat food just to prevent foreigners from bullying us like the Qing Dynasty did, and now that foreigners are here again, there is nothing to say." Let's go! ”

Ryoko, the youngest bombardier in the crew, also said excitedly: "I'm not afraid of death!" If you are afraid of death, you will not come to be a soldier, this bombing mission. I must attend. ”

Finally, Hyun Se-hoon waved his fist and said, "Okay! Brothers, let's smash the bastards of the Entente and the Allies! This time, our H199 Seahawk bomber must take out a big guy! ”

Heard Hyun Se-hoon's order in the cabin. The firefighters Brother Zhang and Brother Liu had already arrived at their firing position, ready to fire at any time, and the bombardiers Brother Wang and Liangzi also checked the two 800-kilogram aerial bombs that had been loaded on the bomb port to ensure that the two aerial bombs could be thrown smoothly.

Soon after, Xuan Shixun ordered loudly: "Brother Tiger, swoop down!" Brother Zhang, Brother Liu, fire cover! ”

It turned out that the H199 Sea Hawk bomber had already flown diagonally above the French Navy's Provence-class dreadnought battleship below, so the H199 Sea Hawk bomber began to dive downward sharply from an altitude of more than 5,000 meters, ready to drop bombs.

This Provence-class dreadnought battleship was the French Navy Charlotte. When the French naval officers and sailors of the Charlotte discovered that there was a fighter plane of the Chinese Empire and dived towards their warship, the 14 47mm anti-aircraft guns and 12 anti-aircraft machine guns on the warship suddenly poured fire on the H199 Seahawk bomber to intercept the H199 Seahawk bomber from dropping bombs on the Charlotte.

The first round of bombing by the Sea Hawk bomber group had already frightened the French naval officers and men of the Charlotte, and during the first round of bombing, three warplanes of the Chinese Empire also made a dive on the Charlotte at a distance of about 1,500 meters. 2 aerial bombs were dropped, but fortunately, these 6 aerial bombs all fell into the sea hundreds of meters or even hundreds of meters away from the Charlotte, and did not cause any damage to the Charlotte, followed by 1 bombed Chinese Imperial fighter. In the ascent after dropping the bomb, it was hit by the anti-aircraft cannon of the Charlotte, and the volley exploded.

However, not far from the Charlotte is the Russian Navy's Russian-class dreadnought battleship Orenburg. But it was not as lucky as the Charlotte, which was only dropped by 1 fighter plane of the Chinese Empire with 2 aerial bombs. One of them hit the Orenburg, causing the Orenburg to capsize due to a severe water leak. Now less than a quarter of the Orenburg is still above the surface.

Although in the first round of bombing of the Chinese Imperial fighters, the Charlotte did not suffer any losses, but the sinking of the Russian Navy's Russian-class dreadnought battleship Orenburg cast a shadow on the French officers and sailors of the Charlotte, and when a group of bombers from the Chinese Empire flew over, the French officers and men of the Charlotte scolded their mothers almost at the same time.

"Knock-knock-knock-"

"Dada-da-"

The French naval officers and sailors on the Charlotte used anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns to fire fiercely at the H199 Seahawk bomber, but the speed of the H199 Seahawk bomber was too fast, and the 14 47mm anti-aircraft guns on the Charlotte were not fast, it was difficult to aim at the H199 Seahawk bomber, and the anti-aircraft guns installed on the warships of the entire Entente and Allied countries were not high, which was also one of the reasons why the Seahawk bombers dared to dive and bomb the warships of the Joint Expeditionary Fleet. If the warships of the Entente and the Central Powers were equipped with anti-aircraft guns with a relatively high rate of fire, it did not mean that the Sea Hawk bombers would not dare to dive and bomb them, but in that case, the losses would be even greater, and the success rate of the bombing would be reduced.

Therefore, the gunners of the French Navy anti-aircraft guns of the Charlotte could only fire by feeling, and many of the bullets from the anti-aircraft machine guns were bounced off by the fuselage of the H199 Seahawk bomber, so that the H199 Seahawk bomber quickly dived to a place less than 1,500 meters above the sea surface.

Pilot Cheng Hu reported loudly: "Captain, it's already 1,500 meters!" ”

Captain Hyun Se-hoon's eyes still did not leave the observation scope, and he shouted: "Continue to dive, the current position is not good!" ”

The closer to the sea, the higher the success rate of the bomb, but the greater the chance of being hit by the anti-aircraft fire of the warship below, but the pilot Cheng Hu heard the order of the captain Xuan Shixun, without the slightest hesitation, and continued to control the H199 Sea Hawk bomber to dive down to the sea.

"Captain, 1400 meters!"

"Keep diving!"

"Captain, 1300 meters!"

"Go on!"

At this time, Brother Li, the fireman who was firing fiercely at the Charlotte on the sea, sighed, 1 bullet from the anti-aircraft machine gun penetrated the fuselage, and drew a blood groove on Brother Li's arm, fortunately it did not directly hit Brother Li's arm, otherwise the bullets of the anti-aircraft machine gun were all more than 10 mm, and Brother Li's arm could be broken in two at once.

Although many of the bullets of the anti-aircraft machine gun were bounced off by the alloy steel plates on the fuselage of the Seahawk bomber, it was not so absolute, otherwise the fireman Brother Li would not have been injured.

"Brother Li, you're injured!" Bombardier Ryoko exclaimed.

"Leave me alone, I'm fine!" After saying that, Brother Li gritted his teeth, did not deal with the bloody arm at all, and continued to control the machine gun and anti-aircraft machine gun to shoot at the anti-aircraft fire of the Charlotte.

Another bombardier, Brother Wang, shouted to Ryoko: "Ryoko, don't be distracted, wait for orders." ”

Ryoko nodded and replied loudly, "Uh-huh! "Continue to hold the lever of the bomb port with your hand.

When Xuan Shixun heard that Brother Li was injured, he couldn't help but shake the hand holding the observation mirror harder, but his eyes were still fixed on the observation glass, and he shouted: "Keep diving!" Get ready to drop the bomb! ”

At this time, it has reached the most critical moment, although Xuan Shixun heard that Brother Li was injured, he did not dare to be distracted, otherwise he would probably miss the best opportunity to drop the bomb.

"Captain, 1100 meters!" Pilot Cheng Hu almost shouted with a roar.

Xuan Shixun suddenly shouted at this time: "Drop the bomb!" ”

Bombardier Wang Ge and Liangzi almost at the same time as Xuan Shixun's shout sounded, they exerted their strength and pulled down the lever of the bomb port, and then two 800-kilogram aerial bombs broke away from the engine room of the H199 Sea Hawk bomber and quickly fell to the sea on the French Navy's Provence-class dreadnought battleship Charlotte.

Then Xuan Shixun immediately shouted: "Brother Tiger, pull it up!" (To be continued......)
