When Major peeked out from behind the coal ladle where he was hiding, he could no longer see clusters of black smoke rising from the northwest direction of the harbor, but the situation in the harbor was not very clear.

Within half an hour of the start of the air raid, almost all of the two squadrons and more than 20 army planes in the airfield were destroyed on the ground, and the oil depot at the airport caught fire, followed by a large explosion, and a huge column of smoke flew into the air one or two thousand meters into the air......

At this time, his first reaction was to rush to the lighthouse, intending to confirm with his own eyes the losses caused by this air raid to the Ocean Fleet.

"Wait, Zhou, where are you going?" Major Braun, the reception officer, wanted to stop Zhou Shuren, but he was not strong enough, just a quarter of an hour ago, an enemy plane dragging black smoke fell crookedly, and exploded next to Braun, and the powerful impact knocked down the unlucky guy, plus a sharp metal pipe pierced into his thigh-

On the boiling docks, no one paid attention to the Chinese naval officer who had buried his head in climbing the lighthouse.

Panting fiercely, he stepped past the last steps, and the ocean fleet, which was crooked, was once again unreservedly displayed in front of Zhou Shuren.

Of the eight ships of the 1st Squadron of battleships in the farthest distance, six ships have shown significant roll; Of the seven ships of the third squadron of battleships in the middle, the last two ships also seemed to be slightly tilted to the starboard side; On the other hand, the six ships of the second squadron, which consisted entirely of old battleships, looked unscathed.

In this way, in just half an hour, more than half of the fifteen dreadnoughts of the Ocean Fleet have been damaged by bullets!

Judging by the fact that none of the damaged battleships caught fire and burned, it must have been caused entirely by a torpedo attack. Even if a German dreadnought, which was fueled purely by coal and had excellent protection performance, it would probably be difficult for it to catch fire or explode even if it was hit by multiple torpedoes at the same time.

The sky was densely filled with smoke from airburst bombs, and Zhou Shuren thought: Thank God that they weren't hit by the falling shrapnel, are these guys jerking off or setting off fireworks for fun?

Before he could wake up, a dense patch of small black dots surged out on the sea antenna to the north......

Lieutenant Commander C*B. Ram's second strike wave followed Lieutenant Commander Hull's first strike wave and flew over the Ocean Fleet at 8:50 p.m.

22 "Seal Cub" fighters, 51 "Du" and 5 "Cuckoo" guides, a large formation of 78 aircraft in total (84 fell at the time of departure). With a neat and calm attitude, they were quickly and orderly divided into more than a dozen air control groups and lightning strike groups, closely coordinated, and braved the smoke of bullets in the sky to bravely assault!

Although Lieutenant Colonel Ram is not clear about the results of the first attack on Poland, looking down from the air, the inclination of the enemy ship is undoubtedly the most convenient criterion for judging damage, and it is right to concentrate his forces to attack the enemy ship with the smallest inclination-

Roughly five or six minutes after the second attack wave launched its attack, it took off at the same time as the first attack wave, but because of its slow speed, it fell behind the so-called "supplementary attack team" after the second attack wave. Finally caught up with the coordinated operation with the second attack wave.

The supplementary attack team of Rear Admiral Green consisted of 4 Schott S20 seaplanes taking off from the 18 water engine carrier, after a long three-hour flight. On the way, 3 aircraft failed and returned home, 1 plane crashed in Kiel Bay, and only 16 aircraft successfully flew to the target.

Each aircraft of the supplementary attack team carried one 250-pound (114 kg) and 2100 (454 kg) bombs, and after entering the target area, each aircraft selected a suitable target to carry out horizontal bombing.

For a moment, I saw a huge column of impure water containing seabed sludge suddenly rise one after another, and then turned into a torrential rain, washing the deck of the giant ship on the crooked ground. At the same time, around the hulls of the dry dock and slipway, which were supported by intricate wooden frames, bursts of light burst one after another, and occasionally one or two bombs were piled up with construction materials in the middle of the hull. Ignited a blazing fire.

Seeing this tragic situation, Zhou Shuren didn't care about being in danger, and turned around the tower lamp, wanting to see the whole picture of this unilateral massacre as clearly as possible.

"Where are the German planes ......"

Just as he was talking to himself. A black biplane with a black-and-white iron cross painted under its wings swayed crookedly from the front of the lighthouse and plunged into the water near the dock.

Less than an hour after Kiel's attack, the first batch of German planes arrived from the Hyde base, 80 kilometers off the coast of the Gulf of Helgoland. The two Army Aviation Squadrons, consisting of Lieutenant Heinland and Lieutenant Hans, had a total of 25 Fokker E fighters.

More than 20 "Seal Packs" of the British Army, which were on the task of air supremacy, immediately met them, [after a dog-eat-dog dog-eat-dog dog-like aerial scuffle, 7 "Seal Packs" and 12 "Fokker" crashed (the loss of Fokker aircraft included accidental damage from their own anti-aircraft guns), and another 7 "Cuckoos" and 2 Schott S184s were killed by Fokker

When the 20 Fokker E, 120 miles away, arrived at the Westland base, the British ground air raid had come to an end, and the low-speed Schott 184 returned first after finishing the bomb, and the "Cuckoo", which had unloaded its torpedo load, was flying at full speed to the open sea to assemble, and the "Seal Cub" fighter squadron was covering behind.

The Westland Falkker pursued the sea for a while, and after shooting down several British planes that were wounded and straggled, because they did not dare to stay away from the coastline and the British fighters were well covered, they had to return in a huff, and 3 were shot down during the battle, and the other 2 were destroyed when they landed.

The fighter squadron of the Wilhelmshaven base, 160 miles away, arrived over the port of Kiel after 9:30 a.m., with the first batch of 15 planes, the second batch of 22 planes, and the third group could only stare at the harbor with thick smoke and could not return to the sky.

Before being "invited" to get off the lighthouse by several Germanic muscular men with tall horses, Major Zhou Shuren made a decision on the losses caused by the 80-minute daylight air raid to the Ocean Fleet, such as the squadron leader No. 1 ship overturned, exposing the bottom of the ship; Ships No. 2 to No. 6 in the rear of the platoon are either heavily tilted or the upper deck is too close to the waterline; There is no water on the upper deck of the No. 7 ship, and it is suspected that it is sitting on the bottom; Ship No. 8 to the left |. +., exposing the bottom of the starboard ship, the upper deck of the No. 7 ship at the end of the 3rd team is empty, and the hull is slightly trimmed, and the ship is tilted ten degrees to the right, and the rest of the ships are unhindered...... The dry dock on the south bank and the slipways on both sides of the strait were also bombed by the enemy, and fires broke out in many places, and it seemed that the fire on the hull of a new type of war cruiser was heavier......

Regarding the losses of the British army, Major Zhou wrote in the eyewitness report: "When the first wave of British planes came, the sky was full of smoke, but there were very few hits...... Half an hour before and after, a rough calculation, but more than ten planes were down. About a quarter of an hour after the second wave of British planes came, German planes from elsewhere came to their aid, and there was a chaotic battle for a while, and both sides were damaged, and the wreckage that fell one after another was difficult to distinguish between Britain and Germany, and the British planes accounted for two-thirds of the total number of about 50 crashes......
