Five-seven-seven turret

Sitting in the cockpit, the sky began to enlarge continuously, and he turned his head to look at the smaller and smaller fleet, Meng Xiaodong enjoyed this feeling very much. ※※※※※ I ※ I ※ ※

It's just that the 380mm torpedo under the butt makes the osprey a little sluggish, if before he thought the osprey was a stupid goose, then now it is equivalent to adding another piece of lead to the neck.

However, compared to those opponents in the distance, this unresponsive "stupid goose" is much better, and it doesn't take much experience to see that those SCHOTT 184s are still fighting against the horizon because of their lack of horsepower.

A moment later, the two seaplane formations passed by thousands of meters of void, looking at the torpedoes under the belly of the opponent's plane, which was smaller than his own, Meng Xiaodong let out a cold snort.

Airborne torpedoes were not equipment for the Imperial Royal Navy, and the British Navy's use of airborne torpedoes to sink a merchant ship in the Battle of the Dardanelles had already been transmitted back to China.

The 380 mm aviation torpedo under the belly began to be equipped a few years ago, but because its power was really insufficient, the charge was only 45 kg, and the range of 35 knots / 1000 meters was too short, so the Admiralty abandoned it in the counterattack war, because it was no different from scratching it against a super battleship that could fight 100 kg n underwater at the moment, so the Navy has only purchased a small amount for pilot live-fire training.

At present, the Navy and Air Force are equipped with 450 mm airborne torpedoes, which is what everyone wants, 150 kg charge, range 42 knots / 2000 meters, even if the battleship does not die, it will be peeled off, but the big guy weighs 780 kg, and the Air Force attack aircraft can be carried because it is not limited to run, but it is a little reluctant for the carrier-based dragon tooth attack aircraft that requires take-off at 150 meters, plus the plane itself is also overweight and cannot fly with it, so the emperor will be so concerned about weight reduction.

Looking at the group of enemy planes in the distance, Meng Xiaodong felt a little pity, if he was driving a Hornet at the moment, it was estimated that there would already be a sea of fire in the sky, but this was just a thought, with the survival and endurance of the aircraft carrier, he would never dare to come to the Atlantic Ocean at this time, even if it was escorted by the island level, because at least three or more supply ships would be needed, so the fleet would be too large and the target would be too obvious.

However, looking at these slow wooden lame ducks, actually rushing towards the side of the fleet in formation, Meng Xiaodong had a feeling that he wanted to laugh, the side attack is a big taboo after years of training and confrontation exercises, because of the angle problem, it is almost the time when the fleet's air defense fire is tight, if you want to break through the fleet's air defense fire network from this angle, you have to peel off the skin if you don't die!

Now, let the British see what the Chinese do!

"Number 2, follow me!"

"No. 3, No. 4, No. 5, there are several class destroyers in front of the left, pay attention to the angle of cut, lean in and fight, they don't have anti-aircraft guns!"

After Meng Xiaodong finished assigning the task, he looked at the SCHOTT 184 fleet passing by from a distance, and sneered: "I'm back to clean you up." ”

"Attack!"

Although the 152-mm main gun did not fire into the air, the two twin 130-mm high-level rapid-fire guns on the starboard side took the lead in firing, and black flowers immediately exploded in the blue sky 10,000 meters away.

At the same time, the 12 high-caliber dual-purpose guns of the same caliber on the starboard side of the two Guam-class ships also opened heavy fire, and even the two guns installed on Dongting Lake roared for the first time when they entered the Atlantic Ocean, and the bursting smoke balls carried a large number of fragments, holding up the first umbrella in the sky.

"Boom."

Two unprepared Schott 184s, unable to maneuver due to their loads, were hit by fragments of shells, and the brittle wooden structure split in four or five in the blink of an eye, and one of the torpedoes turned into a ball of fireball before it could reach the surface. (Full text reading, all in. (.i. Want. Wen. Learning Network)

This scene, not to mention the British pilots who were suffering, even Lieutenant General Kafka was dumbfounded, how could such a large-caliber secondary gun have such a large elevation angle to shoot at the air?

Just when the British pilot rushed left and right in the fragments of the shell, the speed of the osprey had also found the target, unlike the other party's battleship as the first target, knowing that he could not move the giant beast with a large number of secondary guns, Meng Xiaodong was not so stupid, what he wanted to do was to knock out the speed guy!

So he chose a Linxian-class cruiser, which appeared for the first time in the Battle of the Golan Bay, and according to the description of German intelligence, this kind of cruiser has a speed of 26 knots and a displacement of 3750 tons, but it has a very big flaw, that is, it is seriously lacking rapid-fire cannons, and the whole ship has only one 47 mm anti-aircraft gun.

This kind of warship is basically no threat to the Guam-class and Yangtze River-class, but it is a great threat to the supply ship, so at least it must be severely damaged.

Thinking of this, Meng Xiaodong flicked the joystick, and the osprey, who had not had time to climb and was flying at a low altitude, suddenly gave up the flank assault and made a detour towards the stern.

The sudden dispersion of the five Ospreys obviously made the British fleet nervous, especially the Galatea, which was clearly targeted, used its speed to maneuver to avoid the vulnerable position.

On the other side at this time, the British pilots were almost desperate, because a total of 24 quadruple 37-mm guns were fired!

The maneuvering 31st fleet kept deflecting the bow, and countless tongues of fire suddenly pulled out on the rickety deck, and these little guys who had been improved many times showed what high speed was, and Li Zhen, who was standing on the machine gun platform, only saw that the four barrels of the quadruple 37-mm machine gun below were constantly flickering, and the second umbrella was propped up at a distance of 8,000 meters.

Dense black smoke exploded from all sides, and the British pilots were already going crazy, they had never seen so many anti-aircraft guns, and what surprised them was that even if the shells were far away, as long as they exploded, the fuselage and wings made a tinkling sound as if they had hit a torrential rain, and before they could scramble to evade, the plane began to sink, lose control and go headlong to download.

In just a few minutes, only five of the ten Schott 184s remained, and even the five who escaped survived the 25-mm rapid-fire machine gun in front of Li Zhen.

At this time, Lao Jiu didn't see the slightest rudeness, stared at an airplane with full attention, and quickly shook the handle to press the enemy plane in the middle of the cross circle.

The sound of the cannon bang was denser than the beat of the drum, and when Li Zhen pressed the shell into the barrel, he couldn't help but look at the targeted Schott 184, only to see that the sky around it seemed to be boiling, and the smoke produced after the explosion was all around.

Lao Jiu gritted his teeth, the barrel hissed non-stop, Li Zhen forgot to check the results of the battle and pressed the magazine back and forth into the barrel, until an explosion came, and everyone saw that the enemy plane that had been aimed at for nearly a minute had turned into a ball of fire and exploded, which was a picture of a torpedo being hit and exploding.

"Hit! Hit! ”

Li Zhen and all the members of the artillery crew shook their fists excitedly, and just as everyone was about to find out where the remaining enemy planes were, two British seaplanes stubbornly came out of the smoke of gunpowder.

Suddenly, all the shells gathered, and Li Zhen's artillery team aimed all their strength at them.

Just when the smoke was already in the distance, there was a whooshing sound from Meng Xiaodong's side, which was the characteristic rhythm of the shells tearing through the air, and the only 47mm anti-aircraft gun on the cruiser Galatea finally fired.

Meng Xiaodong quickly deflected the joystick, the osprey clumsily avoided the route of the whistling shells, and slowly aimed at the stern of the cruiser Galatea, which was maneuvering, and he used all his strength to grasp the joystick that had become stiff due to the load, stared at the scale on the windshield, and began to descend rapidly.

The two Ospreys, one on the left and one on the right, really frightened the sailors on the Galatea, but because they were facing the stern, the anti-aircraft guns in the center could not be aimed, and the remaining six-inch and four-inch guns had too small firing angles to be impossible to aim, so they could only watch stupidly as they flew closer.

When the two ospreys finally approached 700 meters, they saw two torpedoes under the belly of the plane slamming into the water, and without waiting to check the results, Meng Xiaodong, who was light, immediately pulled the control stick with his partner and quickly climbed into the air.

Two white tracks rushed towards the Galatea like lightning, and although it tried to avoid the one on the right, the one on the left still hit the stern, and an explosion suddenly rushed up from the stern of the cruiser, which had just been launched for half a year, and a moment later the thick smoke rose like a column of smoke.

The Galatian, which was surviving at speed, slowed down quickly, but Meng Xiaodong, who circled in the sky, did not have any joy.

The power of the 380-mm torpedo was too small, and although it hit, it did not cause much damage, and this cruiser, which was supposed to have been hit in the stern rudder, will continue to be used in the future as long as it is rescued in time.

However, this is no longer what Meng Xiaodong considered, the relaxed Osprey began to climb rapidly, and at this time the other three also completed the bomb dropping, but unfortunately the speed of the destroyer reached 30 knots, which was very flexible, only one of the three Ospreys completed the task, and the other two returned empty-handed.

"Hehe, don't be discouraged, there's a big guy ahead!" Meng Xiaodong screamed, and quickly rushed towards the huge airship, and the rest of the partners also remembered that there were still them, and they also rushed over with a strange scream.

The shells were still whistling, the glittering fire reflected the red face, and the remaining Schott 184 staggered towards the sea like a drunk

Bump it off.

Just when everyone thought that they had finally eliminated their opponents, the torpedo hanging under its belly suddenly rushed into the water and roared towards the Guam.

"Torpedoes, machine guns!"

In the anxious shouts of the lookout, all the rapid-fire guns in the vicinity aimed at the rushing torpedoes, and even the two rice machine guns joined the chorus.

Incredibly, this torpedo, which was not at a fast speed, magically passed through the incredible net of fire like a leaf at the head of the vicious wave, and crashed headlong into the amidship of the Guam hull.

Li Zhen, like everyone else, slammed the handrail to prepare for the blast, but a miracle happened again, and the expected explosion and water column did not appear.

"Captain, the deck reported that the torpedo did not explode."

The news did not move Li Xiuyan, in fact, even if it exploded, the Guam could block an explosion of this level, in addition to the fact that the main armor belt of the Guam extended more than two meters below the waterline, the underwater anti-torpedo wall was also designed according to the 250-kilogram explosion, so this damage was almost insignificant.

The only thing that surprised him was that he didn't expect his opponents to send planes for the first wave of attacks, just like him.

In fact, he didn't want to fight this battle at all, not because he was afraid of the opponent, but because the American fleet was definitely coming, if he was caught in the siege of two fleets, it would be too dangerous for the 31st fleet, which was alone and lacked a base, and even if he could escape, the cost would be very high, so after discovering the opponent, he immediately chose to evade, and ordered to take off the Osprey and use torpedoes to harass the pursuing opponent.

But he did not expect that his opponent would also think of this solution, and it was clear that the fleet commander did not want to play with his life either.

It's pretty weird!

The 31st fleet has now become a big problem for Britain and the United States, and it can even be said that it has risen to a political task, and it is necessary to fill in the line with his own life, why does this fleet commander not want to do that?

In the distant sky, five huge fireballs caused a burst of cheers in the bridge, but Li Xiuyan didn't feel happy, because he found that the opponent seemed to be missing a capital ship!

Could it be that there is one less ship, which makes him have some scruples? Thinking of this, Li Xiuyan's eyebrows jumped, and he immediately shouted: "Let Meng Xiaodong and them not come back yet, and continue to expand the scope." ”

"Right full rudder, keep speed past them!"

After Li Xiuyan threw down the order, he quickly walked to the chart table, and at this time, the naval guns outside roared again, and even if he didn't have to look at it, he knew that this was the secondary artillery dealing with the remaining three class destroyers approaching at high speed.

At this time, he only had one question, where was the capital ship that was supposed to appear? Although a battleship is not too threatening, after all, no one wants a capital ship that may threaten them and should appear suddenly disappears.

Li Xiuyan held his chin and looked at the charts near Cape Verde, but Lieutenant General Kafka's hands and feet were cold, although he knew that it was impossible to threaten the other party by planes and airships, but he didn't expect them to completely melt after only a few minutes, especially the dense air defense bomb rain just now of the 31st Fleet, reminding him and Britain that Hua had already studied the counterattack tactics after the aircraft intervened in the naval battle!

Watching the opponent's bow pass by himself little by little, Vice Admiral Kafka trembled with anger, the class destroyer didn't hold out for even ten minutes in the terrifying and dense rain of secondary shells on the other side, and the cruiser was hit by the rudder and could no longer move, leaving a few old-fashioned warships and two capital ships with obvious speed inferiority, how can they chase down?!

"Lieutenant General, they turned around, to the north!"

"To the north?" Kafka was stunned for a moment, then jumped up suddenly: "Contact Nick and avoid it immediately!" ”

"Captain, there seems to be a problem with radio communications." The communications officer ran over with an anxious face: "I think you should go and see for yourself, it seems that all the radio stations are broken!" ”

"What!"

Li Xiuyan returned to the bridge and ordered the radio jammer to be turned on, he decided to take a gamble!

Because normally, if the three capital ships were there, the British fleet would not fail to fight, as long as it dragged itself for two to three hours, the American fleet would definitely arrive, but the other one did not appear!

Ambush? No way!

It is impossible to use a battleship with a speed of 20 knots more as an ambush, the surface ambush must have a speed higher than or similar to that of the other party, otherwise they can escape when they see the smoke column, and without destroyers and cruisers, the fleet will not be able to stop the 31st fleet bent on escaping, and at this speed, there will be submarines nearby in time to be dumbfounded.

Then there is only one possibility left, the battleship for some reason was dragged behind and did not arrive! Thinking of this, his heart pounded, and all the destroyers and cruisers of the fleet in intelligence appeared, that is, if the inference was correct, then .......

At 2:50 p.m., he looked at his watch and decided not to cross the Atlantic with the American fleet for the time being, but to continue north!

Half an hour later, he got his harvest because of the reconnaissance report sent by the osprey.

Seventy nautical miles away, a battleship with seven turrets was spotted and was traveling alone at a speed of 15 knots.

Akulkin.

Seven turrets!
