Chapter 1075: Battle at Sea (4)
"Fire, let all the guns in the fleet, pistols and rifles, fire at me in the air and take down these strange flying machines.
Brother Su is on top, even if you drive these guys away.
Also, inform the fleet to move at full speed towards the Xuange Battalion fleet; Perhaps as long as they get close enough, they will stop the air attack for fear of accidental injury.
Then as fast as you can, get away from this damn strait.
Everything else, everything else, it doesn't matter."
After being stunned for about ten seconds, Jackie Fisher, the commander of the expeditionary fleet, finally reacted under a spirit.
With amazing strength, he pushed away the captain who was supporting him and shouted wildly in his mouth.
After shouting, he rushed out of the command tower quickly.
With his white-gloved right hand, he pulled out a revolver at his waist, which was usually used as a complete decoration, and constantly pulled the trigger on at least a dozen or so planes that were already heading towards him.
While firing, the third minister of the navy of the Great Yin Empire was still cursing loudly in his mouth:
"Damn it, get out of the way, don't get close to my battleship, the battleship of the Great Yin Empire."
In Jackie Fisher's shout, it was evidently filled with a huge cry; The reason why this is the case is that when Xiaomei dropped a bomb, it directly reimbursed the 'Flying Flight'.
He knew that it was over, and not only the transport fleet in the rear was finished.
Even the main fleet of the expeditionary fleet is going to be finished.
The only suspense is, how many warships will be left after this battle, and will the 'Sovereign', the artifact of the Great Yin Empire's navy, survive?
And if the fleet is completely wiped out here by the Xuange battalion, it will also be a huge disaster for the Great Yin Empire.
Because with Jackie Fisher's status and vision, he clearly knows one thing:
Don't look at the big yin known as the 'empire on which the sun never sets', now the scenery is infinite.
But once they showed the slightest sign of weakness, Guo Jia such as Deba, Uncle Sam's family, Mao Zi, and even their so-called allies now.
Based on the peep into the colonies and status of the Great Yin Empire, he will definitely pounce on it viciously and bite it.
Jeffie Fisher, who realized this, now can't care about his reputation, status, and punishment afterwards, and he can't even manage the tens of thousands of his own army in the rear transport fleet.
There is only one thought, to escape from this damned strait with the Sovereign and as many warships as possible.
Then return to Europa, which is not what the Far East wants.
After all, the Great Yin Empire's sea strength is strong, but it can't support their colonies too much, and it takes too many fleets to defend so many raw material production areas and commodity dumping grounds.
These colonies are also the cornerstone of the glory of the Great Yin Empire.
In short, Jackie Fisher is definitely a clear person, and the general tactics and decisions of all-out air defense and 'breaking the tail to survive' are also quite decisive and correct.
The point is whether such air defense has any effect?
And in the end, how many people and warships of their fleet will be able to escape? For now, some of these questions will be marked with a big question mark......
******
What's that! The pistol and rifle air defense means of the Yin Expeditionary Fleet are still somewhat effective.
Especially under Fisher's orders, and the fear of these air killers, and the instinct to survive.
For a time, on the deck of each battleship, a large number of sailors gathered, rifles and pistols in their hands and frantically opened fire on their opponents.
Let the dense small-caliber bullets fight back into the air.
When the slight sound of 'dong dong~' reached Lao Ping's ears, the novice rookie who was operating the bomber to fly towards the target of the 'Sovereign'.
Immediately, instinctively, he pulled the control stick of his own number 'Xuan 003' bomber and began to increase in altitude.
No way! With limited power, in order to increase the bomb load of the aircraft as much as possible, there are also key data such as speed.
In the previous time, he and the people in the wolf green manufacturing team could only reduce the weight of the plane itself as much as possible.
In this way, the entire fuselage is not protected from anything.
Not to mention that like the ground attack aircraft of the modern plane, in key positions such as the bottom of the cockpit, there are some armor protection and other designs.
So, in order not to be unlucky enough to be hit by a bullet, or a critical part such as the engine.
The bomber pilots, who were now hovering over the entire expeditionary fleet, had to pull the control stick like Lao Ping and raise the altitude.
Raised to a height of four or five hundred meters, escaping the maximum range of 400 meters of the Lee Medford rifle.
At this height, even if the bullet hits the fuselage and penetrates the plank, it will not be able to cause more damage.
The increase in altitude naturally causes the accuracy of bomb delivery to become less and less accurate for a group of rookie pilots.
Soon after, most of the bombs that fell from the plane landed in the seawater, blowing up a large amount of seawater, fish, shrimp and crabs into the sky.
The damage to the battleship itself is not too large.
But so what?
Of all the bombers that were the largest bombers before takeoff, each of them had as many as eight 250-kilogram bombs in its belly.
As long as one hits, it can inflict a terrifying damage on these warships that do not have the slightest concept of air defense and bombing protection.
This is not! The bomber where the big fish was, after dropping two bombs in a row, the entire fuselage was noticeably lighter.
Holding the joystick, a big fish hovered over, and by the way, he glanced down at his results.
I was pleasantly surprised to find these two bombs, one of which landed on a 3,000-ton French destroyer "Sea Express" below, a little to the left.
The hull of the ship shook violently, and the bow began to drift.
Another bomb landed right on top of the conning tower.
Even if the ship is relatively new, the Horse of the Sea is equipped with a strong enough armor in the conning tower, it is only against the power of the ship's guns.
There are only twenty or thirty kilograms of picric acid explosives in the naval artillery, which can be compared with the aerial bombs that contain almost 200 kilograms of TNT.
In the explosion of the rising air waves, the flight attitude of the plane was a little unbalanced.
The entire command tower on the Sea Express disappeared, along with all the crew members, including the captain, staff officer, and helmsman.
Of course, the power of such an explosion is not enough to destroy an advanced destroyer of more than 3,000 tons.
However, it also managed to make the thing inoperable, and with the maximum horsepower of the boiler below, the 'Sea Express' lived up to his coquettish name.
With its bow tilted, at a speed of 24.5 knots, it collided with the cruiser Sunflower as it accelerated to the right of a French warship that was trying to rush to the Xuange Battalion fleet and escape from the strait.
Even after discovering such a scene, the captain of the 'Sunflower' screamed in horror.
The helmsman frantically turned the rudder and controlled his ship to maneuver and dodge.
It's a pity that in order to escape from the Strait of Malacca as soon as possible, the fleets of the two countries are now, where is there any formation to speak of.
One, even one, was fleeing at full speed in front of them, and the distance between the above two ships was only three or four hundred meters.
Soon after, there was a loud bang from the impact.
The Sea Horse lost control, and the bow of the ship crashed headlong into the middle of the left side of the Sunflower.
The powerful impact directly tore a terrifying and unstoppable hole in the left position of the 'Sunflower'.
The perpetrator of the 'Sea Horse' was not much better, the bow was badly deformed, and it also tore a big hole.
Without exception, both ships were flooded with seawater, sending them into the countdown to sink......
At the same time, Lao Ping, a novice rookie, faced a bomb that had just been thrown empty and did not cause any results, because of anger in his heart, he spit out a mouthful of old phlegm.
It turned out that he forgot that he was currently flying the plane at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour.
It was the old phlegm that left his mouth, and the next second it was blown back by a strong wind, spread it out and pasted on his face, and dried up quickly.
After thinking about it for a while, you can tear a film off your face.
Such an accident almost didn't make this old iron in the Northeast nauseous and depressed to death.
Then, in his frustration, he made a crazy or cruel move, hovering and pressing the nose of the plane, and facing the 'Sovereign' that had just missed the bomb.
Under a large number of dense bullets, he dived headlong.
It's not that this guy is on fire, and he's ready to have a 'kamikaze' impact directly.
Instead, it was prepared to use the nose position, and the three 7.62 mm caliber, air-cooled aviation machine guns were installed on the deck.
Special! Actually use rifle air defense, who is this looking down on?
The bomber that Lao Tzu made when he was almost bald can be prevented so easily?
