Chapter 149 The power of diving

Schmidt had thirty ju87s in his hand. He could not have assigned the aircraft to attack the ship in detail. Schmidt only gave a general order:

"The first team attacks the enemy's flagships, the second team dives and bombs the enemy's light cruisers, the third team flies against the sea, and shoots torpedoes to attack the enemy's light cruisers, and act immediately."

Schmidt first aimed at the main warship in Rutt's squadron. The damage value of the dive torpedo of this kind is that of a light cruiser is seriously injured. If it loses combat effectiveness, two of them will be judged to sink. After being accelerated by the dive bomber, this torpedo hit the ship's weak armor at a speed of more than 1,000 kilometers per hour. The hit is at least a large hole more than ten meters.

The five light cruisers of the Rutte squadron are Konisburg, Cologne, Karlsruhe, Laibiz and Ningbo.

The first group of aircraft led by Schmidt, the cross Ju87 dive bombers, began to occupy their own attack positions. Schmidt divided his cross into two groups. The first group dived from high altitude, and the second group flew close to the sea, and fired torpedoes at an equal distance of one thousand meters from the Cologne. Schmidt thought his arrangement was good and the attack was launched soon.

"Dada...Dada...Wuwuwu"

All the anti-aircraft guns on the twenty ships under the Rutte squadron began to shoot fiercely. The German ship's air defense firepower was not weak, and countless plastic inkjet warheads were shuttled through the air, but the diving bomber was extremely fast at this time, and it only took a few seconds to dive from more than 5,000 meters of air to about one thousand meters. Although the anti-aircraft gunfire of the ship below was dense, it could not stop the ju87, which was diving at a speed of more than 1,000 kilometers per hour.

Schmidt was the first to dive. Countless anti-aircraft shells chased Mister's planes, but when the shells flew away, Mister's planes had already dived a long way. Those anti-aircraft shells, like whips, chased Mister's planes, but did not hit Schmidt's planes.

"Wuwuwu" Ju87 made a shrill sound. Mister kept adjusting the dive direction of his plane in the air, because the Cologne below was constantly taking the z-shaped route. This method still had a certain effect on the aviation bombs dropped by horizontal bombers, but for the dive bombers of Ju87, it was basically ineffective. Schmidt's pilots had participated in the Flying Eagle Legion. All the ju87 pilots also went to air strikes against Japanese aircraft carriers, and the evasive actions of the ships below were destined to be useless.

"call……"

When Schmidt dived one thousand meters above Cologne, he pressed the bomb drop button. A thousand kilograms of torpedo roared and hit the Cologne below with lightning. With a loud "bang", the torpedo burst, and the red ink sputtered everywhere.

OK! Cologne dropped only a plastic cuttle-jet torpedo weighing more than one hundred kilograms. Schmidt felt his fuselage light and quickly pulled the joystick. Schmidt's landline ju87 roared again and climbed up quickly at a nearly vertical angle.

A ju87 dive bomber that followed Schmidt closely but did not break through the air defense fire network. He was hit by the inkjet exercise bomb. The pilot had to shake his wings at the ship below, saying that he had shot down and was now withdrawing from the exercise. His fuselage was more than a dozen recesses, and the entire fuselage was filled with blue ink. The ammunition of Li Mo and Redel were of different colors, the red plastic inkjet bomb used by Li Mo. The blue plastic inkjet bomb used by Marshal Redel, which is a good difference.

There was a special staff officer on the Cologne who was hit and was not affiliated with any party to the exercise. The Cologne was quickly sent to the command headquarters of the exercise headquarters by a heavy torpedo. Cologne was immediately judged to be seriously injured. Rutt had no choice. Rutt cursed in his heart: "How come this damn dive bomber didn't find it so powerful!"

The air strike continued. After the second ju87 exited the exercise, a ju87 followed one after another. This ju87 successfully broke through the air defense net of the ship below, and a torpedo fell down again. "Bang..." The Cologne was directly hit in the middle of the ship, and the red ink flying everywhere splashed the central part of the Cologne everywhere.

Rutt happened to be on the aviation podium, and the red ink also splashed his face. Now Rutt was in tears and murmured to himself:

"It's over, why do I explain to Marshal Redel! I hate the ju87 dive bomber... Damn... Alas... I hang up the white flag and indicate that I'll withdraw from the exercise."

Schmidt's first dive bomber lost one, but the ju87 that flew casually and fired torpedoes could not break through the defense circle composed of destroyers below. This method of air-firing torpedoes on the water surface was very traditional. The destroyers below were easy to defend. Besides, the ju87's flight speed was not very fast, only more than 300 kilometers per hour.

Schmidt's first group, Ju87 dive bombers, attacked one after another, but the tragedy was tragic. The three first families were covered with blue ink. They immediately withdrew from the exercise. The two behind were helpless and shot two torpedoes at the destroyer from afar. As a result, one destroyer of Rutt's squadron was hit. The result was also good. Three Ju87 dive bombers replaced one of Rutt's destroyers. Although this replacement was cost-effective,

Li Mo absolutely did not dare because Li Mo's aircraft carrier formation had only 30 ju87s, and there were 30 spare ju87s. How could Li Mo replace the aircraft at this rate? It takes three to replace a destroyer, and how many ju87s are needed to replace the light cruiser, battleships, etc.? The battle loss ratio is definitely not three. By then, the Redell fleet has not been completely wiped out. I am afraid that Li Mo will replace all his ju87s.

Schmidt, who had climbed into the air, quickly knew the result and immediately knew the frustrating result. Schmidt quickly ordered his flight regiment:

"All aircraft can only use dive bombing, and do not use the method of shooting torpedoes under sea and air unless they have to."

By the time Schmidt issued the order, his fleet had already six more ju87s shot down because they wanted to shoot torpedoes in the air. Fortunately Schmidt corrected it early, and all the planes were pulled into the air and dive bombing. The Rutt squadron was miserable. The "woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Schmidt couldn't believe this result. Rutt's squadron had only twenty warships in total, and eighteen were destroyed. This was the fate of the fleet without aircraft cover. Especially the precise bombing of high-speed dive bombers like Ju87, which was simply a nightmare for warships, and it was simply unpredictable.
