Chapter 210: Escape from Heaven (2)
The British Wellington bomber carries 9 500-pound aviation bombs (227 kilograms). As long as one of the aircraft carriers on the deck is hit, they will lose the ability to take-off and land the aircraft, and the role of the aircraft carrier that loses the ability to take-off and land the aircraft will be greatly reduced. Moreover, the US Zeppelin aircraft carrier is the flagship of the entire aircraft carrier formation and the command center of the entire fleet.
"Boom...boom..."
The first Wellington bomber started to drop aviation bombs, and was immediately hit and exploded in the air. Fortunately, Li Mo prompted the Zeppelin aircraft carrier to be fully ruddered in time. All these aviation bombs were thrown into the sea, less than ten meters away from the side of the Zeppelin aircraft carrier, which was too thrilling.
The second plane rushed from another direction and was not so lucky. The plane had just flew over Zeppelin. Before she could open the pop-up window, her wings were broken and rolled down. As a result, a German destroyer was in trouble. Originally, it wanted to help Zeppelin aircraft carrier. The British bomber with broken wings hit the tail of the destroyer. Two tons of aircraft bombs were added with fuel, and then exploded with a "boom".
The entire destroyer immediately turned into a slag, and was then carried into the air by a violent explosion. A huge cloud of mushrooms mixed with thick smoke rose, and the entire destroyer had disappeared without a trace. Then a gust of steel like a storm was thrown from the air.
Li Mo had no time to grieve, so he could only pray that God would let these heroic soldiers go deep into heaven as soon as possible. Countless British bombers flocked in desperate situations, and the situation became increasingly dangerous. If British bombers were allowed to flock in like this, the losses of the entire aircraft carrier would definitely be so great that Li Mo could not bear it. In just three or four minutes, the aircraft carrier formation shot down no less than fifty British bombers, but the subsequent British bombers still flocked in, and the number of British bombers was too large.
"Report to the commander-in-chief, z15 was hit by two aviation bombs and is sinking and requesting to abandon the ship."
"Anyone is forbidden to abandon the ship. All those who abandon the ship for orders to abandon the ship shall be treated as deserters, regardless of officers and soldiers."
This is the most severe order issued by Li Mo. These aircraft carriers are the hope of the German Navy. They must not be sunk unless they have to. Li Mo is forced to do so!
"Order the q23 and q24 destroyers to lean up and tie them to both sides of the z15 so that the z15 has enough time to repair it."
Li Mo's eyes were also on fire at this time, and orders were issued one after another. The entire air battle situation was becoming more and more dangerous. It was almost as if it was burning. Li Mo bit his teeth and ordered loudly:
"Order all fighters to get rid of entanglement and go over the aircraft carrier formation to attack those British bombers who dare to break into the defense circle. All anti-aircraft gunners should pay attention. Aim at British bombers and try not to hurt our own aircraft by mistake."
Li Mo had no choice. Even if there was an accidental injury, he had to save the aircraft carrier first. If there were only aircraft but no aircraft carrier, these aircraft were also saved. Li Mo valued love and righteousness, but it did not mean indecision. At this time, there must be no hesitation at all. For the safety of the entire aircraft carrier formation, Li Mo could only take the minority of the two sides.
Soon countless German bf109s turned around and entered the airplane above the aircraft carrier formation, and British escort planes also arrived. Now the entire aircraft carrier formation was full of up and down planes, and underneath were countless anti-aircraft artillery firing fiercely into the air.
"Da da...Wu wu wu...Bo wu..." The whole sky was filled with thick smoke, and the entire sea surface was burning flames. Countless planes falling to the sea surface turned into burning flames on the sea surface. The fuel carried by the plane floated on the sea surface and ignited scorching flames. The sky and the sea surface became red against the backdrop of the flames. Half was flames, half was sea water, and it was hard to tell whether it was this earth or hell.
The German ships below were also hit by aviation bombs from time to time and caught fire. Now the entire sky was filled with bullets and death everywhere. Life was like an ant at this moment. British bombers wanted to rush into the defense circle to bomb, while all carrier-based aircraft wanted to desperately stop British aircraft from approaching their aircraft carrier formations. British escorts came to attack German carrier-based aircraft again, and the anti-aircraft artillery below fired desperately at the air.
It was completely in chaos. Everyone had only one belief: killing the other party, and they could survive. What honors and responsibilities were long gone at this time. Honors and promotions were only achieved after surviving, and only those who died were martyrs.
"Two torpedoes were found on the starboard side, and two torpedoes were found on the starboard side."
"Starring singular 37mm dual anti-aircraft gun immediately blocks and intercepts enemy torpedoes."
The Zeppelin aircraft carrier was fighting with enemy planes in the air. Suddenly, a British bomber that escaped the net rushed in against the sea and fired two torpedoes at the Zeppelin aircraft carrier. Of course, this torpedo was a heavy torpedo of one thousand kilograms. Even battleships could not withstand such heavy torpedoes, let alone a thin ship like an aircraft carrier.
Now Li Mo's cat-eared air defense turret was shot with great effect, because the air defense turret distributed on both sides of the ship had an outward tilt of fifteen degrees, and the air defense cannon also had a minus 30 degrees diagonal angle. There were 14 odd numbers, and these air defense cannons aimed at the torpedoes that were rushing in torpedoes. The speed of the torpedoes was not very fast, and it was 50 knots, and the speed was turtle speed compared to the aircraft. The dense fire net hit the torpedoes on the road ahead. Even if the machine gun shells had to deflect a little after entering the water, it was very rare.
After the bullet enters the water, it will deviate after moving forward in a certain distance in a straight line. This can be seen by shooting underwater in later generations. The torpedo is only about five meters away from the water surface. The 20mm machine cannon will basically not have much deviation when it enters the water for five meters. The deviation of the machine cannon shell increases with the increase of the depth of the water.
"Boom..."
Sure enough, these two torpedoes were blown up by the dense firepower net of the cannon, and two pillars of water soared into the sky rose into the air, and countless smoke from the sea water was sprayed out.
The battle continued, the strangling continued, the plane kept falling from the air, then fell to the sea and burned violently, and the warships were constantly hit, injured, and sunk for the time being.
Twenty minutes later, the British bombers had no chance. They could not rush in at all and were shot by cannons from all directions. Even British fighters were extremely sad. They not only had to deal with the attacks of the German BF109, but also had to guard against the anti-aircraft artillery below. After losing countless aircraft, British aircraft quickly withdrew from the attack and began to return. Their fuel was only enough for return and could not stay in the combat airspace, otherwise these British aircraft would not fly back to Norwegian airports.
"Report to the commander-in-chief that British planes began to retreat, whether to pursue."
