Volume 10, Fighting for Domination Volume 9, In ??Running Out of Food
.
0 The bombers finally chose the right attack route and angle. They rushed to the fleet one by one. Immediately, the anti-aircraft guns on the warships and merchant ships opened fire. The background of the ash cloud was covered with brown smoke. Although the anti-aircraft gunfire was very dense, even an enemy plane could not be hit.
The "Vaginas" dived down and dropped 250 kilogram bombs at the cargo ship. The port side and stern of the "Dagama" rushed into tall water columns, shining brightly. The hull swayed violently, and the blocked thrust surged into the sea water.
The sea was fighting against the sky. After air strikes and self-defense were fought for a minute, no one forgot the time. The once weak sailor on the Dagama took off his thick canvas waterproof suit and kept firing at the air at the cannon position. The shiny copper shell jumped on the deck. A "condile" was hit and fell to the sea. Just as it was about to enter the water, the driver suddenly leveled it and crashed into a destroyer along the sea. After a loud bang, the entire tail of the destroyer was blown off, and the deep-water bomb that was knocked away kept ringing several hundred meters away from the ship.
The emergency transport fleet was well organized in an air defense fire. In advance, the ships conducted coordinated exercises and organized training along the way. The sailors were full of fighting spirit. One of the twelve "condiles" attacked was shot down and three were injured. It was estimated that it would be difficult for them to return to Berlin. A yellow parachute hung in the sky and was beaten into pieces by the revenge gunners. It took some time to rescue the fallen waterers, and the fleet continued to set off again.
After this disturbance, the fleet slowed down. In order to avoid the night of German planes, the fleet did not turn on the lights. With the radar guiding the direction, it did not drive far away that night. But it was all worth it. Giggs heard a rumbling sound in the sky at night. Giggs knew that this was not thunder, but an unprecedented bomber formation, and they tried to find their own fleet. But the dark night gave their fleet the greatest cover, and the bomber formation returned in vain.
As the sky turned clear, the sound of the plane's engine sounded again. This tone was higher than the engine of the "Vulture" aircraft. Captain Giggs identified that they were Junx ju-88 bombers. Ju-88 two engines, with a range of two thousand kilometers. Their appearance marked that the emergency transport fleet was approaching the North corner.
A parachute flare lit up in the dim sky, and the pale light illuminated the sea of Ristel. The fleet of NC17 was exposed naked on the background of the ocean. Germans hid in the clouds and peered at the flesh in their mouths.
The German bombers dived down suddenly, ignoring the blazing anti-aircraft artillery fire, rushed to the fleet and dropped bombs. Then, they passed the mast, pulled up again, and dropped bombs again.
The Junckers were at a higher level than the Condor. They were a group of professional bombers who were specially transferred from the Mediterranean front to deal with the Arctic escort. Despite repeated avoidance, the Dagama still got a bomb. It penetrated the kitchen and exploded in the sailor's rest compartment. The Dagama shook violently, and the sea seemed to be unable to bear its weight.
The "Dagama" was seriously damaged. The speed was getting slower and slower, and finally stopped on the sea of Restel and never moved again. The sailors on the ship were injured and killed. The fire spread and ran around and lost control. Li De stumbled with a large fire extinguisher, and he was frantically extinguishing the fire. It turned out that the decks of the cannon trucks and trucks were tied, sprinkled with tattered enamel basins and bowls and flat-flat cans.
A kg-26 torpedo aircraft of Schwardell rushed out of the clouds and rushed to the paralyzed Dagama in an attempt to take advantage of it. It flew so low and pushed so close that under the light of the flares, Giggs clearly remembered the pilot's childish face. An anti-aircraft shell on the Dagama land directly hit the cockpit of the kg-26 and removed the entire cockpit of the aircraft. The wing tips of the wings hit the ship's cab, and the entire aircraft carried the torpedo and rolled into the sea like a windmill. The torpedo exploded, blowing the plane into hundreds of metal pieces.
Half of the wing tips swept Li De's head, and he died immediately. The cockpit of the "Dagama" turned into a garbage dump, a ship bell, a compass, a steering wheel, and a ox horn microphone were scattered everywhere, and the floor and walls were splashed with blood from the beach.
Giggs lay on the floor at the last second, avoiding the wheel of death. He witnessed the messy objects and Li De's corpse and tried his best to remain calm. He got up, walked across the sticky floor, and stood on the swept bridge, as if he was a painful and majestic elf.
"Repair the host and pay attention to air defense. The German devils will not defeat us."
The mechanic in the engine compartment tried every effort to seal the breakout of the steam pipeline, replaced several bad valves, and barely made the machine run again. The captain and telegrapher Ristal put together, and actually connected the helm with a telephone, and started the "Dagama" again in the original manual method.
The attack came quickly and ended quickly. German bombers were knocked back. This is of course the British sailors said. From the German perspective, the fuel of Ju-88 was very limited and they dared not fight. Two more cargo ships were sunk and an escort ship was injured. When the "Cicero" asked about the situation of the "Dagama", Ristel replied with a newly repaired radio station; "My ship can continue to sail the east."
Giggs bandaged his injured arm and his forehead injured by wing fragments. Ristel burned a large thermos of coffee. After the coffee was eaten, the warm current circulated half of his body, and his numb mind began to work again. If he continued to sail at this speed, then in another ten hours, the fleet would pass through the Suez Canal safely. Due to the treaty regulations, the Chinese could not deploy bombers in the Central and Eastern Europe, so they would be safe.
Giggs knew that the Germans and Chinese were no longer caring about the Middle East. The powerful offensive launched by the allies made them anxious and had no time to support this rich land. Although the Chinese troops stationed in the Middle East are still resisting tenaciously, soon, the army without reinforcements and supplies will collapse, and then obediently hand over the Middle East. Only the British are worthy of this land!
The sky suddenly darkened. Maybe a dark cloud blocked the sun. Giggs didn't pay attention to this small change. He took out a cigarette beautifully. He was in a good mood today, so there should be no problem smoking one more. Giggsda took out a lighter. This was a personal gift from the Chinese boss. This exquisite lighter made all the captains envious.
Although it is a bit big, the appearance of this lighter is imitating the Royal's latest battleship main gun, which makes up for everything. Whenever Giggs picks up the lighter, they can see the envious eyes of people around them. Moving the gun barrel, a flame sprayed out from the main gun, lit the cigarette in Giggs's hand.
