Chapter 2125 Bite One
(page 1/1)
What? You mean the destroyers of the German fleet? Thomas naturally also considered it. A few minutes ago, Thomas also calculated the size of the German destroyer fleet and the number of remaining usable torpedoes! According to previous intelligence, Thomas concluded that the number of German destroyers and torpedo boats would not exceed 30 at most, and according to General Gaunt's intelligence, his fleet urged at least 4 German torpedo boats, and he had at least killed them in the confrontation with the German fleet just now. More than 10 destroyers and torpedo boats were ordered, so that the number of destroyers remaining in the German fleet may not exceed 2 digits! And some of the remaining warships may not have torpedoes! With this little force, Thomas naturally wouldn't worry!
The Strait of Dover is not too big, and it has not been too long since the German fleet left, so it is not difficult for the two British dreadnoughts to find each other. The speed is currently only about 15 knots, while the speed of the two British battleships chasing is as high as 20 knots! If it was daytime, the earl's life might only be counted in minutes, but now it is night, the Germans still have a chance to play hide-and-seek with the British fleet!
"Damn it, I've never longed for light like I do now." Rear Admiral Hiss, who commanded two former dreadnought battleships, cursed involuntarily while looking at the dark sea. He knew that the German fleet was nearby, but he didn't know where it was. In fact, the destroyers of the Thomas fleet were not enough. Even though not many were sunk, the loss of searchlights and flares made these night pioneers The effect has been greatly reduced, so now Major General Heath can only count on the FB27 bomber in the air to provide lighting, but unfortunately, this time, the FB27 bomber of the British Air Force let him down. Because, the German night sky killer has arrived.
"To be honest, I have participated in more than 500 air battles, but this is definitely the first time to hunt and kill bombers at night!" Goering communicated with the telegraph operator and rear seat machine gunner while operating the K4S night combat aircraft. with.
How to fight night air battles in this era? To be honest, most of the time it's just a feeling.... What the telegraph operator in the back seat and the tower on the ground can do is to let the driver know his position through radio guidance. As for how to find an opponent in the night sky? One way is naturally to add eyes with searchlights, and the other way is to touch it by feeling. Fortunately, the situation tonight is a bit special. The British FB27 bombers need to provide lighting and detection for the British fleet, so they will expose their positions by themselves. As for how to distinguish them from German aircraft? Very simple, the German bombers were equipped with anti-collision lights for identification, but the British aircraft did not! And it's clear when you look at the body shape after getting close, the bomber is several laps smaller!
Goering is indeed a veteran pilot who has fought more than 500 games. He is smarter than his colleagues. Goering instructed the telegraph operator in the back seat to adjust the frequency of the receiver to the communication frequency band of the British army. Because of encryption, Goering naturally It is impossible to know the communication news of the British army, but through radio positioning and frequency band identification, he can find the position of the British fleet, and the FB27 bomber that provides lighting for the fleet in the air is definitely not far from the fleet!
"I see them! These British crows are circling their fleet!" A few minutes later, Goering suddenly said to the radio operator in the back seat. "Send the enemy's position to the headquarters! These British planes are circling clockwise over the fleet, apparently illuminating the battleships below!"
At this time, at a height of 150 meters from the sea, four FB27 bombers were accompanying two dreadnoughts to search for German battleships. Compared with Thomas, who dared to fight and rush, Rear Admiral Heath, who commanded the two dreadnoughts of the Giant and Hercules, was much more conservative.
He was afraid that the German fleet would attack in the dark, and he was even more worried about lightning strikes from submarines or destroyers. Therefore, the two capital ships were under blackout control, and the surrounding destroyers also tried to control the lights. In this case, Major General Hiss could only hope It is pinned on the FB27 bomber fleet in the air, so the FB27 bombers must gather together and hover continuously, using searchlights and flares to provide illumination for the British fleet below.
At this time, the FB27 bombers that turned on all the searchlights on the plane did not know that the eyes of the god of death in the night sky had locked them firmly, and they still flew step by step over the main fleet along a fixed route. Parts of the machine gun and protection were removed.
Although it was night, Goering managed to lock on the target when the light was sufficient. He dexterously manipulated the plane to dive down from the sky, and successfully drilled into a blind spot at the rear of an FB27 bomber!
"Turn on the lights!" After the rear radio operator turned on the searchlight on the side of the nose, a white beam of light fell straight on the bomber in the distance.
"Go to hell! Ugly crow!" Accompanied by Goering's roar, the large-caliber machine gun located on the top of the upper wing of the plane fired first, and a series of red tracer bullets fell on the unaware British plane like elves flying in the dark. On the bomber fuselage, with a few flashes, the FB27's vertical tail was knocked off in half! Then, after confirming the ballistic trajectory, Goering suddenly pressed the button of the machine gun to fire, and the three 20MM machine guns let out a frightening roar, and a ball of flame burst out from the front of the K4S night combat aircraft. In less than 10 seconds, more than 3 digits of high-explosive bombs and incendiary bombs poured out and disintegrated the previous target in the air!
"Very good! Let's get rid of the others!" Goering gently pulled up the plane, regained the altitude advantage and once again pounced on the other British bombers. At the same time, other German night combat aircraft hidden in the night also rushed towards the unsuspecting British bomber fleet, and in less than ten minutes, the British air support was completely finished!
"Damn it." Heath looked at the British bombers above his head being destroyed by the Luftwaffe night combat planes, and there was nothing he could do about it. After seeking support from the air force, the latter flatly rejected the British fleet's request for reinforcements. Heath said that tonight all of the night-lighting improvements had been spent, either destroyed or being refueled. Cannot be dispatched in a short time. At this time, Heath felt like a heavily armored warrior, moving in fear in the dark night, afraid that an assassin would come out of nowhere and stab a fatal knife!
