Chapter 2133: Dawn 4
"Okay, it's time for the torpedo plane carrying the No. 5 torpedo to drop the bomb, let's pay attention." The previous pilot said. At this time, two JU5 torpedo planes approached the target again. In order to identify the torpedo planes carrying different torpedoes, the Germans painted the tail of the JU4 torpedo plane carrying the No. 4 torpedo with black tail paint, while the No. 5 torpedo plane used red. Tail painting. The two bombers skillfully lowered their altitude, locked on to the target, and then moved closer to launch lightning strikes!
This time, the two torpedo bombers chose to launch a lightning strike on the bow of the ship. One of the torpedoes passed the bow of the Neptune and missed the target, while the other torpedo just hit the ammunition depot under the No. 2 turret of the Neptune !
"Neptune is finished!" The No. 5 torpedo weighing 550KG had a torpedo charge of more than 120KG. The violent explosion directly shredded the underwater defense system outside the Neptune's ammunition depot. Because of the location, the mine protection system here The depth is much less than that in the middle, and the energy generated by the explosion instantly shredded the armored partition outside the ammunition depot, and directly detonated the artillery firing powder depot located at the bottom of the hull! Accompanied by a series of explosions, the front of the entire battleship seemed to be dragged out of the sea, and then, under the action of the battleship's own gravity, the front of the battleship began to break in two from the No. 2 turret as the dividing point!
The bow of the ship quickly sank to the bottom of the sea, and the second half did not hold on for too long. Under the action of forward inertia, thousands of tons of sea water poured into the broken hull. In just a few minutes, the entire battleship was lifted from the sea surface. Disappeared, many British sailors tried to jump into the sea to save themselves, and then the battleship sank too fast, and the huge vortex generated during the sinking involved all the British naval officers and soldiers who had not escaped far into the bottom of the sea!
"It seems that the task of our salvage team should be very simple. Ninety-nine percent of the British are dead. This guy is too inexperienced!" At this time, a German bomber who was too late to drop the bomb said a little disappointed .
"Relax, the British still have enough big guys for us to clean up. Today's dreadnoughts are nothing. Sooner or later, we will send the queens to the bottom of the sea!" said the colleague who flew the plane in front.
However, just when the personnel who had not yet participated in the bombing expressed their anger and dissatisfaction, the reconnaissance plane patrolling the periphery discovered a new target not far away! The British light cruiser Birmingham appeared in the sight of the Germans! And when the sea fog cleared, the Birmingham also spotted the JU5 reconnaissance plane flying in the air!
"Damn it, how come there are German single-engine planes here? When did their range go so far?" A British soldier pointed to the JU5 reconnaissance plane flying towards him in the distance.
"This is a brand new aircraft, we seem to have never seen it? The Germans' secret weapon?" Another officer said.
"Prepare to send a report to the headquarters, saying that we have discovered a strange single-engine aircraft appearing above us." Captain Russ, the captain of the Birmingham, considered for a full 5 minutes before making a decision! At this time, by receiving radio telegrams, he already knew that the German heavy bombers had destroyed a large number of warships including two dreadnoughts, and they were still hovering in the nearby waters. The appearance of a single-engine aircraft is indeed very strange! At least in terms of range, it is difficult to achieve, and the practical significance is even more difficult to understand. Could it be that the Germans have aircraft-carrying warships similar to the Royal Navy? ! A terrible idea emerged from Captain Ruth's mind. And if you send the report now, there is no doubt that your survival rate is really not high!
"The British seem to be sending a message!" At this time, the radio operator on the JU5 reconnaissance plane received a message on the frequency band of the British Navy.
"It seems that our secret may be exposed this time," said the pilot, Second Lieutenant Bobst. "Okay, you and North are ready to parachute, no matter what the content of the telegram sent by the British this time, I will not let him complete it." Second Lieutenant Bost said.
"Hey, brother, what are you doing?!" The two colleagues in the back seat said in surprise.
"It's very simple, knock off their antenna! And this kind of thing doesn't require three people to die together!" Second Lieutenant Bost said. Afterwards, after the two colleagues parachuted away, Second Lieutenant Bost drove the plane towards the light cruiser Birmingham not far away!
A barrage of machine-gun bullets and high-explosive shells flew past him, and now all he could see was the radio antenna on the British light cruiser and the telegraph below. From time to time, a few bullets would hit the plane, shaking the plane, but all of this was not important to him.
"I hope everything is still in time!" In the end, before the most important content of the British telegram was sent, the JU5 reconnaissance plane carrying more than 300 kilograms of fuel crashed into the Birmingham under the surprised and frightened eyes of the British. On the superstructure of the light cruiser!
"What a bunch of lunatics!" After hundreds of kilograms of high-energy gasoline was ignited, the superstructure of the entire light cruiser was almost in flames. Second Lieutenant Bost's technique was very good. This blow directly damaged the antenna and the radio below. The room and the spare transmitter were completely destroyed! And because of this successful collision, only half of the telegram from the British was sent out, and there was no mention of the single-engine plane that unexpectedly appeared here! In this way, the leakage of information was avoided, and in the end, this second lieutenant became the only lieutenant officer who won the Imperial Grand Iron Cross in World War I in Germany!
"Quickly put out the fire, and then we evacuate here!" Captain Ruth ordered loudly. He felt that he seemed to have discovered something extraordinary. The fact that the Germans attacked in such a fierce way meant that they definitely wanted to keep it a secret, but If you want to keep a secret, the easiest way to deal with it is to not keep alive! A chill went directly from the tailbone to his head, and he couldn't help shivering!
"Attack all British warships that appear in this sea area! No one will be left alive!" At this time, the German Navy also realized the seriousness of the problem. Although the Germans were not sure enough to make sure that the British knew about their aircraft carrier, they still For the past, killing everything is definitely the best way!
As a result, the remaining dozens of carrier-based attack aircraft and land-based bombers that had not found their targets before swarmed towards this poor light cruiser. And this light cruiser was seriously damaged by the superstructure, which directly affected the power compartment. 20 minutes after Ensign Bost hit the British ship, the British could already see a large number of aircraft flying towards them!
