Chapter 646: The Fall of the French Navy (Plus 3)
"Boom!" The 381mm naval gun on the Warrior opened fire again! This time, with a fierce whistling and a huge armor-piercing projectile, it flew towards the French flagship Dunkirk again!
Although their school-fired planes have been interfered with by each other's naval guns, under difficult circumstances, the guides recalculated various data and provided correct guidance to the warships behind.
This time, I finally saw the effect!
A 381mm armor-piercing projectile accurately hit the rear hull of the Dunkirk! The armor on the top was torn off, and he drilled in. Following that, a huge explosion sounded.
Its rear, of course, is the boiler room. The armor-piercing projectile hit the boiler. At this time, the boiler was in the process of boosting pressure. As a result, the blasted boiler turned into a more terrifying bomb, sending the entire surrounding power compartment, Blast in a mess.
Thick smoke came out from the rear. If it was a fortune in misfortune, there was no ammunition depot at the rear. If the ammunition depot was destroyed, then the warship would definitely not be saved.
Even so, the crew on the warship became restless, and the explosion instantly killed hundreds of sailors. The rest, desperately fighting the fire, couldn't let the proudest warship in France sink like this!
However, now it can't sink, at most it's just stranded, it's too shallow here.
The pilot of the Liore et Olivier LeO H-43 water reconnaissance plane, which took off from the Dunkirk, was furious when he received the news that his own warship had been hit in the engine room.
Not long ago, they were good friends with the British Navy, but now, the British Navy has taken the initiative to attack them, or sneak attack!
If it is pulled to the Mediterranean Sea, or even the Atlantic Ocean, the two sides will fight, and it is hard to say who will kill the deer, but now, it is simply closing the door and hitting the dog.
The warships of the French Navy are all in the port, they are in a moored state, the boilers have not been pressurized, and they do not even have the ability to sail. How can they fight against the British?
Anger spread in the minds of the French pilots. When watching their battleships were hit and burst into flames, this anger had reached its peak!
He lowered the control lever, the float of the seaplane was almost in contact with the sea, and he flew in the direction of the British fleet!
Brits, go to hell!
At this time, the eyes of both sides were focused on the naval gun fire, but no one found that the French fighter jet broke into the British fleet!
After the plane passed through the defensive circle of the outer destroyer, the pilot began to slowly pull up. In front of his eyes, the aircraft carrier that went straight to the deck became more and more obvious.
"Abel, prepare to use the machine gun!" The pilot said to his companions in the rear cabin. Although their plane was already a monoplane, the canopy was also open.
The front is responsible for driving, while the back is responsible for school shooting, reconnaissance, and camera operation. At the same time, there is a machine gun for self-defense!
At this time, Abel in the rear cabin was also filled with righteous indignation. He pushed his machine gun to the side, and the deck was rapidly appearing in front of him.
on the USS Eagle.
After the first batch of carrier-based aircraft was released, the second batch of carrier-based aircraft was also preparing for departure. They were all loaded with torpedoes, ready to attack French warships.
Now that the war has started, everyone is focused, and the idea of being friends a day ago has been thrown out of their minds. Now, they have only one task, to kill the opposing fleet!
A Swordfish attack aircraft, with a torpedo mounted under the belly, the pilot sat in the cockpit, aimed at the narrow deck runway, ready to take off, while on his side, several deck personnel were in command.
Suddenly, a deck officer noticed something was wrong. When he saw the plane flying over from behind, he thought it was going to land, but then he found out that the plane did not put down the landing gear, nor was it on the ground. The conditions for landing on the deck, the other party used a buoy!
It's not our own, it's the French carrier aircraft!
"Attention to air defense!" As soon as his voice fell, a dense number of bullets were fired on the other side's plane.
The machine gun bullets were roaring and shot towards the deck of the busy aircraft carrier Eagle. Countless people screamed and fell in a pool of blood.
Damn it! The pilot of the Swordfish attack plane was also very angry. He pushed the throttle lever, and the horsepower was fully turned on. He wanted to take off from the deck. If he did not take off, he would also be shot by the machine gun.
The Eagle aircraft carrier also has a lot of anti-aircraft guns. What are those anti-aircraft gunners doing? Didn't even find it!
Suddenly, he saw a black smoke coming out of the front of his nose, followed by the flames.
No, his plane was hit and the engine was hit!
How to do? Now if he brakes, he might still have a chance to jump off, but then the deck is in danger!
This burning plane may bring harm to innocent people, and the other end of the deck is still full of ammunition!
Can't stop!
He operated the plane and continued to fly forward. The fire spread rapidly, and soon, it surrounded his entire cockpit. He took a last look outside and flew to the edge of the deck!
He didn't fly, he fell from the end of the deck and fell into the sea.
It was a brutal battle.
It's a pity that the French navy died.
The British naval guns shot quite high. After Dunkirk was hit, other battleships were also hit one after another. Unfortunately, none of their artillery shells could hit the British Navy warships!
The loss of this fearless seaplane to the British was actually the only result of this battle!
Standing on the bridge, Lieutenant General Somerville was silent.
The British navy is not afraid of fighting, but such a fight makes him feel tired.
The other junior officers and soldiers can just fight, but as the commander of the fleet, he thinks more.
"Boom!" At this moment, a huge roar made Lieutenant General Somerville stunned for a moment. He turned his head and saw nearby, the Hundred-Eyed Giant aircraft carrier, below the waterline, was blasted open There was a big hole, and the other party's exclamation was also heard on the radio.
"No, there are submarines underwater! Where are our destroyers? Immediately anti-submarine, immediately anti-submarine!"
"Boom!" There was another huge explosion, and the battleship Warrior, which was roaring and firing, suddenly burst into thick smoke.
No, there are more than one submarine nearby! Moreover, the opponent's torpedoes are too powerful. They are not the kind equipped by the French Navy at all. Underwater, it is the submarine force of the German Navy!
