Chapter 823 Air Strike, I'm the King! 5

In the southwest of Bermuda, 14 capital ships were staggered in two rows. Dozens of cruisers and destroyers arched between them, and thick smoke penetrated into the clear blue sky, dyeing a particularly dazzling black pattern.

In the past, everyone would feel that the smoke was too small, because it could not cover the sky, but now everyone is silently praying that the smoke column should not be found by the enemy's reconnaissance aircraft.

In the particularly tall bridge of the battlecruiser Central Hood, there was a hurried sound of footsteps. Without waiting for Jeliko to listen to the report of the staff, a shout brought everyone into shock: "General, we intercepted the enemy's telegram, it's clear!"

"What!" Jelico's fingers holding the cigar trembled slightly, and he could hardly believe his ears. Is it a telegram?

What do they want to do?

Not only him, but all the soldiers who stayed in the bridge of the USS Hood at this time were stunned. Since the radio, communication encryption has become the most important part of the army's work, but now it's good that the other party has simply used the clear code directly!

In the stunned middle of the crowd, Jelko strode over and even forgot his courtesy. He took the telegram from the officer. When he saw the characters on the telegram clearly, he suddenly felt as if his cheek had been slapped!

"Air strike, I'm the king!"

The simple five words are not so much full of publicity, pride and self-confidence as a letter of war given to him by General Lefei. He wants to tell himself clearly that everything is just a foil before its powerful air attack force!

Even a scattered fleet, known as the most powerful of the treaty! Even if he used all his means, he did his best!

will also be defeated by these five words!

Is this true? Jelko's teeth were about to be broken: "Did the alarm, they're coming."

"Left rudder 30 degrees, contact Joseph King, attack, we only have one chance."

When Jellico angrily pinched the telegram into a ball to give the order, there was a rumble of gunfire in the direction of the destroyers deployed on the periphery

"God, there are too many of them!"

On the mast of the British light cruiser Caroline, who served as a peripheral guard, Davis, who transferred from a merchant ship to a warship as a lookout, pinched the telescope and opened his mouth wide. Because from his point of view, the sky was already covered with black spots, just like the legendary dragon knight, making a buzzing sound, hanging black terrible bombs, suddenly flashing from the blue sky and white clouds.

I didn't think about it at all. The five British light cruisers led by the Caroline opened fire first, and then the outermost 11 destroyers also quickly erected rapid-fire guns.

The most ferocious is the three Atlanta-class light cruisers inserted from behind. This kind of strengthened air defense, and the anti-aircraft firepower is comparable to that of the Xinhua Yangtze River-class light cruisers. With nearly a hundred small-caliber quick-fire guns and machine guns, they blocked a fire net in front of the capital ships and the fleet.

The powerful air defense capability of the light cruiser finally gave a trace of comfort to the chaotic fleet. While the 14 capital ships accelerated and dispersed, they also used the equipped rapid-fire gun to fire in the air with the escort warships.

It should be said that after a series of massacres by Xinhua aircraft at the beginning of the war, the Compact did make great efforts in air defense, from large-scale anti-aircraft cruisers like the Atlanta-class, to single-bannon, double-bannon and even multi-bannon and machine guns temporarily deployed on battleships, old-fashioned cruisers and even destroyers. Air defense capabilities have not been the same for a long time.

In the era of no guidance and no air-to-air Doppler, air defense was much simpler than attack. A large pile of cannons fired more than thousands of small-caliber shells and bullets per minute were enough to form a strong metal barrier.

The rain of bullets like a rainstorm did startle Jin Wei and the dragon wings, but after a moment of tension, it aroused the dragon wings to win!

Air strike, I am the king.

This clear-coded telegram has now spread all over the world. If even such a little firepower network can't break through, I'm afraid that the dragon wings will immediately become the laughingstock of others and be nailed to the pillar of shame all their lives!

"Kids, are you ready?"

Jin Wei turned on the radio and sounded from each cockpit with a trace of jokes.

"Let them see clearly how we do business!"

"The first group, kill the three American light patrols!"

"Group 2, Normandy"

"Group 3, Pennsylvania."

"The rest, follow me, Hood!"

"Kill!"

While the oil rod was pushed to the end, a large amount of smoke suddenly appeared in the exhaust pipes on both sides of the nose. Even if the speaker was not turned on, the engine began to roar violently. In a trance, Jin Wei even found that his heartbeat had been synchronized with the fighter, and the night owl with 250 kilograms of armor-piercing bullets seemed to have become a dexterous. Like a seagull.

"Let me do it."

The first group that got the order was already impatient. One of them circled outside for a few laps. The night owl, who was waiting for the opportunity, saw that the three Atlanta-class light patrols in the United States began to change their formations and lean towards the flagship, and couldn't help but turn on the speaker.

"Ji Jie."

The terrible and terrible sound of the night owls appeared over the Atlantic for the first time. The ghosts and wolves howled and roared like demons that eroded bones and hearts. Waves invaded every Allied general after wave. Some timid people covered their ears, but more people widened their eyes and aimed their guns at the rushing dive. Bombers.

After experiencing too much, every sailor knows that this is a time when you are dead, either the enemy easily drops a bomb or kills the other party.

Countless fire tongues rose from the light patrol deck, and the captain probably also knew that it was regarded as the first appetizer by the dragon wing, so the bow began to deflect violently and try to "shake" the night owl dive bomber that could not carry out a big action maneuver in the dive with steering and speed.

"The bomb was dropped, but he dropped the bomb!"

Thundering and frightened screams sounded from the deck, and everyone saw a black spot flying out of the belly of the dive bomber and hitting the light patrol deck.

"Left rudder!"

The captain tried his best to knock down the steering wheel, and the eyes around him slowly changed from panic to excitement and joy. When the bomb exploded on the left side of the ship with a column of water rising into the sky, all the soldiers were excited.

dodged.

Is it true?

Just as everyone was glad that they were ready to show a look to the guy who pulled him up, a black spot suddenly rushed in the direction of the bow.

In the bridge, the officers' eyes seemed to be torn apart. They never thought that the enemy's second dive bombing opportunity would come so quickly! Besides, he didn't develop a sounder!" Idiot, who stipulates that the sound device should be developed before the attack? In the cockpit, the dragon wing curled its mouth and pressed the launch button fiercely.

250 kg armor-piercing bullets are gradually enlarged in the eyes of the deck sailors. Because the cruiser has just carried out a U-shaped maneuver, the hull has not even been completely flattened, so no one can do such a strong maneuver again, so he can only watch the bomb slide. Fall down.

First, there was a violent impact sound, the bomb penetrated 50mm thick horizontal armor, drilled down from the front of the main turret of the bow No. 1, and then a loud noise swept through the deck like waves.

Davis, standing on the mast of the Caroline, clearly saw clearly that the air defense light cruiser, with a full load displacement of nearly 11,000 tons, claimed to be the strongest of the United States and even the Allies. After being hit, it suddenly trembled, and then the bow exploded like a balloon that could no longer be accommodated, fragments, flames and even anchors. They were all torn apart in the explosion.

When the smoke dissipated, the whole bow seemed to have been cut off, leaving only the structure of the ** hull and the cabin that swallowed the flame.

It's too late to say, and it's too late.

From the appearance of the enemy plane, to the light patrol firing, to the heavy damage of the Atlanta-class light cruiser, it took less than a few minutes. When one fighter after another drew all kinds of wonderful arcs and used the lightly injured firepower to fly to the battleships behind him, Davis' eyes were dumbfounded. He I didn't expect that a plane with hundreds of kilograms of explosives could fly so flexibly. Even if it is the strongest plane in your country, it is impossible to wear a butterfly after hanging a bomb!

When he finally didn't want to think about this problem and followed the light patrol to the battleship and prepared for close protection, there was a terrible scream in his ear again.

"Spread up, get out of here, and let the light cruiser lean over."

"I need it."

"Boom, sir, be careful."

A night owl that was swooping was unfortunately hit by a bullet. The exploded bomb not only turned the fighter into a fireball, but also scattered debris sprinkled all over the Hood deck like a meteor shower. One of the largest wreckage crashed directly into the turret of the bow No. 1 was not for the turret of the Hood. It is designed to resist 381mm or even 406mm armor-piercing shells, and may lose a quarter of the firepower.

"Sir, they are all here. We must find a way to get out of here as soon as possible."

Jellico, who was pressed by the guards to avoid the "Meteor Shower", just stood up again and followed the staff officer's fingers to see that one night owl dive bomber after another broke through the outer light cruiser and destroyer and began to attack the capital ship group.

"That's mine."

Double Happiness Corrected Ye Xiao. Before entering the diving channel, he looked at the big monster with three quadruple 356mm naval guns below again!

Then, the speaker is turned on.

The roar came out.

The Normandy below has begun to turn the rudder violently.
