Chapter 824 Air Strike, I am the king! 6

"Quick, baby, fly, fly!"

"Damn it, get out of the way!"

80 nautical miles northeast of Bermuda, on the deck of the Royal Ark, a double-winged rhododendron torpedo plane was about to rise in the air. Unexpectedly, it was blown to the right by a strong sidewind and crashed into another plane parked next to it.

The flying propeller chopped the two planes almost at the same time, and the wings were broken. Fortunately, the torpedo mount was still strong and did not let the torpedo fall, otherwise it would have become a disaster.

"Damn it, push them away, push them away!"

Watching the Invincible next to him and three modified American aircraft carriers walk side by side, releasing camels, cuckoos and Curtis torpedo planes into the sky, the captain of Colonel Simpson's mouth was about to crook.

The sailors risked their lives to push the two damaged torpedo planes into the sea, and even the torpedoes were not untied but pushed them down together. When the deck was smooth again, the rhododendron torpedo planes with 450 kilograms behind them began to rush out of the deck runway and towards the enemy aircraft carrier 160 kilometers away. The battle group flew away.

"Coloe." Seeing that the planes had taken off, the staff officer was also relieved and quickly handed over the order he received: "General Joseph King asked us to follow up, because there are too many planes there, and we need to be ready to pick up and recycle at any time."

"Damn it!" Simpson scolded secretly. Although his Royal Ark and Invincible were converted from the previous large light cruisers, if they rushed too close, I'm afraid it would be very dangerous for a light cruiser to come. Didn't it kill me to let myself run to the front?

"Coloe, what about us?"

"Keep up." Simpson originally wanted to refuse this order, but it could be seen that the mother ships around him began to accelerate to chase the heavy patrols that had run far away, and they had to rush up. When the wind on the deck was slightly stronger, a bad news suddenly shrouded everyone in the haze.

More than 200 aircraft are attacking General Jelko's main battleship formation.

200!

Coloe Simpson was shivering. He couldn't imagine what kind of last scene Lieutenant General Jelicop was encountering

..“ On the left, big head, there are two camels on your left, kill them!"

"Fuck grandma, where did these camels come from?"

"It's not far from Bermuda. It must be from the island. Block these guys. Captain, they are going to dive." The escort Hornet formation circled around. When the camel F1 fighter came to support was blocked, Shuangxi had already entered the dive channel.

Angle meter, in good condition.

Turn on the speed bumper.

The action bucket is normal, and the wings are ready to open.

Auxiliary pull-in, open.

After quickly passing through all the preparations before diving in his mind and scanning with his eyes a few times, Shuangxi suddenly gritted his teeth and pushed down the pole. When he only saw Ye Xiao, he seemed to have become a famous roller coaster in later generations. After rising to the highest point, he suddenly rushed down, pressing his whole back on the back of the chair. .

Both eyes seemed to be a little congested, but he still stared at the Normandy-class battleship, which had been studied countless times, known as France's new.

The Normandy class was built before the war and planned to build five ships. Before Germany invaded Paris, the fifth ship had completed 30% of the construction work, and the first one was almost completed. Unfortunately, after the occupation of Paris, France suddenly lost 70% of its heavy industry. , which makes manufacturing difficult.

Originally, the French political axe was ready to give up. After all, for France at this time, the navy was already a mirror, and it was the right way to concentrate all its strength on the army.

At that time, Xinhua had begun to show an aggressive posture in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. Britain's naval strength was pulled away a lot because of the need to defend Australia and the Indian Ocean. Coupled with the pressure of the German navy, it also happened to want to add a few new warships.

When the British Admiralty learned the news of Normandy, it was not very interested at first, because the British Empire had never picked second-hand goods, but no one expected that as soon as Xinhua went to war, Britain lost a number of main war patrols in Australia. In addition, the U.S. Pacific Fleet was disabled, which made Britain eager to find alternatives. So he immediately got all the drawings from the French on the condition of assistance, and encircled the five battleships into the arms of the Royal Navy in the name of helping to build.

However, it is not easy to rebuild these five battleships, because France used the ingenious design of three quadruple 340mm guns when it was built, which made Britain almost want to give up. In addition, Britain did not have a 340mm gun, so the whole agreement was actually only one France. Fortunately, the final study found that the French 340mm was not much different from the British own 343mm, so the British gritted their teeth and built a batch of 343mm naval guns, which also delayed the 15-inch main gun of the prestige-class battle patrol.

As for the quadruple installation that has never been involved, it was even more troublesome. In the end, the British designer simply gave up his own redevelopment of the new multi-link design scheme, directly adopted the French design, combined the two double ship guns, separated them with a 50mm armor plate in the middle, and let them use a well to solve the gun. The seat is small and the caliber is different.

It should be said that this is not a battleship that satisfies the British navy, and there is no way for France to build it as the strongest battleship in the Republic, and even if there is no aircraft carrier, the Normandy class is already a little useless.

Compared with the battleships of the same era, whether it is the latest British Avengers, Queen Elizabeth, the United States Pennsylvania and New Mexico, Germany's Bavarian class, or the Xinhua Navy's Guam class, they have all used 15 or even 16-inch main guns, even the heavy cruisers of various countries. ) They have also raised the main guns to this level. Although there are 12 343mm main guns in Normandy, they may not be better than those in the door.

Of course, the single-minded double happiness originally chose the Hood, but after being severely punished by his comrades-in-arms, he finally understood that it was the captain's ban. Finally, he thought about it and chose the Normandy level.

In fact, he is usually careless, but in fact, he knows better than anyone that the Pennsylvania class is better than the Normandy class, but the United States has suffered a lot of the loss of dragon wings, so the air defense has done its best. On the contrary, the air defense ability of the Normandy-class battleship is not strong, so the persimmon looks for a soft pinch, stand It's not fast!

The Normandy in front of me began to get bigger and bigger. The three turrets were scattered in the front, middle and back parts of the warship. In the middle of the two turrets in the front and middle were the low bridge conning towers, and there were three large chimneys between the middle and back. There was no trace of a trace of the whole deck, which was completely flat. Straight, it's hard to believe that this was designed by France, which was known as the most romantic country before the war.

Since it is already ugly, let's just break it again!

Shuangxi grinned the corners of his mouth with difficulty. When the height meter on the left hand had quickly turned red, his fingers suddenly pulled the trigger, and then used all his strength to hold the vertical rod in both hands and pull it back.

To be honest, the moment the bomb broke away from the hanger, Shuangxi even felt a feeling of crazy shooting. With the night owl getting rid of the bondage, the 250 kilograms of armor-piercing bullet had fallen to the position of the bridge behind Normandy, and the small clockwork in the center of the ammunition tail rotated rapidly, scaring the deck. The British and French sailors were scattered.

The armor-piercing shell hit the middle of the rear bridge and the chimney.

Today, after the armor of warships in various countries is getting thicker and thicker and the displacement is a record, the power of 250 kg armor-piercing shell is actually insufficient. If you don't count the amount of loading, the armor-piercing ability and destructive power are even as good as the special 305mm heavy armor-piercing bullets. The overnight xiao project was indeed too busy at the beginning. As a result, many problems with the engine have not been solved, and it is not cost-effective to change the load with the range, which limits the long-range combat capability of the aircraft carrier in disguise, so the navy has begun to start to install a larger horsepower engine and equip it with 500 or even 800 kg of armor-piercing shells.

The French design once again shows his fragile surname. Only the 60mm horizontal deck can't stop the armor-piercing shells falling from the sky at all, so a few seconds later, a huge fireball floated under the rear bridge deck, which not only blew up half of the rear bridge, but also deployed four 47mm rapid-fire guns nearby. It flew directly with two double machine guns.

Normandy is only equipped with 8 rapid-fire guns and 6 double-link machine guns. Other secondary guns cannot effectively deal with dive bombers from overhead due to angle problems, so this bomb is equivalent to destroying nearly half of Normandy's anti-aircraft fire.

Shuangxi shook the wings a few times regretfully. Although the bomb destroyed the anti-aircraft fire, it still failed to hit the most important ammunition depot or boiler power and other cabins, so the Normandy could maneuver on the sea at a speed of more than 25 knots.

Fortunately, his regret did not last long. His wingman threw the bomb into the chimney with an accurate dive. The armor-piercing bullet followed the chimney into the boiler compartment below. A flame with a large amount of water vapor announced that Normandy's death had arrived.

"It's Normandy, and Normandy was the first to be shot."

The Hood bridge, which passed through the water column forest with 26 knots, also saw this scene. The white steam visible to the naked eye made Jellico understand that Normandy was doomed, and under the overwhelming bombers, there was an equal sign between deceleration and death.

"Look, it's the Alaska."

The staff officer shivered his fingers, and two flames rose almost at the same time on the deck of the American Pennsylvania-class ship Alaska in the distance. Even if the fire covered the whole stern, the sailors began to jump into the sea to escape.

"God, he is flying towards us!"

"Cannonballs, I need cannonballs."

"Machine gun, I need you to point all the fire at the top of your head!"

In just a few minutes, two capital ships and two light patrols were sunk, so that Jelico finally understood why the Xinhua Navy was able to achieve such impressive results in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Unfortunately, there was no regret at this time.

Hood is worthy of being the strongest battlecruiser in Europe. Its combat ability is even comparable to that of many battleships. After strengthening horizontal armor and overall protection, its air defense capabilities have also been greatly improved. It is not only equipped with 16 47mm rapid-fire guns, but also equipped with up to 20 fixed Double anti-aircraft machine gun, in addition to welding a lot of machine gun scaffolds on the deck, so that as long as you bring a Lewis light machine gun, it can serve as a temporary anti-aircraft fire point.

With the rapid reaction of the captain and the desire of the sailors, he dodged the bombing three times in a row and let the forehead of Jin Wei, who looked at it above his head, burst into smoke.

He stuffed the reconnaissance photo of the Hood into his pocket, and Jin Wei gently pinched the peace charm that Xiao He hung for him with his hand.

The standard displacement is 41,300 tons and the full load is 47,000 tons. If it is not too large, the amount of power has led to a significant reduction in the amount of armor. It is almost comparable to the Guam class, and this big guy is also the first capital ship in Europe with a tall bridge design similar to that of the Imperial Navy.

But now it has met itself!

"Follow me." In Jin Wei's shouting, the wingman quickly approached.

At that moment, the dragon wings that dropped bombs and did not drop bombs on the battlefield almost all their eyes and flew side by side, just like a one-in-one aircraft. Even the movement trajectory was exactly the same, and everyone's heart beat faster.

After seeing the trajectory of the formation flight, everyone knew that the captain would use a new tactic that only the real trump card would dare to adopt this time.

Double dragons grab the ball!

To put it simply, two planes dive to one point at the same time.

It's simple but it's actually very difficult, because everyone knows that Yexiao's flight ability is not excellent, especially it is impossible to maneuver in the dive, so when the dragon wings use diving tactics, they often dive. A group of people look at the sky, just like a group of carppers standing on the edge of the ship. After seeing the fish, they need Wait for the master's order, and then go fishing one by one.

Single-machine dive bombing is not easy to cause mistakes and damage, but also because the single trajectory of the bomb is easy to be avoided by enemy ships, the dragon wings began to study the tactic of two or even three aircraft dive to one point at the same time.

Even among the dragon wings, only the top trump card dares to do this. You should know that the channel is different when the two planes dive. If there is a little mistake, not to mention that you will be hit by the enemy's gunfire, and even you may collide with each other.

So.

"Young men, do you remember our oath? We are dragon wings, and only we can rule the sea and the air!"

"Follow me, kill!"

With a long trill, Jin Wei suddenly deviated from the wing and turned a left corner at high altitude before the fuselage was stable, so he pricked down!

At the same time, the wingman also rushed down from its original position. The violent dive angle made the nose and the edge of the wing even appear a whirlpool of air visible to the naked eye. Even without the development of the sound, the indescrippling roar of death still filled the world.

No one has ever seen such a picture. Two bombers rushed at a evasion at an angle of 70 degrees, so that David's eyes widened on the Caroline mast, and his mouth could even stuff his fists!

The two night owls dived down along slightly staggered tracks and angles in a face-to-face posture. They seemed to be only crazy and shocked in the eyes of outsiders, but in the eyes of the dragon wings, they found two different cutting lines, even accurate to centimeters and milliseconds.

Jin Wei took the lead in dropping the bomb. While the 250 kilograms of armor-piercing shell fell to the starboard deck of the Hood in the screams of countless sailors, the wingman also completed the bomb, but the position of the bomb he dropped was on the starboard side of the ship.

At this time, even a flexible light cruiser is bound to be hit, because if you turn left, the stern of the ship must be thrown right and all exposed to the bombs, and although turning right can avoid the bombs on the stern, it will let the bomb on the port side penetrate into the center of the hull.

Looking at the dive almost at the same time and dropping bombs at the same time, he chose different angles to form a perfect angle, so that he had nowhere to escape. Jelicop's left hand holding the armrest kept trembling. He never thought that the plane could interpret the attack to such a wonderful or even crazy degree, even he I think that if the experienced sea captain can still escape this time, then the captain must be God.

Boom.

The captain was not God, and he had no choice at that moment. When the two bombs exploded one after another, Jin Wei and the wingman also rubbed the mast of the Hood and crossed the wings at a very low altitude.

This scene made the British sailors on the Hood tremble all over. They didn't know whether they were shocked or afraid. Looking up from their perspective, they could only see that at the moment when the two fireballs were about to entangled with each other, the two night owls passed face to face, and then the center separated their masts and finally trembled. It was submerged by the flames.

"Well done!"

"That's great!"

"We are dragon wings."

The communication channel has gone completely crazy. This perfect performance has undoubtedly greatly aroused the determination of the dragon wings, and bombs fell on other battleships like eyes.

In the cockpit, Jin Wei breathed hard, and a ball of blood stains on his left-handed thighs were constantly amplifying.

At the moment of rapid dive just now, several machine gun bullets still drilled through the protective steel plate on his thigh twice, but compared with this price, the blazing fire on the Hood was enough to make up for everything!

Jin Wei knew that he could not stay here any longer. Whether it was an injury or a fighter plane, he must go back to check it as soon as possible.

The harsh sharp whistling gradually faded away, and there was already smoke on the sea. The powerful warships that were just now were now covered with flames, but everyone knows that this will not kill them, because as long as the structure of the hull is not destroyed, these big guys will always float on the sea.

However.

Night owl is just a pioneer of opening the way.

"Captain, aren't we late?" When the first wave of night owls began to return, 72 Longya torpedoes/bombers finally appeared on the blue wave on the waves.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Jin Wei endured the pain, turned his head and looked at the Hood, who was still twisting his body, and said viciously, "Kill it, Hood!"
