Chapter 1491

The sinking of the battleship was so rapid that most of the French navy officers and soldiers were thrown into the sea before they even put on their life jackets. Most of them were unable to return to the shore. The huge vortex generated when the battleship sank caused 90% of the drowning crew to inhale. seabed. In the end, this battleship only survived more than 70 people!

”Okay, let's look for the next target!” After the attack, the bombers began to retreat, and Major Qom hadn't left yet. He still needed to guide other bombers to continue the attack. This time, he focused on a British battleship. !

In the previous match, the Marlborough, which was attacked by the earl’s fleet on fire, became the second victim. This warship was hit by a German battleship and caught fire before. Then, several scattered bombers attacked this unlucky ship. The battleship, put a fire on the back deck of the battleship, and now, even if the British destroyer next to it is constantly releasing smoke screens, but the pillar of fire rising to the sky still indicates the position of the battleship, it is like the start of the night A star is like a star, so it's hard not to pay attention to it...

As a result, a group of German bombers began to hover over the British battleship, waiting for the smoke to disperse, and then attack! This is the last wave of attack aircraft of the Bavarian Air Force in this attack. The British estimated that the total number of aircraft in this wave is about 120. Other planes were delayed because they flew the wrong route, or failed to arrive because of mechanical failure. Moreover, the number of attack aircraft in this wave of bombers is relatively small, with only 60 carrying bombs and torpedoes in total. Therefore, in the current wave, it is very good to be able to gather more than 20 aircraft!

”There are actually two warships!” When the smoke cleared, the Germans were surprised to find that there was actually an armored cruiser beside the Marlborough. If Earl Spey saw it, he could recognize it at a glance. , This is the only surviving armored cruiser Bacchus after the British launched the first wave of attacks. Perhaps because of better luck, this warship did not receive any damage in the previous engagement, and its two sister ships have already be destroyed. But now? The armored cruiser Bacchus, who insisted on covering the Marlborough, was also included in the attack list!

”Their air defense is indeed better than the French.” Major Qom's plane took a lap in the air, and then expressed his appreciation for the British formation.

The 8 destroyers formed a ring-shaped defensive array around the capital ship. The Marlborough was naturally in the center of the circle, while the Bacchus armored cruiser was located behind the capital ship. Its anti-aircraft artillery and machine gun could simultaneously cover Marl from the side and back. Boro. Between the entire formation, the arrangement distance of the British fleet is very reasonable, and the outer destroyers are just stuck at the best distance for the torpedo attack—that is, the destroyer is about 800 meters away from the Marlborough, if If the torpedo is going to attack, I am afraid it will directly hit the destroyer's air defense artillery!

If you take the attack method just now, fighters attack the destroyer, interfere with the air defense firepower, and then the dive bomber launches the first round of attacks to suppress the battleship air defense, then it is okay, but because the opponent's defense is tight, the loss may be relatively large. So Major Qom hesitated. However, after a few minutes, when there was a burst of intensive artillery roaring in the distance, the Luftwaffe finally didn't have to be confused anymore! Because Earl Spey has led the team to kill him!

The destroyers left by the British can only bring some trouble to the Earl, temporarily delaying the pace of the pursuit. Although the situation of the Earl's fleet is not good, after all, it has 6 battleships, and the dense secondary artillery can easily kill the opponent. , And now they can see the tail of the British fleet! The remaining battleship Marlborough and the armored cruiser Bacchus.

”Well, all our troubles have been solved. I think that without us, this battleship can hardly run.” The companion sitting in the back seat said to Major Qom.
