Imperial Overlord
: Three hundred and ninety-one Phillips' counterattack
A white track began to extend from where the torpedoes were like water, and rushed towards an unarmed British giant transport ship not far away. Pen, Fun, Court www. biquge. info
This transport ship has a tonnage of at least 7,000 tons, and the full load of cargo on it is piled up like a mountain, and the waterline is already very deep.
What is even more pitiful is that the speed of this transport ship is only less than 6 knots. Seeing the water-like torpedo approaching, it can't even make evasive actions.
On the side of the ship, the sailor who watched the torpedo approach ran to the other side of the ship in fright.
Then, when the white torpedo track touched the side of the grain-laden ship, a huge explosion scrambled the water and tore the transport in two.
Because it was fully loaded with provisions, the ship had little extra buoyancy left. So just after the explosion, the transport ship broke and sank, and the speed was amazing.
The sailors on the deck were thrown into the air by the explosion, and at the same time, the flour stacked on the deck was also blown away...
What's more unfortunate is that another transport ship behind this transport ship is unavoidable at this time, although the speed is very slow, but the distance is too close, so the bow of the ship suddenly hit this ship and started to descend. The stern of a sunken transport ship.
The sound of the collision, accompanied by the twisting sound of steel, caused the sailors on the surrounding transport ships to narrow their eyes involuntarily.
The bow of the transport ship behind slammed into the stern of the sinking transport ship, and there should have been no danger of sinking.
Unfortunately, the ship was also full of food, so the cracks caused by the collision poured into the sea, which suddenly made the sailors on the transport panic.
Just when they wanted to plug the gap, another transport ship behind the transport ship rushed over - the three ships collided, and the unlucky ship in the middle completely lost the need for rescuing.
Water entered at both ends, and although the second transport ship was not sinking fast, it could still be seen with the naked eye that it had begun to tilt.
Fortunately, the other transports avoided the three colliding ships, ending the loss.
So, in less than two minutes, a huge freighter disappeared on the sea. The other freighter, although still floating on the water, could only watch it sink.
A single torpedo sank two transport ships at once, and the morale of the German carrier aircraft was boosted. One after another dived into its attack channel and began dropping torpedoes at the target of its choice.
Soon, two huge explosions sounded, and the soaring water column was accompanied by the picture of the British transport ship breaking, making the air raid tragic.
Above the sky, the British Navy's carrier-based aircraft have been slaughtered by four FW-190T fighter jets that have launched an attack.
Those poor Swordfish attack planes, facing the advanced German fighters, had no ability to struggle at all, and were easily shot down.
There is an obvious generation difference between the weapons, and the planes of the two sides are not at the same level in terms of speed and other performance, so there is no luck.
The remaining two Swordfish attack planes fled, while the four FW-190T fighter jets hovered in the sky like eagles patrolling their own airspace. The king was as lonely and lonely.
In fact, in the higher sky, two FW-190T fighter jets that had not abandoned their drop tanks were circling. They were a reserve force for other enemy aircraft that might appear.
In the cockpits of these two FW-190Ts higher in the sky, the view of the enemy fleet under attack by Stuka is even better.
Looking at the sea beneath their feet, the huge explosion and the convoy of transport ships began to mess up, and the two fighter pilots were chatting on their own channels.
"I really can't imagine that our Stuka is so aggressive." The circling wingman pilot said to his lead pilot.
The pilot of the lead plane nodded and said with emotion: "Yeah! Watching them attack, I want to give it a try."
"Don't tell me, if we had dozens of such planes, most of these British transport ships would have been sunk here today." Own lead turns.
"When we return, do it again... I guess they will also hurt..." The lead pilot said in agreement.
The two chatted in the sky. In the German fleet in the distance, on the bridge of the aircraft carrier Zeppelin, Hines was still waiting anxiously.
On the radio, he could hear the joyful shouts of the pilots, the excited coordination of the attack, and the laughter of the fighter pilots celebrating their victory.
On the radio, pilots could be heard cheering for their torpedoes hitting their targets, but not the panicked sound of their planes being shot down.
"It seems that our attack was effective." Looking up and seeing Lütjens looking at him, Hines smiled awkwardly and said to his boss.
Lütjens also didn't know whether to congratulate the naval aviation for finally replacing the battleships, or to cry over the future of his battleships and battlecruisers.
After a long while, he changed a look that he thought was appropriate and asked, "How are the preparations for the second attack?"
"As long as the enemy's carrier aircraft does not exceed this time, then our second attack will not have too many obstacles." Hines said confidently.
What he worried about earlier was that the opponent's anti-aircraft firepower would cause a lot of damage to German carrier-based aircraft.
Now it seems that the opponent's air defense is simply nothing, so he is more courageous.
Another better news is that another Stuka C in the hangar has been repaired, and in the next wave of attacks, there will be one more plane he can dispatch!
For the British Navy, this time it has become a pot of porridge. The outer **** fleet found that because the temporary formation was too chaotic and dense, they could not enter the core of the fleet at all.
The destroyers that can only cruise around the periphery, let alone stop the German aircraft from attacking at this time, most of the warships have not even found a chance to fire.
On the contrary, the explosion in the fleet was really shocking. British transport ships sunk one after another.
Ships loaded with cargo, ships with a speed almost equal to zero, ships that cannot change course... Basically, it can be said that the best target of naval aviation.
When the last Stuka C was pulled up, the British Navy's carrier-based aircraft force appeared belatedly at the other end of the huge fleet.
The German carrier-based aircraft force, who had no reason to engage in combat, quickly disengaged from the battle 20 minutes after the attack, and returned to prepare for the next attack.
What was left to the British fleet was a sinking mess of 22 ships, as well as dozens of destroyers and light cruisers cruising around in shock.
Almost one-tenth of the transport ships were sunk here. Compared with the damage caused by submarines, the power of carrier-based aircraft is even more powerful.
A double-winged Swordfish attack aircraft flew over the heavily damaged fleet at a low altitude, looking at the transport ship that was on fire and exploding, the crew on the plane couldn't say a word.
They had already arrived at the fastest speed regardless of the danger of being shot down. But the Germans still sank so many ships and then flew away right under their noses.
Farther on the sea, on the bridge of the battleship HMS King George V, General Tom S.V. Phillips, who succeeded Charles, was shocked by the battle damage report and could not say a word.
After a long while, he recovered from the shock, looked at the officers beside him, and commanded: "Take off as many carrier-based aircraft as possible, let the fleet lean over, and block the direction of the enemy's attack!"
At this moment, all he can do is to share the enemy's firepower as much as possible for the transport fleet.
Tom S.V. Phillips, who gave this order, was praying at this time. It was the German navy who was young and arrogant and targeted the attack on his own fleet.
In this way, the opponent's torpedo attack aircraft faced the British battleship fleet with fast speed, flexibility and stronger self-defense firepower.
Sadly, it was just his prayer. As for the Germans being fooled, only God knows.
Then the British Home Fleet, under the order of Tom S.V. Phillips, began to swerve, and then accelerated towards the possible direction of the German fleet.
Even ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ was temporarily deployed, and there were 10 destroyers and light cruisers of the **** fleet. A British fleet three times the size of the German fleet is gradually crossing between the German fleet and the British transport fleet.
"Send swordfish attack aircraft to scout suspicious sea areas, let some destroyers and light cruisers disperse, and determine the location of each other!" Tom S?V? opponent.
He could not always be beaten passively, and he could not pin his hopes of covering the convoy on the illusion that the enemy was wrong.
So, Phillips planned to find the opponent's fleet, and then rushed over to force the opponent away. Offense is the best defense, and British admirals in the spirit of Nelson believe this.
"As long as the position of the opponent's fleet is determined, we will start the attack! There is no way to win the defense, we have to find an opportunity to fight for our victory!" Tom S? V? Phillips clenched his fists and gave his men They cheered.
Because outside the porthole, they had already seen the black smoke rising and the flames burning into the sky, the transport fleet that had just been attacked and was still exploding and sinking...
