When the third group of the Third Formation of the Chinese Empire used ultra-low-altitude bombing in order to increase the hit rate, two of the planes were hit by John Bull anti-aircraft fire. Although neither plane exploded, the tail fins were hit.
Torn apart and losing balance, the two planes turned sideways and rushed toward the waters of the Southern Empire.
When Sun Houzi saw this, he shouted to the two pilots on the public channel: "Dayong of No. 020... Xiao Zhou of No. 022, it is dangerous! You must abandon the plane and escape!"
But Dayong and the two responded almost at the same time: "I'm sorry...Captain...I can't carry out your order! Because even if I am killed, I will never let a screw of the empire fall into the enemy's position. This is the principle."
, even if you encounter this situation, you will do this! Isn’t it...Captain?!"
Dayong and Xiao Zhou are the elites of the Imperial Air Force. Although they are both very young, they are proud soldiers who have been trained under Zhang Long for several years. For them, the D-type shore-based fighter-bomber is their life.
Not to mention that what they were flying at this time was the world's most advanced D-type aircraft. Even if it was a B-type aircraft, some of its technologies were projects that were being kept secret by the empire! How could they abandon the two aircraft at the enemy's position?
, but he abandoned the plane to escape?!
Dayong and the two piloted two planes, and finally crashed nearly 100 kilometers north of Singapore in the waters southwest of the Riau Islands. At this time, the two were forced to abandon the plane and escape. Fortunately, here
It happened to be the sea area where the second echelon of the South China Sea Fleet and the C2 aircraft carrier battle group were cruising. Dayong and the two were rescued by the aircraft carrier's lifeboat.
The crash of the two planes made Dayong and the two burst into tears. You must know that the D-type fighter has not been with them for a long time, but they have developed a deep affection for it! In addition, a D-type shore-based fighter-bomber
The cost was quite expensive at the time, basically equivalent to the price of a medium-sized frigate.
The main reason for this state of affairs is that it is difficult to manufacture aircraft alloy materials, which leads to the high cost of fighter aircraft.
Two shooters were rescued at the same time as Dayong and Xiao Zhou. They were the machine gunners on the two planes. While Dayong and the others were escaping, they also escaped from the escape cabin in the belly of the aircraft. However, due to the shooting cabin
The escape conditions were limited, and both of them suffered minor injuries to varying degrees. They received treatment on the Nan C1 aircraft carrier.
Shortly after Dayong and the others were successfully rescued, Sun Houzi and the others received the news. Although they felt deeply regretful that the two fighter planes crashed, the safe return of their comrades made everyone secretly relieved. No loss could compare to this.
Losing a comrade-in-arms makes people feel even more sad!
After Dayong and others left the bombing site, the angry Sun Houzi bomber wing immediately accelerated its bombing of enemy ships.
Sun Houzi's crazy behavior also brought rich rewards. The final result of the bombing team was: the enemy battleship Suffolk was first hit by a torpedo on the port side. However, the damage was not serious, and then it was hit by a torpedo.
Hit 7 torpedoes and then sank. (Suffolk later became the flagship of the Far East Fleet in August 1917)
The Berwick was directly hit by 6 torpedoes, and at the same time, more than 10 torpedoes exploded in the waters near it, causing serious damage to many parts of the hull and sinking.
The John Bull first-class armored cruiser Immortal was mysteriously hit by two near-misses at the bottom of the hull, causing a hole in the bottom and then completely sank. (Immortal was later built in January 1886 and sold for disintegration in 1907. Here it is
Borrowed from Bai Ding.)
The John Bull armored cruiser Kent was seriously damaged by multiple torpedoes and lost its navigation ability. (Kent later joined the Far East Fleet in 1915, the Channel Fleet in 1916, and the Far East Fleet again in July 1918, where Bai Ding borrowed it.
)
The Far East Fleet armored cruiser Hampshire was directly hit by a torpedo on the bow, and another torpedo exploded near the port side, close to the second chimney area. Due to the non-contact explosion, the hull was greatly damaged and submerged.
It sank after taking down 2 rudders and 2 boiler rooms....
The enemy destroyer USS Bedford was directly hit by 4 torpedoes and hit by 6 near-misses. The hull was severely damaged and lost its buoyancy. In order to prevent the ship from sinking, John Bull towed it to the shore.
Captured by the Empire.
The enemy frigate Sapphire II was hit by three torpedoes in the water well near the starboard side, causing a non-contact explosion and causing severe damage to the underwater part of the ship. It overturned and sank 70 minutes later.
This ship is an old warship of the Far East Fleet of the John Bull Empire. It once participated in the artillery battle at Dagu Port and made great achievements for the John Bull Empire.
Three torpedoes landed in the sea about 9 meters away from the starboard amidships of the enemy ship Minotaur, and exploded in deep water. However, no water damage was caused, but the ship's parts below the waterline were severely damaged. In 14 hours
The rear rolled over and sank......
Relatively speaking, Sun Houzi and his bombing wing are the safest. Because there are not many combatants on the enemy ships at this time, and the shore is far away, the firepower threat is not too great. However, there is still a lot of firepower, and it is North Korea.
The unit with Sun Houzi opened fire.
"shooting!"
Isn't this coming!? When he saw the machine guns roaring and threatening his comrades on the Gui Lao Eric Watchtower, Sun Houzi, who had been hovering over the war zone, immediately flew towards the Eric Watchtower.
He also loudly informed random firemen and comrades to open fire.
As Sun Houzi shouted in the internal communication system, the large-caliber heavy machine gun under the belly of the aircraft emitted a series of screams, "Click, click, click...". Because it was shooting from a high position, some bullets hit the watchtower.
On the top of the metal frame, "Ding Ding Dangzang ..." screamed, and also stirred a lot of Mars.
The 14.5mm large-caliber machine gun bullets are as powerful as small-caliber machine guns. There are a large number of bullets. After penetrating the simple watchtower cover, the remaining inertia hit the John Bull shooter again.
His hand, and the chest area below his left arm were all torn apart by the huge inertia. The machine gun on the sentry tower instantly misfired.
Eric stared in horror. The corporal who was still alive and kicking just now was torn into half a human body by a huge force in an instant, and was slammed into the wall with a huge force. His heart was full of fear.
! He simply couldn’t believe what kind of bullets there were in the world that could cause such serious consequences.
Eric's only thought at this time was to escape. There was nothing more frightening than the bloody unknown pressure! Unfortunately, his legs were shaking so badly that he couldn't take a step no matter what!
In his frightened sight, the plane with its metallic luster like a devil circled back again. This time, because there was no threat of firepower, the fighter plane almost flew past the observation window, and was under the belly of the plane.
A dark shooting hole was facing him. Eric wailed in his heart: "No!"
He wanted to say to the Imperial soldiers on the fighter plane: "Please show your respect! I am still young and have never done anything to harm the people of the Chinese Empire. I surrender!" Unfortunately, in his pupils, the black hole of the shot gradually became larger.
Kong, once again flashed dazzling sparks!
"Da da da..." The heavy machine gun of the fighter plane screamed again, and Eric could vaguely hear the impact of the machine gun's firing pin. Then he felt a chill in his chest, then a burning sensation, and finally
There was darkness in his sight, until his whole world sank into darkness!
He was shocked until he died. He was unwilling to say goodbye to this beautiful world! Several bullets hit his abdomen one after another, leaving a huge hole in his abdomen. The high temperature of the bullets actually caused
His injured area temporarily lost blood, and only after he fell did the dirty blood spurt out.
Under the action of the heavy machine guns of the fighter planes, the observation tower finally burst into flames until it finally collapsed.
Sun Houzi was not satisfied with such results. When he saw the John Bull warship and started shooting in the air, threatening the safety of his comrades, he turned the nose of the aircraft again and rushed towards the enemy ship. His goal was
An enemy battlecruiser opened fire on its comrades because of the anti-balloon cannon on the opponent's deck...
In order to allow the shooter to have a very comfortable shooting angle, Sun Houzi used aerobatic flying skills for the first time in this battle. This flying skill quite tests the pilot's micro-control skills, but at this time, the hand speed is as high as 20 movements or more.
As far as Sun Hou is concerned, he is still competent!
Under the control of Sun Houzi, the right wing of the fighter plane formed an angle of 30 degrees with the sea level, and the left wing pointed diagonally towards the sky, completely exposing the entire belly of the aircraft to the sky on the left wing. The fighter plane drew a graceful arc in the air, heading towards the enemy battle array.
The cruiser deck swooped away.
The Imperial shooter on the same plane was stunned for a moment at first when faced with the sudden tilt of his body, as well as the rather wide field of view and design angle, and then his whole body began to tremble violently with excitement. You must know that this kind of fighter operation method rarely occurs.
, the status of the fighter plane at this time can only be explained by the fact that it is at its peak!
How could the shooter warriors on the same plane not be excited? This was a moment to witness a miracle!
With pride and excitement, the shooter warrior quickly changed the ammunition chain with both hands, squinted one eye, and hid in the turret on the enemy's deck. The enemy shooter's head was included in the crosshair. At the same time, he
My heart was filled with anxiety as I waited for the arrival of the optimal shooting distance!
The Empire's new D-class 14.5 mm caliber airborne heavy machine gun is the Empire's most advanced and largest caliber heavy machine gun. Its best effective range is about 2,800 meters, and it is still effective within a range of 4,000, but it loses accuracy and is less lethal.
It is small, only within the range of 2800 meters, which is the best shooting distance.
The imperial shooter soldier who was on the same plane as Sun Houzi, in the excitement of a pilgrimage, pulled the trigger...it was actually a burst fire!
