"Oh my God. Please remember the URL of this website:..." Just when Colonel Braham looked at Sir Kilima, Sir Kilima was also looking at Colonel Braham.
After not seeing what he wanted on his face, the Governor couldn't help but words of prayer popped out of his mouth.
Led by the H-301 torpedo attack aircraft piloted by Major Sandro, the first wave of attack aircraft finally arrived over the Singapore Port after a 41-minute flight. The 47 aircraft were divided into three clusters, separated by
About 1,000 meters away, it suddenly appeared in the eastern sky of Singapore Harbor.
When Major Bebat on the balcony saw the plane, the first attack group had already lowered to a height of 500 meters above the ground. They were passing through a residential area to the east of the port, and the sound of the engine from the plane also made more Singaporeans
The inhabitants and the British raised their heads towards the east.
"Major, I saw a big guy, that's my..."
"Captain, look, there are so many ships parked in the port, I can't even choose who I want to attack..."
"Major, why are the people below waving at us?"
From time to time, the screams of the pilots and correspondents in the fleet came from Sandru's earphones. This group of naval aviation soldiers did not look like they were here to fight at all, but like a car of primary school students on a parade.
He admired the scenery outside the car window, and kept bothering his teacher with questions.
Seeing the scale on the instrument panel, the plane had dropped to an altitude of 100 meters. Sandro had to interrupt the pilots' exclamation. After he gave the command to the correspondent in the back seat to prepare for bombing, he began to concentrate on it.
Using the joystick, he lowered his car by dozens of meters. Now, his plane had rushed into the port and was flying along the water towards a large warship anchored on the west side of the port.
"Attention, all aircraft, attention, all aircraft, I am No. 301, I am No. 301, please follow your respective squadron leaders, disperse the bombs, disperse the bombs, the 1st Squadron follows my direction, the 1st Squadron follows my direction."
The correspondent picked up the pickup, loudly issued Sandro's order to the fleet, and repeated it twice, fearing that some of his companions could not hear clearly. Due to excitement and nervousness, his hand gripped the pickup hard, and his voice was trembling.
While Sandro was maneuvering the plane towards his target, he used his peripheral vision to scan the windows on both sides. Since his flying height had reached 20 meters, he often passed by nearby warships during the flight.
It was level with the deck of the warship. He could clearly see the British sailors who were on duty on the deck, and could even see the expressions of some of them clearly.
The officers and soldiers on these British warships stopped what they were doing and looked at the gray planes flying past their eyes with great confusion. They didn't know why these beautiful big guys were flying like this.
Low, but when they saw the black-haired and dark-eyed pilot and correspondent sitting in the glass cabin, they seemed to suddenly understand something. After the first person who ran towards the gun emplacement, all the warships began to fall into chaos.
After a pot of porridge, the piercing sound of the alarm echoed throughout Singapore Harbor.
Standing on the balcony of the Governor's Palace, several British officers clearly saw that these planes were divided into three groups, close to the water, and rushed towards the Far East Fleet anchored at three anchorages in the port. On the first plane
When the plane was still a few hundred meters away from the main battleship of the Far East Fleet, it suddenly fell from the plane.
A long thing came down, created a white wave on the water, and then disappeared. And this plane was like a wild horse that had broken free of the reins, violently increasing its flight speed, and rapidly increasing its flight speed.
It was so high that it almost brushed against the battleship's mast and flew over the battleship.
Then, more than a dozen aircraft following closely behind this aircraft also repeated this action, but the targets they flew over were different, which generally covered the 2 battleships and 2 battleships that were parked together.
Heavy cruiser.
Just as the last plane passed through the heavy patrol below and flew high into the sky, a huge spray of water suddenly burst out from the port side of the battleship "Marlborough" parked on the southernmost side.
The body suddenly shook on the water, and then there was a sound like muffled thunder.
Immediately afterwards, such huge water splashes exploded three more times. At the same time, different splashes appeared on the side of the "Ajax" and the two heavy cruisers a few hundred meters away from the "Marlborough".
Huge amounts of water spray and muffled thunder echoed throughout the harbor, attracting many residents outside the port area to climb up to their houses and look into the harbor.
"My ship... God..." Captain Birmingham of the battleship "Marlborough" who was standing on the balcony to watch, after witnessing his ship being attacked by four torpedoes, although he was heartbroken
It was a fluke, but I have to admit that the "Marlborough" was finished. Now the battleship with a full load displacement of more than 30,000 tons is visible to the naked eye.
speed, it tipped to the left. According to Captain Birmingham's naval judgment, even if the "Marlborough" could be salvaged, it would basically be a pile of scrap metal. The huge weight of the hull would bend or crush it when it tipped.
The keel of the ship is broken, and a warship with a broken keel, even if it is repaired at a high cost, can only exist as an offshore defense ship and can no longer run on the ocean.
In addition to the "Marlborough" battleship being tipped, the "Ajax" is also tipping to the same side, and more than half of all the Far East Fleet ships parked in the harbor have suffered heavy blows, and some small ones have suffered heavy blows.
After the ship was hit by a torpedo, it was directly broken into pieces
Two, and most of those hit were the fleet's capital ships, from battleships to destroyers, opportunities were hit all over. The sunny and picturesque Singapore Harbor just a few minutes ago turned into thick smoke in an instant.
A battlefield where police reports are heard all around.
"Is this the insignificant Federation Navy you are talking about? Shouldn't we do something now? Or should we continue to watch the empire's ships sinking here?" Sir Guilima said with eyes that almost spit out fire.
Look at the several naval officers in front of you.
"It's too late to do anything now. There won't be only one wave of such air strikes..." Major Bebat used his experience of just participating in the First World War to tell the truth, but telling the truth is a kind of
He had a good habit of making people dislike him on many occasions. Several naval officers and colonial officials who had been very fond of his eloquent talk just now, after hearing his words, all showed disgusting looks towards him.
Seeing that the federal plane had turned away, the British naval officers standing on the balcony ran downstairs one after another, riding horses and cars, and hurried towards the port. Because the air attack was too sudden, these officers could not
Stay where they should be. Now that the air raid is over, they must quickly visit their subordinates, take stock of their losses, and stick to their posts.
Seeing everyone running towards the port, Major Bebat had no choice. With his experience of participating in the war for more than 3 years, he was very sure to draw a very normal conclusion, that is, the second wave or even the third wave.
Three waves of air strikes are coming soon. As a commander, if you ask
Approaching the air strike site is a very dangerous and irresponsible move. As a naval commander, what he should and can do now is to pray that his subordinates, the captains of the destroyers, can get
God's favor means that you will not suffer or suffer less torpedoes.
Since anti-submarine nets and mines have been set up outside the port, the entire channel has been blocked. Even if our new destroyers can raise the pressure of their boilers to working pressure in a short period of time, they can only move around a little in the port.
You can't run out of the entire circle. As for anti-aircraft fire, Bebat
When the Major thought about this problem, he couldn't help but feel sad and bitter. The entire Singapore Port had not considered air defense issues, and had never prepared equipment in these areas. In addition to the warships in the port, there were some small-caliber guns that could be recharged, so that British soldiers could
What weapons do we use for air defense?
Sometimes it is very distressing to be an understanding person. Major Bebat watched his superiors and colleagues riding tall horses and hurriedly felt that in the port, commanding the navy, army and local people, driving various
Small boats, rowing various types of boats, rushed into the harbor water, rescuing sailors who fell into the water, and trying to provide aid to ships that were on fire, capsized, and sunk.
The major wanted to tell them that this behavior was very dangerous and meaningless. It could not save anything except adding targets for the enemy's second wave of attacks. But the major did not say it. He knew that even if he did, it would be useless.
