Chapter 1110 Worry

"The UK seems to have known about our previous frequency bands, but has no idea about our new frequency bands, and their aircraft already has the endurance of an airship. This aircraft should have flew from the local area, and it has probably flown at least 300 kilometers." Schell said with some concern.

The trouble is just beginning. The interference of this v1500 is just that the German Navy started the backup frequency band communication as soon as possible. When this guy continued to fly for half an hour and appeared over the high seas fleet, the entire fleet felt extremely unhappy! No one could stand a plane swaying over his head and kept telling his opponents about his whereabouts.

"Send a seaplane to deal with it." Lieutenant General Sher frowned slightly and said, looking at the black shadow in the sky in the distance.

"Whatever you want, if anyone can kill this thing, I will upgrade him to 3 levels!" The prince said indifferently. It was not that the prince really regarded v1500 as nothing. But there was really no way. The performance of the j-1 fighter after installing a float was greatly reduced, and there was a twin-engine watercraft, but it may not be as high as v1500. What's more, even if you can catch up? It takes more luck to kill a big guy with a maximum take-off weight of nearly 14 tons with two machine guns in one plane, right?

Two Hurglan-class battleships located behind the fleet launched four J-1s seaplanes. As the captain, Homan guided his teammates to attack the behemoth. He controlled his speed and climbed slowly, and used the cover of clouds to gradually approach the big guy.

"This is simply a legendary dragon." When Homan's plane approached, he truly felt the oppression of this British plane. The airport of his K-1s plane was less than 7 meters, and the wings were spreading only more than 9 meters. The guy on the opposite side was more than twice his length and four times his width! It was impossible for Homan to be afraid of it. Looking at the machine guns on the plane like a dragon barb and the metal parts flashing with cold light, Homan felt a sense of tension and excitement coexisting!

Although this guy is very big, he is not slow to fly. Four 320 horsepower engines allow the aircraft to fly at a speed of about 170 kilometers per hour (the first time in history was a 275 horsepower engine with a maximum speed of 159 kilometers). This speed is not much different from the J-1s type seaplane after the buoy is installed. The two aircraft trying to attack from the rear end eventually missed the target.

Another aircraft that attempted to attack head-on hit the V1500's nose machine gun turret head-on, and the four flames sprayed from 7.7mm machine guns directly knocked the plane to pieces. Captain Homan successfully launched an attack using the cover of clouds and the dive of the aircraft.

Captain Homan entered from the front of the opponent, and the nose of the machine was slightly pressed down. A 12.7mm machine gun and a 7.92mm machine gun poured hundreds of bullets on the huge fuselage of the v1500 in less than half a minute. Bullets like locusts fell on the behemoth one after another, tearing the skin on the top to open a few holes. However, this was useless. Under the attack of the two machine guns of the top machine gun tower, Captain Homan could only immediately pull up and dodge the opponent's attack. However, it was probably not so easy to attack again after dodging, and the opponent decided to escape.

"The British should have known about our situation, right?" Schell said with some concern.

"Let the light cruiser squads on both sides expand the alert area, and then make Hippel faster, and we will expand the alert area a little." The prince said.

At this time, Hippel, who was in front, also encountered trouble and managed the first air strike in history! A V1500 bomber flew over Hippel's fleet from a height of 2500 meters and symbolically threw 5 250-pound bombs at the fleet! Although the battlecruiser detachment with an attack speed of about 24 knots at this altitude had almost no hit rate, there was an exception in everything. One of the bombs landed less than 50 meters next to Hippel's flagship Seedlitz! The huge water column that exploded made people feel like a large caliber shell fell! Looking at the water column that exploded several dozen meters high, Hippel's face was hard to see his home.

To be honest, the loading volume of such a bomb is generally above 60kg. This thing is not good for battleships, but if you shoot a light cruiser, it is not a joke. Looking up at the huge body of the British plane, Hippel believes it if you can hold 500kg or even larger bombs! As the saying goes, you are not afraid of 10,000, but only if you shoot a 500kg bomb on your ship, the situation will be really hard to say.

In fact, even if the armored box cannot be penetrated, the 500kg-level high-explosive bomb can still cause great damage to the battleships on this plane. Not to mention anything else, at least it is sufficient explosives. Hippel does not have enough seaplanes like the main fleet. He can still fight twice when necessary. There are only 9 seaplanes in the three main ships, of which 6 have been sent for reconnaissance, and the remaining three are spare.

"This kind of feeling that you can't see and can't be hit is really bad!" Hippel felt very upset when he looked at the V1500 bomber that was swaying over his head. Although the 88mm anti-aircraft guns on ships such as Seedritz also fired at the air, the air defense of this era was not very reliable, especially when warships were moving at high speed, anti-aircraft shells were fired like fireworks, and then they were useless.

"If the British could send bombers here, it would probably not be difficult to take off from the southern part of the UK to bomb Wilhelmshaven, right? From now on, we may have to face a completely new combat situation." Hippel thought more. Looking at the bombs falling into the fleet from the air, Hippel had already thought about what to do if one day British bombers came to Wilhelmshaven. You must know that German warships were stationary in the port!

This is not Hippel's worries. In fact, in history, the British naval aviation has indeed air strikes on German ports. The most unbearable thing is that two unadvanced bombers bombed the airship warehouses in German military ports. However, dozens of kilograms of bombs actually burned two airship warehouses more than 200 meters long. Then all the British planes had to go back.

However, in today's aviation showdown, the German Navy was not defeated throughout the entire process. Among the seaplanes that were leaving, two J-1s type seaplanes successfully killed one British seaplane and discovered the British vanguard fleet that was coming at high speed. When it was around 2 pm, the avant-gardes of both sides finally came into contact!
