1389 Desperate 2

"Light cruisers are in groups in pairs, covering each other, paying attention to keeping distance. Destroyers reorganize and stop them!" Faced with another wave of attacks, Major General Hopman is taking advantage of the last time to readjust his fleet. The destroyers go on dog fights, and the light cruisers sniped from the side from a long distance. However, I have to say that the number of Russian destroyers this time is really a bit too large. (This is also a historical fact. Book friends with "The Sea of ​​Fearlessness" can check out the combat sequence of the Russian Baltic Fleet. Although the total number is definitely not comparable to that of England and Germany, it is not a problem to take out more than 30 destroyers and torpedo boats!)

When groups of destroyers are arranged in a tight formation and then quickly approach and release the torpedoes together, let alone the hit rate, the volley of dozens of torpedoes can completely interfere with the maneuver of a fleet. Hopman's fleet is not powerful, and the torpedoes of destroyers have consumed a lot in the previous battle. If you intercept it simply by naval guns, it will be more difficult. After all, it is still a bit difficult to use high-explosive bombs to hit ships with a total weight of thousands of tons. Therefore, those guys who are like piranhas are still very terrifying!

However, Major General Hopman's concern did not occur. Just as the Russians were about to enter the final charge stage before the lightning strike, the arrival of more than a dozen K-6 bombers changed the situation on the entire battlefield!

"Oh God, they rushed over! We can't get rid of them!" A Russian sailor on the Ukrainian said in a trembling voice as he looked at the K-6 bomber flying at an altitude of more than 100 meters above sea level.

"Hurry up the machine guns! Knock them down!" An officer walked to the deck a few steps and used his belt to pull the soldiers who were trying to find a shelter to the next to the machine gun. On the rear deck, two double-mounted machine guns were connected with the ammunition chain under the operation of more than a dozen soldiers, and then put the huge target in the distance in the center of the circular center of the mechanical sight!

When Russia met German bombers, it still maintained its previous formation navigation. The speed and course of the entire formation did not change much. The Russians who led the team knew that if the fleet dispersed at this time, they could indeed avoid attacks from the air, but the group's plan to shoot torpedoes to disrupt the opponent's formation was completely lost, so he planned to fight! However, when you are stable, your opponent is also stable. Even the German pilot was amazed at why the Russian destroyer did not hide when the bomber flew?! Do you really think you can run past the bomber? This is obviously a contempt for the speed of the aircraft!

So, the first team of bombers flew over the high-speed destroyer almost in a state of chasing the tail, and then dropped a series of 100KG and 50KG bombs!

Boom! Accompanied by a series of explosions, the Russian destroyer in the distance was covered by water walls in an instant. If you look from the air, you can clearly see several bombs falling around and on the destroyer. Then, in an instant, the flames and water columns engulf the target!

Although the destroyer is very fast, the length of the hull is 70 meters after all! The German bomber ignored a little machine gun firepower and reduced the height to around 100 meters. The probability of a bomb being shot directly may not be high, but if more than 5 bombs are dropped directly, it would be different! Just like a seeder, piles of bombs dropped by K-6 bombers instantly covered the targets!

Boom! The Ukrainian was hit on the rear deck by a 50KG bomb! Although the weight was about the same as a 150MM shell, the charge was at least 4 times that of the latter's high-explosive bomb! The entire destroyer seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer. Under the huge impact force, several cabins at the stern were blown into pieces, and countless shrapnel and flames poured into the servo cabin at the rear of the destroyer. It was like a running cheetah suddenly cut off the tail, and the Ukrainian made irregular movements on the sea.

Another Cossack was even worse. A 100KG high-explosive bomb was just in the center of the destroyer! A 102MM cannon and the chimney in front were directly wiped from the hull by dozens of kilograms of high-explosive charges. The blue-green flame spread around the cracks and passages under the sea breeze. The sharp shrapnel easily cut off the fragile steam pipeline. The destroyer, which could run at a speed of more than 30 knots, was quickly reduced to 15 knots. As the flame spreads to the power compartment, it was only a matter of time before the destroyer was shut down.

Some near-loss bombs were also fatal! After a Russian destroyer rushed through the water curtain produced by the explosion, he sank into the seabed under the horror of a group of Russians... The hundreds of tons of torpedo boat hit two near-loss bombs, one of which was 50KG high-explossive bombs almost hit the waterside against the ship. The violent explosion was like a small mine to smash the fragile water-tight compartment. Relying on inertia, the little guy rushed out, but soon, a large amount of water inlets knocked him into the arms of the sea. Balls of water mist and high-temperature gas surged out from the gaps of the warship, and there were some explosion sounds in the middle. This should be the result of the explosion of seawater and high-temperature boilers...

When the first wave of air strikes ended, all the bombers pulled up, circled, and entered the next round of attacks again. The bombers that had thrown away the ammunition began to strafuse the Russian destroyers with machine guns like hedgehog fire. They even pulled the target closer to 300 meters! Then, accompanied by the flash of machine gun fire and the shells falling like raindrops, a destroyer was completely covered by the firepower of at least 2 20MM machine guns and 4 machine guns! In less than a few seconds, hundreds of bullet holes appeared on the hull!

The sound of metal collisions, the twisting and tearing of steel plates, the crackling sound of flames when they burned and the screams of people after being hit by shrapnel. The broken cabin, the ubiquitous flames, the blood flowing across the deck and the incomplete corpses made all of this a real hell. After two consecutive rounds of strafing, although the destroyer was still sailing on the sea, no one dared to touch the cannons next to the pile of corpses! The bloody smell and corpses stimulated everyone's nerves. The roar of the machine gun was like a demon's whisper. Faced with almost irresistible power, the morale of the Russians was approaching the brink of collapse!

Some destroyers no longer care about formation and chose to escape. The evacuation of the first destroyer kicked off the collapse of the Russian offensive. More and more destroyers and torpedo boats began to avoid the god of death from the air, but machine guns and bombs are different! The dense shooting at almost face-to-face distance and the large amount of bullets can allow the K-6 bomber to chase the opponent and fight......
