Chapter 1384 Massacre 1

The second torpedo hit the lower half of the No. 3 turret. (Two of Gangut's four turrets are in the middle of the hull.) The attacking German pilots clearly saw pieces of steel plates being blown to pieces by the huge explosion. The entire battleship seemed to be shaking at a constant distance. Bursts of dull explosions kept coming from the sea. "I thought we blew up the ammunition depot!" A German pilot recalled the scene after the war.

However, there is no further information on whether the ammunition depot was directly detonated. However, according to the confessions of the Russian naval officers who were picked up after the war, they did fill the ammunition compartment in the lower part of the No. 3 turret with water after being hit by the second torpedo. The reason is to prevent ammunition depots from exploding….

After a round of torpedo attacks on the left wing, the bomber force on the right wing also launched a round of torpedo attacks. The hit rate of this wave of lightning strikes was worse. Only one of the three aircraft hit, but this torpedo also hit the already severely damaged aircraft. At the stern, with a loud noise, the Gangut's steering gear room and another drive shaft were completely destroyed! The stern of the ship was hit by two consecutive torpedoes. The entire stern was on the verge of breaking off from the battleship. After a huge amount of seawater was poured into it, the huge gravity acted on the already severely damaged hull structure, causing bursts of explosions and metal fractures. The sound made the Russian naval officers and soldiers on the ship feel terrified.

The entire bow even rose slightly. At this time, a bomber that arrived later dropped a 550KG heavy bomb directly near the No. 4 turret in a shallow dive. The shell directly penetrated the 4th deck and eventually penetrated the entire engine room. ! After all, Gangut's horizontal defense strength is still incomparable to the super fearless Izmail-class battleship.

A blazing fireball soared from the middle and rear of the battleship, and the entire engine room was blown to pieces. So far, although this battleship is still floating on the water, everyone knows that this battleship is dead! The rear part of the battleship began to slowly sink to the bottom of the sea. After more than ten minutes, under the influence of huge gravity (too much water entered the rear part of the hull), the bow of the battleship was lifted high from the water. In the end, almost half of the hull was Quickly inserted into the water, the Gangu Special sank to the bottom of the sea!

The third one to arrive was the 4th Bomber Squadron, and they were targeting Gangut's other brother, the battleship Sevastopol! This battleship has also been activated and is preparing to evacuate the battlefield under the escort of 4 destroyers. The 130MM artillery and machine guns on the four destroyers continued to spit rain of bullets at the fleet of aircraft roaring down in the sky. The Russians arranged quite well this time. Four destroyers were arranged in pairs with the battleship in the middle. The destroyer's slender hull blocked the path of the torpedo attack, and the artillery and machine guns on it also attacked the torpedoes flying close to the sea. Machines pose a great threat.

So, the 4th Bomb Squadron decided to shoot these guys to death with bombs! At this time, K-6 bombers from other air forces that had finished dropping bombs flew over the battlefield to provide fire cover. Although these angels of death had thrown away their most lethal weapons, the dense machine guns and machine guns all over their bodies were still there. Make them extremely lethal to small destroyers!

A bomber quickly approaches the target from the 7 o'clock direction,

Like a pack of wolves quickly raiding their prey from behind. For a target like a destroyer, if you attack it from the front or the side, the attack time will be very short because of the high speed of each other. If you attack it from the side, because there is a compensation for the pursuit speed, the relative speed will not be very fast. , and attacking from the side and rear can avoid a considerable amount of anti-air fire.

The K-6 bomber lowered its altitude to about 50 meters and then maintained its flying attitude. Two 20MM cannons on the nose of the machine. There is a twin-mounted 12.7MM machine gun tower in the lower part of the belly, and two large-caliber machine guns located in the upper part of the aircraft. Aimed at the Russian destroyer sailing at a speed of 12 knots.

With the roar of machine guns, the Russians started firing bullets crazily at this behemoth with a wingspan of more than 20 meters from 1,500 meters away. Fire snakes were flying in the air. The four improvised machine guns behind the destroyer tried to build a fire net to prevent the opponent from approaching.

"There are no artillery, only 4 machine guns, safe!" The German pilot commented on the Russian anti-aircraft firepower. To be honest, this firepower is not as strong as the Russian Ilya bomber... It would be difficult for four machine guns to shoot from the ground against a Tracer, let alone a K-6 bomber with a maximum takeoff weight of more than 7 tons!

Accompanied by several harsh sounds, a few bullets still hit the bomber, but they only pierced a few holes in the body. One bullet hit the bulletproof steel plate in front of the pilot, leaving two silvery white streaks. bullet marks, and this was only learned later...

"The essential element of aerial shooting is to pull the trigger when the target fills the entire scope." The pilot recalled how his teacher taught him at the flight school.

"Teacher, what if we want to shoot ground targets?" He was still a young boy at the time and asked this question to the teacher for some unknown reason, perhaps joking or serious.

"It's very simple, shoot when the target fills half of the scope!" the teacher replied with a smile. Now, this student is working hard to put into practice what he learned in class.

The more than 70-meter-long destroyer quickly filled half of the sight. When the two sides were about 700 meters apart, the pilot pulled the trigger. With a slight vibration, a series of shells flew out of the muzzle, and hundreds of rounds of 20MM and 12.7MM ammunition formed an oval-shaped bomb drop area on the sea. This area was also accompanied by the aircraft moving forward rapidly, and after a few seconds, the entire destroyer was covered in it.

The 20MM armor-piercing incendiary bombs easily left fist-sized bullet holes in the partitions of the cabin. The shells tore into pieces the machine guns, personnel and other objects they encountered. The entire teak deck was set on fire. Balls of flame danced aft of the deck. A moment later, the dozen or so Russian naval officers and soldiers who were originally active on the rear deck of the destroyer were now only a mass of minced meat and bright red blood.

Although it is difficult for such an attack to completely destroy a target without detonating torpedoes or depth bombs, the blow to the morale of the Russian army and anti-aircraft firepower is huge. The barrages fired into the air began to become sparse. Bombers carrying heavy armor-piercing bombs began to enter the battlefield one by one. Get ready to get the third result today! And some bombers carrying high-explosive bombs also began to try to attack those destroyers. These high-speed little guys are still very annoying!
