Chapter 1390 Destruction 1
The K-6 bomber is like an eagle chasing rabbits. The German destroyers are the hunters who give the prey the final blow! These blindly running rabbits would collide directly with the hunters' guns without knowing what happened. Under the attack of air machine gun bullets, surface artillery shells, and torpedoes, one Russian destroyer was paralyzed on the sea, and Major General Hopman's The four light cruisers also performed very well. In this wave of battles, they also destroyed at least two Russian destroyers!
When the remaining Russian destroyers and torpedo boats evacuated towards the main fleet. The situation on the battlefield once again took a turn for the better. At this time, there were less than double digits of Russian aircraft still flying in the sky. The Baltic Fleet's smoke cans were finally exhausted. At this time, a sea breeze blew by, and most of the already thin smoke screen was blown away in an instant. The majestic figure of the Izmail-class battleship reappeared in front of the German pilots! And next to it are the remaining Russian destroyers!
"God, have you abandoned us to the devil?" Looking at the German fleet in the distance like hungry wolves and the group of bombers waiting in the air. Lieutenant General Bashilev lamented in despair!
When the fuel in the last smoke can was used up, several Russian soldiers stiffly pushed these things into the sea. When the smoke cleared, almost all Russian naval officers and soldiers realized that the final moment was coming! Most of them will probably sink into the sea together with their warships, and will never return to their home port in the Gulf of Finland!
"Okay, now it's time to end everything. All fleets are divided into two groups. Remember our goal today! Don't let a Russian battleship walk out of the Gulf of Riga!" Along with the transmission of radio and various signals, The Bavarian bomber formation, which had been waiting for some time, began its final attack on the two remaining battleships in the Russian Baltic Sea! At this time, the number of bombers still carrying heavy bombs and torpedoes in the sky was as high as 70 or more! They have enough ammo to destroy these guys!
4 bombers and 6 torpedo planes formed the first wave of attacks. They aimed at the Izmail, and the bombers flew directly over the target, while the torpedo planes were divided into two groups, one on the left and one on the right to double-team at the same time! The Russian anti-aircraft machine guns roared at their best, and a series of tracer bullets flew in the air. The shooters were frantically attaching boxes of ammunition to their bullet chains. Brass bullet casings on the ground had covered the deck, but the gods of death in the air showed no fear. A K-6 bomber flew at an altitude of 80 meters. A 550KG armor-piercing bullet was dropped from the top!
The bomb hit the port side of the battleship! The uppermost gun gallery armor plate was directly penetrated, and then it went all the way down and hit the inclined part of the side of the dome armor before exploding. Although it did not directly penetrate the core cabin, the violent explosion caused half of the gun gallery area to sit. Got a plane! No way, a shell conveying channel was destroyed. The flying shrapnel and flames directly ignited the shells and propellant in the conveyor. A series of explosions caused several decks to tremble and tear apart like an earthquake. Balls of flames and shock waves rushed out from below the deck, blowing half of the gun gallery deck to pieces!
Even if he suffered a heavy blow,
The Izmail was still holding on, with the four rudders constantly adjusting their angles, and the more than twenty boilers in the boiler room were also used to their limit. The entire battleship was filled with thick smoke and flames on the side strings. Running wildly on the sea at a speed of more than 24 knots, dodging bombs falling from the sky from time to time!
"This guy is very difficult to hit." A German pilot said with some dissatisfaction looking at the bomb that fell into the sea. Although the first bomb got off to a good start, the other two 550KG bombs were thrown directly into the sea, and the two 250KG high-explosive bombs dropped by the four bombers only hit one, directly tearing open a several square meter area at the stern of the ship. big hole. By the way, a fire was set.
What's really fatal is this wave of lightning strikes! Six torpedo planes entered the scene almost at the same time, stretching towards the target like two arms of a giant! It's like trying to strangle your opponent to death! Perhaps because the Izmail made too many maneuvers to avoid the bombing, its speed was greatly reduced. At this time, you are already a little unable to face the lightning strikes from two directions. This is obviously the time when your illness will kill you!
800 meters! Two groups of torpedo planes threw away torpedoes almost at the same time, and 6 torpedoes rushed towards the target in two fan shapes like swordfish!
"Full left rudder!" Following Bashilev's order, Izmail's steering gear was turned to the maximum in an instant, and even the hull tilted to a certain extent. However, while the battleship was still turning left, the sudden news that a torpedo was discovered on the right side caused the lieutenant general to immediately issue an order to turn in the opposite direction!
There is no way, this is the horror of cross lightning strikes. When the distance is close enough and there are torpedoes fired in a fan shape on both sides, it will be very dangerous whether turning left or right. And to be honest, when the Russian Navy's battleship anti-aircraft firepower tends to be bolder and there is no aircraft cover in the air, the German bombers can even be considered to be operating in an exercise environment!
One of the three torpedoes on the left side passed through the wake of the ship, and the other one was almost close to the stern of the ship. The third torpedo may have had problems with its attitude and depth when entering the water, and passed under the battleship. This made the Russians on the Izmail break out in a cold sweat and at the same time feel extremely lucky. However, they didn't even have time to catch their breath. When the heart that jumped into the throat returned, a loud noise made the entire battleship tremble!
On the right, two 450MM torpedoes hit this poor German fast battleship almost simultaneously! One shot hit the stern of the ship, while the other hit the middle of the hull! The torpedo that hit the stern of the ship directly blew away two servos and a propeller! And a huge pit with an area of more than ten square meters and a length of more than ten meters was left on the hull! The entire battleship instantly looked like a giant with sprained legs, stumbling across the sea!
Another torpedo also tore a huge hole in the middle of the hull, but perhaps because the hit situation was not ideal, this torpedo did not completely penetrate the Izmail's underwater defense system, causing countless shrapnel and high temperatures. The high-pressure bubble was blocked in front of the last layer of steel plates, but even so, it still brought more than 900 tons of water to the battleship! And part of the hull has been damaged. Under the squeeze of sea water, cracks appeared one after another. Therefore, although there was no direct breakdown, a large amount of sea water still entered the core cabin along the cracks and cracks.
