1222 Aerial Firefight
"Enemy attack!"
"Planes, all planes!"
The sailor picked up the phone nervously, but his trembling fingers couldn't even press the correct phone number. The cigarette butt clamped on his fingertips fell down due to the trembling of his fingers and fell between his two fingers.
He threw away the cigarette in his hand in panic, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, tremblingly dialed the phone number in the command room, and in a trembling voice uttered a word that everyone was very familiar with recently: air strike!
The red wartime alarm was sounded for a moment, but there were actually no anti-aircraft weapons on the ship. The few machine guns used to deal with light ships may be the only weapons that can be used for anti-aircraft.
A formation composed of a large number of aircraft was overwhelming like dark clouds. The soldiers who first discovered these aircraft clung to the edge of the observation tower and shouted out the truest thoughts in their hearts.
Fake squid!
After a few minutes, the two sides finally got close to each other!
Bombs in the air fell like rain, and every sailor was ready to face death. The roar of weapons was accompanied by whispers of prayer in some places, and everyone's nerves were tense!
tong…
A bomb fell into the sea about twenty or thirty meters away from the warship. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, followed closely by the second one!
At this time, all the warships were at full speed and the boilers were running at full capacity. The helmsmen were testing their ability to control the ships. They had to speed up and rush out.
Maybe this is not the best way, but it is the only way now!
Everyone is praying, praying that if God really exists, please come and save them!
In fact, most sailors have nothing to do now. This is not a battle between warships. They have a lot of work to do. This is a unilateral "murder". In addition to locking themselves in the cabin and writing suicide notes, Nothing good to do.
People looked at the dark sky behind the wind and waves through the narrow windows, and their hearts continued to sink.
At the same time, a phone call reached Lynch, and the Navy requested assistance as soon as it encountered an air attack.
The Niujiao Strait is not far from Nagaril, but it is about more than three days' journey from the federal mainland. It is definitely too late for them to save them at this time. They can only ask Lynch for any good ideas.
After hearing this, Lynch did not hesitate and directly agreed to the rescue. As for the cost, we will discuss it after the war is over.
After hanging up the phone of the Ministry of National Defense, Lynch dialed the number in Nagaril, and the operator forwarded the coded telegram to the airport. Then thirty-six small planes that had never shown up on a frontal battlefield quickly took off. and disappeared into the sky.
For any weapon to be paid for by the Ministry of National Defense, it must have a proven record.
At least you have to prove to the Department of Defense and the senators in Congress that spending money to buy your things will not be regarded by the public as a money-power transaction.
As long as you can present facts to convince Congress and the Department of Defense, and make people think that your things are indeed valuable, then buying a screw for ten million is not a problem.
Fighters are Lynch’s trump card.
At this time, the air raids over the Niujiao Strait continued, and one destroyer had lost power.
The aerial bombs currently carried by aircraft are actually more aimed at killing non-armored units. They cannot penetrate into the thick deck and explode, and they cannot harm things in the cabin.
No matter how cheerfully these bombs exploded on the deck, their destructive power on the battleship itself was not very great.
But those air-dropped torpedoes were different.
It can aim more accurately and be launched closer to the battleship, but there are also some problems. Due to the angle of entry into the water, many torpedoes do not hit the target, but miss from under the ship.
If you want the torpedo to be released at an angle that can cause damage to the battleship, the bomber must be close to the water.
Only in this way will the torpedo not be propelled head-down when launched.
But once the bomber gets close to the water, those cannons can be very effective.
In this air raid, both sides were actually accumulating experience through bloody lessons.
For the Confederates, air defense became increasingly important as aircraft became available for use in military operations.
For those Pengeo people, they need to continue to work hard on the research and development of torpedoes. At least for now, they still do not have good control over the fleet.
The ship with blazing flames on the sea stopped or moved, which looked scary, but in fact the damage to the hull was not much.
Some people died, but except for one ship that lost power, the others could still drive back as long as the fire was extinguished.
This was a great victory for the Penteo people. Five years ago, they had no choice but to declare defeat during negotiations and became a defeated country.
But at this moment, they had mastered the method of dealing with the fleet. Their emperor seemed to have seen everything today five years ago.
They did not waste money on researching the manufacturing technology of large battleships, and they did not waste time and energy on studying the strategies and tactics of the fleet. They just used all the resources in the most correct place.
Next time, or even soon, they may be able to master the sea through airplanes!
The squadron leader was chatting with others over the radio, looking very relaxed. The warships below that they had no way to deal with were now like lambs to be slaughtered.
Suddenly someone yelled on the channel, and with a series of screams and an explosion, it became quiet again. Only then did people notice that a plane exploded on the sea.
Climbing from the height they were at was actually no different from falling directly to the ground. The huge energy could tear everything apart in an instant, and then cause an explosion!
Perhaps those cannons were working, but the squadron leader did not become alert because of this, and just asked everyone to increase their altitude.
But a few seconds later, he watched helplessly as a bomber not far away was smashed into pieces by bullets. What was even worse was that the bullets came from above!
He raised his head sharply. There were some strange-looking aircraft in the sky, which were constantly swooping, pulling up, and chasing...
Those planes all have the same feature, their noses can shoot two tongues of flame!
A sailor who was praying in the cabin that everything would go away felt something, and something warm shone on his face.
He raised his head, it was sunshine!
Something tore a hole in the dark clouds, allowing sunlight to shine through.
Those things at the breach are constantly expanding their results, and one bomber after another is falling at a high speed, emitting black smoke!
"It's reinforcements!"
"It's reinforcements!"
"The Federation has not given up on us!"
The sailors were excited instantly, and some even ran onto the deck without fear of death, waving their navy hats to express their gratitude to the warriors who were tearing apart the dark clouds in the sky.
Countless eyes, with the help of telescopes, gazed at those special aircraft in the sky.
The Blackstone Safety logo is printed on the wings of every aircraft!
Black and deep, but it also has a feeling of power that fills one's body!
Pengeo's bombers began to return quickly. They did not have anti-air weapons, so they could only watch as these twenty or thirty planes "slaughtered" them!
The radio channel went silent for a moment.
The leader in charge of the bombing mission gave the order, "Let's go separately and continue to raise the altitude..."
At this moment, someone interrupted him.
"Long live the Empire, long live His Majesty the Emperor..."
After saying this, a bomber suddenly left the formation and made a full circle laterally at a very high speed.
Just such a circle, the pilot almost fell into coma. At the moment when his eyes almost lost all light, he controlled his bomber and crashed into a fighter that was clinging to them...
With a loud bang, the collision of the two planes in the air ignited the brightest sparks in the sky.
More cries of determination came over the radio!
Long live the empire!
Long live His Majesty the Emperor!
This is destined to be an air battle that will be written into history. It is also the first large-scale air battle in the history of the world, and it is a unilateral massacre.
Except for the first fighter that was crashed because it failed to react in time, the other bombers that attempted to disrupt the pursuit through collision were all distanced and shot down.
These people paid the price with their lives, allowing more bombers and pilots to leave the battlefield.
Since the airport on the federal side was a bit far away from here, and considering that the pursuit was too deep and they might not be able to fly back, after a few minutes of pursuit, the thirty-five fighter jets turned around and flew toward the southwest...
The Niujiao Strait aerial incident attracted worldwide attention immediately after the incident. They may not have been able to obtain first-hand information, but they also obtained the situation on the battlefield through various written descriptions.
One of the Federation's destroyers lost power and stayed in place after closing its enclosed cabin. Other warships suffered varying losses and have returned.
This air raid caused more than 400 sailors to die in various accidents, and some were burned or scalded to death...
In addition, a total of forty-seven Pengeo Empire bombers were shot down, and the Federation lost an aircraft that had never been exposed to international attention!
At this time, the Foreign Minister of the Pengeo Empire also severely reprimanded the Federation for its reckless behavior in this military friction, demanding that the Federation take responsibility for this escalation of friction, and reserve the possibility of declaring war at any time!
The international situation became agitated in an instant, and the federal stock price, which had just experienced a sharp decline, rose sharply.
Although it has not risen back, overall it has not fallen that much.
When people have confidence in the federal military, the federal finance will also be stimulated to grow. This is actually normal.
Blackstone Security has once again been pushed into the spotlight, and almost everyone wants to know how they masturbate efficiently and quickly...
