Take Taobao to fight against Japan

But it is a pity that most of the night battle planes had already flown to Matruh Fortress to join the battle 25 minutes ago.

Although there are quite a few remaining combat aircraft groups, it is really too difficult for them to fight in this pitch-black night sky.

"Report to the captain! The enemy radar has detected our bomber fleet, and the air defense alarm has been sounded!"

On a Huben Army submarine off the coast of Tobruk Port, when the captain Zhang Si was waiting for news in the command cabin, a communications officer rushed to report.

"What should come is finally here!"

Zhang Si's eyelids twitched slightly, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Quick, report this situation to the military seat immediately! Also, immediately send a signal to the frogman brothers in front to let them detonate the torpedo immediately, and then withdraw as quickly as possible! "

"Yes!"

The communication staff responded quickly, then turned and ran to the next communication room.

"Haha, I can finally blow up the fireworks!"

"Ghost, die for me!"

"Brothers, we will avenge you!"

Due to the limited distance of remote detonation, the frogman troops could only venture to stay in a sea area not far from Tobruk port, and immediately pressed the detonator according to the instruction after receiving the signal.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

Immediately afterwards, a series of earth-shattering explosions sounded in the port of Tobruk not far away, and all 6 torpedoes mounted below the Italian ships were successfully detonated.

"My God! What's going on!"

"Report to the captain, our warship has been attacked, and two bomb bays have flooded!"

"It's over, it's over! The enemy has already installed bombs on the bottom of our ship!"

"God! Help me!"

"Close the valve!"

"Quick, drive to the shore beach!"

"..."

The 6 main ships suffered heavy damage almost at the same time, and a big hole was blown out of the hull, and the sea water could not stop the crazy influx!

After the seawater poured into the cabin, the sailors at the bottom were thrown upside down, struggling desperately in the icy seawater.

The Italian sailors with a strong desire to survive began to frantically save themselves, trying to gain a glimmer of life by closing the airtight compartment, draining water, and rushing to the shore not far away.

The port of Tobruk seems to be embedded in the land with an oval C, which is a relatively long and narrow harbor.

In this harbor, not only can it avoid wind and waves, but it can also effectively block submarine attacks and even long-range artillery fire from battleships.

In this way, the ship will not be too far from the coastline, and the closest one is only one kilometer away.

At the same time, due to the limited capacity of the MKI manned torpedo, the torpedo body carried can only hold 270kg of aluminum-containing explosives, which can sink thousands of tons of warships, but there is no way to directly kill large-tonnage battleships and heavy cruisers.

Therefore, if they deal with it in time, there is still a chance to ground the battleship on the beach!

Even so, it doesn't mean that the main battleships are all gone, because such serious injuries can be said to be broken, and without a few months of repairs, they can't even return to the sea!

And a few months is enough for Yang Fan to do a lot of things.

The wounded battleship with an extremely strong desire to survive started desperately, sprinting towards the shore frantically.

However, there are too many ships in the harbor at the moment, and it is not easy for them to rush onto the beach.

After doing this, the Italian fleet, which had already become very busy, suddenly turned into a group of ants on a hot pot, in a state of chaos.

Chapter 1367

"Haha, well done! Tell the brothers to withdraw quickly, we should also enter the fighting state, and see if there is a chance to bite hard!"

Seeing the chaotic scene in the distance clearly through the periscope, Zhang Si nodded excitedly. Although they are only playing support tonight, soldiers who don't want to be marshals are not good soldiers. He also has the ambition to be the main output.

"There is news from the front that the enemy radar station has issued an early warning! The reconnaissance planes, dive bombers and escort fighter jets are advancing at full speed, and the torpedo bombers continue to follow up!"

After receiving the relevant instructions, the bombing formation commander Meng Xinke could only let go of his arms and go to work. First, he led the fast combat planes to lead the battle, and the slow torpedo planes came later to fill up the guns.

There is indeed no way to avoid this situation. Although someone Yang is cheating, but after all, he is not a god who can smash the galaxy with a sword, so he can't do whatever he wants.

In addition, although the speed of the torpedo plane is slow and the operation is very difficult, to achieve the ideal bombing effect on the enemy's naval fleet, it is necessary to bring these heavy guys.

The so-called ruler is short and inch is strong, the main advantage of the dive bomber is a high penetration rate and a high hit rate.

The high penetration rate is not difficult to understand. Its attack mode determines that this is a difficult target to hit. Large-caliber anti-aircraft guns are basically ineffective against dive bombers.

However, the range and power of machine guns/small-caliber machine guns are limited. When they can fire, the opponent often has already entered a stable dive posture. For a dive bomber with a solid body, it is difficult to stop it from dropping bombs even if it can score consecutive hits.

However, the disadvantage of the dive bomber is also obvious, mainly because it has very limited lethality against battleships and cruisers with relatively strong horizontal armor.

Therefore, if you want to sink these rough-skinned and thick-skinned big guys, you often need torpedo planes to kill them with one blow.

As we all know, torpedoes during World War II were not only very precious, but also too heavy.

Any one is more than seven or eight hundred kilograms, which is double the bomb load of a dive bomber.

The dive bomber needs to withstand the large overload during the dive and needs a high structural strength, so its own weight will consume a large amount of ammunition.

The loading capacity of the torpedo plane is much higher than that of the dive bomber, but as a price, the torpedo plane is often the one that lags behind in the formation, whether it is speed or range.

Thus, the advantages and disadvantages of torpedo planes are exactly the opposite of those of dive bombers.

Torpedoes are a very big threat to large surface warships. One torpedo is enough to slow down the water entry, and the more hits, the more dangerous it is.

In contrast, the penetration rate and hit rate of torpedo aircraft are very low.

Although the structure of aviation torpedoes has been strengthened, they still have very high requirements for the speed, height and attitude of launching.

It is not difficult to imagine a torpedo aircraft with a very slow speed, low-altitude straight flight, and average body strength. It is appropriate to call it a live target.

In order to effectively cover the maneuvering range of enemy ships, torpedo planes must attack in groups, and large-caliber antiaircraft guns are the main threat to them, especially with the vt fuze.

In addition, aviation torpedoes are limited by volume and weight, so their speed is not fast and their range is not very far. The hit rate is destined to be impossible to be high.

But in any case, torpedoes are the only means that can guarantee the sinking of enemy ships.

"What? A large number of Allied bombers are about to arrive at the port of Tobruk?"

Rommel was not asleep at this time, but was sitting in the war room of the headquarters. After hearing the news, his expression changed drastically!

Damn, what are you afraid of!

"Yes, Marshal, there are no less than 350 Allied combat aircraft, and they should arrive in 15 minutes at most! Moreover, the opponent has dispatched frogmen troops, which have already caused heavy damage to the fleet's six capital ships!"

The German Communications Staff Officer nodded seriously, although he also hoped that this was not true and that it was just a false alarm.

It's just that the cold objective facts will not be distorted and shifted by personal consciousness, even if he doesn't want to admit it or face it, that won't work.

"Bastard! How could such a thing happen!"

Rommel was trembling with anger. Before that, he had a hunch that tonight would definitely not be peaceful, so he made full preparations in all aspects.

However, it is a pity that under Yang Fan's coquettish operation, Rommel finally failed to hold the bottom line, and transferred most of the night fighter fleet guarding the port to the front line to fight against the crazy attacking Allied ground forces and aerial bomber fleet .

Because Rommel really didn't want to be repelled tens of kilometers away by the Allied forces overnight once he returned to the pre-liberation.

It's because of such a "one thought difference" that it's so uncomfortable now that I can't get up or down!

"Give immediate power to the front-line air force, so that they don't get too entangled with the Allies, and return immediately after completing the support mission!"

After circling various thoughts in his mind, Rommel immediately ordered: "Order the coastal air defense force to prepare for combat, and fully intercept the incoming enemy aircraft fleet!"

"The fighter group is ready to take off immediately to meet the enemy. No matter what, we can't let them succeed easily!"

"Also order the reconnaissance plane unit and the Mediterranean submarine unit to find the anchorage of the enemy fleet as quickly as possible!"

After promulgating a series of combat orders, Rommel said murderously: "We must retaliate against these damned things, and make them pay a heavier price!"

"Buzz!"

More than ten minutes passed quickly, and the Allied bomber formation arrived as scheduled. The dense roar of the engines was like rolling thunder, overwhelming the sky and covering the sky, exuding the supreme coercion without anger.

At this time, high-altitude searchlights on the coastline of Tobruk Port were turned on one after another, and beams of strong light shot into the sky.

Immediately afterwards, the anti-aircraft guns on the air defense positions on various shores scrambled to be the first to spew out long tongues of flame, and opened fire frantically at the Allied bombers that began to dive at high speed.

At the same time, the Italian naval fleet also made the same move, and the anti-aircraft guns of various calibers were fully fired.

In an instant, the sound of guns and cannons was loud, and the light bullets drew bright rays of light in the air, forming countless criss-crossing firepower grids.

Don't talk about exposing targets at this time, because the reconnaissance planes of the Allied bombing formations can completely

Because under the illumination and radar scanning of reconnaissance planes, the port of Tobruk, which already has significant geographical features, cannot be hidden at all.

At this time, instead of waiting to be beaten and bombed, it is better to fight frantically to cause panic and damage to the enemy bomber formation to the greatest extent.

If you want not to die on the battlefield, you must not be afraid of death first, otherwise you will be the first to die!

Chapter 1368

"Hey, why are there really no enemy fighter jets coming out to intercept?"

I don't know if it was because they were afraid of being accidentally injured by their own ground air defense firepower, or because all the night combat planes were sent out, and the escort fighter jets that had been rushing to the forefront did not encounter the German fleet that took off to intercept.

"There are all reconnaissance planes and fighter jets. Don't stop, keep moving forward, expand the search area, and be ready to fight at any time!"

However, for the sake of safety, dozens of escort fighter jets did not participate in the ground attack, but continued to fly and cruise forward to expand the security alert area.

"Brothers, hit hard!"

"Ghost, don't let me die!"

"Damn the devil, all go to God!"

The dive bomber pilots following the fighter group started their performance.

Facing the dense enemy anti-aircraft artillery fire, none of them showed any fear. They divided into several bombing batches and headed forward, launching desperate dive-bombings against military targets such as enemy fleets and anti-aircraft positions moored in the port.

Da da da!

A string of caliber ammunition rained down like a torrential rain, bombarding the enemy anti-aircraft artillery on the warship that was spewing flames with hatred and killing intent.

It's either you die or I die, what else can I say at this time, just do it!

When the plane dived to the best position, the pilots pressed the bomb switch without hesitation, and smashed heavy aerial bombs at the enemy ships.

Dive bombers are characterized by high lateral accuracy (directly determined by the aircraft heading) and low vertical accuracy (because the timing of bombing needs to be mastered), so cutting directly along the course of the enemy ship and aiming at the bombing can accurately hit the target.

Boom boom boom!

Under the calm and composed operation of the dive bomber pilots, the heavy aerial bombs hit the target accurately one after another.

Immediately afterwards, clusters of raging flames shot up into the sky, illuminating half of the sky at once.

Although the ground anti-aircraft firepower of the German-Italian coalition forces is very dense, but in the absence of proximity fuze shells, these anti-aircraft firepower really need to rely on faith if they want to hit the Allied aircraft in the night sky!

Of course, these ground anti-aircraft firepower is definitely not just a display, especially those 88mm anti-aircraft guns are not in vain. Once they are directly hit, they will definitely die.

Blind cats can also encounter dead mice, not to mention such a dense ground anti-aircraft firepower.

In just a few minutes, more than 10 Allied dive-bombers were successively swept by anti-aircraft artillery.

Three of them were blown up and disintegrated directly in the air, and the rest were severely damaged and lost their balance, unable to continue fighting.

In an irreversible situation, those brave and fearless pilots did not choose to parachute to save themselves, but with the determination to die, they rammed into the enemy warships, or the anti-aircraft artillery positions that were firing crazily.

In this world, it is not only the devil pilots who have the courage and ferocity to complete the final blow before the crash, and these Allied pilots who have long put their lives on the line also have them!

As the saying goes, one man is desperate to be invincible to a hundred men. Under the round after round of indiscriminate bombing by the Allied pilots, the air defense positions on the shore of Tobruk Port and the war fleet in the port are constantly rising. skyrocketing flames,

I don't know how many bullets and bombs accurately hit the ground target, causing serious damage to the enemy time and time again.

In just a few minutes, the port of Tobruk turned into a world of fire, and the originally dark port was now illuminated by piles of raging flames into daylight.

"I buy it, it's really spectacular!"

"Quick, enter the battle immediately! Sink all these damn warships!"

Just before the dive bomber group's attack was over, more than 50 torpedo bombers arrived late and finally arrived at the fierce battlefield that had been fully detonated.

The British torpedo plane pilots with extremely rich combat experience immediately divided into two teams after entering the battlefield, cutting obliquely from the bow of the enemy ship, and the two teams launched an attack formation perpendicular to each other.

The torpedo course is perpendicular to the enemy course, which is the most favorable attack position.

If the enemy ship evades, it must let the bow of the ship face one of the torpedo planes, while the other torpedo plane has achieved the best attack position.
