Chapter 616 616 Rifle Air Defense Battle

"They've turned around! They're fleeing into the distance..." In the cockpit of a Stuka dive bomber that had run out of bombs, the pilot stared at the enemy ship under his feet and said.

In the headset, the voice of the pilot in another plane came: "It's easier than expected, they didn't perform evasive maneuvers!"

"I just said that the instructor thought they were smart! They have never seen a plane before, how could they practice evasive maneuvers in advance?" At the same time, some pilots followed suit.

In fact, in the era of sailing warships, the navies of various countries still had some corresponding tactics, but the replacement of warships made this kind of tactics go to extinction.

The Datang Group has developed an ironclad warship, which is so far ahead in terms of speed, defense and firepower that it turns naval battles into a hunting game.

After various countries replaced the new type of ironclad ships, they did not fully understand the corresponding tactics of this new type of warship.

To put it bluntly, they are not very good at using this new type of warship, and they have not fully adapted to the new type of naval warfare.Including the naval battle between the Poplar Kingdom and the Pine Kingdom, the high losses of both sides are also because their tactics are basically very rigid.

Everyone will only go up to the face and directly output the opponent, pouring firepower at a very close distance, which is no different from the tactics of the age of sailing.

In such a big environment, in fact, various naval warfare tactics have degenerated. In a very short period of time, everyone seems to have forgotten the original appearance of naval warfare.

Another battleship was shot and caught fire, paralyzed in place waiting to sink - after it exploded, the entire hull was tilting to one side, and the roll of the battleship had reached an irreversible point.

Soon, the mast of the battleship fell sideways in the sea water. The corpses and sundries on the deck slid into the sea water along the deck. The hull below was exposed to the water, and there were not many barnacles on the hull .

Cyric has always been producing warships at full power, and the most produced by their shipyards is the Cyric destroyer manufactured against Datang Industry's simplified destroyer.

These warships are favored by various countries because of their stronger firepower.Everyone is purchasing frantically, and the number used exceeds the simple destroyer of Datang Group.

The new battleship had just been manufactured, and it was bombed and sunk here before even the barnacles flooded, which is really regrettable and distressing.

If these steels can be given to Tang, then maybe dozens of tanks can be produced, and it seems that they can arm an armored regiment again.

Not far from the sunken battleship, another larger cruiser was slowly sinking.

Compared with Cyric's destroyers, Cyric's cruisers seem to be a little stronger.It didn't overturn or break, it just sank slowly, that's all.

Unlike those tragic explosions and twisted and broken scenes, this battleship was quite lucky.Its ammunition depot did not explode, and its power compartment was relatively intact.

It's just that a hole was blown out of the side, and the sea water was pouring in. No one could stop this from happening, because everyone on the ship had already abandoned the ship and jumped into the sea.

Soldiers who fell into the water were floating everywhere on the sea, some of these sailors were gathered together, and some were scattered around.

Fortunately, the sinking of the current battleship will not leak a lot of oil stains, and it will not be disgusting to spit out the overnight meal after taking a sip of sea water.

A Butcher fighter plane began to dive, and the sailors floating on the sea could finally clearly hear the roar of the plane's engine and the sound of the airflow splitting when the plane dived.

Even if the howling device is not installed, there is actually a sound when the plane dives.It's just not so harsh, not so scary.

The Butcher aimed its nose at a battleship and began a frenzied strafing.The cannon shells it fired extended from the tail end of the battleship to the bow of the battleship.

A group of poor soldiers on the deck holding rifles and pulling the bolts were enveloped by these two series of machine gun bullets, and they were immediately turned on their backs.

The soldiers who survived by luck were so frightened that their legs trembled, and they watched their comrades whose arms were blown away by the machine gun bullets fell on the deck and howled loudly.

The sawdust splashed by the machine gun bullets on the deck was astonishingly lethal. A soldier with wood fragments stuck in his face was crying and groping on the deck, his face was covered with blood, which looked extremely scary.

The body hanging on the railing of the ship was swept away by the waves, and some people were desperately calling for help, and it was unknown whether he was injured or his comrades were hit.

The Cyric sailor who had been scared out of his wits staggered to his feet, hurriedly picked up the Cyric Type 1 rifle that had been left beside him, and then, regardless of the sea water on his face, he pulled the bolt and picked up the rifle. Aim for the sky.

He has been really fired up by the strafing just now, and now his anger has overcome his fear, he has forgotten his fear, and he wants to shoot down an enemy plane regardless, and let out a good breath of anger.

It's a pity that when he pointed his weapon at the sky again, the butcher fighter that dived and strafed him had drifted away and started to climb.

"Boom!" He pulled the trigger on the gradually shrinking target in the distance, and tried to hit a plane that had gone away on the swaying battleship deck purely by feeling.

It's a pity that all this was in vain after all, he didn't see his own bullets, nor did he see any problems with the flying plane.

Just as he was observing intently, wanting to confirm whether his shot just now had any effect, behind him, another Butcher fighter jet had already started a second round of strafing.

Coherent machine gun shells hit the deck, splashing a piece of sawdust.Hearing the sound, Cyric's soldiers turned their heads and saw the bullet holes on the two rows of decks extending to his feet.

The soldiers, who had no time to react, just stood there, sieved by the flying wood chips.

His body fell straight, and together with other corpses around him, it was piled up on the bloody deck.

As it turns out, it's really not a good idea for soldiers to go on deck with single-shot rifles and fight planes.Although occasionally a bullet hole can be left on the plane by luck, it is meaningless to the entire battle situation.

But struggling is still a struggle. The soldiers standing on the deck are not thinking of shooting down all the planes to win this victory, but to make the battleship they are on look more difficult to provoke, so that those planes give up attacking Own plan, to bomb other ships.

It's like when you meet a cheetah, you don't need to run faster than the cheetah, you just need to outrun your companions...

"Boom!" Another Stuka swooped down and dropped the bomb on the deck full of blood and corpses.

Two seconds later, a huge explosion lifted most of the bridge, and the funnel of the battleship collapsed to one side. Another battleship left the fleet like this, gradually slowed down, and finally remained motionless, sinking little by little across the sea. .

In fact, more bombs were dropped into the sea than bombs that hit battleships.After all, training is training, and actual combat is actual combat. The two are actually not the same concept at all.

Pilots who have only experienced bombing training were able to achieve such brilliant results in their first attack on the sea, not because they were so powerful, but because their opponents were worse.

How do you say something?It all depends on peers: When the commanders of the navy have not learned the S-type maneuver, the high hit rate of bombing is nothing new.

However, there were still some smart people, and soon one of Cyric's destroyers began to turn, and it was unknown whether it was to break away from the fleet, or simply to confuse the opponents in the sky.

The destroyer turned to avoid a bomb that fell on it. After the bomb fell into the water, the Cyric destroyer turned again and changed its course!

It couldn't be seen when it turned for the first time, but the pilots who dropped the bomb could see the clue after turning twice in a row: the opponent was self-taught, and temporarily innovated a way to avoid bombs.

Although the speed was low, and although there were not many anti-aircraft machine guns to provide protection, such two consecutive maneuvers still reflected the strong desire for survival of the captain and commander on this destroyer.

It's just that the idea of ​​this Cyric destroyer is not a common phenomenon. Most of the Cyric attacking warships in the fleet are still dumbfounded, and they look like idiots who are passively beaten.

Ever since, the follow-up Stuka bombers who cared about efficiency left this snake-like destroyer one after another, and rushed towards those stupid targets.

Soon, another battleship caught fire and exploded, and the blown parts even fell on the deck of another nearby battleship.

This is the first air-to-sea battle in the history of the world. Obviously, the air force has won a big victory: So far, no plane has been shot down, but seven or eight warships have been sunk!

The soldiers who fell into the water looked up at the sky, watching the vulture-like enemy planes chasing and killing their own warships, feeling indescribable in their hearts.

Their own future is even more uncertain, because they don't even know if there will be a boat to pick them up.

After floating on the sea for a long time, even if they can swim, they will die sooner or later-they don't have enough life-saving equipment, and the small boats on the battleship have already sunk to the bottom of the sea along with the ship.

Soon the sharks would arrive, gnawing at the bodies floating on the surface.Then they will be attracted by the living people floating in the water, trying to improve their food.

"Help! Help me! I don't want to die!" Finally, someone couldn't bear the pressure and started to cry.They waved their hands to the sky, hoping that someone would notice them in the water.

Although the chances are slim, they can at least... have a one in a million chance of surviving.
