The fighters and bombers in the sky were like vultures smelling of rotten corpses. The battleship Malaya, which had been maintained at a speed of more than 15 knots, tilted at a speed visible to the naked eye after the explosion, and the superstructure smoked thick black smoke The speed also slowed down suddenly, and seemed to be unable to move at all.
Originally like a hedgehog, the battleship was covered with anti-aircraft guns in the middle, and now there are few counterattacks. The fire burned and brought out thick smoke to cover the sky. The flag of the Royal Navy of the British Empire, which once represented the invincible, was burning in the flames, and the sailors running on the battleship were everywhere.
The bomb directly penetrated the horizontal armor plate in the middle of the battleship, and then stumbled into the ammunition storehouse of a 76mm caliber secondary gun of the battleship. The shells hoarded in the ammunition depot destroyed the cabin not far away, and the powerful impact force killed a Malayan boiler.
Seawater poured into the ruptured cabin, and the entire Malaya began to tilt, but the battle-hardened British navy soldiers were working hard to rescue their warships. This kind of damage was not enough for a battleship with a full-load displacement of 33,000 tons. .
On the bridge, the captain Malayan finally got up from the ground. He looked around. There were sailors and officers humming on the ground. Of course, more people climbed up on their own. Being dizzy and turning to figure out what happened.
"Contact the loss manager! I want to know how damaged the battleship is! Send someone out to see what is going on! ... Send the Eagle a telegraph and tell them that we have been hit and need more air cover. Commanded the captain as he climbed up.
A staff member looked at him in horror, then immediately turned back and called to the sailor officers around him: "The captain is wounded! Go and call a medical soldier!"
"I'm fine!" The captain shouted angrily: "You go down! Go to the middle of the hull and show me the damage! Immediately! Immediately! Go!"
The staff member nodded and hurried out of the bridge command room. A soldier ran in panic and stood upright next to the captain: "Report the captain! The center is shot and the ship is sinking."
"Let the damage manager start repairing the holes now! Repair! Quick!" The captain changed his face as soon as he heard it, and quickly ordered: "Order the watertight compartment of the port side! Adjust the inclination of the warship!"
In the sky, German pilots are climbing again to find their own altitude. A brief exchange of fire has just demonstrated the absolute superiority of German fighters in quality. They shot down seven British gladiator fighters that attempted to interfere with Stuttgart's bombing in one fell swoop and recovered all the losses they had just lost.
"It seems that next time we don't have to hurry to drop the torpedoes. Their aircraft is not our opponent. Even if they carry torpedoes, they can't take us. Captain!" The wingman yelled in his earphones while climbing.
"Shut up! Be careful of cruisers! Anti-aircraft guns! My God!" The commander of the fw-190 formation carefully operated the aircraft to avoid the shells coming from the British ship while climbing his own height: "Command the brothers to form! We give They have a cruel thing! "
"No. 4! No. 4! Pull up! No. 9! Stop entanglement! Pull up! We are in formation at high altitude and then continue to dive!" The wingman repeated in the headphones.
A gladiator fighter killed his red eyes and followed a stupa's rapid climb. He bit the stupa's tail and kept firing. However, the fighter pilots of the German Navy apparently would not let go of such a good opportunity, two climbing fw-190 fighters were killed, halfway down the crazy British aircraft into parts.
"Hey! That battleship is on fire! Did you see it?" A fighter pilot glanced under the clouds and exclaimed.
"Stuka's brother has hit it! Stuka's brother has hit that battleship!" Another voice also said in the headphones.
"Keep in formation!" The commander of the fw-190 formation glanced at the smoky battleship Malaya and ordered: "Help the Stuttgart fleet get rid of its tail! Then we dived and dropped bombs, the British aircraft just got messed up, we took advantage Chaos continues to attack. "
On the carrier Hawk, the commander of the 1st Squadron of the British Royal Navy lowered the telescope in his hand and glanced at the captain of the carrier Hawk nearby, and sighed: "How many Gladiator fighters can fly Let's all go into combat now. "
"The fighter plane took off urgently!" The captain commanded loudly: "Let the swordfish take off too! Don't mount the bomb anymore, cover the entire fleet with air defense! Hurry!"
"Adjust the course and sail west! I hope the German navy has no courage to catch up." The fleet commander looked at the smoking Malaya in the distance, and added: "The Malaya can now maintain Retreat at maximum speed. "
"Yes! Commander!" The captain nodded and gave the order: "Send a signal to the surrounding ships. After 2 minutes, they turned to the right and headed to the west ..."
"After 2 minutes! Heading west!" The first officer repeated the command of the captain loudly.
"Telegram to the British domestic! Malayan was injured, our fleet gave up the task of containment of the German fleet, and immediately returned to the ship." The fleet commander added.
"Yes!" The telegraph officer on the side nodded and recorded the commander's order.
"Send a signal to Malaya to confirm the damage. Ask us what we can do to help ..." While he was still giving orders, an officer who had been holding the telescope and watching the distance put the telescope down.
His face was frightened, and his voice shuddered a little: "Sir! The German planes are attacking again!"
"Attacked again?" Asked in disbelief. The fleet commander lifted his telescope and looked at the sea. In the distance, the German aircraft began a new round of dive attacks.
"My God! When did the war on the sea become different from before? How could an air strike from an aircraft carrier take off such a heavy bomb, how could it last for so long?" The fleet commander He murmured in his mouth while looking at the German plane.
It was different. The German pilots in the sky finally understood what the head of state called the long-distance naval battle. After all, large ships and artillery can't be beaten by the carrier aircraft. After 20 years of development, the carrier aircraft finally have the power to challenge the overlord at sea. Those seemingly hard armor and sharp spears will have no effect when the dense bullets sweep over.
"The bomber's blaster screened! We approached these warships at low altitude! Then tossed torpedoes in the right place!" The commander of the fw-190 fighter jet dived while issuing the attack command, and an obedient answer came from the headset.
Low-altitude gladiator fighters greeted us daringly, hoping to interfere with the bombing trajectory of the German aircraft, but with the cover experience and the unprecedented increase in morale, the German aircraft formation obviously did not fall into a panic again. They saw the needle and attacked the warship. The cover killed the British fighters, and for a time, the entire sky seemed to be occupied by these German fighters in gray camouflage.
Soon, the German plane caught a gap in a British warship. Two fw-190 with torpedoes stuck against the water and threw the torpedoes hanging under their belly into the water. The tail propellers of the two torpedoes were stirred up in the sea water, pulling out two white straight lines and rushing towards the British warship in front of them.
Obviously, the British destroyers on the outermost perimeter saw these two terrible things. The entire warship began to decelerate violently, and the entire hull made a sound of steel squeezing. But the destroyer's efforts paid off, and it successfully avoided these two white lines of death. Two white lines in the sea rubbed the destroyer's bow and swam past the destroyer, advancing further.
And not far from the destroyer, a huge water column rose into the sky, and a cruiser was violently turning to avoid the Stuttgar bomber that quickly rushed down the sky. It successfully avoided the attack in the sky, but the torpedo brought by the destroyer hit a front.
The beautiful bow of this light cruiser was hit by a torpedo, and a huge explosion followed. This light cruiser was obviously not as thick and thick as the battleship Malaya. After a violent explosion, the entire battleship It began to sink at a rate visible to the naked eye.
The entire bow of this light cruiser has been blown up. A hole about the size of a fighter jet is violently pouring into the sea. The double-mounted main gun in front of the artillery pointed to its deck because of the huge shock.
"The Penelope! Penelope was hit!" On the bridge of the British flagship carrier Eagle, an officer screamed in shock, like a terrified woman, but he did The gaffe has not been blamed. Everyone looked at the sea not far away. The bow of the light cruiser hit again exploded. The huge explosion directly destroyed a front turret, which seemed to be an ammunition depot because of the fire. Martyred.
The British fleet commander, who did n’t know what to say, suddenly looked at the carrier aircraft commander on the aircraft carrier and asked, "What about our bombers? Did they return the news?"
Before the officer answered, a violent explosion suddenly occurred on the port side of the battleship Malaya, and a black smoke rose from the middle of the battleship Malaya, on the bridge of the aircraft carrier Eagle. , Even without telescopes, you can see that there are many parts of the battleship flying to the sky with the explosion.
The battleship Malayan was over, and the idea suddenly appeared in the hearts of all British naval officers present.
