After losing more than ten attack aircraft, the large Italian sea-based attack aircraft finally entered the attack position. Subsequently, more than fifty attack aircraft of various types were divided into two groups and launched an attack on the opponent's fleet! At this time, after a

After the bloody battle, the fighter jets that could still accompany the attack aircraft had to continue to rush to the front and take responsibility.

Suppressing the opponent's firepower and attracting the opponent's anti-aircraft fire, the dive bombers began to descend to prepare to drop bombs, while the torpedo planes divided into two teams and flew to both sides of the target aircraft carrier at the same time, preparing to cross-release torpedoes. This time the target they selected was Bohemian

The two aircraft carriers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire: Asia and Rau.

The former was chosen because of the commander's flag flying above the Bohemia. The latter was chosen because this is the largest aircraft carrier in the Austro-Hungarian Empire! "Full left rudder, let the escort fleet follow closely!" on the Bohemia

Next to the aircraft carrier is the escort fleet headed by Prinz Eugen. The huge hull of Bohemia drew an S-shaped track on the sea, while Prinz Eugen and several other ships

The destroyers used intensive barrage to intercept the opponent's attack aircraft. The 230-meter-long hull of the Prinz Eugen blocked the left side of the Bohemia. Any fighter jets that wanted to enter from this direction would be boarded by the warship.

Hundreds of various anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns fired concentrated fire! At this time, the Austro-Hungarian fleet that was struggling to resist was like a fire hedgehog, spitting deadly flames in the air!

Although the momentum is great, in the face of this kind of suppression by existing fighter jets and the formation attack of the opponent's attack aircraft, without fire control radar, VT bombs and better anti-aircraft guns. (Bofors in the article and Bofors in history

Foss has the same name but it is not the same type of artillery! Please note) This type of air defense combat is more

Most of them are used to reduce the opponent's attack hit rate rather than how many aircraft can actually be shot down. The aircraft shuttled in the dense rain of bullets. Except for two dive bombers, they were unlucky to be hit by high-explosive bombs flying in the sky. The rest participated in the attack.

More than a dozen dive bombers successfully passed through the barrage and began to drop bombs!

"Full right rudder! Avoid them!" When the three dive bombers rushed towards the Bohemia, Jordi immediately ordered that the crisis had arrived. The remaining half an hour or so would completely decide the outcome.

The outcome of this battle! The opponent seized the opportunity very accurately. When the four fighter jets just used their cannons,

After sweeping the gun positions on the right antiaircraft gun deck, three dive bombers arrived one after another. While the Austro-Hungarian navy officers and soldiers were cleaning up the corpses on the gun positions, rescuing the wounded and loading ammunition, the three dive bombers had already

Three 250kg bombs were dropped from a height of 500 meters!

The rudder was pushed to the maximum, and under the influence of huge inertia, the entire battleship began to tilt, so that the people working on the deck were a little unsteady. Thanks to sufficient power and relatively timely response, this wave of attacks

The three bombs did not cause any damage. Except for a near miss that caused some water to enter some cabins, the other effects were not significant. After all, it was a 250kg armor-piercing bomb with a limited internal charge.

One wave after another. After struggling to dodge the first wave of attacks, before Holiday could take a breath, two more teams of dive bombers dropped bombs. This time, the opponent's bombings were coordinated very well, from the two on the left to the right.

Attacks were launched in different directions, which made the Bohemia not know where to hide. After trying its best to avoid 4 bombs, two bombs finally hit the Austro-Hungarian Navy.

Flagship. A bomb penetrated the deck and exploded in the hangar. Although the charge was not very large, dozens of kilograms of high explosives still tore several aircraft parked in the hangar into pieces, and there were still some remaining residue inside the aircraft.

The fuel and engine oil also burned, and the billowing smoke began to spread along the gaps to the entire battleship. The emergency team had to put on gas masks to extinguish the fire and pull down the fire curtain to prevent the spread of the fire.

After another bomb penetrated the flight deck and the main horizontal armor below, it finally landed in the power compartment of the Bohemia. Under the huge kinetic energy impact, a boiler was directly destroyed. Although this bomb

There was no explosion in the end, but the pressure inside the boiler and the high-temperature and high-pressure steam still turned this sub-silo into an out-and-out Shura field! After the huge impact

Under the action of force, even fragments the size of screws have the lethality of bullets, and the seemingly harmless water vapor is even more lethal. Maybe just one breath can destroy a person's respiratory tract! Rolling

Steam and black smoke from combustion spread from the hull, and the battleship, with its power compartment nearly half paralyzed, quickly slowed down, paving the way for the bombing below.

When the third wave of bombers once again threw a 250kg bomb into the hangar of the Bohemia, the front hangar of the entire battleship was completely turned into a sea of ​​flames. This was a high-explosive bomb, with an internal height of

Nearly 120kg of explosives made the action of extinguishing the flames a

This was a fantasy, because the bomb fell directly on the head of the damage control team, and the entire damage control team was wiped out. The huge explosion directly opened a big hole in the upper flight deck, and a large amount of air poured into the aircraft along the hole.

The hangar makes the fire in the entire hangar more difficult to extinguish.

Although all dive bombers have completed bombing, the Bohemia has not escaped. The biggest crisis is about to come. More than 10 torpedo bombers began to drop bombs from both sides. Although due to the cover of Prince Eugen, the bombers dropped bombs from the left.

The angle of the torpedo plane was very bad and it did not hit directly, but the Bohemia was seriously damaged.

But it failed to avoid the torpedo attack on the right side. Three of the eight torpedoes hit the poor battleship. One of them hit the stern, blowing both rudders and the wheelhouse to pieces.

The torpedo hit the drive shaft, destroying one of the drive shafts and opening a large hole of more than 20 square meters in the lower part of the hull.

Although the third torpedo was inconspicuous, it was the most deadly. This torpedo directly hit the aviation fuel depot located at the bottom of the ship. Although the violent explosion did not directly destroy the fuel depot after being absorbed by the underwater defense system, it caused violent vibrations and impacts.

Still, a large number of cracks appeared in the oil depot, and the volatile aviation gasoline quickly flowed to the ship.

Spread in various cabins of the body. As long as there is a little open flame, such as an electric spark generated by friction, a big explosion is likely to occur. In the end, the USS Bohemia did indeed cause an explosion inside the entire battleship due to the fire of fuel vapor.

The fire was unstoppable and caused a large number of casualties and was eventually abandoned.

If the attack on the USS Bohemia went smoothly, then the attack on the USS Lord Loudoun aircraft carrier can be described as tangled. This is not to say how fierce the anti-aircraft firepower of the USS Loudoun aircraft carrier formation is, but

Because this aircraft carrier is too hard! 250kg armor-piercing and high-explosive bombs are very

What to do with the deck of this armored aircraft carrier! In addition to a bomb that hit the unprotected part of the front deck and blew up the sailors' cabin below the deck, the three 250kg bombs that hit the armored deck were all hit by heavy armored shells.

If it is opened, the best result is to make a dent in the deck.

The saying "Misfortune never comes singly" also applies to the Italians. Just when the dive bomber attack failed and they were counting on the torpedo planes to be able to replenish their guns, several German planes rushed out from behind the torpedo planes and aimed at the Italian torpedo planes that were preparing to drop mines.

The attack was launched, and the torpedo planes were unable to do so at a height of more than 100 meters from the sea.

Unable to dodge the attacks of these fighter jets, about 10 torpedo planes in the entire formation were knocked out in an instant, and the remaining 6 torpedo planes reluctantly dropped their torpedoes. 6 torpedoes streaked across the sea, far away from Loudon

The aircraft carrier was far away. After a round of indiscriminate bombing, the aircraft carrier did not suffer much damage.

Although the tactics planned by Tycho, Lin Yongsheng and Sumer were theoretically successful, in the face of the continuous support from the German naval aviation and land-based aviation, the Italian navy's attack could only go so far. However, just as the Italian sea-based aviation was preparing

When they were leaving manually, an injured twin-engine torpedo plane suddenly appeared on the left side of the USS Loudoun aircraft carrier. God knows how this plane escaped just now.

It was a hunter. This crew was very experienced. He chose the port side of the Loudoun aircraft carrier where the loss of anti-aircraft firepower was relatively large to launch the attack. The timing of entering the battlefield was also very good. At this time, there was almost no fighter protection around the Loudoun aircraft carrier. However,

The Austrians are not nervous, because it is difficult for a torpedo to hit, and even if it hits, the problem will not be big. This is a standard fleet aircraft carrier!

"He is going to hit us!" The Austrians finally saw something strange about the other party. When dropping mines, the height and speed of the aircraft were required, but this plane flew over from an altitude of 2,000 meters, and then leveled at an angle of almost 50 degrees.

Diving down at such a speed, this kind of dive with a torpedo at this angle has no chance of pulling up again! The huge inertia makes this

The plane had extremely terrifying destructive power. The panicked Orians turned quickly while concentrating anti-aircraft fire on the desperate attacker. Unlike what most people think, it is not very easy to hit a ship.

However, especially when the opponent still had intensive anti-aircraft firepower, the crew's operation was not successful in the end.

Boom! At a distance of 50 meters from the Loudoun, the aircraft was finally broken into pieces by dense anti-aircraft guns. However, the huge explosion gave the aircraft fragments a huge lethality. Under the original inertia, the aircraft's

Most of the wreckage still hit the gap between the hangar and the lower power cabin of the USS Loudoun aircraft carrier. The battleship's

The armor of the power cabin is not very thick, and the sides of the hangar have no protection except for thin steel plates. The strong impact opened a large hole of tens of square meters on the side of the battleship, and the raging flames began to spread everywhere. Although the power cabin

A large amount of debris was blocked by the protection of armor and anti-collapse layer, but some debris still destroyed some internal facilities.

"It seems that the Loudoun will stay in the dock for a few months." Redel said calmly, looking at the Loudoun that was burning in flames in the distance.
