1825 My New Daming

Chapter 131 I'm going to bomb!

Chapter 131 I'm going to bomb! (Crazy for a wave of subscriptions!)
"Raise the gun, aim and release!"

"clap clap"

With Charlie Elliot's order, hundreds of new bass rifles fired at the same time, hundreds of bullets flew into the air, and then... oh, no more.The New Bass Rifle is just an ordinary rifle used by infantry, not a special anti-aircraft rifle for airships-this kind of rifles for airships will be developed in the near future, but not yet.So the bullets fired by the new bass can't reach the airship flying at an altitude of 1200 meters.

Looking at the airships lined up in a line, they still flew towards him slowly, unharmed.Charlie Elliot was almost overwhelmed by despair. These damned airships have not launched any attack on the Indomitable until now. They just circled slowly in the sky, flew to the back of the Indomitable, and pulled Forming a line, flying at a speed of about twenty knots, slowly, slowly approaching the Indomitable.

This is like asking Guan Tianpei to tie up Charlie Elliot and put him on a slow-speed guillotine, face up, and let him watch the sharp guillotine fall slowly with his own eyes, but he can't do anything. Oh , He can also order the sailors on the battleship Indomitable to line up and shoot with rifles and airships in the sky.

Of course, the rifle couldn't stop the airship, and the Indomitable was only at fifteen or sixteen knots, and it couldn't get rid of the pursuit of the airship flying at twenty knots.After a while, Guan Tianpei's airship flew slowly over the Indomitable and accelerated desperately. The Indomitable, which was trying to escape the pursuit of the airship, has now reached the highest speed of [-] knots, but this speed cannot be sustained.This is the speed that can only be maintained for a short time after using full power forced ventilation.If you keep this speed all the time, maybe you will "fry the pot"!
But George Elliot can't control that much, he only wants to maintain a high speed now - the higher the speed, the less likely it is to be hit by the bomb dropped by the airship in the sky.Oh, George Elliot didn't know how to use the S-shaped route to avoid bombs, he only knew that the faster the better.But no matter how fast he is, he can't beat the airship in the sky!But the Unyielding is the Unyielding, it is not so easy to admit defeat, and Guan Tianpei and Ma Xuchen are not in a hurry to catch up, but they are not only running slowly behind the Unyielding.I don't know how long I ran "up and down", but suddenly I saw the Indomitable on the sea shake violently, and then the 1-ton ship slowed down suddenly as if it had been deflated.

"Haha, it's really fried!" Guan Tianpei in the sky seemed to have expected this scene a long time ago, stroked his beard and laughed, "Okay, now we can calmly fry it!"

Ma Xuchen also said in surprise, "Admiral, just watch!"

As he spoke, the airship began to slow down under Ma Xuchen's personal control.Ma Xuchen first disconnected the transmission system between the two engines and the propellers, and the remaining two propellers also maintained a very low speed, but the speed of the airship was still faster than that of the Indomitable. Gone over the head.

At this moment, the bombardier's voice sounded: "Stop!"

Ma Xuchen's hands were already on the two red wrenches. Hearing the sound of the bombardier, he pulled the wrench hard. The two propellers of the airship that were still spinning suddenly lost power, and soon stopped spinning completely.

The airship that has lost its power can only move forward slowly by inertia and wind. Today, the wind over the Jiyi Waterway is not strong, and the wind direction is also very stable. The airship is flying slowly and steadily in the sky. The battleship Indomitable on board naturally caught up again, and saw its bow pass under the airship.

Bombardier No. [-] squinted his left eye and looked down through the bombsight with only his right eye. When the bow of the Indomitable appeared in the eyepiece of the sight, Bombardier No. [-] pulled down the bombsight. He opened the hand brake, and shouted in a Henan accent: "Zhong!"

When the word "中" was yelled, the airship's magazine was suddenly opened, and 16 bombs were thrown out with a roar. At this moment, the airship suddenly lightened and jumped upwards.

Meanwhile, all the people on the airship were craning their necks and looking down through the windows or something, holding their breath—to see if those bombs would hit?
That's 16 100kg armor-piercing projectiles!

The deck of the Indomitable can't resist at all, as long as one hits, the Indomitable will become the "Screaming"!
On the Indomitable, every officer and soldier of the Royal Navy who knew they were being bombed also held their breath and silently recited "Heavenly Father Bless" in their hearts, and Charlie Elliot was no exception. All he saw was his neck raised up, his eyes dead. Staring at the fast falling black spots, he murmured: "God bless you, Amen"

Just when the "door" of Amen was just exiting, those "black spots" really touched the starboard side of the Indomitable and landed on the sea under the blessing of the heavenly father.

"It's okay." Charlie Elliot breathed a sigh of relief, and his whole body was enveloped in fear. He quickly grabbed a red-haired Scot next to him to block him, and at the same time threw himself on the deck.

"boom boom"

Before Charlie Elliot's body touched the deck, the earth-shaking explosion, the sea water stirred up by the bomb's explosion in the water, and the fragments of the bomb swept towards the starboard deck of the Indomitable!
Although the 16 bombs did not hit directly, they landed very close to the starboard side of the Indomitable.The picric acid bomb is very sensitive, and a violent collision with sea water will also detonate the bomb.

And the shrapnel from the 16 near-miss bombs swept across the deck of the Indomitable like raindrops, sweeping down all the British sailors on the deck who were holding up their rifles and trying to kill the airship—this was a real deckwashing!
Because Charlie Elliot reacted half a step faster, he dragged a Scot to block the bullet for himself, and half of his life was recovered!That's because the Scot blocked Charlie Elliot's upper body but not his lower body, he just ignored his head.As a result, a fragment of the bomb hit Charlie Elliot's big pouting buttocks with no bias.Although Elliot's buttocks are quite thick, he can't stand such a wide opening!The two halves of the buttocks were cut into four, and he screamed in pain.

However, he is a veteran of the Napoleonic Wars, and he has not given up on himself in pain at this time, and he can crawl through the pile of dead people and get behind the cover of a 6-inch gun while screaming.There are a few artillerymen hiding behind the hood of this 6-inch gun. Seeing their butts blooming, the chief of staff hurried up to hold him down, then gagged his mouth, took off his pants, and began to bandage his "four" Flap ass".
Just when Charlie Elliot was temporarily saved, the second airship had already flown to the Indomitable and started dropping bombs.

This time it was still the same method of bombing. First, fly to the front of the Indomitable and take a "quick boat", and then when the "head" of the Indomitable appeared in the eyepiece of the bombardier, 16 100kg bombs roared down.

"God bless, God bless"

Inside the command tower, George Elliot is doing his best to help the Indomitable dodge bombs—the way he works is to pray!Yes, just pray!He doesn't know the S-shaped evasion route now, and he doesn't have anti-aircraft guns that can hit airships. He can release smoke, but after the smoke is released, the "air defense platoon gun" can't be fired.

So all George Elliot could do was sincerely pray.

But he is not the only one who can pray. The airship bomber who threw bombs in the sky and Guan Tianpei also muttered.

"Wu Zhongwang bless! Zhuge Kongming bless! Old ancestor Guan Erye bless"

Look, it's King Wu Zhong again, Zhuge Liang again, Er Ye Guan again and his surname is Guan again!The above few are also embarrassed not to bless!
So the second round of bombs went down with a dozen or so near misses. This time it was the port side of the Indomitable. A total of 11 shrapnel from 100 kg bombs swept across the port side of the Indomitable. Anti-aircraft platoon gunners" were all swept away.

Nine out of ten of the platoon gunners on both sides were dead, and those who were still alive were also scared. They all found places to hide, and the anti-aircraft firepower of the Indomitable was suddenly dumb.

"boom boom"

When the spray and smoke from another wave of near-miss bombs dissipated, Lieutenant Colonel Ma Xuchen, the captain of the First Airship Battalion who was watching the battle in the air, had already discovered that the battleship below was "dumb", so he immediately ordered: "Hurry up and generate electricity! Order boats No. 25 to No. 800 to lower their altitude to [-] meters!"

"Yes, sir!"

1200 meters is a little higher, and it is normal for bombs to miss.After lowering by 400 meters, there are only 800 meters left, and the accuracy of bombing will naturally increase.

Sure enough, one of the 16 bombs dropped by airship No. [-] just hit the stern deck of the Indomitable!
The 100kg bomb penetrated the deck on the spot and exploded in the sailor cabin below the deck. Burning picric acid flew randomly in the cabin piled up with many inflammable materials, causing a fire in an instant.

Although this bombing did not cause much damage to the Indomitable, it greatly encouraged the Daming Naval Air Force in the sky.

"Boats NO.12 to 25 descend another 400 meters!"

Ma Xuchen, who found that the anti-aircraft firepower of the Indomitable must have been dumb, gave the order to lower the altitude again.

Before No. 12 to No. 25 boats descended to the designated height, the bomb dropped by No. 11 boat hit Indomitable again.This time it was the lifeboat deck of the Indomitable that was bombed. Because of the cover of a lifeboat, the bomb did not penetrate the deck, but exploded on the lifeboat deck, and ignited all the lifeboats, causing a fire again.

The fires in the sailor cabin and the deck of the lifeboat were actually not serious, but because a large number of crew members had been killed by near-miss bombs due to the genius tactic of "queuing up to shoot the airship", there was no way to carry out effective damage control, and the fire was very serious. The more it burns, the more prosperous it is.

Just when the Indomitable was about to be "cooked", the bomb dropped by the No. 400 boat, which had descended to a height of 12 meters, hit the Indomitable again. This time, one of the two obliquely connected turrets was bombed.

This turret also has no cover, but even if it is, it cannot withstand the direct hit of a 100 kg armor-piercing bomb!The bomb fell directly into the turret, and there was a big explosion inside, blowing up two 16-inch cannons at once.However, because the two cannons did not fire, all the shells were hidden in the ammunition depot under the turret, so they were not martyred, and the Indomitable escaped for the time being.

But the disaster of Indomitable has only just begun!There are still thirteen airships that have not dropped bombs, and they can descend again!

When the airship descended to a height of 200 meters, or even 100 meters, everyone knew that the Indomitable was finished.

Although the main armor belt and power system of the Indomitable are still intact, and the conning tower is still very strong, but because the loss of the crew is too great, there is not enough manpower to put out the fire, so the entire Indomitable is almost burnt down.

George Elliot was still standing in the command tower of the Indomitable, watching the fires around him getting hotter and hotter, he had the idea of ​​simply being buried in the flames.

At this time, his good brother Charlie Elliot had been carried into the conning tower by the gunners who saved his life. Seeing that he hadn't abandoned the ship, he shouted loudly: "George, it's time to give up and be unyielding." number!"

"Abandon the Indomitable?" George Elliot trembled, and looked back at his cousin lying on a stretcher, "Charlie, this is a battleship! We've already..."

His words did not go on. I really can't bear it!

The future of the Revenge is uncertain, and the Indomitable is about to give up again. There is still a ship in the south that is burning. It is probably a cruiser of the Royal Navy that has suffered a fiasco!
"George," Charlie Elliot said anxiously when he saw his cousin's appearance, "the Royal Navy still needs us. Although we have been defeated, we already know how to fight future naval battles? The Royal Navy of the British Empire has already fallen behind. We must catch up, otherwise the world will belong to Ming Dynasty. Now someone must tell London this fact!

Someone must tell the Prime Minister and the Lord of the Admiralty that our battleships are no match for the enemy's airships, that England is behind, and that England must rise up!England must have the most powerful airship force in the world! "

As soon as his words fell, a staff officer in the command tower shouted: "The enemy's reinforcements have arrived with two cruisers and two destroyers!"

"George, give the order to abandon the ship!" Charlie Elliot said, "Da Ming's cruisers and destroyers have torpedoes on them!"

Hearing the torpedo, George Elliot trembled.

The Indomitable had already been paralyzed by the bombing, and was completely unable to withstand the torpedoes launched by Da Ming's cruisers and destroyers. As long as a few torpedoes hit the Indomitable below the waterline, the Indomitable would be finished.

"boom boom"

At this time, several more bombs hit the Indomitable, and the Indomitable trembled again, and it looked like it was about to "bow"!

Soon someone screamed, "Brigadier General, the No. [-] main turret has been blown up."

George Elliot's eyes went dark—the two turrets are gone, what a fart!
"Abandon, abandon ship." George Elliot leaned weakly on a railing, "Quick, abandon ship!"
