Chapter 1006 Where do these guys get the courage to challenge Charles?
The French fighter planes attacked just at the time when the British aircraft group landed.
Although their performance in all aspects crushed the British fighter planes, there was no need to engage in close combat with the British fighter planes at this time.
Because even if there is only a 1% chance of being shot down by an enemy plane, there is no 100% guarantee that the enemy plane will be killed.
They gave the British fighter planes a multiple-choice question with two options: failure or death.
The British aircraft only chased in the air for a while. When they realized that the French fighter planes were avoiding the battle and waiting for them to run out of fuel, their mentality collapsed instantly.
There is no point in chasing. If you are not fast enough, you will never catch up.
What’s more important is that the oil is running out, and if this continues we will surely die!
So, there is only one option: forced landing, which may still offer a glimmer of hope.
As a result, British fighter planes rushed to land.
An "SE5a" fighter jet lowered its altitude and approached the tail of the "Ragnarok" aircraft carrier.
Perhaps because it was surrounded by powerful enemies, or perhaps because of insufficient fuel, its speed exceeded 100 kilometers per hour when it landed.
(Note: During World War I, fighter planes were generally required to land at speeds no higher than 80 kilometers per hour. The optimal speed should be controlled at around 70 to 75 kilometers per hour. When the aircraft's speed dropped below 65 kilometers per hour, it was easy to stall, leaving little room for maneuver.)
The ground crew kept waving signal flags to remind the pilot not to land as the speed was too high, but the pilot was no longer concerned and continued to lower the altitude to land.
Perhaps for pilots, just feeling the vibration of the landing gear touching the ground can increase their sense of security.
But it is fatal.
The moment the landing gear touched the ground, it bounced back with a "bang" due to the large angle and speed, and the fighter instantly lost balance and rolled on the deck.
It was like a piece of junk being demolished on site. It hit the ground, sending up a pile of debris and then bounced back again, touching the ground again and breaking the right wing, but its momentum remained undiminished.
At the same time, fragments of the fuselage flew around like shrapnel, making the nearby ground crew scream and bleed.
Finally, the wreckage of the plane flew out from the bow of the aircraft carrier at a speed of dozens of kilometers per hour.
But that's not the end. When it fell into the sea, the high-speed aircraft carrier immediately ran over it. The sharp bow of the aircraft carrier even broke the fighter plane in half.
The situation on the "Hundred-eyed Giant" was even more tragic.
Two SE5a's scrambled to land on the deck, the pilots yelling to each other:
"I'm running out of gas, get out of the way!"
"Me too, let me land first!"
…
In the end, no one gave way.
Because they had no chance to land next time, avoiding would mean death.
So the two fighter planes collided a second before landing.
One of the planes hit the tail of the aircraft carrier at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour, and a loud bang exploded into a piece of debris.
Another plane lost its balance due to the shock wave and crashed into the island, causing another loud bang and catching fire.
Colonel Will quickly directed the ground crew to put out the fire and rescue people.
But he also knew that it would not work because the disaster had just begun.
really.
French planes discovered that the enemy planes were in a chaotic scramble to land, and immediately seized the opportunity to attack the two aircraft carriers.
Colonel Will looked up at the sky in confusion. He found that the enemy was not attacking with fighter jets, but with a type of aircraft he had never seen before.
It was also an aircraft with inverted gull-shaped wings, and it dived at a large angle towards the aircraft carrier with a huge noise.
Its sound was like the roar of a giant or the growl of a monster, even suppressing the air raid alarm.
"My God!" Colonel Will exclaimed, "Are they going to hit the aircraft carrier with planes? This is crazy!"
The scene really looked like an aircraft carrier being hit by a plane, at least that was what Colonel Will thought.
However, at the moment when the plane was about to hit the aircraft carrier, it suddenly changed its flight trajectory and flew over the aircraft carrier. The strong wind under the wings caused the British flag to swing irregularly and quickly, as if it was trembling in fear.
Almost simultaneously, a bomb was released from an airplane and hit the deck of the aircraft carrier.
"boom"
The "Rampage" swayed as if being pushed by a giant, and then black smoke billowed and a raging fire broke out.
Colonel Will then realized that it was not a "plane hitting an aircraft carrier" but a bomber "dropping bombs".
"It's a new type of bomber invented by Charles." Colonel Will was stunned.
It would be fine if it was just an ordinary bomber.
But it was a bomber that could dive vertically and drop bombs accurately to hit the target. It could hit the target on its first attack, and it hit the center of the deck.
The next second, Colonel Will realized that the French target was not only the British fighter planes, but the aircraft carrier, and they wanted to sink the aircraft carrier.
Colonel Will glanced around and saw the deck piled with fuel barrels and ammunition ready to be added to the fighter planes.
The placement volume is even five or six times the amount required for one attack.
The reason was that the ground crew believed that they should "prepare in advance" so that they could give the elevators to fighter jets in tense moments during wartime.
Colonel Will was so frightened that his face turned pale. He almost shouted the order: "Push the oil drums and ammunition into the sea, push them all into the sea!"
He ran while shouting, and when he reached the side of the ship, he quickly put down an oil barrel and pushed it into the sea with all his strength.
However, before he could knock over the second oil barrel, a heart-wrenching roar came from above his head.
“Wow…Wow!”
Colonel Will intuitively felt the pressure coming from above his head. The sound became louder and closer, and then a darkness flashed in the sunlight.
"boom!"
Colonel Will was thrown out by a strong wind and shock wave.
The explosions came one after another, and a fiery red heat wave rose from the deck of the aircraft carrier.
Colonel Will used all his strength to turn over, and what he saw was flames rushing towards him.
…
The French army only tested some small bombs.
The Jenny B bomber has two loadout modes:
One is to hang a 250 kg bomb on the belly of the aircraft, and four 50 kg bombs on the wings, with a total weight of 450 kg.
The second is to only hang a 500 kg bomb on the belly of the aircraft.
In sea-to-ship combat, "Jenny B" chooses the first option, not only because it is easier to take off, but also because it can increase the number of attacks.
At this time, the pilots saw that the 50-kilogram bombs could not penetrate the flight deck of the aircraft carrier, and immediately some bombers tried to use 250-kilogram bombs against the "Furious".
Perhaps due to the smoke, the first two missiles missed.
The third one hit successfully.
There was a loud "bang" and the "Rager" exploded from the middle, triggering a series of chain explosions. Soon the entire ship was surrounded by flames and turned into a fireball.
Carter, flying a fighter jet in the air, looked down with satisfaction at the two destroyed aircraft carriers below, with a mocking expression: "Where do these guys get the courage to challenge Charles?"
