Chapter 123: The Disillusionment of Hope(2/2)
When a large area of light appeared in the sky, the Ming army began to withdraw from the battlefield.
Netanyahu boarded the King David, and the Israeli fleet was already scarred.
The flagship King Solomon was sunk, along with eight destroyers and two cruisers.
On the Ming side, apart from a few damaged warships, only one cruiser, the Guangzhou, was sunk!
In this naval battle, the Ming Dynasty still won the victory without the help of naval aviation.
It's dawn!
The sun showed its head from the sea level, and the god of death also showed its head at the same time.
A huge "buzz" and "buzz" sound appeared in the sky, and the sound came from far to near.
Many black spots appeared on the horizon, and Netanyahu knew that the final moment had arrived.
The dive torpedo bomber roared and lowered its altitude, and with a ghostly scream, it dropped torpedoes one after another.
"Hey...! The hegemony of the Hebrew nation will be delayed for another few hundred years."
Netanyahu looked sadly at his fleet, which burst into orange flames one after another in the morning light.
Screams, wails, explosions, and cries filled the entire sea.
Faced with the bombing of the Ming Dynasty naval aviation, the Israeli fleet seemed powerless.
When the Ming Dynasty sold these warships to them, they did not install anti-aircraft guns at all, and they did not even leave any space to install anti-aircraft guns.
The helpless Israeli warships could only install some anti-aircraft machine guns to make up for the lack of anti-aircraft firepower.
But how could machine gun fire do anything to those fighter planes that were scurrying about like crazy?
Even if one or two hits occasionally, it will not cause fatal damage.
The torpedo bombers were like falcons in the sky, swooping down from time to time to drop deadly torpedoes.
The torpedoes used by naval aviation are not the same as those on battleships.
Because it was a one-time delivery, the amount of explosives increased by another 200 kilograms.
Once a heavy-duty torpedo with a charge of 800 kilograms hits, even a rough-skinned and thick-skinned battleship will have to drink a pot.
"Slow down the speed! Slow down the speed!" On the bridge of the Youzhou, Chen Siping shouted to slow down the speed.
The naval aviation bombed the area arbitrarily, and the entire main fleet was 30 kilometers away.
The only person closest to the battlefield is yourself.
Grandma, you should make a fortune yourself, what a great opportunity to miss.
"Captain, didn't you say that the faster you run, the better? What?" The stupid first mate came over again.
"Why did I let you, an idiot, become the first mate? Did your head get squeezed through the door?
I didn’t see that the Israeli fleet was about to be destroyed. We were the only ones closest to the battlefield.
After the naval aviation bombing is finished, let's go over and pick up the prisoners!
Pig brain!" Chen Siping rolled his eyes at the first mate angrily.
Through the telescope, you can see many lifeboats floating on the sea.
In front of the huge fleet, the Youzhou is nothing.
Any cruiser can send them to the bottom of the sea.
In front of the lifeboats, the Youzhou was a giant. The sailors who fell into the water had no ability to resist at all.
A plane passed over Youzhou at low altitude and saw the Ming Dynasty flag with black characters on a red background, so it did not drop a bomb.
The pilot was also puzzled as to why there was still a battleship of his own lingering near the battlefield.
After the torpedo bombers finished one wave of bombings, before they could fly away, a second batch of planes came to bomb again.
The air firepower was too weak, and the Ming army pilots directly regarded the Israeli warships as targets and the combat operations as target practice.
The poor Israeli warships could only keep moving to avoid torpedo attacks.
The Ming army also learned the lesson, and seven or eight torpedo attack aircraft aimed at a battleship.
Seven or eight heavy torpedoes are dropped at once. It can be said that there are no blind spots in all directions. As long as your warship cannot fly, it will definitely hit two or even more torpedoes.
The battleship King David took three torpedoes in just ten minutes.
A sturdy battleship, with huge tonnage, and excellent pipe damage. The King David is still limping forward, moving its huge hull!
A large amount of seawater poured into the cabin, and the speed of the King David had been reduced to less than 20 knots.
On the battlefield, such a target is simply too conspicuous.
It is simply a torpedo machine attractor!
One formation after another, torpedo planes flew over and dropped bombs on the King David like a target.
The King David, which was already traveling at a very slow speed, could not avoid the intensive torpedo attacks no matter how skilled it was.
Within fifteen minutes, two more torpedoes were hit on the port side, and three torpedoes were hit on the starboard side.
No matter how sturdy the battleship is, it cannot withstand such torment.
Amidst the explosions one after another, the hull of the King David tilted severely. The most severely damaged rear deck was covered with seawater.
"Commander, please leave in the lifeboat. The King David is hopeless." The adjutant looked sadly at Netanyahu, who had suddenly aged ten years.
"Go away, you are still young. You can still do something for the Hebrew nation!
I am a sinner, so let me bear the responsibility."
Netanyahu sat on the chair and watched the sailors jump directly from the deck into the water in desperation.
Although the sun came out, the temperature of the sea water did not rise.
At this temperature, jumping into the sea is no different from committing suicide.
"Commander, the fault is not yours, let's go! Israel still needs you!"
The adjutant glanced outside and saw that the officers had already fired shots to maintain order.
The number of seats in the lifeboats is rapidly decreasing, and sailors are rushing to the deck from each cabin of the battleship.
At this time, the sailors at the bottom were hopeless.
"You go, the defeated naval officer will sink to the bottom of the sea together with the battleship.
This is an old rule that I must follow.
If you can live, leave Israel.
You can go anywhere in the world, there is no hope for Sevastopol, there is no hope for Israel.”
The adjutant turned his head and saw that there were only a few places left in the lifeboat.
Not caring about listening to Netanya's nonsense anymore, he rushed out with a quick stride and jumped directly into the lifeboat.
At least there is still a place where I won't fall into the cold water.
There was a ghostly howl in the sky again, and two rows of bullets shot out a flaming whip.
The long whip whipped the sea hard and also whipped the lifeboats on the sea.
As for the people on the lifeboat, they were beaten to pieces.
The rising sun is like blood, and the sea water at this time has been dyed red with blood.
The Ming Dynasty's aircraft strafed unscrupulously. Many pilots even strafed close to the sea surface in order to demonstrate their skills.
They attacked lifeboat after lifeboat, trying to drive the people on board into the sea.
