Precision guided bombs should be able to be controlled. This control is on the radio system, and the radio system is at the tail of the bomb.

A 12.7 mm bullet, whistling, passed through the tail of the bomb.

Although the tail of an ordinary bomb also has a rudder, it is dead and cannot move. However, the rudder of the tail of the current fx2400 bomb can move. It is through these rudders that the flight trajectory of the bomb is controlled.

This kind of rudder surface is made of light aluminum alloy. After all, the rudder surface torsion needs to be controlled. This power comes from the rudder surface motor, and the power of the motor is limited after all. It is impossible to weld an iron plate like an ordinary fixed rudder surface.

Now, the 12.7mm machine gun bullet easily passed through the rudder surface. Under the huge impact, the whole rudder surface was directly taken away!

The loss of a rudder makes it difficult to control the bomb in an instant. At this time, it is the last stage of its attack!

The route is basically aligned. Even if it doesn't rely on the rudder surface, it may have hit. However, the lack of rudder surface makes it lose its aerodynamic stability. Therefore, in the surprised eyes of everyone, the bomb turned strangely.

The hood passed by a two-and-a-half-ton bomb. When the bomb almost wiped the side of the hood and fell into the nearby water, it splashed more than ten meters high!

"Boom!" A huge explosion came from under the water.

The USS hood, a 40000 ton warship, trembled involuntarily in the explosion.

The hull is still hurt! Even if it was an explosion in the water, the shock wave hurt the hood!

"Come on, damage control now!" Captain Colonel Cole, riding a bicycle from the shore, rushed here. It was the fastest means of transportation he could find.

Not everyone lived on the ship, Colonel Cole. He slept on the shore. He came in a hurry the first time the alarm sounded.

Rescue the hood!

At this time, the bombers behind continued to drop bombs, and the whole port was still in a mess.

"Damn the Germans, they even started a sneak attack on us without declaring war!"

"Buzz, buzz." The loud roar trembled under his crotch.

Czech stepped on his motorcycle. At this moment, his eyes were very firm.

The Naval Air Force's ground airport is two kilometers away from his residence, and now he must arrive at the first time!

On the port, his warship is suffering terrible bombing, and he must take off and attack!

German planes will never come so many. There must be more behind them. Maybe the next moment, the other party will throw bombs at the land airport!

Come on, come on!

The motorcycle sped on the field. In order to hurry, Jack didn't even take the original cement road, but went directly to a small road.

The performance of this BSA M20 motorcycle is quite different from that of German motorcycles. The reason why it was selected by the UK is that its production process is simple and convenient for maintenance. As for its use, it is really not optimistic.

Now, it is bumping on the field. Although the two big springs on his ass are constantly buffering, Jack's ass is still raised high.

Jack is still banging the accelerator. For him, time is the most precious.

Come on, be quick!

Generally speaking, the outside of the airport is blocked by iron wire, but now there is no threat. Therefore, the surrounding barbed wire has long been abandoned, and many places are disassembled. The officers and soldiers in the base also think it is troublesome to take the main road.

Jack's motorcycle, aiming at a gap, quickly penetrated. He continued to turn the accelerator and headed for the apron on one side of the runway.

Come on, come on!

When he came over, he saw three or five people running to the plane.

Because they are all resting, there are few pilots left in the base, and everyone is happy outside. Now, in such a short time, several people can run back, which is enough to show the loyalty of the Royal Navy airmen.

"Come on, come on, come on!" While riding a motorcycle, Jack shouted to his companions. When he came to the side of the plane, he threw his motorcycle aside and ran a few steps onto his plane.

From the current point of view, this is a completely outdated aircraft. Compared with the German aircraft, it is like a toy.

Lower single wing, all metal skin, high-power engine and closed cockpit are the measurement standards of advanced fighters in this era.

So, what about this swordfish attack machine? The old two wing structure, poor armament, open cockpit, only 225 kilometers per hour and 3260 meters of maximum lift limit make it look no different from the master aircraft in World War I.

As a shipborne attack aircraft officially completed in 1935, it is a whole era behind the 97 ship attack adopted by the Japanese Navy two years later.

In 1933, Fairley Airlines developed a three seat torpedo attack / observation / reconnaissance aircraft, which is called "tsr-i" with the initial of three words. The aircraft is developed according to the technical standards issued by the Ministry of aviation. The aircraft is a metal double wing structure with cloth skin and uses a 635 HP Bristol "Pegasus" IIM air-cooled star engine.

After a failure, this kind of aircraft finally took shape and won the favor of the British navy. It can be seen that the concept of the British navy, like their army, is quite backward.

In later generations, it was not until the emergence of sea fire that the British Navy finally recovered its disadvantage.

Of course, this is also consistent with the situation at that time. After all, the German Navy did not have a strong aircraft carrier formation at that time. The task of the British Navy aviation was to attack the German Naval Formation, not air combat. Although the performance of the swordfish was very backward, it was no problem to throw a torpedo.

The swordfish attack plane is a three seat attack plane, including the driver, observer, correspondent and rear seat gunner. Now, Jack has only one person. His observer and rear seat gunner don't know where they are.

There's no time. We have to take off at once!

Quickly pull the switches. The new 750 horsepower "Sagittarius" 30 engine in front sent out a roar. Black smoke spewed out from the exhaust pipe. Release the brake, and Jack quickly slid on the runway.

Behind him, there are four swordfish attack planes, which are also starting at one time. They are going to take off to meet the enemy!

Almost at the same time, there was a roar of engines in the southern sky of the base.

German bombers have arrived!
