Chapter 1961： Above the Strait II

An officer tried to reorganize his subordinates. He drew out his pistol and drove the soldiers back to the artillery position. However, a 12.7mm bullet stopped his efforts. A huge wound almost cut him in the waist, with charred internal organs and reddish red. The blood was sprayed on the British sailors not far away, feeling the vomiting smell of blood. Watching the blood flow into a river, it was already like the deck of Shura Hell. The spirits of these recruits finally collapsed. They shouted for their lives. Even chose to jump off the boat!

"It's really a shame to the Royal Navy." Looking at the British sailors who had almost escaped in an instant, a German pilot said contemptuously. The planes dived continuously, suppressing the British with intense firepower. The anti-aircraft firepower of the United States, so that when the German bombers entered a distance of 1 km, they did not receive much counterattack. The non-intensive shells fell on the sea and shot out a water column, while the huge bomber calmly passed through the water column, and used the last time to aim the nose at the target! And the first to enter the battlefield is a group of K6 bombers carrying heavy-duty aviation torpedoes!

"The target is 600 meters apart! The speed is 10 knots! Launch!" The heavy torpedo detached from the pylon. When the water entered the water, the propeller at the tail of the torpedo quickly turned, and the exhaust gas produced by the thermally powered torpedo was pulled out behind the torpedo. A white exhaust belt! With the cooperation of the gyroscope and the steering gear, the torpedo quickly restored its balance and rushed to the British battleship in the distance at a speed of more than 30 knots!

600 meters are almost at a distance where you can smear your face with a machine gun, and the target is still a slow battleship that can only move on a 2-dimensional plane! Then the result is determined! When the bomber flew over the Dignity after being pulled up, the torpedo weighing 180kg had already had a close contact with Dignity’s fragile underwater protection system! Imagine that the ultra-fearless old-fashioned mines that exploded in history only amounted to more than 100 kilograms of cotton gunpowder. And this time, dynamite is enough to deal with the queen!

The moment when the tip of the thunderhead touched the hull plate, it detonated the high explosive in the thunderhead. In an instant, the energy generated by the explosion of more than 180 kilograms of explosives crazily squeezed the surrounding sea water, and the water could not be compressed. The high temperature and high pressure bubbles produced by the explosion quickly released their energy to the surrounding through the sea water, and the steel plate in front of me It became the best target. The hull plate with a thickness of 12mm was finished in less than 0.1 second. The shock wave generated by the explosion first tore a long scar, and then squeezed it in hundreds of tons of sea water. The entire steel plate was instantly shattered by the impact, and a large hole measuring 10 meters square meters appeared at a depth of 2 meters underwater!

Subsequently, a large amount of seawater swept the entire cabin with the remaining energy of the explosion, and the compartments were smashed into pieces. However, the British horizontally connected compartments had no effect under such a blow. The place used as the door became the entire structure. The weakness, and the impact is concentrated here! When the aftermath of the explosion finally calmed down, the power cabin in the center of the hull had been punctured, and thousands of tons of seawater poured into the boiler cabin. Hundreds of British sailors who had not had time to evacuate were submerged in the seawater along with their boiler. . The overheated boiler exploded in contact with the ice-cold sea water, and a stream of high-temperature and high-pressure steam broke through the constraints of the pipeline and spurted out. The fate of this record has been decided, and it will never be able to return to the British mainland!

"Dodge now!" The other battleships disbanded their formations automatically, and the three-expansion steam engines ran wildly, trying to make these battleships escape from under the wings of the Luftwaffe. However, the old power system makes these slow-moving guys like snails. After the formation was disbanded, the few remaining air firepower was unable to effectively deal with the Luftwaffe's sneak attack. The remaining bombers were divided into several teams and easily caught up to the target, and then dropped a bomb and a torpedo. British battleship!

Noble was the second to be hit, but it was the first to sink into the sea! Two powerful torpedoes almost hit the same position on the poor battleship. The successive violent explosions directly exploded the warship into two parts. The second half of the stern sank to the bottom of the sea in less than half a minute, and the bow was raised high, and then slowly plunged into the sea. The powerful 12-inch artillery pointed at the sky, telling of his unwillingness!

The Prince George and the Victory also followed closely. Under the attack of at least 10 K6 torpedoes, facing torpedoes fired from the left and right sides at the same time, the two battleships were finally hit when they retreated. . Among them, Victory’s ammunition depot was directly hit, and then a huge flame skyrocketed over the sea. Hundreds of tons of steel and sea water were thrown into the air. A smoke column of hundreds of meters high remained in the place where the battleship sank for a long time. Scattered. The Prince George walked relatively quietly. Although it was hit with 3 torpedoes, this time the Germans used 500KG-class torpedoes with less power and the location was not very good, so the battleship was sinking slowly. There was still a chance to evacuate some personnel . At this time, the Germans did not use bombs or machine guns to kill these survivors who were about to leave. A bomber squadron from the navy in the elephant fleet set the target at On the three cruisers behind. In their view, the significance of attacking these cruisers is greater! "Let the guys in the air force attack the unarmed guys. The first thing we naval aviation must consider is the main fleet facing the British." Major Norman, the captain of the Seagull Squadron, said to the opponent.

At this time, before the former Dreadnought battleship was easily slaughtered by the German bombers, the three British armored cruisers were prepared to evade. Under the current circumstances, the navy’s air defense has actually collapsed. In the eyes of most people, it is a better choice to slaughter those transport ships that are slower and hardly defended. If the three armored cruisers are low-key, they should go back alive. no problem. For most people, this logic makes sense, but unfortunately, this time, they ran into the German land-based air force who wanted to train with cruisers!

The three armored cruisers, the Drake, the Cape of Good Hope, and the Crecy, have left the transport fleet at this time. They are fleeing frantically towards the British mainland at the highest speed. Although they are also outdated old ships, they have an average service life. Armored cruisers less than 10 years old can still deliver speeds of more than 20 knots, which is not inferior to the non-fast battleships in the British fleet, and their goals are more agile and flexible. This is for the Seagull Squadron who participated in actual combat for the first time. It really is a difficult target!

The second one is more~~~! Please subscribe for a reward~~~! !
