As the distance approached, the British navy's fierce counterattack also began.
The Barham, once participated in the Battle of Jutland, is considered an old ship during World War I. Now, it fires at full speed. The four 381mm guns on the front of the ship's bow continuously emit black smoke and face the opposite side. Cannonballs are projected.
Although it is an old ship, it still has a strong combat effectiveness!
At the same time, all secondary guns were also firing.
At this time, the exchange of fire between the two sides was extremely fierce. Everyone knew that by destroying the other's flagship first, you could win the naval battle. Therefore, the three British battleships of 30,000 tons were all firing at the Bismarck. At the same time, The German battleships were also madly pouring shells towards the opposite side.
In the 30th minute of the exchange of fire, the Bismarck poured 216 406 mm shells at the opponent, but, as if luck ran out, there was no result.
"The gauge is adjusted forward by 50." On the Bismarck, Captain Claude continued to give instructions. Following his order, the naval guns began to fire again.
"Boom!" The 406mm shell continued to fly out. This time, in the sight, he saw the opponent's turret, billowing smoke, and it had hit the Barham!
Nice job!
"Boom!" Almost at the same time, there was a huge explosion on the Bismarck.
The turret of a secondary gun on one side was hit!
The 406 mm armor-piercing projectile directly pierced the turret of the twin-mounted 150 mm naval gun, and then an explosion occurred. During the explosion, the ammunition of the turret was destroyed.
Fortunately, the continuous shooting made the ammunition of this turret almost used up, and this time it was smashed without hurting bones.
The British navy on the opposite side was cheered.
The Barham got a shot, but it can still fight!
The gun that was just hit was launched by the USS Nelson. This warship is a battleship of the same level as the Rodney. It is equipped with three triple-mounted 406 mm guns, because all the guns are in front. , So now shooting is quite fun.
It has also fired more than 100 shells and finally hit the Bismarck on the opposite side. This made the gunner on the Nelson very excited. From the gun smoke-filled gun position, the gunner continued to give instructions. Now that it has hit, he will shoot. .
The Germans have a fast rate of fire, almost twice that of their own, but the firepower that the Germans can use now is not as great as their own.
Lookout Chloe, standing on the high observation tower, looked at the German navy formation on the opposite side. He also had a task to spot German submarines that might appear underwater in advance.
The Germans are too shameless. The naval guns are dignified and there are still submarines to attack. The Germans are really not gentlemen!
While he was looking around, he heard the roar in the distant sky. When he turned his telescope, he immediately shouted in surprise: "Attention, the German torpedo machine!"
Although the F190 took off later, they arrived early. At this time, in the distance, the torpedo plane turned into a low-altitude state and headed towards the German ship.
"Quick, air defense alert!" the captain shouted loudly.
At this time, for the British fleet, the most terrifying **** of death has arrived!
The German carrier-based aircraft flew very tricky. They flew from the direction where the fleet's air defense force was the weakest, completely dead-end.
For example, for the Nelson, there are 6 dual-purpose guns with 120 mm caliber, 8 guns with 76 mm caliber, and 6 guns with 47 mm caliber. It is said that the anti-aircraft firepower is definitely not small.
But now, 120 mm naval guns and 76 mm naval guns have insufficient depression angles. People came directly from the ultra-low altitude, while 47 mm naval guns can reach depression angles, but the distance is too far. By plane, they were at a loss as to what to do.
The F190 flew low, throwing the torpedo into the water in the most suitable posture, and then, amidst the fierce gunfire of the British fleet, it turned around and returned.
It's so domineering.
Six torpedoes, swimming towards the Nelson, have different directions and angles. No matter how maneuvered, it cannot avoid these torpedoes.
"Boom!" There was a violent explosion at the bottom of Nelson. This explosion spread to the entire hull and instantly made the sailors frightened.
"The No. 2 watertight tank has flooded."
"Quick, close the watertight compartment urgently."
"boom!"
"The left side is heavily flooded and the hull is tilted three degrees."
"Pump the heavy fuel on the right into the empty fuel tank on the left to balance the hull."
"boom!"
There was another explosion.
"Reported that the rudder failed, the tail propeller was deformed and the thrust slowed down."
"Damn it, release the smoke screen and quit the battle." The captain on the Nelson was extremely angry. His warship suffered three torpedoes. Fortunately, his ship can still sail.
However, he could no longer participate in the battle. The tail propeller and steering gear malfunctioned, and it lost its maneuverability. Now, he can only withdraw from the battle slowly and return to the port. After it is repaired, he can continue to participate in the battle.
Now, it only seeks to withdraw from the battle calmly like the Queen Elizabeth.
"Boom, boom!" At this moment, two more torpedoes came one after another, and an explosion occurred at the bottom of it.
These two explosions were absolutely fatal. The Nelson tilted to the left again. This time, it had no remedial measures to deal with it!
These two torpedoes were not thrown by planes, but submarines!
The captain of the Nelson was extremely shocked at this time, there were more than one German submarine underwater!
"Attention, there are submarines underwater!" He shouted loudly, reminding his warship to pay attention, but unfortunately, it was too late.
In later generations, how to fight an aircraft carrier is a big problem before them. Faced with this problem, they have been diligently researching and finally came to the conclusion that they must work together in many ways.
And now, the German Navy has also undergone repeated research on how to completely ruin the British fleet. This method is of course also multi-faceted!
Only the battleship at sea, the two sides' naval guns fired each other, this gentleman's style of play, has fallen behind.
Germany launched an armored blitzkrieg on the ground, the air force created an air-ground joint, and the navy combined multiple arms.
The battleships blasted each other, the carrier-based aircraft dropped torpedoes and bombs, and at the same time, the submarine force also came up. This tactic is called the wolf pack tactic!
Last night, after the news that the Deutsche Deutschland was being pursued, German submarines in almost the entire eastern Atlantic were rushing here.
And now, there are five German submarines rushing to the main battlefield of the German and British navies.
The U-47 submarine successfully attracted away the anti-submarine ship sent by the United Kingdom. The other submarines calmly set up an attack position. At this time, the carrier-based aircraft just arrived.
Air, surface, and underwater, encircle the British navy together!
