Chapter 538： Ship bombardment aircraft carrier

"Attention, the target is the German Navy. It is ten nautical miles behind my port side. Hurry, take off the torpedo at once!"

As the opponent keeps getting closer, finally, the outline of the opponent can be clearly seen. This alarm was not discovered by the lookout, but General Labaud. When the sea breeze dissipated the thick smoke that enveloped the opponent’s warship, He immediately recognized the opponent's warship, which was a German Deutsche Class!

Although I don't know which one it is, the three triple-mounted 283 mm naval guns above can never be wrong. It is a terrible thing. The German ship has actually approached its own distance of ten nautical miles!

General Labold was extremely nervous, and at the same time, he also issued this order.

Take off the torpedo plane!

Originally, the reconnaissance plane on the deck could take off immediately, but now there is no need for it. Your own reconnaissance plane is quite backward. It is enough to undertake a reconnaissance mission, and it is simply not capable of launching an attack on the other party. It is absolutely suicidal in nature!

At this time, only torpedoes can pose a threat to the opponent, and they must race against time!

Although the Bayern still has eight 155mm naval guns, they are useless at all. This type of naval gun is just a bully on a normal frigate. The German Deutsche-class battleship has already stepped into the ranks of battleships. Inside, the 155mm naval gun has no lethality even if it hits.

Must take off the fighter plane, race against time!

The engine of the reconnaissance plane stopped rotating, and after that, the pilot found in horror that the deck below his plane had actually swelled, and he was still on it!

"Damn it! Hurry up and remove the brake flap." He shouted loudly.

Here is the take-off position of his reconnaissance plane, and at the same time, the position of the lift in the hangar below!

At this time, in the central hangar, with the sharp alarm sounded, the crew in the hangar immediately became busy.

Use the elevator to lift the fighter up quickly!

At the same time, a crew member below turned on the hydraulic cylinder of the top support rod. With the action of the hydraulic oil in the hydraulic cylinder, the top deck began to slowly turn to both sides to make enough space for the elevator. .

At sea, the salt content is very high, which will have a corrosive effect on the fighters. Even if the current fighters are relatively old and not delicate, they will strike because of the salt. Therefore, the fighters are usually placed in the aircraft carrier’s hangar. Yes, it will only be promoted when needed.

Moreover, the maintenance and maintenance of the aircraft are also completed in the hangar.

In the basic structure of an aircraft carrier, the lower layer is the hangar and the upper layer is the deck. If you want to transport the aircraft, you must have a lift.

In this era, the elevators of all aircraft carriers are arranged on the centerline of the flight deck and are called "inboard elevators." This is also the most conventional way of thinking. After all, it is to ascend from the inside of the cabin, of course from the center.

This kind of elevator is not affected by wind and waves; but it not only affects the strength of the flight deck, but also affects the take-off and landing of the aircraft, resulting in slow progress in flight operations on deck.

Historically, the United States first adopted the "side lift" on the "Essex" completed in 1942, shifting the lift to one side, which eliminated the above shortcomings. However, there are disadvantages of being vulnerable to wind and waves.

But now, it has been preempted by Germany. On the German Zeppelin-class aircraft carrier, the side lift is used.

British people who are good at thinking will surely discover the benefits of this elevator soon, but the British have no time, including the angled flight deck. Before the British can figure it out, there will be no more in Britain.

In short, the current deck efficiency is very slow, and at the same time, there have been accidents.

The hydraulic lever below has pushed the top deck up, but there is still an airplane on the deck! As long as you turn upwards more than ten degrees, this reconnaissance plane will have to follow it!

The pilot above was shocked, he is still on it! If turned over, he will definitely be miserable.

The shouting finally awakened the people below, and quickly stopped the movement of the hydraulic lever. The people above hurriedly said that the double-wing reconnaissance plane would be removed.

At this time, the people below are still busy. Several of them are pushing a two-wing Levasser pl2 carrier-based torpedo on the floor of the elevator. Several people are pushing the trolley. A torpedo, at this time, they have not completed the task of mounting the torpedo.

On the French aircraft carrier, there was a panic. France is a romantic country. If it is more detailed, it is sloppy and sloppy, women sloppy, and men sloppy.

The usual training is messed up, and the country does not want to fight anyway, but now, once the war really comes, they immediately panic.

It was here to make various preparations in a hurry. In the process of constant errors, the German warships were quickly catching up!

The Bayern drove at full power in black smoke, but it was not to escape, but to provide speed for the take-off of the carrier aircraft.

The take-off of a carrier-based aircraft needs to reach a certain speed. In this way, if the aircraft has an initial velocity relative to the air before take-off, it can greatly reduce the take-off pressure of the carrier-based aircraft.

Therefore, almost all aircraft carriers need to use full horsepower before taking off and carry out carrier-based aircraft take-off and landing operations against the wind, even in the era of propeller aircraft.

But now, the movement of the Bayan is too slow.

Even if it wants to escape, it can't escape! At this time, it has not accelerated to its maximum speed of 20 knots, and the German ship has already sprinted to 28 knots!

Relying on the high speed, the Deutsche HMS swiftly chased up, and the aircraft carrier was getting closer and closer!

General Labold in the bridge, holding his binoculars, watching the Germans' three triple-mounted naval guns, slowly turned around and aimed at the aircraft carrier here.

"Quick, full rudder right!" he continued to shout.

Since he can't get rid of it, he can only do maneuvers. With many years of maritime experience, Labaud knows that the opponent is going to sail to his port side position and exert all the firepower of the opponent's naval gun.

In this case, if you have a full rudder on your own, you can make the Germans' pre-calculated shooting yuan all invalid! Delay the opponent's attack and prepare for the takeoff of one's own carrier aircraft.

It was so urgent at this time that he bypassed Captain Gerardi and gave orders to the warship.

Unfortunately, he is not an aircraft carrier commander after all.

Following his command, the helmsman quickly operated the steering gear and killed the rudder. Then, the huge hull of the ship tilted over while accelerating.

"No!" the reconnaissance pilot yelled desperately on the deck. Mobile users please browse and read for a better reading experience.
