After the bomber decisively pressed the bomb button, the whole plane seemed to be pulled back, which reduced the burden of 4oo kilograms. After that, the pilot’s driving was also much easier. At this time, the bomber stuck his head out of the cabin and saw the sea around the destroyer that was desperately turning left. The water was suddenly burst and the splash shook it. After counting the number of the splashes briefly, the bomber was a little disappointed and shrank his head back. The difference between the hit rate of medium-high bombing and low bombing was not small. Look, the bomb lost ground! After dropping the bomb, the bomber flew in the hovering area of the fighter plane and waited for other bombers to come back to form a formation.
On the sea, the situation of the Brazilian destroyer that has just been bombed is not optimistic. Wearing a vest at the bottom of the deck, especially in the cabin near the waterline, or simply shirtless sailors are soaking in seawater to rescue and plug the damaged bulkhead. A lot of seawater is pouring in.
Half an hour after the attack, the captain of the Brazilian destroyer Roncador announced that he had abandoned the ship. Many officers and men watched the 5-ton destroyer finally sink slowly to the bottom of the sea. Fortunately, it was the early summer in South America, and the officers and men wandering on the sea had to endure the cold and suffering. Although the sun was hot, the temperature of the battle was much higher than this.
"Torpedo volley!"
The pilot and squad leader of a swordfish torpedo machine led by a squad held up his right arm and made an out-of-body attack gesture around him. The other three torpedo machines all aimed their heads at the Argentine cruiser ahead.
Quietly, four 324 mm light torpedoes left their mother machine and fell behind perfectly. They plunged into deep-sea water for a long time before resurfacing. The plane’s ground navigation and its own motive power gave them nearly 40 knots, and a large number of bubbles formed a frightening white dead water mark behind them. Four torpedoes formed an attack more than 50 meters wide, and in the blink of an eye, they were seven or hundred yards away from the target.
"Left full rudder!"
"Full rudder left!"
In order to avoid the terrible torpedo attack, the officers and men of the Argentine cruiser held their breath and asked those torpedoes to have a game. Just after the other torpedoes landed, the captain reached a big turn order. On the 25th voyage, the cruiser was supported to draw a big mouth on the sea. The ship’s flag was still undulating in the sea, and the left side of the ship’s side was already wet by the sea. The auxiliary guns and machine guns were desperately moving towards the surface of the water. The attention of the ship was focused on the four torpedoes that came at the port.
But at this moment, another team, four torpedo planes, was quietly approaching the Argentine cruiser from the opposite direction. This was a tactic to attack the other side’s capital ship, but since the order was to attack these fast-moving, flexible-turning, frontal small cruisers and destroyers first, it was a good way to deal with a target.
Just as Argentine officers and men were about to escape the torpedo attack of the other side, they suddenly screamed from the starboard side.
"Torpedo! Torpedo on starboard side! Distance 6oo code! "
At 3: 35, after being hit by two torpedoes at the same time, the 626o-ton Argentine cruiser "Rocca" was able to salvage the sunken ship, and 55 officers and men were killed or injured. It was unfortunate and fortunate that the drowning person was rescued by a nearby American destroyer.
During the attack, most of the officers and men of the allied fleet felt that it was like a year. Even in those battleships that were not attacked, the atmosphere was extremely dignified. People were trying to help those shipwrecked partners and were depressed and sad about their own fate. The four central special observers of the American battleships "South Carolina" and "Michigan" and cruisers "Biloch West" and "Dayton" were recording the scene in front of them with their own pens and brains.
"The first Bode plane arrived at the battlefield around 3 o’clock and lasted for nearly 35 minutes. There were more than 100 bombs and torpedoes in the attack, which sank two cruisers and a destroyer. There was smoke everywhere in the battlefield, but it was estimated that there were fewer than 10 injured ships, especially the Brazilian cruiser’ San Lisi’ with a displacement of 72oo ootons. It ate the German plane and threw a torpedo, but no one knew when it would sink. As the second Bode plane flew to the battlefield to participate in the first wave of attacks, the German plane returned to their combat positions and was taken over by the latecomers. I think the fleet commander must keep calm at this time, and every decision he makes will probably decide the life and death of the fleet! "
"Bombs and torpedoes have made officers and men nervous. I saw that the gunners of the 59-inch gun, the 4-inch gun and the 24-inch gun were all desperately shooting into the middle, but few German planes were really shot down from the beginning to the end. The prestigious officers of the German HNA Force seemed to have lost their hands and feet. A Brazilian destroyer was almost alive when its own friendly ship collided with its main gun when it hit a friendly ship, but it seemed that no one cared so much."
"Emperor bless the Germans. The second wave of attacks finally ended. The guns around the fleet calmed down suddenly, but it made our ears and brains feel terrible. In the battle, another cruiser and a destroyer were sunk and some ships were seriously damaged. Fortunately, seven battleships in the fleet were all sick! According to previous estimates, if the Chilean Coalition fleet does not turn, then we will meet them in an hour! To maintain our existing strength in this hour, the naval battle will still be beneficial to us! But so far, we are puzzled by the strength shown by the German air force. Did they really defeat the mighty British navy? "
"Oh my god, the German fleet again! This is the third wave of attacks today. What do they want to do this time? Is it the same as the previous two attacks? Oh, no, I saw that more than a dozen planes were besieging the Brazilian battleship Grice, which was injured by a German submarine just when the war broke out. Is it still doomed this time? God, it’s shot. Oh, it’s another explosion. It must be caused by a torpedo. I think it’s dead. The German torpedo is very powerful! "
By about 4: 3o pm, the German naval air force had successfully completed the three-wave attack on the alliance fleet, sinking and injuring many cruisers and destroyers of the enemy fleet. At the same time, it only lost six planes, and three of them were still torpedoing the Brazilian battleship Grice. After the attack, Brazilians were surprised that Grice not only did not sink, but also continued to participate in the battle. Two German torpedoes drilled two holes on its starboard side, and the influx of dozens of tons of seawater made it slow down slightly. This class of battleship was afraid of damage.
At 4: 52, the fleets of both sides were able to see each other’s smoke and dust forming black clouds. In the south of the sky, there was a clear thunder. The calibrator assisted the Chilean allied fleet to shell the first landing shells at a distance of 30,000 yards. Although there were all o6 tons of shells weighing 360 mm, there is no doubt that these are two Fusang-class battleship shells. The Japanese navy finally got its first shot in this naval battle.
At this time, it is said that the largest naval gun equipped by the battleships of the United States, Brazil or Argentina is only a 3o5mm 5o-times diameter gun, and the longest range is less than 20,000 yards for the four German battleships. Nevertheless, the battleships of the Alliance Fleet still fired back in the direction where the shells flew, and of course, with one exception, they landed far away from the Allied Fleet.
At a distance of 250,000 yards, German and Chilean battleships also shelled for 6 times. Although the firing frequency of the previous waves of artillery shells was not high, one after another, they were closer to the target than the other. In the fourth round of volley, 305mm and 36omm heavy artillery shells landed in the middle of the two allied fleets. Unfortunately, an American destroyer became the first to sacrifice two 36omm near-lost shells and set off a huge wave. The destroyer was almost submerged by this big wave, and the powerful explosion made a big hole in its waterline hull. This destroyer fell behind two minutes later.
In the face of the enemy’s long-distance shelling, the alliance fleet’s shelling potential is still acceptable, but the hit rate is surprisingly low. After more than ten minutes of artillery war, one side of the alliance has gradually increased its losses, but the distance from the other side’s fleet has not continued to narrow. This shows that the other side’s fleet intends to consume its troops by long-distance shelling first.
Because the navigation is quite equal to that of Germany, Japan and Chile, the allied fleet of Germany, the United States and Afghanistan keeps a distance of 250,000 yards. At this distance, the Japanese and German battleships have the highest hit rate, among which the hit rate of the "Fusang" and the "Shancheng" keeps about 6% in the volley state of 12 45-diameter 360 mm guns, which means that on average, one of the two ships can hit the target with one volley. Although "Kai-2" and "King Albert" have 10 cannons with a diameter of 5o× 3o5mm, due to the limitation of turret arrangement, the volley hit rate of the cannon is close to 5%, and the average volley of four rounds can hit the target three times. The two Chilean battleships adopt the method of mixing German sailors with Chilean sailors, and the volley hit rate of the cannon with a diameter of 5o× 3o5mm is slightly lower than that of the German and Japanese fleets, but the volley of ten rounds can also hit the other side five or six times.
In this case, although the number of alliance fleets is dominant, this advantage is gradually lost in the fierce fire suppression of the other side, and this situation is reversed in one fell swoop. The commander of the fleet has ordered the fastest cruisers and destroyers to rush to the other side to fight for torpedoes and physically disturb the shelling of the other side.
Tu Mei Chapter seventy Giant cannon
"Hit again! Oh long live! "
Major General Dai Bingwei, the captain of the Japanese task force battleship Fusang, shouted with joy that this was the 25th volley of two Japanese warships, in which 31 shells in 16 rounds fell within meters of the other warship or hit directly, and the most direct result was to hit the Argentine battleship "Rivadavia" hard. According to the report of the German reconnaissance plane, the 20,000-ton giant ship built by Sihe Shipyard in new york, USA, has now left the battle sequence of the alliance fleet and was escorted out of the battlefield by two destroyers.
The excitement of the acting major general is in stark contrast to the sight of Lieutenant General Gong Bogong at his side. His own artillery shells were shot out in the deafening roar, and the other artillery shells fell heavily on the distant sea. All this failed to change the prince’s calm expression, but before he learned that two German aircraft carrier fleets had sunk and injured several light ships, he was still talking and laughing with the aides of the acting major general, but now he was completely silent.
Dai Major General didn’t bet on anything at all, but everyone knew that Prince Fujimiya was in a very depressed mood. The fact that the Japanese navy sent supporters of aircraft carriers was a great blow to him.
"Major general cabinet congratulations! When the battle is over, I will definitely ask the Emperor to honor you! " V see palace tone calm say
Dai is very modest. He said with his legs together, "It’s all a credit to the Prince’s Palace. I dare not take credit alone!"
Fujimiya added, "The future of the Imperial Navy is full of confidence if you have people with excellent artillery skills!"
"I’m flattered! The Emperor of Great Britain, the prosperity of the SHEN WOO Empire and the country’s first-class shipbuilding and gun-making technology can help us attack the enemy here! Therefore, it is the Emperor’s Palace and the Regent’s Palace! "
V see palace nodded slightly "major general pavilion is too humble! As far as I know, the officers and men of the cabinet ship practiced artillery day and night to make our army’s volley hit rate so high! "
Generation of major general no longer dodge "on the other hand, the German aircraft carrier in the Prince’s Palace is really big, which has made me wait for an eye today! Previously, I knew that there were balloons and planes to be calibrated in the sixth battle, but I didn’t know that it was so good to calibrate the plane in the naval battle! Now that I think about it, I am really ignorant. After returning to China, the frog at the bottom of the well will definitely discuss the construction of additional naval air forces to the navy, or the battleship team will give good reconnaissance artillery instructions! "
"That’s the case, but today’s events always make me feel a little strange, but I can’t tell the difference! I always feel that the power of the aircraft carrier does not stop there! " The last sentence shows that Gong Bo Gong Yin has dropped a lot, which is almost audible to him and his generation.
Generation of major general smiled, in his view, this is just to see the palace and find the steps. Since the prince wants to meet him, he will also give in to accommodate him. "The Prince’s Palace is absolutely right! In my humble opinion, countries have strengthened their fire prevention. As far as we know, most American warships have added 5-inch and 3-inch anti-aircraft guns. Perhaps it is their fierce artillery fire that makes it difficult for German aircraft to attack German pilots in close combat overseas. The bombing effect is naturally greatly reduced! Compared with cruisers and destroyers, the fire resistance is much weaker, which makes it the best choice for German pilots! "
V see palace carefully thinking for a moment clap your hands, "major general cabinet is really words wake the dreamer! It must be that the Germans cherish their fighters and pilots, so they are not like Pascal Flo’s desperate battle at sea. At this time, the alliance fleet is not the British fleet, so the German fleet has not achieved satisfactory bombing results! "
"Now it’s just a rough idea to go to the Prince’s Hall, but it has become a classic theoretical writing hall. It’s admirable to have a talent in the navy!"
Generation duly compliment before falling down to see the Prince of the Palace. Besides, the ship rang with a low volume but very emotional bell. It was the ten-second shooting alarm of the main gun. Because the power of 12 360 mm naval guns was too great when volley, not only the deck bridge near the front, middle and rear gun positions was not allowed, but also the control tower had to be closed to prevent the strong shock wave from damaging personnel and equipment.
Ten seconds later, the 30,000-ton hull of the battleship shook again with the earth-shattering noise. Of course, this shaking lasted for a moment. Twelve shells weighing 625 kilograms still had to fly in the air for nearly 25 seconds. After that, whether they hit the target or not would have to be reported by German warplanes hovering in the enemy fleet through the wire, and then the German battleship informed other ships through the semaphore. This process took about 2 to 3 minutes, which means that the report they got was a volley.
In a slightly boring waiting process, Prince Fukumiya thinks about the future of Japanese aircraft carrier battleships, the future of this battle, the era of the main ship, and the future. This weapon will never replace the battleship to become the protagonist of naval battles. Perhaps it is just a miracle that Germany created in Pascal Flo, which is not applicable to every naval battle.
There are so many thoughts about Fukien Gongbo Gong Prince, not only because of his vice admiral identity and interest in aircraft carriers, but also because Fukien Gongzhen loves Prince Gong Zhen. The succession crisis of royal families has been a long-standing problem, and only Fukien’s family is prosperous in the second place. After the third fall, I saw Gong Zhen’s love and gave Bo Gong the adoption to another branch of the family-Huading Gong Jia Fu Jian Gong Bo Gong soon became the heir of Huading Gong Gong Gong. However, things often fall. When Gong Zhen ‘ai was nearly two years old, he died. Seeing Gong Bangfang was sickly, which made Fu Jian Gong Bo Gong return to see Gong Gong Gong in 19o4 and became two co-heirs, with little influence in the Japanese royal family. On the other hand, in the naval competition on the 6th, the most influential royal family fell in love with Gong Gong Gong and Yuan Gong Gong Gong, but their teams were different. Courting the palace navy, however, fell in love with the palace backer, Gong Bogong and his father, both of whom were hard-line naval factions, and they all had a lot to say about the exhibition plan, budget, etc. If they wanted to fall in love with the palace navy, they would not go in two directions one day, and the emperor would not interfere in it himself.
