"Sudden Sudden Sudden ......"

The officers and men of the USS Fury reacted quickly, and when the German dive bombers arrived, all 22 cannons – six twin 4-inch high-level guns and 10 2-pounder single anti-aircraft guns – were firing wildly. However, such firepower is still too weak!

If it were in the North Sea or the Atlantic, the Fury would never be left alone as it is now, and it would have at least one "air defense escort ship" (a destroyer with a relatively large tonnage, strong anti-aircraft firepower, and sometimes an anti-aircraft search radar) and an ordinary destroyer to protect it. If the entire fleet is dispatched together, there will be dense escorts of cruisers and destroyers.

But today, it has only one transport ship of more than 10,000 tons by its side, and the nearest destroyer is almost 10,000 meters away.

What's worse is that the main engine of the "Fury" has not yet been started - the "Fury" uses a heavy oil boiler, which needs to be heated to a flowing state before starting, and the turbine cannot immediately enter the high-speed state after the boiler starts, and it will take 15 minutes to slowly accelerate, and the whole process will take up to 30 minutes......

"Haha, this is a dead target that won't move!" Captain Val T. Heisenberg, laughing loudly, maneuvered the plane to hover and ascend to an altitude of 4,000 meters and entered the dive position.

"Let's start rushing now!" He roared, then lowered the nose of the plane, aimed the landing point scale of the dive sight at the "Fury" on the sea, and then opened the speed brake and began to lunge downwards at a dive angle of 45 degrees -- the Ju.88 was not the Ju.87 after all, it was just a medium bomber that "could dive and bomb," not a dive bomber in the true sense of the word. Although it is theoretically possible to perform a high-angle dive, that will cause some damage to the fuselage. For Captain Val T. Heisenberg, who still has to fly 900 kilometers to return to the base, it is better to take it easy......

“3600…… 3400…… 3200......" Captain Val T. Heisenberg's navigator shouted the altitude, and when he shouted the number 700 meters, Captain Val T. Heisenberg only heard the bombardier, Corporal Fulba, an honorary Aryan, shouting: "Release!" ”

Then the plane seemed to become a lot lighter all of a sudden, and the whole thing flew up slightly. Captain Heisenberg knew that 2 SC-500 bombs had already been dropped. He hurriedly pulled the joystick with all his strength, raised the nose of the plane, and the plane began to climb rapidly among the sparse artillery.

"Boom!"

A loud bang was heard, and the bombardier Vrba shouted: "Hit! Hit! Hit a ......"

"Wow!" Everyone in the cabin was cheering. An SC-500 bombshell is no joke. If you don't have an armored deck of 6 or 70mm, you can't resist it at all.

Just as everyone was cheering, another loud bang came!

Another SC-500 bombshell hit the poor, thin aviation deck of the Fury. All the people on this Ju.88 medium bomber knew:

This aircraft carrier is going to be finished!

History is going to be rewritten from now on!

……

"Oh God! My God! They hit the Fury, and the old Fury is coming to an end, it doesn't have an armored deck......"

British Admiral Winston in the Officers' Lounge of the USS Nelson. Churchill saw two huge fireballs rise from the Fury, and his whole body was going crazy.

Although it is already old, this is an aircraft carrier of more than 20,000 tons after all! And it also has a speed of up to 30 knots, which allows it to maneuver with the Grand Fleet.

"God, they're coming,......" said Sir Pound, who was also looking out of the porthole, but he didn't see the Fury, nor did he care about the old carrier. Because he saw five twin-engine He-115 torpedo bombers forming a horizontal formation, slowly flying towards his side at an altitude of less than 20 meters above the sea.

Such a battleship as "Nelson...... Theoretically, it is not afraid of dive bombers - just theory - because its horizontal defense capability is relatively strong, and it is impossible to be blown up by a bomb of the level of PC-500. Therefore, in the eyes of the officers and men of the British Royal Navy, torpedoes are the most dangerous enemy.

Although the "Nelson" also has 38mm anti-mine armor, it also has a mine-resistant compartment, and it also has quite good anti-sinking performance. However, if a few holes were made in the bottom of the "Nelson", the ship would have to be docked for several months......

"Sudden Sudden Sudden ......"

All the anti-aircraft guns and high-level dual-purpose guns of the "Nelson" that could fire outboard to the port side were all fired at one time, and they desperately threw ammunition at the five He-115s that "did not want to die".

"Boom! Rumble! ”

Almost with two loud bangs, two He-115s were smashed into fireballs. In the naval and air battles of the Second World War, the most dangerous work was undoubtedly the crew of a torpedo bomber. One can imagine how dangerous an airplane, at a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour and at an altitude of about 20 meters, charged at a battleship with dozens of anti-aircraft guns.

"God forbid! God forbid! God bless ......"

Pilot of the 12th Torpedo Bomber Squadron of the German Naval Aviation, Hans. Sergeant Brandt pinched the joystick, suppressed the fear in his heart, and aimed the nose of the plane at the huge battleship "Nelson" like a mountain, and prayed incessantly.

He did not now know that his squadron leader, Lieutenant Wilt, had a plane and another He-115 that had been shot down.

"Put!" Hans. Brandt suddenly heard the bombardier's shout, and then he felt the plane jerk upwards for several meters.

Run away! Hans. Brandt didn't even have time to pray to God for that torpedo to hit, and there was only one word in his head - escape!

Almost at the same time as he dropped the torpedo, the other two surviving He-115s also threw their torpedoes in a panic, regardless of whether they were aimed at it or not......

And the F5 torpedo they dropped was not a good mine, it was not very powerful, it was slow, and the range was short. It can only fight at a distance of 2,000 meters, the speed is only 33 knots, it can hold 200 kilograms of Hexanite explosives (this is an explosive developed and supplied to the German Navy during World War I, and the power is equivalent to 80% of that of TNT), and it can only be dropped at ultra-low altitudes, which is not a particularly ideal weapon.

"Boom!" With a muffled sound, the hull of the battleship "Nelson" shook again, and Churchill did not stand firmly, and fell to the ground with a poof, and his head was bleeding from not knowing where it was touched.

"Hit?" Winston. Churchill ignored the sharp pain in his head, and did not rush to get up, but sat on the floor and asked.

"Hit," said Sir Pound, who was calm, "but the Nelson is very sturdy and will not be a problem." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another loud bang on the sea, and a huge fireball rose up, as if a volcano under the sea was erupting.

"This is ......," said Churchill, who got up very neatly, ran to the porthole and looked out.

There's one more floating torch on the sea!

"It's the 'Brave'......" Sir Pound gritted his teeth, "it was hit by a German dive bomber!" ”

Ju.88 bombs the aircraft carrier that can't move, that's a bomb and a quasi! Moreover, the bomb load of the Ju.88 was large, and two SC-500s could be dropped at a time, and a formation of 5 aircraft could drop 10 bombs of 500 kg. For an old-fashioned aircraft carrier without an armored deck, even one of them will be crippled.

"The attack effect of the torpedo machine is very poor," Lieutenant General Graeme, who was watching the battle at an altitude of 5000 meters, put down his binoculars and furrowed his brows tightly, "the horizontal bombardment of the He-111 was also useless, only the Ju.88 blew up well." Those two aircraft carriers burned like that, even if they could be repaired, it would take a year. ”

More than two aircraft carriers were set ablaze by the Ju.88 on the sea, and a heavy cruiser was also hit by two SC-500s, one turret was missing, and the deck was full of fire. Another destroyer was blown up by the SC-500 - it was not visible on the surface of the sea, it should have sunk.

And now less than 40% of Ju.88 threw out the bomb and flagged away, and the remaining 60% are still looking for a target.

"General," said the combat staff officer of the Naval Air Corps, Franz. Speer said, "It seems that the aircraft carrier defense of the British is too weak to adapt to the current naval warfare." ”

"At least not to be bombed!" As Lieutenant General Graham said this, a huge column of water rose over the sea.

"Looks like a battleship!" Franz. Major Speer held up his binoculars and looked out into the sea below. "It's ...... This ship is so big, at least 30,000 tons! But the anti-aircraft fire seems to be weak, oh, another shot! It seems that the torpedo attack aircraft is also about to make a contribution. ”

The He-115 was being beaten by the Iron Duke-class battleship - not a serious battleship, but a training ship. This old battleship, which was built in 1912, had neither anti-aircraft fire nor a mine-resistant compartment. In the face of torpedo attack aircraft and F5 torpedoes of the 30s, naturally there was nothing to fight back. In just a few minutes, 6 F5 torpedoes were hit, and they began to tilt at a large angle, and it seemed that they would not be floating for long.

And just when the "Iron Duke" was about to sink, there was an old "revenge" class battleship "Royal Oak" on the sea, which also became the target of He-115 torpedo machines. At the same time, another 4 He-115 formations of 5 aircraft completed the attack on the "Nelson" and its sister ship "Rodney" (this ship was not detected by German spies), lost 6 aircraft, fired 14 torpedoes, hit 3 rounds. But the two battleships remained unmoved. (To be continued.) )
