Chapter 389

Stuka bombers cannot carry more than one ton of bombs, while Junkers-88 bombers can easily carry more than two tons of ammunition, and now, when attacking ships, they carry two sharp weapons. PC1000RS.

German bombs have many prefixes, generally SB, SC, SD, PC and so on.

Among them, SB is a large-charge bomb with a thin wall, and 75% of the interior of the bomb is explosive. Use instant fuze when attacking ground targets, and use different delay fuzes when hitting surface targets.

SC belongs to mine bombs and earthquake bombs. The wall of the bomb is thin, and only about 50% of the inside of the shell is explosive. The use of shock waves and vibrations generated by explosives to destroy enemy buildings does not emphasize its fragmentation effect.

SD is a fragmentation projectile and a multi-purpose projectile. The wall of the projectile is relatively thick, and only 30% of the projectile is explosive. Fragments are used to kill the enemy's active force and unarmored targets.

PC, on the other hand, is an anti-armor projectile with a fairly thick wall, high-quality steel material for the projectile, and a charge of 15 to 20 percent of the projectile's weight. Use high-quality steel fragments to destroy enemy heavily armored targets and permanent fortifications such as battleships.

As for the rear RS, it means rocket booster, and the rocket booster is installed on the extended tail part, which is only used during dive bombing.

As for the numbers in the suffix, it represents the weight of the bomb, and now the bomb, as the name suggests, weighs a ton.

This kind of bomb is specially used to attack thick concrete fortifications, or to attack battleships!

The one-ton bomb escaped from the cabin, and with a whistling, flew towards the Hood, which was close at hand.

The quadruple-mounted machine guns were firing frantically, first at the enemy plane, and then at the incoming bomb. Unfortunately, it was useless.

The bomb fell almost straight, and its way was aimed at the toughest turret!

For battleships, the armor protection is very thick. Take Hood as an example, the armor on the sides has to withstand the bombardment of the other party's artillery shells, which is quite thick. mm, 228 mm for the lower main belt and 102 to 152 mm elsewhere.

It can be seen that the protection of the most important sideboard and armor is heavy. After all, it is impossible for all of them to be so thick, otherwise the tonnage of the battleship will go up.

And compared to the broadside, the turret is definitely thicker.

The Hood has four double-mounted main turrets and 381 mm naval guns, and the turret is the thickest part of the entire warship.

For example, the front of the turret is 381mm, the side is 280 to 305mm, and the rear is 280mm.

This thickness is quite powerful. It can be said that even if a large iron block weighing one ton falls from the sky, it can withstand it.

But now, the PC1000 bomb is not an ordinary iron block weighing one ton!

Just when it was about 100 meters away from the turret, this bomb suddenly burst out with a hot flame at the tail, and the rocket booster started to work!

The rocket is burning, pushing the bomb, accelerating, accelerating!

Originally, the dive bomb had a very high speed, but now, with the booster at the tail, the speed is even faster!

When he saw the tail of the bomb was on fire, Jack was overjoyed at first, it was great, did he hit it himself?

Just like just now, my shooting caused the first bomb to deviate from the target, and now, the second bomb will definitely deviate from the target, maybe it will be blown up by myself!

It's better to explode in the air than to explode on a warship.

But later, Jack discovered that the situation was not good. The flame only came out from the tail, and the bomb started to accelerate!

No, this flame is something that people already have, it's a rocket booster!

Thinking of this, Jack's hands and feet were already cold. He watched helplessly as the huge bomb, driven by the rocket, had an intimate relationship with the top of the second double-mounted turret in front of the bridge with a violent momentum. touch.

The speed at this time is more than 280 meters per second!

Speed, of course, brings energy!

The violent PC-1000RS violently collided with the top of the turret, and the hard shell of the bomb was in a head-to-head contest with the turret.

The result, of course, is the bomb wins!

When it hit, the top of the turret was smashed abruptly, and the entire turret made a crisp and terrible crashing sound.

Then, I saw that the bomb continued to drill forward, successfully tearing off the armor on the top of the turret!

In any battleship design, the turret is the thickest, but that is the side, and the top of the turret, relatively speaking, is relatively thin, such as the current Hood, the top is not 100mm thick.

(I also found another statement saying that the sides are as thick as the top. Which one has the most reliable information? However, even if it is 300 mm thick, this one-ton special rocket-assisted bomb can be torn open .)

The armor of the Hood's deck was even only 38mm.

It can be said that attacking the top is definitely a good plan!

After all, in the era when battleships appeared, it was mainly to prevent the bombardment of each other's artillery shells, not bombs that fell from the sky.

In fact, according to statistical analysis, the turret is not the easiest position to be hit, but the armor protection of the turret is always the thickest. Why is this?

Of course, it is safety. After all, once the turret is hit, it will set off fireworks. Inside the turret, a large number of artillery shells are stored. These shells can hit the enemy or become their own terrible nightmare.

Like now!

The Hood is not yet in combat readiness. Like other warships, many artillery positions are not allocated with artillery shells, which makes them unable to respond quickly when they are suddenly attacked.

However, the main guns of any battleship will definitely not be short of ammunition.

The 381mm armor-piercing projectile weighs 800 kilograms. Such a heavy projectile is quite troublesome to handle. Therefore, under the turret, there is a complex automatic loading mechanism. At the same time, once the projectile is loaded on the warship, unless the warship After decommissioning, the shells of the main gun cannot be moved back.

Below the turret of the Hood is the ammunition for the main gun, in which the propellant is packed on top and the projectile fired is below.

When the top of the turret was drilled, the armor-piercing projectile seemed to have exhausted its last strength, and then the delay fuze exploded.

"Boom!" Hundreds of kilograms of explosives exploded violently.

In fact, when Bescher was diving, he aimed at the central bridge of the warship, but when he left, there was a slight deviation in the route. Of course, he knew that the opponent's turret was the thickest. Bridge is the best.

But now, this bomb, living up to expectations, ripped open the Hood's main battery turret, got inside, and exploded!
