Chapter 399 Eyeing the Warspite

In the past, 7.92mm machine gun bullets sometimes passed by in a shuttle, hitting the opponent one by one small holes, but the opponent was still flying normally, which made the pilots extremely depressed. It was clearly hit, but could not be destroyed.

But now it is different. This is a 20mm shell. As long as it is hit, it will definitely blow up a big hole!

"Boom!" A 20mm artillery shell hit the opponent's tail. In the huge explosion, the tail of the swordfish attack plane fell off instantly.

Yes, it just fell off. The fuselage of the Swordfish attack aircraft is strong enough to mount torpedoes. However, the strength of the tail is not enough. After being hit by a 20mm shell, a large hole was torn in the tail, and the The skeleton of the force suffered damage, and then, it broke!

When Jack heard the sound of fire from behind, he immediately knew that the situation was not good. He habitually pushed the operating lever, trying to avoid the fire from the rear, but it was too late.

As the tail broke, his nose immediately went down and entered an uncontrollable spiral.

From his open cabin, Jack got out, used all his strength, climbed out of the cockpit, and jumped out.

The height is not high, he almost fell into the icy sea water as soon as the parachute opened, it was really cold.

The only British plane was shot down, and the FW190 air fighter, which arrived earlier, climbed to a high altitude, overlooking the entire battlefield.

At the back, the FW190 fighter with a torpedo mounted on it rushed to the battlefield.

Lieutenant Colonel Prila steered his plane smoothly. When he just took off, he almost had a flight accident. However, this little episode did not affect him at all. He remembered his mission, which was to throw torpedoes!

The heavy and medium bombers of the Air Force destroyed large warships, and they came up and spared everything.

If you want to use a torpedo, it is impossible to send a big guy of tens of thousands of tons into the sea. It is the right way to use a big bomb of one ton. Now, there are still many other warships in the port. , thousands of tons, or even hundreds of tons, are their targets. A single torpedo can send such a target to hell!

In view of the thoroughness of the previous bombing, after their group of planes came over, they no longer needed to attack according to the predetermined targets. The pilots made their own decisions and chose valuable targets to attack.

Originally, Lieutenant Colonel Prila's goal was to build a York-class heavy cruiser, which could not be taken care of by the Junker-88 bomber, and the existence of such a cruiser with a displacement of 10,000 tons. If such a target could be found, it would be The best.

However, when he rushed to the battlefield, he saw the warspite at a glance.

Warspite, a one-ton bomb dropped by Bescher's bombers, blew up the bridge and killed seven or eight of the officers aboard.

Although the officer was dead, the British navy sailors did not give up on saving the warship, they were quickly carrying out damage control.

If it was bombed to the ammunition depot and caused the explosion of the ammunition depot, the warship would be completely useless, and for now, it at least has hope.

Sergeant York took the water pipe and sprayed it towards the fire. He hoped that his water pipe could quickly extinguish the flames and avoid hurting the engine behind.

Behind the bridge is the chimney, and below the chimney, of course, is the boiler of the warship!

"Chi, chi!" At this moment, a small voice made Sergeant York's attention hard. He turned his head and looked at the pipe behind him with surprised eyes, and small steam was coming out.

No, high pressure pipeline leaks!

"Attention, step down immediately!" Sergeant York shouted loudly, and just as he finished speaking, a huge explosion appeared behind him.

"boom!"

To move the warship forward, of course, huge power is needed. This power is generated by high-pressure steam. The boiler must generate enough pressure, and the pressure in these pipelines is quite high.

Once the pipeline fails, it will lose pressure.

With the sound of the explosion, milky white steam filled the air, and in an instant, Sergeant York felt as if countless needles had been pricked on his back. He cried out in pain and fell to the ground.

The high-temperature and high-pressure steam fell on Sergeant York's body, and in an instant, Sergeant York was completely cooked.

Yes, it is fully cooked. At this time, if you poke it with chopsticks, the meat on Sergeant York will be able to poke through. This high temperature and high pressure steam can easily steam hundreds of steamed buns.

With this explosion, the speed of the Warspite suddenly slowed down.

Warspite, when it was just built, had 24 3-cylinder boilers. It was refitted in 1937 and used 6 boilers to drive 4 turbo-steam engines. The steam from these six boilers had just exploded. The main duct to the rear steam engine.

The explosion of the pipeline caused the steam engine behind to lose its power source in an instant.

Although the steam was leaking, there were more sailors who were not afraid of burns and rushed forward quickly. They wanted to repair the pipeline and restore the power again.

The personnel who lost control are saving the warship with their lives, while the gunners of the various antiaircraft artillery are still sticking to their posts.

On the gun positions of the bang bang guns, a dozen gunners nervously looked at the sky in the distance. The black-pressed medium bombers had just left, and another round of new planes came up.

These planes seem to be smaller in size, but they are even more powerful!

"It's a German carrier-based aircraft!" A lookout looked at the silhouette of the other party in the binoculars, and finally saw that it was a German carrier-based aircraft!

Moreover, there is a big guy hanging under the belly of those planes. You don't have to guess, you can know that it must be a torpedo!

"Attention, prepare to aim!"

The gunners of the bang bang guns, their hearts are racing, just now, they successfully wounded a bomber, and now they want to fight to knock down the other party.

The 40mm shells were placed in the ammunition boxes on both sides, and on the other side, a large number of empty shells that had just been fired stayed by the side.

The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder, and their hands were trembling.

The War Exhausted, actually kept it for myself! After Lieutenant Colonel Prila discovered the 30,000-ton warship, he immediately changed his original target and hit it!

On the bridge, there is still black smoke. This warship has been injured, and now, it is just sent to hell!

Pushing the operating lever, Lieutenant Colonel Prila's fighter plane lowered its height and rushed towards the Warspite.
