Chapter 489 Air, Water, Underwater, Together

As the distance approached, the British Navy's violent counterattack also began.

The Barham, once participated in the Battle of Jutland, is an old ship during the First World War. Now, it is firing at full speed. The four 381 mm naval guns at the front of the ship's bow continue to emit black smoke, facing the opposite side. Projecting cannonballs.

Although it is already an old ship, it still has strong combat effectiveness!

At the same time, all the secondary guns were also firing.

At this time, the exchange of fire between the two sides was extremely fierce. Everyone knew that the victory of the naval battle could be won by destroying the other's flagship first. Therefore, the three British 30,000-ton battleships were all firing at the Bismarck, and at the same time, The German battleships were also frantically pouring shells on the opposite side.

In the 30th minute of the exchange of fire, the Bismarck poured 216 406mm shells on the opponent, but, as if luck had run out, there was no result.

"The rear sight is adjusted forward by 50." On the Bismarck, the Claude artillery commander continued to give instructions. Following his order, the naval guns started another salvo.

"Boom!" The 406mm artillery shell continued to fly out. This time, in the sight, he saw the opponent's turret, billowing thick smoke, and hit the Barham!

Nice job!

"Boom!" Almost at the same time, a huge explosion sounded suddenly on the Bismarck.

The turret of a secondary gun on one side was hit!

The 406mm armor-piercing projectile directly pierced the turret of the double-mounted 150mm naval gun, and then an explosion occurred. During the explosion, the ammunition of this turret exploded.

Fortunately, the continuous shooting made the ammunition of this turret run out. This time, the explosion did not hurt the bones.

The British navy on the opposite side was cheering.

The Barham took a shot, but could still fight!

The gun that just hit was fired by USS Nelson. This warship, a warship of the same class as USS Rodney, was equipped with three triple-mounted 406mm guns. Since all the guns were in the front , So, it's quite fun to shoot now.

It has also fired more than 100 shells and finally hit the Bismarck on the opposite side, which made the gunner on the Nelson extremely excited. On the gun emplacement full of gunpowder smoke, the gunner continued to issue orders. Since it has been hit, then continue to shoot .

The rate of fire of the Germans is very fast, almost twice that of their own, but the firepower that the Germans can use now is not as large as that of their own.

Lookout Chloe, standing on a high watchtower, looked at the German naval formation on the opposite side. At the same time, he also had a task to detect German submarines that might appear underwater in advance.

The Germans are too shameless. The dignified naval guns are bombarding, but there are submarines to attack. The Germans are really not gentlemen!

As he looked out, he heard a roar in the distant sky, and when he turned his telescope, he suddenly shouted in surprise: "Attention, German torpedo!"

Although the FW190 took off later, they flew in ahead of time. At this time, in the distance, the torpedo plane turned into a low-altitude state and went towards the German ship.

"Quick, air defense siren!" the captain shouted loudly.

At this time, for the British fleet, the most terrifying god of death has arrived!

The German carrier planes flew very tricky, they came from the weakest direction of the fleet's air defenses, completely dead-end areas.

For example, for the Nelson, there are 6 120mm caliber high-level dual-purpose guns, 8 76mm caliber guns, and 6 47mm caliber guns. It is said that the anti-air firepower is definitely not small.

But now, 120mm naval guns and 76mm naval guns do not have enough depression angles. They come directly from ultra-low altitudes, while the 47mm naval guns can reach the depression angle, but the distance is too far. Airplanes, they were at a loss.

Flying low, the FW190 dropped the torpedo into the water in the most suitable position, and then, under the heavy fire of the British fleet, turned back.

Just so arrogant.

Six torpedoes swam towards the Nelson, with different directions and angles. No matter how much it maneuvered, it couldn't dodge all of these torpedoes.

"Boom!" At the bottom of Nelson, a violent explosion occurred. This explosion spread to the entire hull, and instantly made the sailors tremble.

"Watertight tank No. 2 is flooded."

"Quick, close the watertight tank urgently."

"boom!"

"The left side was heavily flooded and the hull was tilted three degrees."

"Pump the heavy fuel oil on the right side into the empty fuel tank on the left side to balance the hull."

"boom!"

Another explosion.

"Reported that the rudder failed, the tail propeller was deformed, and the thrust was slowed down."

"Damn, release the smoke screen and withdraw from the battle." The captain on the Nelson was extremely angry. His warship suffered three torpedoes in succession. Fortunately, his ship can still sail now.

However, he can no longer participate in the battle. The tail propeller and steering gear are faulty, and it has lost its maneuverability. Now, he can only slowly withdraw from the battle, return to the port, and repair it before he can continue to participate in the battle.

Now, it only asks that, like the Queen Elizabeth, it can withdraw from the battle calmly.

"Boom, boom!" At this moment, two more torpedoes came one after another, and at the bottom of it, an explosion occurred.

The two explosions were absolutely fatal, and the Nelson tilted to the left again, this time, it had no remedies to deal with!

These two torpedoes were not thrown by planes, but by submarines!

The captain of the USS Nelson was extremely shocked at this time. There were more than one German submarine underwater!

"Attention, there are submarines underwater!" he shouted loudly, reminding his own warships to pay attention, but unfortunately, it was too late.

In later generations, how to fight an aircraft carrier will be a big problem for the PLA. Faced with this problem, they are carrying out tireless research, and the final conclusion is that they need to work together in many ways.

And now, the German Navy has also undergone repeated research on how to completely destroy the British fleet. Of course, this method is also multi-faceted!

Only the battle of the battleships at sea, the two sides of the naval guns fired each other, this gentleman's general style of play, has been outdated.

Germany has created an armored blitzkrieg on the ground, the Air Force has created an air-ground combination, and the Navy has combined multiple arms.

The battleships collided, the carrier aircraft threw torpedoes and bombs, and at the same time, the submarine force also came up. This tactic is called the wolf pack tactic!

Last night, after the news that the Deutschland was being pursued came out, almost all the German submarines in the eastern Atlantic were rushing here.

And now, there are five German submarines on the main battlefield of the battle between the German and British navies.

The submarine U-47 successfully attracted the anti-submarine ships sent by the United Kingdom. The other submarines calmly set up their attack positions. At this time, the carrier-based aircraft just arrived.

Air, surface, underwater, encircle and destroy the British Navy together!
