Chapter 86

The naval commander Erich Raedl, the new general Carl von Dönitz and others were all on the bridge, and even Colonel Gunther Lütjens was on the warship, but there was no place for him on the bridge. , he stood in a position on the deck, his eyes fixed on the sky.

The visibility on this day is not very good, the clouds above are a little thick, and now, almost all conditions are favorable for the aircraft!

Colonel Lütjens remembered his last trip to the East. He admired Cyric from the bottom of his heart. Therefore, in the navy, Colonel Lütjens also gradually changed his mind and believed that the advantages of fighter jets over warships, will get bigger and bigger!

In the distant sky, there was a rumbling sound, and from the clouds, several biplanes drilled out!

He51 is an aircraft specially launched by Henschel for the Luftwaffe! Unfortunately, the technology of this aircraft is still lagging behind, and the biplane is facing elimination!

The BMW6 water-cooled engine in front of the nose kept roaring, and the propeller in front was turning rapidly. After drilling out of the clouds, in the open cockpit, the pilots quickly found the target visually.

"Attention, attack immediately!" The 20-year-old Werner Mulders, the leader of the formation, shouted.

In the later World War II, there were countless German aces, and the top ones were all super trump cards that shot down more than 300 aircraft.

However, Werner is still the most famous in the Luftwaffe, because he was the first to accumulate 100 combat results, and he is also the ace pilot of Germany!

Out of propaganda needs, after shooting down one hundred aircraft, he was hidden in the snow and was forbidden to continue to launch operations. not much.

At this time, born in 1913, he is now the youngest period, his face is thin, at this time, with the pilot's scarf wiping the lenses on the goggles, he pushes the nose.

The humming sound became dull, and as it dived downward, the he51 biplane made bursts of roars.

Dive attack!

After many studies, Werner has long been quite clear about the anti-aircraft firepower of the Deutschland, 3 88mm anti-aircraft guns, 8 37mm anti-aircraft guns, these anti-aircraft guns seem to defend the Deutschland like an iron barrel, but, In the firepower network of the antiaircraft artillery, there are gaps!

From the top, dive straight down to avoid the fire!

However, for this biplane, it is very dangerous to dive directly. If the speed of this wooden structure is too fast, it will easily disintegrate in the air!

As a German Air Force pilot, he is not afraid of anything!

Five fighters, aiming at the front of the Deutsches!

The most effective 88mm anti-aircraft guns are arranged on both sides of the stern and in the middle. Due to the blocking of the bridge and the mast, the front firing field cannot be taken care of at all, so it can effectively provide anti-aircraft artillery cover in the front. Yes, only 37mm anti-aircraft guns!

"Attention, find the target!" At this moment, the commander holding the telescope at each gun position shouted loudly, the reticle in the telescope, the biplanes were quite clear.

"Direction 0-3-6, two mils to the right, altitude 75, shoot!"

shooting!

Following the commander's order, the gunner stepped on the trigger.

"Boom! Boom!" Two cannons rang out, and two anti-aircraft artillery shells from the coach's warhead flew up.

Yes, only two!

Because, this 37mm anti-aircraft gun uses a hand-pulled machine!

What's the meaning? It's a one-shot reload!

At this time, there was a loader standing next to him. A nursery bag was slung around the neck of the loader, and the shells were placed in it. After this shell was fired, the second shot was urgently loaded!

The hand speed is fast enough, and even the indicators given by the anti-aircraft artillery design unit can reach 80 rounds per minute, but in fact, it is absolutely genius to be able to shoot 8 shells in one minute!

This is the sad reminder of the German carrier-based anti-aircraft artillery! A mobile phone that has been criticized by countless people in later generations! One shot loading! Thought it was a sniper rifle? Other anti-aircraft artillery, at least five rounds of clips! If you want to hit a target in the air, you must shoot multiple times in a row!

Needless to say, the current Deutschland, and even the later Besmarck, all use the same hand-pull!

At the beginning, after the completion of the construction of the Basemarck, it set sail in a mighty way, and killed the Hood in the first battle. As a result, the old-fashioned double-wing "Swordfish" type torpedo aircraft on the "Ark Royal" aircraft carrier hit the steering gear, This caused inconvenience in the course operation, and was finally "beaten to death" by the British home fleet.

There is no need to sigh about the fate of Bismarck, simply think about it, and you will know the performance of the 37mm anti-aircraft guns used by Germany! The biplane can't even come down!

And now, in the face of the He51 jumping out from the top of the head, more than a dozen anti-aircraft guns fired together. It seemed that the scene was spectacular enough. The flames spewed from the muzzle, making people feel majestic. Can knock down the plane!

However, the tracer anti-aircraft shells flew by, still far from the He51!

The three 88mm anti-aircraft guns at the back only fired two or three shells before they stopped firing, which has exceeded their firing range!

And the several 37mm anti-aircraft guns in front were still firing slowly, one shot, another shot, before the opponent's attack came, they fired an astonishing five shells!

Five shots!

If it is a Bofors 40mm gun, the maximum rate of fire is 150 rounds per minute, and the actual rate of fire is about 110 rounds per minute. The firepower density is strong enough, and the current hand-held machine can hit the target in the sky. It's a super burst of character!

Moreover, now the warship is constantly shaking, which makes it even more difficult to aim and shoot! Every anti-aircraft artilleryman is shooting at full strength at this time, but no matter how hard they try, it is useless!

Werner felt the whistling cold wind. At this time, his plane had already flown over the opponent's firepower network. On the sea, the outline of the big ship was so clear!

bomb!

Werner pressed the button, and the two bombs hanging on the belly of the fuselage fell down!

After dropping the bomb, Werner slowly pulled the lever, and now the speed has reached 500 kilometers per hour! The maximum level flight speed of this aircraft is only 330 kilometers per hour! At the current speed, if the overload is slightly increased, the aircraft may disintegrate!

And now, his altitude is already very low, he is pulling up and flipping at the same time, he can almost see that his wings are about to touch the sea, and then he resumes level flight!

Just now, if you slow down, you will be in close contact with the sea, and the machine will be destroyed! It's really exciting!

Following him, the second He51, also dropped the bomb!
