Transmigrated as the Crown Prince
Chapter 222 Naval Battle (5)
The anti-aircraft guns of the British fleet were sprayed into the sky as if they were free. Well, it really doesn't cost money. The British sailors can't wait to burn out these crappy cannonballs as soon as possible so that they can replace them with new cannons. But I don’t know how long it will take for the inventory of more than 100 million rounds to be consumed. Even if one million rounds are fired every day, it will take more than three months to complete.
The swooping Stuka began to let out a shrill howl. The aiming sight on the driver's dashboard was aligned with the Warspite in the center of the British fleet, aiming at an anti-aircraft battery near the bow that was firing continuously.
A fist-sized tracer bullet grazed the Stuka's wing and flew into the sky, and the Stuka launched a counterattack without showing any signs of weakness.
"Thud! Thud!" The 20mm caliber cannon on the Stuka's wing fired violently. The tracer bullets flew towards their target with light, shooting out a cloud of sparks and smoke near the anti-aircraft turret. As the ballistic trajectory corrected, The anti-aircraft battery was beaten to pieces, and the British sailors operating the anti-aircraft guns had no time to evade and were swept to the ground by flying bullets and debris.
The bomb release button was pressed, and the mounted 500-kilogram aerial bomb detached from the rack on the belly of the aircraft and smashed towards the Warspite with inertia, carrying an indomitable momentum.
Unfortunately, the bomb was not very lucky. It missed the railing on the starboard side of the Warspite, smashed a row of railings, and plunged into the sea.
The delayed fuse was detonated, and a huge column of water rose into the sky.
Pullman Cook on the bridge of the Warspite stared at the splashing water columns in stunned silence. Although the white water columns looked quite beautiful, he was not in the mood to appreciate them and murmured. "Oh God! When will a carrier-based aircraft be able to carry such a large bomb?!"
He was also an experienced soldier, and he could tell at a glance that the explosive charge of this bomb was almost 100 kilograms of TNT. These bombs should be armor-piercing bombs. According to the fact that the charge of armor-piercing bombs is generally 20% of the bomb weight, this means that this aerial bomb weighs at least 500 kilograms.
If such a heavy bomb were dropped directly, could it penetrate the battleship armor? He didn't dare to take the risk. Once it penetrated, the power of the explosion of 100 kilograms of TNT was no joke.
"Quick, quick, quick! The whole ship is maneuvering to evade! What are the air defenses doing? Shoot down all those planes quickly!!"
And just as he was shouting anxiously, the German fleet also broke into commotion.
"Oh my God! That's Bazel!"
"Booby No. 5! Booby No. 5! Are you crazy?! Come back quickly!"
Bazel, who had entered a dive state, could no longer care about the calls from the air commander and his comrades. He felt that today must be his "unlucky day", otherwise why would His Highness get on his plane and force him to go down to fight the British warship; normally he would rush off without hesitation, but now in the back seat The person sitting here is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and he doesn't dare to mess around.
But he was just a soldier, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince insisted on letting him go down and drop the bomb as if he was beaten to death. Unable to withstand His Highness's coercion and inducement, Bazel could only grit his teeth, push the joystick, and let the fighter plane swoop down.
As tracer bullets passed by the fuselage one after another, Bazel had forgotten who was in the back seat, and his whole body was focused on the aiming target. Warspite was not stationary. It was maneuvering at high speed, and Bazel had to constantly adjust his dive direction to ensure the accuracy of the bombing.
Yannick felt his body being pushed firmly to the chair behind him, and his brain began to feel dizzy. This is because the plane dives too fast, allowing the brain's ischemic body to react normally. Pilots who have undergone countless trainings can adapt to this acceleration process in a few seconds; but an ordinary person like Yanik only feels that the world is spinning, and there is only a gap in the sky. Little star.
More than a dozen fire whips stirred in the air, but Bazel knew that it was difficult for this small-caliber anti-aircraft firepower to hit the Stuka, which was diving almost vertically at high speed. What they were most afraid of was the rain of anti-aircraft bullets fired from the front, and the faster they dived. , the sooner you die. However, all anti-aircraft weapons have a firing range, and the firing range of current anti-aircraft weapons rarely exceeds 80 degrees.
Therefore, he ignored the tracer bombs that passed by and looked at the altimeter. They had already dived to 1,000 meters. However, he was not in a hurry to drop the bombs. He gritted his teeth and continued to dive for another two hundred meters. When the altitude siren continued, When the ground buzzed, he suddenly pressed the bomb button.
Bazel felt that the machine suddenly became lighter, and he pulled the joystick sharply. The Stuka screamed "Woo-Woo" and began to turn around and climb. Yannick, who was sitting behind, felt that his internal organs were stuck to his back and he almost vomited out.
Not long after climbing, there was an earth-shattering explosion from the sea. The vibration caused by the explosion made Bazel clearly feel the tremor of his plane. This was completely different from the explosion that occurred when a bomb dropped into the water. Bazell knew that the bomb he dropped had hit its target.
"Haha! I hit it! Your Highness! I hit it!" Looking back, he almost fainted from fright and screamed hysterically. "Oh my God! Your Highness has been shot!"
His Highness was shot! In an instant, the entire flight fleet exploded.
All kinds of disbelief, questions, and meaningless shouts instantly filled the entire communication channel, so much so that Yannick had to yell a few times to calm these guys down. "I'm fine! I'm fine! Don't forget your mission, completely sink the battleship below!" He really wanted to slap this guy Bazel unconscious. Nimei, just shout, why are you shouting so loudly into the communication channel, are you afraid that others will not know that I am injured?
Yannick was indeed injured. An anti-aircraft shell fired from an unknown battleship happened to explode nearby. A piece of shrapnel penetrated the hatch cover directly, leaving a long wound from his ear to his neck.
This scared him so much that if the carotid artery was damaged, he would really die. Fortunately, no blood spurts were seen for a while, so he breathed a sigh of relief. He held the wound and looked down, and saw that a large hole had been blown out of the stern of the Warspite. Thick smoke and fire spewed out. The speed of the entire battleship slowed down significantly, and the power system was obviously also affected.
This bomb directly penetrated the seaplane deck of the Warspite, and then stumbled all the way into the boiler room of the battleship, causing a violent explosion. The horizontal armor of the boiler room, which had been strengthened to 89 mm (5 inches), was also torn open and broken. In an instant, the boiler pipes burst, blazing steam sprayed out violently, and the battleship's speed immediately dropped suddenly.
Yannick discovered that although Warspite's speed had obviously slowed down and the entire hull was tilting at a slope visible to the naked eye, it seemed that it would not be silent in a short time. If they left here, they might still be able to survive until they returned to port, so he wanted to strike while the iron was hot and sink the battleship completely.
Of course, the fleet of aircraft in the sky would not miss such a good opportunity. They swooped down at the battleship like vultures that smelled a putrid corpse. Aerial bombs roared down one after another, and fighter jets dropped torpedoes one after another to attack the Warspite.
