Chapter 1142

The four attack aircraft on the left flank first launched the attack. They spread their wide wings like frigate birds hunting, and a torpedo weighing more than 400 kilograms is like sharp claws. Under the shining of the sun, the gray-white thunder head pointed straight at the steel dragon in the distance like a sharp spear.

"At this moment, we are the dragon slayers of the new era!" Rudel said proudly.

When he saw eight torpedo planes approaching him from the left and right wings at the same time, Major General Becken felt his brain was blank for a short time. Imagine two teams of destroyers approaching him and firing torpedoes in a fan shape at a distance of about 500 to 600 meters. In the scene, the major general could feel cold sweat running down his cheeks. This is terrible! Can avoid more by luck rather than technique!

"Increase the speed, we need to run faster!" Major General Becker said with a cold sweat.

"But our speed has reached 22 knots, exceeding the standard speed." A member of the referee team said.

"Don't be too strict, please be forgiving and forgiving." Scheer walked over and said. He could also see that the bet has been lost so far, even if Major General Becken avoided 8 torpedoes by luck this time? There are 2 teams of torpedo planes and 2 teams of bombers in the back!

The four torpedo bombers on the left flank lined up, and the four planes rushed to the huge side of the Saxon from the front left. At a height of 25 meters, when the distance between the target and the target was 700 meters, the leader of the torpedo team first pulled down the bomb handle, and the first torpedo shot out in an arc in the air. After 10 seconds, the second, third and fourth torpedoes fired alternately!

"Pull up! Let's go!" The Seahawk attack plane that lost its load suddenly jumped up. The pilots tried their best to pull up their control sticks. In the last few hundred meters, these planes climbed 30 to 40 meters and flew over the Saxony. The lowest one was almost close to the mast of the battleship. This behavior seemed more provocative in the eyes of the major general.

Of course, at this time, the major general can’t bother about this. The four torpedoes almost blocked the Saxon’s route. Whether it continues to turn forward or reverse, there is a great risk. These torpedoes with an interval of about 20 meters are behind him. There are trails left behind, stab at the target like a deadly sword!

"Maximum speed, reverse steering." The four rudder surfaces at the stern were directly killed. Under the abundant power of the steam turbine, the behemoth with a displacement of more than 30,000 tons began to quickly turn to the right. The hull collided with the sea violently, and a wave hit the ship deck. And because the warship turned too fast, the entire hull tilted about 10 degrees to the right. Under the huge resistance of the sea, the warship that originally had a speed of 23 knots was left with 21.5 knots after the turn was completed.

Relying on extreme mobility and luck, all the four torpedoes in the first wave of attack were missed, and the closest one passed 15 meters from the stern, making the seahawks participating in the airstrike regretful. and then? Before Major General Becker breathed a sigh of relief, the turned Saxony directly exposed its slender hull to the attack range of another team of torpedo aircraft!

When the other four torpedo planes appeared in the field of vision, the Saxon dodged the last torpedo for less than half a minute, and the warship was still tilting. Major General Becken, who was already in a hurry, ordered the warship to dodge to the left again. At this time, the huge battleship is like an athlete running too fast and unable to stop. When trying to adjust the direction and posture, at a distance of about 600 meters, there are 4 torpedoes fired in a fan shape!

But this time, Major General Becken was completely desperate. He watched the white lines that herald disasters extending in the sea. I only know that this time it is really impossible for him to get out of the way, and it is true that the two torpedoes successfully hit the left string of the Saxon, one hit the bow part, and the other hit the number 1. Below the turret.

"The bow was hit and damaged severely, with 800 tons of water flooded. Temporarily, the starboard side was tilted 7 degrees. The lower part of the hull No. 1 turret was flooded with 400 tons of water and the inclination angle increased to 10 degrees. Is the water injection balanced?" Asked after the hit.

The bow is a light armor belt, and the TDS has a smaller thickness and naturally more water will enter after being hit. The TDS of the No. 1 turret is thicker, and the lightning protection armor is also increased a lot, so less water ingress is inevitable. Of course, this is a simulation of a British battleship. If the Saxony was hit by a torpedo with a charge of only 90KG in actual combat, the flooding would be certain, but it would definitely not be that much.

"Not for the time being." Becken was still quite clear-headed at this time, the attack had just begun, and the battleship had fallen into the water with thousands of tons. If the water is injected in the opposite direction on the right side, the entire warship will have a more serious bow. The problem is bigger. And the opponent hit starboard this time. According to their attacking habits, if they hit 2 rounds on the left string, they don’t need to inject water...

"Let's release the smoke immediately." Looking at the second wave of attack aircraft that appeared in the distance, Lieutenant General Scheer finally couldn't stand it anymore. After all, Becken was also his old subordinate, and he was the captain of the battleship. It's a follower. So a correct suggestion was given.

"Yes, open all the smoke cans and release the smoke!" After being reminded by Lieutenant General Scheer, Major General Becken hurriedly said ~lightnovelpub.net~ After a while, the Saxon spewed thick smoke and soon The hull is obscured. Let the Seahawk attack aircraft in the air have no chance to attack. But at the same time, because of the smoke screen, the Saxon can't leave the range covered by the smoke screen. You must know that the smoke screen can't follow the battleship at a speed of 20 knots. It is not called smoke. It is called the old black mountain monster... .

"Have you hit 2 torpedoes? Although the hit rate is not high, it is really good." At this time, Wilhelm II, who was far aboard the Bavaria, said after listening to the report.

It’s really like this. So far, a total of 12 torpedoes have been thrown and 2 of them have been hit. If they are driven from the shooting range, the hit rate is not high. You know, this is at a distance of 600 meters with almost no interference. Launch a torpedo to hit a target. But in fact, if you don’t say that there is such an efficiency on the battlefield, then one-tenth shooting is still very valuable. As far as the underwater protection of the British battleship is concerned, if two torpedoes with a 90KG charge hit the same side, and they are all in the bow position, then at least it is the result of withdrawing from the battle. If you are unlucky, it is possible to sink directly. of! After all, the 180KG picric sour explosive is already much heavier than the torpedo that sank the Bold!
