Chapter 310 Let’s watch the Ming Dynasty aircraft carrier bombard a British battleship! (Please subscribe, please vote)

"Five degrees to the left! Three degrees to the right! Hurry up and hide!"

It has to be said that Rear Admiral Howe is still working very hard! Even in the face of more than 30 steam gas torpedoes with a speed of up to 36 knots, he is still trying his best, according to the ship maneuvering skills he learned at the Royal Naval College at Dartmouth,

Command the helmsman to maneuver the ship to avoid mines.

However, the boat maneuvering skills he mastered to avoid torpedoes were all used to avoid compressed air torpedoes. The speed of those things is generally less than 10 kilometers per hour, and the range is only 1 kilometer. It can be said that they are slow and close, and very easy to dodge. But today he encountered

The one that arrived is a steam gas torpedo that can run up to 40 knots at the fastest and has a range of up to 8,000 meters. This "mine" is better than the "thunder". It really needs to be thrown!

Facing the 36 steam gas torpedoes spread out in a fan shape, Rear Admiral Howe's only correct response was to aim the bow of the ship at the incoming torpedoes to reduce the area affected by bombs as much as possible. But this was the first time he saw the "Da Ming Torpedo Sea"

Rear Admiral Howe did not know this move at all, so instead of making any contribution to saving the warship, his order accelerated the demise of the Malina.

Just as the Malina twisted left and right, two white waves had already passed through the sea less than 3,000 meters at an extremely fast speed, and plunged into the middle and middle of the battleship Malina one after another.

Stern.

Then, a terrible scene happened. Two huge water masses suddenly burst out from the stern of this battleship with a standard displacement of 18,000 tons. When the water masses shattered, people actually saw the battleship's stern.

The stern part seemed to have been punched upwards by a giant hiding in the sea. It was raised high, and two huge holes appeared in the raised part!

Although the Victory-class battleship was not designed with too much consideration of the threat of torpedoes, the underwater part was not specially reinforced, and there was no mine protection barrier, the Victory-class was, after all, a new large-tonnage battleship with a "skin" on its "butt"

It is still quite thick, and now it has actually poked two such big holes. The destructive power of the Ming Dynasty's 530 mm caliber steam gas torpedo can be seen.

The "butt" of this ship is not just a matter of "skin", there are many important parts inside and outside the "butt", such as propellers and rudders, as well as drive shafts and a system for controlling the rudder. This requires

If it's blown up, even if it's just stuck in a critical place, it won't be able to move.

However, if there is any "ship spirit" on the battleship Malina, it will definitely not care about the beaten butt now. Because the beating on its butt is just the beginning, and there will be more to come!

Just a minute after the stern of the Malina was hit by two torpedoes, two more steam gas torpedoes, like underwater killers, mercilessly hit the Malina's bow, amidships, and again.

Three loud noises followed by three huge water masses. After the water spray dispersed, a piece of the Malina's bow was missing, as if it had been struck by an ax by a giant in the sea. And the Malina

Two large "water-absorbing" holes were opened in the middle of the ship, and sea water rushed in. After a while, the Malina tilted 15 degrees to the left.

Rear Admiral Hao, who had been knocked to the ground by the explosion of five torpedoes and had his head smashed, reacted in time this time. Before anyone could get up, he shouted an order: "Inject water, add water to the starboard side to maintain balance."

Of course there is no problem with injecting water to the starboard side, and there is no problem with maintaining balance. However, there are so many big holes in the part below the waterline of the Malina, and sea water flows in, and it is no longer possible to block the waterproof door.

I don’t even know where to turn it off. Now if I inject the same amount of water to the starboard side, then the ship will sink smoothly.

The above five torpedoes are not all the achievements of the six ferocious "heavy torpedo destroyers" in the first round of heavy torpedo salvoes.

In this wave, they fired 36 torpedoes at a very close distance from the Malina and the Willis! However, not all of these 36 torpedoes were directed towards the Malina. The Willis was

About twelve or thirteen were allocated. It was relatively far away from the destroyers, so only "a few" suffered two steam gas torpedoes!

These two torpedoes were fired at the "face" of the Willisley. They were 530 torpedoes! They were so rough and powerful. The bottom of the Willisley's ship had not been strengthened. Two 530 torpedoes were fired up.

, the entire lower part of the "ship's face" was blown up. With the face gone, how can the ship be still good? Although it's not good, it can't sink even if it sinks. Because the Victory also has the concept of a core armored area.

, the "face" of the ship is not in it. However, the hole in the "face" is too big. Too much water enters, and the bow of the ship sinks seriously. The butt of the ship tilts up, and it becomes "front and back."

" shape. It doesn't matter that the shape is ugly. The trouble is that the propeller on the stern of the ship is out of the water, and the ship cannot maneuver! Moreover, the five main gun turrets on the ship are also difficult to aim because the bow of the ship has sunk seriously. Even if it is still

It’s not even possible to fight.

After the two battleships were hit by mines, they were unable to move for a while. The Malina's power compartment was flooded and the coal stove inside was doused, and it was still moving like this? And although the Willis Mile still had

power, but after the butt of the ship was raised, the propeller was temporarily out of the water, and it had to be filled back with water to balance it before it could maneuver. At this moment, among the planes in the sky, there were twenty or thirty planes that had not yet dropped the 100 kilogram bomb.

It’s so exciting to fly a plane!

Everyone knows the secret of "Killing you while you are sick" in the art of war. If you don't perform meritorious service at this time, when will you perform meritorious deeds? So everyone no longer cares about the height, and all circle downwards. If they are impatient, they simply dive downwards at a small angle, from

It was originally more than 1,000 or 2,000 meters, but it rushed to a height of several hundred meters, dropped the bomb, and then took a photo. If it exploded, it was a great achievement!

Because these aircraft all pointed their noses at the battleships and dived. Although they did not plunge directly downwards at a large angle, they still allowed the bombs to have "inertial guidance", and the accuracy suddenly improved. In the blink of an eye, they were "sinking steadily"

"The battleship USS Malina was hit by three 100-kilogram bombs! One on the starboard side and one on the port side, both penetrated the deck and exploded below the deck. I don't know what exploded? Anyway, the explosion caused thick smoke billowing.

. Another one directly hit the top of the turret in the middle of the ship. It did not penetrate, but it still stunned all the gun crew members inside!

The "butt" of the "butt-sticking" Wellesley became an excellent target. It was hit by five bombs in succession, causing a huge cloud of smoke. Although the stern turret also withstood the attack.

One shot hit directly, but if you look carefully, you can still find that the stern turret of the Willis was slightly deformed by the explosion, and the situation inside is probably not much better. But it doesn't matter, because Willis

The end of the Serene and Malina is coming!

The one who ended them was the aircraft-carrying battlecruiser Shu Zhongwang where Zhuge Weidao was located!

Zhuge Weidao originally did not dare to get too close to the two battleships, but now that he saw them like this, he naturally became "brave" and immediately gave an order to Lei Teng: "Captain Lei, rush forward immediately and get closer.

One point, use 300mm guns to sink both British battleships!"

"Yes, Junmen!" Of course Lei Teng would not miss the opportunity to sink a battleship. As an aircraft carrier commander, I am afraid that he may never have the opportunity to sink a battleship with naval guns for the second time in his life!

He immediately ordered: "At full speed, rush towards the enemy battleships. Rush to a distance of 3,000 meters and then walk around them."

"Yes, sir!"

"Guns, allocate fire channels! The No. 1 turret bombards that slutty battleship, and the No. 2 turret hits the other one!"

"Yes, sir!"

This is really awesome. An aircraft carrier - an aircraft-carrying battlecruiser should also be considered an aircraft carrier, right? One aircraft carrier actually engaged in an artillery battle with two battleships, one against two!
