Chapter 436

The battlecruiser HMS Hood is currently the largest displacement battleship in the Royal Navy, with a full load displacement of more than 47,000 tons. Moreover, the maximum speed can reach 31 knots.

The four twin-mounted 381mm main guns equipped are also very powerful.

Among the battlecruisers equipped by various countries in the world, they are considered very powerful.

But it is a pity that the enemy the battlecruiser Hood now encounters does not come from the sea, but from the sky. Its powerful main gun is of little use under such circumstances.

Although the battlecruiser Hood was also equipped with a lot of anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns. But under the siege of thundering carrier-based aircraft, it still seemed very dangerous.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The 2440mm anti-aircraft guns, 20 0mm anti-aircraft guns, and 20 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns on the USS Hood battleship fired wildly. From a distance, this fiercely firing battleship looked like a fire-breathing hedgehog.

"Woo! Woo!"

A small group of dive bombers began to dive and drop bombs, and the shrill roar seemed to pierce people's eardrums.

Some sailors were so unprepared that they even covered their ears in pain and squatted on the ground.

"Fire! Kill them!"

The anti-aircraft guns fired at the dive bombers in the sky in an anti-aircraft manner, and the dense rain of bullets enveloped those dive bombers like a violent storm.

"boom!"

One dive bomber was hit by intensive anti-aircraft fire and was blown into parts on the spot.

But the remaining three dive bombers still shuttled through the rain of bullets, as if they were blind to the intensive anti-aircraft fire.

"bomb!"

When the distance altitude indicator showed that the distance to the sea was only 600 meters, the team leader gave the order to drop the bomb and took the lead in dropping the bomb. The other two dive bombers also followed closely and began to drop bombs.

Three aerial bombs, It hit the battlecruiser USS Hood hard.

"Full left rudder, avoid!"The navigator of the battlecruiser Hood ordered loudly.

The huge battleship immediately turned urgently.

However, it only avoided two heavy aerial bombs. There was still an aerial bomb that hit the Hood.

The bomb penetrated Hood's front deck and exploded inside the battleship, causing a raging fire.

"Torpedo, torpedo found on starboard!"Of course, the sailors roared loudly.

When the dive bombers launched their attack, a small thunder attack aircraft had already launched an attack secretly. They had been approaching until they were less than two kilometers away from the battlecruiser USS Hood, and then The torpedoes were released.

Four 533mm heavy mines hit the sea surface heavily and sank into the sea at once.

But the next moment, these torpedoes jumped out from under the sea surface, and then sank under the sea surface again, only five or six meters away from the water surface. position, quickly move towards the battleship USS Hood

"Turn, turn now!"

The sailors on the battlecruiser Hood shouted loudly.

At this moment, the navigator had turned the rudder to the extreme. However, it is simply impossible for such a huge battleship to complete the turn quickly.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Some sailors even fired directly at the sea with anti-aircraft guns in an attempt to destroy the torpedoes.

However, this was in vain.

"boom! boom!"

Two consecutive explosions sounded on the starboard side of the battleship Hood. Two 533mm heavy torpedoes hit the target almost at the same time. The other two heavy torpedoes missed.

Although the thickness of the waterline armor of the battlecruiser Hood was Reached 305 mm.

But it still couldn't withstand the 53 mm heavy torpedo.

When the torpedo's warhead exploded, the huge power immediately tore through the waterline armor and blasted two large holes.

Fortunately, the damage control personnel immediately carried out Such injuries would not be too serious for a huge battleship with a displacement of more than 47,000 tons. It would not have much impact on the combat effectiveness of the battleship.

However, the Third Reich The Navy's second wave of attacks by carrier-based aircraft groups has just begun. Next, the battlecruiser Hood will also face crazy attacks by the Third Reich's carrier-based aircraft groups. Whether they can survive these attacks remains to be seen. It's hard to say.

When the battlecruiser Hood was attacked, the battleships Nelson, Rodney, Prince of Wales, Duke of York and Anson were also attacked by the Third Reich's carrier-based aircraft groups. A fierce attack.

Although, relying on powerful anti-aircraft firepower, these battleships shot down many carrier-based aircraft of the Third Reich Navy.

But at the same time, they also suffered serious injuries under the attacks of these carrier-based aircraft.

Nelson Although the USS battleship has three triple-mounted 406mm main guns, these huge main guns are of no use in air combat. It can only rely on 4 quadruple-mounted 40mm anti-aircraft guns and 61 20mm anti-aircraft guns to protect itself..

The powerful anti-aircraft firepower allowed the battleship Nelson to perform very powerfully when faced with attacks from the carrier-based aircraft of the Third Reich, shooting down many carrier-based aircraft of the Third Reich.

However, no matter how intensive the anti-aircraft firepower was, There are also holes in the net.

Especially when suppressed by the Third Reich's carrier-based BF-109 fighter jets, it is easily torn apart.

Dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft one after another immediately The attack was launched.

Heavy aerial bombs hit the battleship Nelson like raindrops, and torpedo attack aircraft were also releasing heavy aerial torpedoes. The huge battleship Nelson was like a crazy bull on the sea. Rushing left and right, dodging those aerial bombs and torpedoes.

Most of the aerial bombs and torpedoes were dodged, but some were still hit.

An aerial bomb hit the front deck of the battleship Nelson. Fortunately, the turret was not hit. Otherwise, even if the battleship Nelson was not severely damaged, it would have lost a considerable part of its firepower.

At the same time, there was also a heavy aviation torpedo that penetrated the waterline armor. However, it did not explode into a big hole. That's all.

Under the frenzied attacks by the carrier-based aircraft groups of the Third Reich Navy, almost every one of the battleships that was attacked was hit by bombs and torpedoes, and all were injured. However, the injuries ranged from minor to severe..

Although the armor of these battleships is very thick, they can be considered to be thick-skinned. However, if they are hit by more bombs and torpedoes, the injuries will naturally be more serious._To read the underlined version of the novel, please download Feilu Novel A
