"boom! boom! boom!"

The three O battlecruisers of the Third Reich intensified their attacks on the battlecruiser Brave.

One after another, large-caliber main gun shells roared and hit the battlecruiser Brave.

In fact, there was no It took less than ten minutes, and only five minutes later, the battlecruiser Courageous was already dying.

Within these five minutes, the battlecruiser Courageous was hit by at least ten 38mm shells. This was for a ship with a small displacement. To a 23,000-ton battlecruiser with extremely weak armor, it is undoubtedly extremely deadly.

When the Brave battlecruiser slowly sank into the sea, the three O-class battlecruisers of the Third Reich stopped In order to continue shooting at it to avoid wasting shells.

However, the secondary battery joined the attack on the three light cruisers of the Royal Navy.

This made the three Royal Navy's three light cruisers, who were originally evenly matched with the Third Reich's light cruisers, The light cruiser was immediately suppressed and even had to evacuate in embarrassment. Rear

Admiral Roderick, commander of the Royal Navy's Third Squadron, had already left in a lifeboat before the battlecruiser HMS Brave sank. He didn't seem to want to Sinking with the ship, I want to continue living

"Damn the Germans! Just wait, the Imperial Navy's carrier-based aircraft rescue is coming. When the time comes, you will definitely die without a burial place!"Rear Admiral Roderick said through gritted teeth.

All three of his battlecruisers were sunk. This was undoubtedly an extremely heavy blow to the Royal Navy. At the same time, it was also a devastating blow to him personally. A blow. His career is very likely to be completely ruined by this.

Rear Admiral Roderick naturally hopes that the three O-class battlecruisers of the Third Reich will be killed.

Of course, with the strength of the Royal Navy's carrier-based aircraft, perhaps It is impossible to sink all three O-class battlecruisers. However, as long as they can be damaged, this is a huge victory.

Wait until the subsequent two Nelson-class battleships, the battlecruiser Hood and the battlecruiser Repulse When the cruisers arrive, they will be able to completely send these three O-class battlecruisers into the sea.

By then, the Royal Navy will be able to reverse the situation and still firmly grasp the advantage. At this moment, the three O-class battlecruisers of the Third Reich Navy The O-class battlecruisers have adjusted their formation and entered air defense operations.

The three O-class battlecruisers are spread out. Each has a light cruiser and two destroyers to provide air defense protection.

Coupled with its own strength The anti-aircraft firepower, if you are lucky, will undoubtedly be able to withstand the attack of the Royal Navy's carrier-based aircraft group.

After all, the anti-aircraft firepower of the O-class battlecruiser is still very powerful. It is equipped with 8 twin-mounted 105mm high-level planes. Artillery, 12 88mm anti-aircraft guns, 8 twin 40mm anti-aircraft guns, 20 20mm anti-aircraft guns, and 24 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns.

Once these anti-aircraft weapons or firepower is fully activated, it will be enough to form an airtight anti-aircraft firepower The net was over.

The Royal Navy's carrier-based aircraft group dared to launch an attack, which was enough to make them hit their heads and bleed bloody in such a dense air defense fire net. The

M light cruiser also equipped with weak anti-aircraft firepower, each equipped with four With 105mm high-level and flat dual-purpose guns, 6 88mm anti-aircraft guns, 6 twin 40mm anti-aircraft guns and 8 20mm anti-aircraft guns, plus 12 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns, the anti-aircraft firepower is still very powerful. The

X destroyer is also a Although its triple-mounted 105mm main gun does not have the ability to shoot into the air. However, it also has four 88mm anti-aircraft guns, four twin-mounted 40mm anti-aircraft guns, six 20mm anti-aircraft guns and eight 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns, which can still Forming powerful anti-air strike firepower.

Hess, the ruler of the Third Reich, knew that the main force in future naval battles would be the combination of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft. If battleships want to survive naval battles, powerful anti-aircraft firepower will be indispensable. In short

, every battleship of the Third Reich Navy has specially optimized its anti-aircraft firepower. Every inch of space on the battleship, as long as it is suitable, is equipped with anti-aircraft guns or anti-aircraft machine guns.

To ensure that when facing the enemy's shipboard When an aircraft attacks, these powerful anti-aircraft firepower can enable the warship to withstand and survive. In particular, it can provide good air defense support for one's own capital ships during the battle.

Twenty minutes later, when the Royal Navy ship When the aircraft group arrived, the three O-class battlecruisers of the Third Reich had already formed an air defense formation and were ready. The first batch of carrier-based aircraft to arrive was not many, only more than forty. Moreover, half of them are Sea Fighter carrier-based fighters that pose no threat to maritime battleships. The other half is the Great Ou carrier-based bomber.

These Great Gull carrier-based bombers carried a five-hundred-pound aerial bomb.

Compared with the dive bombers of the Third Reich Navy that can carry two aerial bombs weighing 500 kilograms or one aerial bomb weighing one ton, the Great Ou carrier-based bomber is undoubtedly weak.

"Ready to fight!"

Following the air defense commander's order, the 105mm high-level and flat dual-purpose guns took the lead in firing.

These large-caliber anti-aircraft guns have the advantages of long range and high power.

However, the rate of fire is relatively low and the hit rate is very low.

In Before the invention of the radio proximity fuse, if this kind of anti-aircraft gun wanted to hit the target, it all depended on the character. Or God's blessing.

"Attack and kill those battleships of the Third Reich!"The commander of the Royal Navy's carrier-based aircraft group also issued an order.

The Royal Navy's communication technology is naturally stronger. Radio communication devices are installed on the aircraft, making command more convenient.

Sea Fighter carrier-based fighter jets and The Great Ou carrier-based bomber pounced on the three O-class battlecruisers of the Third Reich.

"boom! boom! boom!"

The shell of the 105-meter anti-aircraft gun exploded in the air, leaving behind clouds of fire and smoke.

Perhaps due to really bad luck, a Great Ou carrier-based bomber was hit on the spot by a 105-millimeter shell.

105-meter anti-aircraft gun The huge power blew the Great Gull carrier-based bomber into pieces on the spot.

The pilot was killed before he could even parachute.

This made other Royal Navy carrier-based aircraft pilots so frightened that they immediately Spread out in all directions.

As the Royal Navy's carrier-based aircraft groups pounced, the Third Reich's naval battleships also opened fire.

"boom! boom! boom!"

The 88mm anti-aircraft guns, 40mm anti-aircraft guns, and 20mm anti-aircraft guns on the battleship also opened fire immediately. A dense anti-aircraft firepower network appeared._Feilu reminds you: three things about reading - collection, recommendation,
