The Third Reich

Britain, as a veteran capitalist country, has begun to go downhill, and the glory of an empire that has never set before is gradually fading.

This can be seen only from the British warships. With the decline of national power, the speed of building new ships in Britain has been greatly delayed, so that the current main battleships of Britain are still in the First World War.

Although the ships are old, the United Kingdom has adopted modern and improved methods to give these warships modern combat capabilities.

For example, the war exhaustion has undergone large-scale modification. For example, even the main engine has been replaced, and in terms of weapons, that is even more true.

Although the main gun did not move, the anti-aircraft artillery used for air defense has undergone many improvements to cope with the increasingly severe air risks.

For example, one of the most important improvements is the addition of a pop cannon.

This is an eight-pack version of the early British MKII two-pounder. Compared with the original two-pounder, it has improved heat resistance to adapt to long-term automatic firing.

If converted, two pounds should be about 40 mm. Compared with Bofors’s 40 mm anti-aircraft artillery, the performance is actually very backward, but it won the British Navy contract for no other reason, because after the First World War, the United Kingdom A stock of up to two million two-pound artillery shells remained.

These cannonballs must be used continuously, not to be wasted.

Therefore, the British came up with an idea to change this thing into a warship's anti-aircraft artillery, and it took more than ten years.

When it was first born in 1921, it was a six-pack, but the British navy felt that it was not good enough, so it added two tubes and became an eight-pack.

The forty-millimeter antiaircraft gun, eight-pack, is a big thing, with a total of ten tons, which can only be installed on battleships. Moreover, the sailor gave it a cordial title, called the Chicago piano.

It was not until 1930 that the first Pang Pang gun was officially equipped with the Kokang battleship. After that, this bang-bang gun was mass-produced and equipped on other large warships.

Objectively speaking, the performance of the bang-bang gun was very advanced when it was first born. After all, the eight barrels and the firepower are frantic.

However, it is also problematic. One is that the muzzle velocity is too low and the range is limited, and the other is that it cannot launch shells equipped with a proximity fuze. With the rapid development of aircraft, it is increasingly unable to meet the needs of air defense. It was eventually replaced by the Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft gun.

But now, this kind of banging artillery is the biggest support of the war exhaustion, and in front of it is a Junker-88 bomber that is flying quickly!

After discovering this warship, Bescher had no time to pull up the plane and climb again. It was quite stupid to pull it up at this time.

This will expose the belly of the plane to the opponent, which is the easiest angle to be shot. Therefore, he can only continue to fly forward at a super low altitude, and at the same time, enter the final bombing route.

His plan is not appropriate, but he has no other choice.

"Prepare to drop the bomb." Bescher shouted loudly. At the same time, the huge battleship opposite had already opened fire.

Fire!

Bang Bang guns are not only huge in size, but also require a lot of manpower. A gun station requires more than a dozen artillerymen.

And now, the huge eight-gun mount is slowly rotating, and eight 40mm barrels are rising quickly. The British Navy is still in a leading position in shooting sights. Their sights Quite precise.

Now, setting the target into his sight, the main gunner stepped on the firing device.

"Boom boom!" A huge noise quickly sounded from the gun position.

The eight guns fired together. The sound was quite shocking. The gun barrel was high, and the muzzle burst out with fire. One after another, 40 mm shells were fired from the horn. The entire gun position immediately filled with smoke.

Compared with the shock of shelling, what was even more terrifying was the shells spit out from the side, which quickly filled the space on the side!

This eight-unit antiaircraft gun fires together. As an automatic weapon, it needs automatic loading equipment. On this gun mount, there are eight heavy ammunition boxes, each of which is connected by a bullet chain. 140 rounds of shells. At this time, the shells continued to enter the bore of the antiaircraft artillery, and then the empty shells were thrown out.

The sound of crashing is endless.

As the Chicago piano fired, the dense 40mm shells formed a terrible storm of bullets, splattered towards the opposite side!

"Hit!" The watchman shouted loudly. From here, you can clearly see that the Junker-88 bomber, on one side of the engine, has been emitting black smoke!

Finally killed a bomber and let out a breath of malice!

This kind of anti-aircraft gun seems to have strong firepower. In fact, the performance of the anti-aircraft gun is not advanced, especially the effective slant range is still insufficient, and it lacks lethality against dive bombers and long-range mine-throwing torpedo aircraft.

If this Junker-88 was dropped in a dive, it could safely fly away from the opponent's barrage, but now, it can only choose to drop the bomb at a horizontal ultra-low altitude. At this time, it was unfortunately shot.

However, almost at the same time, the belly bomb bay of this Junker-88 opened, and the second PC-1000RS flew out of it!

Just after leaving the belly bomb bay, a flame emerged from the tail of this bomb, and the rocket booster had been ignited! With the help of the speed of the carrier, it rushed to the war exhaustion that was close at hand!

The sailors looked surprised.

"Quick, quick, left full rudder!" the captain of the war exhaustion shouted loudly.

That bomber ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ was turning hard, but no one cared about it anymore. Everyone was staring at the bomb that flew over. It was a big guy. It was hit by that bomb. It's terrible!

At this time, the warship has accelerated to 10 knots. This speed is not high enough to make the war exhaustion turn quickly!

Hurry up, fast forward, you can avoid it right away!

Everyone lifted their hearts into their throats, and they stared at the flying bomb closely, calculating the possibility of avoidance in their hearts.

No, not fast enough!

In everyone's surprised eyes, the bomb with the flame trailing its tail went straight to the bridge.

"boom!"

The armor of the bridge was not enough to withstand a one-ton bomb. With the explosion of this bomb, almost the entire bridge was blown away. The navy officers on it suffered most of the casualties!

The flying debris smashed the chimney behind, and thick smoke billowed on the bridge.

War-weary, got hurt!

At the time of the explosion, the captain, deputy captain, and first mates were killed in battle, and the well-trained naval soldiers immediately began damage control. At this time, they knew what they should do without any command. This is the foundation of the old navy!

Although the banging cannon damaged the bomber, it failed to stop the bomber from dropping it!
