Third Reich: I took over power

The heavily damaged battleship Queen Elizabeth is tilting bit by bit.

Because too much water poured into the hull, the battleship could no longer maintain balance.

In just ten minutes, this huge battleship capsized on the sea and slowly sank into the sea.

"Ha ha! Well done! We took out the battleship Queen Elizabeth!"The pilots of the Third Reich cheered

"Attack, keep attacking! Get rid of the entire Mediterranean fleet of the Empire on which the sun never sets!"

The remaining carrier-based aircraft of the Third Reich began to pounce on the battleship George V, the battleship Revenge and the battlecruiser Renown.

"Oh, God! How can this be? Could such a huge battleship be destroyed so easily by a few planes? Are you kidding me? shouted Gen. Andrew Cunningham.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the aircraft of the Third Reich are more powerful than we imagined!"Lieutenant General Bruce Fraser's face turned pale.

"Damn it, are airplanes and aircraft carriers really going to replace battleships and become the protagonists of naval battles?"General Andrew Cunningham obviously cannot accept such a result.

However, the facts are right in front of him, and he cannot help but not believe it!

"Boom, boom, boom! Da da da!"

The fierce battle continued. Faced with the attacks from the Third Reich's fighter planes, the sailors of the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet fought back with anti-aircraft weapons.

They knew very well that if they could not stop these fighters, they might have to Die here.

These things that look like toys can really pose a fatal threat to them.

"boom! boom! boom!"

Explosions continued to sound, and the carrier-based aircraft of the Third Reich, under the cover of Air Force fighter jets, continued to launch attacks.

Bombs fell one after another and violent explosions occurred.

Some bombs fell into the sea, causing splashes. The towering water column failed to cause damage to these battleships.

However, many bombs fell on the battleships of the Royal Navy Mediterranean Fleet, causing huge disasters to these battleships.

The battlecruiser Renown is the first ship of the Renown class battlecruiser. , with a displacement of 36,000 tons, a maximum speed of 28 knots, and three twin 381mm main guns.

However, the battlecruiser's defense has always been its weakness.

After being attacked by carrier-based aircraft of the Third Reich Navy After the attack, the battlecruiser's disadvantage became even more obvious.

Two 500-kilogram aviation armor bombs easily penetrated the 5-inch-thick deck armor, blasting the internal compartments of the battleship into a mess and causing a raging fire. Fire.

Immediately afterwards, two more 500 kilogram aviation armor-piercing bombs almost blew the stern of the ship to pieces. Not only was the drive shaft broken, but also the steering gear was blown away.

This caused the battlecruiser Renown to suffer heavy damage. In such a situation

, what it means is self-evident.

Eight torpedo attack aircraft launched attacks on the battlecruiser Renown in batches.

As a result, seven of the eight torpedoes scored hits.

Only The 9-inch-thick water armor was like paper in front of the 533mm heavy torpedo, and was easily blown up.

Such a heavy loss directly killed the battlecruiser Renown.

Soon, this ship The battlecruiser met the fate of the battleship Queen Elizabeth and sank into the sea.

The battleship Revenge, protected by several cruisers and destroyers, escaped in embarrassment.

However, how can the speed of a battleship be compared with that of an airplane? ? It was easily overtaken by the carrier-based aircraft of the Third Reich and fell into a siege.

Just ten minutes after the battle began, the battleship Revenge was hit by two torpedoes and a bomb respectively, and suffered heavy damage.

Immediately afterwards, More carrier-based aircraft rushed towards the Revenge battleship.

The dive bombers struck accurately, and the torpedo attack aircraft attacked silently like assassins.

This caused the Revenge battleship to soon suffer heavy damage.

The battleship was seriously flooded. , causing the hull to tilt to a certain extent. In addition, the speed of the battleship was also greatly affected.

Although it was not sunk, it was undoubtedly very difficult to escape.

As the flagship of the Mediterranean Fleet, George V The battleship HMS George V also suffered heavy damage.

The battleship HMS George V, which had been hit by 8 heavy air-penetrating bombs, was already on fire. At the same time, two torpedoes exploded two near its waterline armor. Big hole.

When Admiral Andrew Cunningham thought it was doomed, all the carrier-based aircraft of the Third Reich flew away.

It was not that the carrier-based aircraft of the Third Reich saved the life of the Mediterranean Fleet, but that they had already dropped all their bombs and torpedoes.

In this round of attacks, they achieved great results. But at the same time, they also paid a certain amount of losses. Three dive bombers and two torpedo attack aircraft were destroyed during the battle. However, compared to Compared with the results they achieved, this loss seemed insignificant.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the planes of the Third Reich have left, are we safe?"Lt. Gen. Bruce Fraser is still worried.

"No, we are not out of danger yet. The carrier-based aircraft of the Third Reich will also attack us."Admiral Andrew Cunningham said.

Now he regrets it. If he had known that attacking the Port of Sirte would lead to such fierce revenge from the Third Reich, he might not have issued the order to destroy the Port of Sirte.

But , it’s too late to talk about this now.

There is no regret medicine in the world.

Sure enough, as Admiral Andrew Cunningham expected, the battle is not over yet.

When the carrier-based aircraft group of the Third Reich Navy returned, the Air Force A whole wing of dive bombers had already taken off.

Escorted by a brigade of BF-109 fighters, the 108 dive bombers headed towards the Mediterranean Fleet.

Although there were still many battleships in the Mediterranean Fleet, both battleships had already suffered They were severely damaged and could not escape at all.

So, when these battleships were besieged by 108 dive bombers of the Third Reich Air Force, they were completely unable to fight back. The battleships Revenge and George V, which had already suffered heavy damage, were sunk one after another.

In addition, many cruisers and destroyers were sunk or suffered heavy damage. The

Third Reich Air Force also lost more than ten dive bombers.

The only regret is that the aircraft carrier Eagle and Glorious The aircraft carrier has already fled in advance when the situation is bad. Otherwise, the losses of the Royal Navy Mediterranean Fleet will be even greater._Feilu reminds you: three things about reading - collection, recommendation,
