Chapter 257: Bombing the devil's cruiser

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Generally speaking, the maximum elevation angle of an anti-aircraft gun is not 90 degrees.  This is the result of various mechanical limitations. Generally speaking, if the elevation angle of the anti-aircraft gun reaches 85 degrees, it is already very good.  This also means that if the enemy plane flies right over your head, the anti-aircraft gun will not be able to hit it.  In fact, before the enemy plane flew over the anti-aircraft guns, the enemy plane's bombs had already been dropped.  Therefore, the limitation of the elevation angle will not cause trouble in actual combat.  After all, the way anti-aircraft guns are used is to shoot at an angle. As the enemy plane gradually approaches, it starts to shoot at the enemy until the enemy plane is shot down or expelled. If this purpose is achieved, it is air defense.  If the battle is successful, if it is the other way around, it will be killed by the enemy plane.  Therefore, the anti-aircraft gunner does not need to consider how to deal with the enemy plane flying above his head.

    If it is an anti-aircraft gun on land, it only needs to face the direction of the threat. After all, it is very clear where the enemy is.  But it is different when it comes to the sea. Enemies may appear on all sides of the sea.  Correspondingly, the anti-aircraft guns on the warship are arranged in many places, on the sides, front and rear, so that they have the ability to shoot in all directions.  In this way, no matter what direction the enemy plane comes from, there will be anti-aircraft guns on the corresponding side to intercept it.

    If the devil had already noticed the problem when the first round of enemy planes flew over just now, then the naval guns on this heavy cruiser would definitely shoot back.  But when they were identifying the enemy plane, the enemy plane had already flown over the aircraft carrier, and their reaction was greatly delayed, so when they started to intercept, their firepower was all towards the port side, even the one at the stern  Anti-aircraft guns are also facing sideways.  Now suddenly a plane appeared from behind them, and they needed to turn the muzzle of the anti-aircraft gun around.  The anti-aircraft guns of this era do not have the ability to rotate automatically, and the gunner turns the steering gear by himself. The speed of rotation is very slow, and it cannot keep up with the speed of this plane.

    The gunners on the warship are shaking hard. This 96-type 25mm double-mounted anti-aircraft gun has two gunners on the left and right, so that the speed of shaking together is faster. Even so, they have not yet reached the corresponding level.  The position of the plane, the roar of the plane has sounded above their heads.  They looked up at the plane in the flames, with horror in their eyes.  Just under the belly of the plane, bombs are flying over flickeringly.  When the plane reached above their heads, it meant that the bombs had traveled almost the same distance in the horizontal direction.  Those bombs have fallen on top of their heads!

    When the plane drops the bomb, you can often hear the whistle when the bomb lands. This sound is because there is a special turbo fuze at the head of the bomb. When it lands, the turbo will rotate and make a whistle.  cry.  But now, these bombs dropped are actually ordinary mortar shells. The warhead does not have such a device, so when it falls, there is no particularly obvious howling sound, but the tail of the shell rubs against the air  , making some slight noises.

    The antiaircraft gunners watched the shells fall with wide eyes.  Almost all the cannonballs are on the retinas of their eyes, and the number is too huge.

    Generally speaking, when planes drop bombs, they like to drop big ones. The bigger the bombs, the more powerful they are.  If you want to attack heavy warships, you must have enough explosives.  The p-51 Mustang fighter jets in front dropped almost all the largest bombs they could carry, and only one bomb was hung on the center line of the belly.  But this kind of bomb cannot be carried by a c-47 transport aircraft.  He can only carry such small mortar shells.

    Mortar shells do not seem to be very useful in an attack of this level.  What effect it will have, no one knows, and it may not even be as great as Li Yunlong's firing on the aircraft carrier's bridge design, which poses a greater threat.

    The mortar shells fell like this.  A shell landed on the emplacement of the anti-aircraft gun.  There was a loud bang, and several gunners on the anti-aircraft gun screamed.  The fragments of the explosion flew across, immediately posing a huge threat to them.  Some had their arms cut off, and some had their stomachs cut.  There was another unlucky guy whose head was blown open.

    Boom, boom, explosions kept ringing.  As if the stars were lighting up the lights, on the deck of this heavy cruiser, there were explosions one after another.

    Some of the mortar shells fell into the water, and only about half of the shells actually fell on the heavy cruiser. For horizontal bombing, this is already very high accuracy. After all, they don't have bombing sights now  , thrown directly by the eye.

    "Baga!" On the bridge, Captain Yoshikawa Zhouji couldn't help cursing when he saw the first bomb exploded on his rear deck.  Then, there were explosions one after another, and the flames of the explosion continued to spread from the back to the front.  heAs soon as he finished shouting, the people around him quickly pushed him down under the chart table.  At the next moment, with a bang, a bomb landed on his bridge just right.  The mast on the top was blown off, and the devil's flag flying high also fell down.

    There was a mess on the bridge, and Captain Yoshikawa Shuyoshi hid under the table, still yelling angrily.  At this time, the explosion continued.

    Those bombs are constantly flying. When they are pushed out from the cabin, there is a sequence. The ones that fall first will explode first, and the ones that fall later will continue to fly forward and explode in front.  .  Therefore, the scene of this kind of bombing looks very spectacular, with explosions one after another, spreading continuously.

    At this time, just in front of the heavy cruiser, in the turret of the 203mm naval gun, a devil's gunner was pushing open the hatch of the turret and looking outside.

    Whether it is a battleship or a cruiser, their weapons are mainly naval guns.  These double-mounted, triple-mounted, and even quadruple-mounted naval guns are quite powerful, but also very fragile. Once the enemy's shells explode to this position, they may sink in the explosion of ammunition.  Therefore, the positions of these naval guns are covered with thick armor.

    At this time, the hatch that the gunner pushed open was a hatch made of thick armored steel plates.  He was very strange and wanted to come out to see what was going on outside.  He didn't know what happened, why were there continuous explosions behind him?

    He absolutely didn't know that this move of his actually ruined their entire warship.  Just as he pushed open the hatch, a mortar shell just fell from the sky and landed on the hatch he opened.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
