Chapter 1163 underwater explosion
In this era, only Cirick was the first to realize the power of carrier-based aviation, vigorously developed aircraft carrier power, and developed various tactics and weapons against battleships. This rocket-boosted bomb weighing a ton is a nemesis tailor-made for battleships.
Diving bombing ensures sufficient accuracy, while a ton of bombs ensures power. All battleships of this era only focus on side armor and ignore the top armor.
What's even more sad is that they didn't even realize the importance of anti-aircraft guns.
After an air force attack led by Cialick, the German Navy gained a deep understanding of all this. The warships built by Germany have very strong air defense. The 128mm and 88mm anti-aircraft guns are responsible for long-range air defense, and the dense 40mm Bofos anti-aircraft guns are responsible for short-range air defense. This continuous rapid-fire gun is the most terrifying threat to the opponent.
But the Soviet Navy did not.
Their 30,000-ton warships only have 6 anti-aircraft guns and 8 anti-aircraft machine guns. Their firepower is so small that it can be ignored. There are many shooting dead corners, and dives from the dead corners to attack, and the success rate is quite high.
In history, the Mara was attacked by Stuka, which caused the ammunition depot to explode and ultimately could not be repaired. As a result, the bow of the ship was cut off and used as a shore defense gun. This is also considered a classic battle example of Rudel. Now, the young German navy air force has killed a battleship of the Red Empire.
While the Mara was attacked, the October Revolution also faced dive attacks from German bombers.
On the October Revolution, anti-aircraft guns were firing violently into the sky. Unfortunately, they could not stop the terrible planes. A Stuka bomber accurately found the other party's shooting dead corner and threw down the bombs he carried.
"Right-right rudder!" Captain Trosky shouted loudly. Now, regardless of how narrow the channel below was, he had to avoid the bombs thrown first.
At this time, the Mara had already experienced a terrible death, which put too much pressure on Trosky.
The huge hull began to tilt to the right, and the ship speed did not decrease at this time, which caused the hull to tilt terriblely.
A warship worth tens of thousands of tons may be tilted by more than ten degrees when the right rudder is full. For the people on the ship, the feeling in their hearts is indescribable.
Everyone grabbed the things around him, hoping not to be thrown away.
It’s okay to say that the people inside the hull will be thrown out if they hit the hull.
For example, on the side of the back deck, an unlucky guy carrying shells was immediately unstable when the hull began to tilt. He took several steps to the right, trying to stabilize his body, but the last step was empty.
He let out a scream and fell from above, and the cold sea water instantly submerged him.
He can't swim.
No one cared about this unlucky guy. The anti-aircraft artillery looked at the sky nervously, watching the bomb dragging the tongue of fire and jumping into the sea water next to the side of the ship on its left, only one or two meters away!
"Boom!" The bomb exploded in the sea.
When everyone heard the explosion, they were frightened. Their hands tightly grasped the place they had just held and did not dare to let go. Sure enough, a terrible vibration came from the hull.
What kind of fuse is the bomb used by the Germans? It can even be detonated in water, and this kind of bomb detonated underwater brings no harm at all.
In the violent explosion, the sea water turned into a terrible shock wave under the impact of the airflow, slapped the bottom of the battleship, and in the waves of sea water, tiny cracks appeared at the bottom of the hull.
In addition to being afraid of dive bombers, battleships were also afraid of torpedoes. This kind of battleship during World War I only focused on the armor on the ship's side and did not pay attention to the parts below the waterline. After all, no shells were fired from underwater.
So during World War II, many old ships added armor under the waterline when they were modified, which was used to prevent torpedoes.
And now, the bomb turned into a torpedo. As the water slapped, a big hole suddenly broke at the bottom of the October Revolution.
This is a cabin in the middle of the hull for storing food. In this cabin, a leader happened to be carrying a bag of potatoes. When the air strike suddenly broke out, he had only time to throw the potatoes down, and the hull began to shake.
Then, a huge explosion echoed throughout the cabin. He felt his ears screaming and could not hear anything.
Then, the sea water poured in from below. Unfortunately, the hull was damaged!
He stood up and ran forward quickly. A dozen steps away, he was climbing the ladder.
The sea water poured in from behind him frantically, he was racing against the sea.
Compared with other sailors, his belly was a little fat, which made him run a little breathless. When he started climbing up the ladder, the sea water had already reached his feet, and the vegetables behind him were floating up.
Climb, climb up quickly!
Just as he used his hands and feet to climb the ladder that was only three meters high, he heard a sound that scared him from above.
"Damage the pipe, damage the pipe immediately, close the cabin door!"
"No!" the leader shouted loudly: "I'm down there!"
He continued to climb up, but the hatch above had already been closed, and the spiral switch was making a squeaking sound, tightened in circles.
"Wait for me!" shouted the leader, finally climbing to the top. He grabbed the ladder with one hand and hit the hatch on the top with the other: "I'm inside, let me out!"
At his feet, the sea water was pouring up turbulently, and his heart was already starting to be scared.
There was no response from above.
"Bang, bang, bang!" He knocked on the hatch door with his hand, trying to let the person above open it, but it was useless, and no one on the top paid attention to him.
He started to twist the hatch door by himself, but it was useless. When it was closed from the outside, the inside could not be opened.
When the sea water poured under his feet, he felt the coldness of the sea water, and became even more afraid, knocking it out loud.
"Let me go up, you guys are murdering!"
Above, the two pale sailors, of course, heard the thrust below, but they dared not open, the sea water was about to surge, and they had no time.
It was a person who died and a warship was sacrificed in the sea water. The answer to this multiple-choice question is very clear.
The sea water continued to pour up, pouring into his chest and head. The body of the leader was soaked in the sea water and was chilling all over. He couldn't hold it in the water anymore and spit bubbles in a bunch. At the same time, the cold sea water also entered his lungs. He coughed and struggled. It didn't take long for this process to blur, his body was stiff, and he fell into boundless darkness.
