Chapter 383 Hood

Ten large ju-290 bombers dropped several large FX2400 gliding guided bombs, and only one was needed to destroy the Royal Ark!

When they flew, they did not fly together, and there was a time difference between them. Therefore, when the first hit the Royal Ark, the second bomb was just thrown down.

And this bomb is aimed at the Hood!

The Hood was also famous in World War II in history, but its reputation was tragic.

On May 24, 1941, the Hood and the Prince of Wales battleship were tracked and intercepted the German Bismarck battleship in the Denmark Strait. They were accurately hit by the gunners above the Bismarck, causing an explosion in the main artillery ammunition depot in the rear, and the hull was broken and quickly sunk.

The sinking of Hood made Bismarck famous. Of course, the victorious Pesmarck did not last long and was soon killed by the Royal Navy.

And the Hood is even more tragic. It has not yet been targeted with any decent record!

The Hood, in the British equipment sequence, is a battlecruiser. This is a very functional new battleship evolved from the basis of armored cruisers.

This is a warship that combines powerful firepower and high maneuver power. It can not only effectively combat enemy harassment, but also quickly deploy and deal with emergencies.

Its design goal is to be faster than the strongest battleship and stronger than the fastest cruiser. If you can fight, you can fight, and if you can’t fight, you can run away.

In reality, after the birth of the Hood, its performance was quite advanced. It has a standard displacement of 40,000 tons, four dual-mounted 381mm main guns and a speed of 31 knots, which is regarded as the pride of the Royal Navy.

And now, in Capas Bay, this warship has also ushered in the most tragic day.

Now, the British Navy has a total of 17 battleships and 3 battlecruisers, which are the largest enemy of the German Navy. In Capas Bay, large targets are first assigned to the first batch of attacking aircraft!

When the air defense alarm sounded, the Hood was also busy.

The British Navy was not ready for war. Like the Royal Ark, most of the sailors were on the shore, and now, on the warships on the docks, there were only a few sailors left on it.

However, the sinking of the Ark of Royal has already alerted everyone. At this time, they have no choice and no way out!

"Quick, hurry, hurry!" Sailor Tom, who had just served for two months, shouted loudly while running towards his position.

Air Defense Alerts, those planes flying in the sky are all coming to bomb their own fleets. At this time, they must fight!

He stepped into his position a few steps and shook his handle quickly.

Compared to the sinking Ark next door, he was still lucky. His weapon was equipped with ammunition.

This is a 4-unit machine gun tower with 4 50-inch 62-caliber machine guns. Compared with other anti-aircraft guns on the Hood, the range of this machine gun is very close, but it does not require the carriage of shells or machine gun bullets, right in the ammunition box next to it!

He was the only one who ran over, and he had to be fast!

While shaking the handle, he opened the ammunition box and stuffed the 7mm bullet chain into the machine gun's chamber. At this moment, he burst out with huge potential.

It's too late, too late!

Listening to the howling sound in the distance, he knew that the bomb was very close to him, so although he only hung two bullet links, he could not hesitate anymore.

The quadruple machine gun is designed to increase the fire density and serve as the final defense to intercept those terrible bombs!

Generally speaking, even a dive bomber will not fly to the range of a machine gun. What he wants to intercept is a bomb!

Holding his breath, Tom's arm hurts, and he covers the target with his sight cross.

It was a bomb, a big bomb that scared everyone!

The round head and the spreading small wings are a little different from ordinary bombs, but just looking at the size of the masses makes people feel deeply afraid. If they are hit by such bombs, the Hood will definitely sink!

At this time, he was the only one of the gun positions on the entire Hood, and the mission to save Hood fell on his shoulders!

At the same time, the sailors on duty in the Hood's wheel compartment were also doing their best to save the warship.

Make a fire!

In the past, warships still used coal-burning boilers, but now, many of them burn heavy oil. Compared with coal-burning, heavy oil is easier to load, but heavy oil boilers are not easy to ignite.

Therefore, this kind of warship is also loaded with part of diesel, which is the process of ignition of diesel first and then igniting heavy oil.

In the Hood chimney, streams of blue smoke were coming out, and diesel was being ignited!

Although it takes a long time to ignite the warship to move, you must not sit still and wait for death!

Just as the battleship was igniting, Tom pressed the machine gun firing switch on his battle position.

"Bangbangbang!" Since there were two machine guns without bullet links, only two machine guns were firing, and 7mm bullets were splashed into the sky!

German guy, come on!

As he opened fire, 7mm bullets spewed out of the muzzle, and the muzzle was filled with flames, machine gun bullets aimed at the flying bomb!

It was difficult to operate alone. Tom felt his arm sore. Now, he had to do his best to hit the bomb that was thrown over!

In theory, even if a four-unit machine gun fires together, it only has a very small hit rate. But now, perhaps his behavior has moved God. Just as he operates the machine gun and keeps firing, the bomb rains covered the route of the bomb flying in front!

Then, the 7mm bullet had an intimate contact with the bomb. The bullet hit the iron shell of the bomb and made a fierce collision sound.

But, it's useless!

The air bombs have an iron shell outside, and this bomb has a total of 2,400 kilograms. Of course, this big bomb will not be stingy with the shell.

Moreover, this kind of bomb will sink tens of thousands of tons of warships! This kind of warship is thick in armor. If you want to sink this kind of warship, then the corresponding aviation bomb should be harder!

Therefore, the iron shell on the outside is thick enough, and the 7mm machine gun bullet is powerless to do anything about it!

However, it is still possible to hit some weak places, such as the wings and the controlled rudder surface!
