Chapter 383: Hood

Ten large JU-290 bombers dropped several large FX2400 gliding guided bombs. Only one of them was needed to destroy the Royal Ark!
When they came, they didn't fly together. There was a time difference between the front and back. Therefore, when the first bomb hit the Royal Ark, the second bomb was just dropped.
And this bomb, aimed at, is the Hood!
The Hood was also famous in the history of World War II, but its reputation is tragic.
In history, on May 24, 1941, the Hood and the battleship Prince of Wales tracked and intercepted the German battleship Bismarck in the Danish Strait, and was accurately hit by the gunner on the Bismarck, causing an explosion in the rear main battery magazine. The fracture sank quickly.
The sinking of the Hood made Bismarck's reputation. Of course, the victorious Bismarck did not last long, and was quickly swept up by the Royal Navy and killed.
The current Hood is even more tragic. It has not yet had a decent record and has been targeted!
The Hood, in the British equipment sequence, belongs to the battlecruiser, which is a new type of battleship with strong functionality evolved on the basis of the armored cruiser.
This is a battleship with a combination of powerful firepower and high mobility. It can not only effectively combat the enemy's harassment, but also can quickly deploy to deal with emergencies.
Its design goal is to be faster than the strongest battleship and stronger than the fastest cruiser. Fight if you can, and run if you can't.
In practice, after the Hood was born, its performance was quite advanced. It has a standard displacement of 40,000 tons, four twin-mounted 381mm main guns and a speed of 31 knots. It is regarded as the Royal Navy’s. proud.
And now, in Karpas Bay, this warship has also ushered in its most tragic day.
Now, the British Navy has a total of 17 battleships and 3 battlecruisers. This is the biggest enemy of the German Navy. In Karpas Bay, large targets were first assigned to the first attack aircraft!
When the air defense sirens sounded, the Hood was also busy.
The British Navy is not ready for war. Like the Royal Ark, most of the sailors are on the shore. Now, on the warships on the docks, only a few sailors remain on it.
However, the sinking of the Royal Ark has given everyone a warning. At this time, they have no choice but no way out!
"Quick, quick, quick!" Sailor Tom, who had just served for two months, yelled loudly, and ran toward his position quickly.
The air defense alert, the planes flying in the sky, are all coming to bomb your own fleet. At this time, you must fight!
He stepped into his position in a few steps and shook the crank quickly.
Compared with the sinking Royal Ark next door, he was lucky. His weapon was equipped with ammunition.
This is a 4-gang machine gun tower with four 0.50-inch 62-diameter machine guns. Compared with other antiaircraft guns on the Hood, this machine gun has a very short range, but it does not need to carry shells. The machine gun bullet is in the ammunition box next to it!
He was the only one who ran over, and he must be fast!
While shaking the crank, he opened the ammunition box and stuffed the 12.7mm bullet chain into the barrel of the machine gun. At this juncture, he exploded with great potential.
It's too late, it's too late!
Listening to the howling in the distance, he knew that the bomb was already very close to him, so even though he only hung up two bullet chains, he couldn't hesitate anymore.
The quadruple machine gun is to increase the firepower density, as the last defense, intercept those terrible bombs!
Generally speaking, even if it is a dive bomber, it will not fly into the range of a machine gun. What he wants to intercept is a bomb!
Holding his breath, Tom's arm was sore, and he covered the target with the cross of his sight.
That is a bomb, a big bomb that scares everyone!
The chubby head and the spreading wings are a little different from ordinary bombs, but just by looking at the size, people have a deep fear in their hearts. If they are hit by such a bomb, the Hood will definitely Got to sink!
At this time, on the entire Hood, only his gun position was ready, and the task of saving the Hood fell on his shoulders!
At the same time, in the wheel compartment of the Hood, the sailors on duty here are also doing their best to save the warship.
Make a fire!
In the past, battleships still used coal-fired boilers. Now, many of them burn heavy oil. Compared with coal, heavy oil is easier to load. However, heavy oil boilers are not easy to ignite.
Therefore, this kind of battleship is also loaded with a part of diesel fuel, first ignite the diesel fuel, and then ignite the heavy fuel.
From the chimney of the Hood, there was a puff of blue smoke coming out, and the diesel was being ignited!
Although it takes a long time from lighting up to moving the warship, you must not sit still!
Just as the battleship ignited, Tom was in his battle position and pressed the firing switch of the machine gun.
"Tom Tom Tom!" Since two machine guns were not equipped with ammunition chains, only two machine guns were firing, and the 12.7mm bullets spilt into the sky!
German, come on!
As he fired ~EbookFREE.me~ one by one 12.7mm bullets spurted out of the muzzle, the muzzle was full of flames, and the machine gun bullets aimed at the flying bomb!
It is very difficult to operate alone, Tom felt his arm sore, and now, he can only do his best to hit the bomb that was thrown over!
In theory, even if the machine guns fired together in quadruple guns, they have only a small hit rate. But now, perhaps his behavior touched God. When he operated the machine guns and kept firing, the bullet rain , Covering the route of the bomb flying ahead!
Then, the 12.7 mm bullet came into close contact with the bomb, and the bullet hit the iron shell of the bomb, making a fierce collision.
But it's no use!
Aviation bombs have an iron shell on the outside, and this bomb weighs a full 2,400 kilograms. Of course, this kind of big bomb will not be stingy with the shell.
Moreover, this kind of bomb is meant to sink tens of thousands of tons of warships! This kind of warship has thick armor. If you want to sink this kind of warship, then the corresponding aerial bomb should be harder!
Therefore, the outer iron shell is thick enough, and the 12.7mm machine gun bullet is powerless at all!
However, it is still possible to hit certain weak places, such as the wings of the missile, such as the control rudder surface!
