Chapter 1166 Transfer Target 2)
Under the huge inertia, the nose of the Stuka bomber was flattened. In the blazing fire, the indesistible bomb under the belly finally hit the armor of the turret.
In addition to allowing the bomb to land on the warship faster, thereby reducing the chance of the warship's maneuver to get rid of, the more important thing is to allow the bomb to accelerate. After all, battleships are armoured and at high speed, they can increase the probability of penetration. Exploding on the opponent's surface and explosion inside the opponent's internal effect is a world of difference.
Now that it has not left the mount, the bomb will not be unlocked, and it will not be able to activate the rocket booster device. Therefore, it is just an ordinary bomb, but this bomb is a bit heavy.
Bombs alone are one ton. If even the aircraft is included, the weight has exceeded five tons. When such a bomb falls, it will hit the battleship very strongly.
After a violent impact, the hanger was finally untied. The bomb was ignited according to the newly designed procedure. The rocket engine at the tail was ignited. The bomb only had time to move forward for one meter and then had close contact with the turret.
At this time, the surface of the turret had begun to burn, and the high temperature made the turret's armor soft. In this case, a ton of bombs actually smashed a large hole without any trouble and fell from it and entered the inside of the turret.
The rocket booster engine at the tail is still igniting, and the entire bomb is like a rocket, and it is whizzing in.
"Boom!" The turret was blown away with a huge explosion, and this explosion may have even more terrible consequences. The death of the ammunition depot will make it sink into the seawater in a few minutes, just like the Mara.
However, its fate is actually better than that of the Mara.
With the explosion, the entire battleship trembled violently. The damaged bottom of the ship instantly appeared in large areas. Countless sea water poured in and rushed to various cabins, covering the ammunition warehouse at the bottom of the turret.
The launching medicine and warheads in the ammunition warehouse were soaked in sea water, and it was impossible to explode.
The October Revolution was intact as a whole. Apart from the devastating damage of the turret, it made people feel a little nasty, at least there was no place for the body and head.
However, it is sinking as a whole.
The first bomb had damaged its bottom, and the vibration caused by the second explosion made its bottom irrescue. The sea water was constantly pouring in through the cracks below. It was only a matter of time before the sinking of the warship.
The number of Stuka bombers was not large, and the two Soviet battleships they were targeting were scrapped. At this time, dive bombers continued to jump out in the clouds.
These two battleships are the main battleships of the Soviet Baltic Fleet. The other warships have a displacement of only 10,000 tons, just some destroyers and frigates, and there are not many targets worth attacking.
After wandering around the sea, the remaining pilots reluctantly prepared to find their targets to dive and prepare to throw their bombs on those small targets.
At this moment, an order came from their headphones: "Be careful, change the target, attack the shore defense cannons on the shore, and leave other warships to our fleet."
At this time, in the distance, where the sea and sky connect, a fleet could be seen rushing to the sky, and that was the fleet of our side.
Leave these small warships to their own warships for bombardment. The cost of shells is very low. They want to strike more effective targets, namely the cannons on the shore.
Shore defense cannons are the most effective way to control the coast, especially waterways like Kronstadt. There are many such shore defense cannons standing in the fortification communities on both sides of the shore.
The largest of them is four triple-mounted 305mm cannons, just like the naval guns of battleships. Only one turret can be seen from the outside, but each tower-shaped fortification is a whole underground city.
Each fortress has a 3-meter-thick concrete shell, some fortifications of up to 7 floors. The interior facilities are complete, including: hospital, shower, kitchen, dining room and living rooms. Each fortress has its own diesel generator and has its own power and water supply system. In addition, special filters and ventilation systems are installed to ensure that people stay in the fortress for 1 week in the case of toxic pollution.
Such a shore defense gun community would be a great threat to German warships. Now, instead of attacking those small-body warships, the remaining bombers should attack these fortifications on the shore.
"Understand." After receiving the new order, they immediately became excited. Each shore defense artillery position was as spectacular as a battleship, but the difference was that a considerable number of anti-aircraft artillery positions were deployed on these shore defense artillery positions.
Adding anti-aircraft guns to their warships requires entering the shipyard to modify. It costs a lot and is almost linked to the mid-term improvement of the warships.
However, adding anti-aircraft guns to the shore artillery position is simple. Just push the towed anti-aircraft guns over and unfold them.
At this time, the shore defense artillery positions are also ready for battle.
They were very worried. They watched the German bombers rage in the sky and the battleships on their sides were sunk, but they just couldn't help.
Their naval guns could not hit the plane, and their anti-aircraft guns were not within range, so they could only watch the German bombers exploded their two main battleships, and their eyes were full of anger.
Just when they were full of fighting, the Germans actually gave up bombing other warships and came towards their shore defense artillery positions. This was simply a search for a fight.
"Note, target, direction 2-7-0, distance 8, height 37, aim." On the anti-aircraft gun position on the side of the shore defense gun, four 37mm m1939 anti-aircraft guns had been deployed. On the front observation deck of the anti-aircraft gun position, the company commander of the artillery company shouted loudly. He held his telescope and looked at the German bomber flying over.
World War II was quite tragic, and the Soviet-German battlefield was even more tragic. On the Soviet land, Germany lost tens of thousands of aircraft and countless pilots sprinkled blood in the sky. However, what really caused the Germans to suffer heavy losses was not the Soviet air force, but the Soviet air defense anti-aircraft artillery.
The current anti-aircraft gun has shot down more than 15,000 German aircraft, and it is Stuka's number one opponent.
Now, the Soviet air defense weapon is preparing to launch an attack on German bombers.
