Chapter 475 Bruce's Counterattack
The torpedo is dropped from the carrier and falls freely. The speed of entering the water is the speed of entering the water. The angle of entering the water refers to the angle between the thunder body and the water surface when the head of the torpedo enters the water. These two factors directly determine whether the torpedo can work normally after entering the water.
After all, the structural strength of the torpedo is limited. If the inlet speed and angle are too large, the torpedo will be inserted directly into the water, which may damage the internal structure or damage the shell, and shallow water may touch the seabed.
An excessively small inlet angle and excessively large speed will cause the torpedo to "float" the water surface, which will cause the torpedo to be damaged.
Now, the most common torpedo in the UK is the best placement standard for the highest 40-meter height and a speed of 260km/h, which is just paired with the swordfish.
Therefore, Bruce does not need to aim directly at the opponent, but aims at the opponent's throwing route and then fires!
Bruce did all this skillfully.
In the distance, the torpedo aircraft is also undergoing final preparations before launch.
Ted's attack angle was just right. When the light flares lit up, he saw the target in the goggles. Then, he slowly pushed the goggles away, his eyes adapted to the strong light, and he had entered the final attack route!
Continue to fly forward, lower the altitude, push the nose, and allow the torpedo to enter the water at a suitable angle!
This is simply a perfect attack!
Let the torpedo be launched normally at an angle of 14 degrees!
Ted counted silently in his heart, and in another five seconds, he could leave.
At this moment, a fierce light of fire appeared on the warship opposite, and it was the anti-aircraft guns that were firing!
Open fire!
Bruce stepped on the firing device, and amid the sound of the toner, a 40mm Bofos anti-aircraft gun, and balls of flames emerged from the muzzle.
Among the three grenades, there was a tracer armor-piercing bomb mixed with it, so now you can clearly see the ballistic. Bruce knew that he would definitely hit him!
"Boom!" A 40mm grenade accurately hit the swordfish's nose, smashed the propeller, and drilled into the engine behind.
Ted couldn't believe it at this time. The other party opened fire and hit him like this. How could this be possible?
Black smoke emerged from the engine in front, and he never had the chance to throw a torpedo again. Before the plane was about to fall, he quickly jumped out of his cockpit.
The open cockpit is the easiest to jump off the machine!
In fact, in this dark night, jumping into the sea is not a big chance of survival, but after all, it is better than falling directly with the plane.
It was a neat way, and one shot was fired, and 12 shells were killed, and a British torpedo aircraft was killed!
Bruce did not hesitate at all, shook the directional aircraft, and soon aimed at another torpedo aircraft and fired again!
The dense shells flew towards the torpedo plane. When they found that the fire was on here, the swordfish torpedo plane actually threw away the torpedo, then lowered the operating rod, flew at a height of several meters on the sea surface, and staggered to avoid Bruce's attack.
"Good!" said the commander in the cannon position beside Bruce. At this time, his eyes had adapted to the light of the flares, and the burning fireballs on the sea, which showed that Bruce had just killed the torpedo plane flying from the opposite side at the critical moment!
Without Bruce, the consequences would be unimaginable!
At this time, other anti-aircraft artillery positions finally started to fire!
"Bang, bang." The 40mm anti-aircraft shells were flying in the sky, and the flames flew out, drawing beautiful trajectories in the air. If you look from the outside, you can find that the German at this time had become a hedgehog!
The sixteen-door Bofos 40mm anti-aircraft gun is quite powerful. Now it is fully powered. It is very difficult for any aircraft to break through its firepower network!
Although the torpedo aircraft does not need to be particularly close, it is still within the control range of the Bofos anti-aircraft gun! Moreover, it also has a 105mm anti-aircraft gun!
The sky gradually dimmed, and the time for the flares to burn was limited. Just as the surroundings were about to dark, the second flare was released.
The whole sky illuminates again.
Almost at the same time, the 105mm anti-aircraft gun on the Germans also opened fire in the sky.
"Boom, boom!" The 105mm shell flew into the sky. Even if the searchlight was not used, the light of the flares could cover the swordfish that threw the flares!
A big fireball shone in the sky, and a 105mm high-explosive bomb directly exploded the swordfish!
The light of the flare was still there, just providing guidance to the German anti-aircraft artillery soldiers. They attacked fiercely, and another swordfish fell from the air!
Three of the 12 swordfishes that attacked have been lost. Generally speaking, they should give up the attack.
However, they did not give up!
When the flares' light darkened again, their attack began!
At this time, the Germans had nowhere to hide, so they could only turn on the searchlight and shine on the sky around them. In the gap of the searchlight, the remaining swordfish launched a suicide attack!
"Bang, bang!" Bruce was still firing. This time, with the help of the searchlight, his anti-aircraft artillery shells hit a swordfish attack aircraft again!
The other party was burning and falling towards the sea. In the burning fire of the swordfish, Bruce was surprised to see that in another darkness, another swordfish had thrown down the torpedo!
"Note that there are torpedoes to attack!" Bruce shouted loudly: "Starctic, three hundred meters away!"
There are torpedoes!
After receiving this alarm, Stanger immediately ordered the left full rudder to be at full speed, but he still did not dodge!
"Boom!" This torpedo exploded violently in the rear of the Deutsch!
For any warship, it attaches importance to armor protection on the upper layer of the water surface. The protection under the water line is not strong, but a torpedo can still be carried down!
The explosion killed three sailors, damaged the diesel unit in the rear, and the speed of the ship fell.
Everyone on the warship had a sigh of surviving the disaster. The pressure was far greater than that during the day when they were subjected to air strikes at night. Although they had taken sufficient protective measures, they were still hit by a torpedo!
"Thank you for your help." The German commander said to Bruce on the anti-aircraft gun position: "I will report your heroic action to my superiors. You may even get an Iron Cross because of this action."
Bruce shook his head: "The danger has not passed yet. Now, our speed is slow, and the other party may catch up and bombard it."
