Chapter 476： Ready to use naval gun (1/2)
Originally, the Deutsche Vessel meant to act as a decoy, but now, the Deutsche Vessel's decoy has the possibility of being actually eaten!
The tail has been damaged, and the speed of the battleship has been greatly reduced, which of course means a greater risk, and now, not only to prevent the opponent's naval gun attack, there may also be a second battleship duel.
Who knows what's in the opponent's formation. I thought it was safe. As a result, there were aircraft carriers in the formation. Then, would there be battleships with more than 10,000 tons?
This is hard to say.
”Captain, Bruce is here.” Just as he was thinking, a sailor came in with a captive.
Bruce’s fight just now proved his loyalty. If it weren’t for him, the Deutsche Deutschland would have caught the first torpedo. Now, watching Bruce come in, Colonel Stanger changed his expression: ”Bruce, you did a great job, your battle deeds will spread throughout Germany.”
”Captain, I have a proposal.” Bruce said to Stange: ”Now, while the opponent's carrier-based aircraft returns, we can dispatch the reconnaissance aircraft to find their position, and then guide our naval guns to counterattack the opponent's fleet.”
The current Bruce is completely thinking about the German ship. After all, if this warship sinks, they will have to die with it.
The speed of the battleship has slowed down. It is conceivable that this batch of returning carrier-based aircraft will definitely attract more enemies. As long as the opposing commander has enough courage, he should know that this is a good time to beat down the dog. According to the usual practice, the British fox has this impulse.
So they will definitely come!
Anyway, I can't run fast. Instead of being chased by the opponent, it is better to take advantage of the night and open fire at them!
The 283 mm naval gun on the Deutsche Vessel has a maximum range of 40 kilometers. The data varies, some say 36 kilometers, and some say 20 kilometers. ), but this distance is beyond the visual distance, so even in the daytime, if the gun is fired at this distance, it needs to be guided by a reconnaissance plane.
In this era, large warships are equipped with reconnaissance aircraft, which are used to provide naval gun guidance.
Obviously, Bruce didn’t know that the German warships had been equipped with complete radars, and could search for traces of the British fleet nearby. His proposal was to hurry up and launch the reconnaissance plane and chase behind the British plane’s buttocks to find the British fox formation. And then attack them!
It can be said that this scheme has a high probability of success, and Stanger is really tempted.
”Captain, telegram.” At this moment, a telegrapher handed him the telegram he had just received.
When he got this telegram, Stanger was instantly pleased: ”Bruce, your suggestion is good, but now, we don't need to worry.”
Bruce nodded and retreated. He had already guessed it. The German counterattack was also very fast. It seems that I am more worried.
Since this warship will be safe and sound, he doesn't need to worry about anything, and let's blow his deck wind!
The night sky is still dark, flying in the dark night is a test of flying skills.
For example, relying entirely on meters, rather than your own intuition, at this time, intuition is unreliable.
Pilot Philip felt that the sweat on his back was soaked, and he felt that it was really lucky that he could come back alive.
He was carrying a bomb, braving so much anti-aircraft fire from the Deutsche Bahn, to dive down and drop the bomb. It took a lot of courage. Fortunately, he did. He dived and dropped the bomb.
