Chapter 86: Sad reminder
Naval commander Erich Raidel, cutting-edge general Karl von Dennitz and others were all on the bridge. Even Colonel Gunther Lütjens was on the warship, but the bridge did not have his place. , He was standing in a position on the deck, his eyes fixed on the sky.
The visibility on this day is not very good. The clouds above the head are a bit thick. Now, almost all conditions are beneficial to the aircraft!
Colonel Lütjens remembered his last trip to the East. He admired Cyrek from the bottom of his heart. Therefore, in the navy, Colonel Lütjens also gradually changed his mindset and believed that fighter planes had the advantage over warships. Will get bigger and bigger!
In the distant sky, there was a rumbling sound. From the clouds, a few biplanes came out!
He51 is an aircraft specially launched by Henschel for the Luftwaffe! Unfortunately, the technology of this aircraft is still behind, and the biplane aircraft is facing elimination!
The BMW6 water-cooled engine in front of the nose kept roaring, and the front propeller turned quickly. After drilling out of the clouds, the pilots quickly spotted the target visually in the open cockpit.
"Attention, attack immediately!" Werner Moldels, only 20 years old, shouted out the leader of the formation.
In the later World War II, Germany's aces are countless, and the top ones are all super aces that have shot down more than three hundred. If they only shoot down hundreds of them, they will almost never be ranked.
However, Werner is still the most famous in the Luftwaffe, because he is the first to have a total of one hundred battles. He is also a German ace pilot!
At the beginning, out of propaganda needs, after shooting down a hundred of the battle results, he was hid in the snow, and he was forbidden to continue to fly into the air. His battle results were mainly obtained in Spain and the sky over Britain. not much.
At this time, he was born in 1913, and now is the youngest period. His face is thin. At this time, he wiped the lens on the goggles with the pilot’s scarf, and he pushed the nose.
The sound of woof became dull, and as it dived down, the He51 biplane made waves of roars.
dive attack!
After many studies, Werner has already been quite clear about the Deutsche’s air defense firepower. Three 88 mm anti-aircraft guns and eight 37 mm anti-aircraft guns. These anti-aircraft guns seem to defend the Deutsche like an iron barrel. However, There are gaps in the firepower net of the antiaircraft artillery!
From the top, dive straight down to avoid firepower!
However, for this kind of biplane, it is very dangerous to dive directly. If the speed of this kind of wooden structure is too fast, it will easily disintegrate in the air!
As a German air force pilot, he is not afraid of anything!
Five fighters, aiming at the front of the German class!
The most effective 88mm anti-aircraft guns are arranged on the two sides of the tail and in the middle position. Due to the blockage of the bridge and mast, the front firing area cannot be taken care of at all. Therefore, it can effectively provide antiaircraft gun cover at the front. Yes, only 37mm anti-aircraft guns!
"Attention, find the target!" At this moment, at every gun position, the commander holding the telescope was shouting loudly. The reticle in the telescope showed that the biplanes were quite clear.
"Direction 0-3-6, deviate two close positions to the right, height 75, shoot!"
Shoot!
Following the commander's order, the gunner stepped on the trigger.
"Boom! Boom!" Two artillery sounds, two antiaircraft artillery shells with trainer warheads flew up.
Not bad, only two!
Because this 37mm antiaircraft gun uses a hand puller!
What does mean? It's single shot loading!
At this time, there was a loader standing next to him, and a nursery bag was slung around the loader's neck with a cannonball inside. After this cannonball was fired, the second one was urgently loaded!
The hand speed is fast enough, even the index given by the anti-aircraft artillery design unit can reach 80 rounds per minute, but in fact, it is absolutely genius to be able to shoot 8 rounds per minute!
This is the sad German shipborne antiaircraft gun! The hand drawn machine criticized by countless people in later generations! Single shot loading! Thought it was a sniper rifle? The other antiaircraft guns are at least five-round magazines! If you want to hit a target in the air, you have to shoot more continuously!
Needless to say, the current Deutsche, and even the later Bismarck, used the same hand puller!
At the beginning, after the construction of the Bismarck was completed, it sailed formidable and killed the Hood in the first battle. As a result, the steering gear was hit by an old-fashioned biplane "Swordfish" torpedo on the aircraft carrier "Ark Royal". It caused inconvenience in the course of operation, and was finally "beaten to death" by the British local fleet.
You don’t need to feel the fate of Bismarck, just think about it, and you will know the performance of the 37mm anti-aircraft gun used in Germany! The biplanes can't even hit it!
And now, facing the He51 that burst out above, dozens of anti-aircraft guns fired together. It seemed that the scene was spectacular enough. The fire spurted from the muzzle, which made people feel a kind of majesty. Able to knock down the plane!
But ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ tracer anti-aircraft shells flew by, far away from He51!
The three 88mm anti-aircraft guns behind only fired two or three rounds and stopped firing, which had exceeded their range of fire!
And the several 37mm anti-aircraft guns in front were still shooting slowly, one shot after another, and before the opponent's attack came, they fired out an amazing five rounds!
Five shots!
If it is the Bofors 40mm gun, the maximum rate of fire is 150 rounds per minute, and the actual rate of fire is about 110 rounds per minute. The firepower density is strong enough, and the current hand pull machine can hit the target in the sky. It's a super explosion of character!
Moreover, now the warship is constantly shaking, which makes it more difficult to aim and shoot! Every high artillery soldier is shooting at full force at this time, but no matter how hard they work, they are all useless!
Werner felt the rushing cold wind. At this time, his plane had already flown through the opponent's firepower net. On the sea, the outline of the big ship was so clear!
Drop a bomb!
Werner pressed the button, and the two bombs hung in the abdomen of the fuselage fell down leisurely!
After dropping the bomb, Werner slowly pulled the lever, and the current speed has reached 500 kilometers per hour! The maximum level flight speed of this aircraft is only 330 kilometers per hour! At this current speed, the overload is slightly enlarged, and the aircraft may disintegrate!
And now, his height is already very low. While pulling up, he flipped over, almost seeing his wing, which had to be wiped to the sea before returning to level flight!
Just now, if you slow down a little bit, you will be in close contact with the sea and the plane will be destroyed! It's really exciting!
followed him, and the second He51 also dropped the bomb!
