"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
On the U.S. battleship, anti-aircraft guns were still firing crazily, and the shells exploded in the air, shooting shrapnel in all directions.
The radio proximity fuze has not been invented yet, so the shells of these anti-aircraft guns use timing fuzes or collision fuzes. The former will explode at a predetermined altitude, while the latter will explode after hitting the aircraft. This also makes it very difficult to hit enemy aircraft with only the anti-aircraft firepower on the warship.
The German aircraft shuttled through the rain of anti-aircraft artillery shells and anti-aircraft machine gun bullets. It seemed dangerous, but in fact it was relatively safe. Especially for flexible fighter jets, they look very heroic and chic as they shuttle through the air defense firepower net. American anti-aircraft artillery shells chased these planes, but there was nothing they could do.
These fighter jets sometimes use aviation machine guns or machine guns to attack exposed anti-aircraft positions, suppress the anti-aircraft firepower on US warships, and create favorable conditions for the attack of dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft.
"Boom!"
A violent explosion sounded, and a "Cleveland-class" light cruiser exploded violently. The huge hull was broken into two pieces during the explosion. Then, it quickly sank into the sea. This is a heavy aviation armor-piercing projectile dropped by a dive bomber, which penetrates the deck armor and explodes inside the battleship. Moreover, it also triggered an explosion in the ammunition depot. As a result, the hull of the "Cleveland-class" light cruiser was blown apart.
Although, the German aircraft did not launch an attack on the capital ship of the US fleet. However, as the losses of these cruisers and destroyers increased, the air defense network around the US battleships had been torn apart by German fighter planes. Once these outer air defense nets are completely torn apart. Then, the next German fighter planes will inevitably attack the battleships at the core.
"General, the German planes are too powerful. We have lost quite a few warships. The 'Baltimore-class' heavy cruisers, the 'Cleveland-class' light cruisers, and the 'Fletcher-class' destroyers are not German at all. Opponents of fighter jets." Major General Kevill looked frustrated.
This feeling of watching one's own warships being sunk one after another is really unacceptable. Although their anti-aircraft firepower is very powerful, it now seems that those anti-aircraft firepower are shooting in vain.
"The Germans also lost a lot of fighter planes! They want to get rid of our cruisers and destroyers first, then attack us, and finally sink all our battleships. This is simply wishful thinking!" Hasben Jinmei Admiral Er said.
Although the loss of the American fleet was great, he also noticed that under their anti-aircraft firepower, the loss of German aircraft was not small. If you continue to fight like this, it is still very possible to resist the attack of the German fighter planes.
What's more, even if all the **** warships on the periphery are lost, the capital ship of the US military is not a lamb to be slaughtered. All of these capital ships have very strong anti-aircraft firepower, and at the same time have stronger defenses. It will be more difficult for German fighter planes to sink these capital ships.
Admiral Hasben Kimmel is still very confident about his battleship.
The battleship "New Hampshire" became the target of a fierce attack by German fighter planes.
Realizing that the loss of his own fighter planes was not small, the commander of the German army issued an order to concentrate his forces to besiege the "New Hampshire". The reason why the target was on the battleship 'New Hampshire' was because the cruisers and destroyers around the battleship had almost been dealt with. Siege of this battleship is relatively less difficult.
"Da da da!"
Several FW-190 fighter jets began to attack the anti-aircraft firepower of the "New Hampshire" battleship in an attempt to suppress the anti-aircraft firepower on this huge battleship.
The bullets from the aviation machine guns strafed the anti-aircraft gun positions of the battleship 'New Hampshire', shooting sparks one by one. Some air defense soldiers were hit and fell screaming in a pool of blood.
However, the anti-aircraft firepower on the "New Hampshire" battleship is also very powerful. In addition to 20 127mm dual-purpose guns, there are also 10 quadruple 40mm anti-aircraft guns and 50 20mm anti-aircraft guns. Supplemented by a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns, the battleship "New Hampshire" can be protected very well.
"Woo!"
There was a shrill howl, and a total of eight dive bombers began to attack the battleship 'New Hampshire'.
Almost at the same time, four torpedo attack aircraft also launched an attack from the left.
"Whoo! Whoo!"
Eight heavy aviation armor-piercing shells slammed into the battleship "New Hampshire". On the surface of the sea, four 533mm heavy torpedoes were rapidly firing at the USS New Hampshire.
At this moment, the battleship "New Hampshire" has already started to turn the rudder, like a bison, rushing from left to right on the sea.
"Boom! Boom!"
There was an explosion, and out of the eight aerial bombs, three hits. Suddenly, thick smoke billowed on the battleship "New Hampshire", and the flames shot into the sky.
At the same time, a 533mm heavy torpedo hit the midship of the USS New Hampshire. Even the 409 mm side armor cannot withstand heavy torpedoes. The explosion tore a hole in the side of the USS New Hampshire. Although, the trauma caused was not great. Especially for a huge battleship with a full load displacement of 72,000 tons, such a loss is insignificant. It is also very difficult to sink it.
However, in the previous battle, when the German Navy dispatched torpedo boats and submarines to launch a sneak attack, the battleship "New Hampshire" had already been torpedoed. It's just that the damage control personnel blocked all the previous damage. Now, being hit by a torpedo again, this is undoubtedly an injury.
The damage control personnel on the battleship "New Hampshire" are also very heroic. Risking their lives, they entered the leaky cabin and tried to plug the leak. Only by plugging the loopholes, and then using the motor to discharge the seawater entering the hull, will it not have a great impact on the performance of the battleship. Otherwise, the only option is to close the watertight compartment. Once the watertight compartment is closed, a large amount of seawater will pour into the hull, which will cause the reserve buoyancy of the battleship to decrease, and will also affect the battleship's combat power. Therefore, they will choose to close the watertight compartment of the battleship only as a last resort.
