Imperial Overlord

What is the tiger into the flock? When the German battleships began shelling the British convoys, it was probably a faithful portrayal of the word.

The destroyers of the British Navy did fight back hard, but they couldn't get close enough to the lethal distance to launch the torpedoes.

When there were constant threats from aircraft overhead, these destroyers seemed so powerless when faced with the secondary guns of battleships with a caliber of at least 150 mm or more.

Don't think that American destroyers can scare away Japanese battleships in naval battles, but really think that destroyers can fight battleships head-on in broad daylight.

Don't be kidding... It was the American Air Force who didn't know when to scare away the Japanese battleships, not the tenacious speedboats and destroyers...

The pressure that aviation brought to Japanese warship commanders did not appear in the minds of German warship commanders at this time.

On the contrary, their skies have never been so safe! Three two-plane formations, that is, 6 fw-190t fighter jets escorted above their heads, are not afraid of the annoying swordfish of the British.

Therefore, at this time, Lindeman really felt the grandeur of being an imperial navy.

"Fire! Pay attention to the torpedoes fired by the enemy! Adjust the course! Keep the bow facing the enemy! Don't use all your firepower!" In order to avoid being hit by the British torpedoes, Lindeman still commanded his warship very carefully.

The bow of the battleship can avoid the enemy's torpedoes and minimize the enemy's attack area. Although it can't use all its firepower, can the bow firepower of the battleship Bismarck still crush several destroyers?

Those are four 381mm main guns! Whether it is precision or power, it is one of the best in the Atlantic this year.

Although it is not as good as the shallow sea running ship Nelson, it is definitely not something that two destroyers can compete with. If the destroyers really have the ability to fight against the battleships of the opposing army, what are the navies of all countries doing so desperately to build battleships?

When the Bismarck battleship was mentioned in later generations, most criticisms focused on its pitiful anti-aircraft firepower and serious waste of battleship tonnage.

Despite being afraid of the torpedoes on the destroyer, Bismarck did not rush into the distance, maintaining a distance of about 10 kilometers, using her own artillery to consume the British **** force. But its powerful artillery still made the British depressed to the limit.

The Germans carefully designed the secondary artillery, which can concentrate four turrets in the front, eight artillery pieces to attack, plus four 381 mm caliber main artillery pieces, more than the artillery pieces on the three destroyers.

When originally designed, Bismarck's 6 secondary turrets could shoot straight ahead, but because some junk was piled up on the deck, the two turrets at the back could not fire straight ahead...

Facts have proved that sometimes the pile of junk things happens not only in the corridors of China, but also on foreign warships...

It can be said responsibly that the fact that China's Beiyang Fleet was drying quilts on the gun barrels is basically nonsense, while the fact that lifeboats are stuffed next to the secondary guns of the German battleship Bismarck is 80% true.

Lindemann was able to play as the captain of the Bismarck battleship in real history, and was naturally a very good commander.

At this moment, when he has the advantage, he is not in a hurry to eat the opponent, but eats the transport fleet as much as possible on the premise of maintaining no damage.

This is a good time. The German Navy's unrestrained style of play, and the fragility and density of its own transport fleet, make the British Navy's **** fleet really have no capital to fight for.

"Boom!" Against this kind of fleet, the 381mm main gun on the Bismarck is definitely not the main force. Its role is similar to that of atomic bomb deterrence.

What really puts pressure on the enemy ship is the 150mm secondary gun that is equipped with a more accurate level of sight and is rapidly firing.

The rate of fire of these secondary guns is too fast, and they have heavy armor protection that is not available on small boats such as destroyers, so they take too much advantage in the battle of firepower.

The aiming of warships in the World War II era relied on optical equipment. The larger the volume of the optical device and the longer the baseline, the more reliable the aiming accuracy is in general.

The huge collimator on the battleship is much more precise and accurate than the one on the destroyer. After all, the destroyer does not need to fight against enemy surface targets 10 kilometers away...

Over time, one transport ship after another burst into flames - these ships were not armored.

For them, whether it is a 280mm caliber cannon, or a 203mm caliber cannon, even a 150mm caliber shell is lethal.

Never doubt the ability of modern weapons and ammunition to damage non-military targets. For example, in real time and space, the 37mm caliber anti-aircraft guns equipped by the Chinese navy shoot flat fire on enemy ships, and a shell hits the broadside of ordinary ships. A hole the size of a washbasin!

German submarines can use the 105 and 88 mm caliber deck guns they are equipped to rob in the Atlantic Ocean. Now they are replaced by guys with larger calibers, and the effect is of course not very good.

The bridge of a British Navy destroyer was directly hit by a 280mm caliber that flew over. The huge kinetic energy caused the shell to tear open the entire bridge, and then exploded in the chimney behind the bridge.

This old British destroyer, which was aided by the US Navy, was only left on the water after this explosion.

What I have to say is that although the Bismarck and the Tirpitz battleships on both sides seem to be ferocious and tyrannical, like two dragons entering the sea, the real deadly ones are Prinz Eugen and Gneisenau. Battlecruiser.

The artillery caliber of these two warships is smaller, but they are better than the amazing rate of fire. Moreover, when using high-explosive bombs, the artillery of the two warships is capable of meeting, which is simply against the sky for targets without armor protection!

Please do not underestimate the faith and perseverance of the Germans to break the war, and do not underestimate the wisdom of the Germans! Under the appearance of large ships and small cannons, the German Navy has always had such a heart of a new house to abuse vegetables!

In order to exert the power of naval guns in the battle, the German Navy prepared high-explosive ammunition for large-caliber artillery with poor armor-piercing performance.

This ammunition is used exclusively against enemy destroyers and unarmored merchant ships. Violent explosions would set off a bloodbath that ripped apart the steel plates of these ships, inflicting massive damage.

If you compare those merchant ships and destroyers to gangsters with only a few drops of blood left in cs, Germany is the policeman who bought shotguns to get cheap...

Over time, one British destroyer after another sank under the fire of German battleships.

The huge British transport fleet is like a flock of sheep that has lost the protection of hounds. It looks huge, but it has no power to fight back.

However, in the face of such a huge fleet of thirty or forty transport ships left, someone has to break the game.

Compared with the two delicate battleships, the Prinz Eugen took the lead, using its flexible posture to rush towards the British naval transport fleet.

After half an hour of artillery battle, 80% of the British destroyers had lost their combat capability. Except for a few lucky ships that are still saving themselves, the rest are only the masts exposed on the sea.

The so-called auspicious German Prinz Eugen sped up first, splitting the British convoy from the center. The secondary guns on both sides of it open bows from left to right, as if entering a land of no one.

At this time, the British transport ship that exploded, listened to the sound and could tell what the cargo was carrying.

The earth-shattering explosions transported 80% of the ammunition materials such as artillery shells. From time to time, even cars were lifted into the sky by the explosion and fell down, which looked very spectacular.

The sound is slightly lower, but the thick smoke billows and burns violently, and it is the ship that transports fuel. These boats burn crisply, dazzlingly, and burn for a long time...

The muffled and muffled battleship ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is sinking very fast, either for transporting steel or grain.

Of course, there are also unsinkable ships - two interesting transport ships hoisted white flags, indicating that they can consider being a prisoner, and do not want to die in the icy ocean like this.

Twenty kilometers away, Lütjens, who had learned that his battleship had annihilated the British transport fleet unscathed, had a smile on his face that could no longer be described as bright.

Now, his fleet has achieved greater results than any previous sailings. The news from the pilots was unexpectedly consistent - "The British fleet is over!"

Whoever looks at it, the British tc transport fleet at this time has been completely destroyed. Except for the sinking ship on the sea, the rest were hung with white flags, waiting for their final fate.

Lütjens really wanted to **** the ships back to Germany if conditions allowed. But he has not been carried away by the victory, knowing that there is a belated British home fleet behind him.

There is no way to go back to France with these fuel tanks. Lütjens knows better than anyone the importance of speed for inferior fleets in the process of survival.

"We don't have time to capture prisoners." Standing beside Lütjens, Hines reminded kindly.

Lütjens smiled and nodded, agreeing with the suggestion of the "Führer's disciple" beside him: "Don't think about robbing things, order those boats to put down the lifeboats and let everyone abandon the boat. Then fire and sink all the boats, and immediately leave here!"

After an hour of fierce fighting, the British Swordfish attack aircraft finally arrived at the battlefield. But they didn't see any German warships.

Because as early as 20 minutes ago, the German Nuremberg rescued about 100 British drowning people and left the battlefield at full speed.
