Chapter 1568 Smashed

Attacking with ballistic missiles is inherently contingent. After a long-distance flight, it is normal for the warhead to have a certain deviation. With the excellence of German experts, the circumferential error was reduced to three kilometers, which is already a problem. Miracle.

Therefore, the use of ballistic missiles to fight aircraft carriers in future generations is a desperate choice, a choice that lacks normal equipment.

Now, Germany's attack is still low in accuracy, and in order to improve the accuracy, it is necessary to use the method of covering strikes. Twenty shots at a time, even if only half of the hits, can make the opponent suffer a heavy blow.

The fact is also true, about ten or so missiles were shot, and only ten hit the target, of which only four or five were effectively hit.

Warehouses and oil tanks have turned the entire base into a sea of ​​fire, and now, the luckiest missile is coming towards Essex!

The half-ton warhead has about 200 kilograms of shell, and the remaining 300 kilograms are high explosives.

The outside is also covered with a layer of burned black thermal insulation material. During the re-entry process, this layer of material burns, and the internal heat is taken away through the combustion, so that the internal temperature of the warhead remains normal, and now, first Needless to say, a half-ton warhead, when it flies down at speeds in excess of Mach 15, even a single bullet will have a powerful and terrifying energy!

Its front end squeezed the air, and the air continued to squeeze forward until it reached the deck. The boatmen on the deck already felt that the situation was not good. Then, everyone's pupils were enlarged, and the terrifying warhead was just right. smashed up!

In an attack, the probability of such an event happening is quite small, it is almost the same as hitting mosquitoes with anti-aircraft artillery. Now, it can only be said that God did not bless the Americans.

The warhead of the sub-bomb will explode in mid-air, forming a large-area coverage effect, but the high-explosive warhead will not. This warhead rushes straight down, with a terrible impact, hitting the Essex. on the deck.

When the warhead touched the deck, a huge impact force came. The impact force on the entire hull was almost equal to five times the gravity of the hull itself. The surrounding sea water made a humming sound, surging outward in waves. The hull was already rushing down inconceivably.

As an outfitting dock, the water depth is only a dozen meters. Under this terrible impact, the huge hull began to rush down, pushing the surrounding sea water outward, and everyone on the deck felt the fear in their hearts.

terrible!

If the hull is impacted into contact with the bottom of the water, it will be traumatized and the hull will fail.

This is horrible.

However, there is something more terrifying than that.

Just a short contact, the deck of the huge aircraft carrier could no longer bear it. During the downward collision of the hull, the warhead had smashed the wooden deck at the top and continued to descend.

If it is a bomb specially used for anti-ship, then it will have an armor-piercing warhead, delay the fuse, and penetrate into the interior of the opponent's warship before exploding.

But now, this is just an ordinary high-explosive warhead that explodes on contact.

After all, even the No. 14 unit that launched it did not expect the luck of the first attack to be so good.

After smashing through the deck, the warhead exploded.

"Boom!" 300 kilograms of high explosives detonated instantly, and under the deck of the entire aircraft carrier, a fiery golden flame quickly spread outward from the center of the explosion.

When the aircraft carrier was built, it had a special anti-strike design. If it was a bomb dropped by an aircraft, even if it was one ton, it could be hard to hold.

But not now, because when the warhead came down, it had fifteen times the speed of sound!

Even if it doesn't blow up, it will have a destructive and irreversible impact on the overall structure of the aircraft carrier if it hits it all at once. The hull of the aircraft carrier has actually cracked one after another, and the structure has suffered huge damage. fixed.

And now, when it exploded, the huge air wave, with high pressure, instantly tore the cracked part.

If you look from a distance, with the impact position as the center, at a speed visible to the naked eye, the aircraft carrier will have huge cracks like sawdust falling down, and then under the action of its own gravity, the aircraft carrier will break from the middle. .

In an instant, the surrounding sea swirled, and the aircraft carrier, which was outfitting, began to sink downward, and the sea rushed in frantically.

Most of the boatmen came out ahead of time, but there were also a small number of boatmen who were still working on the inside. They were trapped in the cabin and had no time to come out. The turbulent sea water submerged every cabin.

The dark port was illuminated by firelight. The entire shipyard was full of fires. The fire alarm was sounding, and the entire port was in chaos.

At this time, many pilots also witnessed this scene at the aviation base a few kilometers away from the shipyard.

Tonight was training at night. When Roy stepped into the cockpit, he saw a falling meteor from outer space. At that time, he immediately climbed out and stood on his plane wing, looking into the distance for a long time. speechless.

The ballistic missile attack by the Germans was terrifying.

As a military pilot, he knew very well that the Germans had used V-2 missiles in the war for a long time, and now, the technical progress of the Germans is almost a thousand miles away, and now they can directly hit the United States.

In this way, all our fortifications on the east coast will be threatened, especially these industries, which may have to migrate to the west coast.

The Germans are simply crushing the United States by relying on their technological superiority. The current attack is simply unsolvable.

There is no defense. If a bomber strikes, you can take off and intercept it. Even if the opponent's bomber is flying at a high altitude, you can also improve the aircraft and fly up.

But now, with this terrifying ballistic missile, one's own side has no countermeasures at all, and can only be beaten passively.

As a defeated country in World War I, in just over 20 years, the Germans have developed to such a terrible perverted level. How will the United States fight this war?

The missile attack that the Germans took the lead in brought a strong shock to Roy, and at the same time, it also shook the entire United States.

Because they all know that this is just the beginning. From this night, the United States will never have peace. The bombing of the Germans will become a sword hanging above their heads until the war is over, before the Soviet war is over. , the Germans have already started an attack on the United States!
