Chapter 542 Fighting the Bridge (Plus 3)

Don't hit the Beyarn aircraft carrier, let it surrender, never let the Beyarn sink.

This telegram arrived very timely. At this time, the Earl Spey had already aimed at the other party again. Due to the proper position, not only the six 283mm naval guns at the bow, but also the 283mm naval guns at the stern , also has enough shooting range.

Nine naval guns are enough to destroy the opponent with round after round of shelling! The French warships are still the technology of the First World War, and they can't stop the turns of their own 283mm naval guns.

But now, this order makes Colonel Lansdorf in a dilemma for a while, what should I do?

Fire?

If you open fire, you might sink the opponent. Although the order is very strange and confusing, as a soldier, it is a natural duty to obey the order. This is almost an instinctive conditioned reflex.

So, definitely don't start rashly.

So how exactly? Colonel Lansdorf looked at the 30,000-ton aircraft carrier, watched it accelerate slowly, looked at the elevator in its middle, lifted a new carrier aircraft again, and looked at its bridge.

Immediately, he had inspiration.

You can't hit the opponent's hull or deck, because they are very weak here. At this distance, the 283mm armor-piercing projectile can completely pass through the opponent's armor belt, and the wooden flight deck is not even hit.

After a few rounds of shooting, you can hit the opponent, and once the opponent is hit, it is very dangerous.

Because the aircraft carrier needs to store a lot of fuel and ammunition, who knows how the French can control damage, just from the quality of being ambushed by their own side, it is obviously very poor.

Once it hits there, causing the fuel to burn, or the ammunition to explode, that's trouble! Maybe, within a few minutes, it will sink, and there is no way to rescue it.

Well, apart from these places, there is only one place to fight, the bridge!

The bridge stands tall and is integrated with the chimney, so that when one is aiming, it can avoid the opponent's hull and fire at the bridge.

There is no fuel or ammunition on the bridge, and there will be no explosions there, but there are a large number of senior officers on the bridge.

As long as the bridge is bombarded continuously, it is enough to make the opponent's will to fight disappear. If their senior commander is killed, then the lower-level sailors have no chance of saving up for combat.

Yes, just do it!

"Attention, aim at the opposing bridge and fire!" Colonel Ransdorf shouted.

Change the target position and aim at the bridge. This is also a challenge for the German gunners.

You must know that in general naval battles, you just aim at the opponent's general direction and shoot, pouring shells towards the sea area where the opponent is located until it hits.

But what about now? Not only to hit the opponent, but also to hit a certain position of the opponent!

It's hard to do, but it can't beat the German gunner!

"Deviated by one close position to the left. Raise the elevation angle by three points, all naval guns, prepare for the first salvo." As the gunner of the Earl of Spey, he was quite cautious at this time.

The first test shot gave him a general grasp, and this second time, he didn't need to test again, he just went on together.

As long as the elevation angle of the naval gun is increased, and the distance measurement is accurate, it will not hit the opponent's hull or deck, either on the bridge or flying.

"Boom!" In an instant, the entire Earl of Spey became furious. The muzzle of each naval gun emitted a huge flame, illuminating the sea, and the thick smoke enveloped the entire battleship, the huge hull, In the salvo, he was pushed abruptly to the side by more than ten centimeters!

This is the most exciting naval gun shooting, cannon, god of war!

When the Earl of Spey fired here, the entire Bayern was dead silent, the Germans, fired!

At this time, the distance between the two sides was less than five nautical miles, almost driving side by side, which was a rather awkward position.

Since the top is the flight deck, the guns on the Beyon are all arranged from the side. For example, its 155mm guns are scattered in the turrets around the warship.

So that at present, only three 155mm turrets can turn to the direction of the Earl of Spey. These three naval guns simply do not have enough ability to tear apart the German warship armor, and even they all Can't hit the opponent accurately.

After all, the 155mm naval gun takes into account air-to-air shooting, which requires a high rate of fire. On the other hand, it is the decline in the power of the artillery. It is destined to be a tragic result to use it to bombard the Deutsche-class.

However, at this distance, the German naval guns are quite high in accuracy!

After the fire of the naval guns flashed, the huge armor-piercing projectile flew over, with a graceful arc, towards the Beyon here.

"Long-range bombs, don't be afraid, continue to fly the carrier-based aircraft!" Laborde has been observing the other party, relying on years of experience, he observed the ballistic trajectory of the other party's flying, and determined, don't be afraid, it is a long-range bomb!

It must be a long-range bomb. It was aimed at the bridge. If it didn't hit, it would definitely fly over the flight deck and fly to the opposite position hundreds of meters away.

Now, that's it.

The operators on the deck watched in horror as the armor-piercing bullets flew over their heads, only a dozen meters away from them. .

Some sailors shouted directly.

"Do not!"

Almost at the same time, there was a terrifying shout on the bridge.

An armor-piercing projectile flew straight towards them! The pupils of each of them are dilated, and it seems that there is only one such huge cannonball left in their retinas, which is spinning and flying towards them!

This is really scary!

The bridge does not have heavy armor. After all, this aircraft carrier is refitted. If you build a heavy armored bridge on the side, it will be unbalanced.

And now, if the armor-piercing projectile hits the bridge, the people on the bridge will be in danger!

As if it confirmed their thoughts, at the next moment, there was a terrifying howl of impact on the entire bridge. Under the huge vibration, everyone was unsteady and fell to one side.

"Boom!" Then, a huge explosion sounded.

The armor-piercing bullet is definitely not a solid iron lump. It just uses a higher proportion of steel or even alloy steel. When it penetrates the armor and explodes inside, the effect is even better.

When the explosion came, it was like hell was coming. Black smoke surrounded the entire bridge.

The sailors on the deck below watched in amazement as the smoke billowed on their own bridge, as if the entire bridge had been destroyed.
