The Deep Sea Fleet did not have radars, early warning aircrafts, or patrols.
However, when Expedition Fleet No. 199 entered the 100 nautical mile range, they somehow discovered it. One by one, the deep-sea warships were activated and immediately divided into three large formations to meet the enemy.
The first thing that appeared in their field of vision was a very strange small plane. The propeller grew on the top of the head, and there was a ball on the propeller…
Although the deep-sea people had never seen a modern armed helicopter, they recognized torpedoes. They saw the Yu-11 light torpedoes mounted under the short wings of the Apa Dolphin.
The formation quickly changed course and exposed half of the side. They were ready to maneuver and evade while using anti-air firepower to intercept the torpedoes.
Even the 127mm anti-air cannon had a maximum range of seven to eight kilometers, and the Apa Dolphin launched two torpedoes from fifteen kilometers away.
The rocket boosters at the tail of the Yu-11 were activated first. They quickly descended and adjusted their attitude when they approached the surface of the water. The rocket boosters detached and entered the water smoothly to cruise mode.
The active and passive sound guidance head worked in turn, identifying the target and tracking it. The first ten kilometers were traveled at a speed of 50 knots, and the last five kilometers were accelerated to 65 knots, until the target was hit.
Deep Sea Ship Girl: ?????
In the eyes of the deep-sea ship lady, the strange plane dropped two torpedoes from afar and turned around to leave.
How could there be such a heaven-defying torpedoes during World War II? No one had ever heard of an airborne torpedoes that could shoot 15 kilometers. It would be fine if it was a ship-borne heavy torpedoes, but how could an airborne light torpedoes travel so far?
But it didn't matter. The longer the torpedoes traveled, the slower they would be. A distance of 15 kilometers was enough for them to maneuver and avoid the attack route. After the deep-sea ship ladies made two more turns, they no longer paid attention to the two torpedoes.
Never would he have thought that modern torpedoes would have a self-aiming cheat…
When the Apa Dolphin helicopter returned to Chennan's main body and resupplied, it returned to the battlefield again. The two torpedoes that were fired earlier had already hit the target.
The Deep Sea Fleet was still moving forward. Only one battleship was left far behind.
The two torpedoes attacked the same target. One of them exploded below the engine compartment, avoiding the torpedoes 'protective belt, causing a thousand tons of water to enter. However, after the water-tight hatch was closed, it was effectively controlled, and the two furnaces were scrapped.
The other one detonated below the propeller, successfully destroying two propellers. Even the transmission shaft was distorted. The deep-sea battleship had lost its power and could not continue fighting.
Brother Chennan was still a hundred nautical miles away, watching the live broadcast through the optical probe of the helicopter.
Modern light torpedoes were less lethal, especially her Yu-11, which only had 40 kilograms of ammunition. It was not realistic to sink a battleship completely.
The previous round of attacks had only broken the leg of the Deep-Sea Battleship Lady. From the sky, there were some oil leaks on the surface of the sea. Other than that, there was nothing unusual.
If it was the light torpedoes from the Second World War, it would be entirely up to luck to accurately break a leg. If it hit the lightning protection belt, it would not cause a single ripple…
(Bismarck agreed. It's not that I'm bad at air defense, it's just that Swordfish is lucky.)
The Apa Dolphin locked onto another deep-sea battleship and fired two torpedoes. The mission was complete.
Brother Chennan did not want to waste more resources at all. Although the commission given by Guardian's Residence No. 199 was high, he still had a hungry foodie at home. He would save as much as he could.
After completing two waves of torpedoes, the No. 199 Guardian's Residence formation led by Bismarck arrived at the battle position.
The Deep Sea Ship Maidens split into three groups to try to outflank him. This information was captured by the Pastoral Eagle early warning helicopter in the sky and quickly informed Bismarck.
"Using the strategy of dragging the blade, everyone is an old ship lady, you all know what to do.”
99% of the Iron-Blood Fleet's battleships were designed for breaking through the enemy's defenses. They could travel far and fast, and the average speed of the fleet reached 30 knots. They didn't have the tortoise-speed battleships like Iron Bastard to drag them down.
Ordinary deep-sea warships were weak in power. The destroyer cruiser was driven by a single axis, and the battle cruiser only had two axes. The speed varied from 32 knots to 25 knots.
The so-called strategy of dragging the blade was to show the enemy that they were weak and run away first, letting the brainless Deep Sea Ship Girl chase after them.
When the Deep Sea fleet got out of line, they would turn back and start fighting. This way, they could cleverly resolve the disadvantage of their forces. They did not fight all of the Deep Sea fleet at once. Instead, they first beat up the destroyer children, then patrolled lightly and heavily.
In the end, the Deep-Sea Battleship was left alone and could be dealt with however he wanted.
The current situation was that the 199th Fleet was fleeing while the 199th Fleet was chasing them in the deep sea. The distance between the two sides was 25 kilometers, and it was constantly increasing.
Brother Chennan saw this scene and quickly slipped away, lest DeepSea sneaked in.
However, the danger did not stop the onlookers. The helicopter lowered its altitude slightly and sent back a clearer video image to Brother Chennan.
Bismarck and Tirpitz opened fire with the main cannons at the stern of the ship, firing from a distance of twenty-five kilometers.
The 52-times diameter 380mm cannon equipped by the two had a theoretical maximum range of 36 kilometers, but the effective range in actual combat was only 20 kilometers.
In fact, the theoretical range of battleships was very long. The 460-meter cannon at the dock could shoot 42 kilometers, but no one had ever heard of anyone who could hit the target from such a long distance.
When the distance was over 20 kilometers, not only could the observation system not keep up, but it was also because the cannonballs took too long to fly and were severely scattered, just like now.
Brother Chennan witnessed the bombardment of the sisters from the Iron-Blood line through the helicopter.
The deep-sea battleship that was aimed at was moving in a straight line at a constant speed. Even so, it did not hit the target. The two shells landed at a distance of 500 meters!
"The first round of artillery fire is straddle fire.”Brother Chennan congratulated him on the radio channel.
After the main cannon fired, the shells would not land on a certain point very accurately. Instead, they would be evenly distributed in an area, which was called the scattering area.
When the scattering zone trapped the target warship, that is, when the shell landed not far away from tens of meters or hundreds of meters, but did not hit directly, it was called " crossfire."
The crossfire meant that the enemy ship was within the range of fire, which also meant that the calculation of the shooting elements was correct. Those who could form the crossfire in the first round were definitely ace ship ladies who had experienced hundreds of battles.
It was a matter of probability when he could accurately hit the target after the jump shot.
It was like drawing circles on a piece of paper, randomly pointing at it while blindfolded. The longer the time, the faster the frequency, and the more handwriting in the circle, the more likely the enemy ship would be hit.
Bismarck and Tirpitz's tail turrets were firing at full power, firing bullets every 26 seconds. Brother Chennan was in the sky, constantly reporting the situation.
"The result of the 19th round of artillery fire, straddle shot.”
" Round 20, Leaping Shot."
"Hey (#`O)! Are your main cannons shotguns? Why are they spread out so widely?”
Tyrbitz: " Shut up. What else do you want at 25 kilometers? My Iron Blood craftsmanship is incomparably precise. If you put it close, it will definitely hit in one round.”
