Britain, as an old capitalist country, has begun to go downhill. The scenery of the empire that once kept the sun on is gradually fading.
This can be seen only from British warships. With the decline of national strength, the speed of British construction of new warships has been greatly delayed, so that Britain's current main warships are still in the period of World War I.
Although the ships are old, Britain has adopted a modern and improved way to make these warships have modern combat capability.
For example, the weariness of war has been refitted on a large scale. For example, the main engine has been replaced, especially in terms of weapons.
Although the main gun did not move, the anti-aircraft gun for air defense has been improved many times to cope with the increasingly severe air risk.
For example, one of the most important improvements is the addition of a bang gun.
This is an eight pack version of the early MKII two pound gun in Britain. Compared with the original two pound gun, it mainly improves the heat resistance to adapt to long-time automatic firing.
If converted, the two pounds should be about 40mm. Compared with boforth's 40mm anti-aircraft gun, its performance is actually very backward. However, it won the contract of the British navy for no other reason, because Britain still has an inventory of up to 2 million two pound guns and ammunition after World War I.
These shells have to be used again. They can't be wasted.
So the British came up with an idea to change this thing into an anti-aircraft gun for warships. It took more than ten years
When it was first born in 1921, it was a six pack, but the British Navy felt that it was not cool enough, so it added two tubes and became an eight pack.
The 40mm anti-aircraft gun, eight unit mounted, is a big guy, with an overall weight of more than ten tons, which can only be installed on battleships. Moreover, sailors gave it a friendly title, called Chicago piano.
It was not until 1930 that the first Bang gun was officially on board and equipped with the battleship Kokang. After that, this kind of bang gun was mass produced and equipped on other large warships.
Objectively speaking, the performance of bang bang gun was very advanced when it was first born. After all, the firepower of eight gun barrels is crazy.
However, it also has problems. First, the initial velocity is too low and the range is limited. Second, it can not launch shells equipped with proximity fuzes. With the rapid development of aircraft, it can not meet the needs of air defense. Eventually replaced by bofoss 40mm antiaircraft gun.
But now, this kind of bang gun is the biggest reliance of the war weary, and in front of it is a junker-88 bomber flying rapidly!
When he found the warship, Bessel had no time to pull up the plane and climb again. It was quite stupid to pull it up at this time.
This will expose the belly of the aircraft to the other side, which is the easiest angle to be shot. Therefore, he can only fly forward at ultra-low altitude and enter the final bombing route at the same time.
His plan was not appropriate, but he had no other choice.
"Prepare to drop the bomb." Bessel shouted, while the huge warship opposite had opened fire.
FireStarter!
Bang Bang guns are not only huge in size, but also need a lot of manpower. It takes more than a dozen artillery in one artillery position.
Now, the huge eight piece gun base is slowly rotating, and eight 40mm gun barrels are rising rapidly. The British navy is still in the leading position in shooting sight, and their sight is quite precise.
Now, with the target in his sight, the main gunner stepped on the launcher.
"Bang bang!" A loud noise sounded quickly on the gun position.
The sound of eight guns firing together was quite shocking. The gun barrel was high, and the muzzle emitted fire. 40 mm shells were fired from the bell mouth, and the whole gun position was filled with gunsmoke immediately.
What's more terrible than the vibration of gun * * is the shell shell spitting out on one side, which soon filled the space on one side!
This eight unit anti-aircraft gun is fired together. As an automatic weapon, it needs automatic loading equipment. On this gun base, there are eight heavy bullet boxes, each box is equipped with 140 shells connected by bullet chain. At this time, the shells continue to enter the chamber of the anti-aircraft gun, and then throw out the empty shells.
The sound of clattering continued.
As the Chicago piano opened fire, the dense 40mm shells formed a terrible bullet storm and splashed across!
"Hit!" The lookout shouted loudly. From here, you can clearly see that the junker-88 bomber, the engine on one side, has emitted black smoke!
Finally killed a bomber and got angry!
This kind of antiaircraft gun seems to have strong firepower. In fact, the performance of antiaircraft gun is not advanced, especially the effective oblique distance is still not enough, and it lacks lethality to dive bombers and long-distance torpedo bombers.
If the junker-88 is a dive bomb, it can fly away safely in the other party's barrage, but now it can only choose to throw bombs at a low altitude. At this time, it is unfortunately shot.
However, almost at the same time, the belly bomb compartment of the junker-88 opened, and the second pc-1000rs flew out of it!
Just after leaving the belly bomb cabin, a flame burst out from the tail of the bomb, and the rocket booster has been ignited! With the help of the speed of the carrier, it rushed to the weariness close at hand!
The sailors looked surprised.
"Come on, come on, full left rudder!" Cried the captain of the war weary.
The bomber is turning hard, but no one takes it into account. Everyone is staring at the flying bomb. It's a big guy. It's terrible to be hit by that bomb!
At this time, the warship has accelerated to 10 knots. This speed is not high enough to make the weariness turn quickly!
Come on, turn around and you'll avoid it soon!
Everyone raised their heart to their throat. They stared at the flying bomb and calculated the possibility of avoidance in their hearts.
No, not fast enough!
In everyone's surprised eyes, the bomb with flame trailing at the tail went straight to the bridge.
"Boom!"
The armor of the bridge was not enough to withstand a one ton bomb. With the explosion of the bomb, almost the whole bridge was bent, and most of the naval officers above were injured!
The flying debris smashed the chimney behind, and smoke billowed on the bridge.
War weary, wounded!
At the time of the explosion, the captain, vice captain and first mate lost a large area, and the well-trained navy soldiers immediately began damage control. At this time, they knew what to do without command. This is the heritage of the Old Navy!
Although the bang bang gun hurt the bomber, it failed to stop the other side from dropping bombs!
