The power is not enough. Let's get together in quantity!
The four torpedoes of the second wave swam out of the launch tube, accelerated to 30 knots and headed for the Royal Oak opposite!
At this time, hundreds of sailors were anxiously carrying out damage management on the cabin of the Royal Oak.
Draw out the sea water and close the watertight door. The damage of the warship is not very serious and can be rescued!
However, the next explosion completely broke their dreams!
"Boom!" The second wave of torpedoes attacked again. This time, it happened to be at the location of the last explosion.
With the explosion, a big hole was opened in the watertight compartment on one side. Inside, the sailors who had just closed the watertight door looked at the gushing sea water in surprise.
damn!
They didn't even have time to climb up and were submerged by the surging sea.
They struggled in the sea for a few times and had no strength to move.
Not all sailors can swim, and not all can hold their breath in a confined space for a few minutes.
"Boom!" The second torpedo followed. The explosion completely opened the lower fuel tank.
In this era, warships began to burn heavy oil. After all, heavy oil is the cheapest and easier to ship than coal. At the same time, the fuel tank of heavy oil is generally arranged at the bottom of warships.
In this way, it is convenient to balance the weight of the ship. At the same time, in the process of heavy oil combustion, the spare space can be supplemented with seawater. Don't worry about the mixing of seawater and heavy oil. The density of the two is different.
The fuel tank of ordinary warships, whether sailing or not, can not be completely empty. Now the Royal Oak still stores half of its heavy oil, more than 1000 tons.
Under normal circumstances, heavy oil cannot be ignited, which is more difficult to ignite than diesel. When warships ignite, they ignite diesel first and then diesel to ignite heavy oil.
But now, it's different.
The explosion of torpedo brings a lot of heat in an instant, which is enough to ignite the heavy oil!
At the same time, air also flowed into the blown hole. In this way, the fuel of the Royal Oak was ignited.
The raging fire spread rapidly. In the light of the fire, the structural strength of the whole warship became lower and lower with the increase of temperature.
"Boom!" Another torpedo followed. When the torpedo exploded, the Royal Oak seemed to have exhausted all her energy and could no longer support her body.
The ship body was flooded and sank continuously. Heavy oil was floating everywhere on the sea, spreading and burning.
"Double car, back three." Cried prien, who was very satisfied with the scene.
I put nine torpedoes and hit six of the other side. These six torpedoes finally sent the Royal ark to the bottom of the sea!
Well done!
Prien didn't even have time to let his Submarine move forward and directly withdrew from the battlefield. He needed to patrol again, shoot out all his torpedoes, and then find a chance to run away!
……
Mayland Island, also known as "Pomona island". The largest island in the Orkney Islands is Scarpa Bay in the south, and the headquarters of the British naval fleet is on this island.
In the east of the island, Kirkwall is the largest city here and the capital of Orkney Islands.
In the east of Kirkwall, Kirkwall airport is located almost in the southeast of the island. It is a flat place.
This is a mixed military and civilian airport. In addition to civil aviation aircraft, naval shipborne aircraft are also stationed in this airport.
At this time, there was a panic scene everywhere in the airport. Countless pillars of smoke rose. On one side of the airport and on the apron, those naval ship-based aircraft were burning.
This is the target of the first batch of junker-88 bombers. Several bombs dropped by junker-88 turned this place into a sea of fire.
After that, there is no value here.
Originally, it was just some backward carrier based aircraft. Except for a swordfish taking off, the rest were destroyed on the ground. Compared with those warships at sea, it really didn't have much value here.
Due to the dense small bombs dropped, even the runway is pitted.
In the thick smoke, a jeep came to the base. From the car, a man in pilot clothes shouted, "prepare me a plane, hurry!"
"Captain, we don't have a plane now." A dark faced ground crew shouted to him that the plane was in the fire!
The ground crew knows him. This is Charlie Evans, the captain pilot of the 803rd squadron of the "skua" shipboard two seater combat and dive bomber on the aircraft carrier Royal ark.
Skua carrier based aircraft is almost developed at the same time as swordfish torpedo aircraft. However, this aircraft is relatively advanced. For example, it is equipped with retractable landing gear and fully closed cockpit, and adopts single wing structure.
However, the engine horsepower of the skua is insufficient, only 840 horsepower, resulting in its relatively low speed.
This aircraft has only been equipped with troops for a few months.
Now, Charlie is in a hurry.
When the explosion began, he was at the Fleet Command. He accepted the command of the commander and must inform the local community!
The radio has been interrupted. In this case, he can only take off himself!
In the sky, there are German planes everywhere. Taking off under this condition is like death, but he must take risks.
Tell the local people what happened here that he will fly to Scotland and land at Mayi air force base 200 kilometers away to ask for their support!
What happened here is unbelievable. In the past, Scarpa Bay was considered the safest naval base, and it was easy to control the German export in the North Sea, but now it seems that this is absolutely wrong.
Because German long-range bombers can already fly here!
So, it's time to deploy fighters here! Pure air fighter, if you deploy hurricane fighter here, you will be able to intercept German bombers!
Now, it's not too late. As long as he sends out the information about the bombing here, he can lead the Scottish air force to support here!
Charlie needs a plane.
However, the ground service broke his dream. No, the plane has been blown up!
"What about the hangar? Is there any in the hangar? " Charlie asked.
"The hangar was blown up, too." The ground crew said to Charlie, then pointed to the distant hangar, which was still burning.
"Yes, there must be!" Charlie shouted and ran towards the hangar. Finally, in a collapsing hangar, he found a swordfish torpedo. Half of the upper wing of the torpedo had been broken.
"Just this one. Push it out immediately." Cried Charlie.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
