Anti-aircraft guns, also divided into performance, for example, the German previous 37 mm hand pull machine, this kind of anti-aircraft gun, there is no difference between there and not, and the 40 mm Bofors anti-aircraft gun, then the absolute firepower is crazy.

The current Rodney, still an early British anti-aircraft gun, was far from adequate in firepower, and the German planes were cunningly flying from the other side of the ship, in the direction of darkness.

This made them extremely nervous, and as soon as the gunners found the target, the opponent had already dived down!

"Fire!" The artillery commander shouted loudly, 40 mm shells, thrown into the sky, but unfortunately it was useless, the opponent had already pulled up a 70-degree dive angle at this time, and a bomb, along the opponent's glide line, flew up!

"Left full rudder!" Captain James shouted loudly, these Germans, they are so cunning, they actually found the weakness of their battleship.

If compared with other battleships in history, the Rodney, with a displacement of 35,000 tons, has one of the most obvious features, that is, the three triple main guns are all in the bow.

It can't be completely called the bow of the ship, and the three triple main guns are arranged and have reached the middle of the hull.

Since the front section is the main gun, the other secondary guns can only be deployed to the back, and the anti-aircraft firepower in front is very weak, and the other side just seized this shortcoming, almost all of them bombed to the front!

Another disadvantage of the Rodney is that the main engine power is not enough, and the maximum speed is only 23 knots, you know, even the battleships of the First World War era can often soar to a high speed of 30 knots.

If the speed is low, the steering will not be fast enough, and if the horsepower is low, it will not be able to quickly return to the original speed.

The bow of the ship turned, and the bomb that fell almost passed by, and the bomb was less than a meter away from the side of the ship!

It made everyone's hearts pound.

A huge left rudder slowed down the speed of the battleship, and it was not so easy to dodge it the second time, and at this time, one after another Stuka could be seen in the sky, with a howling, swooping down towards the Rodney!

"Boom!" The second Stuka was suddenly shot while diving, and it was not the Rodney's attack, but the anti-aircraft guns of a nearby battleship to support them.

Before there was time to cheer, the third Stuka bomber dropped 500 kg of bombs.

This time, the Rodney did not dodge, and moreover, they also found the belly of the Germans, and the second one was specially designed to attract their attention, so that the third one could achieve results!

The bomb swayed downward, and in everyone's eyes, the bomb almost grazed the second turret, and on the left deck below the second turret, there was a violent explosion!

"Boom!"

Like all battleships of this era, the side armor, the turret armor, was thick enough, however, his deck was not thick enough, only 152 mm!

This 500-kilogram bomb blew up the deck of the Rodney in an instant! In the huge explosion, the deck is cocked, and the structure below the deck is also dangerous!

What's underneath? Ammunition and loading equipment for huge naval guns, of course, and if there was a martyrdom there, the entire Rodney would be destroyed!

"Quick, do damage management immediately!" Captain James shouted loudly that in the air raid on Scarpa Bay, the British Navy lost a large number of warships, and could not withstand more losses, and if his super battleship was also lost, then the British Navy would really fall.

A few water hoses for firefighting, which began to be watered in that direction, were well trained by the British Navy and fully displayed at this time!

If only this one was hit, then they could still withstand it, but the other bombers were still desperately diving down!

Fourth, fifth... In pursuit of bombing accuracy, the German pilots did not care about the anti-aircraft fire below at all, and dived all the way to a height of several hundred meters before dropping bombs!

Rodney, shot again! A huge bomb smashed into the back of the No. 3 turret and exploded in front of the bridge, and this explosion instantly killed more than fifty British sailors, all of whom were in the process of damage management!

Moreover, the explosion also destroyed the firefighting unit!

On the entire battleship, several places were shot and there were flames, and at this time, the people on the warship were all nervous in their hearts.

I'm afraid this warship can't dodge.

"Report, servo failure." The house leak happened to rain overnight, and at this moment, this depressing news reached James's ears.

The Nelson-class rudder had always had problems, and the slightest wind and waves on the sea often had to sail with full rudder to defend against yaw, and in later generations, the steering gear of its second ship was strengthened, but the Rodney did not have time to refit it.

After the rudder fails, the engine can no longer be started, otherwise, the water flow of the propeller will completely damage the rudder, and it will be extremely complicated to repair, and even the stern of the ship will have to be cut.

But now, they don't have a chance to make any moves.

When the servo is damaged, it loses its ability to maneuver!

"Boom!" The Rodney, which sailed at low speed in a straight line, was simply a target ship, and another Stuka bomber, with a sharp howl, swooped down, and this bomb was dropped into the bullet hole of the first bomb!

"Boom!" A huge explosion sounded, and two seconds after this explosion sounded, an even bigger explosion suddenly appeared.

The ground shook, the entire sea changed color, the Rodney's skyrocketing flames were brighter than the burning Athletic, and its ammunition depot exploded!

In this era, battleship duel and artillery bombardment are still the most common combat methods, but after several attacks, it has also taught everyone a lesson, and the dive bombing of carrier-based aircraft will cause greater damage to battleships!

If you don't pay attention to the anti-air protection of warships, you will definitely suffer a big loss!

In the Atlantic, the wind is getting stronger, the waves are several meters high, and in the waves, the deck of the aircraft carrier Adolf Hitler is also swaying from left to right.

"No, our deck conditions are no longer able to continue landing!" The voice on the bridge was urgent.

"Then land too, put up a blocking net!" Captain Tiller looked at the shaking deck and clenched his fists: "Even if the plane breaks, we must keep our pilots safe, pilots are more important than planes." ”

At this time, in the strong wind, the Stuka bomber was also like a fluttering leaf, and under such meteorological conditions, there was no possibility of landing.

Asim was the last to land, and after the attack, he lost two Stukkas, but it was worth it in exchange for three British ships.

On the return voyage, the weather conditions deteriorated, and Asim led the team to accurately find his own aircraft carrier, and then, Asim let the other fighters land first, and when it was his turn, the storm became more violent.
