The dense cannonballs were like a storm of rain around the two German battleships Tilbitz, constantly splashing a large area of water, but not a single British gun hit it!

When the naval battle between the fleets and the fleets is dueled, it not only depends on the fleet's piloting skills and luck; It also needs to look at the advanced performance of the ships of the fleet, especially their firepower, armor and other configurations.

And the ships of the battleship Tirbitz, which was desperately attacking the Germans, were just ordinary battleships of the American and British armies, and they were not capital ships, so they could not defeat the two battleships of the Tirbitz in a short time now.

Moreover, the battle of the naval fleet is not static at all, and it has to face not only the complicated weather conditions in the Atlantic, but also the movement of the ships attacking each other, that is to say, once the naval guns miss, it will become a mistake of thousands of miles, and the naval guns may distort the shells they fired to the other direction more than ten nautical miles away; No matter how accurate the design is, when the cannon is discharged, if the ship is distorted a little by the wind and waves, or if it moves a little electricity in order to avoid the opponent's naval guns and counterattack at the same time, then the shells of the naval guns that have just fired will be also crooked and missed.

Even the new fire control system that the US military is now equipped with is still biased, although the current antiaircraft artillery fire control system of the US military uses radar and optical rangefinders to search and track targets, electromechanical analog computers for data processing, follow-up systems to drive artillery, and synchronous transmission devices to connect the above parts into an automated anti-aircraft complex.

However, there is still a big difference in function from the functions after World War II, when digital computers replaced analog computers, and the ability to control multiple identical weapons to shoot at the same target with the same element, and the ability to control multiple types of weapons to shoot at multiple targets in a planned manner with different elements.

Not to mention the application of ultra-large-scale integrated circuit digital computers, because the current antiaircraft artillery fire control system of the US military is still only in its initial stage, and there are still many problems that have not been improved.

Moreover, there are not many ships with optical fire control systems for anti-aircraft artillery that the US military has now, so Dönitz's aircraft carrier fleet definitely owes a thank you to the US military for this naval battle.

Because during World War II, the fire control system technology of the German army was mainly focused on tanks such as the Leopard.

If it weren't for the Dönitz aircraft carrier fleet, which had been fighting against the British and American aircraft carrier fleets for several days, it would definitely have suffered a lot of casualties on the ships and naval officers and men.

Just like at this moment, when Chen Yanlong was discussing with Schmidt how to bomb Bletchley Manor, Dönitz's aircraft carrier fleet once again engaged in a naval duel with the British and American aircraft carrier fleets that had evaded him for two days.

Of course, this time the commander of the British and American aircraft carrier fleet is still Admiral Cunningham, and the aircraft carrier fleet he led did not suffer much damage.

Because in the battle a few days ago, once he saw the strength of the fleet without Dönitz, he very decisively led his aircraft carrier fleet to withdraw first, how to continue the battle.

In short, the naval battle between them was carried out intermittently, and Cunningham learned wisely, no longer scattering his own fleet to fight, but concentrating firepower together against Dönitz's carrier fleet.

Moreover, the battleship that faced off with Dönitz's battleship Tilbitz was not the latest 406-mm Iowa-class battleship of the U.S. Army, but the Wyoming-class battleship of the oldest first-class battleship (except for training ships) in service with the U.S. Navy in World War II.

The ship's main guns have 6 twin 305 mm guns; The secondary guns had 21 127 mm guns, a speed of 20.5 knots, and a crew of more than 1,100 people.

Fighting side by side with it is another battleship of the US army, called the New York-class battleship, which is an improved version of the Wyoming-class battleship, mainly strengthened firepower, equipped with a new 14-inch 5-seat twin 356 mm caliber main gun; The secondary guns consisted of 16 MK.7 127 mm guns and 8 MK.22 76 mm L/50 anti-aircraft guns.

The speed is 21 knots, and the crew is more than 1,000 people.

These two old battleships participated in the Normandy landing campaign in the original historical time and space.

But now they don't have such a chance, because after this time they fought desperately against Dönitz's carrier fleet, they will be sunk into the sea to feed the fish.

As for the battleships of the British army that participated in this naval duel, they were not the battleships "Royal Oak", "Balham", and "Prince of Wales".

On October 14, 1939, the battleship Royal Oak was sunk by the German Navy submarine U-47 that had infiltrated the Royal Navy base in Scapa Bay.

The British battlecruiser HMS Hood was also sunk by the German Bismarck, while the famous British "Prince of Wales" was killed by Japanese planes of the Japanese Z Fleet in the Battle of the Malay Sea.

In short, none of the five "George V" class battleships, namely "George V", "Prince of Wales", "Duke of York", "Howe" and "Anson", appeared in this naval battle.

Therefore, the battleships that are now fighting with the Dönitz aircraft carrier fleet belong to the R-class battleships, also known as the five revenge-class battleships, "Sovereign", "Revenge", "Resolve" and "Ramilis".

However, the "Resolve" and "Ramiris" have been sunk by Dönitz's new carrier-based aircraft group, and the remaining "Sovereign" and "Revenge" are cooperating with the Wyoming-class battleships and the New York-class battleships to besiege the two German battleships Tirbitz.

The armament of the battleships "Sovereign" and "Revenge" was 4 twin 15-inch/42 caliber main guns; 14 6-inch/45-caliber guns; 2 76-mm guns; Equipped with 40-mm anti-aircraft guns, as well as 4-inch anti-aircraft guns.

In the original historical time and space, because Germany was a defeated country in World War I, for a long time, Germany did not have a single warship.

For this reason, when Hitler rearmament, Germany replaced the quantitative gap with high-quality ships, so that one German battleship could fight several British warships.

So this is the reason why four British and American battleships are still not at the top against the two famous German battleships Tilbitz.

"Boom, boom! Boom ......"

The 356 mm main guns of the New York-class battleships were cooperating with the 16 MK.7 127 mm guns and secondary guns, and they were bombarding fiercely, as if they would not stop until the battleship Tilbitz was sunk.

"Quickly dodge the return fire of the US army and prepare to counterattack!"

Equipped with three FuMO-23 radars, one FuMO-26 radar, and one FuMO-212/213 radar, the battleship Tilbitz hastily moved under the orders of his captain Haywall to evade the shelling of the New York-class battleships.

"Boom, boom! Boom ......"

At the same time, the battleship Tirbitz was equipped with four twin 380 mm 52 x caliber main guns and six twin 150 mm 55 x caliber secondary guns were also gradually counterattacking.

For a time, the two sides were engaged in artillery fire, smoke billowed from the sky, and the deafening sound of shelling resounded in the sky.

However, before the New York-class battleships could carry out a ferocious attack, the German Navy dispatched a large number of carrier-based bombers with 5.5-ton "tall cabinet" super bombs specially designed to deal with large warships, and attacked the hull of the New York-class battleships.

"Boom, boom! Boom ......"

With the sound of huge explosions one after another, three "tall cabinet" super bombs directly hit the hull of the New York-class battleship, five near-miss bombs exploded near the hull, and the underwater part of the port side was torn open by three near-lost "high-foot" New York-class battleships with a length of nearly 80 meters, and the hull suddenly tilted rapidly, and at the same time, the moment the hull of the ship was blown up and broken, it also caused the ammunition depot on the ship to detonate at the same time.

"Boom! Boom ......"

Then, in the midst of two extremely shocking and astonishing explosions, the entire New York-class battleship was blown up into a blazing fireship by more than a dozen "tall cabinet" super bombs, black smoke billowed out, and the terrible howls of the crew resounded in the sky, making people shudder, and hair stood up.

In fact, these "tall cabinet" super bombs were originally designed by the British army, and the powerful weapons and equipment of the German super warship Tilbitz battleship were brought out on November 12, 1944, but now they were redeemed by Chen Yanlong in advance, specifically attacking the warships of Britain and the United States and other countries, and successfully sinking these British and American warships into the depths of the sea, and they will never be salvaged for repair.
