What does it mean to be a tiger into a flock? When the German battleships began shelling the British transport fleet, it was probably a faithful portrayal of this word. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The destroyers of the British Navy did fight back, but they really couldn't get close to the lethal distance of firing the torpedo.

With the constant threat of aircraft overhead, these destroyers were so powerless in the face of the secondary guns of battleships with a caliber of at least 150 mm or more.

Don't think that American destroyers can scare away Japanese battleships in naval battles, just think that destroyers can fight battleships head-on in broad daylight.

No kidding...... It was the American air force that did not know when it would appear that scared the Japanese battleships, but not the tenacious speedboats and destroyers......

The pressure that the aviation brought to the commanders of the Japanese warships did not appear in the minds of the German commanders at this time.

On the contrary, their skies have never been safer! Three twin-plane formations, that is, 6 FW-190T fighters escorted above their heads, and they were not afraid of the pesky Swordfish of the British at all.

Therefore, at this time, Lindemann really felt the grandeur of being an imperial navy.

"Fire! Watch out for torpedoes fired by the enemy! Adjust your course! Keep the bow against the enemy! Don't use all your firepower! In order to avoid being hit by the British's torpedoes, Lindemann still carefully commanded his warship.

The bow of the battleship made it possible to avoid enemy torpedoes and minimize the area of enemy strikes. Although it could not exert all its firepower, the bow firepower of the battleship Bismarck could not crush a few destroyers?

That's 4 381 mm guns! Both precision and power were among the best in the Atlantic this year.

Although it is not as good as the shallow sea running ship Nelson, it is definitely not something that two destroyers can compete with. If destroyers really have the ability to confront opposing battleships, what are the navies of various countries doing with their lives to build battleships?

When later generations mentioned the battleship Bismarck, most of the criticism focused on its poor anti-aircraft firepower and serious waste of warship tonnage.

Despite the fear of torpedoes on the destroyer, the Bismarck did not rush to close the distance, staying at a distance of about 10 km, wearing down the British escort with its own guns. But its powerful artillery still made the British depressed to the limit.

The Germans carefully designed secondary guns, which could concentrate four turrets directly in front of the attack, eight guns, plus four main guns of 381 mm caliber, more than the guns on three destroyers.

Originally, Bismarck's six secondary turrets could shoot straight ahead, but because of some tattered piled up on the deck, the two turrets behind could not fire directly at the front......

Facts have proved that sometimes the piles of rags happen not only in the corridors of China, but also on foreign warships......

It can be said very responsibly that the matter of China's Beiyang Fleet drying quilts on the barrels of guns is basically a fictitious matter, but the fact that the German battleship Bismarck stuffed a lifeboat next to the secondary gun is 80% true.

Lindemann was able to fight in real history, as the captain of the battleship Bismarck, and was naturally a very good commander.

At this moment, with all the advantages, he did not rush to eat his opponent, but on the premise of remaining unharmed, he ate this transport fleet as much as possible.

This is a good thing, the German Navy's unarrogant and impatient style of play, and the fragility and density of its own transport fleet, so that the British Navy escort fleet really has no capital to fight.

"Boom!" Against this kind of fleet, the 381 mm main gun on the Bismarck is definitely not the main force, and its role is similar to that of atomic bomb deterrence.

What really put pressure on the enemy ship was the 150 mm secondary gun, which was equipped with a more accurate sight and was firing rapidly.

The rate of fire of these secondary guns is too fast, and there is heavy armor protection that destroyers and other small ships do not have, so they take too much advantage in the firepower battle.

Battleships in the World War II era relied on optical equipment for aiming. And the larger the volume of the optical device, the longer the baseline, the more reliable the accuracy of aiming in general.

The huge sight on a battleship is much more precise and accurate than the cargo on a destroyer, after all, a destroyer does not need to fight against enemy surface targets at a distance of 10 kilometers......

As time passed, one transport ship after another caught fire and exploded - these ships were not armoured.

For them, whether it is a 280 mm cannon, or a 203 mm cannon, even a 150 mm caliber shell, it is deadly.

For example, in real time and space, the 37 mm caliber anti-aircraft guns equipped with the Chinese Navy hit enemy ships with flat fire, and a shell hit the side of an ordinary ship, which is a hole the size of a basin!

German submarines relied on the equipped 105 and 88 mm caliber deck guns to rob homes in the Atlantic, and now they have been replaced by guys with larger calibers, and the effect is certainly not ordinarily good.

The bridge of a destroyer of the British Navy was hit directly by a 280-mm caliber flying from the front. The huge momentum allowed the shell to tear through the entire bridge and then explode inside the chimney behind the bridge.

This old British destroyer from the US Navy aided by the United States was left with only its hull on the surface after this explosion.

It has to be said that although it seems that the battleships Bismarck and Tirpitz on both sides are fierce and powerful, like two dragons entering the sea, it is the battlecruisers Prinz Eugen and Gneisenau that are really deadly.

The guns of these two battleships were smaller, but they were superior in terms of an impressive rate of fire. And when using high-explosive shells, the guns of the two battleships will be capable, which is simply against the sky for targets without armor protection!

Please don't underestimate the faith and perseverance of the Germans to break the belligerent, and don't underestimate the wisdom of the Germans! Under the appearance of a large ship with a small cannon, the German Navy has always had such a novice heart!

In order to give full play to the power of naval guns in the breaking engagement, the German Navy prepared high-explosive anti-personnel ammunition for large-caliber artillery with poor armor-piercing performance.

This ammunition was used specifically against enemy destroyers, as well as unarmored merchant ships. A violent explosion would cause a bloody storm that would tear through the steel plates of these ships and cause massive damage.

If those merchant ships and destroyers are compared to bandits with only a few drops of blood left in the CS, Germany is the policeman who bought shotguns and picked up the bargain......

Over time, one British destroyer after another sank under the fire of German battleships.

The huge British convoy is like a flock of sheep without the protection of hounds, which looks huge but has no power to fight back.

However, in the face of such a huge fleet of thirty or forty transport ships remaining, someone has to break the situation.

Compared to the two delicate battleships, the Prinz Eugen took the lead, using its nimble posture to rush towards the British naval transport fleet.

After half an hour of artillery fighting, eighty percent of the British destroyers had lost their combat capability. Except for a few lucky ones that are still saving themselves, all that remains is the mast exposed on the sea.

The Prinz Eugen, known as the auspicious man of Germany, was the first to accelerate and split the British convoy from the center. The secondary guns on both sides of it fired their bows left and right, as if they were in a no-man's land.

At this time, the British transport ship that exploded could tell what the cargo was carrying by listening to the sound.

Eighty percent of the earth-shattering explosions were carried out by artillery shells and other munitions and materials, and from time to time even cars were lifted into the sky by the explosion and then fell, which looked very spectacular.

The sound was a little quieter, but the smoke was billowing and burning violently, and it was the ships transporting the oil. These ships burn crisply, burn brightly, and burn for a long time......

The battleship, which was muffled and sank very quickly, was either transporting steel or grain.

Of course, there are unsinkable ships - two sensible transport ships hoisted white flags, indicating that they could consider being prisoners and not want to die in the icy sea.

Twenty kilometers away, the smile on his face, which had already learned that his battleship had annihilated the British transport fleet unscathed, could no longer be described as bright.

Now, his fleet has achieved more great results than any previous voyage to sea. The news from the pilots was surprisingly unanimous - "The British fleet is finished!" ”

Whoever looks at it, the British TC transport fleet at this time has been completely wiped out. Except for the sinking ships, the rest of the sea are hoisted with white flags, waiting for their final fate.

If conditions permitted, Lütjens really wanted to escort the ships back to Germany. But he was not yet carried away by the victory, knowing that there was a belated British home fleet behind him.

There was no way to return to France with these oil bottles, and Lütjens knew better than anyone the importance of speed in the survival of inferior fleets.

"We don't have time to take prisoners." Standing beside Ruetjens, Hines reminded kindly.

Lu Teyans smiled and nodded, agreeing with the suggestion of the "Führer's protégé" next to him: "Don't think about grabbing things, order those ships to lower their lifeboats and let everyone abandon them." Then open fire and sink all the ships and get out of here at once! ”

After an hour of fierce fighting, the British Swordfish attack planes finally arrived on the battlefield. However, they did not see any German battleships.

Twenty minutes earlier, the German Nuremberg had rescued about 100 British drowning people and left the battlefield at full speed.
