Attacking with ballistic missiles was originally carried out with great accidentality, and after a long flight, it was normal for the warhead to deviate to a certain extent, and it was already a miracle that the circumferential error was reduced to three kilometers thanks to the excellence of German experts.

Therefore, the use of ballistic missiles to attack aircraft carriers in later generations is a choice out of desperation, and it is an option for the lack of normal equipment.

Now, the German attack is still inaccurate, and in order to improve the accuracy, it is necessary to use the method of covering the strike, twenty at a time, even if only half of the hits can inflict a heavy blow on the opponent.

In fact, about ten or so missiles flew off, and only ten hit the target, of which only four or five hit effectively.

Warehouses, oil tanks, have turned the entire base into a sea of fire, and now, the luckiest missile, is heading for the Essex!

A half-ton warhead, of which the shell is about 200 kilograms, and the remaining 300 kilograms, are all high-explosive.

The outside is also wrapped in a layer of burning black insulating material, in the process of re-entering the atmosphere, this layer of material burns, through the combustion to take away the internal heat, so that the internal temperature of the warhead remains normal, and now, not to mention the half-ton warhead, when it flies down at a speed of more than Mach 15, even a bullet will have a powerful and terrifying energy!

The front end of it squeezed the air, and the air continued to squeeze forward, all the way to the deck, and the boatmen on the deck already sensed that the situation was not good, and then, everyone's pupils dilated, and the terrible warhead actually smashed up just right!

In an attack, the probability of such an incident is quite small, almost like fighting mosquitoes with anti-aircraft artillery, and now it can only be said that God did not protect the Americans.

The warhead of the submunition will explode in mid-air, creating a large area of coverage, but the high-explosive warhead will not, and the warhead will rush straight down, with a terrible impact, and hit the deck of the Essex.

When the warhead and the deck touched, a huge impact force came, and the impact force of the entire hull was almost equal to five times the gravity of the hull itself, and the surrounding sea water made a buzzing sound, surging outward in waves, and the hull was already rushing down incredibly.

As an outfitting dock, the water depth is only a dozen meters, and under this terrible impact, the huge hull began to rush downward, pushing the surrounding sea water outward, and everyone on the deck felt the fear in their hearts.

It's horrible!

If the hull of the ship is impacted to the point of contact with the bottom of the water, it will be traumatized and the hull will break.

It's terrible.

However, there is something more terrifying than that.

After just a brief contact, the deck of the huge aircraft carrier could not stand it, and in the process of the downward collision of the hull, the warhead had already smashed the wooden deck on top and continued downward.

If it is a bomb specially used for anti-ship, then it will have an armor-piercing warhead, a delayed fuse, and it will penetrate into the opponent's warship and explode.

But now, this is just an ordinary high-explosive warhead, which explodes on contact.

After all, even Unit 14, which launched it, didn't expect the luck of the first attack to be so good.

After smashing open the deck, the warhead exploded.

"Boom!" The 300-kilogram high-explosive charge was detonated in an instant, and under the deck of the entire aircraft carrier, a blazing golden flame quickly spread outward from the center of the explosion.

When aircraft carriers are built, they have a special anti-strike design, and if it is a bomb dropped by an aircraft, even if it weighs one ton, it can be carried hard.

But not now, because when this warhead comes down, it has a full fifteen times the speed of sound!

Even if it does not explode, it will cause a devastating and irreversible impact on the overall structure of the aircraft carrier, and the hull of the aircraft carrier has actually cracked one after another, and the structure has suffered huge damage, which cannot be repaired at all.

And now, when it exploded, a huge wave of air, with high pressure, tore the crack part in an instant.

If you look at it from a distance, centered on the location of the impact, at a speed visible to the naked eye, like sawdust falling, huge cracks appear on the aircraft carrier, and then under the action of its own gravity, the aircraft carrier breaks from the middle.

In an instant, a whirlpool broke out on the surrounding sea, and the aircraft carrier, which was being outfitted, began to sink downward, and the sea water rushed into it frantically.

Most of the shipwrights came out early, but there were also a small number of shipwrights who were still working inside, trapped in the cabins, and there was no time to come out, and the turbulent sea water flooded every cabin.

The dark port was lit up by firelight, and the entire shipyard was full of fires, fire sirens were sounding, and the whole port was already in chaos.

At this time, at the aviation base a few kilometers away from the shipyard, many pilots also witnessed this scene.

Tonight was a night training, and when Roy stepped into the cockpit, he saw a meteor flying down from outer space, and at that time, he immediately climbed out and stood on the wings of his plane, looking into the distance, speechless for a long time.

The ballistic missile attack of the Germans, it was terrible.

As a military pilot, he knew very well that the Germans had long used V-2 missiles in the war, and now, the Germans' technological progress was simply a rapid advance, and now they were able to directly hit the United States.

In this way, all of your fortifications on the east coast will be threatened, especially these industries, which may have to be relocated to the west coast.

The Germans are simply relying on technological superiority to crush the United States, and there is no solution to this kind of attack now.

There is no way to defend it, if it is a bomber attacking, you can also take off to intercept it, even if the opponent's bomber flies at a high altitude, you can also improve the aircraft and fly up.

But now, with this terrible ballistic missile, the side has no countermeasures at all, and can only be passively beaten.

As a defeated country in World War I, Germany has developed to the level of this terrible perversion in just over 20 years.

The Germans' preemptive missile attack gave Roy a strong shock, and at the same time, it also shook the whole United States.

Because they all know that this is only the beginning, from this night onwards, the United States, there will be no peace, the Germans bombing, become a sword hanging over their heads, until the end of the war, before the end of the Soviet war, the Germans have begun to attack the United States!
