Chapter 475: Bruce's Counterattack

The torpedo is dropped from the carrier aircraft, free-falls, and the speed at which it enters the water is the speed at which it enters the water. The angle of entry into the water www.biquge.info pen, fun and pavilion refers to the angle between the torpedo head and the water surface when it enters the water. These two factors directly determine whether the torpedo can work properly after entering the water.

After all, the structural strength of the torpedo is limited, and if the speed and angle of entry into the water are too high, the torpedo will be inserted directly into the water, which may damage the internal structure or destroy the shell, and the shallow water may touch the seabed.

A too small entry angle and too much speed will make the torpedo "float" on the water surface, which will damage the torpedo.

The most common British torpedo, the Mk.II torpedo, is now optimally dropped at an altitude of 40 meters and a speed of 260 km/h, which is exactly the same as the Swordfish.

So, Bruce doesn't need to aim directly at the opponent, but instead aim at the opponent's throwing path and fire!

Bruce does it all skillfully.

And in the distance, the torpedo machine is also making final preparations before launch.

Ted's attack angle was just right, and when the flare was on, he saw his target in the goggles, and then, slowly pushing away the goggles, his eyes adjusting to the bright light, he had entered the final attack route!

Continue to fly forward, reduce the altitude, push the nose and let the torpedo enter the water at the right angle!

It's a perfect attack!

At an angle of 14 degrees, let the torpedo go into the water normally!

Ted mentally counted that in five more seconds, he would be gone.

At this moment, on the opposite warship, there was a fierce fire, it was the anti-aircraft artillery firing!

Fire!

Bruce stepped on the blaster, and in the sound of tom-tom, the 40-mm Bofors anti-aircraft gun, the muzzle of the gun burst into flames.

Among the three grenades, there was a tracer armor-piercing bullet, so now that the trajectory could be clearly seen, Bruce knew that he would definitely be able to hit!

"Boom!" A 40mm grenade accurately hit the nose of the Swordfish, smashed the propeller, and burrowed into the engine behind.

Ted couldn't believe it at this time, the other party fired blindly, and hit himself like this? How is this possible?

The engine in front of him, with black smoke coming out, never had a chance to throw the torpedo again, and before the plane was about to fall, he quickly jumped out of his cockpit.

With an open cockpit, it's easiest to jump!

In fact, in this kind of dark night, jumping into the sea has little chance of surviving, but after all, it is better than falling directly with the plane.

Simply and neatly, one shot, 12 shells, and a British torpedo machine was killed!

Without the slightest hesitation, Bruce shook the direction machine, and soon, aimed at another torpedo machine and opened fire again!

The dense shells flew towards the torpedo plane, and the moment it found out that it was firing here, the swordfish torpedo plane actually threw away the torpedo directly, and then lowered the operating lever and flew at a height of several meters on the sea surface, staggering to avoid Bruce's attack.

"Well done!" Bruce's side, the commander on the gun emplacement, said that at this time, his eyes had adapted to the light of the flares, and the burning fireball on the sea showed that Bruce had just killed the torpedo machine flying from the opposite side at the last moment!

If it weren't for Bruce, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

At this time, the other anti-aircraft gun positions finally began to fire!

"Tom, tom." 40 mm anti-aircraft artillery shells, flying in the sky, tongues of fire flew out, in the air, drawing a beautiful trajectory, if you look from the outside, you can find that at this time, the Deutsche has simply become a hedgehog!

The sixteen Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft guns are quite formidable, and now they are in full swing, and it is very difficult for any aircraft to break through its fire network!

Although the torpedo machine does not need to be particularly close, it is still within the control of the Bofors anti-aircraft guns! Moreover, it also has a 105-mm anti-aircraft gun!

The sky gradually dimmed, and the flare burned for a limited time, and just as the surroundings were about to be darkened, the second flare was released.

The whole sky, lit up again.

Almost at the same time, the 105-mm anti-aircraft guns on the Deutschland also opened fire into the sky.

"Boom, boom!" 105 mm shells flew into the sky, even without searchlights, the light of the flares could cover the swordfish throwing flares!

In the sky, a large fireball flashed, a 105mm high-explosive bomb, which directly exploded the swordfish!

The light of the flares was still there, just in time to provide guidance to the German anti-aircraft artillerymen, who attacked fiercely, and another Swordfish fell from the sky!

Of the 12 Swordfish that came into sortie, three have already been lost, and in general, it is time for them to abandon the attack.

However, they didn't give up!

When the light of the flares dimmed again, their attack began!

At this time, the Deutsche had nothing to hide, it could only turn on the searchlight and illuminate the sky around itself, and in the gap of the searchlight, the remaining swordfish launched an exclamation suicidal attack!

"Tom, tom!" Bruce was still firing, and this time, with the help of a searchlight, a shell from his anti-aircraft artillery, again hit a Swordfish attack aircraft!

The other party was burning, falling towards the sea, and in the burning light of this swordfish, Bruce was surprised to see that in the darkness of the other plane, another swordfish, had already thrown down the torpedo!

"Attention, there are torpedoes to attack!" Bruce shouted loudly: "Starboard, three hundred meters away!" ”

There are torpedoes!

After receiving this alarm, Stange immediately ordered the left full rudder at full speed, but still did not dodge!

"Boom!" This torpedo, in the rear of the Deutschland, exploded violently!

For any warship, attention is paid to the armor protection of the upper layer of the water, and the protection below the waterline is not strong, but a torpedo can still be carried hard!

As a result of the explosion, three sailors were killed, the diesel crew in the rear was damaged, and the speed of the ship went down.

On the warship, everyone had a sigh of the aftermath of the catastrophe, the pressure of being attacked at night was much greater than during the day, and although they had taken sufficient protective measures, they still suffered a torpedo!

"Thank you for your help." On the emplacements of the anti-aircraft guns, the German commander said to Bruce: "I will report your heroic actions to my superiors, and you may even receive an Iron Cross for this operation." ”

Bruce shook his head: "The danger has not passed, now, our speed is slow, and the other party may catch up and shell." ”

At this time, on the bridge, Colonel Stange was also holding the same vigilance: "Attention of the whole ship, ready to meet the battle at any time, all 283 mm naval guns, loaded with armor-piercing shells!" ”
