Chapter 1163: Underwater Explosion

In this era, only Ciric was the first to realize the power of carrier-based aircraft aviation, vigorously developed the aircraft carrier force, and developed various tactics and weapons against the battleships, this kind of rocket-boosted bomb weighing one ton was a tailor-made nemesis for battleships.

Dive bombing, which ensured sufficient accuracy, and a ton of bombs, in turn, ensured power, and all battleships of this era paid only attention to the side armor and ignored the top armor.

Even more sad is that they did not even realize the importance of anti-aircraft artillery.

The German Navy has a deep understanding of all this after an air force attack led by Shirek, the German built warships, the anti-aircraft fire is quite powerful, the 128 mm and 88 mm anti-aircraft guns are responsible for long-range air defense, and the dense 40 mm Bofors anti-aircraft guns are responsible for short-range air defense, this kind of rapid-fire guns are the most terrible threat to the other side.

But the Soviet Navy did not.

Their 30,000-ton battleship has only 6 anti-aircraft guns and 8 anti-aircraft machine guns, and its firepower is simply negligible.

Historically, after the Marat was attacked by Stuka, the ammunition depot was destroyed and finally could not be repaired, and the bow of the ship was cut off and used as a shore defense gun, which is also Rudel's most glorious classic example, and now, the young aviation of the German Navy has killed a battleship of the Red Empire.

At the same time as the Marat was attacked, the October Revolution was also facing a dive attack by German bombers.

On the October Revolution, the anti-aircraft guns were firing fiercely into the sky, but unfortunately, they could not stop the terrible planes, and a Stuka bomber accurately found the enemy's shooting blind spot and dropped the bomb it was carrying.

"Right full rudder!" Captain Trowski shouted loudly that now, no matter how narrow the channel below was, he had to dodge the dropped bombs first.

By this time, the Marat had already suffered a terrible detonation, putting too much pressure on Trosky.

The massive hull began to tilt to the right, and at this time the speed of the ship did not decrease, which led to a terrible tilt of the hull.

A warship of tens of thousands of tons, when the right rudder is full, may be tilted more than ten degrees, and for the people on board, the feeling in their hearts at this moment is indescribable.

All of them clinged to what was around them, hoping not to be thrown off.

The people inside the ship are okay to say, at most, it is a collision, and the people outside the hull may be thrown out.

For example, on the side of the back deck, an unlucky guy who was carrying a cannonball, when the hull began to tilt, his body immediately became unstable, and he took several steps back to the right, trying to stabilize his body, but the last step was missed.

He let out a scream and fell from above, and the icy water overwhelmed him in an instant.

He can't swim.

No one cared about this unfortunate bastard, and the anti-aircraft artillery looked nervously at the sky, watching the bomb drag the tongue of fire and jump into the sea next to the side of the ship on his left, only a meter or two!

"Boom!" The bomb exploded in the sea.

When they heard this explosion, everyone became frightened, their hands clenched tightly to the place they had just held, and they didn't dare to let go at all, and sure enough, there was a terrible vibration from the hull of the ship.

What exactly was the fuse of the bomb used by the Germans? It can be detonated in the water, and this kind of bomb detonated underwater is not small at all.

In the violent explosion, the seawater turned into a terrible shock wave under the impact of the air current, slapping the bottom of the battleship, and in the waves of seawater, small cracks appeared at the bottom of the hull.

In addition to being afraid of dive bombers, battleships were also afraid of torpedoes, this kind of battleship during the First World War, only paid attention to the side armor, and did not pay attention to the part below the waterline, after all, no shells came from underwater.

Therefore, during World War II, many old ships were refitted, and the armor under the waterline was added, which was used to prevent torpedoes.

And now, this bomb turned into a torpedo, and with the lapping of the current, the bottom of the October Revolution suddenly cracked a big hole.

This is a compartment in the middle of the hull where food is stored, and in this compartment, there happens to be a man in charge of carrying a bag of potatoes, and when the air raid suddenly breaks out, he only has time to drop the potatoes, and then the hull begins to shake.

Then, a loud explosion echoed throughout the cabin, and he felt his ears hiss, and he couldn't hear anything.

Then, the sea water poured in from below. Not good, the hull is broken!

He stood up and ran forward quickly, a dozen steps away, and the ladder was climbed.

The sea rushed in frantically from behind him, and he was racing against it.

Compared to the other sailors, his belly was a little fat, which made him a little out of breath when he ran, and when he began to climb the ladder, the sea water was already under his feet, and the vegetables behind him were floating.

Climb, hurry up!

Just as he was using his hands and feet to climb the ladder, which was only three meters high, he heard a terrified voice from above.

"Damage the pipe, damage the pipe immediately, close the cabin door!"

"No!" The leader shouted, "I'm down there!" ”

He continued to climb up, but the hatch above had already closed, and the spiral switch, which was squeaking, was being tightened in circles.

"Wait for me!" The leader shouted, and finally climbed to the top, he grabbed the ladder with one of his hands, and knocked on the hatch at the top with the other: "I'm inside, let me out!" ”

Beneath his feet, the sea was pouring up, and fear had begun to rise in his heart.

There was no response from above.

"Boom, boom, boom!" He banged the hatch with his hand, trying to get the people above to open it, but to no avail, no one on top of him paid any attention to him.

He began to screw the hatch himself, but it didn't work, and when it was closed from the outside, the inside couldn't be opened.

The sea water poured under his feet, and he felt the coldness of the sea, and became even more frightened, knocking on it with a loud bang.

"Let me go, you guys are murdering!"

Above, two sailors with pale faces, of course, heard the knocking sound below, but, they did not dare to open, the sea was about to rush up, and they did not have time.

Is it to die a person, to sacrifice a warship in the sea, the answer to this multiple-choice question is very clear.

The sea water continued to pour up, poured into the chest, head, the body of the leader soldier was cold under the immersion of the seawater, he couldn't hold back in the water, spitting bubbles in strings, at the same time, the cold sea water, also entered his lungs, he coughed heavily, struggling, this process did not take long, his consciousness blurred, his body stiffened, and fell into boundless darkness.
