Chapter 131: Covering Strike

I've heard how big the Prince of Wales and Lexington are in the rumored fleet, and I've heard how big their main guns and carrier-based aircraft are.

But when the shells of the Prince of Wales' main guns really appeared in front of them, Nelson and a group of shipwives couldn't help but gasp.

All along, who has the largest caliber of the main gun among the ship's mothers?

It is known to be the Yamato super battleship with 45 times caliber 460 mm guns.

Of course, since the advent of over-modification technology, there have been many ships with larger-caliber main guns, and those are special cases, that is, a few of the ships of the same position of a certain ship have been fortunate enough to undergo over-modification.

The conventional artillery shell used by Super Big Sister Yamato - Type 91 armor-piercing projectile, one bomb is almost two meters long (1. 953 meters).

It is no exaggeration to say that against small targets such as destroyers, the big sister of the people does not need to explode with shells, and can smash through your hull just by smashing them with shells.

In this way, it is conceivable how large the 550mm Type 3 fired shotgun used by the Prince of Wales was.

The three-type fired shotgun is a flowering bomb that we introduce in the vernacular, and it explodes countless fragments when it is shot out, which can be said to be an all-round attack up and down, left and right, and it pursues not armor piercing or explosion, but directly pasting your face.

What it disperses is not conventional steel shrapnel, but incendiary shells of various chemical incendiary substances, and what is needed is to shoot out the shells and explode, and then the fragments stick to the target and burn directly on the target.

It's better if the shards hit you directly, and start burning directly in your bones, if it's a person or an animal...... Think about what would happen if you stuffed a burning briquette in your stomach.

Type 3 shells are also designed to be used as anti-aircraft shells for large warships, that is, Type 3 air defense shells.

At that time, people wanted to use the large-caliber advantage of the battleship's main guns to give the battleship greater air defense capability, and thought that a three-type fired shrapnel would go up and directly empty the opponent's fighters.

Well, theoretically quite doable.

At that time, fighter formations were not like modern fighters, and in order to avoid collisions, two fighters had to be separated very far apart.

At that time, it was small and simple. In order to be able to see each other's pilots' gestures clearly, and even hear each other's voices, dozens of planes were crowded together when they flew in formation, and they would disperse during the battle.

A single shot of the Type 3 fired shotgun was the killing range of a spherical space with a diameter of about 300 meters, and theoretically it could kill an enemy flying squadron with a single shot, and at that time an aircraft carrier was only three or four squadrons of carrier-based aircraft.

There are also large base-type targets that can be used against the ground. For example, enemy airfields.

An airfield is so big that you drop a conventional bomb how many rounds do you have to drop to make sure you destroy their runway, or how many times do you have to blow up so many planes on the ground to destroy them all.

The three-type fired shotgun theoretically only needs a few rounds to complete.

Ahem, theoretically.

In fact, this thing was a pit at the time, all kinds of outstanding performances during test launches, all kinds of Muggles in actual combat, not to mention a formation of carrier-based aircraft with one gun, and this thing has not shot down many planes at all during the whole war.

And it's a danger even on large warships. It was so unstable that it might explode at any point, and it was rumored that the traitor in the stomach gave her the fatal blow when the Mutsu was attacked.

Therefore, this thing is usually not used much, and Hu Yi only thought of it when he saw the entire sea surface of the number of greedy snakes.

As for why the Prince of Wales was equipped with this kind of shell when it was first renovated, the reason is ...... Hehe, guess.

Seventeen three-way bombs weighing several tons streaked across the sky, crossed the heads of the ship's girls, and suddenly exploded when they accurately entered the sky above the greedy snake group.

The special design allows them to form huge inverted bowl-shaped meteor fireworks in the air. Countless trailing fragments shot out like a giant firework. Splendid.

Behind the dazzling fireworks, there is a danger that can be deadly.

The explosion of the three-type incendiary shrapnel split more than 8,000 fragments (Yamato's three-type incendiary shrapnel seems to be more than 4,000 fragments), and a large number of fragments radiated more than 8,000 incendiary bombs.

If more than 8,000 incendiary bombs were to explode in the most ideal environment, how powerful can you imagine how powerful they can be?

What is the ideal output environment for Incendiary Bombs? Just look at the dense sea beasts and snakes on the sea.

The three-type incendiary shrapnel exploded and scattered out of the incendiary bomb has the characteristics of both incendiary and fragmentation bullets, and the incendiary bomb is sticky, once it comes into contact with the greedy snake, it is directly attached to their skin, and it cannot be shaken off.

The incendiary bomb emits intense heat. In an instant, a dark blue transparent flame burned on their bodies, directly evaporating the water in the bodies of the greedy snakes, and burning them into ashes.

Dive into the water to extinguish the fire?

It can't be extinguished, and the incendiary bomb is not a simple open flame, it is a chemical substance. It is the direct reaction of substances that produces strong heat, and they can burn even in thin air.

I saw that the sea surface of the area where the 17 incendiary shotguns exploded was dark red, and countless greedy snakes whose whole bodies were burned and melted, or who were pierced by shrapnel and began to burn and spray flames from the inside, struggled in pain, rolled, and roared.

The explosion radiation of the 17 Type 3 Burning Shotbombs caused the sea beasts on the sea surface to be cut off a layer alive, and a large number of sea beasts were directly burned to ashes, and even burned to ashes, revealing more greedy snakes below.

Far from being a single attack, the Prince of Wales was followed by more three-way bombs that crossed the heads of the ship's maidens and were thrown into the battlefield with precision, exploding more fireworks.

The legendary shipwright, who was eighty or ninety kilometers away, actually confidently hit the first hit early, and from the very beginning, the ship's guns played in unison, throwing countless shells.

Like the fixed-point shooting of Katyusha rockets, dense three-type fired shrapnel was projected one after another into the sky above the greedy snake, exploding one brilliant firework after another.

Terrifying range, terrifying span, terrifying rate of fire, terrifying hits, and terrifying power......

Across this dozens of kilometers of sea area, there is also a huge fleet in between, the Prince of Wales's cannonballs are as fast as swordfish, and countless cannonballs cross the heads of the ship's girls, leaving countless black afterimages under the blue sky, and the bullets rain down......

Countless ballistics formed a perfect arc of cannonballs in the air, and the swordfish-like neat and orderly cannonballs swam in them and flew to the end, and the mysterious cannonball rainbow spanned the entire sea area......

Together...... Heterogeneous metal ...... Storm.

The Triple Flame Shotgun does not have excellent penetrating ability, and its effectiveness against targets after obstacles is limited, but even so, when they are faced with a lifeform composed of carbonyl groups and water, the terrifying lethal effect shocks the audience.

Steel, which burns you to molten iron, flesh, burns you directly to ashes...... When the exposed sea is burned, it burns under the sea.

After the acceleration of the explosive air flow, the fragments of the Prince of Wales's Type 3 bomb can penetrate dozens of meters of sea water and attack underwater targets.

The Prince of Wales alone was a battleship, with 18 550 mm guns firing at full speed, instantly pouring out the firepower of a large battleship formation, plus the terrifying lethality of the three types of fireshells against small units.

In a short time, the Prince of Wales completed the strategic purpose of a full-coverage strike that only a fleet formation of Nelson and other ships could complete.

The momentum was not as good as the salvo of the main guns of the fleet of many warships, but in terms of strategic effect, the Prince of Wales actually managed to surpass an entire fleet formation.

The fully modern automatic ammunition feeding system coupled with the ship's own unscientificity, after aiming at the angle, almost simply fired the shell at the fastest speed, the Prince of Wales almost perfectly played the theoretical data of the main gun.

Obtaining his own attack effect through modern equipment, the Prince of Wales's arrogant face couldn't help but show a soft smile: "The fantasy is good, the Admiral is really convenient." ”

To be able to do such an astonishing degree, in addition to the Prince of Wales' own strength, it is more dependent on Hu Yi's special ability.

The combat platform that comes with the system......

360-degree vision of God without dead ends, instantaneous command and idea transmission, optimization of the attack deviation value of the ship's mother, the prediction of ballistics, and even direct control of the ship's hull......

Convenient?

Well, it's really convenient......

But Hu Yi's heart was broken.

"Ahh

Dream...... Still flying in the sky. (To be continued.) )
