“The British were beaten by the Germans?”
In the combined fleet of Jiaoben, when they learned that the British in the northernmost part of the country had encountered the Germans and were beaten up by them, the people of Jiaoben were so happy!
“Well, this news has spread all over the United States. It is said that two of the five battleships of the British Empire were sunk, two were seriously damaged, and even the only aircraft carrier was seriously damaged. It was barely hanging on and barely returned to the port. People on the dock said that the aircraft carrier had been burned out and could no longer be used!”
The soldiers vividly described the tragic situation of the British Empire after the attack, and Nanyun Chuichi’s mouth slowly began to curl up!
Although he did not have the opportunity to take revenge personally, the evildoers will be punished by their own evil, and Kan Anning finally got his retribution!
“What are the casualties of the British army, and what are the casualties of their senior generals?”
Nanyun Chuichi actually wanted to know whether Kanning was dead or alive, but if he asked directly, he would seem a little petty, so he changed the way he said it, but the meaning was still the same.
“It is said that the British army suffered heavy casualties, with more than 3,000 killed, more than 2,000 injured, and more than 1,000 missing. Most of the missing people are crew members of the two sunken warships, but now it seems that there is little hope of survival!”
In December, the biggest threat to fighting at sea is actually freezing to death by falling into the water!
Especially when fighting in the north, the temperature of the sea water in the north is probably only around zero degrees. If a person falls into the water, it will freeze in less than half an hour!
If a naval battle is fought faster, it may be over in half an hour or an hour, but if it is fought slower, it may take several hours or even most of the day! With such a long time, the soldiers who fell into the water are likely to be frozen into popsicles, so once they are reported missing, there is basically no hope of survival!
“”Haha, this is really good news!”
Nanyun Chuichi was very proud. If Kan Anning was lucky enough not to die, he could not wait to see the wonderful expression on the other party’s face!
Boom!
Just when Nanyun Chuichi was getting carried away, the Kaga aircraft carrier suddenly shook slightly, and a huge explosion soon reached their ears!
“What happened? Where did the explosion happen?”
Nanyun Chuichi was experienced. He judged that the Kaga aircraft carrier itself should not have been hit, otherwise the shaking would definitely be more severe. However, this time the explosion must not be far away from them, otherwise, an aircraft carrier of tens of thousands of tons would not be able to shake like this!
Boom!
Before anyone could answer, another explosion was heard!
However, compared with the previous one, this explosion was louder!
Moreover, what made everyone in the bridge look pale was that with this loud noise, the entire Kaga aircraft carrier began to shake violently!
“Oh no, we were hit.”
Although they didn’t know whether it was a cannonball or a bomb that hit them, one thing was certain, that is, the explosion occurred on the aircraft carrier!
Several people hurriedly walked out of the bridge and looked towards the place where the explosion occurred!
It doesn’t matter if you don’t look, but you will be shocked when you see it!
A huge hole appeared at the tail end of the Kaga aircraft carrier. At this time, thick smoke was billowing out of the huge hole. The black smoke rushed straight into the sky, and the smoke column was hundreds of meters high!
And where the smoke came from, you can vaguely see traces of flashing fire, as if there is an open fire burning underneath?
“Quick, go put out the fire!”Come on, Chuichi Nanyun no longer cared about gloating over the British, because what happened to the British was happening to them!
A big hole was blown out of the deck of the Kaga aircraft carrier, and the high temperature generated by the explosion ignited the wooden structures under the deck of the aircraft carrier!
Compared with other countries, the military products of the Japanese often like to cut corners. For example, their Zero fighters, when the engine performance has no advantage over other countries’ fighters, in order to obtain greater air speed and flexibility, they reduced the fuselage materials of the fighters.
The result of the reduction is that the Zero fighter fuselage uses a large amount of wooden structure, which reduces their weight a lot. Under the same thrust, the speed and maneuverability of their aircraft have indeed improved a lot!
However, the consequences of doing so are also very serious, that is, the Zero fighter is extremely fragile compared to fighters from other countries!
After being hit by machine guns or even cannons, fighters from other countries can often struggle for a while, and there are even many pilots who return to the airport with scarred fighters!
And the Japanese army… Once the Zero fighter was hit, the wooden structure would easily catch fire, especially when the enemy was equipped with incendiary bullets. This was a surefire hit!
Thus, the Mariana lighter joke appeared!
The shoddy workmanship of the Foot Basin people was not only seen on the Zero fighter, but also on their aircraft carriers!
The tonnage of fighter planes during World War II was very light, so the requirements for the deck were not high. However, the steel production in the Foot Basin was seriously insufficient, and most of the limited steel was used to build the Yamato-class battleships!
As a result, a large number of aircraft carrier decks Wooden structures are used below. These structures generally do not affect normal use. However, once an explosion or fire occurs, wooden structures will add fuel to the fire. Compared with steel structures, wooden structures are easier to ignite and the fire is more difficult to control!
Therefore, in the Battle of Midway, after the Japanese aircraft carriers were attacked, once they were hit, they would often lose their combat effectiveness and then sink.
On the other hand, the Eagle Sauce’s aircraft carrier, Yorktown, was sunk and salvaged, and it can fight again after being repaired. This excellent damage control ability is far better than the ordinary people!
“The enemy is in the air!”
At this time, everyone heard the sound of planes in the air, so they all looked up at the sky and saw teams of silver-winged fighter planes passing over their heads! The iron cross logo on the fuselage of these planes was particularly dazzling!
“Fire, where are the anti-aircraft guns? Fire and shoot them down!”
The Germans came so suddenly that the Japanese army was not prepared at all and had not discovered the enemy before. As a result, they were suddenly attacked by the enemy, which caught them off guard. A large number of anti-aircraft guns became decorations, and the gunners of the anti-aircraft guns were not in place. When the Germans attacked, the entire fleet had few anti-aircraft guns to fire back!
This made Nanyun Chuichi so angry that he vomited blood!
