Chapter 193 Chasing the Big Crab
The big crab also knew that if it ran slowly, it would end up here, so the big crab ran away as fast as it could. The speed was relatively fast, faster than the Royal Oak and the three slow battleships, and faster than the Royal Oak and the other three slow battleships.
Light cruisers, destroyers, and other battleships that are known for their speed are slower.
In fact, according to the Big Crab's best state, except for the 3A destroyers and 4A destroyers, all other warships are not as fast as it. However, under the attack of the previous money-burning style of the Big Crab, the Big Crab's oxygen poisoning is more serious.
Its gills are now very damaged and it can no longer reach its fastest speed. Moreover, oxygen poisoning has caused the big crab to feel dizzy and have big problems with its thinking. Only then can it be beaten by the heavy cruiser, which is not particularly fast.
The battleship follows.
The 3A battleship also chased after the heavy cruiser. The two sisters Royal Oak and United Force formed a column and followed behind. The three of them were the most powerful, but they were the slowest. They could only follow behind at their maximum speed.
Dragging at the end were Miss Dignity, Lee Bo's initial destroyer, and three 4A destroyers.
Now that the big crab has come to the sea, Miss Dignity can't play as big a role as before. Because the big crab walks on the sea, the torpedo can only attack a small part of the tip of the big crab's claw that is in contact with the sea. It is difficult to attack.
It is too big, and the power of the aviation torpedoes of the two aircraft carriers is too small, basically no threat to the big crab, so the torpedo attack has basically been abandoned. Depth bombs are exploded underwater to kill the target with shock waves. Now the contact area between the big crab and the sea
It's very small. It's almost impossible to kill a big crab with the water column generated by a depth charge.
Therefore, for the 3A aircraft carrier, the only way to kill the big crab is to use bombs. Miss Dignity can theoretically use anchor mines to attack, but the mines are not bombs after all. The falling speed is too slow, and the big crabs are too fast, so attack with anchor mines.
The big crab is a lucky move, and the anchor mine that is not attacked can easily pose a huge threat to the chasing warships. Therefore, at this stage, Miss Dignity can only use bombs to attack the big crab.
The main force used by Miss Dignity to attack was twenty-four Swordfish torpedo bombers. This kind of biplane was very poor in history. It was pure luck to break Bismarck's leg, because theoretically, Bismarck was
Being immune to Swordfish's aerial torpedoes, Bismarck's leg was broken by Swordfish. It can only be said that Bismarck's luck ran out when he killed Hood in seconds. Swordfish in this world are the same as in history. Their performance is very average, although they have achieved
A good record, but that was under the command of Miss Dignity. The Swordfish's attack effect has always been very good, but most of it was achieved by relying on mines. Miss Dignity herself was not confident in using bombs to attack big crabs.
However, no matter how unconfident the two aircraft carrier ladies were, the attack still had to be launched. After adjustments, Miss Dignity once again sent out an attack wave composed of twelve Swordfish and twelve Sea Hurricanes. The twelve Swordfish carried 600 kilograms of
As for bombs, the Swordfish was designed to carry torpedoes and mines for attack. It has no diving ability, and its horizontal bombing accuracy is impressive. Fortunately, the Big Crab does not have long-range attack capabilities, and the Swordfish can drop bombs at low altitude to ensure a hit rate.
Royal Oak was a little anxious in the first round of attacks. When it saw the two sisters attacking with combined strength, Royal Oak realized its own problem. Royal Oak's second round of attacks adjusted its target and also aimed at the joints of the big crab's legs.
, but this is the first time Royal Oak has participated in actual combat, and the gunnery skills are still very problematic. The adjusted second round of attacks is not very effective. Only one shell hit the big crab's leg, and the other seven shells all flew away.
, the two sisters of the United Force did not fare much better. All twelve cannonballs of St. Stephen were shot away, nine of the twelve cannonballs of Miss Eugen were shot, and the remaining three were all hit on the legs of the big crab.
It can be said that the second round of attacks by the three historical battleship-level battleships was a complete failure. They did not participate in many actual battles, and gunnery requires a lot of practice to master. Although they are historical battleships with a 100% hit rate, if they want to
It takes a lot of gunnery skills to hit the weak points of monsters, and the three battleships require a lot of practice to master.
Fatty Gao, who was paying attention throughout the whole process, also discovered this problem. He didn't expect the hit rate of the three battleships to be so low. He had seen the Kent heavy cruiser take down the super crab before. The Kent ship's wife killed all eight legs of the super crab with one leg shot.
There was a discount. At that time, Fatty Gao felt that this was not very difficult. As long as it was a historical battleship, it could be done. But now, Fatty Gao feels that he was wrong. This is very difficult. From the current point of view, if the three battleships are to be discounted, it will be a big deal.
The legs basically have to be lucky.
The three battleships changed their targets after the second round of attacks. The two sisters of the United Force all missed the first round of attacks. The two sisters thought that their hasty firing resulted in a low hit rate. They wanted to launch a second round of attacks, but the second round of attacks failed.
The round of attacks showed that they could not make any breakthrough in a short period of time. Royal Oak, who also discovered the problem at this time, suggested that they attack the big crab's eyes together, so that even if they missed the eyes, they could still hit the big crab's shell, so the three
The battleship girls quickly reached an agreement and prepared to attack the big crab's eyes.
The heavy cruisers that have been chasing the big crab have been attacking the big crab's legs. The destroyers and light cruisers accelerated past the big crab and launched torpedoes, interfering with the big crab's escape. The destroyers were closer to the big crab, and because there were no restrictions on aircraft performance,
In this world, the performance of ship-based torpedoes is much higher than that of aviation torpedoes, and destroyers rely on their numerical advantage. If the big crab does not dodge, there will always be torpedoes that hit the tip of its legs when it contacts the sea surface. If the aviation torpedoes of the big crab do not
Afraid, he has already seen the torpedoes of the 3A aircraft carrier, and there is basically no threat to it, but the carrier-based torpedoes are different, especially the oxygen torpedo of the brave little Lolita. The big crab is most impressed by this.
It was the risky attacks of these destroyers that kept the big crab within the shooting range of the three slow battleships. Fatty Gao didn't have much energy to pay attention to other things at this time. He was now concentrating on observing the brave little Loli. The brave little Loli suddenly
He was very excited when he saw the battle. He was fine following Miss Dignity before, but now he is attacking the big crab at close range. Fatty Gao is very worried and has been paying close attention to Brave Little Loli. His other two battleships are historical battleships and do not need
He directs, so he has a lot of energy to focus on the brave little loli.
