What is a dimensionality reduction strike!

Airship bombing, simple aiming, plus armor-piercing aerial bombs... If the speed of the airship is not too slow, and there is no precision-guided weapon, this is really the way of warfare in the [-]st century!

Isn't this a proper dimensionality reduction blow!
However, for people in this era, they don't even know what a dimensionality reduction strike is.

In fact, it is essentially the same as when Europeans used guns and artillery to bully Indians in the New World.

The only difference?

It is now that these white people have become the targets of dimensionality reduction. They are like the Indians who wielded stone axes back then. It was completely destroyed in the bombing.

However, the "Riachuelo" class imitated the "Nanhua class" central armored fort design to give it extremely tenacious vitality.Although bombs are constantly falling on the warship, it is still tenaciously floating on the water.

The bombing did not stop, and finally, amidst the heavy bombing, the battleship "Riachuelo" suffered the most fatal blow - an armor-piercing aerial bomb smashed through the top deck between the two funnels behind the conning tower , the armor-piercing bomb was smashing through the chimney, but it pulled through and then fell, and fell into the boiler room of the "Riachuelo", and then a center bloomed in the boiler room, In the violent explosion, the boiler was destroyed on the spot, and those Brazilian sailors who were burning the boiler were either killed by the explosion, or were scalded to death in the boiler room by the high-temperature steam.

The boiler room directly became a huge steam room.

The "Riachuelo" also lost power completely!

The bombing lasted less than 20 minutes, and the "Riachuelo" had already suffered five 200kg armor-piercing bombs, plus dozens of near-missed bombs.The 6800-ton combat ship caught fire and lost its power. The deck was covered in blood red, and there were countless disabled sailors screaming and screaming between their stumps and broken arms.

Even if the battleship is blown up like this, it is still stubbornly floating on the surface of the sea, just refusing to sink...

It really deserves to be the unsinkable ship of the Central Iron Fortress!

However, Baron Radario was still very clear about the fact that the ship had completely lost its combat effectiveness, and he immediately gave the order to abandon the ship. When he gave the order to abandon the ship, it suddenly burst into flames.But just after he gave the order, a naval officer beside him told him that the smoke-filled cruiser "Set de Settemburu" exploded in the cabin just now, and the ammunition depot was detonated by fire!The violent explosion directly blew through the hull of the warship. At the moment of the explosion, the warship of more than [-] tons seemed to be cut off by a giant, and was blown into two pieces, and then sank quickly, but only in the blink of an eye. Kungfu disappeared from people's sight and sank into the sea.

The bombing is still going on, and one after another bombs are constantly falling on the "Rio de Janeiro", "Aquidaba" and "São Paulo" and other warships. Now this fleet is facing air strikes from the air , There is no parrying power at all, even if the battleship of the Central Ironclad Fortress is very strong, but in such a bombing, it is only a matter of time before it sinks.

"Sir, airships, lots of airships! They're bombing our fleet in the harbor!"

On the balcony of the high-ranking mansion, the desperate voices of his subordinates rang in the ears of Marquis Tamandale. At this time, the once cheerful music had disappeared, and everyone crowded to the balcony or in front of the window—they could even get out from here. I saw the tragedy in the port with my own eyes. The fleet that once symbolized the power of the Brazilian Empire turned into a pile of burning bonfires on the sea during the bombing.

"My fleet..."

When Marquis Tamandale groaned in his heart, there was a breath of fear around him.

airship!

Daming once again used the airship to teach them how to be human!

Admiral Tamandale just stood blankly on the balcony, looking up at the airships lining up to drop bombs in the sky, feeling remorse in his heart.

He never thought that Da Ming would attack from the sky!

Why didn't he think of it?

Daming... what he is best at is attacking from the air, this is what they are best at!

How could this be forgotten?

Is it because past experiments have proved that it is difficult for airships to attack warships?

This is too conceited!
Now the Ming Empire has used bombs to tell him the price of his conceit!
When Admiral Tamandale fell into self-blame and annoyance, Lieutenant Commander George of the British Navy, who was attending the ball, also stared at the war in front of him with a solemn expression.

He stared dumbfounded at the harbor, at the warships billowing in thick smoke, those Brazilian warships were blown up, not small wooden boats of hundreds of tons, but battleships and cruisers of thousands of tons
"Da Ming, you taught everyone a lesson again!"

As a naval officer, George is no stranger to airships. After Britain spent a lot of money to get airships from Ming Dynasty, Britain also manufactured hundreds of airships. Like other countries, Britain also tried to use airships to attack warships, but the result made them Long breathed a sigh of relief - the airship is not a big threat to the warship, because the bombing accuracy is too low.

But what about now?
Facing the bombing in front of him, another question that once made everyone despair appeared in George's mind.

In the face of such an air strike, how should the navy fight against the airships in the sky?

The 10-inch cannon is definitely impossible to hit, and the [-]-inch secondary gun doesn't seem to be able to do it either... The rate of fire of these artillery is slow, and the firing angle is only a few degrees, so there is no way to hit the target in the air!

The only one that can hit air targets is the Gatling machine gun, but the shooting angle of the Gatling gun is not high-this kind of artillery is used to deal with small boats and strafing the deck of enemy ships, so I didn't think about it at all Use it to hit air targets.

In this way, doesn't it mean that in the face of the bombing of the airship, the warship can only sit there and be beaten?

Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on George's forehead and back!

As a naval officer, he certainly knows that the "Riachuelo" class battleship is a very powerful warship. Its displacement of 6800 tons may not seem large, but it is still a battleship with a central ironclad castle, and its protection ability is very strong. Strong enough to withstand the bombardment of heavy artillery, it is definitely a warship with excellent performance.

Now such a powerful warship was sunk by the airship without even being able to fight back. This is really too unjust...

冤？
Injustice?

This is not a question of injustice or injustice, after all, the times have changed now, and now is the era of the sky.Belongs to the era of Ming Dynasty...
