Chapter 1104: Norwegian Sea Battle II

Slide 1104

Mochi turned first, followed by Blücher, while the light cruiser Emden, which was originally at the tail, gradually surpassed Mochi, and he will open the way as the fleet’s eyes.

"It's really the queen! Their speed is faster than us now!" Thomas first discovered the opponent, so the fleet speeded up earlier and the speed was faster. At this time, the speed of the two Queen-class battleships reached 24 knots. The Mauchi and Blücher are now only 23.5 knots due to their steering and late acceleration. So the distance between the two sides is still pulled in.

"It seems that we are going to race with the queen behind in one day today. In addition, we sent a report to the naval headquarters, saying that the British queens have recovered! Let them be careful." Colonel Lefetzoff ordered. . If there is an abnormality, report it first. This is the principle. However, just as he was about to report the situation, there was an abnormal situation that surprised the Colonel Lefetsov.

"Our radio communications have been disrupted!" an officer reported. "All common frequency bands cannot be connected to the fleet base." The colonel ran over and snatched the headset of the radio starter. At this time, only the harsh sound of a knife cutting glass could be heard in the headset. The voice in Lefetsov's ears was like a reminder, causing a panic in his heart.

"This is a trap. We can no longer contact the headquarters." The colonel took a deep breath, then threw the headset aside. His brows were twisted together, and he was lost in thought.

"Do we use the spare frequency band to contact the headquarters?" someone asked.

"Don't do this first, we need to find out the situation. The British can find out the frequency bands we frequently use, and then it is possible to find out the alternate bands. Our opportunity to contact is precious. Don't just waste it, order the fleet to increase to 25 knots. Above, I don’t believe it, the British can always keep up with us!” After a brief period of thought, the colonel decisively ordered, don’t you want to kill us? Then catch up with us first!

All the idle personnel were engaged in the coal shoveling operation, replacing the original two-hour coal shoveling work cycle with a 90-minute wave. When the sea breeze in the Norwegian Sea outside the battleship was cold and bitter, the three German battleships In the boiler warehouse of China, the men with bare bronze muscles are frantically throwing a shovel of coal into the boiler. The raging flames instantly engulfed these high-quality coal mines produced in the Ruhr area and converted hundreds of tons of boiler water into steam to drive the steam turbine located at the rear of the boiler bin.

When the temperature reaches a certain level, the heavy oil spray equipment located at the top of the boiler warehouse starts to work. The black viscous heavy oil is immediately vaporized and burned after entering the boiler warehouse, which improves the working status of the entire boiler warehouse. More surging steam enters the engine room at the rear from the small water tube boiler. The temperature of the entire boiler chamber rose to over 45 degrees. People who have exceeded double digits suffer heatstroke due to long hours of work and high temperatures.

However, their efforts are still very good. Today's sea conditions are very good. The two battlecruisers have reached a high speed of more than 26 knots! The distance between the queens is also slowly widening. "Let them slow down to the point where we can catch up enough!" Following Thomas' order, the servants of the "Queen" began to move, and the first group of destroyers rushed towards the behemoth in the distance like sharp daggers!

At this time, the sea conditions are not bad. These little guys can run at a speed of nearly 30 knots. They are like hungry wolves with hedgehogs gathered next to the elephant herd. After receiving the offensive signal, they charged up.

"Aim at the light cruiser and kill him! Wiesbaden disrupted their shock formation." The order was quickly conveyed through the semaphore, and the high quality of the German navy was quickly reflected in this contact.

Eight huge 350MM guns aimed at the British light cruiser that was also running wild on the sea. In order to open the way for the destroyer behind, the British had to hold the Wiesbaden in check, and shortly after he turned, four thick water columns Just 150 meters away from this battleship appeared!

boom! boom! A column of water followed the track of the British cruiser. Re-eject it from a safe distance. At this time, the other four British destroyers had rushed up, and the Wiesbaden was bravely blocked in front of the opponent like a shepherd.

The two sides approached at a relatively high speed of more than 50 knots. They entered from the front left of the German fleet, and the Wiesbaden bravely greeted them and shortened the fighting distance between the two sides to about 5 kilometers! Like a hedge between cavalry, when the two sides passed by, the fire net composed of 6 175MM heavy artillery and a large number of 120MM rapid-fire artillery will cover a destroyer to death!

The slender hull drawn a huge arc on the sea, and the two sides directly hit from 4500 meters to 1500 meters! The 175MM artillery with more than 4 rounds per minute played a decisive role in this close hand-to-hand combat. Only one shot was hit, and the 800-ton destroyer on the opposite side was forced to play GG! This semi-armor-piercing bomb hit the middle of the destroyer almost against the surface of the water, and the penetrating shell exploded in the boiler chamber at the bottom of the chimney. Accompanied by a series of loud noises ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the middle of the entire battleship is like a volcanic eruption. The fragments of the two chimneys were directly blown up to an altitude of nearly 100 meters. Some fragments even fell on the bridge of the Wiesbaden.

The Wiesbaden is like a skilled knight. After easily smashing an enemy’s head to pieces with the right hand chain hammer, the left hand rapier was also stretched out, and a series of 120mm shells landed on another British ship. On the body of the destroyer, the picric acid high-explosive bomb exploded and left nearly a hundred bullet holes on the side string of the destroyer more than 50 meters long. After entering hundreds of tons of sea water, the destroyer was forced to leave.

After a while, the other two destroyers still rushed up. One of them was killed by a 12-inch high-explosive shell from the Blücher before launching a torpedo, but this was not a direct hit. This shell The landing place was 15 meters away from the destroyer, but after the explosion, the shock wave generated by the high temperature and high pressure bubble explosion still engulfed countless fragments like a blade. It easily cut the fragile bottom of the destroyer, and the stern of the entire destroyer seemed to be doubled. The invisible big hand repeatedly tore and twisted, and the violent impact directly tore off the propellers at the tail of the battleship. Then the battleship was destroyed by the dense 150MM secondary artillery and turned into a burning torch in less than 2 minutes.
