Chapter 1122: Blücher's Final One Battle Two
Chapter 1122 Blücher's last battle 2
At this time, because of fuel and injuries, Blücher could only maintain a speed of 20 knots. Less than half an hour after the two sides entered visual distance, the battleship Queen Elizabeth had included the target within the range of its main gun. In!
"Hurry up and send them to the bottom of the sea, we have to do business!" Thomas said annoyingly after taking a look at the two warships in the distance. The so-called losing the watermelon and picking up the sesame seeds is the mood of Thomas now. Letting go of a super fearless and catching a German first-generation fearless warship, there is really no sense of accomplishment!
The Queen Elizabeth and Malaya turned right by 2 compass points and quickly approached the target. The distance between the two sides approached about 14 kilometers at one time. The British fleet relied on fierce output to paralyze opponents, and then used torpedoes to solve them. However, they forgot that the technical and tactical level of the German navy can never be ignored! Even the earliest dreadnought ship will definitely make opponents who despise it pay a heavy price!
Nine 12-inch guns spit out long flames, and the Blücher caught the opponent in the fourth half salvo, and in the fifth shot, a shell fell on the fore deck of the Queen Elizabeth ! This shell easily smashed several decks and exploded on the dome. The violent impact and shock even made part of the dome fall off, and a thick and long smoke column rushed out from the breach.
However, this was only the beginning. In the eighth half salvo, two shells once again hit the Queen Elizabeth battleship. The first shell tore the armor belt of the gun gallery, putting a 6-inch gun and a gun group. It was wiped off the battleship alive, leaving a huge hole by the way. Like the huge mouth of a monster. Another shell hit the 13-inch armor belt, leaving only a small pit less than 6 inches deep.
Intensive and accurate attacks made the powerful Queen Elizabeth battles feel a little uncomfortable. A few minutes later, Thomas ordered the fleet to evade. It is like two lions facing a hungry wolf who is still fighting against a trapped beast. Although the former has an absolute advantage, the latter's combat skills and sharp teeth still make the former a little offensive.
"Don't worry about the light cruiser behind, hand him over to our cruiser. Let's focus our firepower to kill the Blücher." Following Thomas' order, the two Queen-class battleships aimed their main guns at their opponents at the same time. , A total of 16 15-inch heavy guns spewed out flames alternately, and a shell weighing 871kg drew a deadly arc in the air and flew towards the German battlecruiser in the distance.
The Blücher was completely surrounded by water jets nearly a hundred meters high. In front of the absolute superior firepower, in front of the two most elite battleships in Britain, which were three times larger than their own artillery and nearly doubled in number, The Blücher was quickly suppressed!
The British were also very accurate. The re-adjusted queen successfully hit the bow of the Blücher in the fifth round of a semi-volley. This shell fell near the old wound and was damaged. The hull could not withstand such a heavy blow. After the fire flashed, a large piece of armor plate was smashed to pieces with the sound of explosion and metal breaking, and the violent impact quickly spread to the surroundings, forming a square meter. A large amount of sea water poured in along the gap in the large hole in the city, adding hundreds of tons of water in a short period of time.
"Release the smoke! Otherwise we won't be able to support it for long." Looking at the warship that was almost covered by the water column, Colonel Herhaus decisively ordered the warship to evade. The thick smoke emitted by groups of smoke cans gradually obscured the slender hull, and when it finally concealed into it, the British shelling also temporarily came to an end.
"It's really troublesome," Thomas said now looking at the smoke screen in the distance. It takes time for the sea breeze to disperse the smoke, and when the smoke screen gradually dissipated, Thomas suddenly discovered that the German fleet did not continue to sail south but turned northwest under the cover of the smoke screen. Because the wind was blowing to the northwest, the German fleet was shrouded in the smoke screen. On the contrary, the time is longer. Now, for Colonel Hullhaus, how to delay as long as possible needs to be considered. Therefore, the Blücher's continuous hitting and dragging is to prevent the British from playing comfortably!
When Thomas caught up with the Blücher again, the opponent was on the verge of leaving. Under the cover of the smoke screen, he once again turned to avoid the opponent's shelling. This made Thomas feel like he couldn't use it.
"Destroy me a team of destroyers, let's get closer! Kill them!" Looking at the wall clock on the wall, almost an hour has passed, the other party still walked unhurriedly, and Mao Qi has not been found in other directions. The trail of the USS made Thomas a little anxious, but as a qualified fleet commander, even in this case, his deployment was still dripping. The fleet approached the opponent and released the seaplane to help observe, and at the same time, to prevent German warships. Gou hurriedly jumped the wall, he also arranged a small group of destroyers to be deployed on the combat side, if Blücher dared to rush, then the destroyer's torpedoes would push back the opponent in minutes!
The British fleet accelerated again, approaching a smoke screen and preparing to press it up when the smoke cleared again, and then settled the opponent cleanly. The British fleet was in front of the German fleet's original track side, regardless of whether Blücher continued to move forward. Still turning, Thomas can guarantee to press up immediately!
"Let's spank them!" And just when the British were about to bite the German fleet coming from the front~www.wuxiaspot.com~Two figures, one large and one small, suddenly appeared through the smoke screen, from behind the two queens The British light cruiser rushed to the back of the palace! At this time, the two light cruisers were only about 7 kilometers away from the German warships!
Yes, you read that right, it is 7 kilometers! Don’t forget, the range of the 6-inch guns on the light cruiser is very leisurely. If they are more than 10 kilometers apart, it is difficult to hit the opponent. So when the two queens attacked the Blücher, the other two British light The cruiser approached the Wiesbaden and engaged in close combat. After realizing that he could not cause effective damage to the British battleship, Colonel Herhaus decisively locked the target on the light cruiser that was closer to him and more vulnerable!
Although the Blücher was hit at least 4 times in the previous battle, even a wounded wolf is definitely not a rabbit to resist. Before the British reacted, the Blücher was fully fired. The light cruiser Lin Xian has been shrouded in flames!
