Chapter 1230: Where to go

Chapter 1230

"Red Beard" is the body of an armored cruiser after all! When struck by lightning, the three rudders at the stern were hit to their maximum instantly! The 180-meter-long hull quickly twisted on the sea, and the effect of a small-scale single-sided lightning strike was really ordinary, especially when the speed of the torpedo on the opposite side was still relatively slow. After continuously changing the course, the "red beard" Resolutely avoided three torpedoes. And when the warship, which was tilted a bit due to the steering, had not adjusted its condition, the three British torpedo aircraft on the right launched an attack!

The same three torpedo volleys, this time the British posted closer! The angle is more tricky! The last torpedo was even shot at a distance of 400 meters! Count Luknar’s fleet air defense firepower is almost zero, so the British can boldly launch lightning strikes as close as possible!

The first torpedo slipped over 10 meters from the stern. The second torpedo seemed to have a problem with its depth setting, and it ran under the hull! The third torpedo hit the middle of the "Red Beard" hull! Although the charge of this aviation torpedo is only 90KG. But the opposite is not a cutting-edge battleship, but a 10,000-ton-class armored cruiser that has been in service for 20 years!

Although the level of underwater protection was improved as much as possible during the design, because of the technological gap and the hardware conditions of the warship itself (in the pre-fearless period, what good mine protection did the 10,000-ton battleship want?) This torpedo still made the "red "Beard" can't walk around! At the moment it hit the hull plate, the fuze successfully detonated the explosive at the thunderhead! The 90 kilograms of TNT explosives directly tore the fragile shell, under the action of huge kinetic energy, tons of sea water and debris poured into the empty warehouse, and pierced the partition again! However, the defense depth of 2 meters is obviously not enough for this explosion.

Under the impact of strong water pressure and the cutting of fragments, the final defense was also broken down. A large amount of seawater poured into one of the boiler chambers, instantly causing three boilers to turn off, and several important steam pipes were also cut off. The Turkish furnaceman who was in it was swallowed by flames and sea water before even reacting!

This blow brought about 600 tons of water into the armored cruiser originally produced in Germany. If this is only the case, it is not too bad luck. Anyway, the British bombers are out of ammunition, but the next thing is unexpected! The last O-400 bomber that threw the torpedo did not pull up when it finally climbed...

Then the wing of the plane successfully hit the rear mast of the "Red Beard", and the landing gear took away half of the chimney of the German armored cruiser! The fierce armor produced sparks that directly ignited the engine located on the wing, and the flames directly detonated the remaining fuel tank along the engine oil path. In this way, the plane exploded directly in the air within a few seconds!

"For an instant, I seemed to feel a thunder from the enemy less than 10 meters above my head! I just felt an indescribable loud noise pressing on me, and then I couldn't hear anything. The shock wave spread to the surroundings, and the open-air cannon nests and personnel were blown away like dust. Several cabins were blown apart by the fire storm from the sky. At this moment, I seemed to be in hell. Debris kept beating the ceiling, I even saw two unfortunate colleagues knocked down by shrapnel falling from the sky."

Imagine a sudden explosion of several hundred kilograms of fuel above your head, and then pushing tons of pieces of wood down! This is definitely not a good experience for any warship. The middle and rear parts of the entire warship were instantly covered by the falling fire rain. But it looks very sad, and the actual situation is uncertain, but in the eyes of the British, this warship should not be able to join the battle below.

"It seems that we have destroyed at least one large warship of the Allied Powers. Although the cost was a bomber." Lieutenant Colonel Weilun obviously saw what happened just now. At this time, almost the entire hull of this armored cruiser was shrouded in smoke and fire. In his opinion, it is not too much to judge it as a serious injury, and it is even possible to count it as damage, after all, the fire is so big.

"The British are gone, what shall we do?" The group of British bombers that had spent all their ammunition flew away. The British also launched an attack on the Sultan Osman I, but it had no effect except for a near-missing bomb. The near-missing bomb was a bit far away. Although it destroyed several cabins, it was for this battleship. The impact is relatively limited. Therefore, at present, the Earl’s fleet has 1 fast battleship and 1 armored cruiser remaining intact.

"First help Redbeard put out the fire, and then I need to think about what to do next." The count said after looking at the large torch-like armored cruiser that had been burned in the distance.

"Major General, don't we go to Romania?" an officer said with some confusion.

"No, not going. We have enough ammunition and fuel and are in good condition. If we don't use this opportunity to do something, then I'm so sorry for today's turbulent moment!" The count waved his hand and walked quickly. Go to the side of the chart.

As an experienced hunter who has experienced the baptism of war, Earl Luknar has smelled a glimmer of opportunity from the intricate situation! He is now forcing himself to calm down ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and straighten out the context of the whole thing. Judging from the telegram sent, his fleet is definitely not the only victim of this air strike. In Burgas Port, Constantinople, even in the remote port of Ereli. The British Air Force assembled hundreds of twin and quad bombers to launch a brutal attack on the Allied Mediterranean fleet.

To be honest, the situation on my side is already very good, and there is an armored cruiser temporarily out of combat. The fire just now looked very sad, but in fact it was just a little ugly outside. The real trouble was the torpedo. However, because of the problem of less charge, it will not be fatal, and the two fast battleships on the Constantinople side are estimated to be unable to perform combat missions for a long time in the future. As for his teacher, Comrade Spey, who also holds the title of earl, the situation is still unknown, but it is said that in order to help him, the entire air force over Turkey has been mobilized. It seems that the situation is not so good.

The British moved, so did the Russians, and their fleet went out. Just last night, at the beginning, Count Luknar thought that the goal was himself. But now it seems that is not the case. There is no shadow of the Russian fleet within 30 kilometers around him, and the Russians will definitely not go out to go shopping at this time.
