Chapter 1243: 3 party melee 2

Chapter 1243 Three-way melee (2)

After a series of explosions, the entire rear of the turret exploded like a blooming bun. The violent explosion swept tons of shrapnel across the entire front deck, and even the bridge became shaky in the successive blows. The people who were extinguishing the fire on the ship It was directly killed by this blow. With the help of the sea breeze, the fire quickly spread from the front deck to the rear, and the entire battleship became a fire dragon under the continuous blow of the Prince Eugen. The thick smoke rushed into the air hundreds of meters high, even in the air dozens of kilometers away, you can see the scene of the Russian dreadnought struggling before death. what? You said to release the smoke screen? Please, the superstructure camp has become a big torch, you can see you even if you put a smoke screen...

The Tegerhof's performance was a little worse. After it had only time to paste a shell on Queen Maria's ass, it happened to ran into the Russian destroyer and two former fearless ships that rushed desperately! "These annoying guys!" The captain of the Tegerhof could not help cursing. When the two sides pulled in to a certain extent, the 12-inch guns of the former Russian Dreadnoughts were also a threat, let alone more than half a dozen destroyers. Come up with the torpedo and fight yourself!

"Hold the grass!" Horti, the captain of the Tegerhof, was in a terrible mood now. Considering his safety, he had to order the fleet to aim the main guns at the two approaching Front Dreadnoughts, and all The secondary artillery is used against destroyers. The 6 150MM secondary guns and 6 88MM anti-lightning guns that can still be used on the side strings, and even the 4 40MM rapid-fire guns originally used for air defense have been used.

"Run! You must not let those guys come near!" Following the captain's order, the Tegerhof speeded up again. There was no way. At this time, there was no destroyer next to the hapless fast battleship, the Spey fleet. There were not many destroyers in the first place. Four destroyers were beside the heavily damaged Rechadia, while providing air defense cover while trying their best to resist the attack of Russian destroyers. In addition, there are also 2 destroyers on standby next to the flagship, and then go to the two that can't find a large force in the smoke screen. The Austrians on the Tegerhof sadly find that they have to face at least 8 Russian destroyers! In addition, the distance of the rush out was too close. The two fleets were only 8,000 meters apart. When the Russian destroyer was found to rush up like a pack of wolves, the Tegerhof was only 5,500 meters away from the nearest Russian destroyer!

So, in the next moment, the Tegerhof, a fast battleship, immediately demonstrated its speed, proving that the 2.5 million pounds that the Austro-Hungarian Empire spent on it was absolutely worth it! After the 18 boilers were running at full speed, the Tegerhof, carrying hundreds of tons of water, ran out faster than the destroyer... Yes, you read that right, it runs faster than the Russian destroyer!

It stands to reason that destroyers generally run the fastest, but this speed refers to the theoretical speed and trial speed. There will always be some situations in combat, such as the maintenance of machinery, and today’s sea conditions. It is very friendly for battleships of more than 10,000 tons, but it is a little depressing for destroyers of several hundred tons. The Russian destroyers are relatively old, and their test speeds are only 30 knots. And now, at least 8 years have passed, how fast do you want to run?

While the Tegerhof was galloping on the sea at a speed of 25 knots, the shells were crazily tilted towards the approaching Russian destroyer. The first destroyed destroyer was directly detonated by a 150mm shell and turned into a torpedo tube located in the middle of the hull. With the violent explosion, the rapier-like hull was directly blown into two halves, and the second destroyer was killed by the main gun. It was originally used to deal with two former Russian fearless main gun shells. By accident, they landed near the destroyer, and the shells exploded after entering the water directly sifting the underwater part of the destroyer. After a few minutes, the destroyer went straight into the water.

Dense artillery shells fell around the Russian destroyer, blowing up water jets, flying shrapnel and flames spreading death and destruction all around, a moving wall of fire rose around the Tegerhof, like a hand-held flame giant The sword giant samurai madly disperse the bloodthirsty hyenas around! The endless explosions and the roar of engines rang through the battlefield. A Russian destroyer rushed in from all directions, even if a companion was destroyed by fierce fire, they still could not shake their will!

Under this circumstance, the remaining torpedoes released by the destroyer still kept the Tegerhof in a hurry, and a trailing torpedo struck the sea, forcing the fast battleship to evade. The rudder at the stern adjusts its direction from time to time. The 200-meter-long steel battleship is constantly walking along the zigzag course on the sea. The wakes representing the destruction are intertwined with the track of the battleship. There are a large number of machine guns and small ships. The caliber artillery began to turn its muzzle to shoot at the speeding torpedoes, and water curtains rose to the sky, and occasionally there was a loud explosion or two. The people held their breath, opened their eyes, and operated the warship to dance on the blade of life and death. It was not until the arrival of the former dreadnought Ferdinand that the situation changed.

The six 12-inch guns on the side strings and a large number of secondary artillery were put on the battlefield, allowing the German fleet to regain its overwhelming firepower advantage. With the cooperation of the two battleships, a dense crossfire network quickly formed ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The destroyer was caught off guard, and was hit by a 12-inch shell directly in the engine room. After an orange flame shot into the sky, the bow of the ship sank suddenly. After half a minute, only the stern of the ship was raised up high. , This ship was finished, and another destroyer successfully launched a torpedo when it was close to 3000 meters away, but it was useless. In the case of tail chase, the 35-knot torpedo wanted to hit the 23-knot warship. , That's really... It's almost impossible!

Immediately, a torrent of flames formed by rain-like artillery shells instantly engulfed the poor destroyer, and the 6-inch high-explosive shells and 88MM rapid-fire guns instantly sifted the destroyer that was turning to try to escape. In the end, the warship almost shot the surface of the water diagonally. After struggling for less than a minute, he sank to the bottom of the sea.

The Russian destroyers are indeed annoying, but they are only annoying. With the full participation of the German battleships, the Russian Black Sea Fleet is already defeated. In this situation, the remaining British bombers that had originally planned to attack the Rechadia pounced on the German fleet, preparing to create opportunities for the remaining Russian warships to retreat. Seeing the group of British bombers flying towards him, Earl Spey finally let out a sigh of relief. "The Leshadia is finally saved, isn't it?"
