Chapter 2099: 1st night 2

At this time, what is even worse for the British is that Major Franco's frigate is less than 5 kilometers away from here! For being in the shroud of dark night, and completely exposed to the light!

"Discover the British destroyer squadron at 11 o'clock at a distance of about 4,200 meters!" The asana rangefinder on the top of the mast on Major Franco’s flagship frigate s113 immediately locked the British destroyer squadron against the background of white light. This time, the British were a little unlucky. The 4 destroyers were almost covered by the flares dropped by the German bombers at the first time. At this time, the enemy was dark and it was suitable to fight sap!

　　 "Rush up and top them one-on-one!" Has already taken advantage, so the rest is a! The four destroyers opened the high-temperature and high-pressure steam stored in the steam pipeline. With the huge amount of steam pouring into the turbine, the four German large destroyers began to accelerate their course! The speed has increased from around 18 knots to over 27 knots in a short time! What is this concept? It is equivalent to a speed of 50 kilometers per hour, and at this time, they are only more than 4000 meters away from the British destroyer detachment! It takes only a few minutes to include it in the effective range of the deck gun!

The German fleet entered the battlefield almost close to the edge of light and darkness. The slender hull was looming in the light. In just a few minutes, the German fleet had aimed its artillery-filled sidestring at the British, and in the distance Of British people seem to be in a daze? !

"Fuck! What are you kidding? The British are so funny?" Major Franco looked at the British destroyer in the distance. The British fleet was still in formation during the last few minutes of encountering the enemy. , And the speed is still not high. In the view of the veteran who experienced the battle of the Doger Sandbanks like Major Franco, and then in the three hundred rounds of the Baltic and Russian fleet wars, at this time, the first priority of the destroyer is to speed up the escape. Avoid the flares. The rising of the flares in the night battle is the signal to be locked. If you don't avoid this time, you are looking for death? !

　　 For an instant, Major Franco wondered if this was the bait of the British? However, after only hesitating for a few seconds, the major decisively issued an attack order. What about bait? Anyway, the earl’s fleet is going to be the bottom!

　　 Major Franco’s melee dogfighting tactics are still very good. The German fleet enters the position very well, almost passing diagonally in front of the British fleet, just in the position of an irregular T-shaped horizontal formation! If the British fleet chooses to turn to escape, then it will happen to meet Earl Spey copied from North Bread! When the two sides approached 2100 meters, the leading S113 large destroyer made the first round of salvo!

　　 Four 150mm and two 105mm deck guns fired fire snakes at the same time, and a slew of shells roared towards the British fleet that did not seem to be reflected! The lead happened to be the flagship of the British destroyer Garland. In less than 3 seconds, this poor British destroyer was covered by a stream of water and fire!

　　 The first round of the German shot was very accurate, forming a perfect straddle shot, and one of the shells hit the bow of the Lei! Destroy the entire anchor room! And then with the shooting of three other German destroyers, the poor British fleet was instantly covered by fire, and the violent explosion sounded from not far away, even covering the roar of the turbine!

　　 "Turn immediately, speed up the evacuation! We are under attack!" Realizing that the situation is wrong, Huahuan began to evade the opponent's shelling, and counterattacked with two 102mm artillery on the fore and aft decks, but the opponent's firepower was too fierce! Every minute, more than one ton of artillery shells roared from a distance, and Germany flew closer and closer. In just 2 minutes, the distance between the two sides was shortened from 2,100 meters to 1,200 meters!

At this time, the German destroyer also turned on the searchlights decisively. Three searchlights firmly locked the poor destroyer. Tons of ammunition fell on the hull. Accompanied by the violent explosion sound and the flames rising into the sky, the destroyer Within 3 minutes, he was beaten into a fire dragon by the dense shells! The whole battle was a one-sided slaughter. The shrapnel and shock waves from the bomb explosion swept across the entire deck, and even swept away the small cockpit at the front of the destroyer! In the end, two 150mm shells that directly hit the lower part of the gun station completely destroyed the poor destroyer. With a loud noise, the Garland was blown into two sections from the middle, and was even hit by fragments ejected by the huge explosive force. On top of S113 not far away!

　　 "Kill them, pay attention to avoid torpedoes!" The German destroyer fleet always keeps the distance in meters. At this distance, the guns of the German destroyers are stable, and they also have time to dodge the torpedoes that the opponent may launch! Under the firepower of the German fleet comparable to light cruisers, the remaining three British destroyers did not last long! One of them was paralyzed on the sea, and the other was capsized due to too much water in the sidestring. After the last destroyer fired 2 torpedoes before dying~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the depth bomb warehouse at the tail was destroyed. It was ignited, and with a loud noise, the entire battleship turned into fragments in the sky! Although it floated on the surface of the sea with a radius of one kilometer, the entire battle took less than a quarter of an hour from the beginning to the end!

　　 "This should be a British specially built destroyer, not a regular fleet destroyer." After the fight, Major Franco quickly made a rough judgment on the enemy's level. Although the so-called special-built destroyers also bear the name of destroyers, their standards and performance are a bit worse than those of regular fleet destroyers, and the quality of the personnel attached to them is also poor. They generally undertake patrol, anti-submarine, and mine clearance tasks. It is normal that many people have not experienced naval battles. If this happens, the slow response of the British at first can be explained.

"The nail has been pulled out, let's move on!" It was just a small victory. Major Franco didn't care too much. The British definition of this line of defense was vigilance. They must have other mobile fleets. Next time, we will touch again. If you go up, you won't be a weak chicken!

"Your Excellency, our A line was breached. Ten minutes ago, the A3 patrol was attacked. Now 30 minutes have passed. Our call has not been answered!" At this time, the Royal Navy in Dunkirk, Dover In the headquarter of the Strait, an officer reported to Lieutenant General Martin.

　　 "Are you coming?" Lieutenant General Martin immediately got up and walked to the chart. "Send a telegram to the transport fleet to stop them from setting off for the time being, and at the same time order the Fifth Light Cruiser Squadron and the Sixth Destroyer Squadron to prepare for battle!
