Chapter 2230: Storm Three

But the British are not without gains! The violent shooting of the two British light cruisers before has turned the upper deck of the Rostock into a sea of ​​flames. All the secondary artillery has been destroyed by more than 80%, and the light protection area at the front and rear of the battleship has also been damaged. The balance hull had to be reversed. If the Rostock was considered an agile leopard before the battle, its response is not much better than that of an old lion! And don’t forget, there are wolves all around who want to wait for an opportunity!

In the end, a British destroyer finally rushed up on the wreckage of its peers and fired 4 21-inch torpedoes at a distance of less than 600 meters. After two loud noises, the German Navy lost the first place in this battle. A battleship with a displacement of more than 5,000 tons!

However, in the end, the German light cruisers and destroyer squadrons successfully blocked the British desperate assault. After losing 5 light cruisers and more than a dozen destroyers, the British Grand Fleet retreated with scars. , And the German fleet on the opposite side returned to its team after the loss of 2 light cruisers and 5 destroyers. When the auxiliary battleships of the two sides temporarily separated, the battle between the main fleets had already entered a fever!

"Fire!" With the flames of the muzzle jumping, the eight 15-inch heavy guns on the battleship Saxony exploded once again. In the distance, the British Super Intrepid Daring that he had caught was already in the previous battle. The body was wounded all over, and the 5 double-mounted 343MM turrets on the hull have been finalized for 3.5. The British battleship in the distance resisted with its last 3 artillery, but this kind of shooting that couldn't be completed by even orthopedics It doesn't have much effect beyond interpreting one's will and determination.

8 shells once again enveloped the unyielding British battleship. As soon as the shells fell, a series of loud noises broke out on the Bold again. A 15-inch shell successfully penetrated the armor belt of the Da Shan in the gallery. The secondary artillery ammunition depot below! Accompanied by an explosion like a volcanic eruption, the warship was constantly trembling in a loud noise like flames and thunder. Even if it was more than ten kilometers apart, the German soldiers on the Saxony could clearly see the warship with a telescope. Tilt quickly to the left!

"Okay, this guy is over! The next goal!" The captain of the Sachsen, Colonel Bockman, was not interested in wasting precious shells on the sinking battleship. He hesitated for a moment, and ordered the Sachsen to aim the gun. The battleship in front of the Bold—and this battleship is the flagship of the Royal Navy, the Iron Duke!

On the other side of the battlefield, the three battleships of the German Fifth Battleship Squadron also scored the first kills in this naval battle shortly afterwards. With the cooperation of the Posen and Nassau, the British dreadnought Colin The Wood was sunk and the ship’s power compartment and steering gear compartment were completely destroyed. After the British fleet abandoned it, the German destroyer went up and used torpedoes to end the poor life of this warship. So far, there have been no bombers in the Air Force. Before arrival, 4 of 21 British battleships had been totally damaged, and now the number of main fleets on both sides is 17 to 19!

At the darkest moment of the British Royal Navy fleet, the only highlight of the British is the Vengeance-class battleship at the forefront of the battleline. Although in the Royal Navy battle sequence, the Vengeance-class status is lower than that of the Queen Elizabeth-class battleship. , But in this naval battle, the one that can fight and resist is the Vengeance! With the main force of the entire British fleet being crushed, the Vengeance-class not only did not lose the wind in the confrontation with the Helgoland-class battleships, but also gained some advantages!

With the artillery of the Helgoland-class battleship roaring again, 8 armor-piercing shells roared and flew to the distant battleship Resolution. After dozens of seconds, the Vengeance burst out again on the wide side-string armor belt. Flame, this wave, the performance of Helgoland is not bad! 2 shells hit the target.

Accompanied by the violent collision of shells and armor, the 330MM armor belt of the Resolution successfully smashed a 350mm shell into fragments, and another shell hit between the two armor plates, which was almost crazy. The noise, the violent collision violently shattered the back plate and supporting structure behind the armor plate, the huge shells also got in and half pulled, and left a crack of more than one meter long, but unfortunately, in the end this The fragments after the bomb exploded were also blocked by the dome behind the main armor of the Vengeance. Although some water entered, the damage was not large.

"Damn, we can't penetrate their defenses, these guys are too strong, and there is a vault behind them." Standing in the command tower of the battleship Helgoland, Lieutenant General Bernk turned pale. How many times has it been? There are 4 hits but no breakdowns observed on the warship alone, and if the entire fleet is added together ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ then there will probably be more than one dozen, right?

　　 Now Lieutenant General Bainck feels the sad feeling that the British could not penetrate the armor after repeated hits. This war experience is simply too bad!

"The Vengeance-class battleship is definitely the most difficult thing to deal with in the Royal Navy. It does not have the queen's high speed, but the defense is too strong. Our 350MM shells may penetrate some parts of the gun mount and the front of the turret. It penetrates the core area at the combat distance, even the Bavarian-class 15-inch heavy artillery can only penetrate the sidestring main armor and the vault at the same time only at a relatively close range."

After the war, not only Major General Bernker, but other German officers who had experienced the hard shell of the Vengeance Class, such as Admiral Scheer, Commander of the High Seas Fleet, Lieutenant General Nordman, Commander of the Second Battleship Squadron, and the Third Battleship Squadron commander Lieutenant General Schmidt all favored the Vengeance-class defense, and the high evaluation from the commander of the Three Bavarian-class battleship squadron is probably the highest praise for this class of British battleships, right?

　　 Of course, the Vengeance is not only powerful, but also his artillery! You know, in history, when the British used German warships to test the penetration depth of a new type of armor-piercing projectile, they shot through a 350mm thick steel plate at a simulated distance! With the British artillery shell weighing more than 870 kilograms, even if it cannot penetrate, such a heavy shell will cause great pressure on the hull. This time, the Helgoland-class battleship that first fought the Vengeance class experienced it. The pressure brought by the British 15-inch heavy artillery!
