Chapter 2231: Storm Four

As the distance narrowed and the British gradually adapted, the British’s artillery hit rate was gradually increasing. For the Bavarian-class battleships, the 381 artillery mission would not be a big problem, but for Helgo For the Lan-class battleship, every hit is very uncomfortable

The Turingen was the first target. The Vengeance scored its first hit in the 16th minute after the start of the battle. This time, two 15-inch shells were thrown onto the Turingen in one round of attack. One shell hit Between the turret and the turret, although the thickness of the 320 turret barely blocked the attack of the 15-inch armor-piercing projectile depending on the angle, the violent collision and explosion still temporarily stuck the Turingen 2 turret.

The second shell hit the main armor belt of Thuringia’s sidestring. The cap of the 60 uncapped armor box was turned into fragments, and then the sharp warhead hit **** the 250-thick inclined armor. On the upper side, the huge inclination and heavy armor did not make the shell penetrate in the end, but the huge impact of the shell still shattered the support structure behind through the armor plate, and the steel plate with a length of more than three meters was hardly pushed halfway. In the gap of about meters, the debris from the explosion penetrated the partition of the cabin, cut off several steam lines and wires, and lit a not-so-small fire inside the Turingen. And because of this Lingen also added at least 600 tons of seawater

As for the battleship Rheinland, which was subsequently hit, it was even more unlucky. The British fired the first underwater hit in the naval battle. A 15-inch shell entered the water at a distance of 10 meters from the Rheinland. The slender hood quickly shattered when the water entered the water. , But the shell’s warhead was centered, and then, like a torpedo, the shell hit the center and rear of the battleship Rheinland at about 6 meters underwater.

　　 Such a heavy blow was absolutely terrible for Germany's earliest fast battleship. This shell easily tore open the originally very thin armor plate with lightning protection plate at the lower edge, and continuously penetrated the empty tank and liquid tank. Then one head smashed the next wall outside the engine room and exploded close to the bottom of the hull. The violent explosion caused a turbine to be instantly destroyed. The huge transmission shaft was broken into two pieces, and under the effect of the residual kinetic energy, the nearby cabin was smashed into chaos. After the distance explosion, it was not only caused inside the Rheinland. There was a fire, and shrapnel also penetrated the double bottom of the hull. This location is almost difficult to stop leaks during naval battles. On both sides of the engine room are the motor rooms at the front and the No. 3 turret ammunition storage at the back. Up

　　 The leak happened in the night rain. Just as the Rheinland was carrying out damage to the pipe, another 15-inch shell fell on the fuel tank near the motor compartment, and the violent explosion caused damage to the fuel tank. The situation of this battleship was very critical.

"Immediate water injection" As a last resort, the battleship Rheinland began to perform water injection operations. After temporarily stabilizing the warship’s injuries, the Rheinland had already experienced a relatively serious tail tilt, even with the naked eye. The bow of the ship is obviously tilted

As for the battleship Helgoland, he also paid a heavy price in the subsequent battles. After using a 350 shell to mute a turret on the corresponding Resolution, the British still used the color and placed the top of the mast. The rangefinder was destroyed. The fire control efficiency of this warship is greatly reduced.

　　 In the absolute main fleet of both sides, when other fleets easily suppressed the British army, on the contrary, Lieutenant General Bernk's fleet began to decline. However, this problem is still nothing. Everyone is focusing on the most critical battlefield because the most violent wave of the German high seas fleet has arrived.

"We have arrived at the battlefield. We have seen that the main British fleets are the Vengeance, Iron Duke, and Orion. They are all here. Our battleship has suppressed the opponent." When the pilot plane flew over the British fleet, it indicated the German aircraft carrier squadron. The blow is coming.

　　 And at this time, the British also realized that it had reached a critical moment. The remaining British seaplanes and disposable planes in the air rushed to the German fleet in the distance, hoping to use their own body and life to block the opponent's attack.

However, their result is destined to be tragic and meaningless. After more than 40 British planes hit 50 German carrier-based fighter jets and 20 seaplanes head-on, the air suddenly sounded like popping beans, and countless fire snakes were there. The air swayed and flew, and the British seaplane rolled awkwardly in the clouds, but this only delayed its death a little bit. After all, flexible hunters could bite their opponents and then kill them. The first batch of 90 bombers was divided into 6 squadrons pounced on the scheduled British fleet

　　 "This is where all the attacking fleets of the Seahawk leader follow me into the planned attack course, let us attack the No. 4 target" Major Bowman said to his colleagues. The Seahawks squadron aimed at the Thor~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The luck of this warship seems to be good. Although it was hit with a lot of shells, it did not hit the core area. Although the turret was dropped by two, its power The system is operating normally. Those dying battleships don't need to fight, the dreadnoughts are too rubbish, don't worry, the Vengeance-class battleships are a little troublesome to deal with, and they may not die. And the first generation super fearless like Thor is the best choice

　　 There are no more British fighter jets in the air, and Thor's deck is also full of fires. From the air, you can see at least 5 huge gaps in the deck. The entire superstructure has been blown down by half. The original deck was covered with anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft guns and only a pile of twisted steel remained, and the flood of water also made this warship stagger a bit. This is definitely one of the best targets. One

"Wait for the bombers to attack first, we will start lightning strikes from both sides." The three bombers first threw 400kg bombs on the already-smashed battleship. With the bombs hit, two smoke plumes tens of meters high After the gun smoke cleared, the big hole of dozens of square meters spewed flames and dense smoke like the entrance of hell. The most unlucky thing was the stern. This bomb even blasted the entire stern, twisting and burning steel beams and The broken cabin gave a feeling of extreme decay, and the severe vibration and shock wave damage caused the steering gear of this warship to malfunction.

And when the bombers in the air just dispersed, the 8 torpedo planes were divided into two teams and launched lightning strikes on the warship at the same time. With almost no interference, the 8 torpedo planes dropped their torpedoes when they were close to 600 meters, and hurriedly The pulled up plane almost even hit the mast of the battleship
