Chapter 311: Chasing

The Descartes lost its combat effectiveness less than 20 minutes after the battle with the Hamburg. The entire warship turned into a burning torch. The battleship side was riddled with holes and severely tilted. It was helpless. , The French captain announced the abandonment of the ship.

"Let's do it for the first time, to save face to the French." Looking at the French warship that has gradually sunk into the sea in the distance, Scheer was very satisfied with his first victory in his life. Doing nothing for himself, Scheer knew that the match was an accident. In order to have a better ending in the future, Scheer is still relatively generous to enemies who have lost their combat effectiveness.

"Let the East Africa supply ship rescue the people who fell into the water, let's help the Prime Minister!" Sher in a good mood decisively took his warship to the battlefield not far away. At this time, after a period of shooting , Charlemagne is gradually unable to stand it!

When a 254mm heavy artillery shell completely jammed the No. 2 turret of the Charlemagne, the threat of this newest French warship to the Marquis of Bismarck was minimal, relying on the two remaining 12-inch guns to gather together. At a distance of more than 5500 meters, if you want to hit your opponent, you really have to rely on rp.

"General, the Descartes is also over, we can't run out now." An officer said in horror at the warship that was spitting fire in the distance.

"General, there was a big fire in the port side secondary artillery gallery. About half of the artillery gallery was destroyed. The fire was a little out of control!"

The series of bad news made the French fleet commander desperate. He really did not expect that a single shock mission could lead to such a result! His fleet was attacked by surprise, and suffered an unimaginable failure! Three French battleships, with a total tonnage of 25,000, were defeated in less than an hour!

If it were not for the rumble of cannons from outside, the violent vibrations and the sound of armor tearing after the battleship was hit from time to time, Lieutenant Admiral Pierre would have thought he was dreaming! With the arrival of the Hamburger, the battle situation developed in a one-sided direction.

The two German warships began to narrow the distance between each other. At the nearest time, the Marquis of Bismarck was only about 2,000 meters away from each other! At this distance, the heavy artillery firepower of the two German warships was brought to the extreme! Even in just one minute, 4 rounds of 254mm and 11-inch shells hit this poor warship! And it's all concentrated in the tail!

In an instant, the sound of explosions came from the stern of the Charlemagne, and even half of the stern was cut off by the violent explosion! The deck at the aft of the hull has been completely distorted, billowing smoke and flames emerged from the damage, and a plume of smoke as high as tens of meters rose from the rear.

However, the most deadly blow came from the Hamburg's 11-inch shell, which hit the battleship's steering gear directly! After tearing apart the outer armor easily, the personnel and all the machinery inside were turned into a mass of fragments. The majestic Charlemagne instantly drifted on the sea like a dog with a broken backbone.

"The Charlemagne has no counterattack capability. Let's use a torpedo to solve it?" This question was sent from the Hamburger.

"Wait, let's get in touch with the French." Hipper said after looking at the warship in the distance that was already leaning a little and continued to hobble.

"Remember, you will become a general in the future! As a general, in addition to doing military affairs well, you must also learn to think about issues from a political perspective, because the military itself is a continuation of politics, a soldier who does not understand politics. It's not qualified!" Hipper remembered what his prince had said to him alone at the farewell party before his departure.

"This battle is a bit inexplicable!" Until now, Hipper, who was relaxed, didn't know why this battle broke out, and how the two **** French transport ships exploded! "Ask Schell, what happened to the French transport ship?"

"They didn't listen to advice, entered the minefield, and then touched the mine one after another..." When Hipper saw the message sent by the semaphore in the distance, he was a little bit dumbfounded. "This is definitely the most absurd reason for war in the last 100 years!" The French accidentally ran into a minefield of the Portuguese and then fought the German fleet...

"The fleet ceasefire, and then send this information to the French, we should consider the aftermath." Regardless of whether the fight continues, the German fleet has become the de facto victor, and the reason for this exchange of fire is so absurd. Hipper really thinks that the misunderstanding should not be allowed to continue.

"The Germans seem to have stopped shooting. They are moving away from us!" When the heavy casualties of the French navy saw the two warships in the distance stop shooting, they were surprised, and a joy of surviving after the disaster emerged spontaneously.

"It must be our fleet here. Kill the damned German." A soldier from Lorraine waved his fist angrily at the German fleet in the distance.

"What about coming? We have lost combat effectiveness, and even if two more warships come, they may not be opponents of the Germans, let alone, they shouldn't be here at this point in time." Pierre was also a little untouchable. Mind, but he knows that there will be no more reinforcements in this sea!

"The Germans are sending signals, and they said..." The captain of his duty looked at the German fleet signal flag in the distance and said: "They said ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ our transport ship actually collided. On the Portuguese minefield, the German fleet has just arrived here for only three hours, and there is no time to arrange mines..."

"Puff..." After hearing this, Lieutenant General Pierre felt that his eyes went dark, and a fishy liquid poured into his throat. Then he knew nothing, and a faint sound came from his ear. There was anxious shouting and walking. At this time, Pierre really hoped that he could fall down like this and never wake up again. He cannot bear this responsibility! Afterwards, his consciousness sank completely into the darkness.

"Send the Lieutenant General to rest for a while, and leave the rest to me." Captain De Scock said with a sigh. Now that the battle is over, both sides have lost the reason for the battle. Since the Germans are willing Talk about it, then Scock must be responsible for the soldiers of his ship.

"Make arrangements, I will go to talk to the Germans in person, and the battleship will be handed over to you. Remember to exercise restraint at all times and keep the dignity of the French navy from being insulted!" Captain Scocker took a photo. He patted his deputy on the shoulder and said.
