Chapter 837: Fight 2

The Japanese Navy studied under the British Navy and admired the Royal Navy. However, the glory of the Royal Navy is history. Since the end of the Sailing Age, the Royal Navy has almost no new records. Now, as The Japanese are also a little proud of the country with the most glorious achievements in steam armored battleships in the world. After all, the Japanese have won the Beiyang fleet, the American fleet and the Russian fleet.

But now, the British fleet actually drew a tie when the gun caliber was one inch larger than the opponent, which made the Japanese appraisal of the British down by half a notch. According to the words of the Japanese officer, I did not know where the American battleships on the armored cruiser Asama, which was produced in Germany, were dominant.

"The German battleships are better defensive. This is their consistent philosophy. The British shells seem to have difficulty destroying their core compartments. Up to now, the firepower of the two German battleships has been maintained very well, but the British are very poor. Wonder, looking at the Barrem behind, its No. 3 turret seems to have not fired for a long time, and the No. 4 turret has become a torch.” A young officer with only three fingers on each hand pointed to the distance Barlem said.

"So, you mean, the British might lose?" Kantarou Suzuki said while looking at the officer who was dubbed "eight cents" by his colleagues.

"I think it is so. The British artillery can hardly destroy the German battleship, but the German battleship easily penetrated the British turret. If I remember correctly, the front and side sides of the main turret of the Queen Elizabeth-class battleship The defense of the main armor belt is the same, maybe a right hit can cost the queen." Said Yamamoto on the side. (As for why Yamamoto 56 is called eight cents, interested readers can check.)

The so-called bystanders are clear, and the authorities are confused. The two sides fought for a long time, and both sides were hit by more than two digits, basically hitting wherever they could be hit. However, judging from the current situation, the firepower of the German warships has not diminished, while the situation of the British Barlem is a bit bad. If such a war of attrition continues, the British will naturally suffer.

In this case, Kantaro Suzuki should think about it. If, in case, the British cannot hold on and choose to retreat, what should they do... Takachiho is an unprotected battleship, and by visually checking the distance, it doesn't seem to be too far. Now the Germans can't make it. If they can make it, wouldn't he be lost every minute?

"We are farther away, and then we are sending a telegram to Malaya and Warspite to the north, telling them the location of the German warships again." Suzuki Kantaro ordered.

The rhythm of the battle seemed to gradually fall to the German side, but at this time there were some minor twists and turns. "Okay, the power supply is restored, tell the person above, try it." A Royal Navy soldier covered in oil yelled to his colleague above.

Accompanied by the roar of machinery, the No. 3 turret, which had been stopped for more than ten minutes, began to slowly rotate, and the low-hanging muzzle was raised high again, aiming at the fast battleship Gneisenau, which was spitting flames in the distance. . After some efforts, the British finally repaired the No. 3 turret. When the No. 3 turret sprayed out long flames again, almost all the British breathed a sigh of relief. They finally had the ability to fight their opponents!

boom! The flame instantly filled the entire field of vision. A 15-inch shell landed on the control tower of the Gneisenau, and the violent explosion left a radioactive crater up to 8 inches deep on the 400mm thick steel plate. With the help of others, Raidel stood up, patted his ear with some tinnitus, and the acting captain walked to the observation hole and looked at the Balem, which was on fire in the distance. "Very tenacious."

The British are fighting back. The two sides have been fighting for nearly an hour. At this time, the two fleets are sailing to the southwest at a speed of 21 knots. Although the British seem to be at a disadvantage, they still bit their opponents. . In this case, both sides played a bit impatiently, the British wanted to regain the disadvantage, and the German wanted to make the opponent completely give up the pursuit through a heavy blow-for example, to slow down the opponent!

"Let Impermanence and Dublin board, we need its torpedoes." Thomas said. The entire British fleet consists of just two light cruisers. Originally, Thomas did not want the lamb to participate in the fight between the lions, because even a light blow from the lion might be deadly to these warships that can only defend against 6-inch high-explosive shells, but now, Thomas felt more and more powerless.

Under the command of Colonel Sinclair, two light cruisers were preparing to launch a lightning strike. They increased their speed to 25 knots and quickly entered the battlefield from the rear of the fleet. Their target was the Gneisenau in the second position. Light cruisers are also very particular about the level of lightning strikes.

Take the mk2 21-inch torpedo equipped on two light cruisers as an example. This fish has two speed gears, which can reach 5000 meters at a speed of 30 knots and can reach 3,600 meters at a speed of 35 knots~www.wuxiaspot .com~ If you want to hit a battleship, then the most optimistic estimate is that you have to get closer to about 3000 meters... And what about this distance? Nine deaths? !

The two light cruisers made good use of Barlem’s hull and the cover provided by the smoke generated above. When they had to expose themselves, the two warships chose a very large angle to approach the German warships, so the speed changes. The rate will be great, which can significantly reduce the opponent's hit rate.

Two light cruisers, like flying fishes flying close to the surface of the sea, were brought into Raidel's field of vision, and the 150mm secondary guns on the flanks began to turn their muzzles and aimed at these sharp-edged assassins. A column of water quickly rises on the sea 10 kilometers away, enveloping the impermanence in the front. However, the 150mm semi-armor-piercing projectile has limited lethality against British cruisers with thin armor belts of daffodils. The shells that hit from time to time have no effect except for setting fire on the hull.

"The Germans' main artillery is restrained by the queens. We can get closer." Major Sinclair ordered the fleet to turn half of the compass point. Approach your opponent from a more direct angle.

Now Ryder is really not disgusting with these two boats. He didn't dare to easily turn the muzzle of the main gun and aim at these fast-moving assassins. But at the same time, the scarce number of 6-inch guns is really difficult to cause too much damage to the light cruiser.

The third one is here~~~! Everyone thinks that the side position is still good for the New Year, so let's subscribe more~~~!
