The Prinz Eugen was equipped with a more advanced turbine system gas turbine because of its reinforced armor. The thermal efficiency of a gas turbine is much better than that of a steam gear deceleration. So in general, the "Prinz Eugen" is only open in engine rooms No. 1 and No. 2, and No. 3 and No. 4 are closed.

Since the gas turbine burned the fuel oil sufficiently, the smoke from the "Prince Eugen" was not very strong.

"Bismarck" and "Tirpitz" put "Prinz Eugen" last, which made "Bismarck" look like a flagship.

Because the reconnaissance planes had already spotted the enemy ship, General Lütjans decided to seize the T-shaped crosshead.

In the battleship battle line, whoever grabs the T-shaped crosshead first will win the final victory, for example, Nishimura and his Yamashiro. Of course, in the battle, you have to keep seizing the advantageous position to ensure that your side is in an advantageous position.

When the battleship was basically in slow motion, the "Hood" came.

A huge column of smoke appeared on the horizon in the distance, then two, three, four. It looked like there was only one, because the two ships were too far apart and were traveling in a straight line.

The fire control radar is the first to detect the enemy ship, and then after some calculations, the data is entered into the artillery computer through the gunning radar.

The 380 mm guns of the "Bismarck" and "Tirpitz" were only one millimeter smaller than the 381 mm guns of the "Hood", but because the Germans fired high-speed light bullets, they were superior in accuracy and attack power at short and medium ranges, but once it came to long-range attacks, such as this time, the disadvantages of this kind of shells became prominent.

The main gun of the "Prince of Wales" was 356 mm, but it was not necessarily inferior to the main gun of the "Bismarck".

Captain Brinkmann commanded a heavy cruiser that was significantly smaller than the previous battleship to line out of the battle line, and the current Prince's 254 mm main gun was a 75 times diameter gun designed and manufactured by the future military industry, which was theoretically not much different from the 356 gun of the British Prince "Prince of Wales".

From the Norwegian direction, a wing of naval aviation had already taken off and flew in this direction. This wing was a mixed wing with a fighter group, two dive bomber groups, a torpedo bomber group and a long-range reconnaissance group. Hundreds of planes flying in the sky felt like someone bragging to the sky.

When the exchange of fire began, German naval aviation arrived, torpedo planes descended to a height suitable for attack, dive bombers pulled up to gain higher dive speeds, and fighters stood guard on the perimeter.

Ji Feng listened to the deafening sound of the main cannon firing, and there was also a feeling of excitement in his heart.

It may not have been as fierce as it had been at Jutland, but it was one of the last few opportunities for battleships in the German capital ship force.

The "Tirpitz" has just been delivered, it is still very new, and in some places even the burrs have not been smoothed, this is the latest main battleship of Germany.

The "Hood" put the spearhead on the "Tirpitz", which was located in the middle of the battle line, and the "Hood" was a battle cruiser built during the First World War, with a displacement of more than 40,000 tons, similar to Bismarck, because it had sucked the blood of the Battle of Jutland, this battle cruiser was slightly strengthened.

However, since the world was still a giant ship artillery doctrine at that time, it has not even changed now, and everyone believes that naval aviation is just an auxiliary service, and the main combat mission still depends on the decisive battle between the capital ships.

Therefore, the watertight compartment of the "Hood" is not very finely divided, and there is not even a "blister" anti-torpedo compartment. No matter how slow the Navy's bombers were, they were faster than the battleships, so a large group of fighters flew straight at the "Hood". This ship, which is the pride of the British Royal Navy, has a buff**uff experience of 10, and if it is sunk, it increases the dissatisfaction by 20, which humiliates the Germans. So this time you must fight back and make the British angry.

The current Brinkmann is just a fledgling captain, although he is very strong in his heart, and he is indeed a good captain's material, but no matter how good the material is, it takes time to hone. But now Ji Feng can't wait so much time.

Brinkman looked at the shells that had exploded in the Tirpitz 3rd turret, which had almost been overturned, the top of the turret was gone, and the billowing smoke from it proved that it must have been smoldering.

At this moment, several sailors who were on fire ran out of it, and Brinkman suddenly broke down a little.

A single British shell hit the armor of the "Prince Eugen" below the waterline, and the huge force of the impact made the whole ship tremble.

Brinkman suddenly looked broken and shouted, "Oh God" The first officer, the second and third officers, did not know how to repair the watertight compartments, and the ship was also new, so he could only wait there for Brinkman's instructions.

Ji Feng rushed up and "snapped" the two big mouths and woke up Brinkman: "Can you command them to repair the watertight cabin?"

Brinkman said a little sluggishly, "I don't know. Maybe I can give it a try."

Ji Feng was angry: "You are a captain, in the eyes of the crew, you are omnipotent, whether you have confidence or not, you must not show it on your face, you can only answer yes or no, yes or no, if you don't have confidence, let those sailors fight, you answer me, can you lead them to repair the watertight compartment?"

Brinkman suddenly came to his senses and said firmly: "I can, General"

Then he began to command the damage control work, and General Lütjans temporarily took over the command of the entire battleship.

Ji Feng looked at the Hood. The battlecruiser had previously been hit by a 75-kilogram bomb by a German reconnaissance plane, but the damage was not significant. But now it was hit by the guns of equal fire of three battleships, and now the famous battlecruiser was covered in flames, and the two turrets were still smoldering.

I don't know what the situation on the deck will be like, at least it shouldn't be much better.

The speed of the "Hood" was reduced due to damage, so it was now a target for torpedo and dive bombers.

With the explosion of torpedoes and bombs, the very damaged battle cruiser finally could no longer hold on.

The violent explosion of the ammunition depot of the B turret directly blew the hundreds of tons of turret into the sky, and the elevator of the Enterprise was blown away by the kamikaze. The elevator weighed only a dozen tons, but it was blown up more than 100 meters into the sky by a kamikaze with 250 kg of bombs, not to mention that this hundreds of tons of turret was blown up by hundreds of tons of bombs. , fell and smashed heavily on the bridge.

Then there was also a violent explosion in the C turret, and the battleship finally could not support it and cracked through the middle.

The torpedo machine saw that the battleship was broken, so it moved on to the next one.

Lütjans took the binoculars and watched excitedly as the battleship, which had humiliated the Germans for so many years, gradually sank into the sea, and suddenly the whole person was not good.
