Chapter 1104: Battle of the Norwegian Sea 2

The Moltke turned first, then the Blucher behind, while the light cruiser Emden, which was originally at the tail of the fleet, gradually overtook the Moltke, who would open the way in front as the eyes of the fleet. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"It's really a queen! They're going faster than we are! "Thomas was the first to spot the opponent, so the fleet picked up speed earlier and faster, and at this time, the speed of the two Queen-class battleships reached 24 knots. Moltke and Blucher, on the other hand, are now only 23.5 knots due to their late steering and acceleration. So the distance between the two sides is still narrowed.

"It looks like we're going to spend a day racing against the queen behind us today. In addition, send a telegram to the headquarters of the Navy and say that the queens of the British have recovered! Let them be careful. Colonel Lefetsov ordered. If there is an anomaly, report it first, that's the principle. However, just as he was about to report the situation, there was an anomaly that startled the Colonel Lefetsov.

"Our radio communications have been jammed!" An officer reported. "None of the commonly used frequency bands can be connected to the fleet base." The colonel ran over and snatched the radio starter's headset from the earphones, in which he could only hear a screeching sound like a knife cutting glass, a sound that sounded like a rush in Lefetsov's ears, and made him panic in his heart.

"It's a trap, and we can't get in touch with headquarters." The colonel took a deep breath and threw the headphones aside. His brow furrowed into a twitch, and he fell into deep thought.

"Do we use the backup frequency band to contact headquarters?" Someone asked.

"Don't do this for now, we need to find out the situation, the British can find out our common frequency bands, then it is possible to find out the backup frequency bands, and the opportunity for us to contact is very precious. Don't waste it so easily, order the fleet to increase its speed to more than 25 knots, I don't believe it, the British can keep up with us all the time! After a short period of thought, the colonel decisively ordered, don't you want to kill us? Then let's catch up with us first!

All the idle personnel were engaged in shoveling coal, replacing the original two-hour shoveling cycle with a 90-minute wave, and when the sea breeze in the Norwegian Sea outside the battleship was already bitterly cold, in the boiler compartments of the three German battleships, men with bare bronze muscles were frantically throwing shovels of coal into the boilers. The raging flames engulfed the high-quality coal mines from the Ruhr region and converted hundreds of tons of boiler water into steam to power the steam turbines located at the rear of the boiler silos.

When the temperature reaches a certain level, the heavy oil spraying equipment located at the top of the boiler silo begins to work, and the black viscous heavy oil is immediately vaporized and burned after entering the boiler silo, so that the working state of the entire boiler silo is on a higher level, and more surging steam enters the rear engine room from the small water tube boiler. The temperature of the entire boiler compartment rises to more than 45 degrees. More than double digits of people are suffering from heat stroke due to long hours of work and high temperatures.

However, their efforts were still very good, and the sea conditions today were good, and the two battle cruisers reached a high speed of more than 26 knots one after another! The distance between him and the queens is also slowly widening. "Slow them down to the point where we're fast enough to catch up!" With Thomas's order, the servants of the "Queen" began to move, and the first group of destroyers rushed like sharp daggers towards the behemoth in the distance!

The sea conditions were not bad, and the little ones could run at speeds of nearly 30 knots, and like hungry wolves gathered around the elephants, they were waiting for an opportunity to go up and tear a piece of meat, and when a wolf (a light cruiser) gave the signal to attack, they rushed up.

"Moltke aim at that light cruiser and kill him! The Wiesbaden disrupted their shock formation. "The order was quickly conveyed through the flag, and the high quality of the German Navy was quickly manifested in this contact.

8 HUGE 350MM GUNS WERE AIMED AT THE BRITISH LIGHT CRUISER, WHICH WAS ALSO RUNNING WILDLY ON THE SEA, AND IN ORDER TO OPEN THE WAY FOR THE DESTROYERS BEHIND, THE BRITISH HAD TO HOLD BACK THE WIESBADEN, AND NOT LONG AFTER HE TURNED, 4 THICK WATER COLUMNS APPEARED ONLY 150 METERS AWAY FROM THE BATTLESHIP!

Rumble! Rumble! Columns of water followed the British cruiser's tracks. Remove it back from a safe distance. By this time, four other British destroyers had rushed up, and the Wiesbaden was as brave as a sheepdog.

The two sides approached at a high speed of more than 50 knots, and they entered from the left front of the German fleet, and the Wiesbaden bravely met it, and the distance between the two sides was about 5 kilometers! LIKE A HEDGE BETWEEN CAVALRY, WHEN THE TWO SIDES STAGGERED, THE FIRE NET FORMED BY 6 175MM HEAVY GUNS AND A LARGE NUMBER OF 120MM RAPID-FIRE GUNS COVERED A DESTROYER TO DEATH!

The slender hull made a huge arc on the sea, and the two sides fought directly from 4500 meters to 1500 meters! THE ROLE OF THE 4MM GUN, WHICH IS MORE THAN 175 ROUNDS PER MINUTE, WAS DECISIVE IN THIS HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT, AND WITH JUST ONE HIT, THE DESTROYER ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE, WHICH WAS MORE THAN 800 TONS, WAS FORCED TO SHOOT THE GG! The semi-armor-piercing shell hit the middle of the destroyer almost against the water, and the piercing shell exploded in the boiler compartment in the lower part of the chimney. With a series of loud noises, the entire middle of the battleship erupted like a volcano. The fragments of the 2 chimneys were directly blasted to a height of nearly 100 meters. Some of the fragments even fell on the bridge of the Wiesbaden.

The Wiesbaden was like a skilled knight, after easily smashing an enemy's head into pieces with the chain hammer in her right hand, the thin sword in her left hand was also stretched out, and a series of 120MM shells fell on another British destroyer, and the picric acid high-explosive bomb exploded and left nearly 100 bullet holes in the side chord of the destroyer more than 50 meters long, and the destroyer was forced to leave after entering hundreds of tons of seawater.

And a moment later, the other two destroyers still rushed up, one of them was killed by a 12-inch high-explosive bomb of the Blucher before it could launch a torpedo, but this was not a direct hit, the place where the shell fell into the water was 15 meters away from the destroyer, but after the explosion, the shock wave generated by the explosion of the high-temperature and high-pressure bubble was still wrapped in countless fragments like a blade and easily cut through the fragile bottom of the destroyer, and the entire stern of the destroyer seemed to be repeatedly torn and twisted by a pair of invisible big hands, THE VIOLENT IMPACT DIRECTLY TORE OFF THE PROPELLERS IN THE TAIL OF THE BATTLESHIP, AND THEN THE BATTLESHIP WAS DESTROYED BY A DENSE 150MM SECONDARY GUN, TURNING INTO A BURNING TORCH IN LESS THAN 2 MINUTES.
