Chapter 13: The Battle of Denmark (3)
The battle was extremely fierce, and the German ships could fire from north to south, with a salvo of full-board guns: the British ships could only fire with their first guns from east to west, and the Hood sent their first guns to bombard the Prinz Eugen, which resulted in more dispersed fire.
At present, neither warring party has made any real progress, and Vice Admiral Hodland at this time took advantage of the opportunity of the German ship to reload the shells, and took the opportunity to turn around, so as to give full play to the true strength of the battleship, but will the German ship really let him get his wish?
The reloaded Bismarck fired a second salvo, and a bombshell hit the high-explosive ammunition box in the middle of the Hood impartially, and the deck was in flames.
Cheng Hao, who had been observed through the telescope, muttered to himself, "The armor looks quite thick, ......"
Bismarck, who was on the side, said bitterly, "Captain, it's not because of the thickness of the armor, it's because of the distance......"
"High-speed flick...... Cheng Hao asked.
Bismarck nodded, a helpless face, low-speed heavy bullet and high-speed light bullet are two different design concepts of ammunition, low-speed heavy bullet will not stall at long distances and can still penetrate heavy armored areas, and high-speed light bullets have a high muzzle velocity, good penetration effect at close range, as the distance gets farther and farther the speed will decrease, it will affect the armor-piercing effect, and Bismarck is not intended to be a typical representative of high-speed light bullets.
High-speed flick, medium and short distance penetration depth and height, the trajectory is relatively straight, the long-distance storage speed ability is poor, the falling arc is obvious, and the penetration depth decreases quickly.
Low-speed heavy bomb, represented by the American MK7, has a high elevation angle and sacrifices the bullet speed in exchange for a high drop arc and penetration. The heavy bomb still maintains a good penetration depth at long distances, and coupled with the empowerment mode, the lethality is huge. It can be said that both have their own advantages......
However, at present, the advantages of medium and short distances obtained by sacrificing long-distance speed difference with high-speed flicks cannot be brought into play at all in the current situation, "In other words, do you want to find a way to close the British ship......" Cheng Hao raised his telescope and continued to observe.
At this time, on the Hood, Colonel Cole hurriedly helped up the Hood who suddenly fell, and the ship spirit is the embodiment of the battleship, and the damage suffered by the battleship will also be manifested in another way.
At this time, Hood's originally neat clothes were a little gray stains, and Hood couldn't help coughing a few times, "I'm fine, Captain......" Hood, who was holding his lower abdomen, slowly got up with Cole's support, "Captain, it seems that there is also a ship spirit on the other side." ”
"What?" It was not only Cole who was surprised, but even Hodland, who dared to come in a hurry, was taken aback, whether or not he had a ship spirit is an important indicator in judging the battle, and the importance of the ship spirit can be said to be obvious to all. All kinds of unbelievable combat skills can be said to be every enemy's nightmare.
Back then, Hood was the one who led the war patrol on a round-the-world cruise to show the majesty and glory of the empire, as well as the rapid strike force needed to maintain the colonies and maritime systems. This is the glory of the Royal Navy, Hood!
And this glorious parade was the most glorious moment of Hood's life, and from this sublimation was Hood's combat skill: the royal parade!
When in the flagship position, you can increase the speed of the entire fleet by up to 20%! It can be said that it is very scary.
"Is there also a mature ship spirit on the other side?" At the critical moment, Hodland calmed down and asked Hood, who was helped up by Cole.
The young ship spirits can be said to be very fragile, once they sink the hull, they will not even have a chance to stand up again, once they sink Bismarck here, it can be said to be a very heavy blow to the German army.
"Absolute infant ship spirit." Hood said firmly, "Although it gives me the illusion that I feel that the training level is very high, but judging whether it is a mature body ship spirit is judged by the opening of combat skills, and I am very sure that Bismarck on the other side has not used the fluctuation of combat skills!" ”
"Really...... Then sink her here! Hodland laughed frantically, the German side only had one battleship and one heavy cruiser, while the British side did have two large warships at this time, the Prince of Wales and the Hood, and at this time, Hodland, who was carried away by the imminent fruits of victory in front of him, lost his usual calm.
Colonel Cole, who was on the side, advised, "Your Excellency, since Germany is confident that it will only send the Bismarck and the Prinz Eugen to interfere with our supply lines, and they must have their backing, is it a little too risky for us to rush over like this?" ”
Hodland smiled and said, "Cole, you have to remember that fighting every enemy is a glorious tradition of the Royal Navy of the British Empire for three hundred years!" Moreover, we have the chance to win this battle, and the left rudder of the whole ship is moving at full speed in the direction of Bismarck! ”
"Hey......" Cole, who knew that he was powerless to dissuade Hodland, could only smile bitterly and order the first mate to convey Hodland's order, and the British army gave up the original distance advantage and advanced at full speed in the direction of Bismarck!
Mutter Brinkman, who had seen this scene through his telescope, exclaimed in surprise, "Are the British troops crazy?" Immediately send a flag message and ask Captain Cheng Hao for our next action instructions! ”
"Yes!" The crew members who received the order passed on the order layer by layer, and the surprise was far more than just Mutter Brinkmann.
Just under the water not far from the place of battle, a small group of wolves quietly circled the back of the Prince of Wales, intending to give her a fatal blow, Prion threw a periscope, observed the target for a while, licked his dry lips, and asked suspiciously, "Why did the British ship suddenly turn?" Quietly keep up. The sailor next to him nodded, and under the water, the wolves changed their original course and leaned behind the British ship and chased after them. The wolves with their fangs hidden are waiting for an opportunity to deal a fatal blow to the invincible British fleet!
"It seems that Hodland is very confident......" Looking at the British battleship that was getting closer and closer, Cheng Hao asked Bismarck, "At close range, is it possible to use armor-piercing shells to hit Hood's ammunition bay?" ”
Bismarck thought carefully for a moment and replied - "Captain, at the moment, at close range, I can control the exact direction of a shell, but there is a lot of pressure on the captain's soul network, Captain, you see ......"
"I don't have a problem, you can just go on, don't worry about me." Cheng Hao touched Bismarck's hair, "Persian cat, let's think about how to hit Hood's ammunition bay, haha"
Looking at Cheng Hao, who suddenly became improper, Bismarck was rare for a moment and said, "Captain, it's time to fight!" Besides, I really didn't have that Persian cat! ”
The Persian cat that Bismarck said is undoubtedly the ship cat called "Oscar", since he found out that Bismarck's side is always followed by a black Persian cat that day, Cheng Hao sometimes has a bad taste, always calling Bismarck a Persian cat......
Saying that Bismarck's cat ears moved in the cold wind, it was very cute.
