With the huge roar of the battleship's main guns, which sounded in the ears of Cheng Hao and others, the huge water column splashed around the battleship, as well as the huge explosion, made Cheng Hao suddenly startled, and looked at Bismarck, who was suddenly unstable, Cheng Hao hurriedly helped him up.

"I'm fine, Captain, the hull of the ship has been wounded by the battleship Prince of Wales and has been hit by an armor-piercing shell. Hit the boiler room, protected by thick armor, the boiler room was not affected......" Bismarck looked at Cheng Hao, who was worried, and explained to Cheng Hao with the pain in his ankle.

The Bismarck-class battleships had 12 boilers and 3 engines, and the 12 boilers were distributed in groups of two and three in six boiler compartments arranged horizontally in groups of threes. It powers the two rear turbines in separate compartments and one alone in parallel with the diesel generator.

Unlike the engine room, which loses power directly when it is broken, the boiler room does not stop when it is damaged, but only slows down.

Fortunately, based on the characteristics of Bismarck's comprehensive protection, this armor-piercing shell of the Prince of Wales did not cause much damage to Bismarck's boiler room.

"Really...... That's good, you must protect yourself in battle, Bismarck......" Cheng Hao pursed his lips and said dryly to Bismarck. Facing the injured Bismarck, he can't even help her repair now...... This feeling of powerlessness ......

"It seems that after the naval battle, I must study this unreliable system carefully......

Frowning slightly, looking at the system where most of the icons are always gray, Cheng Hao's fist behind him clenched tighter and tighter.

Bismarck seemed to have guessed Cheng Hao's thoughts, gently smoothed the wrinkles of Cheng Hao's brows with his cold little hand, and said to Cheng Hao, "I'm very relieved to have the captain by my side, just leave the rest to me, our martial spirits were originally born for war...... Bismarck said with a bitter smile......

Born for war, resting until death, is this the last fate of martial spirits......

"Your Excellency Commander, I just received a telegram from Captain Prion that the Prince of Wales has changed its formation, and now it has become a single column!" Andreas had a telegram in his hand and hurriedly handed it to Lutjans.

"It seems that they have changed their tactics......" Lu Teyans, who had carefully read the telegram in his hand, revealed a look of admiration on his serious face, and said, "Knowing that they are invincible, they still have to face the battle, is this to delay time for the main fleet......

At this moment, he handed the telegram in his hand to Cheng Hao, and said, "Captain Cheng Hao, you can't drag it out, fight quickly!" If I'm not mistaken, our position has been exposed. Tovey already knows that we are in the Danish Strait......"

Cheng Hao, who took the telegram, nodded, indeed, if the Prince of Wales at this time had completed turning to speak, the advantage of the T-shaped horizontal position belonging to Bismarck and Prince Eugen would be gone.

It is important to know that the position of the T-shaped crosshead is insensitive to the ranging error and has enough time to adjust, while the enemy's ranging is difficult and difficult to correct, and the T-shaped crosshead can exert all the firepower of the battleship, while the vast majority of the firepower of the side that accounts for the T-shaped vertical cannot be exerted. This can be said to be quite a fatal point in naval warfare, and grabbing advantageous formations can be said to be the top priority in naval warfare.

"So we are now in the same parallel position as the Prince of Wales......"

In a naval battle, it is true that two columns are constantly moving to seize positions, and the fast side can have a greater chance of advancing and seizing the crosshead.

Obviously, the formation of the fast side has a greater probability of forcibly "don't car" and press on the head of the enemy formation. Of course, it also depends on the decisive ability of the commanders on both sides.

If the warships of both sides are similar in performance and there are no mistakes in command, in the end either side may not form an overwhelming formation advantage, and then the two sides will form two parallel lines to shell each other......

In the case of the Bismarck and the Prince of Wales, the latter is clearly the case, and the top speed of the two ships is almost the same, and now instead of competing with the Prince of Wales for T-shaped superiority, it is better to take advantage of the numerical superiority of the German fleet at this time to sink the Prince of Wales as soon as possible.

Cheng Hao thought for a moment and asked Bismarck, "Bismarck, can you still shoot that kind of precisely controlled cannonball now?" ”

Bismarck shook his head and replied, "Captain, that cannonball has already touched the realm of combat skills, if it weren't for the increase brought by the rank and the captain's soul network, I wouldn't even be able to hit that attack, and before the ship is unsealed, using that attack is already the limit." ”

"It seems that Bismarck's combat skills are still the same as in the game...... Flagship killer ......"

Although I don't know how the experience data in the game is synchronized to Bismarck, Bismarck's training level has indeed reached level 75, and from the perspective of the current power system of this world, Bismarck is very close to the mature ship spirit, even Bismarck, who rashly used that power before getting the ship's equipment, and was subject to so many restrictions, how terrifying the strength of the mature ship spirit is, it can be imagined......

"In the present situation, Bismarck, can you judge the position of the Prince of Wales?"

Lütjans put down the telescope in his hand and asked Bismarck, who was leaning on Cheng Hao's arms.

Judging from the human eye alone, the two warring sides in a naval battle are almost all blurred black spots, and at this moment, the advantage of having the ship spirit side is immediately highlighted, quite accurate ranging!

On the battlefield, without the interference of a hostile ship spirit comparable to it, the perception range of the ship spirit can even reach a terrifying thirty nautical miles!

In the era of immature radar and electronics, it was easier to correct the left and right deviations of artillery, and it was very difficult to correct the distance deviations of artillery - in other words, it was difficult to measure range.

In this case, the side with the ship spirit can accurately hit the target without even too much ranging, and the ship spirit, which is naturally becoming increasingly scarce, is used as a hidden killer weapon for various countries.

Bismarck nodded, "It's a little disturbing, but it's still within the scope of observation." ”

"Really...... Communicate the exact position to the Prinz Eugen and fire as soon as the ammunition is reloaded! ”

Lütyans, who ordered towards Andreas, glanced at Cheng Hao, "Colonel Cheng Hao, don't rely too much on Bismarck's combat skills that he hasn't fully mastered, before the liberation of the ship, Bismarck has already done quite well!" ”

Cheng Hao sighed and replied to Lu Teyansi, "I know Your Excellency the Commander, it's me who is too impatient. ”

After Andreas told the Prince of Wales to the Prince of Eugen not far away, the two ships, which had already aimed at the Prince of Wales, opened fire almost simultaneously.

A salvo that marked the end of the Danish naval battle began......
