Tempted by the young spirit of the German fleet, Hodland was ecstatic and ordered the fleet to approach Bismarck at full speed, in a vain attempt to use accurate aiming at close range to quickly sink Bismarck.

According to the kinetic energy theorem, when the initial kinetic energy obtained is equal, the muzzle velocity of the flick is higher, and the maximum armor-piercing capacity is higher under the same delay fuse. However, due to the fact that the drag in flight cannot be ignored, especially when receiving the action of lateral wind, the lateral deviation of the flick is greater, so the walking range is larger.

If you have to compare the advantage range, the absolute advantage range of the light bullet is about 12,000 yards, and when converted, the most suitable combat range for Bismarck is 5.9244 nautical miles.

In a naval battle, the distance of 6 nautical miles was quite close to a battleship, and even if Hodland was stupid, he would not have pushed the battleship to such a distance to confront Bismarck.

At this time, Andreas suddenly ran over, "Your Excellency, Captain Brinkmann asked what is the goal of their mission?" ”

"Let Mutter Brinkmann find the right time to attack the Prince of Wales, his main task is to cooperate with the U-boat to harass the Prince of Wales battleship hiding behind Hood as much as possible, it is best to sink it, I don't want to beware of the Prince of Wales sneak attack when we are bombarded by Hood." Cheng Hao, who was carefully watching the actions of the Hood, said lightly to Andreas.

Tactically, the Battle of Denmark was a German victory, but strategically it was a German defeat, as it was damaged by the battleship Prince of Wales in the Battle of Denmark with two 356mm armor-piercing shells. One hit the boiler compartment, which was not affected because of the thick armor protection, and the other hit the bow of the ship, directly penetrating the No. 2 fuel tank, and the emergency repair was ineffective, resulting in the 200 tons of fuel oil in the No. 2 fuel tank being buried in vain.

The spilled fuel drifted on the sea, exposing the whereabouts of the battleship, shortening the voyage and setting the stage for the later pursuit of the Royal Navy's home fleet.

How could Cheng Hao, who is familiar with this history, make such a mistake, and sent a U-boat to follow the Prince of Wales at the beginning, waiting for an opportunity to act, in this life, does the battleship Prince of Wales still have this kind of opportunity?

At this time, the distance between the two sides was 12 nautical miles, and the warring sides aimed at the target almost at the same time, and a huge roar resounded in this sea area, and the commanders of the two sides chose to fire at the same time with a very "tacit understanding", and the warships of both sides fired the third salvo!

"Cancel the longitudinal queue, and the whole ship will maneuver to evade!" Lu Teyans, who came back from the radio room, ordered, then turned his head and explained to Cheng Hao

"Generally, after firing a salvo at close range, immediately change the original course and avoid the attack, because you don't know if your opponent is also attacking you, and sometimes you have to shoot a certain amount in advance according to the enemy's speed, these things are experience, and you will understand if you participate in a few more battles" Saying that, Lu Teyansi patted Cheng Hao's shoulder, "The degree to which you can do in the second actual combat is already quite good." ”

At this time, on the battlecruiser Hood, Cole walked to the captain's room while supporting the wounded Hood, as for the battle, Cole, who was commanded by Vice Admiral Holdland, did not care, and he was casually the captain of the Hood, but without Holdland's order, he did not even have the right to order fire.

Because his soul network is only B-class, and this is still not even a complete embodiment of Hood's ship. Even most of the huge mental power borne by using combat skills was provided by Hood, if it weren't for the fact that his strength was too weak, how could it cause Hood's strength to not even be able to exert half of it......

Therefore, King George VI granted himself the Ring of Oath, if it weren't for the fact that the ship spirit would only follow one captain in his life, he would have been replaced by the above, Cole said with a wry smile. I'm really too weak......

Cole helped Hood to the bed in the captain's room, gently covered her with a quilt, smiled bitterly, and said, "Hood, you can rest here for a while, the burden on you to use combat skills overnight is too great, I will go to the bridge to see the battle situation, and I will leave first......" After speaking, without waiting for Hood to answer, Cole hurriedly left the captain's room and walked towards the bridge......

At this moment, the heavy shell, carefully controlled by Bismarck, cleverly tore through the thick armor of the Hood, pierced through six decks, and fell straight into the ammunition compartment under the turret along the narrow unprotected passage. The 300-ton high-explosive charge was directly detonated, the middle and rear parts of the "Hood" were torn apart, and the huge explosive force threw a turret into the gray air like a storm of falling leaves. The sea rushed into the cabin frantically, extinguishing the fire inside. The battleship sank rapidly, smoke billowed from the main deck, flames engulfed the superstructure, and the "Hood" became a charred empty shell.

By the time the black smoke cleared, the once-famous battlecruiser was gone. All but three of the ship's 1,419 officers and men were killed, including Vice Admiral Holland, commander of the advance fleet.
