"Discover the target! Two battleships! It should be a battleship! Oh my God, it would be terrible if this were not a British ship! "When the two sides are close to 16 kilometers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The Japanese finally found two German battleships stuck to the coastline! Although the rangefinder can clearly observe the shape of the two battleships, it is still difficult to see the opponent clearly from the telescope of Yuzaburo Kato.

As an officer, the worst thing is when the two sides fight each other and you don't know who your opponent is! There is no way, the so-called sight of the rangefinder can only see a shadow of a ship. The details are not clear at all, in the history of World War II, the Germans can see the Prestige battlecruiser as Nelson, and the British can also regard Prince Eugen as Bismarck, which shows that seeing is not necessarily believing.

And these miscalculations did have a certain effect, the former directly scared away two German battleships (Shag two ships. And the latter was even more because of the misjudgment of the ship's type, which led to the concentration of fire on the wrong target, so that Bismarck did Hood without interference!

"It would be bad if it was a dreadnought!" Yuzaburo Kato chuckled in his heart, and he could feel a drop of cold sweat running down his neck from his head. The difference between the dreadnought and the former dreadnought is not in the amount of projection, if it is compared to the weight of the shell projection, the battleship Satsuma is not necessarily worse than the dreadnought, is the projection of 4 12-inch guns and 6 10-inch guns really worse than the 8 12-inch guns of the dreadnought? Not necessarily!

The real gap lies in the unified caliber of the main gun, the consistent ballistic performance, and the ultra-long-range engagement capability brought by the advanced fire control system, of course, the dreadnought was not expected at the beginning of the design in history, and the fire control at the beginning could not keep up, so the long-distance combat advantage of the dreadnought was not brought into play. But now, the super dreadnoughts have come out, and the navies of all countries in the world naturally understand this truth.

The key to long-range fire control is continuous tracking and correction, and the large number of artillery pieces can be used to quickly calibrate the target at a speed of 20 seconds in the form of a half-salvo. Generally speaking, three shots in one round is the bare minimum. Then the shooting elements are corrected by the situation of the impact point. But the problem with the dreadnought is that it only has 4 main guns, although the 4 guns can also be corrected, but because the interval is too large, it leads to a slower accuracy speed, and the correction efficiency decreases.

Although the current fire control allows the former dreadnought to still work at a distance of about 10 kilometers, it is still much worse than the effective range of the dreadnought of more than 15 kilometers! The other party can hit you, and the feeling that you can't fight back shouldn't be too bad!

Soon, the shells fired from a distance proved how correct Yuzaburo Kato's guess was! Accompanied by a loud explosion, 4 water columns nearly 100 meters high rose on the non-combating side of the Satsuma battleship! Almost half of the officers and men of the Japanese Navy could see the wall of water less than 300 meters from their own hull! In an instant, the tension and excitement of the battle filled Yuzaburo Kato's body!

"Fifteen kilometers away, we don't have a chance to hit!" Soon the rangefinder reported a number that made him feel desperate, it was too far, although it was within the theoretical range of the 10-inch gun, but the backward fire control was still weak for these huge numbers of secondary guns.

"Releasing the smoke, we leaned in, maybe a dreadnought, but they came here from the North Sea, and the machinery must be badly damaged, and the speed will not be fast. Bring the distance closer to 10 km! Yuzaburo Kato ordered.

"After getting close to the target, let the Anyi join us to concentrate firepower on the opponent's flagship!" A moment later, Yuzaburo Kato added another order, to put it bluntly, the output of the former dreadnought was basically to get close and make a fool of himself. And according to his experience, as a battleship, he is still relatively strong, at least the 14-inch gun of the Kongo-class can't help the Satsuma's ten-inch main armor belt at a distance of 10 kilometers, so it is also a good choice to concentrate firepower to kill the enemy when he thinks he can carry it?

The two Japanese battleships rushed forward at full power, and then the boilers of the two battleships were so pointed, the steam turbines were so output, and they were all old ships that participated in the Russo-Japanese War, at this time, how high do you want to drive? 17 knots to the sky! Billowing black smoke came out of the chimney, but the speed just couldn't go up, in Su Xiong's eyes, these figures hidden in the smoke were as slow as snails!

The smoke canisters did do something to help, at least the Scharnhorst's shelling was not very accurate, and then Suchon asked the fleet to keep their distance while letting the shelling slow down. But to Suxiong's surprise, the shelling of the Gneisenau in the back was still going on.

"Does this hit the target?" Su Xiong sent a flag to the Gneisenau with some confusion and asked.

"Our Seagull seaplane is larger and can carry three people on it, one person to control the radio and the other to observe where the shells land." The answer of the Gnaisenau made Su Xiong's eyes light up, so it turned out to be like this! It's easy for smoke to block the view from the horizon, but if you change the angle, you can't! This idea is very good, Su Xiong nodded subconsciously.

However, although the observers on the Seagull can see the battleship Aki, and can also see the impact point, but how to describe this is very problematic, although the aviation school shooting has opened a window, but there is obviously still a certain distance from Dacheng, the seagull is constantly circling in the air, flying over the huge battleship from time to time, and then reporting the observed impact point, but the effect is very limited in the end.......

The German fleet was upwind, and when the Japanese fleet rushed over, the sea breeze would naturally disperse a large amount of smoke, and it was precisely because of this headwind move that the Japanese smoke did not achieve the expected effect, well, to make it clear, when the Japanese smoke cans were used up, the distance between them and the German battleships was still about 14 kilometers! This is still a case where the other party has no acceleration to run!

And when the smoke cleared, the two German fast battleships could finally be powerful! The officers and men of the two German battleships were drawn from the Helgoland-class battleships, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are familiar with the battleships of this class for several years. Although technically compared with the Bavaria-class battleships, the Bavaria-class battleships have not been in service for long, and in terms of actual combat level, only from the perspective of gunnery, these veterans from the Helgoland-class battleships are definitely the highest! Su Xiong's subordinates are the masters who can compete for the Emperor's Award, the highest award in German naval gunnery, every year!
