Chapter 63: This is the Fight?
Only by saving himself can he talk about defeating his opponent and participating in the first naval battle, and the traverser is also a little dizzy, but Prince Ruprecht can at least be sure of the following:
"First, the Japanese will never stop, and the madness of their bones will make them lose their minds, especially this seemingly irreparable scene! They will attack like mad dogs, and even if they make a peaceful settlement, it will only be imaginary! ”
"Second, you must keep your distance, as long as your ship does not hit the reef and does not run aground, and is not hit by the opponent's torpedo, it is not a big problem, even if you run into the main force of the Japanese Combined Fleet, you can still flash people!"
"Thirdly, the 8-inch armored conning tower of the armored cruiser Mainz is worthy of your trust! He didn't care what the other commanders did, anyway, the traverser didn't go out. ”
"Tell the people below to keep your distance! Whether it's a fight or a draw, be sure to keep your distance! Under the orders of the traverser, Hipper immediately communicated with the underside through the microphone.
As the armored cruiser Mainz approached, the two Japanese cruisers finally spotted each other! The Mainz's huge hull and dense rapid-fire guns on the sidelines made the Japanese shudder, and when they saw the Eagle Flag of the Second Reich Navy on the mast! Heihachiro Togo and Hikonosumi Uemura felt a cold air rush from the tail vertebrae directly to the door of their heads, and their hearts almost froze!
"Amaterasu bless!" Some of the officers below were simply stupid, they really thought that there was really a German battleship next to it at this time, and it was such a powerful German battleship! If Yoshino was here, they would have dared to fight, but now Yoshino doesn't know where to run! 2 to 1 numerical advantage for the top egg?
"What should I do?" The Akitsu Prefecture signaled and asked.
"Surprise attack, torpedo!" Togo Heihachiro as the commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet in later generations is not lacking in courage, this guy's courage is as big as a bucket when it is dried, in his opinion, the matter is irreparable now, if the German battleship is not there, then it is easy to say anything, it is a big deal to lose money, but the key now is to beat people's merchant ships to a thousand holes under the nose of others, this is a provocation, and the two sides have no room for turn!
In that case, what nonsense is there, find a way to kill the opponent! As for what will happen later, it's not up to him to manage, if this battle is lost, whether he can go back alive or not is two words!
Of course, he knew that if he did it brutely, he would definitely die, so the cunning Japanese commander came up with another way, and the two battleships stopped the attack on the Haisheng, and then approached the German fleet, and when they approached, some of the personnel left their gun positions and stood on the deck, making a gesture of not being an enemy of their opponents.
"Anyway, rapid-fire guns are useless, it depends on whether the main gun and torpedo can make a difference!" Heihachiro Togo is gambling, he carries forward the centuries-old Japanese tradition of hysterically betting that he can win!
"The Japanese stopped, and they seemed intent on reconciliation." Herbert did his best to stop the German naval officers who were overloaded with adrenaline and could strike at any moment.
"They're approaching, and the crew is on deck, which means they don't intend to engage us!" Herbert continued. "Are you making the same gesture?"
"Let them keep their distance, their rapid-fire guns are useless to us, we are worried about the main guns and torpedoes of the Japanese!" The anxious roar of the traverser came from the bridge microphone! And this sentence seems to have woken up some people, no matter how the Japanese are, keeping a distance first is equivalent to maintaining the advantage, and you can't let the opponent get too close! What if one torpedo is hit?
"Keep your distance, stop moving forward, and send someone in a dinghy to come and make contact!" Soon, the Mainz played such a banner!
"Damn, we're exposed!" The thieves first lost their breath and missed the last chance to settle the problem peacefully. The two Japanese cruisers began to accelerate rapidly, and all the personnel ran to the battle position amid the sharp battle siren, and the guns of the two Japanese cruisers spewed fire snakes at the Mainz at a distance of 1,500 meters!
"They actually attacked us?" When the dense rain of bullets swept towards the main deck of the Mainz, almost all the Germans thought the Japanese were crazy! They don't even believe their eyes! Herbert stared blankly at the Japanese battleship spitting fire snakes, and spoke in surprise!
"Watch out for torpedoes!" Almost the officers and men on the armored cruiser Mainz couldn't believe that the first battle order after the battle suddenly started was actually issued by a prince!
The luck of the Japanese can be called against the sky, the fire of the two cruisers' side chords of 2 260-inch guns, 3 150MM guns, 3 6-inch rapid-fire guns, and 3 4.7-inch rapid-fire guns directly blew up the unprotected bridge of the Mainz! And most of the commanders were on the bridge at that time, and they didn't expect that the Japanese would be really decisive! In just a few minutes, the German officers in the group were either killed or wounded.
"Your Royal Highness, I'm afraid you are the supreme commander of this ship now." The armored cruiser Mainz, which was passing through a hail of rapid-fire guns, was hit almost every minute, and when Hipper was sure that the other commanders on the bridge were not responding, he immediately spoke to the traverser.
"Be careful with the torpedo, then evade it in the northeast direction, after avoiding the blow, turn to the southwest, and we cut through from behind!" The traverser has no combat experience other than a few naval war chess exercises in his previous life, but his intuition tells him that as long as he can open up the distance and fight for firepower and armor, the opponent will not be able to beat him no matter how much he opens! Of course, the specific command details have to be polished by Hipper!
The first order of the traverser saved the lives of everyone on the ship, the huge armored cruiser immediately evaded in the opposite direction, and the Japanese had to shoot torpedoes at a distance of 1200 meters! Sporadic shots of compressed air-powered torpedoes at this distance had little chance of hitting. It's useless for Aunt Amaterasu to bless! Several white lines crossed the rear of the armored cruiser Mainz, leaving white trails!
"Damn it! Such a large hull is so flexible! Togo Heihachiro cursed, after watching his lightning strike be dodged by the other party, he realized that the next battle might not be so easy to fight, his own firepower could not effectively damage the battleship, and even most of the shells that hit the armor plate left a pit, and the effect of setting fire was not there. As long as the other party eases up, then he is in danger!
"They evacuated in the direction of 2 o'clock, and the Germans were going to run!" However, the Japanese officers under his command seemed to be happy with the start, and the two ashigaru took advantage of the sneak attack to easily defeat a heavily armed samurai, which gave them a lot of confidence. They even intend to wreck the battleship!
