Chapter 837: Fighting 2

The Japanese Navy is under the British Navy, and admires the Royal Navy, but no matter what, the glorious achievements of the Royal Navy are history, since the end of the sail era, the Royal Navy has almost no new achievements, and now, as the world's most brilliant country in the battle of steam ironclad warships, the Japanese are also a little proud, after all, up to now, the Japanese have won the Beiyang Fleet, the American fleet and the Russian fleet. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

And now, the British fleet, with its deliberate and unintentional calculations, and the caliber of its guns being an inch higher than that of the other side, actually made a tie, which made the Japanese downgrade their evaluation of the British by half a notch. According to the words of this Japanese officer, Lao Tzu had the advantage of the American battleships on the German-made Asama armored cruiser back then, and they were so high that they didn't know where they were!

"The German battleships have better defense, this is their consistent philosophy, the British shells seem to be difficult to destroy their core compartment, the battle has been fought so far, the firepower of the two German battleships has been maintained very well, but the British are very bad, look at the Barem in the back, its third turret seems to have not fired for a long time, and the fourth turret has become a torch." A young officer with only three fingers on one hand next to him pointed to Baliem in the distance.

"So, you mean, the British could lose?" Kantaro Suzuki looked at the officer next to him, who was jokingly called "eight cents" by his colleagues, and said.

"I think so, it was very difficult for the British guns to destroy the German battleships, and the German battleships easily penetrated the British turrets, and if I remember correctly, the main turrets of the Queen Elizabeth-class battleships had the same frontal and side main armor belt defenses, and maybe a just right hit would have cost the queen blood." Yamamoto Fifty-six on the side said. (As for why Yamamoto Fifty-six is called eight cents, interested readers can look it up.) )

The so-called bystanders are clear, and the authorities are confused. The two sides bombarded each other for a long time, and the number of bullets on both sides exceeded double digits, and basically hit everywhere they could. But judging from the current situation, the firepower of the German battleships has not decreased, and the situation of the British Barem is somewhat not good.

And in this case, Kantaro Suzuki should think about it, if in case, the British can't hold it and choose to retreat, then what will he do ....... Gao Chiho is an unprotected battleship, and if you look at the distance, it doesn't seem to be too far, and now the Germans can't free their hands, if they can free their hands, they won't be seconds by the minute?

"We moved away, and then sent a telegram to the Malaya and the War Weary to the north, telling them once again the location of the German battleships." Kantaro Suzuki ordered.

The pace of the battle seemed to gradually fall to the side of the Germans, but there were some minor twists and turns. "Okay, the power is restored, tell the people up there, give it a try." An oil-stained Royal Navy soldier shouted at his colleague above.

With the roar of machinery, the No. 3 turret, which had been out of operation for more than ten minutes, began to slowly turn, and the low-hanging gun muzzle was once again raised high, aiming at the fast battleship Gneisenau, which was constantly spitting flames in the distance. After some effort, the British finally repaired the No. 3 turret. When the No. 3 turret erupted in long flames again, almost all the British breathed a sigh of relief, and they finally had the ability to fight their opponents!

Rumble! Flames instantly filled the entire field of vision. A 15-INCH SHELL LANDED ON THE GNEISENAU'S CONNING TOWER, AND THE VIOLENT EXPLOSION LEFT AN 8-INCH DEEP RADIOACTIVE CRATER ON THE 400MM THICK STEEL PLATE. With the help of others, Raeder stood up, patted his tinnitus ear, and then walked to the observation hole, looking at the Baliem in the distance, which was constantly firing. "It's tenacious."

The British were fighting back for nearly an hour, and at this time, the two fleets were sailing southwest at a speed of 21 knots, and the British, although they seemed to be somewhat inferior, still bit their opponents. In this case, both sides were a little impatient, the British wanted to regain their inferiority, and the Germans wanted to make their opponents give up the pursuit completely with a heavy blow - for example, to slow them down!

"Get impermanence and Dublin on board, we need its torpedoes." Thomas said. The entire British fleet was just like that, 2 light cruisers. Originally, Thomas didn't want the lambs to participate in the fight between the lions, because even a slight blow from the lion might be fatal to these battleships that could only defend against 6-inch high-explosive bombs, but now, Thomas felt more and more powerless.

Two light cruisers under the command of Colonel Sinclair were ready to launch a lightning strike. They increased their speed to 25 knots and quickly entered the battlefield from the rear of the fleet, and their chosen target was the Gneisenau, which was in the second position. Light cruisers are also very particular about playing with lightning strikes.

Take the MK2 21-inch torpedo equipped on two light cruisers, for example, this fish has two speed gears, and can hit 5000 meters at a speed of 30 knots and 35 meters at a speed of 3600 ....... If you want to hit a battleship, the most optimistic estimate is that you should also get close to about 3,000 meters....... And what to say about this distance? A narrow escape?!

The two light cruisers made good use of the cover provided by the Baliem's hull and the smoke generated on it, and when they had to expose themselves, the two battleships chose to approach at a very large angle to the German battleship, so that the rate of speed change would be large, which could significantly reduce the opponent's hit rate.

TWO LIGHT CRUISERS, LIKE FLYING FISHES CLOSE TO THE SEA, CAME INTO REDDER'S FIELD OF VISION, AND THE 150MM SECONDARY GUNS ON THE SIDE OF THE BOARD BEGAN TO TURN THEIR MUZZLES TO AIM AT THE BLADE-WIELDING ASSASSINS. Columns of water soon rose up on the surface of the sea 10 kilometers away, enveloping the impermanence that rushed to the front. BUT THE 150MM SEMI-ARMOR-PIERCING SHELLS WERE STILL LIMITED IN THE FACE OF BRITISH CRUISERS WITH THIN ARMOR BELTS OF NARCISSUS, AND THE SHELLS THAT HIT FROM TIME TO TIME DID NOT HAVE MUCH EFFECT, EXCEPT FOR A FEW FIRES ON THE HULL.

"The Germans' main guns are pinned down by the queens, and we can get closer." Major Sinclair, ordered the fleet to turn another half compass point. Get closer to your opponent from a more direct angle.

The current Raeder is really disgusted by these two small boats. He didn't dare to easily turn the muzzle of the main gun and aim at the fast-sailing assassins. But at the same time, the sparse number of 6-inch guns really hardly caused much damage to the light cruisers.

The third is more present~~~! Everyone, for the sake of the side New Year's holiday, it's still powerful, give more subscriptions~~~!
