Chapter 865: Melee Combat 2

After Antrim was beaten into a dead fish, and then sent to the bottom of the sea by the V17 destroyer with 1 torpedo, the British light cruiser and destroyer responsible for the lightning strike immediately lost their unified command, although the Devonshire light cruiser located in the back raised the command flag at the first time, but the three light cruisers released clouds of smoke one after another, who knows what signal you hit! When the smoke screen gradually cleared, the three light cruisers made different choices, with the Devon and Argyll light cruisers continuing their sorties, while the Locksburg chose to retreat ........

"Hold the grass!" The Devonshire had just burst out of the smoke when it saw several gray figures speeding past the side of the hull. Subconsciously, the cruiser aimed its guns at one of the guys, although most of the people on the big ship didn't even see what ship was on the opposite side for the first time, but they knew that this livery was definitely not a British ship.......

The high-explosive shells fired by the 6-inch and 4-inch guns instantly covered a German destroyer a few hundred meters away, and the destroyer, numbered S5, was bitten to death by a big bad wolf that jumped out of the "Black Forest" before ...... was killed. It's also sad enough.

But the other two White Rabbits, no, are the destroyers V7 and V11. AT THE CRITICAL MOMENT, THE RABBIT AND THE EAGLE PERFORMED THE MASTERY, AND THE TWO TWIN 500MM TORPEDO TUBES AIMED AT THE "BIG BAD WOLF" THAT WAS RAGING. "With the explosion of compressed air, 4 gray torpedoes entered the water.

THE G7 TORPEDO, WEIGHING 1360KG AND CHARGING UP TO 195KG, IS DEFINITELY A WEAPON FOR GERMAN DESTROYERS IN WAR 1, WITH A SPEED OF 37 KNOTS AND A SPEED OF 4,000 METERS, AND A SPEED OF 27 KNOTS AT 9,300 METERS. At a distance of less than 1 km, it is only a matter of minutes for these torpedoes with muzzle velocity to hit the target!

The smoke from the artillery fire and the smoke from the smoke canisters had not yet dissipated, and the British did not even notice that the assassins next to them fired four torpedoes at a distance, and more than forty seconds later, a huge column of water suddenly rose from the side of the unfortunate British light cruiser! The explosives weighing 195KG were like a peerless weapon that directly cut off this light cruiser! The torpedo exploded and detonated the ammunition depot located in the middle of the hull, and the violent explosion even lifted part of the bottom of the ship out of the water! A huge fireball rose into the sky, and half a minute later, the hapless light cruiser quickly sank to the bottom of the sea.

WHEN THE BRITISH CHOSE TO RELEASE THE SMOKE SCREEN, THE GERMAN LIGHT CRUISER OBVIOUSLY RETREATED, ALTHOUGH THE FRANKFURT-CLASS LIGHT CRUISER HAD A DISPLACEMENT OF MORE THAN 6,500 TONS AND HAD SIX 175MM GUNS, BUT IF IT WAS HIT BY A TORPEDO, IT WAS ESTIMATED THAT IT WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO RETURN TO THE ....... No way, shipborne torpedoes are too powerful. At this time, Rear Admiral Bodik naturally could not risk the expensive light cruisers, which were actually as scarce as the capital ships in terms of numbers....... And unfortunately, the Devon-class light cruisers just like this rammed the destroyers of the Germans. Then it was shaded .......

The light cruiser Argyll rushed out of the smoke screen with several destroyers, the first of which was the Sandfly. There didn't seem to be the sound of artillery fire outside, so it was supposed to be safe, and then the Argyle and three other British destroyers rushed out, and then two huge figures appeared in front of the British...... The "big bad wolf" of the Argyll ran into two amazing guys, the battleship Hesse, which can be called the Tyrannosaurus Rex in naval battles, and the battleship Oldenburg in the back!

"We seem to have achieved our goal." The captain of the destroyer Elf looked at the shadow of the ship sailing at high speed in the distance, and his throat trembled slightly, and his voice trembled a little. They managed to evade the intercepting German light cruiser formation and approached the main German fleet.

But what does the current situation say? It's still a bit far, 6 kilometers away! If you want to hit with a torpedo, I'm afraid you can't use faith! After all, people are also sailing, and the distance between the two sides is still increasing, and when you launch it, you are 6 kilometers apart, and after the torpedo passes, how much is the distance? Eighty percent is out of range!

Just when the British hesitated to continue the charge without the cover of a smoke screen, or turn around and leave, the Germans on the opposite side would not give you this opportunity! THE GUNS ON THE SIDES OF THE TWO GERMAN BATTLESHIPS QUICKLY TURNED THEIR MUZZLES, FIRST OF ALL THE 6-INCH GUNS AND THE 88MM ANTI-MINE GUNS. More than 30 guns of various small and medium calibres were intertwined into a web of fire, and the first was to capture the destroyer Sand Fly, which was like an insect falling into a spider's web, and was torn to pieces by the furious fire in an instant, and could not launch the torpedo until it died.

And the Oldenburg in the back is even more straightforward, directly flattening the main gun, it is really unpleasant to hit rabbits with shotguns, how interesting is it to hit the big bad wolf with deer hunting bullets? Eight large cannons, almost parallel to the sea, were aimed at the light cruiser Argyll not far away.

"The distance is 6500 meters! Fire! "The fire controller of the Oldenburg directly delegated the firing authority to the individual turrets, relying on a 3-meter turret rangefinder, and 6,500 meters of flat fire was not too easy. Before the British could react, a bombardment like a wave of hellfire had swept in!

The slender cannonball was like a long knife, and the first knife scrapped half of the Argyll's Heavenly Spirit Cover, and the slender bow was gnawed off more than half at the waterline! And at high speed, a large amount of seawater rushed in, causing the already small light cruiser to have a serious first tilt!

And then? The rest of the problem was easy to solve, the British cruiser with its plummeting speed immediately became a target for Oldenburg, and the shells fired from the four twin main guns fell on the hapless light cruiser, and three minutes later, the Oldenburg reaped its first definite result in this naval battle! Although it did not have the thrill of hitting the ammunition depot with one hit, after tearing three openings ranging from 5 meters to 7 meters long on the side of the opponent's ship, this light cruiser finally rolled into the bottom of the sea due to too much water, and even the torpedo was saved!

In fact, the battle has been fought so far, this wave of lightning strikes has actually failed, the light cruiser formation as the MT and the vanguard sank three ships, ran away, and the remaining destroyers still wanted to rush through the multiple interceptions of the German light cruisers and destroyers and then get close to within 5 kilometers and release torpedoes? What do you think? Dreaming, right?

So most of the destroyers of the second wave chose to evacuate, while the remaining destroyers tried to run, but after the smoke screen cleared, these destroyers were chased by wolf-like Frankfurt-class light cruisers with a bunch of German mine-strike ships/destroyers starting with V, G, and S, and then killed one by one.
