Chapter 869: Double Kill!
The battleship Bavaria successfully hit two turrets with two shells in one and a half salvos! One of the shells, after breaking one of the barrels, bounced again, leaving a bullet mark on the top of the turret that was several meters long. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info It's like being scratched by the giant claws of a prehistoric beast.
Another shell easily tore through the armor belt on the front of the Queen Mary 2 turret, and from the outside, a point of light flashed on the turret, and then quickly expanded, in less than 1 second, this shell instantly killed more than 50 British naval officers and men in the turret, and the scorching flames instantly filled the entire turret, and then detonated the shells and propellants in the turret!
Rumble! A huge shock wave vented through the gaps and gaps in the turret, the entire piece of armor peeled off, and thick clouds of smoke rose and a large amount of flame went down the open ammunition delivery channel. Along the way, shells and propellant packs were detonated, and it was not until the British flooded the ammunition depot that the battleship escaped for the time being.
After pouring thousands of tons of seawater, the Queen Mary had a first roll of about 10 degrees, and even though the speed was not high, the sea wolves that surged up from time to time when the battleship sailed still rushed to the deck, and even rushed to the gun .......
"Actually, the Queen Mary hit quite accurately." Looking at the target in the distance, which was constantly covered in water and flames, Scheer didn't know what he was thinking about.
"Well, it's just not useful." The prince glanced at the bullet mark on the top of the Bavarian No. 1 turret through the observation window of the conning tower, and said indifferently. The shell struck the top armor of the Bavarian turret, destroying the turret rangefinder with ease, but it was unharmed. If the prince's perception was correct, the British warcruiser should have hit itself three times, except for one in the turret, and the other in the tail. A fire was lit, not too small, and then another shot hit the broadside armor belt. Aside from smashing the thin steel plates on the outside, there is no use for eggs.
In fact, the Queen Mary was also the best performer in the Jutland avant-garde in history, scrapping one of the Sedritz turrets shortly after the battle. However, after switching to rough-skinned Bavaria this time, Queen Mary's shelling did not threaten much.
The Queen Mary, which had been hit in succession, was also a little panicked, and he was ready to fine-tune the course to avoid the opponent's blow, but the Bavaria's shelling of up to 24 seconds did not give the opponent a chance at all, and in the next salvo, the Queen Mary was hit again! The half-pulled top armor plates of turret 4 were blown off in a massive explosion and slammed into the deck. A large amount of air poured in from the breach, which greatly fueled the fire inside the turret, and as many as 70 officers and men in the turret were all killed in less than a minute, and the whole turret remembered the continuous explosion.
To add insult to injury, the Queen Mary hit the dressing room at the bottom of turret 4! The British, on the other hand, had only one turret fire door, and the ammunition room was a ...... without a fire door. This cannon damaged the Queen Mary even more than the former combined! More than 20 shells and more than 40 projectile packs were detonated in an instant, and more than a dozen tons of ammunition suddenly burst out of their light and heat! In an instant, a pillar of fire more than 40 meters long rose into the sky, and the violent explosion cut the entire battleship from the position of the No. 4 turret like a sharp sword!
A wide crack ran down the upper deck. The constant explosion was like a giant chainsaw, tearing at the crumbling hull of the ship. And the flames from the explosion poured into the ammunition compartment at an extremely high speed, and this time, the British were not so lucky, and the officers and soldiers located in the ammunition depot were directly engulfed in flames without even having a chance to fill the water.
Most of the shells that hit the Queen Mary were concentrated in the rear of the hull, and the second half of the regular hull was almost shrouded in flames and smoke, and when the last explosion from the ammunition depot sounded, the thick black smoke and the flash of the explosion engulfed the entire battleship, and all kinds of parts and fragments were blown into the sky, including even a transport boat more than ten meters long! The battleship continued to move forward under the huge inertia, and then the stern of the hull fell off, and under the pull of the huge force, the Queen Mary jerked to the left, the angle instantly exceeded 35 degrees, and finally plunged headlong into the sea!
The tall bridge and the hull of the ship, which was more than 200 meters long, slapped flat on the water in this way, and the huge impact made the tall three-legged mast of the battleship instantly shatter into several pieces. The battleship sank very quickly, sinking to the bottom of the sea in just a few minutes, and at this time, the debris fell one after another, scattered within a radius of several kilometers, most of them fell into the sea, and a few smashed on the British destroyer next to it.
"The Queen Mary is finished." Look at the flash of light that suddenly appears in the distance. There was a deafening cheer from the conning tower on the Bavaria!
"Long live the Imperial Navy!" "Yongchang, Kingdom of Bavaria!" Cheers came from the various compartments of the battleship, and as a battleship designed for Bavaria and named Bavaria, it was normal for it to recruit a large number of Bavarians. And one of the important reasons why the prince chose this battleship is that they are all "their own people". It's easier to get recognized.
"Well, our mission today isn't just about this ship." The prince smiled and stood up, making a gesture to calm everyone's excitement.
With a bang, a column of water rose against the hull of the Bavaria, and the entire battleship shook slightly, "We seem to have been hit by a mine?!" After standing firm, a terrible thought arose in the prince's heart. What is the saying? No matter how high the kung fu is, I'm afraid of torpedoes! Something should have exploded at the bottom of the Bavarian hull just now!
"What's the situation? Find out now! Soon, the conning tower in the midst of a sea of joy quickly resumed its hustle and bustle in battle. Judging from the instrument, the Bavarian blow does not seem to be serious, but only caused a slight inclination of 2 degrees, and at this angle, even the water injection balance is saved.
Soon the results came out, and no submarines were found on the surface of the sea, and even if there were submarines, it would be difficult to catch up with a fleet with a speed of at least 20 knots. At the same time, it is even more impossible to have mines, who has nothing to do to lay mines on the wide sea, and looking at the shadows of the ships that appeared in the northeast direction, the Warriors, New Zealand and Australia, which were constantly sprayed with tongues of fire, the prince knew that reinforcements from the British were coming. And the blow just now was hit by a certain warship fired by a bullet in the water.
