When the main fleet was attacked, Commodore Pachner, who commanded Prince Eugen, was still very calm, and he couldn't help but be calm, because of the light, he couldn't see the specific location ......of the French fleet clearly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Since you can't see it, it's still hairy! Although the brigadier general really wants to help Count Sipei, but in the current situation, it is really difficult to make a move.

Then the commodore quickly calculated the current situation in his heart, he did not have a destroyer in his hand, if he wanted to turn on the lights or release flares, he would soon expose himself, the French were well hidden, the lighting was by the background or the searchlight of the destroyer, their main fleet was always hidden in the dark, except for the muzzle fire, there was almost no other light source, which made the commodore very embarrassed .......

Although the situation of the count's fleet was critical, the brigadier general suppressed the fighting spirit in his heart when the situation was uncertain. Then he began to quietly sail in the direction of the French fleet.

"The French fleet is 8,000 meters away from us at 11 o'clock, and it should be about 15 knots. They didn't find us. An officer on the side whispered to the brigadier general.

"Very well, let's turn left 2 more compass points, and then turn northeast again to their non-belligerent side." Brigadier General Pachner pondered for a moment before saying. "Increase the speed to 22 knots! Find their flagship! ”

So, the fast battleship Prinz Eugen circled behind the French fleet and walked to the other side of the opponent, and then the background light and the muzzle fire of the French fleet confirmed the opponent's identity. And while maneuvering, the commodore was surprised to find that on the opposite side, the French did not have a single destroyer to cover! This is great news for the lonely Prinz Eugen, so you don't have to worry about being stabbed!

As time passed minute by minute, Pachna didn't dare to wait endlessly, after all, the main fleet lives like a year, and every minute has a huge risk, you can find an opportunity by yourself, but if the opportunity is really hard to find, you should also go up!

"Prepare to measure the range, and if there is no turning point within five minutes, aim at the opponent's first battleship and fire!" And just after this order was issued, the situation changed, after the Earl's fleet turned, in order to ensure the continuation of the attack, the French fleet also began to turn, and in order to ensure a smooth turn, a series of signal lights were played on the mast of the flagship France, and the officers and men on the Prinz Eugen were surprised to find that at this time, the distance between the flagship and themselves was actually shortened to within 6000 meters! And just when the French kept signaling lights. The rangefinder of the Prinz Eugen quickly measured the distance and direction of the other party!

THE 88MM GUNS ON THE SIDE CHORD OF THE PRINZ EUGEN RAISED THEIR MUZZLES SLIGHTLY, AND THE BATTLESHIP BEGAN TO GRADUALLY CONTROL ITS SPEED AND BEARING, AND UNDER THE COVER OF DARKNESS, THE PRINZ EUGEN STARED AT THE SIGNAL LIGHTS THAT WERE SHINING FROM TIME TO TIME NOT FAR AWAY LIKE A TIGER READY TO BE ATTACKED!

"5500 meters, release the flares!" After the rangefinder transmitted the data to the various gun emplacements, the Prinz Eugen made the final preparations before firing, and the four huge turrets pointed at the gradually clear figure in the distance like the spear of the dragon slayer. With a muffled sound of cannons, a series of flares rose into the sky, and a moment later, these shells, which descended almost in a line, instantly illuminated the surroundings of the battleship France as if it were day!

"Now, fire!" When the light returns, judgment comes! Clusters of dazzling firelight suddenly appeared behind the French fleet, and the sound like thunder instantly resounded throughout the battlefield. The distance was so close that the French didn't even realize they were being attacked when the German shells whizzed down on the France!

Close enough! The guy in the hand is good enough! AT A DISTANCE OF ONLY 5,200 METERS, THE PRINCE EUGEN GAVE UP HALF A SALVO AND DIRECTLY CHOSE A FULL SALVO, AND AT THIS MOMENT, 8 350MM HEAVY GUNS WERE IN FULL SWING! Eight thick pillars of fire erupted from the side of the hull of the Prinz Eugen, and at this moment, the Prinz Eugen was in full swing, and in 2 minutes, the battleship actually fired 5 full volleys! A storm of steel consisting of 40 main artillery shells and a large number of secondary artillery shells swept through the battleship France!

"Almost instantly, the fate of the Fraiselle was decided!" After the war, Pachner said proudly. The bombardment of an average of 23 seconds made it impossible for the French battleships to cope at all! AT THIS DISTANCE, THE SHELLS OF THE 350MM HEAVY ARTILLERY ALMOST PIERCED THROUGH THAT! The Frais-France is no stronger than an armored cruiser!

Maybe it was too good luck, maybe it was too close, but in the first and second rounds of attacks, 6 shells actually slapped on the slender hull of the France! The entire battleship was like a volcano that suddenly erupted, and countless fires and gunpowder smoke erupted from the battleship! Constantly shining points of light enveloped the entire battleship, and in the unconscious situation, the battleship had been beaten half to death! 、

The first shell was quite deadly! A 350mm shell was easily fired from the rear back plate of the No. 1 turret of the Française! However, more than 200 mm of armor naturally could not stop the armor-piercing shells that came almost horizontally. After tearing off half of the steel plate as a whole, the violent explosion detonated the ammunition stored in the rear of the turret, and the explosion of several tons of shells and propellants caused hundreds of tons of turrets to detach directly from the gun mount, and some people even saw something similar to a half-cut cannon tail being blown into the air more than ten meters into the air!

The flames spread like a tide of fire quickly spread out in the front of the hull, and the violent explosion solved even the second turret that was very close, and there were continuous violent explosions in the dressing room and ammunition delivery channel under the turret, and in the bursts of explosions, the Fraiss-de-France was trembling, and it seemed that even the keel was overwhelmed with a twisting sound. At this moment, the French were completely confused.

And soon, two more shells opened two large holes in the side chord of the Française! One of the shells went straight into the engine room. Two Parsons steam turbines were blown to pieces in an instant, and a bright yellow pillar of fire rose behind the middle of the hull, like an earthquake, and the deck was torn apart and thrown into the sky. The France, which directly lost half of its power, suddenly slowed down and became a dead fish!

However, the Prinz Eugen naturally will not give up on this goal! In less than 3 minutes, the two turrets in the rear of the Frade-France were also shot one after another, and the armor-piercing shells easily tore through the armor belt, which was not too thick, and then turned it into a hell of fire and blood. And the seventh hit directly blew up the steering engine room in the stern of the hull, and the battleship finally lost its maneuverability.
