Chapter 1056: The End of the Strong Crossbow 1
Anti-Piracy Chapter ~~~! The old time has changed!
And the reasons for the Japanese are even more sufficient, it has to be said that the Japanese Navy is still very detailed, they themselves studied every battle of the German Navy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoIn particular, the battle between Su Xiong's fleet and Thomas's fleet is the focus of attention. They discovered that the fundamental reason why Suxiong's fleet had a certain advantage in the battle was that it was able to penetrate the queen's armor. AND IF IT IS ASSUMED THAT THE QUEEN CAN BLOCK THE GERMAN 350MM NAVAL GUNS, THEN IF THE AMOUNT OF PROJECTION IS SIMPLY SPELLED, THE QUEEN SHOULD BE ABOUT THE SAME AS THE HELGELAN-CLASS BATTLESHIPS, THE FORMER HAS A LARGE CALIBER AND A LARGE WEIGHT PER SHOT, AND THE LATTER HAS A HIGH RATE OF FIRE, BUT THE SHELLS ARE LIGHT.
AND AFTER A SERIES OF COMPARISONS, THE JAPANESE DECIDED THAT THEIR BATTLESHIPS HAD A LOT OF BLOOD (LARGE TONNAGE) AND GOOD ENOUGH ARMOR DEFENSE (330MM INCLINED 18-DEGREE ARMOR BELT YOU CAN TRUST!). ), the caliber of the artillery is an inch larger, and the number is 2 more! It's only NB when you're close, and the Japanese have similar ideas to Negovan, so if you get closer, you can penetrate it.......
The two battleships rushed forward without hesitation like red-eyed beasts, and then launched a terrifying battle! When both sides pulled 13,500 meters, both battleships were covered by the flames when they opened fire and the water column created when the opponent's shells fell into the water! Like an ancient titan giant, he desperately wields the lightning and sword in his hand to strike his opponent!
A few minutes later, two huge fireballs rose from the huge hull of the Fuso, one of which landed on the stern of the battleship, smashing the seaplane facilities behind the main gun group into pieces, while the other shell hit the bottom of the No. 2 chimney, with a loud bang, half of the flue was blown to pieces, although there was honeycomb armor to prevent large pieces of debris from entering the lower power compartment, but still made the middle of the hull become thick smoke billowing .......
And the Fuso did not let the opponent be complacent for too long, two 15-inch shells hit the United Forces again, and one shell directly hit the light protection zone of the bow of the battleship, and the size and impact of the 15-inch shell were really terrifying, and directly tore a hole more than 2 meters long in the part slightly above the waterline of the bow! And the rear compartment was blown to pieces, and another shell hit the armor belt in the middle of the hull, although it still did not penetrate, but the violent impact caused part of the armor back plate to shatter, and a slender crack appeared between the two pieces of armor!
The continuous shelling finally cleared up the spirits of the two sides to kill some of the tops, and in this ideal combat situation, the fist-to-knife bloody fight made each other feel a trace of terror, and in less than 10 minutes after the solution, the United Forces hit the opponent 6 times! And the Fuso also returned the opponent 4 times! From time to time, clumps of flames exploded on the hull. Violent explosions and the shattering of the bridge were incessant. When the secondary guns of both sides also began to fight, the flames and smoke quickly spread across the deck like demonic blood!
It takes 3 minutes to fight boxing, with a 1-minute break in between, so that the explosive hit in a short period of time makes both sides feel a little unbearable, and after a while, the United Force, which has little blood and less blood, took the initiative to release smoke and open the distance at the same time, and the Fuso also did not chase closely, and also adjusted the speed and course appropriately.
"The bow of the ship was hit twice, the secondary armor belt was pierced twice, more than 700 tons of water entered, the battleship had a slight head tilt, a flue was hit, and exhaust gases poured into a boiler compartment, and it may take some time to troubleshoot. The ship's fire could be quickly contained, but one of the barrels of turret 3 was blown off, and the servo of the other was also a problem. However, it should be able to be fixed soon. Jordi reported to Negovan.
"Looks like we've got a strong opponent this time." The lieutenant general touched his chin. "Hold on, I'm sure the Count of Spee will come here before the French!" Ten minutes later, under the command of the lieutenant general, the United Forces attacked again!
The situation of the battleship Fuso on the other side was also not very good, in Kato Dingyoshi's opinion, this time the battle was much more difficult than God against Nevada, the gun mount of the third turret was hit by a 350MM shell, although it did not penetrate, but it temporarily stuck the turret, and a shot was also knocked near the drive shaft at the rear of the hull, and the outer armor was penetrated, although in the end the shell was blocked by the dome armor, but it still seemed to have some impact on the navigation of the battleship. At the same time, it also brought at least 300 tons of influent water. A few shells that hit the armor belt of the hull were nothing, at most there was a crack. After hastily extinguishing the fire, the Fuso rushed forward again without hesitation! Lao Tzu is a 32,000-ton battleship! What are you afraid of! Kato Dingji said in his heart.
The two sides took a break, rolled up their sleeves and continued to work! And this time, when the two warships are entangled again, the situation is a little different!
"The other party's defense seems to be beyond our imagination!" When he saw once again a cannonball smashed into the side line of the Fuso and turned into a large firework, Negovan couldn't help but drop a cold sweat on his head, this time, the Austro-Hungarian lieutenant general's choice was even more extreme! At one point, the two sides were close to 12 kilometers! This distance is already a face-to-face hand-to-hand fight for the current battleship!
The United Forces' shelling was still precise and swift, as terrifying as a ferocious cheetah! In this hand-to-hand combat, the remaining 6 guns on the United Force fired an ultra-high rate of fire every 25 seconds! It's already close to the theoretical rate of fire of naval guns! You must know that shooting in real combat needs to be adjusted and aimed, unlike when determining the theoretical rate of fire, you only need to complete a cycle! Shells rained down on the deck of the Fuso, and even the United Forces put 3 shells in the face of the Fuso in a salvo!
Almost at the same time, three huge fireballs rose from the hull of the Fuso, one of the shells directly smashed the No. 2 chimney into pieces, and the other shell entered from the upper gun gallery of the Fuso, and a 6-inch gun exploded directly into the air more than ten meters away, and at the same time, a large number of shrapnel penetrated the compartment of the other gun position, and beat more than a dozen gunners inside into a piece of pulp! And then a shell smashed into the bow part of the Fuso, accompanied by the sound of metal tearing and explosion, the fragile armor belt was directly torn open a hole of more than ten square meters! This round of shooting immediately scarred the Fuso!
But the Fuso, which dominates the Far East and violently beats the Americans, is not easy to match, if the attack of the United Forces is like a heavy sword, then the attack of the Fuso is like a heavy hammer! Although the number of hits is not as good as the opponent, but every hammer is deadly!
