Chapter 1181: All Sink (Ask for a Monthly Pass)
"Well done, be more accurate, and take out the rest of the Russians!" Marshal Lütjans looked excited.
Although he was now the Marshal of the Imperial Navy, the commander of the Home Fleet. But he also grew up in the era of big ships and big guns. He was undoubtedly very excited to be able to let these obsolete battleships play their role once again in the war.
"The Russians want to close the distance, it's just a dream. If this continues, perhaps before dawn, we can sink all four of their capital ships, and leave none of them for the carrier-based aircraft force. "Chief of Staff Karl? Lieutenant General Witzel said.
"Haha, in that case, the carrier-based aircraft unit will definitely scold the capital ship unit for eating alone!" Marshal Lütjans laughed.
In this night battle, the German fleet had already gained the upper hand. Next, it is only necessary to watch little by little as the Russian fleet is wiped out. In this way, they will be able to win this naval battle.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! The roar of the battleship's main guns was incessant, and although it was very noisy, it seemed to the ears of the officers and men of the German Navy as if it were the most beautiful music.
"Comrade Commander, if we continue like this, I am afraid that we will be sunk by the Germans in a short time, can we think of other ways?" The Chief of Staff, Colonel-General Viktorov, asked.
Admiral Isakov shook his head: "Now I have no other way but to continue like this." ”
"Boom!"
A violent explosion sounded, the battleship "Burussia" shook violently, and a 410-mm shell hit the main turret of the battleship "Burussia". Although the main turret armor of the battleship 'Burussia' was 350 mm thick, it still could not withstand this shell. The battleship "Caesar" of the German fleet was originally equipped with a 410 mm main gun of 50 times the caliber with extremely penetrating ability. In addition, when Germany sold warships to Burussia, it had the intention of cheating them. Therefore, there seems to be no problem with the armor of these 'Burussia-class' battleships. But it's just a spectacle. If you get hit, it's easy to break through. This undoubtedly shows that from the very beginning, Germany has been calculating Russia. In other words, the German Emperor Qin Tian did not have a good heart from the beginning, and not only deceived the Burussian-Russian government of a large amount of mineral resources and agricultural products with four 'Burussia-class' battleships, but also affected other developments in Burussia. Now, it is even easier to destroy these 'Burussia-class' battleships.
Fortunately, there were no shells or propellants in the No. 1 main turret of the battleship 'Bu Russia'. Otherwise, the damage caused by this shell alone would have been enough to make the 'Bu Russia' pay an extremely heavy price.
"What's going on?" Admiral Isakov got up from the deck in disarray.
"Comrade Commander, the No. 1 main turret was destroyed by the Germans!"
"Bastard!" Admiral Isakov couldn't help but curse. The loss of a main turret is equivalent to directly reducing the combat effectiveness of the battleship 'Bu Russia' by a third!
It's just that Admiral Isakov actually knew that under this tactic of the German fleet, the four battleships of the Russian fleet could not pose any threat to the German fleet at all. The main guns of these battleships, whether they were destroyed or not, do not make much sense.
In the ensuing battle, within twenty minutes, the battleship 'Bu Russia' was hit 12 times in a row. The 12 large-caliber naval artillery shells almost blew up the front half of the hull of the battleship Burussia.
There were holes everywhere, and icy water poured into the ship's hull.
Soon, the battleship 'Burussia' sank into the icy Barents Sea with its bow facing down and its bow facing upwards.
However, before the sinking of the battleship "Burussia", Admiral Isakov and others had already moved to the battleship "Joseph" behind, and it was still in a safe state for the time being.
Of the four 'Burussia-class' battleships of the Russian Navy, the first ship was named 'Burussia', and the next three were 'Moscow', 'Ulyanov' and 'Joseph'.
After the sinking of the battleship Burussia, the four Caesar-class battleships of the German fleet concentrated all their firepower on the battleship Moskva.
Under the concentrated fire of the four 'Caesar-class' battleships of the German Navy, the 'Moskva' battleship was not too lucky, and soon followed in the footsteps of the 'Burussia' battleship and was sunk by the German fleet.
After the sinking of the battleship "Moskva", it was immediately the turn of "Ulyanov". This battleship, which has been named after the great revolutionary mentor of Burussia, still cannot escape the fate of being sunk.
When the battleship 'Ulyanov' was hit one after another, and the flames were soaring, Admiral Isakov and others, who were hiding on the battleship 'Joseph', had ugly faces. They all knew that after the sinking of the 'Ulyanov', it would be their turn. This means that they have this last finite amount of time left in their lives.
"Comrade Commander, are we still going to evacuate the 'Joseph'?" Admiral Orlov asked.
Admiral Isakov smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Where else can you evacuate?" It's still more than an hour before it gets dark. After dawn, the carrier-based aircraft of the Germans will take off. When the time comes, all our ships will be sunk! ”
After hearing this, Admiral Orlov immediately said no more. What he said Admiral-General Isakov was true. This time they couldn't escape.
When the battleship Ulyanov was sunk by the Germans, unexpectedly, four German battleships of the 'Caesar-class' began to rain shells on the battleship Joseph.
Heavy shells smashed into the battleship 'Joseph'.
Within half an hour, the battleship 'Joseph' was sunk. And Admiral Isakov and others also sank into the sea with the battleship.
Although they fought very well in this battle, they did not do anything other than let the German fleet waste some shells. However, they fought to the end.
After the sinking of the four 'Burussia-class' battleships, the small and medium-sized warships of the other Russian fleets fled one after another.
However, after dawn, the German Navy's aircraft carriers "Archer" and "Capricorn" released a large number of carrier-based aircraft to pursue these Russian warships, sinking most of the Russian warships, and only a very small number of Russian warships escaped.
