Chapter 449: The Harvest of Adventure

"The 'Aginkul' was sunk so easily, how can this battle continue?" David? Lieutenant General Betty muttered to herself. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe Royal Navy had fewer warships, and now they have lost one, which undoubtedly puts them at a further disadvantage in the next battle.

"The battleship 'Agincourt' was originally a deformed battleship. It was designed to meet the needs of those Brazilians. In order to install so many turrets on the hull with a displacement of more than 20,000 tons, its armor was extremely weakened. The three main turrets in the stern of the ship are next to each other. This caused it to be destroyed after being hit. "John? Admiral Jericho said with a blank face.

Although, the battleship 'Agincourt' was sunk, leaving them with heavy losses. However, it was as if he had expected such a moment. Originally, the battleship 'Agincourt' was nothing more than a foreign trade type warship. If it weren't for the last resort, they wouldn't have let him serve in the Royal Navy at all. It's just that the capital ship suffered heavy losses and was forced by the Germans to have no choice, so they rushed the ducks to the shelves and used the battleship 'Agincourt' to fill the number. As a result, as soon as it entered the battlefield, the performance of the battleship 'Agincourt' was really rubbish, and it was easily sunk. As a result, the British Navy lost not only one capital ship, but also hundreds of elite naval officers and men.

"Your Excellency, the 'Agincourt' has been sunk, which will put us at an even greater disadvantage on the battle line!" David? Lieutenant General Betty said.

John? Admiral Jericho nodded, but he didn't have anything to do about it!

"Let the ships continue to fight! Find a way to sink as many German ships as you can in the rest of the battle. That's the only thing we can do. "John? Admiral Jericho said.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander." David? Lieutenant General Betty said helplessly.

On the other side, the German Navy was already cheering victory. Not long after the start of the war, a result was achieved, which was undoubtedly a great encouragement to the German Navy.

"Good, well done. ' All the officers and men of the Regent of Louitpold' were in good shape. I will ask Your Excellency the Marshal for their credit! "Reinhardt? Admiral Scheer had a smile on his face.

Although, he is full of confidence in this war. However, there was still some nervousness in his heart. It was only at this moment, when he saw the battleships of the German Navy sinking the British warships, that he completely put his heart back into his stomach.

"Send a telegram to the 'Regent of Louitpold' and ask them to cooperate with the 'Helgoland' and take out the British battleship 'Ireland'." Reinhart? Admiral Scheer ordered.

The reason why he chose the battleship 'Ireland' as the next target of attack was not because of anything else, but because the battleship 'Ireland' was also a foreign trade type warship. The battleship was originally built by the British for the Ottoman Turkish Empire. However, because the Royal Navy lost the naval battle, it was seized by the British and joined the Royal Navy battle sequence.

Therefore, the battleship 'Ireland', like other foreign trade battleships, was equipped with as much firepower as possible in terms of limited displacement, which made the battleship's defense very poor. The battleship 'Ireland' was armed with five twin 343 mm guns and had a full load displacement of only 25,000 tons. In terms of defense, the waterline armor is 305 mm at its thickest point, and the other turrets and conning towers are only 280 mm. Such a defense is undoubtedly too weak.

After the battleship 'Regent Louitbolt' joined the firing of the battleship 'Ireland', the battleship was immediately placed in a flanking attack. Cannonballs fired from the battleships "Regent Louitpold" and "Helgoland" continued to explode into the sky around the battleship "Ireland".

The real striking battle in this naval battle was undoubtedly the adventurous action of the battleship Saxony. By the time the battleship "Regent Louitpold" had taken out the "Agincourt", the battleship "Saxony" had successfully narrowed the distance to 10,000 meters. At this distance, it can almost be regarded as a cannon directly on the stomach of the battleship 'Ramilis'.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The three triple 380-mm guns on the battleship 'Saxony' let out an earth-shattering roar. Nine shells weighing more than a ton smashed into the battleship 'Ramillis'.

This round of volleys, did not get hit. However, this did not prevent the battleship 'Saxony' from exporting fire to the battleship 'Ramillis' at a rate of fire of one salvo per minute.

Although, at this time, the battleships "Resolve" and "Sovereign" of the British Navy were also firing at the battleship "Saxony" in an attempt to sink the "Saxony" and save the "Ramillis". It's just that they have never been able to succeed.

As for the counterattack of the battleship 'Ramillis', it was simply ignored. After the sighting and ranging equipment were destroyed, the battleship Ramillis could not hit the battleship Saxony even at a distance of 10,000 meters. Therefore, from beginning to end, they have become the role of playing soy sauce.

The adventure of the battleship "Saxony" paid off handsomely after all. After they narrowed the combat distance to 10,000 meters, the third round of salvo was a hit. A 380 mm shell smashed the port side of the battleship Ramillis, blowing off two secondary guns and igniting a fire.

Immediately after, the salvo of the fifth round once again hit the target. In this volley, a 380-mm shell hit the bow of the battleship Ramillis. In addition, a piece of shrapnel stuck in the rotating device of the No. 2 main turret of the battleship 'Ramillis', causing it to lose its ability to steer. In such a situation, it is equivalent to losing combat effectiveness.

Subsequently, the battleship "Saxony" also made a hit, and a 380-mm shell directly blew off the only chimney of the battleship "Ramillis". The collapsed chimney crushed the superstructure, and at the same time smashed heavily into the No. 3 main turret in the stern, making it impossible for the main turret to continue firing.

Although the battleship 'Ramillis' has not yet been sunk, there is no doubt that it has been heavily damaged, and it seems that it is only a matter of time before it is sunk.
