Chapter 235: Confrontation (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

"Whew! Shout! Shout! ”

Heavy shells, under the action of huge kinetic energy, flew to the target more than ten kilometers away. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The body of the INFO shell rubs violently against the air, resulting in a sharp whistling sound.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The shell smashed into the sea, exploded, and splashed a column of water more than ten meters high.

Rear Admiral Carroll, the commander of the battleship 'King George V', watched coldly as the German Navy's battlecruisers were the first to start firing, but he was not moved at all.

Because of the distance, the German Navy's shooting was not very effective, and the nearest impact point was three or four hundred meters away, and seeing this scene, a sneering smile appeared on Rear Admiral Carroll's face.

"Stupid Germans, is that all they are capable of? I really don't know how the battlecruiser 'Lion' was sunk by them at that time. Perhaps, it was the guys from the battlecruiser Lion who were not so lucky. Let's hope this time, God will be on our side. Major General Carol thought secretly.

In naval warfare, luck is very important. If you're lucky, even if you're at a disadvantage, you might have a chance to turn defeat into victory.

The German Navy's broken fleet, after the first round of test firings, did not immediately carry out the second round of test firings, but began to make adjustments. The seaplane in charge of the school building was overhead of the British fleet and reported the observed impact points to its own fleet. The gun commanders of their own fleet will adjust the firing direction according to the impact point, so that they can achieve better shelling results in the next round of shelling.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

It was a full three minutes before the German naval fleet carried out a second round of shelling. This round of shelling, although still failed to get a hit. However, the point of impact is getting closer.

The German Navy then fired several more rounds, and although it still failed to get a hit, the nearest point of impact was less than a hundred meters away from the British Navy's warship. This is already a dangerous distance. Maybe with a little more luck, you'll be able to get a hit.

The smile on Major General Carroll's face had also disappeared cleanly, and he also felt that something was wrong.

"Damn, are the Germans so good at technology? It's only been a few rounds of test firing, and it actually has such an effect, even if the Royal Navy compares with them, it definitely doesn't have any advantage! Major General Carroll exclaimed in his heart.

"General, we have something above our heads. As if it were a German plane. An officer yelled.

Major General Carroll rushed straight out of the command tower and looked at the sky with a telescope. Sure enough, in the sky, there were two aircraft of the German Navy. They were more than a thousand meters from the sea. Plus the energy of the British Navy, which was completely focused on naval battles, so they were not found.

"Damn! No wonder the Germans were shelling more and more accurately, it turned out that two more planes were providing them with artillery guidance. The Germans were too despicable to fight the Royal Navy in this way, and they simply did not have the courage to fight us. Major General Carroll was a little angry. However, there is no way to do it at all. The battleships of the British Navy were not equipped with weapons for anti-aircraft shooting, and there was no other way than to wave a few fists and curse.

"General, what should we do now? If this stance continues, the Germans will probably get their hits soon. An officer said with some concern.

Major General Carroll frowned, and now the distance between the two sides is about 12,000 kilometers. Originally, he also wanted to shorten the distance to 10,000 meters, which would be more conducive to the Royal Navy's gunnery. However, now it seems that it is impossible to wait. I'm afraid that before they can close the distance to 10,000 meters, their battleship will be hit. When the time comes, the Germans will not let them close the distance as they wish. After all, the battlecruisers of the German Navy were faster, and the battleships of the British Navy wanted to forcibly shorten the distance between the two sides, which was almost impossible.

"Order the ships, prepare to fire! I believe that the quality of the Royal Navy, far greater than that of the Germans, is definitely not something that they can make up for with two little toy-like planes. Major General Carol ordered.

"Yes, General." The communications officer immediately conveyed Rear Admiral Carroll's order to the ships.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The battleship "King George V" was the first to start firing, and the five twin 45-caliber 343 mm main guns let out an earth-shattering roar. Heavy shells roared and smashed into the battleships of the German Navy.

Although, the battleships of the British Navy also failed to hit in this round of shooting. However, their point of impact, was much closer to the German fleet. It can be seen that in this era, the quality of the Royal Navy is definitely not covered.

The other three battleships of the British Navy soon joined in the firing.

The battle lines of the two sides, separated by a distance of more than 10 kilometers, launched fierce fire.

Although both sides were only testing fire, the artillery fire was still very fierce. On the surface of the sea, the cannon rumbled, as if it were thunder. Shells exploded in the sea, splashing high columns of water as if a storm were raging.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The battlecruiser "Blucher" scored the first hit during the test launch at 10:24 a.m. A 305-mm shell hit the side of the battleship 'Daring' of the British Navy. Although, the side armor of the battleship 'Daring' was up to 305 mm thick. But in the face of the shells fired by the 305-mm main gun of 50 times the caliber, it was still not able to resist.

The shell pierced the side armor of the battleship 'Daring', blowing a large hole, and at the same time blowing off a secondary gun. But alas, the place where it was shot through was above the waterline of the battleship 'Daring'. If this shell had hit below the waterline, this blow alone would have been enough to cost the battleship 'Daring' dearly. Even if it won't sink, it will be hit hard, and it will even affect the play of combat effectiveness.

But even this made the officers and men of the German Navy cheer.

The captain of the battlecruiser "Blucher" gave the order directly to concentrate fire. Three triple 50-caliber 305-mm guns began to fire at maximum rate of fire.
