Chapter 285
readx; I didn't expect it, the two battleships were named after the famous big names, and the strange thing is that the two ships of King Arthur and Hindenburg, who did not have a group of attached ships, actually played artillery battles at sea, and you and I threw piles of shells according to each other's heads, wishing that the other party would be sunk at once. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, more than ten kilometers away from the two ships, a behemoth for most submarines in the world, this 10,000-ton submarine with a long droplet-shaped shape, is quietly sneaking in a place with a depth of 150 meters and slowly advancing at a speed of 2 knots, it is using a specially treated periscope that can resist the pressure of the sea to observe the two warships on the sea surface can no longer be hilarious.
"Mukhin, are the British and German warships fighting like this?" In the command cabin of the submarine enclosure, a girl in a navy sailor's uniform pulled another girl in the same costume in the corridor of the submarine and whispered.
"Ha, Purple Moon. The two goods above our heads did not have the slightest consciousness of super-battleships, and they actually played the decisive battle at sea in groups, and actually ran out to play knight heads-up, I have to say whether the brains of these Westerners are funny. The girl named Mu Xin replied dismissively.
"Na, why didn't the Germans sink the British King Arthur class all at once, why did they spend so much effort with their opponents." Ziyue asked her friend puzzled.
"Well, that's probably the case, first of all, it's all my guess. I think the Germans estimated that the Germans, who had not yet fully mastered this sea monster called the Hindenburg class, were hastily called by their Führer and Admiralty to destroy the vital forces of the British Navy's main fleet on the sea, because of their unfamiliarity with this new ship and without a large number of ships and personnel; As a result, I didn't expect to encounter the King Arthur-class super battleship that was also a novice, and both sides were due to the tension of the war, which eventually led to these battleships and crews that had not been effectively coordinated to rush to the front line of naval warfare. ”
"Secondly, the Germans probably did not expect that the British would send this King Arthur-class lead ship so quickly to maintain the blood transfusion lifeline of their British Empire at sea; Probably, the German Navy was very dissatisfied with the Admiralty's hasty decision to let the cutting-edge super battleships look for fighters to practice alone, because there was no assistance from other ships... Bulky battleships will also be live targets for bombers and torpedo machines. ”
"In addition, and in the last thing I want to say, the Germans clearly overestimated the British, who were also novices, and they did not expect that their opponents were half-hearted two-knives with their own. Due to the large size and tonnage of the German battleship, the main guns were all 800 millimeters, and the crew had not yet mastered the temperament of this battleship. On the other hand, the British, who were the enemy, were all called from other ships, and the King Arthur class was obviously an enlarged version of the Lion-class battleship, which was very different from the original Lion-class on some issues, especially the turret itself used its own 510 mm triple system, which made the British who were accustomed to triple loading of large-caliber guns below 400 mm on the battleship very unsuitable; Moreover, due to the immaturity of the automatic loading device, after each salvo of the ship's main guns, the loading speed was not as fast as that of the strict Germans on the opposite side; Therefore, even if the aim is accurate, its subsequent reloading will make its eggs hurt for a long time. "Mu Xin, let's analyze it.
"Oh, that's right." Ziyue tilted her head and thought for a long time to come to this conclusion.
"Yes, yes. Therefore, no matter how powerful these two super battleships are, they are not as powerful as our own super battleships. Mu Xin said triumphantly with his head held high with his hands on his chest.

On the sea, the British battleships continued some of the problems of the British, the armor was not as thick as the old-fashioned Germans, you see that they were wiped by a few 800 mm shells, and then the armor in some parts was immediately damaged, and the frightened British hurriedly maneuvered the battleship away from the limited range of the main guns, that is, to pull the distance to the maximum range. However, they seem to have forgotten that the German super-battleship is a super-battleship with a million-ton displacement of more than 750 meters with 800-mm cannons, and the 7 twin 14-gun cannons are firing one after another, and 14 800-mm shells with distinct trajectories are coming into the air.
The scrambled British began to evade, rushing left and right in the center of the column of water generated by the falling cannonballs, constantly twisting their bodies to avoid the fate of being hit.
"Boom!" Coincidentally, an 800 mm cannonball just happened to blow up the seaplane carried on the stern of the King Arthur-class super battleship along with the stern deck, this cannonball that fell on the stern side of the ship was a high-explosive shell, and the powerful shock wave after the explosion effortlessly tore the seaplane into messy pieces and then fell into the sea, along with the brittle armor on the stern was lifted and leaked out of the propeller bearing structure and some devices installed inside, this badly injured armor part emitted billowing white smoke, Crazy driving on the vast expanse of the sea.
Fortunately, the fourth turret of this battleship was not penetrated in any way, so that the seaplane and crane and other mechanical devices on the stern of the ship were lost, and if it were not for some wreckage floating on the sea that could still be distinguished as aircraft, it is estimated that no one would believe that there were one or two aircraft on the stern of this battleship a few minutes ago.
However, there is no problem with the turret, but the people inside have suffered, although the shock wave generated by the 800 mm shell did not break through the armor layer of the turret, but it has caused a lot of damage to the operators inside, and many people have lost consciousness and reaction in the shell just now, and their ears are full of this roar; There are also many people whose eyes, noses, ears, and corners of the mouth are bleeding, and their heads are buzzing. Even if someone yells in their ears, they can't hear what the other person is saying.
The huge shock wave from the rest of the shells that landed very close to King Arthur's battleship also caused the battleship to be lifted out of the water by a small dozen centimeters, which made the people on the battleship a little panicked, because they had just heard the metallic wail of the battleship's keel, and the British, who were glad that they had escaped, immediately returned the color; A salvo of 12 510-mm shells fell directly through the arc of the air, just hitting a turret numbered No. 6 in the Hindenburg-class class that was chasing over, only to see the shells fall on the top of the turret and burst into countless flames and smoke, and the fragments of the shells produced by some shells hitting the metal armor were flying everywhere, and some unimportant things on the ship were swept into the sea by these shrapnel.
The German gunners, who were hiding under the thick armor of the No. 6 turret, felt only a small bump and a slight jolt for a while, and did not have the same problems as the British battleships, and then continued to activate the automatic loading machine to load the main gun with shells and cartridges.
"Wow, why isn't it sinking, how long will it take?" Mu Xin, who was operating the periscope to watch the battle on the sea, was a little upset about the delay in winning or losing on the sea.
"Ah, Mu Xin, be patient." Ziyue was holding the record book in her hand to record something, and when she heard Mu Xin's words, she stopped what she was doing and said.
"Boom!" The stern of the ship is facing the King Arthur class of the Hindenburg class, and it is driving the ship's steam turbine at a great speed, as if it is crazy to get away from the monster that is gradually approaching Hindenburg. As soon as it soared out of a speed of 27 knots, it was smashed by the 14 shells of the Hindenburg that caught up, and the whole ship was forced to suffer all the shells, what secondary guns, anti-aircraft guns and the like, and small things such as lifeboats fell into the sea, although the opponent used light explosive shells and did not replace them with heavy explosive shells, the damage was still not small. Some parts of the ship began to burst into flames, but the battleship was still frantic with compression boilers, steam turbines screaming wildly, and the speed reached 36 knots, and it was only after floating far enough that the rest of the Arthur-class battleship recovered from their vertigo, and the damage management team immediately began to put out the fire and deal with the damage.
"Wow, that's great, the British weren't so lucky this time." Mu Xin cried out happily when he saw this scene in the periscope.
"What's the matter, Mu Xin, what did you just say." Ziyue, who had finished her work and took a break for a while, asked.
