The destroyer dropped a torpedo on the German cruiser, and the Yu-1 torpedo was activated after falling into the water, like a swordfish, rushing towards the German cruiser, and the 130mm guns on the ship also fired at the Germans, not hoping to sink them, as long as they interfered with them.

The destroyers moved around the cruiser Kazesao, and every once in a while they dropped a string of torpedoes to attack the German cruisers.

These two cruisers are the German Admiral Hipper-class cruisers, and the name is probably unknown to everyone, but its first ship is probably familiar to everyone, which is the heavy cruiser Prince Eugen. It was Germany that annexed Austria at that time, and in order to emphasize the historical relationship between Germany and Austria, the Nazi government decided to choose an Austrian general to name the heavy cruiser that would be launched that year.

Soon after Eugen was launched, Mao Xiong approached him and proposed to buy Eugen's plan, but Germany did not agree, otherwise it would not be called Eugen now, but Petropavlovsk heavy cruiser.

Among these two cruisers, there was no Eugen, but two Admirals Hipper and Blucher, and as for the Prince Eugen, it is now broken and repaired in Hong Kong, and it is already lucky that it did not sink after eating several British bombs.

Admiral-Hippel-class heavy cruisers, with four twin 203mm main guns, compared with the Sverdlov-class cruisers, the main guns are 152mm, but it has a total of 12 guns, four triple, 4 more than the Admiral Hippel class, in addition to six twin 100mm high-level guns and two five-mounted torpedo tubes, although the single fire is not as good as the German Admiral Hipper, but when hit together, it is not comparable to the Admiral Hippel class, The Sverdlov class was built by the woolly bear family in the 60s, with a gap of almost 30 years, and the comprehensive performance in all aspects is better than that of the Admiral Hippel class.

The ship of the Sverdlov class has the number X-018, the 18th cruiser, referred to as 18X (ahem, don't think crookedly).

A round of salvo, 12 guns take turns to fire, because its caliber is 152mm, the use of more than two meters long one-piece bullets, loading to an average of 15 seconds a round, want to compare the 203mm gun reloading, it takes 4~5 minutes to open a shot, it takes more than two minutes to load, and it takes about two minutes to aim, after all, it has to put the barrel flat to reload every time it fires, and then re-aim.

So the German cruiser fired a cannon, 18x all opened a good handsome wheel, 12 guns kept taking turns to cover the German fire, non-stop, and the 100mm gun rate of fire was almost against the sky, reaching 15~18 rounds per minute, and it was 12 guns, just this one ship, it was about to suppress the fire of the two German ships.

On the two cruisers of the Admiral Hipper class, the Germans were miserable, they were heavy cruisers with relatively thick armor, and the damage from 152mm shells was not too high, but they couldn't help their fast rate of fire, and from time to time shells fell on the hull. However, because the caliber was relatively small, the damage to the German cruisers was limited, so a high-explosive grenade was used, yes, a high-explosive grenade.

The use of high-explosive grenades was mainly to cause damage to their deck, destroy the deck guns, kill and injure the crew, and it was easy to catch fire, and after a while, the flammable materials on the decks of the two cruisers were ignited by the explosion, igniting a raging fire, and the crew of the fire-extinguishing ship hurriedly took out the water hose and began to extinguish the fire, resulting in a lot of German artillery efficiency.

"Boom!"

When the Germans were extinguishing the fire, a row of torpedoes quietly swam close to the Blucher, 4 torpedoes, hit two, and sent them directly to the bottom of the sea, this is the West Europa Basin, it is impossible to salvage.

Seeing this, the Admiral Hipper, which was next to her, turned around and ran, and the whole battleship was blazing like a moving furnace. Fortunately, Germany's damage management was not bad, and the fire was extinguished as soon as possible, so that the fire did not continue to spread.

Seeing the Admiral Hipper leave, they did not pursue it and let it go, because sonar detected that three submarines were moving towards it one after another.

"What about the casualties?" 18x, as the flagship, sent out inquiries to four more battleships.

"There are no losses." All four ships responded that they were moving relatively fast, and the threat of 130mm guns was not too big, not as big as 18x, so the Germans had been fighting with 18x. In this small naval battle, the only damage is 18x, two 203mm shells were hit, and there are two more holes in the hull, which are small and broken, and the impact on the hull is not too great, but you can't run too fast, you can run 25 knots at the earliest, don't think about it if you want to run to more than 30 knots before, wait until you get to the UK, repair it.

The unknown submarine slowly approached this side, and at this time it was time for the anti-submarine ship and the super Kraken to be dispatched, this 18x, the tail was lengthened a little, and it was changed to a lower one, used to park a super Kraken, otherwise the original deck was not long enough, and the fourth turret was a little low, and the deck did not change to the bottom, which would block the muzzle, but generally during the battle, the Super Kraken would leave the ship, and observe the enemy ship by the way.

The super kraken with a depth charge flew to the top of a submarine in a hurry, and the submarine under the water, unaware that there was a plane overhead, was still driving slowly.

On the super kraken, two round depth charges fell off, snorted twice, fell into the sea, fell towards the submarine, the water pressure of the bomb had already been adjusted, and when it descended to the left and right of the submarine, it exploded, directly blowing up the shell of the submarine, and a large amount of seawater poured into the submarine, and the sailors in the submarine just felt that the submarine was suddenly bursting, the alarm sounded one after another, and after a while, the whole submarine became a new home for fish and shrimp on the bottom of the sea.

At sea, the pilot in the Super Kraken saw the water surface tumbling, all kinds of garbage and oil surging up, and the reaction red dot displayed on the screen continued to sink until it disappeared, which meant that the submarine was destroyed, and the crew in the submarine must have died, needless to say.

The other two submarines did not get close, I don't know if they noticed it or for some reason, they were more than ten nautical miles away, looking at this side with the old high periscope, so the old high periscope, it is difficult not to find it, but if they don't come, then there is no need to hit them, if it is not a German submarine, it will be a little unbearable if it is accidentally injured.

Although we don't want to beat them, we must at least warn them not to get closer, and send a telegram directly to them to keep them away, otherwise they will be beaten. (To be continued.) )
