Chapter 837 Fighting 2

The Japanese Navy learned from the British Navy and admired the Royal Navy, but no matter what, the glorious achievements of the Royal Navy are history. Since the end of the sail era, the Royal Navy has almost no new achievements, and now, as The Japanese, the country with the most glorious achievements in steam-iron-armored battleships in the world, are also a little proud. After all, so far, the Japanese have defeated the Beiyang Fleet, the American Fleet and the Russian Fleet.

But now, the British fleet actually got a tie despite deliberate calculation and unintentional calculations, and the caliber of the artillery was one inch higher than the opponent's. This caused the Japanese to lower their evaluation of the British by half a notch. According to this Japanese officer's inner thoughts, when I was on the German-made Asama armored cruiser, I had an advantage over the American battleships. I don't know how much higher than you! "The German battleships have better defense. This is their consistent philosophy. It seems difficult for the British artillery shells to destroy their core cabins. Until now, the firepower of the two German battleships has been maintained very well, but the British But the situation is very bad. Looking at the Balem behind, its No. 3 turret seems to have not fired for a long time, and the No. 4 turret has become a torch." A young officer with only three fingers on one hand pointed out next to him. Said to Balem in the distance. "So, what you are saying is that the British may lose?" Kantaro Suzuki said, looking at the officer next to him who was nicknamed "Eight Cents" by his colleagues. "I think this is the case. It is difficult for British artillery to destroy German warships, but German warships easily penetrated the British turret. If I remember correctly, the main turret of the Queen Elizabeth-class battleship The main armor belt defense on the front and sides is the same, maybe a well-placed hit can make the queen pay the price in blood." Yamamoto Isoroku said on the side. (As for why Yamamoto Isoroku is called 80 cents, interested readers can check it out.) It is said that bystanders know clearly, but the authorities are confused. The two sides fought for a long time, and the number of bullets on both sides exceeded double digits, basically hitting everywhere they could. But judging from the current situation, the firepower of the German warships remains undiminished, and the situation in the British Balem is not good. If such a war of attrition continues, the British will naturally suffer. In this case, Kantaro Suzuki should consider what he would do if the British couldn't hold on any longer and chose to retreat... Takachiho is an unprotected battleship, and based on visual inspection, the distance seems not too far away. The Germans can't free their hands now. If they can free their hands, won't they be killed in seconds? "Let's stay farther away, and then send a telegram to Malaya and Warspite in the north, once again telling them the location of the German battleships." Kantaro Suzuki ordered. The rhythm of the battle seemed to be gradually falling on the German side, but at this time there were some minor twists and turns. "Okay, the power supply has been restored. Tell the people above to give it a try." A Royal Navy soldier covered in oil shouted to his colleagues above. With the roar of machinery, the No. 3 turret, which had been out of operation for more than ten minutes, began to rotate slowly, and the low-hanging muzzle was raised again, aiming at Gneisen, who was constantly spitting out flames in the distance. Fast battleship Nau. After some efforts, the British finally repaired the No. 3 turret. When the No. 3 turret once again spurted out long flames, almost all the British breathed a sigh of relief. They finally had the ability to fight their opponents! Boom! Flames instantly filled the entire field of vision. A 15-inch shell landed on the command tower of the Gneisenau, and the violent explosion left an 8-inch-deep radioactive crater in the 400mm-thick steel plate. With the help of others, Redel stood up, patted his tinnitus ears, and then the acting captain walked to the observation hole.

Looking at the Balem that was firing continuously in the distance. "Very tenacious."

The British are trying hard to fight back. The battle between the two sides has lasted for nearly an hour. At this time, the two fleets are sailing southwest at a speed of 21 knots. Although the British seem to be at a disadvantage , but still bite the opponent firmly. In this case, both sides played a little impatiently. The British wanted to regain their disadvantage, while the Germans wanted to use a heavy blow to make the opponent completely give up the pursuit-for example, slow down the opponent! "Let the Impermanence and Dublin come aboard, we need its torpedoes." Thomas said. There are only two light cruisers in the entire British fleet. Originally, Thomas did not want the lamb to participate in the fight between the lions, because even a slight blow from the lion might be fatal to these warships that can only defend against 6-inch high-explosive bombs, but now, Thomas felt increasingly powerless. Two light cruisers under the command of Captain Sinclair prepared to launch a lightning strike. They increased their speed to 25 knots and quickly entered the battlefield from the rear of the fleet. Their chosen target was the Gneisenau in position two. Light cruisers are also very particular about their level when playing lightning strikes. Take the mk2 21-inch torpedo equipped on two light cruisers as an example. This fish has two speed gears. It can hit 5,000 meters at a speed of 30 knots, and it can hit 3,600 meters at a speed of 35 knots. ……. If you want to hit a battleship, then the most optimistic estimate is that you have to get close to about 3,000 meters... And how do you describe this distance? A narrow escape? !The two light cruisers made good use of the cover provided by Balem's hull and the smoke generated above. When they had to expose themselves, the two battleships chose a very wide angle with the German battleships. Get close, so the speed change rate will be very large, which can significantly reduce the opponent's hit rate. Two light cruisers, like flying fish flying close to the sea, came into Redel's field of vision. The 150mm secondary guns located on the sides began to turn their muzzles, aiming at these assassins armed with sharp blades. Pillars of water soon rose up on the sea surface 10 kilometers away, wrapping the Impermanence in front. However, the 150mm semi-armor-piercing projectiles still have limited lethality against the British cruisers with Narcissus' thin armor belt. The shells that hit from time to time did not have much effect except setting a few fires on the hull. "The German main guns have been restrained by the queens. We can get closer." Major Sinclair ordered the fleet to turn another half of the compass point. Approach the opponent from a more direct angle. Now Redel is really not as disgusted as these two boats. He did not dare to easily turn the main gun's muzzle and aim at these fast-sailing assassins. But at the same time, the sparse 6-inch guns are indeed difficult to cause much damage to the light cruiser. The third update is here~~~!
