Chapter 310： Rolling (1/2)
While the Marquis of Bismarck concentrated its fire on the Ryan Ryder, the battleship Charlemagne and the cruiser Descartes were also doing their best to attack the German ships, but unfortunately the 12-inch guns on the Charlemagne did not perform well. It is because the number of artillery is small and the fire control is a little behind. On the other hand, the distance between the two sides is a bit far for the French...
You know, in history, Dewey was even close to 1,500 meters when he hit the Spanish fleet! When the Russo-Japanese War broke out in 1904, the distance between the two sides began to exchange fire was only about 7000 meters. Note that this is the distance at which the exchange started, not the distance that can effectively hit the opponent!
It is a miracle that the Marquis of Bismarck can hit the opponent at an average speed of one round per minute at a distance of 6000 meters! Even when Prince Ruprecht received the battle report from Hipper, he doubted whether the battle report was adulterated.... This record has not even been hit in the exercise! Finally, I can only say that God Bless Germany! This shows a bit of luck!
The battleship in the middle has been beaten to nothing, and apart from Charlemagne’s 12-inch gun room that may make Hipper feel a little threat, the other cruiser Kadir has no sense of existence at all! A **** cruiser with a main output of 100MM guns, what effect can it have in the face of the Marquis with its former armor? And the distance of about 6000 meters has exceeded the level of the French during normal training. It should be missed, but not normal!
”The French navy is not that great. It's not more difficult to deal with than the Japanese. When I followed my prince to fight the Japanese, the other side jumped a few times. Now I see no pressure to fight France!” Hipper thought of this. , A slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
”Fuck!” Just when Hipper was a little fluttering, the A turret on the bow of the Marquis of Bismarck suddenly burst, and a huge fireball skyrocketed. With a loud noise, Hipper even saw a cannon barrel being blown off and then falling into the sea several tens of meters away.
Only half a minute later, another fireball burst out from the sidestring of the battleship, and an armor plate on the waterline of the battleship was receded straight by about 1 foot! Although it failed to penetrate, relying on huge kinetic energy, this 12-inch shell still shattered the back plate behind the armor and tore a small hole in the hull, and flooded several compartments of the battleship. , One of the oil tanks was also contaminated.
The French are also lucky. According to the RP conservation law, when the Marquis of Bismarck beat the Ryan Ryder, the 12-inch gun of Charlemagne also hit the opponent twice in one minute! 5500 meters away! In the eyes of the French, this record can also be regarded as Liao Zhai!
”Focused fire on Charlemagne! Kill him!” The Lion Ryder had been hit hard and almost lost its power. Even if it was thrown there, it would be fine. If Charlemagne can be left, then unless the French are willing to stop If he mobilizes warships from the fleet that is not very wealthy, then the overall situation of the maritime situation in Africa is set.
And sinking a battleship! What a glory this is! The first officer in the German Navy who sank a battleship, it was too shameful to say it! But soon after the two sides had a PK, the Germans discovered that the battleship was a battleship, it was okay to be hard!
The sharp artillery fire of the Marquis of Bismarck, which turned its muzzle, soon made Charlemagne feel tremendous pressure. The 5.5-inch gun on the French battleship had no idea of facing the heavy armor of the Marquis at long range. They can only rely on four 12-inch guns to counterattack, and the French can't always win the favor of God. Except for a few amazing hits, the remaining performance can only be described as mediocre.
