Chapter 879： Guild Wars Three (1/2)

The Bavaria kept hitting this distant opponent. The British believed that the battleship's armor became extremely fragile under repeated strikes by 15-inch heavy guns. The second gun directly tore the power compartment located under the second chimney. Armor, the fuze of this shell had a problem during the collision and did not explode. But just one shot of more than 800 kilograms of solid iron lump rushing into it at a speed of more than 500 meters per second can also cause terrible damage.

Two boilers were blown up instantly! Countless fragments and high-temperature and high-pressure steam carried out an indiscriminate killing of the personnel in the cabin! Subsequently, the shock wave mixed with various debris and water vapor successfully reached the honeycomb of the compartment partition, and then rushed out and spread to the surrounding!

The disaster continued. In the seventh round of firing, the Aiaz was hit by three shells at the same time, directly destroying the motor compartment and the fourth turret in the middle and rear of the hull. The violent explosion and vibration also damaged the hull. The transmission shaft passing by the bottom, the cracking sound of the mechanical structure, and the disharmonious twisting sound of the main shaft came from the hull. In the slight tremor, the British were frightened!

However, just as the Bavaria was preparing to make persistent efforts to kill the British super fearless, a loud noise suddenly erupted from the tail of the British fleet, and a pillar of fire more than 100 meters high rose into the sky! Even though the distance is very far away, through the telescope, the prince can still see a large number of broken pieces being thrown into the air! When the flames have not dissipated, a puff of thick smoke gradually cooled down, and then formed a huge mushroom cloud. The rising mushroom cloud began to slowly dissipate after reaching a height of several hundred meters!

”A certain brother in the back seems to have done a terrific thing.” Scheer said with envy.

Just a minute ago, the battleship Hesse knocked two 15-inch shells on the face of the Indomitable in a salvo. The two shells hit the front and rear of the hull at the same time, and then they were in the ammunition depot. Two large holes of several square meters were opened in the outer armor belt. How can a small 6-inch armor belt withstand 15-inch heavy artillery attacks? The blow was simply and neat, and the projectiles like meteors exploded directly in the ammunition depot, without giving the British any chance to release water in the ammunition bay!

Ten seconds later, hundreds of tons of artillery shells and propellant were ignited, and the entire battleship was blown up into three segments in an instant! The middle section sank directly into the sea with thunder and thunder bells, and the stern was directly blown to pieces, and the wreckage was smearing the face of the Indomitable battlecruiser behind! Even the independent rangefinder on the Inflexible No. 1 turret was smashed to pieces by what appeared to be some kind of steel beam!

A battlecruiser with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons was killed in this way. Although it was expected and reasonable, when it happened suddenly, it still caused people's shock! Ten thousand tons of steel was torn apart by a violent explosion, and thousands of crew members were wiped out in an instant. It is impossible to say that you are not afraid!

”Strong harder brothers, let's continue! Kill the other one!” The captain of the battleship Hesse, Colonel Karl Russ, who had made the first kill of the battle, turned his attention to another battleship. He was excited and hoped to gain more. Many fruits of victory!

”Mr. Captain, we probably don't have much ammunition.” At this time, a disappointing news came, making the colonel very dissatisfied.

”From the beginning of the battle until now, we have knocked out 550 rounds of armor-piercing ammunition, and when we came out, the total ammunition of the armor-piercing ammunition was 760.” The gunner said embarrassingly.
