Chapter 1311： King Kong comes in (1/2)
Chapter 1311
The Japanese are not stupid. After fully studying many battle cases, the Japanese found that the British battlecruiser can be described as a crispy broiler when the output is standing. Resistant. Therefore, although others at the mountain house decided to fight, they didn’t really want to repel the opponent with their own power. If the destroyer can steal it, it’s best. If it can’t, then wait until it meets the mountain city and take the mountain city away. , This is also a great achievement.
”The Japanese seem to have discovered the Yamashiro, and they want to rendezvous.” Raidel thought for a while and said.
”The Yamashiro is not clear about the situation here. According to his previous trajectory and the direction of our side, it will take about an hour to converge. If we cannot achieve a decisive result within half an hour, then we I can only evacuate.” Su Xiong said.
Before the final encounter, the Japanese used the last period of time to readjust their formation. Five destroyers were located diagonally forward of the fleet, ready to attack at any time. The two Japanese battlecruisers moved a little apart to facilitate evasion. At 22 kilometers, the German fleet turned 180 degrees, from facing first to being parallel, and appropriately reducing its speed. The Japanese fleet maintained its course and a high speed of 22 knots. 18,000 meters! The Japanese fleet fired its first round!
The eight turrets of the Kongo and Kirishima burst into flames almost at the same time. When the first round of shells fell around the two German battleships, Su Xiong still did not order a counterattack. Three minutes later, the two German battleships also began to counterattack, but this time, the German fleet's rate of fire was not fast, firing at two and a half rounds per minute.
”The location is not very good, and the rate of speed change is somewhat large, and the accuracy is relatively poor.” A few minutes later, a staff officer passed on fire control opinions. In the first 5 minutes of the battle, neither side had a stable grasp of the opponent, and the occasional straddle was of limited significance. And this made the Japanese feel a little bit courageous, and the others at Yamaya decided to get closer. When the distance between the two sides narrowed to 14 kilometers, the Japanese destroyer finally dispatched!
Under the cover of Japanese battleships, these fierce piranha-like little guys quickly accelerated to a speed of around 28 knots. Like an assassin in the ancient war, he moves quickly and has a sharp blade!
”They started to accelerate!” Ozawa Jisaburo, who was the captain of the destroyer Akizuki, looked at the German fleet in the distance and said. The German warships began to accelerate from 18 knots. Although the Japanese destroyers were fast, they were in conflict with each other. The speed difference between them is around 9 knots, an average of 3 to 4 minutes, and the distance between them can be shortened by 1 kilometer. This behavior is very normal for anti-lightning strikes, and most Japanese people are accustomed to it, but Ozawa always feels that something is not right...
”This won’t work. We can’t find an attack window.” After a torpedo shooter on a Japanese destroyer roughly estimated the distance and speed of each other, he couldn’t help but shook his head. When the battle started, the Japanese fleet was actually At 18 kilometers behind the German fleet, although the distance between the two sides was narrowed because the German fleet decelerated before, if you want the destroyer to rush to the position of 3000 meters from the opponent's warship to launch the torpedo, then I am afraid it will take a while. time.
And it needs to be explained that the so-called effective distance of 3000 meters is definitely not a tail chase situation. You must know that the torpedoes of the Japanese destroyers are also a bit worse than that of the British. The British tried their best to achieve a speed of up to 45 knots. For fish, the Germans worked hard to reach 42 to 45 knots.
