Chapter 1487： Rush Hour Two (1/2)
Chapter 1487 Peak Hour (2)
”Attacking the opponent's super fearless! Concentrating firepower on the opponent's super fearless!” After a while, the message from the phone on the ship made the fire controller find the direction, and then the three British battleships chose to directly command the Earl of Spey. The three super fearless fought, because the latter had just attacked the Marlborough and failed to complete the ranging and test firing of the British fleet!
So, after a few months, Britain and Germany, the capital ships of the world's most powerful navy, met again! This time, the performance of the British surprised the Germans a bit!
A series of shells landed next to the German fleet. One of the large-caliber armor-piercing shells crossed the flying water column and directly hit the main turret mount of the Sultan Selim I. In the past, it relied on the 13-inch armored mount shell. It didn’t happen to open the opponent. The shell was like an indestructible long gun. It was shot from the gap between two steel plates. After tearing open the 11-inch thick armor, it was finally weak. The violent impact detonated the shell. The fuze at the bottom.
Then, the originally weakened shell exploded, and finally, a large piece of shrapnel blasted through the final defense! The British finally broke through the core compartment of the German battleship in actual combat! The flying shrapnel directly destroyed the moving ammunition transporter, and fierce flames roared in the passage. However, it is gratifying that the two fire doors blocked the fatal blast. Although the turret was abandoned, the ammunition depot below Also considered saved!
Soon the British achieved a breakdown one after another at a closer distance! After a while, the flagship of Earl Luknar, the Prinz Eugen was also punctured, but his condition was better this time. A shell pierced the lower part of the main armor belt of the sidestring, and shot one at the waterline. The huge gap brought about 500 tons of water to the battleship and caused the battleship to tilt slightly.
”The British, this time, it seems that they can penetrate our armor! They have changed into new armor-piercing bullets!” A terrible thought arose in Earl Spey's heart. The performance of the British has improved a lot than before, but unfortunately, before the French arrived, the German fleet gradually suppressed their opponents!
The Rechadia, which was almost undisturbed by firepower, and the two Austro-Hungarian navies were quasi-fearless like shooting targets in the exercise, sending a round of shells to each other! The Germans told the British with eloquent facts that at this distance, the 12-inch shells were still deadly!
The flagship Iron Duke was also set on fire! The Reshadia and Zrini fired tons of shells at distant targets. The first thing that suffers is the rangefinder on the top of the ship's hull! A 12-inch shell successfully blasted the most important fire control equipment of this warship to pieces. And a 350mm shell that whizzed past also blasted the Iron Duke’s No. 1 turret to pieces like a can opener! This shell penetrated from the side, and then directly hit the ammunition rack at the rear of the turret. The violent explosion not only made the rear of the turret look like a smashed watermelon, but also a large number of shrapnel and impact also caused the rear No. 2 turret. The violent explosion caused serious damage to the ship's deck and completely stuck the No. 2 turret! The shrapnel and flames also destroyed a cannon on the No. 2 turret.
The Ferdinand aimed the artillery at the third Benbau! However, at this time, there were only less than four 12-inch guns left. The Ferdinand itself was less than one-third of its combat power, but he was very lucky to hit a shell on the turret of Benbau’s 2nd turret. Although it was unable to penetrate the opponent due to the angle problem, the deformation of the turret also made the turret useless.
The two sides are like peerless swordsmen fighting each other. After a tentative attack, the two sides quickly opened up the distance. The German and the British chose to release the smoke screen almost at the same time. The only difference is that the German fleet is retreating, while the British fleet is retreating. Continue to pursue!
