Chapter 1017： Try it!

Chapter 1017 You rush to try!

"I rub! So upright?!" The earl saw the French fleet continue to maintain its original course and plunged into it. He also felt a little scalp numb. It was not afraid, but somehow he could not imagine how the confidence of the French came from. Are you really afraid of hitting your 30-odd naval guns like this? Really think that your 350MM naval gun is scaring people? ! Piaget suddenly realized that all the routines he had designed before seemed to be useless now, and all that was left was hard work! Either the French rushed to stop the Niegovan fleet's return, or he beat the French back, but the count liked this simple method of warfare!

The last battle of the Battle of Rhode Island is known as the least brainstorming battle since World War I! Both sides have very clear ideas, and the approach is very straightforward. To put it simply, one party must rush over, the other side will not let it rush over... The French fleet went forward bravely under the leadership of the three Brestany-class battleships, while the four fast battleships of Count Spey raised their spears at their opponents!

Naturally, the French would not directly rush toward them. When the two sides were within range, the French fleet, led by Brestag, turned slightly past two compass points so that the warships behind could have some shots. World. The 3 super fearless can exert about 70% of the firepower, and the three solitary battleships behind can probably exert about 40%. The French figured that this should be almost enough!

However, the French still underestimated the artillery and combat effectiveness of the Spey fleet. Historically, the Earl’s fleet was exquisite and civilized with artillery skills. Whether in the Battle of Coronel or the Falkland Islands, the artillery of the Far East Fleet Shudu master is remarkable. Especially in the case of two battlecruisers, the Far East Fleet still hit the Invincible 22 times under extremely unfavorable circumstances! Among them, there were 12 rounds of 210MM shells and 6 rounds of 160MM shells. Other hit calibers are unknown. Of course, it just couldn't hurt. It is said that only one person was slightly injured... And this time, given the strength of his own fleet, the earl left an extremely profound influence on the French fleet's first day battle!

"Don't worry about the fearlessness in the back, they are not threatening, just take care of the fearlessness in front." Following the earl's order, the four fast battleships quickly distributed firepower, and Sultan Osman I and Reshadia took aim. De La Perel’s flagship, while Tegerhof and Prinz Eugen aimed at the two battleships behind,

The course of the warships of both sides sailed at an acute angle. When approaching a distance of 17,000 meters, the main gun of the Sultan Osman I burst out flames again! I thought that the rate of speed change was relatively large, so the first round of shooting was worse, and the artillery shells landed behind the target warship. As the distance between the fleets of the two sides approached, and realized that the French fleet might not change its course, after reloading the data, the Allied fleet's hit rate still increased, and when the Allied fleet formed the first round of straddling the French warships At that time, the two sides were close to the distance of 13,500 meters!

And this time, there was another close-range battle with bayonet hits between the two parties! The Allied side is still the same class ship with the pedigree of the Helgeland-class fast battleship, and the Allied side, well, no matter what, the French Brestani-class battleship is inferior to the Fuso-class fast battleship. Several grades!

The Brestagne, which was set on fire by two battleships, was hit first. A 350MM shell hit the French battleship’s No. 2 turret from the front. This was the weakest of all turrets. The 250MM armor was not enough. At a distance of 13000 meters, it is impossible to withstand the attack of 350MM armor-piercing projectiles. At this distance, the latter can easily hit a penetration depth of more than 12 inches! This shell directly hit the seam between the front of the turret and the horizontal part, and the violent impact even lifted a large piece of horizontal armor into the air! Then the shell ripped the armor and landed on the main gun on the left side of the No. 2 turret!

Boom, a pillar of fire more than ten meters high rose into the sky. The violent explosion even pushed out most of the artillery pieces weighing dozens of tons from the turret, and then fell heavily on the top of the No. 1 turret, which weighed dozens of tons. The huge kinetic energy carried by the hammer cannot be underestimated! The rangefinder and the observation port on the surface of the No. 1 turret were directly crushed, and the French officers and soldiers inside were also directly shaken as if in a big bell! Even better, unfortunately, this gun barrel even hit the left side of the No. 1 turret and bend it directly. Fortunately, there were no shells in the artillery at this time, otherwise it would be a trivial matter to explode the chamber!

And just before the French had not figured out the situation, a 350mm shell fired from the Resadier hit the front of the Brestany hull. This shell directly tore a long strip on the bow armor belt. A hole of more than 3 meters! Added about 400 tons of displacement to this battleship in a short time... In less than 10 seconds, another shell hit the middle of the hull. Even when the angle is not ideal, the 350mm shell still cuts 270mm thick like a hot knife cutting butter. The armor, and then hit the inclined vault! In the end, this shell failed to penetrate the armor completely but turned into countless fragments together with the armor! But even so, three boilers in the power cabin were shut down!

Compared to the Confederate fleet's knife and knife The performance of the Brestag was very bad. The French shells are like the Bronk movement, under the suppression of superior firepower and extremely high speed. Under the influence of the rate of change, the bomb landing zone was so erratic that the Germans wondered whether Brestani, who was on the opposite side, was aiming at his four battleships in turn, and even once, the battleship Prince Eugen was the last. A group of shells was found to hit an area 1,000 meters behind him.

When the two sides approached 12,000 meters, the two German battleships sent at least four more artillery shells to the hull of the Brestag, and the gun mount of the No. 3 turret in the middle was hit, although the position was not very good. It can penetrate, but after a huge impact, a large piece of steel sags directly, smashing the transmission equipment of the gun mount to pieces. In addition to exploding two 138.6MM artillery pieces, a shell that penetrated into the armor belt of the artillery gallery seemed to detonate something, and set a small fire for this French battleship...

In addition, the other two shells hit the front of the warship in a concentrated manner. As a result, three breaches totaling more than 40 square meters appeared on the side of the hull. The Brestani had a serious bow, and most of the bow was submerged in the waves from time to time.
