Chapter 1307： Make a choice

Chapter 1307

"Our current overall speed is shifting to the northwest. If the Japanese speed does not change, then a firefight may occur within 2 hours at most. (About 20 kilometers After a rough mapping and analysis, Raidel has some Said nervously.

"You mean, our position is exposed? Didn't we turn on the electronic jamming?" Su Xiong frowned slightly, but it was not the clenched and loose fists that exposed his mood at this time-very nervous! The situation he worries the most has already appeared. The two Japanese fleets have begun to converge, and when the two King Kong-class battlecruisers arrive, it will be the end of the Su Xiong fleet! No way, two King Kong-class battlecruisers and one Fuso-class have advantages in speed and firepower. Although there is a situation that kills King Kong in a single shot, no one dares to bet that their shells can accidentally land on the opponent's ammunition warehouse or other terrible places!

"From the current situation, the new Japanese fleet probably hasn't received the telegram yet. The telegraph system of the opponent's flagship has been destroyed. The Kurama at the back tried to send a report, but the operating frequency was completely within our electronic interference coverage. ."

"Look again here, their route actually has a considerable deviation. The Japanese fleet should be sailing based on the previous route, and the speed is not high, only about 23 knots. Obviously they don't understand the situation here." Speaking of the guess in the heart.

"But they can release the seaplane for investigation." Su Xiong said.

"If that's the case, we can only go!" Raidel smiled bitterly.

"If we can go." Su Xiong also smiled bitterly.

However, at this moment, when Su Xiong was hesitant to continue the battle or to withdraw, the Gneisenau in the back made another hit! And this time the hit will change the whole fighting situation to some extent!

A 350MM shell entered the water about 45 meters away from the Kurama. This shell after a special underwater ballistic optimization finally exerted its advantages in design. The slender hood was peeled off by the seawater, and then the body was centered. The blunt projectile continued to sail forward smoothly in the water. With the action of gravity, the projectile drew an elegant parabola in the sea. And finally made an intimate contact with the underwater defense system of the Kurama at 7 meters underwater!

The huge shells easily smashed the defense system under the waterline of the hull, and then, hundreds of tons of seawater poured in from the breach, and the flying fragments and solid projectiles pierced the two bulkheads all the way forward. Then it exploded on the last layer of lightning protection armor! How can the lightning protection armor of only 40MM withstand the impact and explosive energy of more than 600 kilograms of shells! The entire lightning protection wall of more than ten square meters was smashed by this bomb, and the defense outside the cabin of No. 2 engine collapsed in an instant! The high-speed rotating turbine is thus exposed to tons of debris and hundreds of tons of sea water, then the outcome of this cabin has been determined!

"At this moment, we even suspected that we hit a torpedo! Looking from the rangefinder, a column of water suddenly rose behind the middle of the hull of the Kurama. Then, the warship seemed to sway a bit, and in the following Within a few minutes, the Kurama tilted rapidly, and a large amount of steam diffused from the middle and rear of the hull, and even the two rear shells were covered. This is obviously a situation where a large number of steam pipes broke. And the speed of the Kurama continued to decrease It tells us that this guy's power system should have been severely damaged!" After the war, an officer on the Gneisenau recorded the scene like this.

This shell is indeed terrifying to the Kurama. The two roaring Parsons steam turbines were directly blown to pieces, and the power of the battleship inevitably dropped by more than half! Although there is a layer of armor between the two engine compartments, it barely blocked most of the shrapnel and water ingress, but at the same time, the shrapnel spreading around still cut off several important steam pipes in the other steam engine compartment, up to Baidu's High temperature and high pressure steam makes repair impossible. The constant vibration also caused some problems in the operation of the other two steam turbines. The sour rubbing and collision sounds made the Japanese people tremble! In the next 3 minutes, the speed of the Kurama quickly dropped to only about 11 knots, which was a distance from the Fuso in front!

However, the surprise did not end. Half a minute later, another shell successfully opened a hole in the forehead of Kurama No. 3 turret! This shell exploded between the two artillery pieces, and the flying fragments directly killed most of the 80-person battery in the entire turret. The remaining personnel also died in pain in the flames and suffocating poisonous gas. Then, almost without rescue, flames spread between the artillery and the servo equipment, turning the entire turret into a burning hell, but because there were no shells inside the turret at this time, and the lower dressing room The fire door is also closed, so there is no blast for the time being!

Two artillery shells directly change the result of the battle. With full play, the Pommel Horse only has 4 main guns to fire. This is close to the minimum for long-range correction. Although in theory, a single round of artillery can shoot more than 3 rounds. Because the artillery firing interval is somewhat long, there are problems in continuity. In other words, in theory, the pommel horse with half the firepower may not even have a quarter of the output!

"We seem to have won Seeing the Kurama that has been enveloped in steam, smoke and flames, Su Xiong exhaled. Now only the Yamashiro battleship is left, so in Japan Before the battlecruiser squadron arrived, the Yamashiro would probably be destroyed, right?

"Your Excellency Commander, Kurama seems to be dead." A Japanese officer tremblingly pointed to the heavily damaged Kurama in the distance.

"Did you lose? The Germans are indeed better than the Austrians." Kanji Kato muttered to himself, sitting in a chair. Only now did he really feel the despair. This is a feeling when facing an invincible enemy. On the face of it, the Japanese fleet lost a few good shots this time, but Kanji Kato knew that the gap between the Japanese fleet and the German fleet was too great!

This time, Kanji Kato realized how terrible the so-called electronic warfare technology is. These invisible radio waves are to some extent more terrifying than heavy artillery and armor-piercing bullets! They severed the connection between the Japanese fleet and made the entire fleet deaf. The original plan and quantitative advantages were torn to pieces! Let the original 4 on 2 students become 2 on 2!
