Chapter 1312
Although the destroyer is small, it is more than 80 meters long! Faced with the sudden turn of the German battleship, the two Japanese destroyers made different choices. One destroyer began to turn, trying to show the torpedo tubes on the side of the ship. Continue to charge, and then launch a torpedo, but the other destroyer subconsciously chose to evade.
However, I don’t know if it’s because of being too nervous or otherwise willing. The two destroyers didn’t pull out the smoke screen in the first time. Maybe it was because the opposing secondary gun was not very powerful? Is it not relevant to China First? But sorry, this time both German battleships even used their main guns...
A water column of more than 40 meters high suddenly rose 15 meters in front of the destroyer Yangyan who continued to decide to desperately die! The falling sea water instantly bathed the front deck of the Yangyan, and it was not too late. Only 20 seconds later, another 350MM high-explosive bomb was successfully lined up in the middle of the torpedo of the Yangyan’s hull. On the tube! As a result, Yangyan became the first sacrifice to be sent to the altar of the God of War. The torpedoes in the two torpedo tubes were smashed and the destroyer of more than 900 tons was directly taken away. In an instant, hundreds of tons of steel were blown into countless pieces.
As for the other destroyer, when faced with the two German battleships that suddenly concentrated all their firepower, they did not run out, turning around, turning, pulling the smoke screen, and then being overtaken by the flying shells at a distance of 9,000 meters from the two German battleships. It is also a 350MM armor-piercing projectile, which directly removes the engine room at the rear of the hull, and knocks the waterline part of the hull into a slotted spoon...
And just before the German fleet had time to cheer for its physiology, a fire broke out in the middle of the Gneisenau hull. A 14-inch armor-piercing projectile fired from the Kirishima hit the ship after slowing down. Battleship. But the problem is not big, it is directly bounced off by the thick armor. After the hit, only a scratch more than 1 meter long was left on the water part of the starboard side of the battleship.
"Continue to turn right for 1 compass point! Our chance is here!" Su Xiong commanded loudly. At this time, after two Japanese destroyers were spiked in a very short period of time, the other three Japanese destroyers subconsciously chose to evade and temporarily struck by lightning. The pressure was gone, and the German fleet did not re-open the distance to engage in battle line engagement as the Japanese imagined, but continued to turn right, trying to cross the diagonal front of the two Japanese battlecruisers. This is unclear to fight melee!
"Fuck! Is this going to be desperate?" The others in the mountain house were also stunned. He did not expect that the German fleet, which has always been known for its strong boats and guns, would actually plan to fight in close hands? Give up the advantage of long-distance combat and fight with yourself? What does the other party think?
And just as the others at the mountain house hesitated, two more shells hit the German warship. Although the speed change rate of the two sides is still very large, at this time, the distance between the two sides has narrowed to about 12 kilometers! Therefore, the Japanese fleet's hit rate also began to rise, perhaps because of the results achieved, so Yamaya others hesitated, and did not issue orders to evade or release the smoke screen. "Maybe you can fight to death a German battleship this time?" Others in the mountain house said in their hearts.
boom! A few seconds ago, Su Xiong felt the earthquake for the first time... A shell was shot directly on the side of the control tower, but fortunately, the 15-inch thick control tower was quite powerful. But the shock was still unavoidable. After standing up on the wall, Su Xiong didn't take care of the same shocked colleague, but immediately picked up the phone on the ship: "Get ready to fire, come closer! Kill them! "
The two German fast battleships rushed to the Japanese fleet like crazy behemoths, and when the distance was close to 10,500 meters, they made the first round of salvos! Yes, after the Japanese destroyers were killed, the German battleships did not attack the Japanese battleships with their main guns. The few remaining armor-piercing bullets can no longer be wasted easily, so they are waiting, waiting for a moment that is enough to kill with one blow!
10500 meters! This is the combat distance that the battleships of the two sides have almost never experienced since the start of World War I in daytime conditions. This distance is simply too close! Compared with the battleship's main gun, it can already be regarded as putting the muzzle on the opponent's forehead!
This time, however, the defense of the German battleship once again refreshed the Japanese senses! At a distance of about 10 kilometers, the 14-inch shells of the Japanese battleship were bounced off again and again! The two German battleships shuttled between the flames and the water column, blasting fireballs on them from time to time, but they continued to fight like undead hydra, and counterattacked the Japanese fleet with fierce shelling!
"They are simply invulnerable monsters. At such a close distance, we can even use binoculars to clearly observe the details of the opponent's battleship! We hope that we can pierce the opponent's armor with the spear like a dragon slayer, but reality Let us despair again. The German warships were immune to our attacks time and time again, and then they aimed their thick and long 350MM artillery at us!” A Japanese officer on the King Kong recalled the scene like this.
"Suffer!" When the main guns of the two German fast battleships once again spewed flames on the two Japanese battlecruisers, the others in the mountain house felt their heart stunned. A sense of fear from the depths of the soul surged up. This kind of bone-chilling chill and fear made his reaction slow for a while!
The first round of attack successfully clamped the target The second round of semi-volley continued to clamp! In the third half-volley, the battleship Scharnhorst successfully smeared two shells on the King Kong face! The first shell directly penetrated the front of King Kong No. 1 turret, but how can the 8-inch armor withstand the German 350MM armor-piercing shell 10 kilometers away?
This armor-piercing projectile left a huge circular bullet hole in the armor plate and the projectile body was still intact! And it exploded after hitting the ammunition rack in the tail compartment of the turret! Fortunately, the ammunition at the back is not too much, but only 2 shells and 2 packs of propellant, but even so, it is enough for the King Kong to drink a pot!
The flame storm caused by the violent explosion swept across the entire turret instantly, the huge energy even lifted half of the turret top cover, and the turret rangefinder at the back was blown into a pile of debris! The overwhelming fire and smoke quickly enveloped the high bridge of the King Kong under the blowing of the sea breeze.
The second shell flew higher, and it hit the top of King Kong’s mast. The 6-meter-long rangefinder and the fire control room below were brought in together. The entire battleship looked like a torch, and these two guns really scared the mountain house.
