Chapter 1473： Encounter two

Chapter 1473 Encounter 2

"Let the former Dreadnought Fleet support the destroyer operations, we must solve it as soon as possible!" The count ordered. So 4 super fearless still hiding in the night, and 2 quasi fearless and 1 armored cruiser came to the front. It’s not because the earl is timid, but because you don’t know how many major British people are in this sea. It would be absolutely uncomfortable to be shot up by a 12-inch heavy artillery in a close-range battle! And if you expose yourself, maybe you will be fatally attacked by torpedoes. Therefore, the earl decided to hide temporarily.

"Send a seaplane to dig out the British battleship hidden in the night!" Of course, it is not the style of the earl to simply wait for the opponent to make a mistake. At this time, the seaplane once again played its advantage! Now that the Allied fleet has been discovered, every minute is very important. The goal is right in front of you. If you move faster, maybe after you kill the British fleet, you can go to bombing the port? Did you finally talk about going home? The earl has already thought about it!

More and more destroyers joined this large-scale field battle. Hussars galloped on the sea on these battlefields, and then attacked each other with dense shells and torpedoes at a distance of almost their faces. A British destroyer rushed out from the side. , And his other two friendly forces frantically suppressed a German destroyer at a distance of about 2,000 meters. The latter couldn’t escape such a fierce attack even if the smoke screen was released. The dense shells fell on the destroyer’s side from time to time. A series of twisted bullet holes were left.

However, just when the British were about to make persistent efforts to kill the destroyer completely, a torpedo unknowingly hit one of the British destroyers, and the violent explosion directly shattered the battleship into fragments, a huge fireball. Appearing in the night, illuminating the figure of the sneak attacker, the other three German destroyers who arrived on the battlefield in time and the besieged destroyer immediately counterattacked the two British destroyers. In a short while, British aid has also come continuously, and both sides will have nothing to do with each other for a while.

However, when the quasi-dreadnought battleship Ferdinand and the Redbeard joined the battlefield, the whole situation changed. The heavy artillery shells flying from 6000 meters away quickly tilted the balance of the battlefield, and the two British destroyers were covered by the fire of destruction from the sky. One of them was hit by a 12-inch shell, and the violent explosion directly exploded the warship into two pieces. The other shell was covered by dense 6-inch guns, and a large hole several meters long was torn open on the side of the ship. After strong reinforcements joined, the entire battlefield was slaughtered!

"It's a German battleship, they are right under our nose!" Through the light of the fire, Major General Wism found that the German battleship was less than 6000 meters away from him! At 6000 meters, the effective engagement distance between the two sides during the Russo-Japanese War is more than that! Even the former fearless can effectively attack the opponent. In this case, the defensive advantage and firepower advantage of the dreadnought ship are greatly reduced. In the eyes of the British, even the old-fashioned 12-inch gun can still cause a fatal blow to the opponent. !

"The opponent seems to be three capital ships! They did not find us! Ordered, Agamemnon attacked the enemy's first battleship, London and Ocean attacked the second, and the last one was left to Triumph and the cruiser Doris With Dublin!" Major General Wism issued an attack order.

The Agamemnon is the last quasi-dreadnought battleship in the UK. It has 4 12-inch L45 guns, which are exactly the same as the main guns on the Dreadnought. There are 5 234mm guns on the sideline. In terms of projection capacity, it may not be more fearless. So he was arranged to deal with a German battleship alone. The London and the Ocean could use four 12-inch guns, so the two battleships fought one. As for the Triumph, this was originally a second-class battleship built by the British for Chile. Although the sidestring has 4 10-inch guns and as many as 7 190MM rapid-fire guns, the amount of projection is terrifying, but after all, it has limited effect on the battleship. Fight the third with two other cruisers!

The action of the British was still very fast. The rangefinder at the top began to find the target quickly. The crosshairs in the center of the rangefinder slammed the muzzle flames of the German battleships. The huge cannonball was loaded into the chamber with the help of the servo. In this last period of time, the British tried to find a position where they could give full play to their firepower, but unfortunately, because of the obstruction of the destroyer, the number of battles was superior. The British battleships have never been able to fully deploy the battle line, especially the two cruisers behind, there is almost no shooting angle!

"Fire!" Along with the firing order, orange fireballs rose from the sea. Armour-piercing projectiles weighing more than 300 kilograms roared towards the German fleet 6500 away. Only ten seconds later, one by one. The tall water column covers the target battle!

"Damn it, why are you all attacking me!" Although the British allocated firepower, because of visibility issues, the first three battleships aimed their artillery at the front of the Ferdinand battleship! No one attacked the Zilini in second place! Although the third Redbeard was also besieged by three battles, the only real threat was triumph, because the other two cruisers shot all their shells into the water due to angle problems!

"Fleet disbanded! Let's fight each!" The Austrians reacted quickly ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Under the sudden attack, they soon realized that they could not beat their opponents. Judging from the firepower on the opposite side, The opponent had at least 3 or more former dreadnoughts and armored cruisers, and he was suddenly besieged and was already at the peak. So decisively choose to disband the formation. Anyway, this battle doesn't need them to fight output!

The Ferdinand immediately released the smoke screen before the opponent's third-round salvo, stopped shooting, and began to evacuate in the opposite direction. The smoke gushing from the smoke pot quickly obscured the slender hull of the battleship, and after losing the guidance of the muzzle flames, the British immediately started to blind them. At this time, the British still did not find that there was a problem with their firepower distribution, and the three battleships continued to fire on the escaped target in the distance!

"The destroyer rushed up and turned on the searchlight!" Major General Wism knew that once the enemy was completely lost in the night battle, it would be very troublesome to find the enemy again. Therefore, at this time, the British fleet did not dare to keep it, and 6 ships were used as reserves. The destroyer rushed up to Quasi-Fearless not far away, and turned on the searchlights, looking for opponents. A huge beam of light swept across the night, along with the destroyer's high-speed movement, searching for the target like the eyes of a behemoth!
