Chapter 2119： Fight for the Weak II

An armor-piercing projectile weighing nearly 600KG roared over 8000 meters and hit the main armor belt of the sideboard of the Caesar. At this distance, the penetration depth of the British new green hat armor-piercing projectile was so terrifying, with a thickness of 11 The first generation of hardened armor failed to block the opponent’s attack. Accompanied by a violent collision, the shell cut a large irregular hole in the deck. Then, accompanied by a broken quilt, hundreds of kilograms The body of the missile went straight into the motor compartment at the rear of the Caesar No. 2 turret. With the activation of the bottom fuze, a group of dazzling fire burst out from the middle of the Caesar's hull! This gun directly caused a partial fire on the hull, and directly lost one third of the power system of the warship! And the second turret driven by an electric motor was also stuck in a fixed position!

"Switch back-up power immediately! All the main guns use the turret rangefinder for aiming! Suppress the opponent with all their strength!" Caesar’s gunner quickly lowered his full force. At this time, the two sides were close enough to shoot enough shells in a short time Crucially, less than one minute after the British opened fire, the German fleet also launched a counterattack. A dozen 12-inch and 10-inch guns crazily thought of the British battleship detachment projecting tons of shells in the distance.

In addition to Caesar, the second flagship Caesar Frederick was also hit. A 12-inch shell hit the No. 1 main turret in the bow of the ship. This shell penetrated from the armor belt above the left artillery because of the angle problem. , 11-inch armor also failed to block the British 12L50 artillery attack, but fortunately, this shell did not explode after penetrating the armor. This time, the British's fuze was too stable!

The battleship Caesar William II, ranked third, was more miserable. Two 12-inch shells hit the bottom of the flue, but the 6-inch flue armor was naturally shattered, and countless thick smoke broke through. The opening gushed out, directly shielding half of the ship’s surface, and the exhaust gas flowing back into the boiler warehouse also caused a quarter of the boiler of the warship to go out, and another shell hit the tail of the hull and opened at the waterline. A big mouth adds 500 tons of water intake to this warship!

The only lucky thing is the armored cruiser Cologne. This armored cruiser is the furthest away from the British battleship, and most of its hull is hidden by friendly forces, so the shooting angle of the battleship Neptune at the back of the British fleet is not good, plus the armored cruiser Faster, the Cologne successfully avoided the opponent's first wave of blows. And together with the last armored cruiser Luen, which was not targeted by the capital ship, launched a counterattack against the Dreadnought at the head of the British fleet!

The German fleet turned quickly under the cover of the smoke released by the destroyer. Although the British's first attack was fierce, it was not so deadly. Seeing the German battleship looming in the smoke in the distance, Thomas couldn't help but start not worrying, because He is ready for the back hand. While the capital ship is raiding the opponent, under the cover of two British light cruisers, the British destroyer squadron will immediately approach the opponent and launch a close-range lightning strike! With the firepower of the German fleet being suppressed, the attacks of high-speed torpedo boats are often deadly!

However, Thomas’s advance arrangements caused serious problems in this operation. Just when two British light cruisers led the destroyers to the unprepared German avant-garde destroyer detachment, two slender figures suddenly appeared in the rear of the torpedo boat and destroyer detachment. On the side, at a distance of less than 800 meters, two German frigates used crazy firepower to slaughter the lightning unit in front of the British fleet!

The two large destroyers finally avoided the two British light cruisers. Obviously, for large destroyers without torpedoes, fighting the light cruisers at close range is simply killing them. According to the observations just now, it seems that the British light cruisers The torpedo has been dismantled, probably because of previous engagements, because the torpedo was detonated and accidentally lost a light cruiser. After that, the British fleet was specifically modified for the night battle fleet, right? However, this way, although the two German large destroyers have no chance of winning, at the same time, the two British light cruisers are also helpless against the German battleships! Therefore, the two German large destroyers decisively cut into the battlefield from the gap between the light cruiser and the destroyer detachment behind, isolating the most threatening torpedo boats behind!

"Fire!" The powerful firepower of 8 150MM artillery and 4 105MM artillery on the two large destroyers was definitely a very big trouble for the British destroyers who were caught off guard behind them. The 3 torpedo boats that rushed into the front were turned into an instant. Covered by tons of cannonballs, facing the repeated attacks of 150MM artillery, the 400-ton torpedo boat is still too small and fragile. Accompanied by palpable explosions, violent energy and flames will bring this poor torpedo boat to the waterline. It was full of holes In less than a minute, this destroyer was seriously tilted, and the high-speed navigation aggravated the tilt. In the end, the first destroyer directly Overturned in the sea, while the other two destroyers were detonated by torpedoes and exploded into countless slap-sized fragments. The other destroyer's power compartment was pierced by a 150MM shell and could only spin around on the sea. ,

"Get rid of these guys!" Facing the two German frigates that suddenly sprang out, the British lightning squad behind them decisively turned their heads! The remaining 4 destroyers and 1 torpedo boat began to besiege the two German warships. The two sides madly attacked their opponents like two eggs wheeled with hammers, whether it was a German gun or a British 4-inch gun for those without armor protection. Both sides are fatal!

The rapid-fire guns of the two sides fired frantically at a distance of less than 500 meters. Each battleship was shrouded in flames and smoke from the explosion. Shrapnel engulfed by the shock wave slammed everything on the hull, artillery. The upper gun shield shattered into fragments under repeated attacks. A group of soldiers exploded into piles of incomplete corpses in the shells, and blood was flowing on the twisted deck. The hull made a sour twisting sound in the explosion of the shells. Every time it was hit, the battleship seemed to shake. In the high-intensity confrontation, the two sides soon became a little overwhelmed!

"Damn the Germans are finally over!" Lieutenant Brown, the captain of the destroyer Musketeer, the flagship of the destroyer squadron, looked at the figure that had been enveloped in flames and let out a bad breath!
