Chapter 2226： Battle Three

"Quiet, the battle has just begun. This victory is nothing compared to what we want to achieve. Therefore, I hope everyone can continue their efforts, for the empire, for the high seas fleet!" Ruprecht made a quiet Said after the gesture. However, Ruprecht subconsciously glanced at the wall clock on the wall and recorded this point in time. Ten minutes after the start of the war, the first British battleship sank!

"Order all warships to fill their positions in turn." Jericho looked at the sea in the distance, where the battleship Marlborough disappeared. Although there was no expression on his face, Jericho was still held in by anxiety and fear deep in his heart.

Before today, he had always firmly believed that if everyone started to fight, the High Seas Fleet, no matter how elite it was, would not be the opponent of the Grand Fleet in the case of absolute numbers of inferiority. Before that, Betty had broken the halberd. The battle of the sand-sinking Dogel Sandbar was only because the Germans used battleships to fight British battlecruisers, but now, it seems that their super-fearless people have nothing to do with battlecruisers under the German 15-inch guns. The difference!

And shortly after the Bavaria made its first kill, a newcomer to the "Bavarian Family" also made the first kill of his service career not long after! And this kill is also worthy of gold, because the 11th ship Meiningen of Bavaria faced the pincer attack of two British battleships at the same time, although they were all dreadnoughts!

After all, the British Grand Fleet still has a weak quantitative advantage. The two dreadnoughts Boronofon and Reckless of the British Fourth Battleship Squadron can concentrate 20 12-inch artillery on the two battleships towards Meiningen. Leaning bullet rain. I have to say that even in the case of incorrect ranging, the huge amount of projection can still make up for this mistake. Every minute, more than 30 shells screamed at this "newcomer".

The Royal Navy's tactical literacy is still very good. They coordinated the rhythm of each other's attacks very well, and did not make the water column of the two battleships overlap. After the initial adaptation, the British also began to make a hit.

Shortly after a 12-inch shell fired from the Boronophon was successfully bounced off by the sidestring armor belt of the Meiningen, another shell that flew from the Reckless was on the hull of the Meiningen. There was a small fire on the upper deck of the rear, and this made Major General Maover on the Meiningen very upset.

"Damn, we are a new ship." Major General Maover said dissatisfied. After all, it is a new battleship that has recently served. In terms of the level of training and the degree of running-in of the battleship personnel, this newcomer must have a relatively large gap compared with his old predecessors, and he is still fighting two battleships at the same time, and the other side keeps shooting shells. Although it was unable to cause fatal damage to the Meiningen, it still made the warship a little messy. At least the continuously rising water column around the hull made the Meiningen a little difficult to observe, and in order to avoid the shells, he needed to constantly adjust the course in a small area.

But with the air, the Luftwaffe gradually gained control of the battlefield, and after the orthopedic aircraft on the battleship approached the British fleet, the situation changed a little! Because the observation conditions of the aircraft in the air are much better!

"We clamped the Bolonofon again! Perfect clamping!" Because the signal transmission and processing takes time, Meiningen's orthopedic firing speed is not fast, about 45 seconds in a half-round salvo. Now, after the aerial reconnaissance plane sent out a telegram of the perfect landing, the Meiningen was like an angry lion, pouring out its anger toward the target with all its strength!

"Keep the warship's course unchanged! Don't worry about the British hits! Kill the Boronophon!" Major General Maover commanded loudly, and with the help of the plane, the Meiningen finally shot out in the 8th minute. In the first hit, a 15-inch shell landed between the No. 1 and No. 2 turrets of the Boronofon. The violent explosion and vibration distorted the deck and the turret, and at the same time jammed the rotating mechanism of the two turrets. This undoubtedly reduced the pressure on the Meiningen.

Then, the Meiningen’s performance began to get better. In the fifteenth round of the salvo, three shells were thrown on the hull of the Boronophon, one of which went into the rear wheel of the hull. The engine room, along with the violent explosion, was blown to pieces next to the entire cabin, and unfortunately, next to the engine room was the fuel used by the generator room! Under the action of high temperature, the gasoline is evaporated in a large amount. When the gasoline vapor in the air reaches a certain density, a little spark turns the fuel tank into a huge burning gasoline bomb!

The violent explosion not only destroyed the ship’s propulsion equipment, but also cut off the fuel supply to the motor compartment. Without electricity, there would be no way to put out a fire. As a result, the fire began to spread unrestricted in the hull, and the subsequent martyrdom even blasted several large holes in the bottom of the ship. In the end, the Boronofo was forced to hang up the signal~www.novelhall.com ~ Indicates that you cannot participate in the battle and are ready to exit the battle.

And shortly after the signal was hung up, several big explosions suddenly occurred inside the hull of this old dreadnought ship! A huge mushroom cloud rose to an altitude of hundreds of meters. Countless fragments and parts were thrown into the air. There were more than 800 Royal Navy officers and soldiers on this warship, but only single-digit personnel survived. No one knows what happened. It is generally believed that the fire from the engine room spread to the ammunition depot in the middle of the hull, which caused the ammunition detonation to explode. As for the real cause, it was hidden in the rolling waves of the Norwegian Sea.

"Is it sinking?" Not only did the British feel shocked, even the German naval officers and soldiers on the Meiningen felt a bit too much. How could it be a battleship on the opposite side that it died like this? ? This war is too simple, right?

"Are all British warships crispy?"

"It must have been God who used our hands to cook the British."

"Well, everyone, this is just the beginning! Today, we will definitely put our name in the annals of history. In order to let the empire and history remember us, we must make persistent efforts!" Major General Maover has seen the world, according to his words Say, if a British warship sinks inexplicably, don't be surprised, just keep working hard and prepare to fight another one.

"Your Excellency Commander, the Borono Fon has also sunk." Lieutenant General Duff said to Jericho with a complex expression.
