The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 1010: The Fight Between Quasi-Fearless II

Slide 1010

The fire flashed, and a huge bullet hole appeared on the forehead of a single 9.2-inch turret. This shell eventually collided with the body of the 234MM artillery. With a loud noise, the 30-ton body and shells directly turned into A ball of flame! After killing all the personnel in the turret, the fire dragons rushed towards the ammunition rack behind the gun and the lower dressing room. Then, a fire door temporarily saved the warship, but the ammunition rack behind the turret exploded. But the entire turret was blown to pieces like it was sitting on an erupting volcano!

The larger the two German warships, the easier it was. In less than ten minutes, the Grand Duke Ferdinand had thrown five 12-inch shells into the opponent’s face, and the armored cruiser St. Georg was about to hit it. The 240MM shells are piled up. I have to say that to be able to make such a hit requires not only technology, but also some luck. The hapless Edward VII on the opposite side has not hit the opponent once with its main gun so far!

"This is a one-sided slaughter. We leisurely shot the British warships in the distance, just like shooting a target. We didn't have to worry about the firepower of the other party. The British warships were slow and lacking precision, and a few rounds of shells were scattered. Around us, the closest one was 700 meters away. We just sent a round of shells to the opponent from a long distance, until the opponent was riddled with holes!" An Austro-Hungarian Navy after the war The officer recalled the situation like this.

And just as the defeat of Edward VII has been revealed, the Japanese destroyer forces are also a man. Four 600-ton destroyers braved the Austro-Hungarian fleet to launch a wave of desperate lightning strikes, but this wave of attacks was destined to be useless. The six destroyers of the Austro-Hungarian fleet formed the first line of defense. The two sides shot frantically at a relative speed of 45 knots, just like light cavalry wielding a saber. After one destroyer was beaten into a fireball by three Austro-Hungarian destroyers, the other two destroyers fell under the attack of the armored cruiser St. Georg’s 150MM secondary guns and 88MM anti-lightning guns, only 2 The destroyer hurriedly fired 4 torpedoes, one of which sank as soon as it entered the water due to a mechanical failure...

Naturally, the remaining three torpedoes could not achieve any results in front of the defensive Austro-Hungarian fleet. After easily avoiding the three torpedoes, the eight 240mm guns of the armored cruiser St. Georg were aimed at The evacuated Japanese destroyer fought fiercely. Even if it evacuated at a speed of 30 knots, the Japanese destroyer would definitely not be able to escape the shells!

An artillery shell fell into the sea less than 10 meters away from a destroyer. With a dull loud noise, a water column of more than 50 meters rose into the sky. The explosives exploded in the water and produced terrifying high temperature and high pressure bubbles. The detonation produced a huge impact after the explosion. The side of the entire battleship was hit hard by a sledgehammer. Several cracks of more than one meter long appeared directly on the slender hull like a knife. With the influx of a large amount of water, the cracks expanded rapidly. After hundreds of tons of seawater entered, the ship had already tilted seriously.

After a while, a 240MM shell that hit directly ended the destroyer’s struggle. The shell directly hit the front of the hull, and then hit the bottom of the hull all the way down. A flame of fire shot up into the sky, and the destroyer looked like Being decapitated, the entire bow quickly separated from the hull, and the second half continued to advance due to the huge inertia, which led to more influx of water. In less than a minute, the ship was in a huge The whirlpool sank to the bottom of the sea!

At this time, the Japanese destroyers finally began to adapt to the cruel naval battles in Europe. Small warships had to use their tails to make ships when the capital ships were not strong enough. When retreating, did they not pull the smoke screen to find death? ! With the help of the smoke canister, the last destroyer finally managed to get rid of the enemy’s tracking, and after a wave of lightning strikes failed to send off three destroyers, the battle in the second half of the fleet was completely collapsed... .

Edward VII finally couldn't hold on, the main armor belt at the sidestring of the hull had been opened at least 3 holes, and the light armor protection area at the fore and aft of the hull was penetrated no less than 6 times! The entire watertight compartment on the warring side has been almost destroyed. Regarding the division of watertight compartments, the UK is generally not fearless, let alone a fearless ship. However, the 16,000-ton warship has already flooded 3,000 tons of water. Up to now, it can only be called a miracle that this warship can float on the water! So that even the only tail gun that is still intact can't fire, because the tilt angle is too large and the gun elevation angle is not enough....

At this time, the British warship cannot be balanced with water, otherwise the ship will sink directly... "Let the destroyer go over and send it to the bottom of the sea. We have another goal to clean up." Rear Admiral Vilennik said, looking at the battleship that had become a pile of floating ruins in the distance.

The current situation seems to be very good. After the Edward VII was blown into three stages by two torpedoes and sank into the sea, the current situation is three-on-one. According to a certain theory on the Internet, the dog won! This is indeed the case. When two Radecky-class battleships and an armored cruiser aimed their muzzles at the last Lord Nelson~lightnovelpub.net~ the battle situation in this sub-battlefield has been completely inclined to Austria. The Hungarian fleet.

The flames of the three battleships completely enveloped the Lord Nelson in the distance. From time to time, there were bursts of violent explosions on the more than 160-meter-long hull. The fire and smoke had completely obscured the battleship, so that the Austro-Hungarian fleet The rate of fire had to be lowered so that the ships could recognize the water column that exploded when the shells fired by each other fell so that they could be corrected.

If nothing else, the battleship Lord Nelson will never survive 15 minutes! But at this moment, a series of water jets suddenly appeared around the battleship Radecki, and the water jets nearly a hundred meters high made Major General Vilennik feel a bit of fear! "This TM is properly a 15-inch naval gun!" When he pointed the telescope at the huge figure in the distance, he realized that Lord Nelson could not die temporarily! Because the battleship Hyuga has aimed its muzzle at itself!

"I wipe! The San Esteban will not be over, will it?" A terrible thought came to the mind of Rear Admiral Velennik. "No, no battleship exploded just now."
