Chapter 1291

After more than ten seconds, the left string of the ship quickly sank down, and then the tall bridge was shot directly on the sea. The violent impact shattered the superstructure and chimney on the deck! Afterwards, with a loud noise, the hull suffered fatal injuries in the middle of the hull due to too much water. Finally, it broke into two pieces directly under the action of its own weight. In just ten seconds, the ship disappeared from the sea, and the vortex generated when it sank directly sucked more than 80% of the crew members into the seabed!

"This is my happiest hunt!" After the first kill, the Gneisenau rushed into the Japanese fleet like a bloodthirsty lion. The high speed of 20 knots was only 9 knots. It's a nightmare for the average speed of the Japanese fleet! They couldn't dodge, and what's more sad is that less than 5 minutes have passed since the start of the war, and Kanji Kato in the distance didn't even know what happened behind!

"What happened behind?" The flames and thick smoke rising on the sea in the distance alarmed the Japanese fleet 4 kilometers in front of the fleet. (When sailing in the dark, the fleet ahead will shorten the distance to the transport ship.) The orange flame is as bright as blood under the sunset glow, heralding a very bad start!

"Sir, the Germans are here, and the blood donation earl is here!" a subordinate said with the telegram just received. (For the origin of Su Xiong's nickname, you can read the previous article, the chapters where the Indian Ocean Squadron first intercepted the British transport fleet.)

"Asshole! These Germans, a bunch of demons!" Kato Kanji's most worried thing finally happened. The Germans still came out. Originally, he thought that the Germans would choose to shrink from the shock of the two Japanese battleships, but they still underestimated the Germans' fighting spirit!

What made Kanji Kato even more surprised was that this time, the German fleet actually chose to dispatch an attack in the evening. Was it planning to fight a night battle? The surprise of the night battle is too great, and even to some extent the two sides can count the dice to determine the outcome. And the Germans dare to fight!

"You really belong to you." Kanji Kato closed his eyes, calmed down some fluctuating moods, and issued the first command of the battle: "All destroyers, follow the capital ship to prepare for the enemy!" And accompanied by the command The 2 Japanese fast battleships with 2 accompanying destroyers began to turn. They are now more than 10 kilometers away from the battlefield (because they have to bypass the fleet.) At the current speed, considering the acceleration process, It takes about 20 minutes to arrive. (Counting the time for turning and realigning the formation.) After the attack order is issued, the only thing Kanji Kato can do before entering the battlefield is to pray for the transport ships!

"Should we disband the fleet?" the officer on the side asked.

"Let them sail west at full speed without disbanding the fleet." Kanji Kato frowned, and rejected his subordinate's suggestion. This is a dilemma. Disbanding the fleet can naturally reduce losses, but after the fleet is disbanded at night, how do you gather? What if there are assault ships around? Without disbanding the fleet? In 20 minutes, hehe, maybe these two German fast battleships can kill super gods? The Japanese transport ship at the back is as weak as a lamb facing a lion!

In fact, the two German fast battleships really fought too smoothly in these 20 minutes.... The main and secondary guns of the Gneisenau, which rushed into the queue of Japanese transport ships at a speed of 20 knots, were fully fired! Eight 350MM main guns and 14 150MM secondary guns and even 88MM anti-lightning guns were used on the entire ship. More than 30 guns of various calibers were spitting flames at several targets, even for the purpose of aiming. The anti-lightning gun also fired a flare from time to time!

"The German battleship in the distance is like a demon with magma and flames flowing down and down in Western legends (Barlow Flame?) Its shells are like deadly long swords, with the breath of death when they wave their hands, Yu Yi Instantly terminated a transport ship of thousands of tons. This warship was like a volcano erupting on the sea. The shells fired by the artillery quickly formed waves of fire and spread to the surroundings. Those who were in the range of the shells had nothing To fight back, I could only try to escape while praying that the demon didn't notice him." After the battle, a Japanese captain wrote in his diary with lingering fear.

"The second goal!"

"Now it's the third one!" The captain of the Gneisenau excitedly looked at the Japanese transport ship that was beaten into a huge torch by the 150MM secondary battery 8 kilometers away. The German naval officers and soldiers on the entire battleship shot all the Japanese targets that they could see like crazy. A heavy shell was raised from the ammunition bay, and a pile of shells would soon be piled up next to the gun position, especially those 88MM deck guns. After only attacking for ten minutes, there was a pile of shells next to the gun position. The bullet shell of the ground.

"When the rate of fire is the fastest, every minute, we probably tilt more than 12 tons of shells toward the Japanese fleet!" After the war, the gunner of the Gneisenau said proudly.

"We must save them!" The captain of another Japanese destroyer Urakaze at the tail of the line glared at the Gneisenau in the distance! (In World War I, Japan really had a destroyer called this name~lightnovelpub.net~ However, how can a destroyer with only one 4.7-inch gun and three 3.1-inch guns be a German fast battleship?

"We rushed to kill them with torpedoes!" The destroyer Pufeng has 4 torpedo tubes, which means that there is only one chance of attack.

In any case, the moon, fire, water, wood, and gold training methods of small Japanese navy warships still have some effect. (This Japanese one week is calculated by Qi Yao. This describes daily training without rest days) The training level of the Japanese destroyer fleet is still very high. It can be seen from the response of Pufeng.

This 87-meter-long boat made full use of the dense smoke and flames of the concentrated ships for cover. It moved fast on the sea at dusk like the finest assassins, when they explored from the side of a heavily damaged transport ship. When I was born, I was only 5 kilometers away from Gneisenau!

"It's now! The torpedo is ready, rush up! The torpedo is launched at 2500 meters, 4 rounds!" The captain of the Pufeng thought he had found the opportunity to rush out of the shadow quickly, like a cheetah leaping toward its prey!
