At this time, the rangefinder on the top of the Barlem was covered by a black smoke, and Gneisenau could not be found far away! At the same time, Gneisenau also re-adjusted its course, and the queen who fired according to the original parameters naturally shot all the precious shells into the water...

At this time, Major Sinclair naturally didn't know that Barlem in the distance could no longer help him contain the terrifying behemoth in front of him. The reason why Raidel pulled away was to tolerate the impermanence to seize the launch position in front of him. This is the time to wait! The smoke released by the British light cruiser provided cover for the Germans! Although it is temporary, it is enough for Gneisenau to solve the immediate trouble!

Eight 350mm guns with four turrets slowly leveled out, aiming at the dense smoke area on the sea at an almost flat angle. The gunner also delegated the power to each turret. At this distance, the main rangefinder and complicated fire control equipment are no longer needed. The rangefinders and sighting equipment of each turret can effectively attack the close range. The surface goal.

A figure quickly pierced through the smoke, and almost shot past Gneisenau’s turret 3! Because of the smoke problem, the British also had a halo when they came out. They found that after they passed through the smoke, the distance between their opponents seemed a little far away. But this is not a big problem. For Dublin, which has a speed of up to 24 knots, it will soon be able to get closer. but…….

But what is going on when this suddenly points to your main turret? Hasn't the Gneisenau been shooting Barlem all the time?

"Hurry up and release the smoke, speed up, and avoid this guy!" The Dublin captain yelled frantically, but unfortunately it was too late. At this time, the distance between the two sides was only 4,500 meters. If you get closer, Dublin. There was a chance to strike a wave of threatening lightning strikes, but because the distance was a little farther, not only could not threaten the opponent, but instead sent his head under the opponent's main gun!

At the same time, the No. 3 turret ejected two fire dragons of tens of meters long. The huge fireball was crushed all the way with an aura of destruction. A few seconds later, the two shells almost fell into the water against the mast of the Dublin. Two huge water jets rose into the air, and after a while, the falling water wet the entire deck.

"God bless!" The Dublin hastily fired out 4 torpedoes and began to escape into the smoke. The slender hull quickly turned, leaving a narrow projection for the No. 3 turret, but exposed its side. No. 2 turret!

The two barrels retreated sharply. This time the Dublin was not so lucky. Two rounds of 635kg semi-armor-piercing projectiles pierced the Dublin’s hull like a giant's spear. If an armor-piercing projectile hits a non-armor defense zone, it may pierce a hole. Therefore, when facing a light cruiser at close range, Gneisenau chose a semi-armor-piercing projectile with a certain armor-piercing capability but a larger charge.

A shell directly tore the armor belt in the middle of the Dublin hull, and effortlessly got into the circular boiler compartment. After the explosion of 30 kg of tnt explosives, it detonated the boiler in a high-risk and high-pressure working state, causing a series of loud noises. Passing through the middle of the hull, boilers were ignited like bombs, and the slender hull was constantly shaking and twisting in the explosion. The second method shells hit the position slightly forward and exploded above the 6-inch artillery magazine position. The violent explosion caused the shrapnel to generate extremely high kinetic energy. They easily penetrated the horizontal deck, and the flames and shrapnel poured into the ammunition. In the library, the fate of this poor light cruiser was doomed!

Boom, accompanied by a loud noise like thunder, the entire battleship seemed to be lifted out of the water by a violent explosion! It seems that in the air, the warship broke into two parts, and the bow part of the ship sank rapidly. After struggling for several minutes, the stern slipped into the sea unwillingly. The shock wave generated by the entire explosion quickly spread to the surroundings, blowing off a lot of smoke that permeated the sea. The speed of the explosion was so fast that most of the people on the Dublin could not escape. In just a few minutes, more than 300 crew members were sent to the altar of war.

"Evacuate, evacuate immediately!" Sinclair's encounter with the Dublin could not help but a cold sweat, because the Gneisenau's position was shifted, and Impermanence also failed to obtain a good lightning strike position, and threw it hastily. After four torpedoes were released, the cruiser could only leave the battlefield before the smoke cleared. When Impermanence began to evacuate, it also meant that the battle had nothing to do with him anymore, and the remaining torpedoes and smoke cans were not enough to carry out such an assault again.

"Well, let's cheer up and deal with the British queens. If we are lucky, they will soon be unable to hold on!" As Riddle imagined, during this period of time, Shane The Horst finally delivered a high-quality attack!

An armor-piercing projectile easily tore open the ordinary steel plate on the upper deck of the Queen Elizabeth battleship, and then hit the Queen's gun mount! At a distance of 15500 meters ~lightnovelpub.net~ the inch steel plate can't stop Skoda's 350mm heavy artillery attack, but the only flaw is that the projectile exploded before the projectile completely penetrated the armor. The powerful explosive force still blasted through the Queen's gun mount, but the killing effect was much smaller. At least the ammunition depot was not ignited the first time!

"Our gun mount seems to have been penetrated." Seeing the billowing smoke and flames under the No. 2 main turret, an officer said in terror. At this time, a fire dragon is spreading upwards and downwards along the bombing channel at the same time! The British soldiers in the turret immediately closed the fire door leading to the turret, saving the warship temporarily. But there is no way for the flame that is about to rush into the ammunition depot, because the British warship has only one fire door!

The cannonballs and propellant packs in the conveying channel were continuously ignited, and the violent explosion engulfed flames and debris falling from the air. British naval officers and men in the ammunition store tried to put out the fire with fire extinguishers. Unfortunately, it did not succeed. At this critical moment, an officer resolutely opened the sea valve and flooded the ammunition depot with a large amount of sea water! And this method is undoubtedly a disaster for those who are still in the bottom cabin of the hull!

The surging sea water instantly poured into the lowest propellant depot. The unsuspecting personnel inside were submerged along with tons of propellant. Then there is the upper shell magazine. In a short period of time, the Queen Elizabeth-class battleship has increased its displacement by thousands of tons! Fortunately, the ammunition depot finally did not explode. Of course, the second turret is completely finished.
