"The command tower found that the first reconnaissance fleet was 249 yards away … 176 yards!"

"Close to 70-degree horizontal head?" Betty muttered something and refused to believe her ears. "What the hell did Selim do? Did he abandon the German ship that lost its high speed and maximize its speed?"
"Betty, my old friend, don’t be surprised that Germany has the best damaged pipe team and the best damaged pipe design institute. Even if the speed of the German ship dropped by 2 knots, even if the Emile turret at the bow of the ship was destroyed, the power cabin did not suffer too much loss. It is still possible to force ventilation conditions to run out of 26 knots again! And you have been delayed for too long because you have to bypass the destroyer line and wait for the tireless and queen Elizabeth to return! "
Wang Haidi won the bet, and he blocked Betty’s fast fleet non-stop. Even though Betty had foreseen the disaster and turned northward at a small angle, Wang Haidi still grabbed the advantage of 65 degrees. Although the observation conditions were the first reconnaissance fleet was in an absolute disadvantage, the number of main guns in Germany was 422!
At 19: 00, Betty started the battle of the Luzov without pulling out the parallel battle lines. The huge body of the patrol shook violently. Everything tilted to the left, and a large-caliber shell roared towards the British like a runaway horse.
Although wearing earplugs, the eardrum is still dull and numb, which does not soothe the roaring ears. When the artillery is out of the gun, it is orange and printed in the blue eye pupil of Wang Haidi through the observation hole of the small commander tower.
"Order the left rudder of each ship of the first reconnaissance fleet to maintain and expand the angular advantage of the horizontal team." Wang Haidi loosened his grip on the palm of his hand and comforted. "Since it is necessary to spell out the balance of quantity at high speed, let’s reduce the speed to maintain the shooting accuracy and fight to the death!"
The first round of artillery test was over, and the error of artillery test was a little outrageous due to the interference of the sun’s rays. However, Wang Haidi was still patient enough. When the British equipped their first super-feared ship hunting seat with a primary manual moving track computer, the German Admiralty once had a debate, and the conclusion was that Germany did not need it-the excellent German artillery staff was the best ballistic computer of this era.
The fact did not betray Wang Haidi’s expectation that after three rounds of main gun and half gun shooting, the first reconnaissance fleet still harvested the first near-missing bullet even though the sun’s rays blinded German observers.
At 25: 00, the gunner of the first reconnaissance fleet gradually got better and better after repeatedly adjusting the shooting angle. The first round of shelling of the Devlinger 1.
The first hit was made at a distance of 3 yards. The shell of the Tiger was shot at the bow of the ship.
Tiger patrol was originally a single patrol of the lion-class patrol No.4 because of the great changes in the layout of the hull, boiler and main gun, but it was born out of the lion-class patrol, and its protection can still be defined by its thinness.
Tiger’s 9-inch 229-mm front turret armor 35-mm armor-piercing projectile is a slag armor-piercing projectile in front of it, which tears the Tiger only one inch thick. The first layer of horizontal armor almost grazes the Tiger propellant loading room and drills deep into the hull.
A minute later, the tireless encountered the tiger, and the fate was similar. The same turret was shot, but the position was different. The tireless was shot in the Y turret of the stern, and the tireless had no luck with the tiger.
In two consecutive dogfights, the tireless power system suffered heavy losses. According to the usual practice, the tireless can announce its withdrawal from the battle, but Betty stopped it.
The first reconnaissance fleet of the fast fleet was in a delicate position on the 4 th, and the number of main guns was guaranteed. After careful consideration, David Betty decided to stay on the tireless, but he didn’t want to know the instructions, and finally the tireless was ruined.
The German 35mm armor-piercing projectile was easily torn apart, and the armor belt of the Tireless was less than three inches, which continuously penetrated through the thin inclined dome and only one inch explosion-proof compartment outside the water ammunition depot, and drilled into the depth of the ammunition depot.
A violent explosion occurred in the stern part of the ship Boom-Tireless, and the turret water and ammunition depot was detonated. Iron, seawater, smoke, orange fireworks and heavy turrets were lifted tens of meters high together.
After the explosion of the ammunition depot, four adjacent propellant depots couldn’t be lucky. The continuous explosion caused a terrible crack in the horizontal armor with only one inch thickness near the turret of the tireless. The blood-red light and frightening temperature came to the deck through the crack. Finally, the position of the main turret of the warship patrol of the tireless broke into two parts and sank into the sea in less than two minutes. Finally, 17 of the five crew members were rescued.
After the sinking of the indefatigable, the luck of the Deutschland stopped here. A 12-inch shell of the New Zealand patrol hit the Deutschland violently and once again covered the stern of the Deutschland. Things are not over yet. The accumulated resentment of the Deutschland seems to have affected the Gu Mao Qi. At 27: 00, a 15-inch heavy armor-piercing projectile of the Queen Elizabeth hit two main turrets in the midsection of the Mao Qi, and the No.2 chimney along the unsinkable ship once again faced the test of life and death!
The second gun Chapter 10 Unfortunately, he doesn’t belong to Britain (2)
Chapter 10 It’s a pity that he doesn’t belong to Britain II
The First Reconnaissance Fleet fought the fast fleet from the northern part of Helgolan Bay to the coastline of jutland. The Royal Princess took the lead in sinking the horn of Lebanon, and the Ska Gerakl Strait played the battle of Australia again. After the battle broke through the battle line, the war began to spread to the southwest coastline of Norway. No one knows who it was for a second.
At 27: 00, the first reconnaissance fleet and the fast fleet tried their best to move northward. The road was full of cold and dry air in the early spring of the North Sea, choking smoke and the smell of coal smoke, and the unique tragic and desolate feeling of the sea.
The poor tiger was hit continuously, and the hit position in this round was two meters from the sea level.
For the world, the defense of a warship’s side waterline is the most important thing, but the protection data of Tiger’s 3-inch horizontal deck, 5-inch watertight bulkhead, 9-inch turret front armor and 1-inch commander tower front armor are terrible, and the protection force of the side waterline main armor can be imagined.
35 mm armor-piercing projectile penetrated Tiger’s 9-inch waterline with main armor. There was a waterline in front of the armor-piercing projectile, and the power cabin was divided into one-inch inclined domes.
In order to improve the survivability of warships, the capital ships will lay a layer of dome armor with boundary leakage from the waterline. When the side armor is penetrated and the hull enters the water, the two ends of this layer are lower than the waterline and the top is higher than the waterline. The dome armor will suppress the water inflow. This layer of dome armor usually includes inclined dome armor and horizontal dome armor. Although the strength of British capital ships’ dome armor is limited, they are still counted as side armor and horizontal armor by the British who are good at playing paper games.
Making up the inclined dome armor can’t stop the pace of 35 armor-piercing projectiles at all. Seeing that the armor-piercing projectiles are like a broken bamboo, it is inevitable that the Tiger will be hit hard. However, it is ironic that something happened-this is a dumb bomb!
Tiger escaped temporarily, but this standard displacement is over 234 tons, and the firepower is strong. All officers and men know that they are in big trouble-because the Germans have shot across!
A minute ago, the German patrol accurately hit it at a distance of 15 or 4 yards. The cheapest place in the world is not full of traces of cutting corners. battle cruiser was penetrated by a 35 mm armor-piercing projectile, and the armored belt, sloping dome and explosion-proof compartment of the ammunition depot were finally set on fire.
Fourteen thousand meters away, the lookout of Mao Qi saw an amazing scene. At first, a mass of black dense fog iron, powder and orange flame rushed out from the side of the ship. After a few seconds, the deep part of the ship exploded more violently. The whole warship jumped in the sea, so a large piece of green algae and shellfish attached to the side waterline had a glimpse.
Hundreds of tons of turrets were lifted, and the smoke and flames spread to the horizontal deck. Occasionally, several sailors were thrown off the deck by violent shaking warships. When breathing, a huge steel ship with a standard displacement of 15 tons was torn apart by the impact of the ammunition depot, and thousands of tons of seawater surged in.
Fortunately, there were not many officers and men who witnessed this scene. The British did not discover the sinking of the Endurance at the end of the team for the first time, that is, in Germany, except for the distance-measuring sergeant near the water tower, the watchtower lookout and a few cooks, most sailors stuck to their posts and were unable to do anything. They hardly knew that the first reconnaissance fleet was once again honored.
"general, this is the best humiliation for the royal navy, which boasts its natural enemies!"
Commander intends that Chief Staff Officer Singer Lyle can guess more or less that the main guns and ammunition of each ship of the First Reconnaissance Fleet have generally dropped by 30 pieces per door, while the number of main shells of the British is still considerable because of the advantage of the former division.
In a fierce naval battle, even considering the gun test, angle correction and smoke wall interference, it doesn’t take 20 minutes to complete 30 rounds of shelling. After all, the imperial caliber is 35 mm, 45 times the diameter, and the ideal firing rate of the main gun is also three rounds a minute. Of course, the first reconnaissance fleet needs to keep some self-defense ammunition. The patrol team can maintain 20 rounds of shelling at the end of this long-term battle.
The commander accurately controlled and calculated the delivery. When the commander of the fast fleet "unreasonably" gave up the advantage of crossing the line close to 70 degrees, he ordered the fleet to turn to the left rudder. Actually, because the circumscribed angle is small, the first reconnaissance fleet can say that the advantage of crossing the line can be maintained for several minutes, and the fleet can enjoy all the gains during this period. When the British desperately pulled out to the battle line and could give full play to the advantages of observing and aiming against the sun, the real confrontation was over. Because the ammunition was exhausted, the first reconnaissance fleet could turn from retreat by accumulating circumscribed angles.
The general’s plan was almost flawless, but the feedback was not satisfactory. He risked his ammunition and took the advantage of the horizontal line. As a result, he only sank an old tireless, which made Singer feel a little sorry.
"It’s a pity that the goddess of luck doesn’t have our side!"
Wang Haidi also has some regrets. After the completion of the battle line crossing, this arduous naval battle was no longer in his sight. The weak forces sank two British war cruises and hit a fast battleship. The results were brilliant enough for him to avoid the post-war emperor William’s self-attack, which allowed him to gain more freedom of movement. However, Wang Haidi still made him turn north into Betty’s fast fleet. In the last battle, he had already focused on the layout after the big naval battle. Wang Haidi had many ideas, and it seemed that he was crazy to keep the Admiralty conservative. The first thing to remove was the British war patrol!
At 29: 00, it was the seventeenth round of artillery retreat, and the word "retreat" had been lingering in the Adam’s apple for a long time. When Wang Haidi waved and invited the seaman to prepare for the order, exciting news came from the watchtower.
