Chapter 1114: The Sword Deflects 1

With the issuance of the fire order, the six Bavarian-class battleships of the second and third battleship detachments opened fire first! What's more cleverly is that the German fleet was on the west side of the British fleet at this time, and in the afternoon, it was just backing against the sun, which was a big trouble for the British to measure the distance!&1t;/p>

At this time, the Bernie Squadron did not dare to continue rushing, nor did he dare to sail in the same direction with the German High Seas Fleet, because if they sailed in the same direction, the two sides were almost in the best firefighting situation, and the British warships behind had not yet kept up. At this time, the firefighting was almost equal to 5 Revenge-class battleships and the entire High Seas Fleet. I'll ask you, what do you plan to die!&1t;/p>

Five Revenge-class battleships pulled out gray-black smoke, and the destroyers following them also opened cigarette cans. Under the blowing of the sea breeze, a wall of fog gradually formed and blocked the side of the Bernie Squadron! However, although the movement was fast enough, it took time for the smoke to dissipate. With the help of the aircraft, many German warships still found the window for shooting.&1t;/p>

The three Bavarian-class battleships of the Third Battleship Detachment opened fire first. With the help of a 12-meter rangefinder located at the top of the mast, 12 huge turrets aimed at the revenge-class battleship that was turning. Fire dragons that were more than ten meters long spewed out, and shot shells weighing more than 800 kilograms to the British fleet 15 kilometers away!&1t;/p>

Although both sides headed almost in the opposite direction, although there were smoke screens to block it, this time, the three newly commissioned Bavarian-class battleships performed quite well. During the fourth round of shooting, Brunswick first caught the target, and in the sixth round of half-volley, a 15-inch shell hit the gun seat of the No. 2 of the Royal Oak battleship! However, how can the 1O-inch shell be blocked against the strongest armor-piercing shell in the battle? The shell accidentally penetrated the 1O-inch armor, leaving an oval bullet hole on the heavy armor plate, and then hit the dressing room under the turret!&1t;/p>

Boom! With a loud bang, a dazzling flame gushed out from the bottom of the No. 2 turret. The turret weighing hundreds of tons seemed to be pushed away from the cannon position by a strong explosion! The thick smoke and flames pushed open the cabin at the tail of the cannon and tore the entire armor plate open. The entire warship kept trembling in the violent explosion, making people suspect that perhaps the next moment, the warship might explode and sink!&1t;/p>

However, in the end, the battleship benefited from the complete and reliable water injection system. When the sea valve at the bottom of the No. 2 ammunition depot was opened, thousands of tons of sea water poured into the ammunition depot, which finally avoided the explosion of the ammunition depot. However, the surging flames continued to spread along the pipeline and the cabin aisle. This gun was very good, but it seemed to be a little bit worse...&1t;/p>

Weimar and Deshao also made a hit. Weimar threw two shells on the Revenge during the eighth round of half-volley. One shell drilled into the artillery and completely destroyed two 6-inch cannons. Another shell hit the flue in the lower part of a chimney. After killing one-third of the flue, it cut off two steam pipes. Deshao slapped a shell on the forehead of the No. 1 turret of Desperate. Due to the angle problem, the shell did not penetrate, but cut off a 15-inch cannon barrel.&1t;/p>

"The vanguard troops don't care about revenge. Turn eastwards two prayer points immediately. Before Jericho comes up, stop them!" After the prince looked at the Revenge-class battleship that was gradually losing its figure in the smoke, he immediately ordered his opponent that after the Revenge-class battleship chose to run away, the situation changed and the German fleet would be beneficial to the German fleet. If you work harder, you can stop Jericho's subsequent fleet. At this time, the battle line of the large fleet that is more than ten kilometers long has not been completely turned around, and the firepower in the second half cannot be evaporated! This is a very good opportunity!&1t;/p>

"Order the Sixth Light Cruiser Team to lead the destroyer team to launch lightning strikes immediately, and telegraph the second and fourth light cruisers teams, so that they can immediately launch lightning strikes on the German high seas fleet at any cost to buy time for the large fleet." Looking at the battle line that the high seas fleet had already pulled out in the distance, Jericho felt a chill and rushed directly from his feet to his forehead! The distance between the two sides was only 20 kilometers. At this time, the large fleet must not directly hit him. The only option is to immediately open the distance and wait for the arrival of subsequent warships. And this takes time! The other party's flight is much faster than himself!&1t;/p>

Led by the flagship Cardiff, the Sixth Light Cruiser Detachment bravely rushed towards the German fleet in the distance. This time, they were concentratedly fired by two German battleship teams! The six battleships had a total of 48 15-inch guns and nearly 5o 15omm guns, and a larger number of 1o5mm guns, and a dense fire net on the sea like a volcano spray. Water columns of dozens of meters thick rose one after another on the sea. Even though the British released the smoke screen, relying on the nearly covered strike, the Sixth Light Cruiser Detachment paid a heavy price in less than 5 minutes after receiving the enemy!&1t;/p>

A 15-inch and a half-piercing shell landed on the left string of the light cruiser Calypso in the second position. After the shell entered the water, it did not explode. After the wind hood was broken, the entire shell rushed towards the target like a torpedo, and hit the poor cruiser 6 meters under the water. It easily tore open the fragile hull of the battleship, and then the boiler bin, and finally stabbed into the power compartment next to it! With a loud bang, a large amount of water vapor rose into the air with flames and smoke. Hundreds of tons of debris were sprinkled into the air by a violent explosion. Even Jericho, who was several kilometers away, could feel the explosion!&1t;/p>

Crys was the second victim. He finally rushed to a place less than 8 kilometers away from the German warship. After rushing to release 4 torpedoes, he planned to turn in. However, all the sub-aircraft fire of Saxony and Baden was concentrated on the unlucky light cruiser at the same time. The 6-inch shells crashed straight towards the sea like a wall! Accompanied by a series of explosions, the stern strings of the entire warship were knocked like sieves. Even because of the excessive steering, with the violent collision between the hull and the seawater, more seawater poured into it. The entire warship quickly tilted to the left. When the stern servo cabin was smashed by dense 6-inch shells, the ship finally floated on the sea surface unwillingly and was finally sent to the bottom of the sea by a driven destroyer.&1t;/p>
