"I found him!" The destroyer Dwarf discovered the target. At this time, the destroyer was passing the side string of the Ferdinand at a high speed of 28 knots, and three 18-inch searchlights accurately locked the target!

"Boom!" A series of 75mm and 150mm shells roared out of the Ferdinand side strings. Obviously, the giant also discovered the dwarf who was doing something by his side. The side string cannon was crazily pouring bullets against the target with a displacement of only 850 tons! At this time, the distance between the two sides was only 2,300 meters!

"Aim at the destroyer with all firepower! Pay attention to dodging the torpedo!" The Austro-Hungarian captain on the Ferdinand was at the throat at this time. He did not expect that his start would be so bad! The British used more than half of his power to deal with it! At this time, he did not even dare to counterattack the British battleships in the distance, but only wanted to use the dense firepower to kill or force the nearby British destroyers away!

Bang! Accompanied by a series of crisp cracking sounds, the shrapnel produced by the explosion of the high-explosive bomb instantly smashed the searchlights on the Dwarf destroyer. Ferdinand also fired a series of flares, and the strong light source enveloped the unlucky destroyer. At this time, the British discovered that they were too close to this giant beast!

"Hurry up, let's go!" However, when the Dwarf was about to retreat, a shell weighing more than 400 kilograms determined the fate of the poor destroyer. The shell directly knocked out half of the stern of the Dwarf like a giant shark! The violent explosion blew the stern servo and propeller into pieces! A large amount of sea water poured in from the stern, the entire warship lost its power, and a serious tail tilt occurred! Although it was still spinning on the sea surface, it was almost certain that this guy was finished.

Another destroyer, Gem, was also unable to escape the fate of being destroyed. The Zrini, who was ignored by the British, aimed the artillery at the unlucky British destroyer. When the guy was planning to avoid the fierce side string firepower of Ferdinand, Zrini's 150mm cannon fired a series of shells. The side string artillery and superstructure of Gem became riddled with the explosion of the high-explosive bomb. Finally, a 150mm shell hit the torpedo waiting to be fired. A second later, the British destroyer turned into a ball of fire.

However, relying on the destroyer's sacrificing guidance, the three British battleships still achieved some results. One 12-inch shell hit the front of the No. 1 turret of Ferdinand. Although it was not penetrated due to angle problems, it still exploded a 12-inch l45 cannon into both ends and another shell hit the artillery. Although the British had many problems with armor-piercing shells, the distance was too close. A large hole was opened in the armor belt of the artillery corridor. After a violent explosion, two 150mm cannons were destroyed. At least two shells were hit on the superstructure, and a raging fire was also burned on the deck. However, while the Ferdinand was beaten, the Zrini Quasi-Fearless and the Red Beard armored cruiser also pointed the muzzle at the British!

"Fight the most arrogant!" Zrini aimed six 12-inch l45 guns at the Agamemnon, who was tilting the shells wildly. The transmission of this battleship was indeed not covered. In the distance, the number of British fleets was the most obvious, and Zrini would naturally not let go of this most dazzling and dangerous target. Without a sharp shot, 6 12-inch armor-piercing bullets flew to the target in the distance!

In this battle, the high-fire rate advantage of German heavy artillery was fully demonstrated in close-range combat at night. In less than a minute, Zrini shot three rounds of full-scattered shots! This means that within one minute, more than 7 tons of shells flew towards the target, and the distance between the two sides was only 7,500 meters!

The power of the hardened armor-piercing projectile weighing more than 400 kilograms is indeed powerful! In the first round of volleys, a shell hit the 10-inch armor belt on the front of the Agamemnon turret. 12 kilometers away, this thickness of armor still hopes to block such a violent attack, but now, haha, 7500 meters! If you add another 2 inches, it will be useless! The shell easily tore the heavy armor like a hot knife cutting butter, and then hit the servo of a 12-inch cannon!

A huge ball of flame gushed out from the front of the main turret of Agamemnon No. 1, and the violent explosion directly turned the turret into purgatory! Dozens of gunners were killed instantly, and the cannon weighing dozens of tons was blown to both ends by huge force, and the servo of another cannon was also severely damaged.

And that's not all. The 234mm single-mounted turret located in the middle of the hull was also hit, and the main gun turret could not be stopped. Not to mention this single-mounted turret, it was very stern! With the violent explosion, the turret was blown into a flowery bun, and a raging fire lit up on the broken turret, like a huge torch, illuminating the entire battlefield.

Two other shells hit the armor belt of the hull, one opened a hole in the bow of the ship, bringing hundreds of tons of water inlet to the Agamemnon, and the other hit the middle of the hull, and did not explode after tearing the outer armor. The British were lucky.

The Redbeard armored cruiser also launched a counterattack, but this time, the German observation also had problems due to the poor visibility at night. The Redbeard aimed at the cruiser Dublin, a weak chicken with only about 5,000 tons!

Although the Red Beard is an old ship with a ship of nearly 20 years old, but after all, they have heavy armor and powerful artillery. It is natural to be able to catch a light cruiser. Eight 10-inch guns aimed at the targets in the distance and opened fire frantically. The armor-piercing shells, like raindrops, easily penetrated the waterline armor belts of the light cruiser only used to defend against the 6-inch guns. The high-speed rotating shells penetrated like drills like the power cabin of the Dublin. The steam pipes inside were fried and crushed!

In just a few minutes, the unlucky cruiser was covered by the flames after the bomb explosion and its own fire, as if a grand fireworks show was performed. The artillery located on the surface had been smashed to pieces, and hundreds of British naval officers and soldiers fell in a pool of blood. The yellow-green flames flowed on the surface of the warship, and blood, flesh and corpses formed a twisted doomsday scene!

"Fuck! There is a big guy there!" The sudden attack of the Zrini made the British a little busy, but the British, who still had the advantage in the number of battleships, quickly adjusted their firepower distribution! After all, there are three and a half main battleships on the British side! (Agamemnon counts half)
