Like a rushing fire dragon, the 12-inch shell hit some parts below the main gun of the bow of the Hog armored cruiser. Unexpectedly, the shell penetrated the outer layer of protection and directly blew the bomb conveyor to pieces! A fire dragon spread rapidly down the conveyor passage. The old fire door that had been used for more than ten years could not stop it from being so strong. Accompanied by a loud bang like a heavy hammer, the entire fire door was blown to pieces, and the surging flames rushed into the ammunition depot, and then ignited the neatly discharged 234mm artillery shells below!

During the Battle of Jutland, the British super fearless battle cruisers could be killed by the Germans' 12-inch guns. As the Austro-Hungarian 12-inch gun, which was stronger than the German 12-inch gun, attacked the armored cruiser as thin as a crispy armored cruiser. After piercing through the ammunition depot, everything was destined. With a shocking explosion, the entire bow of the Hog was blown to pieces, like a beheaded criminal. The rear half of the hull quickly sank into the water. With bursts of sour breaking and explosions, the rear of the hull was lifted high, and the still-operated propeller was idle. Then, under the gravity of the warship itself, it broke into two pieces and sank to the bottom of the sea!

As for the USS Cresey armored cruiser, after being short-legged, this guy destroyed the side-string light protective artillery by dense shells. Two destroyers went up and sent the 10,000-ton armored cruiser to the bottom of the sea with three torpedoes. So far, the first wave of artillery positions sent by the British have been hit!

"Today's battle is easy, isn't it?" Brigadier General Pachner, who served as the former commander of the Fightless Fleet, even lit a cigarette for himself. "Sort the fleet back a little, it's time for the Lord to come."

However, the battle with the advantageous opponent is never easy. The outcome of a war does not depend on the exchange ratio, nor does it depend on how many opponent's warships you have killed. The most fundamental thing is whether the tactical purpose has been achieved. Although the cannon fodder in the first round was easily swept away, the German fleet soon felt the pressure coming! Because, three Dandong-class battleships have already entered the field!

In the smoke screen gradually blown away by the sea breeze, several huge figures appeared blurred in the vision of the German fleet. A thick and long cannon aimed at the German fleet that had just killed the enemy. This time the distance between the two sides was a little further, about 9,000 meters. However, it was useless. Even the armor-piercing bombs that were not currently passed in France can definitely target fearlessness and cause huge damage!

Boom! A roar like thunder sounded on the battlefield. If the previous battle was mainly medium-caliber rapid-fire guns, then now, the real main forces of both sides began to appear, with more than 20 12-inch guns shooting wildly. They just entered the battlefield, in good condition, and a larger number of French fleets had the advantage from the beginning! The three quasi-fairy-nosed ships of Dandong, Gambida, and Mibola were tilting their firepower towards the target, and their first target was the Red Beard, which was closest to them!

The Dandong and the Gambida two quasi-fairly targeted the artillery fire at the poor armored cruiser at the same time. After all, they were nearly 10 years behind. Even if the Dandong was designed badly, under the crushing of absolute tonnage and firepower, the Red Beard armored cruiser was still a little in trouble, not to mention that the other side had two ships!

With the vibration of the warship, another salvo began. Seven 12-inch shells drew arcs in the air that indicate death and flew towards the Red Beard not far away. A few seconds later, the heavy shells had an intimate contact with the Red Beard's side-stringed armor belt!

The armor belt, which was only 8 to 10 inches thick, finally couldn't hold on at this distance. Although the first shell was blocked tightly, the violent impact was still about the heavy armor pushing back half a meter! A crack that ran across the hull was generated, and a large amount of sea water poured in from the gap. The powerful impact force spreads into the interior along the support structure of the hull, and the metal measurements were twisted and torn, and many cabins were penetrated by flying shrapnel. Although they finally stopped outside the power cabin, this attack brought more than 300 tons of water to the Red Beard!

Then two other shells hit the poor warship. The double-mounted 10-inch cannon turret on the bow was pierced, and flames and muzzles surged out of the thrust, and the cannon weighing dozens of tons fell to one side. The other shell hit the fragile bow of the armored cruiser. After a loud bang, a large hole of several square meters appeared on the slender hull. The Red Beard was easily suppressed by two Dandong-class battleships.

In addition, the Mibola battleship was also inseparable from the Zrini. At this time, Ferdinand was taking the destroyer to deal with the flawless clone of the French destroyer that arrived with three Dandong-class battleships. So, the two battleships called the strongest quasi-fair battleships started a knight-like 1v1 battle!

This was a fight from the fist to the flesh. However, compared with the French naval guns, the 12-inch Skoda naval gun was hardened by the armor-piercing shells, which was obviously more powerful than the armor-piercing shells. Just like a battle between two tigers, the battleship Zrini, relied on its sharp minions, first came hard on the opponent's abdomen! A shell pierced the armor belt of the Mibola, but was finally blocked by the 3-inch dome armor behind. However, even so, the impact and violent impact of the shells exploded still destroyed the back of the rear of the dome armor. Countless fragments easily cut off the cooling water pipe of the left string of the Mibola. A large amount of water poured out from the pipe, instantly turning the nearby cabin into a bathhouse. After the lack of cooling water, several boilers of the Mibola battleship were shut down.

Then, the Mibola immediately returned with color, and a 12-inch shell hit the thick No. 1 turret armor plate of Zrini. The 12-inch armor plate with an inclined angle bounced off the opponent's attack. A bullet mark with a depth of 6 inches and a length of more than 1 meter appeared on the forehead of the No. 1 turret!

Then... more shells fell on each other's superstructure, and one round of shells easily shattered the unprotected cabin in the upper part, especially the Mibola. The warships before the French War 2 were completely typical of various illegal buildings. Such a tall building attracted the firepower of the other party like a cannonball magnet! Not long after, the superstructures of both sides became in a mess, with towering masts, chimneys and other cabins being beaten into pieces, and the surface of the ship turned into ruins!
