Chapter 2607 Su Xiong's admission 2
Faced with such a battle of comparable strength, Lieutenant General Stedi is very unpopular! He is not afraid of anything but afraid of ten thousand! The U.S. and German fleets don’t care about sinking armored cruisers. As for the iron cans like Bavaria, it is really not easy to sink it. If the Japanese fleet loses a King Kong, it will hurt for a long time! Therefore, support is necessary, but it cannot be pulled over and continue to hunt!
Mobilizing a Fuso-class battleship to support is just stuck in a golden ratio! When transferring a Fuso-class battleship, the four Fuso-class battleships will never lose against three Bavarian-class battleships in poor condition. After all, the German fleet was at a loss in the previous battle, and Bavaria's losses and consumption were higher than those of the Fuso. In the 1v1, 1v1, 2v1 combat allocation, the Bavaria that was beaten 1 by 2 will definitely be suppressed. This will lead to a chain reaction that is likely to have.
To take a step back, even if three Fuso fight against three Bavaria and then one Fuso and two King Kong-class battleships are allowed to deal with the American armored cruiser, the latter can quickly achieve results in a shorter time, so that the situation will develop in a direction that is beneficial to the Japanese fleet.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
And even now, when a Fuso-class battleship enters the battlefield, Su Xing must distribute a Bavaria to focus on Fuso. Otherwise, if the latter is allowed to output freely, the German fleet will definitely feel uncomfortable. Therefore, from this perspective, the Japanese fleet is at least in a situation with a greater advantage.
Then, the remaining four Japanese fast battleships can continue to hunt the US transport fleet without any pressure. Anyway, before the Benson fleet arrived, the fleets of both sides had all their cards and no other forces would intervene in this battle. So besides being careful of some submarines that don’t know where they are hidden, the remaining Japanese warships can still be hunted happily! As for the 4 Fuso and 3 Bavaria ships? Let’s continue to waste it slowly.
And the careful Stedy was also wary of the most unlikely situation, that is, if Su Xiong evacuates again at this time and wants to repeat the same trick, even the weakest Japanese fleet has 2 Fusang, 1 King Kong and 1 fast battleship. In this case, the German fleet that has fought two consecutive battles will definitely not get any advantage. Not to mention anything else, after fighting two battles, how many armor-piercing bombs can be left in Su Xiong's fleet?&1t;i>&1t;/i>
You should know that the reserve amount of a main gun of a Bavarian-class battleship is just over 12o. Even if this time is specialized in naval battles, the shells are all armor-piercing shells and semi-piercing shells (the latter is better for light-killing warships.) and only about 12o. In actual combat, the maximum Bavarian-class fire is 2.5 to 3 per minute! Just when the two sides were in the first round of battle, although it was not long, Stedi estimated that each artillery of the Suxiong fleet conservatively knocked out at least 4o of armor-piercing shells! In fact, even the King Kong-class battlecruiser, under the protection of the dome armor, 15-inch and a half-piercing shells could hardly kill their opponents in seconds.
"Just do as Lieutenant General Steady said." Seeing that Betty had no objection, Shigetaro Yoshimatsu finally adopted Steady's suggestion. So he immediately commanded the fleet to prepare to move closer to the two battlecruisers, and Suzuki Kantaro also ordered the Takabo fast battleship in good condition to support the team immediately, and he continued to lead the fleet to hunt American transport ships!&1t;i>&1t;/i>
However, what Stedi didn't expect was that although his plan seemed perfect, it was too late. Before the Japanese fleet completed the adjustment, the Suxiong fleet had already achieved results! Under the attack of two Bavarian-class battleships, the attacked Hazel, who was hit and attacked, died very simply! At this moment! Hazel was not a ship! He inherited the will and traditions of all British pure-blooded battle cruisers! Invincible, unyielding, Queen Mary, the Lion, all British battle cruisers who were firecrackers in previous naval battles possessed their souls at this moment! So, without surprise, Hazel was shot into the soul by a 15-inch naval gun that was shot into the ammunition depot!
The 15-inch shell shot from Oldenburg successfully penetrated the ammunition depot under the No. 3 turret of Hazel. The only 8-inch side string main armor had no effect at all. The 3-inch armor steel and 1-inch back plate dome armor could not block this fatal blow! The 15-inch shell directly penetrated the upper shell bay of Hazel's, followed by a loud bang! The remaining 14-inch shells over 1oo and dozens of tons of shooting drugs below were detonated!&1t;i>&1t;/i>
Looking from the sea, a large amount of black smoke gushed out from the middle and rear of the Hazel hull, and then a dazzling flash. A huge fireball rose into the air, accompanied by a loud thunder, and a smoke column wrapped in fragments rushed straight into the air for hundreds of meters. Then, after the smoke column cooled down, a huge cloud of mushrooms formed, and the battleship below seemed to be directly pressed into the water by a huge hand. The second half of the hull sank directly into the sea in less than 30 seconds. Under the cover of thick smoke, the slender front hull sank back into the sea! In less than a minute, this Japanese battlecruiser had completed his life!
"This is definitely the brightest fireworks I've seen tonight!" Su Xiong said with a happy smile.
"Hiss..." Looking at the huge fireball suddenly appeared on the sea in the distance, Shigetaro Yoshimatsu felt his scalp numb. There was no doubt that the explosion just now was because a main battleship was sunk. At the same time, he could confirm that the sinking main battleship must be a Japanese battleship, because Bavaria would definitely not be so fragile!
"How many minutes have the war started?" Shigetaro Yoshimatsu glanced at the wall clock. It took only less than 10 minutes from Su Xiong's fleet entering the battle again to the Battle of Hazel's name! This is simply a bit terrifying! The evaluation of the King Kong level in his heart has dropped by a level, and he is thinking that even if the King Kong still survives after the war, he must retire! This thing is just a firecracker!
"Damn Germans! It's obviously not their business, so why do they just keep stolen?" At this time, Shigetaro Yoshimatsu was really not in the mood to continue to tangle with the old Fletcher's armored cruiser team. There was a King Kong-class battlecruiser not far away. Shigetaro Yoshimatsu was unwilling to lose another battleship!
"Don't worry about those Americans' broken ships anymore! Go and help the Kalachak immediately. We can't lose another battleship! Let the Takabo faster!" Shigetaro Yoshimatsu ordered anxiously.
