From Major General Bodick's perspective, he could see a series of fireballs rising into the sky. When the first batch of shells had not yet fallen, the second batch of shells had already been released! The shells, like meteor showers, instantly covered the galloping British light cruiser, and the nearly flat shooting angle brought a terrible dangerous area to the opponent's warship (the area that may be hit by the shells is called a dangerous area.)&1t;/p>

A wall of flames rolled towards the British warship not far away. When the two sides collided, continuous explosions and volcanic torrents instantly swept across the entire warship!&1t;/p>

For a full minute, the Frankfurt shot no less than 2 tons of shells. (One 175mm shell weighs 75kg, 6 artillery pieces, shooting from 7 to 8 per minute.) In this minute, the distance between the two sides was close to about 5 kilometers. Such a close distance allowed this round of shells to have an unusual hit rate, and nearly half a ton of shells hit the poor British light cruiser!&1t;/p>

The violent flame storm swept through all the protrusions on the deck of the Antrim at the first time. A 6-inch gun located on the ship was hit by a 75kg armor-piercing projectile before he could fire the third shell. After easily tearing open the 5omm gun shield, the 12-person gun group behind and the 5-ton 6-inch gun were broken! The entire gun position was completely wiped from the deck, and only the remaining pillars and the fragments next to it told people that there was once a cannon here!&1t;/p>

In this close combat, in this close combat between the two sides almost hit the guns in the close combat of the opponent's forehead, they took the lead, and the more guns, the more powerful guns, the opponent is generally the winner. With the help of two powerful weapons of mechanical servo and turret-shaped artillery, the Antrim light cruiser on the opposite side had no chance to fight back. A series of shells hit the side gun positions, bridges, waterline armor belts, chimneys, and engine rooms. The slender hull made terrifying explosions and tremors one after another.&1t;/p>

The dense shells blew up the cockpits into pieces, and the two chimneys were cut off at the same root. In less than 3 minutes, more than a dozen holes appeared in the waterway line of the ship. The surging sea water poured into the side compartment, and even tore the partitions of the power compartment under the violent impact. After a few dozen seconds, the boiler bin of this light cruiser could already raise fish......&1t;/p>

"Beautiful shot! Shooting! Blood!" After looking at the obvious tilt and the entire hull had turned into a swimming torch, Major General Bodick shouted excitedly to the cannon artillery through the sound tube. The crushing in front of him stimulated the fighting spirit and bloodthirst in the heart of the man. In less than ten minutes, the Frankfurt had beaten the opponent in front of him into a dead fish.&1t;/p>

At this time, the other six light cruisers from both sides were also entangled. The British light cruiser, who realized that the other side was a tough stubborn, quickly released the smoke screen, and hoped that the destroyers behind could kill these light cruisers that were in trouble while the chaos was in trouble. The German light cruiser also rationally controlled the navigation and distance. Both sides always maintained a straight-line distance of about 5 kilometers. When releasing torpedoes at this distance, they could basically only hit the target!&1t;/p>

The German fleet will naturally not let the British light cruisers and torpedo boats patrol the sea! After the three battleships aimed at the main gun fire at the British fleet, the situation will be different!&1t;/p>

"We are like shooting rabbits with shotguns. After a shell explodes, hundreds of fist-sized fragments will be produced. These fragments may not be anything to the main battleship, but they are absolutely deadly for light cruisers and destroyers!" The gun captain of the battleship Oldenburg after the war said proudly.&1t;/p>

The smoke screens of the three light cruisers can only cover part of the battlefield. The three German battleships located behind the side still have a very good shooting range. Although the destroyers are also agile and difficult to hit, the near-burn loss is undoubtedly fatal to these warships!&1t;/p>

&1t;/p>

The water columns approached the British destroyer formation like the footsteps of the god of death. They now have only three choices. The first choice is to rush through the cover of smoke and fight to the death. The second choice is to stay in place to bet on luck, while the third choice is to rush directly. The roar of the shell explosion caused many people's eardrums to bleed. The shrapnel like raindrops made him terrible.&1t;/p>

The red and yellow flames that exploded in the sky, the thick smoke, steam and the diffusing water vapor outlined a scene of doomsday. Under the sky above the valley of Optical is the British destroyer formation. The shrapnel of fists fell from the air one after another and opened up big or small breaks on the destroyers. Each collision is a test of life and death for the people in the cabin. The thin partitions not only cannot provide better protection for the people inside, but will make the attacks of the opponent more deadly. Thousands of shrapnel, large or small, jump between the cabin, passage and pipeline, jump back, and flowers of blood donation bloom in the jump of shrapnel, and the entire cabin becomes a colander under repeated attacks.&1t;/p>

A Kerong and the Attack destroyer stopped struggling first. The former was destroyed by a 35omm near-lose bomb. The high-explosive bomb weighing more than 6oo kilograms fell in the sea water less than 10 meters away from A Kerong. The instant explosion immediately made the nearby sea water like a boiler. The explosion energy formed a large number of high-temperature and high-pressure bubbles in the water. When these bubbles exploded, they produced a huge energy impact, and the water flow wrapped in fragments hit the fragile side of A Kerong.&1t;/p>

Accompanied by a series of dense impacts, the outer shell plate of the warship was instantly torn a few meters long hole, and then the power cabin. Finally, the keel at the bottom of the warship, accompanied by a burst of tooth-inspiring metal breaking and twisting sounds, the destroyer was almost reached at both ends, the first half was seriously inflowing, and the inertia of high navigation added to his sinking, like a sharp sword piercing into the water. The bow of the ship never floated up again after entering the water, the tail was raised high, and the propeller stopped rotating.&1t;/p>

The attack destroyer was killed by shrapnel rain. Countless shrapnels, large or small, were hit on the destroyer one after another. "In less than 2 minutes, our warship was at least 10 holes!" A rescued British navy soldier said confidently after the war. As for how they counted it, it is worth discussing. But one thing that is certain is that the unlucky destroyer was penetrated by shrapnel falling from the sky after the war started. The deck of a few millimeters could not block these debris. After a "meteorite rain" was dropped on the power capsule, the destroyer quickly turned into an "artificial hot spring". As a result, it was naturally overdue!&1t;/p>
