"We are about 15 kilometers away from the target, but why do I feel like this is not like a flying fish!" The lookout hand reported through the soundtrack. "There seems to be a lot of things on the surface of the ship." The target was not far away. I don't know if the Alsace did not appear or other reasons. The two sides gradually approached, and the Alsace was on the starboard side of the target, and the courses of both sides were almost parallel. How do you think about the scene when the two warships met!&1t;/p>

"The target heading is parallel to ours, 18 knots, what a good target." The 8-meter main rangefinder on the Moltke battleship has locked the target firmly in the middle of the field of view. After magnification by 30 times, the opponent's figure is already very clear.&1t;/p>

"The only regret is that this is an auxiliary cruiser, not an armored cruiser." The design process has begun. The rangefinder keeps tracking targets at a distance, and then converts the opponent's navigation data into a continuous curve through a mechanical computer. Then the data is passed along the line to each turret.&1t;/p>

With a ding sound, the red signal light that can be fired by the cannon inside the turret sounded. Four huge turrets turned to the target, and a shell was raised from the ammunition depot through the delivery channel. The cannon was lowered to a position suitable for loading. The huge push rod pushed the shell weighing more than 600 kilograms of shots into the barrel. Because the target of the target was a light-protected auxiliary cruiser, the type of bullet selected was a semi-armor-piercing bomb.&1t;/p>

"Kill the opponent in ten minutes!" Hippel looked at his first target in the distance calmly. At this time, the distance between the two sides was about 14 kilometers. Without a rangefinder, it was impossible to enlarge the target. So many British people still could not clearly identify the identity of the other party. After all, you can't expect a auxiliary cruiser to be put into service in 1895 and have no modern modifications to install a rangefinder......&1t;/p>

Boom! A sound like thunder suddenly sounded over the North Sea. Before this moment, no British could have thought of meeting the opponent's main ship here. The fireballs and smoke from the half-volley of the four cannons covered one-third of the hull, but for the British who were more than ten thousand meters away, it was just a few light spots. The sound of the cannon could not have been so far, but the light spots that simply jumped from the sea level made Major Coas feel bright. Major Coas, who had never eaten pork, had at least seen pigs running! He has seen the scene of a battleship volley.&1t;/p>

What light in the distance seemed so terrifying and deadly to Major Coase, like a three-headed dog in hell that projected his terror and cruelty into the present world through the gate of hell! The whistling shells flew over a long distance in just over a dozen seconds, hitting the wilted British man like a meteorite on the face!&1t;/p>

After observing the water column, the German battleship made a second half-volley after adjustment, directly clamped the target, and then hit it directly in the third round of attack! A 35omm shell directly hit the middle of the hull of the Alsace auxiliary cruiser, shot from the bottom of a chimney, and then penetrated through several layers of decks and then hit the old reciprocating three-inflated steam engine...&1t;/p>

The unit, which had been operating for nearly 20 years, was naturally split by this blow. What was unexpected was that the remaining shell fragments still had huge kinetic energy. A bullet body weighing at least 1 ookg and even smashed straight downwards through the double-decker bottom of the hull! This was equivalent to opening a sea valve to the other party when the power compartment was destroyed...&1t;/p>

The top battleships can be described as "shot" when dealing with such guys who are not even third-class ships! The British did not consider the situation where the auxiliary cruiser encountered an opponent, so they even saved the cigarette jar... In desperation, Major Couse even ordered the warships to shoot the sea to hit the water column to cover themselves. However, these had no effect after all. The Germans' attack rate was too fast, and the half-volley shot every 20 seconds was too fatal. Without any interference, after entering the effective shooting, an average of every round of shooting can be obtained! And a warship that has been used for nearly 20 years is naturally impossible to last for too long.&1t;/p>

Less than 3 minutes after the war started, the Alsace's radio communication equipment was destroyed. The remaining 6-inch guns on the warship could not pose a threat to the opponent. Tons of tons of shells hit the warship. Although they could float at sea with high reserve buoyancy, they were just breathing. After 6 minutes of the Moltke fire, Hippel ordered the fire to stop. The rest was to let the destroyer shoot two torpedoes. He now needs to find the next target!&1t;/p>

When the S91 destroyer, which was ordered to perform a lightning strike mission, just sent his opponent into the sea with two torpedoes, a huge figure appeared at 1 o'clock in the Moltke battleship.&1t;/p>

"We seem to have a big guy. If we hadn't known that all British battle patrols were in the south, we would have thought we had encountered a battle cruiser!" The gunner of the Moltke recalled.&1t;/p>

"The Alsace seems to be unable to contact." In the command tower of the Minotao, an officer said to Major General Ace with some concern.&1t;/p>

"No more, we have found the target. But it seems that this guy can't be called a prey anymore, right?" Ace said with a cold sweat on his head. Unlike the auxiliary cruisers that do not have a rangefinder and cannot accurately determine the appearance of the warship, there are 15-foot rangefinders on the Minotao! When the warship in the middle of the field of view was magnified 15 times and the appearance gradually became clear, the British were completely stunned!&1t;/p>

"This is definitely a battlecruiser! God, why did the German battlecruiser appear here? Are they crazy?" An officer's face was filled with incredible words when he heard the news.&1t;/p>

"Our large fleet is in the south, and it is impossible to come back until midnight today. This is a conspiracy. The Germans used all their fleets!" Major General Ace said with a gloomy face. "Report immediately, report on the situation here, and rule all auxiliary cruisers to evacuate this sea area! This is a trap! This is hell!"&1t;/p>

However, when the British tried to report, the reserved frequency band was full of clutter. Listening to the sizzling interference sounds of the headphones, the reporter shook his head helplessly.&1t;/p>

"It's another pursuit battle, so let's chase." After seeing the target, Hippel immediately took the lead and came over. At this time, the Moltke battleship raised its voyage to more than 27 knots. The ship like a long knife plowed the sea and smashed the waves to pieces. Countless fine water droplets fell on the deck. Thanks to the heightened ship, the waves on the battleship were not serious.&1t;/p>
