992 Desperately Fighting 2

But destroyers are different. In the night environment, the effective range of the artillery is greatly shortened. If there is no range advantage, the greatest advantage of the artillery over the torpedo is gone... In addition, the destroyer is very small and fast, which is convenient for hiding and sneak attacks. Even though he knows that the number of opponent's destroyers is large and his own number is relatively small, he still rushes hard towards the direction where the opponent may have a large number of destroyers, which is almost a death-seeking! Instead of facing torpedoes, it is better to face a naval gun!&1t;/p>

The Allied Fleet quickly implemented the Count's order, and the three battleships began to turn. At this time, after a period of preparation, the air pressure generated in the boiler compartment was enough, and the output of the steam turbine began to rise sharply. The three battleships had increased from the initial 12 knots to about 17 knots, which was basically on par with the French main fleet. If nothing unexpected happens, they can quickly get rid of their opponents.&1t;/p>

At this time, the French naturally let the German fleet go, and a certain German warship thinks so! The situation of the war changed inadvertently. When they saw the German fleet preparing to evacuate in the opposite direction and still under the light of the fire, Lieutenant General Lebris frowned slightly.&1t;/p>

The Germans seemed to have seen through his plan. If the fast-moving battleships turn, then the armored cruisers he had left before would be behind the opponent, and the armored cruisers were not as good as those new fast battleships! By then, the best result for the French was to watch the opponent disappear from the night.&1t;/p>

The worst result is that the German fleet swayed in the shadows and came back again... If that were the case, the offensive and defensive momentum would have completely changed. His two fearless and two accurate fearless could not defeat the other three fast battleships! Adding three cruisers would not work! To make a more vivid metaphor, the other party was an agile black panther, and he was a wolf. This wolf temporarily suppressed the opponent through a sneak attack through careful plan, but if the opponent recovered, he might be able to kill the wolf in one bite! So at this critical moment, when the German fleet was almost about to escape, Lebres decisively played the last ace - armored cruiser, torpedo boat, and long-range suppression of the main battleship!&1t;/p>

Just as the Germans quickly turned to the pursuit and blockade of the French fleet, three slender figures suddenly rushed out of the dark night. Looking at the huge figures in the telescope, which were no less than the main battleship, Earl Sipe and others were suddenly pulled up!&1t;/p>

The three French warships were so fast that the Gambida was the second French armored cruiser detachment, Hugo and Ferry, followed closely behind. These 13,000 tons of warships were like sharp carriage guns in the hands of the knights, and directly opened the destroyer defense net outside the German fleet. Dozens of 138mm or 164mm cannons on the side locked the destroyers who tried to stop them like the eyes of demons in the night. Fires burst out from the gun mouths, and dense shells formed a death zone around the French armored cruiser. Two German destroyers that could not dodge were torn to pieces by violent firepower within a few minutes! Two big fireworks were set off in the night.&1t;/p>

Behind these armored knights, a small team of destroyers followed closely and entered the holes torn by the armored cruiser! These guys with sharp blades and vicious like vipers held back the German fleet in the distance, which was about to withdraw! At this moment, the French launched the most threatening counterattack tonight!&1t;/p>

"Continue to add! All the secondary guns attack the torpedo boats, level the main gun and knock out the cruisers!" Colonel Mekdor, the captain of the Sultan Ottoman I, ordered first, and looked at the destroyer that was flying a few kilometers away, as light as a flying fish and as deadly as a poisonous snake. The colonel felt a drop of cold sweat rolling down from his head. The opponent was a bit too many, and the distance was too close!&1t;/p>

The flexible 88mm anti-lightning gun aimed at the target first. More than a dozen artillery fired a series of shells towards the erratic figure in the distance, rushing towards the target like locusts. These artillery and machine guns weave a tight fire net around the battleship! Water columns surged into the sky on the sea surface, and the French destroyer team launched an attack formation in a fan-shaped oblique package towards the German fleet. This time, the French played all the cards! The destroyers of the entire two teams stabbed at the target like a demon's dagger!&1t;/p>

At this moment, both the Earl of Sipe and his generals were really afraid. If the 12 destroyers were fully fired, they would be 4o to 5o torpedoes! At this time, other German warships could not control so much. All warships had full firepower, and even the main gun was used to deal with these deadly poisonous snakes!&1t;/p>

At the critical moment, the Allied fleet's adaptability was fully demonstrated at this moment! The spacing between the warships quickly widened, and each spread in the opposite direction! The remaining destroyers were divided into two teams, one rushed towards the flanks of the French destroyer that was launching lightning strikes, while the other team blocked the French armored cruiser with their thin bodies!&1t;/p>

The situation on the battlefield became extremely chaotic in an instant. The French destroyer plunged into the fire net of the German battleship. An unlucky destroyer was directly hit by a 35omm main gun shell. The entire hull was directly reached in two sections. Under the huge impact, the slender ship as long as a sword was raised high, and then sank into the water again and never floated up again. With half a cigarette, a destroyer with more than 80 tons disappeared.&1t;/p>

Due to its location, another destroyer was directly "careful" by three 15omm artillery and two 88mm anti-lightning guns. Raindrop-like shells fell on the hull, like a naughty child dismantling the building blocks. The explosion of the destroyer was stripped off the parts from the distance, and gradually turned into a pile of broken scrap iron in the flames and explosions. Even so, the destroyer still shot two torpedoes towards the German battleship when half of the hull had been in the water!&1t;/p>
