The high-power turbo compressor and high-pressure oil pump roared, pumping large amounts of fuel and fresh air into the burning boiler furnace. The entire fleet quickly approached the target.
As the distance approached, they could already see that the British fleet was chasing after their Deutsche Deutsche, while their warship was fighting back violently.
Deutsche, great!
On the Bismarck, Captain Claude quickly turned on the rangefinder, the optical sighting equipment was working efficiently, and the mechanical ballistic solver in the command room hummed to find the starting point of the shooting.
At the same time, the pusher smoothly pushes the projectile and the cartridge into the barrel, closing the bolt.
After dozens of seconds, all the launch data have been bound. At this time, 15 nautical miles from the target, the most dazzling battleship in the British fleet was locked.
Under the action of the hydraulic machine, the artillery hits the specified elevation angle according to the target data, locks it, and releases the firing machine insurance!
"Volley!" Lütjens shouted loudly, standing on the bridge.
Due to the problem of light, the German fleet is easy to find the British fleet, while the British fleet is very difficult to find the German fleet. In this first round of salvo, the other party may not have found its own side!
"Boom!" The 406 naval gun fired violently. The six cannons fired together in a spectacular scene, even if the wind and waves were very strong now, the black smoke from the muzzle still enveloped the whole ship in an instant.
The four 380mm naval guns on the front of the fleet of Scharnhorst also fired almost at the same time. As the golden fire enveloped the entire sea, huge black smoke rose above the fleet. At this time, the opponent should noticed.
However, it is too late!
When Admiral Tovey received the alert, the German warships had already fired their first salvo!
15 nautical miles, at this distance, can you hit it accurately?
Standing on the bridge, Admiral Tovey stared into the distance, and then he saw the opponent's shells, falling into the port side of the Queen Elizabeth, a distance of tens of meters.
Setting firecrackers at this distance is a joke.
Almost all the shells were empty.
Admiral Tovey had a calm face. Now, let’s put the Deutsche on the ground first. One more volley will be enough. Then he will turn his head and engage the main fleet of the German Navy. He must be killed. they!
At this moment, he was taken aback suddenly, on the opposite side, black smoke came out again, and the other side actually opened fire again?
At this time, on the Bismarck, the gunner Claude was observing intently.
After the cannonball was released, the new armor-piercing projectile was stuffed in again by the autoloader. Claude's eyes stared at the opposite side, observing the trajectory of the cannonball.
Almost before falling into the sea, Captain Claude had already made a judgment: "Close shot, fast! Add 600 to the gauge, fast!"
Although there is a sophisticated mechanical ballistic calculator, whether it can hit or not depends on the gunner's actual experience.
The first volley is close!
The gunners quickly fine-tuned the elevation angle of the artillery. It took almost 50 seconds. The second shot began again!
At the time of design, the maximum rate of fire of the Bismarck was three rounds per minute, but now the distance is relatively long, and it must wait until the front drop point appears before adjusting the artillery and continuing to fire.
At a distance of 15 nautical miles, the second shot began in less than a minute. This speed is definitely fast!
At the same time, the British volleys began, but they were still chasing the Deutsche Welle.
After piercing the raging storm, the second shot of the 406 mm naval gun started again. Three seconds later, the 380 naval gun also opened fire.
On the sea, gunpowder is filled with smoke, and the air is full of the smell of gunpowder. Smelling this smell makes people burst into blood.
Captain Claude is the most nervous one. Now, his heartbeat is one hundred and forty beats per minute!
His experience determines whether he can hit and the fate of the German navy.
Yes, right now, it is a duel between the German main fleet and the British main fleet. As long as the British fleet is brought down in this naval battle, the British fleet will not dare to dispatch again for a long time.
In Scarpa Bay, the British main force was badly injured. Now this is the warship that has been transferred back to other colonial areas. It can be considered to continue to maintain a certain scale. As long as they are eliminated this time, they will be powerless and have no confidence to continue to fight. The German navy was at war.
With his hope, the 406 mm shell flew to the Queen Elizabeth on the opposite side.
No, this time it's a far bomb!
"The gauge is reduced by 200, a close position to the left, continue to fire, hurry!"
Captain Claude continued to give orders. He didn't feel any frustration. It can be said that naval battles have been like this from history to the present, constantly adjusting until the final hit.
The comparison is who shoots fast and who shoots fiercely!
Three volleys took just over two minutes, which is definitely a terrible record.
With the hope of the German Navy, the 406 mm armor-piercing projectile crossed a beautiful arc and flew towards the opposite side.
"Boom!" The armor-piercing projectile weighing more than one ton drilled into the waterline armor belt of the Queen Elizabeth, and the 152 mm steel armor was torn open directly!
The huge impact generated by the collision even made this 30,000-ton warship shake violently~EbookFREE.me~ Everyone felt the fear of the end.
The last time they attacked Scarpa Bay, the British navy was humiliating. They did not enter a combat state. Now, in the battle, more than 30,000 tons of battleships have been hit!
At this time, the distance between the two parties is less than 14 nautical miles, if accurately converted, it is 25,135 meters!
The Bismarck set a record for the farthest shooting.
The armor-piercing projectile penetrated the Queen Elizabeth, wherever it went, there was death. It was only a few tens of meters away from the ammunition depot of the second turret.
The flying shrapnel kept hitting the armor of the ammunition depot, but fortunately it persisted.
The third salvo, one hit.
"Reduce the gauge by 50, continue shooting!" Captain Claude continued to order to continue firing. At the same time, in his sight, he saw the Queen Elizabeth, which was shot by the 380 on the Scharnhorst ahead of him. The millimeter naval gun hit two shots!
"Boom!" A 380mm armor-piercing projectile directly hit the opponent's bridge. This projectile brought even more terrifying death!
