Chapter 483: The German main fleet arrived


The of luck, did not take care of the Deutsche Vessel again.
The 283 mm shells all flew. When they opened fire, the hull shook slightly, so the muzzle was slightly offset. In this way, all the shells flew.
The Southampton was unscathed.
The fourth volley fired again. After the Deutsche Deutsche opened fire in two rounds, the British warship also completed its preparations.
The shells flew toward the Deutsche Bahn like a rainstorm.
This time, because of the close distance, not only the main gun, but also the opponent's secondary gun fired. The shells were too dense!
"Right rudder one," Colonel Stanger yelled, this time he was no longer calm, and had to avoid it.
"Boom!" A shell fell into the sea water, and then exploded, rolling up a few meters high waves, and pounced on the deck, casting a few exposed people operating the antiaircraft artillery with a chill.
"Boom!" Suddenly, a cannonball hit it accurately.
Fortunately, this was a 152mm secondary artillery shell, which happened to hit Deutsche’s strongest side armor belt. During the huge impact, the entire ship felt a shaking, but fortunately, it was not hit. wear!
The engine on the Deutsche Vessel made a rumbling sound, and the damaged diesel engine had not been started up. Its speed was not high enough. Now, it seems that it might not be possible to escape the British attack.
On the Queen Elizabeth, which had been hit by two torpedoes, Admiral Tovey looked at the Deutsche in the distance. His eyes were extremely cold: "Continue with the salvo and kill it!"
The opponent can no longer run away, and his own will use intensive firepower to completely eliminate the opponent.
"Report, Zephyr found a target on the sea fifteen nautical miles away on our port side." At this moment, a voice came from the radio and quickly reported to Admiral Tovey.
Port side, fifteen nautical miles? Admiral Tovey stood up and raised his telescope. From the porthole of the bridge, he could see the sea on the port side.
It's a pity that there are waves everywhere. He can't see anything. He can only roughly see some bright spots on the sea, which looks like a fleet.
After that, he frowned. He had already seen the bright spots on the opposite side, and black smoke appeared from the other side's naval guns.
Are Germans so perverted? At this distance, they actually opened fire?
Yes, Germany has opened fire!
The Deutsche Deutsche fired at a distance of 10 nautical miles, and made a first hit, which was quite powerful, while this newly arrived formation fired at a distance of 15 nautical miles!
The flagship of the formation is the pride of the German Navy, the Bismarck battleship!
Originally, the core of the formation was the Adolf Hitler aircraft carrier, but now, this aircraft carrier, accompanied by two or three escorting warships, is about twenty nautical miles behind the formation.
The bad weather conditions made the Hitler aircraft carrier unable to release the carrier aircraft at all. Last night's recovery of the fighter aircraft was already thrilling. The deck was shaking violently, and the officers and soldiers on the carrier could only wait idly for the weather to improve.
In this era, the carrier-based aircraft has shown strong combat effectiveness. Under its dive bombing, any warship is like paper, and the battle of naval guns has been placed in second place.
After these days of fighting, the German Navy has concluded this conclusion. The aircraft carrier will eventually replace the battleship.
However, in the Atlantic, battleships still have its value.
For example, nowadays, the carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier cannot be released, so you can only rely on battleships!
When the carrier-based aircraft cannot be released, the aircraft carrier loses its function. It is absolutely inappropriate to press it up abruptly. It is simply acting as a target for the other party. Therefore, the aircraft carrier has fallen behind. Under the current situation , Is destined to be a tragic naval battle, just like the previous Jutland naval battle!
After receiving the news of the attack on their Deutsche Deutschland, they accelerated their speed and tried to rendezvous with the Deutsche Deutschland, and now they finally arrived.
At a distance of 15 nautical miles, the 406 mm naval gun on Bismarck was ready, and now it was almost facing, so only the six naval guns on the two front turrets had firing angles.
Time goes back five minutes.
At the forefront of the formation, the battleship "Scharnhorst", the candidate for Lieutenant Guth on the foremast lookout platform concentrated on observing.
This battleship is the successor to the German class.
After the signing of Germany and the United Kingdom, the Versailles Peace Treaty imposed restrictions on the German Navy and allowed Germany to build warships with a displacement of 35,000 tons.
The 10,000-ton German class can no longer meet the needs of the German Navy. In the month when the agreement was signed, Germany started construction of the newly designed Scharnhorst class.
At the beginning, this was only an enlarged version of the German-class, with a displacement of only 19,000 tons and a main gun caliber of 305 mm.
But then, the design plan was modified, the displacement was increased to 35,000 tons, the twin-mounted 380 mm main gun was installed, the maximum armor thickness was 360 mm, and the steam turbine was replaced to increase the speed to 31 knots.
Historically, due to the development progress, three triple-mounted 283mm main guns were finally used. It is planned to wait until the 380mm gun is successfully developed and then replaced with a new gun.
Now, the German naval guns are quite mature. Therefore, this battleship did not use the 283mm naval guns, but directly on the 380mm naval guns, but the number of naval guns was reduced. It was originally a triple-mounted 283. After becoming a 380, it becomes a double-mounted ~EbookFREE.me~The turret seat is exactly the same.
There are also many doubts about the division of this warship.
The displacement of this warship is comparable to that of British battleships. The high speed of 32 knots is comparable to that of battlecruisers, the armor thickness is stronger than that of battlecruisers, and the firepower is comparable to that of battlecruisers.
Similar to the Deutsche, the result was that the British battleships could not catch up, the cruisers could not fight, and the battlecruisers would also suffer from the competition. It was very suitable for breaking through the Atlantic.
Now, the ocean is turbulent. In order to be able to see farther, the lookouts are all standing on high places. The shaking is even more severe. The average person will be vomited after going up for a few minutes.
Lieutenant Gus has been insisting on it. Before joining the navy, Lieutenant Gus was already a crew member. He was used to this kind of bumps.
Suddenly, he found a puff of clear smoke in the eyepiece, and turned the dial with a flash of light. The bearing was about 15 degrees to the starboard side, and he found the target!
So he immediately grabbed the phone to report to the bridge, so all the telescopes on the entire "Scharnhorst" turned to starboard.
Soon, the target was confirmed, and the "Scharnhorst" reported to the flagship Bismarck with a light signal that "an unknown target was found at 15 degrees starboard."
On the Bismarck, General Lütjens immediately issued a battle order: "The whole fleet accelerates and is ready to fight!"
