Chapter 1006 Bloody Battle 1
Chapter 1006 Bloody Battle 1
The Japanese have even more reasons. It has to be said that the Japanese Navy is still very detailed in doing things. They have studied every battle of the German Navy themselves. In particular, the fight between Su Xiong's fleet and Thomas' fleet is the focus of attention. They discovered that the fundamental reason why Su Xiong's fleet had a certain advantage in the battle was that it could penetrate the Queen's armor. And if it is assumed that the Queen can block the German 350MM naval gun, then in terms of sheer projection, the Queen should be similar to the Helgeland-class battleship. The former has a large caliber and a single shot weight, while the latter has a high rate of fire but light shells. In terms of damage to non-core areas, it's actually only half a dozen!
After a series of comparisons, the Japanese believe that their warships have more blood (large tonnage), good enough armor defense (330MM armor with an 18-degree tilt, you can trust it!), one inch larger artillery caliber, and 2 more guns! It's cool to be close to him, and the Japanese also have a similar idea to Negovan. If he gets close, he may penetrate it...
Like ferocious beasts with red eyes, the two battleships rushed forward without hesitation, and then launched into a terrifying battle! When the two sides pulled in to 13,500 meters, both warships were covered by the flames when they fired and the water columns generated when the opponent's shells hit the water! Like an ancient Titan, he waved the lightning and sword in his hands desperately to strike at his opponent!
A few minutes later, two huge fireballs once again rose from the huge hull of the Fuso. One of the fireballs landed on the stern of the battleship, smashing the seaplane facility behind the main gun group into pieces, while another shell hit the At the bottom of the No. 2 chimney, there was a loud noise, and half of the flue was blown to pieces. Although the honeycomb armor prevented large pieces of debris from entering the lower power compartment, the middle part of the hull was still filled with thick smoke... ....
The Fuso did not let its opponent be complacent for too long. Two 15-inch shells hit the United Forces again. One shell directly hit the light protection zone at the bow of the battleship. The size and impact of the 15-inch shells were truly terrifying, directly hitting the ship. A 2-meter long hole was torn open slightly above the waterline of the bow! And the cabin at the back was blown to pieces, and another shell hit the armor belt in the middle of the hull. Although it still did not penetrate, the violent impact caused part of the armor back plate to collapse, and a gap appeared between the two pieces of armor. A long, thin crack!
The continuous bombardment finally cleared up the spirits of both sides. In this ideal fighting situation, the bloody fight made both sides feel a little bit of terror. After less than 10 seconds of relief, Within minutes, the United Forces hit its opponent 6 times! The Fuso also returned the favor 4 times! Groups of flames exploded on the hull from time to time. Violent explosions and the shattering of the bridge were heard constantly. When the secondary guns of both sides began to enter the battle, the flames and smoke quickly spread on the deck like demon blood!
A boxing round lasts for 3 minutes, with a 1-minute rest in between. The burst of hits in such a short period of time made both sides feel a bit overwhelmed. After a while, the United Forces, which was smaller and had less HP, took the initiative to release smoke and pull away at the same time. distance, and the Fuso didn't pursue it either.
The speed and course were also adjusted appropriately.
"The bow of the ship was hit twice, the secondary armor belt was penetrated twice, and more than 700 tons of water entered. The battleship tilted slightly, a flue was hit, and the exhaust gas poured into a boiler chamber. I wanted to eliminate it. I'm afraid it will take some time for the failure to occur. The fire on the ship can be controlled quickly, but one of the barrels of the No. 3 turret was blown off, and there is also something wrong with the servo of the other gun. But it should be repaired soon." Huo Erdi reported to Negovan.
"It seems that we have encountered a strong enemy this time." The lieutenant general touched his chin. "Hold on, I believe that Count Spee will get here before the French!" Ten minutes later, under the command of the lieutenant general, the United Forces launched another attack!
The situation of the battleship Fuso on the other side is also not very good. In Kato Sadaikichi's view, this battle is much more difficult than God's battle with Nevada. The gun mount of the No. 3 turret was hit by a 350MM shell. Although it did not penetrate, it However, the turret was temporarily stuck, and a shot was hit near the drive shaft at the rear of the hull, and the outer armor was penetrated. Although the shell was eventually blocked by the dome armor, it still seemed to have some impact on the navigation of the battleship. . At the same time, it also brought in at least 300 tons of water. The few shells that hit the armor belt of the hull were nothing, at most they opened a crack. After hastily extinguishing the fire, the Fuso rushed forward again without hesitation! I am a 32,000-ton battleship! What are you afraid of! Kato Sadayoshi said in his heart.
Both parties took a break, rolled up their sleeves and continued working! But when the two warships fought together again this time, the situation was a little different!
"The opponent's defense seems to be beyond our imagination!" When he once again saw a shell hitting the side of the Fuso and turning into a large firework, a drop of cold sweat fell on Negovan's head. Once, the Austro-Hungarian lieutenant general made an even more extreme choice! The two sides were once close to 12 kilometers! For today's battleships, this distance is already a face-to-face fight!
The United Forces' shelling is still accurate and rapid, as terrifying as a ferocious cheetah! In this close-quarters fight, the six remaining artillery pieces on the United Forces fired at a super-high rate of fire of 25 seconds per round! It is already close to the theoretical rate of fire of naval guns! You must know that shooting in actual combat requires adjustment and aiming, unlike when measuring the theoretical rate of fire, where you only need to complete one cycle! Shells fell like raindrops on the deck of the Fuso, and the United Forces even stuck three shells in the face of the Fuso in a salvo!
Almost at the same time, three huge fireballs rose from the hull of the Fuso. One of the shells directly shattered the No. 2 chimney into pieces, while another shell was shot from the upper gun gallery of the Fuso. The 6-inch gun exploded directly into the air more than ten meters. At the same time, a large amount of shrapnel penetrated the compartment of another gun position, beating a dozen gunners inside to a pulp! Then a shell hit the bow of the Fuso. With the sound of tearing metal and explosions, the fragile armor belt was directly torn open with a hole of more than ten square meters! This round of shooting immediately scarred the Fuso!
But the Fuso, which dominates the Far East and beats the Americans violently, is not easy to deal with. If the United Forces' attack is like a heavy sword, then the Fuso's attack is like a heavy hammer! Although the number of hits is not as good as that of the opponent, every blow is fatal!
