Chapter 1312 A wave of flow

Although the destroyer is small, it is still more than 80 meters long! Facing the sudden turn of the German battleship, the two Japanese destroyers and frigates made different choices. One destroyer began to turn, trying to reveal the torpedo tube on the side of the ship. Continue to charge, and then launch torpedoes, but the other destroyer subconsciously chose to evade.

However, I don't know whether it was because of being too nervous or because of other reasons. Neither destroyer pulled out the smoke screen immediately. Maybe they felt that the secondary batteries on the opposite side were not very powerful? Doesn't it have much to do with China's first hair? But sorry, this time the two German battleships even used their main guns...

Continuing to decide to fight to the death, a water column of more than 40 meters high suddenly rose 15 meters in front of the destroyer Kagero! The water falling from the sky instantly bathed the front deck of the Kagero with sea water, and it was not too late. Just 20 seconds later, another 350MM high-explosive bomb successfully lined up the torpedo in the middle of the Kagero's hull. Take care! As a result, the Kagero became the first sacrifice to be put on the altar of the God of War. The torpedoes in the two torpedo tubes exploded and directly took away the 900-ton destroyer. In an instant, hundreds of tons of steel were blown into countless pieces.

As for the other destroyer, it did not run out when faced with the two German battleships that suddenly concentrated all its firepower. It turned around, turned around, and put up a smoke screen, and then was overtaken by flying shells 9,000 meters away from the two German battleships. It was also a 350MM armor-piercing bullet, which directly tore off the engine room at the rear of the hull and turned the waterline part of the hull into a colander...

Just before the German fleet had time to cheer for its physiology, a fire suddenly broke out in the middle of the Gneisenau's hull, and a 14-inch armor-piercing projectile fired from the Kirishima hit the decelerated ship. battleship. But it wasn't a big problem, it was directly deflected by the thick armor. After the hit, only a scratch of more than 1 meter long was left on the water part of the starboard side of the battleship.

"Continue to turn right one compass point! Our opportunity is here!" Su Xiong ordered loudly. At this time, after two Japanese destroyers were killed in a very short period of time, the other three Japanese destroyers subconsciously chose to avoid and were temporarily struck by lightning. The pressure was gone, and the German fleet did not reopen the distance for battle line engagements as the Japanese imagined. Instead, it continued to turn right and tried to cross diagonally in front of the two Japanese battlecruisers. It’s not clear that we want to fight in close combat!

"Holy shit! Are you going to fight to the death?" Others in Shanwu were also stunned. He didn't expect that the German fleet, which has always been known for its strong ships and powerful artillery, actually planned to fight hand-to-hand? Give up the advantage of long-distance combat and risk your own life? What is the other person thinking?

While others in Shanwu were hesitating, two more shells hit the German warship. Although the speed change rate of both sides is still very large, at this time, the distance between the two sides has shortened to about 12 kilometers! Therefore, the hit rate of the Japanese fleet also began to rise sharply. Perhaps because of the results, others in Yamawu hesitated and did not issue orders to evade or release smoke screens. "Maybe this time we can directly kill a German battleship?" Others in Shanwu said in their hearts.

boom! A few seconds ago, Su Xiong felt what an earthquake was for the first time... A shell directly hit the side of the command tower. Fortunately, the 15-inch-thick command tower was quite powerful. But the shock was still unavoidable. After standing up while holding on to the wall, Su Xiong immediately picked up the ship's phone instead of looking after his colleagues who were also shaken: "Get ready to fire, get closer! Kill them!" "

The two German fast battleships rushed towards the Japanese fleet like crazy behemoths, and fired their first salvo when the distance was as close as 10,500 meters! That's right, after killing the Japanese destroyer, the German battleship did not attack the Japanese battleship with its main gun. The few remaining armor-piercing bullets can no longer be wasted easily, so they are waiting for a moment when they can kill with one hit!

10,500 meters! This is a combat distance that the battleships of both sides have almost never experienced in daylight conditions since the beginning of the first battle. This distance is simply too close! Compared with the battleship's main gun, it can be considered as putting the muzzle of the gun on the opponent's head!

However, this time, the defensive power of the German battleships once again refreshed the Japanese senses! At a distance of about 10 kilometers, the Japanese battleship's 14-inch shells were bounced away again and again! The two German battleships shuttled between the flames and water columns, and fireballs flew up from time to time on them. However, they continued to fight like an unbeatable hydra, and counterattacked the Japanese fleet with fierce shelling!

"They are simply invulnerable monsters. At such a close distance, we can even use a telescope to clearly observe the details on the opponent's warship! We hope that we can pierce the opponent's armor with the spear in our hands like a dragon-slaying warrior, but in reality Once again, we were desperate. The German warships were immune to our attacks time and time again, and then aimed their thick and long 350mm artillery at us!" A Japanese officer on the King Kong recalled the scene at that time.

"I'm going to suffer!" When the main guns of the two German fast battleships once again sprayed tongues of fire at the two Japanese battlecruisers, others in Yamawu felt their hearts pounding. A feeling of fear came from the depths of his soul. This bone-chilling chill and fear made his reaction slow down by half a beat!

The first round of attacks successfully clamped the target, and the second round of semi-volley continued to clamp the target! In the third and a half salvo, the battleship Scharnhorst successfully stuck two shells in the face of the King Kong! The first shell directly penetrated the front of King Kong's No. 1 turret, but how could the 8-inch armor withstand the German 350MM armor-piercing projectile 10 kilometers away?

This armor-piercing bullet left a huge circular bullet hole in the armor plate, but the projectile body was still intact! And it exploded after hitting the ammunition rack in the turret tail compartment! Fortunately, the ammunition at the back is not much, just 2 shells and 2 packets of propellant, but even so, it is enough for the King Kong to drink a pot!

The fire storm generated by the violent explosion instantly swept across the entire turret. The huge energy even lifted half of the turret roof, and the turret rangefinder behind was blown into a pile of fragments! The overwhelming smoke of the fire quickly enveloped the high bridge of the King Kong, blown by the sea breeze.

The second shell flew higher, and this shot hit the top of the King Kong's mast directly. The 6-meter-long rangefinder and the fire control room below were brought together. The entire battleship seemed to be carrying a torch, and these two guns really frightened the others in Shanwu.
