Chapter 1,314 The End

Chapter 1314 The End

boom! Almost at the same time, dazzling flashes of light appeared at the front of Kirishima's No. 2 turret and No. 3 turret! Two armor-piercing shells hit the unlucky battleship again. One shell directly turned the No. 3 turret into a burning iron box, and the No. 2 turret was partially hit in the base. The violent explosion directly ignited the cannonballs and propellant packs on the conveyor, and the entire hull seemed to be shaken by this fatal blow! The entire bomb delivery channel was blown to pieces! A blazing fireball broke through the constraints of several decks and rose into the air!

Even on the command tower, Keisaburo Moriyama could feel the battleship shaking like chaff. Thick smoke and flames spread from the overtime position. Although it had not entered the ammunition depot for the time being, the area near the No. 2 turret had become a The flaming hell began to spread around.

The roaming fire dragon completely cut off the relationship between the middle and rear parts of the hull and the front part. The Japanese naval officers and soldiers behind could only watch helplessly as their besieged colleagues not far away finally fell under the flames and thick smoke. The dying wails of the injured and the crackling sounds of the flames resounded in the dim corridor, making the survivors shudder!

As of now, the Kirishima is destined to be unable to go back. Even if the German fleet stops attacking now, and even if all Japanese battleships now quickly provide help to the Kirishima, it is absolutely impossible for this poor battleship to return to the Allied ports across a distance of thousands of nautical miles.

The entire front part of the hull above the water has been engulfed in flames and thick smoke, while the underwater and internal cabins have turned into fish ponds. The so-called half fire, half ocean refers to the current Kirishima! The Kirishima, which has taken in 4,000 tons of water but has not yet sunk, also proves from another perspective that the Armstrong Company was quite conscientious when building the Kongo class.

However, no matter how conscientious the design is, there is absolutely no way to save this poor battlecruiser. The half-pull bow has already entered the water. Under the influence of huge gravity, the propeller at the rear of the hull leaves the water from time to time. It was buzzing in the air. From Su Xiong's point of view, this first tilt is already 15 degrees, right? It was also accompanied by a serious shift to the left. If I could go back, God would collapse. It is completely inconsistent with the laws of physics formulated by his old man!

"Do you still have more ammunition?" Looking at the Kirishima in the distance, which had been killed within 8 minutes, Su Xiong did not cheer like others. He always grasped a speed that put him at the peak of victory. You will not slide down the bottomless abyss because of your own arrogance and arrogance!

"There are 180 rounds of ammunition left for all the main guns. Among them, there are only 30 armor-piercing rounds." After a while, the gunnery officer on the Scharnhorst reported the remaining ammunition.

"Let's go quickly, our mission has been completed." Scharnhorst's situation is very bad now. There are 8 main guns with a total of 960 rounds of shells. Only one-fifth of the ammunition is left. And there are even fewer armor-piercing bullets. There are only 5 usable main guns left. It is difficult for high-explosive bombs to destroy battleships.

Even if the King Kong on the opposite side only has 8 main items. And there is a Yamashiro fast battleship next to it that I don’t know if it will come back!

A few minutes ago, the Gneisenau also sent a signal. The signal clearly stated that it had fired the last round of armor-piercing bombs... If you don't run now, what are you waiting for? Are you waiting to give the Japanese a chance to fight back? Therefore, after it was finally confirmed that the battleship Kirishima could not return, the Scharnhorst immediately changed its course, drew a circle on the sea, and rushed towards the north. The Gneisenau was also unambiguous. Before leaving, I also put up a smoke screen...

"Your Excellency, Commander, the German fleet is gone!" In fact, the last two German fast battleships violently attacked the Kirishima for a very short time, and there were not many hits. So when the German fleet put up the smoke screen, the Kongo was not there yet. Deal with the fire at the front of your turret neatly... As for contact with the Kirishima? There is no time at all. The King Kong had a smoke screen, so it was impossible to see what was going on next to it. As for the radio? This thing hasn’t been working properly since I got a telegram yesterday….

"What? The German fleet left?" Others in Shanwu were stunned at first, and then he couldn't figure out why the German fleet came up aggressively and only fought for a few minutes. Why did it turn back again? Especially in such an advantageous situation. However, we are not concerned about why the Germans left now, because the German fleet wants to leave, and the Japanese really have no choice. Even if a King Kong can catch up with the opponent, do you dare to catch up?

"How is the Kirishima?" At this time, others in Yamaya remembered that there was a colleague who could not escape. However, when he looked out from the observation port, others in Shanwu, who had a hint of joy on their faces because of the roar of the German fleet, immediately felt that they had been hurt by 1000T...

"The Kirishima...is it over?" In just a few words, others in Yamaya actually spoke for a full minute! With a pale face, he stretched out a hand and pointed with difficulty at the Kirishima, which was slowly sinking into the sea in the distance.

"The Kirishima probably won't be able to go back," the Kongo captain said with a long sigh.

"They left at this time?" Others in Shanwu could not believe it.

"Maybe there is not enough ammunition? After all, they fought three battles, once last night and twice today." The captain of the King Kong said.

"Fuck! Go after them and kill them!" At this time, others in the mountain house seemed to have reacted. He roared and pointed in the direction of the retreating German fleet.

"However, we can't catch up with them. Besides, we may not have enough ammunition." The chief of staff next to him said loudly. Let the others in Shanwu, who almost fell into madness, realize that if they lose this battle, they lose it, and there is no point in continuing to struggle.

"Although the Kirishima cannot go back, the people on it still have to try their best to rescue it. There is also the Yamashiro. Find it and take it back." After others in Yamaya said this, they seemed to be deflated. The ball usually sits on the chair and never says a word.

At this point in the battle, the showdown between surface battleships has ended. There is no doubt that the Japanese fleet lost completely. Before, some people in the Japanese navy laughed at Thomas for bringing five Queen Elizabeth battleships but letting the German fleet slip away under his nose, and even knocked out some of the Queen's teeth. . Previously, some people believed that in the Battle of the Mediterranean, the Japanese Navy's two Fuso-class battleships were proud of their ability to stabilize two Austro-Hungarian fast battleships, thinking that they were already on an equal footing with the world's top navy. Even better than them.
