Chapter 1011: A Flipped Battle

Anti-piracy chapters, no way, anti-anti-piracy is a bit ...... bad. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info The old time has changed, and today it is three more!

What happens when a hyena is bitten by a tiger? Isn't that simple? Nature is simply dead! But alas, the first drop of blood in this counterattack was fought by Tegerhoff! A 635KG ARMOR-PIERCING SHELL EASILY TORE THROUGH THE OUTER ARMOR OF THE CENTRAL AMMUNITION DEPOT OF THE HUGO ARMORED CRUISER, AND THEN WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN AND EXPLODED DIRECTLY ON THE UPPER LAYER OF THE AMMUNITION DEPOT FULL OF SHELLS! With an earth-shattering bang, a huge ball of light suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea! The rising smoke and pillars of fire could be seen clearly even from more than a dozen kilometers away, and the apocalyptic scene instantly shocked all the combatants.

The falling debris fell like snowflakes on the surface of the sea in a radius of several square kilometers, and even caused casualties among individual people. A nearby French destroyer was even hit by a piece of shrapnel that pierced the deck because it couldn't dodge, causing damage to the power system. Two minutes later, the destroyer, which had been "mistakenly damaged" by friendly forces, was knocked into a pile of pieces by the secondary guns of Sultan Osman I.

The Gambida was the second casualty, and the goalless Sultan decided to hurry up with Taghoff to get the annoying creature to the bottom of the sea. After several rounds of volleys, the Gambida, whose sidestrings had been battered, capsized completely due to excessive flooding, and when the German fleet withdrew, the seaweed-covered bottom of the ship was still exposed.

The last armored cruiser, the Ferry also did not escape the fate of the battle. After the German battleships easily relieved the opponent's combat effectiveness, the two German destroyers rushed to a place less than 500 meters away from the burning fire in a rage, and then used two torpedoes to cleanly blow up the armored cruiser with a length of more than 160 meters into three sections! And the battle came to this, and the German fleet once again regained control of the situation!

The three French battleships that were besieging Prince Eugen in the distance also noticed the situation, and the three French armored cruisers were completely destroyed by the Germans' naval guns and torpedoes in less than a quarter of an hour. And now, there is only one Guba-class battleship and two Dandong-class battleships with combat effectiveness in the main sea area, and 4 fast battleships are beaten? Thinking too much, right?! At this time, you need to be thankful that it is night and not daytime! The three French battleships, realizing that the situation was not good, did not have the heart to ink with the Prinz Eugen anymore, and directly turned around and ran away!

As a result, the only remaining French battleship in this sea area was the Lone-class battleship Frade-France, which had been turned into a large torch and floated half-dead on the sea.......

"Finish off the ship with a torpedo, and we'll go!" Looking at the pocket watch in his hand, it has been more than 2 hours since the battle, and the main fleet of the French should be almost there, right? The Count muttered to himself. So the two destroyers quickly approached the battleship France, which had no ability to fight back, with 4 white traces from the sea, more than ten seconds later, a loud bang came from the sea again, the battleship France was directly blown into two sections by the huge lethality of the torpedo, the rear of the hull sank into the sea first, and then the bow, when the German fleet left, the battleship of more than 20,000 tons still had part of the bow unwilling to show the water!

After reining Prince Eugen, the count sailed northeast with 4 fast battleships and the remaining 5 destroyers at a speed of 24 knots. And less than 30 minutes after the German fleet left the sea area of engagement. A large fleet had been slaughtered from the west, and it was the battleship Brestani, the flagship of the French Mediterranean Fleet, and behind him were two super-dreadnought battleships of the same class and two other Guba-class battleships, as well as the battleship Paris and two Danton-class battleships that had just withdrawn from the battlefield and had come over to join them.

After being first overshadowed by submarines, and then by the earl with 4 fast battleships at night, the French fleet is still much stronger than the Allied Mediterranean Fleet, not to mention the 3 dreadnoughts, 3 super dreadnoughts, and 2 quasi-quasi-dreadnoughts that are still complete in battle, and the 2 armored cruiser detachments and 2 destroyer detachments that simply open the way in front are enough to make the Allied Mediterranean Fleet envious, look at the little brother of others, and then look at their own --!

There are still 2 armored cruisers at home, and if you have a destroyer, now go back and add the rest of the family, that is, just over 2 digits? Maybe, anyway, there are definitely not many of them, the Count's order to retreat is still very correct, if you don't leave, it's sure that you will suffer a loss, and it is possible to leave one or two ships behind! After all, the count's fleet is definitely not in good shape.

"Let's count the losses first. Then report it to me. "De. Vice Admiral La Perel said with a gloomy face as he looked at the anchorage in the sea of fire in the distance. Now the lieutenant general is in a very, very bad mood, and there is a faint hint of fear. That's right, it's fear, he really didn't expect that the Allied Mediterranean Fleet, which had always been "honest" before, would choose to enter such an extreme battle.

His anchorage was infiltrated by a submarine, and then he was overshadowed, although it was difficult to accept, but it was understandable, after all, shortly after the start of the war, a German submarine killed 3 British armored cruisers and more than 2,000 naval officers and sailors on them in one night.

But then, the wind of the whole thing changed all at once! He really couldn't understand how the victory brought by this sneak attack could give the Germans so much excitement?! It's like taking a stimulant, let Count Spay kill it directly with all four fast battleships, and it was killed at night! Don't you die?! In the event of a loss, the Allies' maritime power in the Mediterranean would be in vain. The Count's resoluteness made the lieutenant general feel a burst of weakness and puzzlement!

Be reasonable, de. Vice Admiral La Perel analyzed the impact of this submarine sneak attack, and the loss of a super dreadnought did make the French fleet feel heartache, but it definitely did not break the muscles and bones, let alone change the basic situation of the Mediterranean theater of operations. In the vice admiral's view, if the German fleet wants to make a move, the difference between before the sneak attack and after the sneak attack is actually not big, one less super dreadnought, the German fleet is still not their opponent, and one more super dreadnought, the French fleet still can't catch up with the German fleet .......

So, in Germany. In the opinion of Lieutenant General La Perel, it is completely unreasonable for the Germans to do this! At least from the perspective of the Mediterranean, this is more like a decision made by the other side at the top. Or rather, under the stimulus of some external factors, let the Count take risks!
