"Boom, boom, boom......"

"Major General! Another straddle shot! ”

"Got it!" Hans. Rear Admiral Landsdorf suddenly had a very familiar feeling - as a German admiral who had lost two ships, he could already smell the smell of the shipwreck. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

That's the taste, yes!

The smoke of gunpowder mixed with the fishy smell of seawater, surging one after another, and there was a huge water injection rising all around, and everyone in the bridge looked panicked, and the first mate who was operating the ship was engrossed in his ability to eat milk.

But it's useless!

As a high-ranking naval officer who had twice been caught in the water and was recovered, Rear Admiral Landsdorf had recently been given the opportunity to go to the Naval Staff College for a short period of training - a technique that Marshal Lütjens considered to be poor and needed to be studied. And he still learned something at the Naval Staff College, he learned about the latest British and American fire control radar technology, so he knew that his new ship, the heavy cruiser Lützov, was in extreme danger. If you don't get away as soon as possible, you're almost certainly sunk.

Because now 2 South Dakota-class battleships and 4 Soviet-class battleships are concentrating their fire on the hapless German heavy cruiser.

"Straddle shot!"

"Ulla!"

Inside the bridge of the battleship USS Soviet, a cheer rang out. Although the professional quality of the commanders and fighters of the Red Navy is slightly inferior, the big guys still know what "straddle shooting" means.

"Comrade Political Commissar, the Soviet Union fired a straddle shot in the first two salvos!" Kuznetsov proudly said to the great layman Bulganin, "This is better than the two battleships of the Americans!" ”

Of course, this is a fool's words, the four Soviet-class and the two South Dakota-class ships are in the same view, and the one in charge of the observation is the Massachusetts, and the Soviet Union is only firing according to the Zhuyuan given by the Massachusetts -- before the four Soviet-class ships go to New York, the experts of the US Navy have repeatedly tested the 406mm main guns on the Soviet-class and have all the data on them. Therefore, in Massachusetts, the design elements of 4 Soviet-class guns can be directly calculated. The gunners of the Soviet Red Navy only had to fire according to the Zhuyuan given by the Americans, and the Massachusetts had already fired seven or eight salvos before, and the Zhuyuan had already been corrected.

The 2nd Bismarck-class battleships of the 2nd Squadron of the "Boom Boom ......Boom" European Combined Fleet and the 2 Richelieu and 2 Barbarossa also kicked off the attack on the side of the European allies with the 44 380mm naval guns they carried. The commander of the team, Major General Lindeman, knew very well that the enemy's firepower was far stronger than his own, so he had to sink or severely damage the two South Dakota-class ships as soon as possible, otherwise the opponent's 54 406mm cannons would sooner or later wipe out his team.

Ingersoll looked at the water injection raised dozens of meters away, and just snorted softly: "The Alabama counterattacked the enemy's battleship formation, and the rest of the ships concentrated their firepower to bombard the heavy cruiser and sink it." ”

The purpose of his single ship counterattack on the Alabama was also to find the right shot, so that he could hit the enemy battleship as soon as possible.

As for the German heavy cruiser, since it has all fired straddles, it should be able to sink soon.

"Near-missed!"

A shout rang in Lansdorf's ears, and he hurriedly pulled the handrail beside him, and at that moment a 406mm shell fell in the water less than 20 meters next to the port side of the Lützov. A huge column of white smoke rose into the air, more than twenty meters high, and the stirred up sea water rushed towards the Lützov, almost wetting half of the ship.

Landsdorf had just breathed a sigh of relief and escaped the catastrophe when disaster finally struck! A 406mm shell fired by Soviet Russia hit the main armor belt of the broadside of the Lützov. The 80mm armor simply could not block the 406mm shells, which not only made a wide opening in the side of the Lyutsov, but also penetrated the boiler compartment all the way and fell in the boiler compartment. However, it was very fortunate that the fuse of this 406mm shell produced in the Soviet Union had quality problems and did not detonate the shell.

However, the huge impact force still caused damage to the Lützov, one steam pipe burst, most of the power was lost in an instant, and the speed was reduced from 32 knots to 15 knots.

Now everyone knows that the Lützov is finished! I can't beat it, I can't run away, I can only hold on and wait for death.

"Boom!"

After only 2 minutes, a huge fireball suddenly rose on the rear deck of the heavy cruiser Lützov! The No. 4 turret of this heavy cruiser seemed to have been kicked by some powerful giant, and it didn't know where it flew. Fortunately, the fuse of the 406mm shell, also produced by the Soviet Union, was so sensitive that it exploded at the same time as the No. 4 turret was concentrated. Therefore, the turret was blown away, and the turret under the turret and the protective wall of the turret shaft were not blown through - otherwise the ammunition would be detonated!

However, the explosion of this Soviet shell caused a large fire (there may have been ammunition in the chamber at that time), and the blazing flames began to test the ammunition depot. Ransdorf, who already knew that the Lyuzhov was dead, did not hesitate at all and immediately ordered the ammunition depot to be filled with water. The influx of several hundred tons of seawater has further slowed down the ship, and now there is no hope for the Lyutzov, but it is not known how long it will last.

Rear Admiral Landsdorf then gave the order to abandon the ship (the captain and first mate were of course to fight to the end), which was premature in view of the damage to the Lützov. But considering that it provoked 6 battleships, it is still wise to abandon the ship now. Just as most of the sailors and officers were retreating in an orderly manner, a 406mm bomb from the battleship Massachusetts hit the Ryutzov again. This time, the shell broke into the engine room of the Lützov and exploded, depriving the heavy cruiser of a standard displacement of 15,200 tons of power and causing an uncontrollable fire.

The heavy cruiser Lütsov turned into a floating fireship!

"Marshal, it's the heavy cruiser Lutzov...... It's over! "William. Vice Admiral Messer reported to his superior, Admiral Lütjans, somewhat depressed, that he did not expect that the other party would actually have trouble with a heavy cruiser.

"See," said Admiral Lütjans calmly, "save as much as you can, and give up if you can't do it." ”

By the time he gave the order to "abandon the Lützov", the 1st Squadron under his personal command had already engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with the 2nd Squadron of the Allied Combined Fleet.

The 6 battleships of the 1st Sentai did not choose to concentrate their firepower, but attacked 3 battleships of the opposing side at the same time. The Hindenburg and Ludendorff were responsible for shelling the Duke of York, the Veneto and Litorio were responsible for the Anson, and the Roma and Imperial were bombarding the Howe.

At the same time, Admiral Lütjans also ordered the 3rd Sentai to continue to approach the enemy's 5 battleships/battlecruisers and 2 heavy cruisers - as long as the distance between the 3rd Sentai and the opponent is reduced to 20,000 meters, it can launch 6 powerful V3 remote-controlled missiles!

……

"It's a straddle shot!" Vice Admiral Fraser withdrew his gaze from the battleship Alabama in front of him and looked at Admiral Ingersoll with some anxiety.

Admiral Ingersoll's decision to "sink the Lützov first" was later considered a major mistake. Because in the process of sinking the Ryutzov (the heavy patrol exploded after the 4th hit and sank), 6 battleships of the Combined European Fleet also found the Massachusetts and Alabama. Bismarck, Tirpitz and Barbarossa concentrated their fire on the Massachusetts. The Barr, the Napoleon Emperor, and the Schlieffen concentrated on bombarding the Alabama.

That is, two American battleships each spread 22 380mm cannons!

Although immediately after the sinking of the Lützov, Ingersoll ordered a concentrated fire on the battleship Tirpitz (of which the Alabama had already fired at the Tirpitz). But the lead was lost, and before all six battleships of the Allied Combined Fleet had adjusted their muzzles, the opposing side had fired five volleys, and one straddle fire in the fourth and fifth rounds (against the Massachusetts and the Alabama, respectively).

Now it's only a matter of time before these two American battleships get shot! Now it's up to them to see if their armor can withstand the bombardment of enemy 380mm shells.

……

"Boom!"

A huge fireball rose outside the port side armor belt of the battleship Ludendorff, a huge battleship of the H39 that was hit by the British Duke of York - it was not surprising that the three British battleships fired at the Ludendorff first.

"Withstand!" Admiral Lütjans was relieved to see the shape of the fire. The 330mm broadside armor stood the test! At a distance of 24000 meters, it still withstood the bombardment of the British's 14-British (356mm) guns.

"Straddle shot!"

At this time, the people in the bridge of the Hindenburg cheered, and it turned out that the sixth salvo fired by the Hindenburg and the Ludendorff formed a straddle fire on the Duke of York. It was only a matter of time before it hit, and this King George V-class battleship could not withstand the bombardment of 406mm guns anyway.

As long as it can hit, it is very likely to cause damage to the power system of this battleship and slow it down. Due to the presence of 3 P-class missile cruisers, a slowdown would have been fatal for the Duke of York.

Because once the Duke of York slows down, the 3 P-class ships (belonging to the 3rd Sentai Fleet) will quickly get within 20,000 meters of it, and 6 V3-2 radio-controlled missiles weighing 2.2 tons will kill this King George V-class battleship! (To be continued.) )
