Chapter 537: Three Rounds of Attack
Although the range of the battleship can reach more than 40 kilometers on the Chinese New Year's Eve, the bombardment can, and if you want to achieve a record, the battle-weariness is the most Chinese New Year's Eve battleship's attack on the Yungong battleship. Chinese Net
However, when the British fleet crossed the red line at a distance of 24 kilometers, under the accurate guidance of radar, the 406 mm 24 naval guns on the Zhenyuan and Dingyuan fired together and bombarded the British.
According to the radar, the Zhenyuan and Dingyuan aimed at one of the targets that seemed to be the most Chinese New Year's Eve.
"Enemy shelling!" On the several warships walking in front, the British officers and men all shouted Chinese New Year's Eve. Although it was already dusk, the cannonballs flying in the sky could still be seen clearly. The goal seemed to be the same, attacking only the battleship Prince of Wales.
Under the pressure of the Germans day by day, the construction of the Prince of Wales was completed more than three months ahead of schedule. This time, in order to hit the German fleet to the limit of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the Prince of Wales, which had just been completed at the end of November, hastily commissioned and joined the hunt. But before a single shot could be fired, it was shelled first.
Twenty-four shells were scattered around, and the bullet points were widely dispersed, but still two hits.
At 17:01, a 406-mm shell smashed like a Chinese New Year's Eve hammer, hitting the No. 1 main turret with one shot and the other into the bridge compass room of the Prince of Wales. Although the distance was a little longer and the power was slightly reduced, the Prince of Wales was still seriously injured.
The Prince of Wales's No. 1 main turret was damaged, malfunctioned, and was directly destroyed, while the crew on the bridge was either killed or wounded, and even the new captain Richie fell in a pool of blood.
The first attack of the second class dreadnought-class battleship opened the bonus. With the exception of the Prince of Wales, a G-class destroyer was hit by a near-miss bomb and quickly sank in two pieces. Meng Xiang, who was paying attention, heard the real-time prompt of the flower, and saw that the merits had risen a lot all of a sudden, and he knew that he had a record. The Dreadnought-class battleships turned out to be the Red Alert weapons produced by the base, and the base has the most detailed control over them.
"Go ahead and follow the designated target to return fire!" John Tovey commanded with a slight bitterness in his heart.
The radar on battleships such as the King George V also caught the Zhenyuan and others, but at such a long distance, it was a bit of luck to be able to hit it in the despicable sea conditions.
The King George V was the first to return fire, and with the help of radar, 10 14-inch guns fired a salvo at the Zhenyuan, which had a slight protrusion.
After determining the purpose and coordinates, the accompanying battlecruisers Hood and Return, as well as the battleships Queen Elizabeth, Nelson, and Rodney, also followed and fired their guns, aiming at Zhenyuan together. The two Nagato-class battleships purchased by the British also attacked with them.
Except for the battleship Revenge, which was left behind because of its slow speed, guarding the aircraft carrier Dreadnought, which was shrinking behind, and the damaged Prince of Wales, which did not fire its guns, the other eight main battleships all bombarded the Zhenyuan in unison. The British made up their minds to concentrate their firepower on the destruction of one super-class battleship first, and then on the other.
When Wang Xiu saw the sixty or seventy black dots rushing towards him, he Chinese New Year's Eve opened his mouth for a while, and he could only watch the black dots become more and more Chinese New Year's Eve in his pupils, and he couldn't do anything. Ren Hoffmann commanded the Scharnhorst for a long time, and he had never seen such a collective pomp. These are the most 350 mm naval artillery shells, and the most Chinese New Year's Eve Nagato-class 410 mm naval artillery shells. The Scharnhorst was about to break its muscles and bones when it was fired, and at this time, it was full of eyes and numbness. At this time, any evasive action is futile, and the final judgment is the power of the goddess of fate.
Unfortunately, the British were not very lucky, and they smashed down sixty or seventy main artillery shells, and only two of them hit the Zhenyuan. The King George V hit the No. 2 main turret with one shot, but the 355 mm shot not only stunned the soldiers near the No. 2 turret, but also had no Chinese New Year's Eve effect on the 450 mm thick turret with the main armor.
The 42-caliber 381-mm guns of the battleship Queen Elizabeth were not much more powerful than the 45-caliber 355-mm guns of the King George V, and they smashed on the bridge that protected the 450-mm bridge, and except for one unfavorable German soldier who was killed on the spot, the others were only minor injuries.
Although the advanced gun-sighting radar of the Dreadnought class also played a role, in fact, based on the fact that the main gun in the battleship battle was only 3% hit, in such an environment, both sides had some element of luck.
The second blow of the Zhenyuan and Dingyuan found nothing except that the water column injured a destroyer.
The second round in which the British continued to bombard the Zhenyuan also handed in a blank sheet.
In the third round, the Dingyuan made another new contribution, and a cannonball hit the stern deck of a Nagato-class battleship and smashed directly into it. The explosion destroyed the Nagato-class's drivetrain, causing it to collapse there. The Zhenyuan's attack did not hit. Among this pile of naval guns, the 410-mm naval guns of the Nagato-class are the most threatening Chinese New Year's Eve. With radar scanning and feedback from aerial reconnaissance intelligence, the two warships first aimed at the Nagato-class.
"Activate the positioning system!" Meng Xiang, who was thousands of miles away, heard the real-time report of Long Wu on the Dingyuan at this time, and suddenly thought that in order to guard against those potential enemies, Meng Xiang had opened a back door on the battleship that was sold. The Nagato-class battleships sold to the British were no exception. At this time, I heard that two Nagato-class battleships also intervened in the siege, and immediately opened the back door.
The pre-embedded signal source began to clearly mark the location and send signals outward, and the second-level dreadnought-class battleships that received the signal increased the control of the brain on Chinese New Year's Eve, although it was not within the direct scale of the base, but it was still possible to increase the accuracy of positioning.
At the beginning, in order to earn meritorious service, there was a main artillery battery on each of the Dingyuan and Zhenyuan that was operated by the clones and soldiers of the vanguard army, and at this time, a more accurate positioning coordinate was obtained, and 6 6 mm guns were immediately operated to bombard it
