"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Heavy cannonballs flew out from the muzzle one after another, and under the influence of huge kinetic energy, they smashed into the enemy's warship. The officers and soldiers of Island Nation Navy and German Navy on the battlefield are doing their best to sink the enemy warships. For them, if they want to survive, they have to kill the enemy, there is no other option.
The cannonball exploded in the sea water, splashing a column of water into the sky. This made the entire sea area boil.
Although, Island Nation Navy's Combined Fleet has more battleships. However, they did not gain any advantage in the battle. Even though they were Encirclement Offensive against German warship, they were suppressed instead.
"Boom!"
After a fifteen-minute test launch, the German naval expeditionary fleet finally scored its first hit. A shell fired from the battleship Derfflinger hit the battleship Satsuma of the island nation's navy. The heavy 380mm shells easily tore the two-inch-thick deck armor of the "Satsuma" battleship into pieces. The shells penetrated several layers of bulkheads before exploding. With huge power, the entire bow of the "Satsuma" battleship was blown to pieces. The fire then burned inside the battleship, so that the island nation's sailors rushed into the fire scene to put out the fire without even having time to wear gas masks. I don't know how many people died under the poisonous smoke.
"Asshole! Put out the fire quickly!" Colonel Jutaro Yoshijima, the captain of the battleship Satsuma, shouted loudly.
Once the fire spreads to the ammunition depot, it will be terrible. As Pre-dreadnought'Satsuma', the displacement of Battleship is only more than 19,000 tons. Not only is the armor weak, but the defense power of many internal cabins is also very low. Even a raging fire may cause fatal damage to a battleship.
This order caused more Island Nation sailors to rush into the fire and use their lives to put out the fire.
"Your Excellency Commander, the 'Satsuma' has been hit, and the situation is very bad. Germany's 380mm Main Gun is so powerful, the shells can tear everything apart." Rear Admiral Yamashita Gentarō's face was very ugly.
"What determines the outcome is not those Pre-dreadnoughts, but the four 'Kongo-class' Battleships. If we can quickly cripple or even sink the two Battleships in front of the Germany people's battle line, then we still have a chance." Admiral Ijūin Gorō said.
The four 'Kongo-class' Battleship's 356mm Main Gun are the only ones that can pose a threat to the Germany people's Battleship.
"Find a way to get closer to the Germany people! Only in this way can the power of our main guns be unleashed. Otherwise, it will be difficult for those 305mm Shells to hit the target." Rear Admiral Yamashita Gentarō said.
"This is very difficult, almost impossible. The Germany people will not allow us to close the distance. Except for the four "Kongo-class" of our warships that can reach 25 knots, the rest of the warships are too slow. In terms of speed, we simply cannot catch up with the Germany people's Battlecruiser. If we let 'Kongo-class' Battlecruiser pursue us, it will only cause our 'Kongo-class' Battlecruiser to fall into the Germany people's Encirclement Offensive." Admiral Ijūin Gorō shook his head.
Therefore, the battle can only go on like this. Island Nation Navy Knowing that it is not good for them, but there is no way to change it. Perhaps, they also place their hopes on the blessing of the illusory Amaterasu Omikami.
As time went on, the battle became more intense. In other words, German Navy began to gradually achieve hits through advanced qualities and strong qualities. On the other hand, Island Nation Navy, apart from falling into the sea and frying fish, their shells had no other harvest at all. If this continues, it is undoubtedly obvious which navy will win in the end.
"Boom!" A 343mm Shell launched from the Battlecruiser of the 'Moltke' hit the Battleship of the 'Tango'. This old Battleship, with a displacement of more than 11,000 tons, is already an old ship with a twenty-year history. This Island Nation Navy captured Russia Battleship among Russo-Japanese War. In West country, such Battleship would have been retired long ago. However, in Island Nation Navy, this is still Capital Ships.
The place where the shell hit was the waterline of the 'Tango' No. Battleship. Although, the waterline armor of the 'Tango' number Battleship is 368 mm thick. However, the defensive power of the old armor is very limited, and it cannot resist the new type of armor Armor-piercing Shell. Therefore, the 343mm Shell launched by the Battlecruiser of the 'Moltke' easily penetrated the waterline armor of the Battleship of the 'Tango', and exploded a large hole near the waterline of the ship's hull. Sea water poured into the battleship through the holes crazily.
The Island Nation sailors on the 'Tango' Battleship were desperately trying to plug the loopholes. However, because the hole was too big and the water pressure was too strong, it was impossible to succeed. In addition, the Watertight Compartment settings of the old Battleship numbered 'Tango' Battleship are extremely unreasonable. Even if the Watertight Compartment is turned off, the Battleship will overturn due to too much water.
This has undoubtedly announced the fate of 'Tango' number Battleship.
"Your Excellency Commander, the number Battleship of 'Tango' was hit, and a big hole was blown below the waterline. The damage control personnel have no way to do anything about it." Rear Admiral Yamashita Gentarō reported with a dark face.
Admiral Ijūin Gorō also closed his eyes in pain. Although he knew that in this battle, many Island Nation Battleship would be sunk. But what he didn't expect was that Battleship couldn't hold on so soon. This undoubtedly shows that German Expeditionary Fleet is more powerful than he imagined!
"Let everyone on board 'Tango' evacuate. In this battle, Imperial Navy will inevitably suffer heavy losses. Saving one more person can be regarded as saving a little strength for Imperial Navy." Admiral Ijūin Gorō said.
At this time, the 'Shikishima' number Battleship hit the 'Moltke' number Battlecruiser. A 305mm Shell successfully hit the front main gun of the 'Moltke' Battlecruiser.
"Long live!" When the explosion sounded and a fireball rose from the deck of the 'Moltke' Battlecruiser, the Island Nation sailors cheered.
But then they were dumbfounded. Because, 'Moltke' number Battlecruiser is completely intact. The main turret that was hit was still firing as if nothing happened.
This immediately caused Island Nation Navy's Combined Fleet's morale to plummet like an avalanche. After all, the enemy's main gun can easily kill one's own warship, but one's own main gun cannot penetrate the armor of the enemy's warship. Doesn't this deserve to be ravaged by the enemy?
