Chapter 1013: Run Away 1

Chapter 1013 Escape 1

"Hold the grass! What the hell is going on?!" This time, Lieutenant General Kato Sadayoshi was really frightened. Looking at this posture, at least two battleships were aiming at him, but when he raised the telescope in his hand Sometimes, due to the obstruction of the smoke screen, the target in the distance cannot be seen at all! This made him feel very scared. After all, invisible threats are truly fatal! He doesn't even know who is attacking him now.

And when the 8-meter rangefinder on the top of the Fuso's mast turned around, the Japanese noticed that at a distance of about 15,000 meters from them, a group of battleships had sneaked up and kept pouring deadly firepower!

"Is it the Spey Fleet?!" When through the obstruction of the smoke screen, Kato Sadaikichi finally saw clearly the several battleships in the distance that were very similar in appearance to the Combined Forces-class battleships, Kato Sadaikichi's heart was definitely filled with excitement. ah! It's hard to fight a combined force by yourself. Now? Four more ships came to the opposite side. Not to mention Fuso's current state, even if it was in perfect condition, one against two would definitely be a kneeling rhythm! Even the currently strongest Bavarian-class battleship does not dare to face two Helgeland-class battleships.

Therefore, at this time, Lieutenant General Kato Sadayoshi had only one thought in his mind! Run quickly! Being able to run away is a victory! At this time, he no longer dared to hope to sink two Austro-Hungarian battleships, and he had absolutely no time to care about the beleaguered battleship Lord Nelson. Compared with his two Fuso, what did the British battleship count? Hurry up! While using radio and semaphores to notify the Hinata at the same time, a thick smoke screen erupted from the smoke canister on the Fuso's hull. With the advantage of the upwind direction, this smoke screen quickly obscured the slender hull of the Fuso battleship. Living.

The whole process of pulling up the smoke screen, turning around, and accelerating to escape can be said to be completed in one go. When retreating, we did not forget to take the remaining five Japanese destroyers with us. After all, every warship is a valuable asset of the Japanese navy. Since the situation is irreversible, Under such circumstances, when the British battleship is destined to be destroyed, it is better for everyone to run away quickly.

It must be said that the Japanese's escape was as good as their attack. However, the difference this time was that the Germans seemed to be able to see the situation on the sea through the smoke screen. Although the smoke screen had been drawn out, the German shells still chased after them step by step as if they had eyes!

Although the current state of the Spey fleet cannot be said to be full of blood and blue, the firepower of two battleships is definitely much stronger than that of one battleship! Even if the Japanese hid quickly enough, they were still hit by the falling shells!

The huge hull of the battleship Fuso had just completed its turn, because the energy consumed by the turn caused the battleship's speed to further drop, from 17 knots during the previous battle to about 15 knots. Naturally, it is impossible for a battleship to operate like a car, just step on the accelerator and go away. When the steam pipeline is damaged, the steam pressure will accumulate for a longer time. In this case, when the speed is not increased, naturally Very passive. At this time, the Spey fleet will naturally not give up.

He caught up directly, and the distance between the two sides began to close quickly!

Under the corrective fire from the seaplane, the battleship Sultan Osman I hit the Spey fleet's first hit in this naval battle at a distance of 13,000 meters! Two 635KG armor-piercing rounds roared through the air and successfully penetrated the smoke screen. It landed directly in the middle of the hull, and it must be said that the two shells that hit this wave were placed very well!

The first shell was fired from the chimney of the Fuso. Although the Fuso was equipped with flue armor, it was impossible to have enough armor to seal the smoke outlet, otherwise how would the smoke get out! And this shell hit exactly this position! After the violent explosion, a fire dragon carried a large amount of debris and dust and ran rampant in the flue and the boiler room below. Countless pipes and cabins turned into a sea of ​​​​fire in a series of explosions. This time, it was no longer part of the boiler. The problem of flameout caused by exhaust gas is not the problem of direct fire in the boiler compartment! Although not many boilers were destroyed when hit, after the battle, almost all the boilers of the Fuso were replaced...

The other cannonball was also in a very good position. This cannonball hit directly at the root of the front triangular mast. No matter how strong the so-called mast is, it will definitely not be able to stop the large-caliber cannonball! The mast more than 20 meters above the sea fell almost as if it had been decapitated. First, the support column that was directly hit was blown into two pieces, and then the shell damaged the nearby support when it exploded. After a series of fractures, , with the 8-meter rangefinder on the top, a mast with a height of more than ten meters finally fell down. Fortunately, it did not hit the ship, but in this way, the battleship's sighting was completely finished...

There is a rangefinder on the main turret, but in the previous battle, although the turret armor could block the shells, there was nothing that could be done about this kind of equipment that was partially leaked to the outside. Currently, only the No. 1 turret can be used by the Fuso. A rangefinder on the camera, and because the location was too low, the observation conditions were somewhat poor.

The Resaldier behind it also scored a hit. A shell hit the armored belt on the other side of the Fuso. Due to the angle, it was bounced away, leaving a 4-inch deep and long There was no other damage except the scratches of more than 2 meters.

As for the Tegelhof and Prinz Eugen, there was some trouble when dealing with the Hyuga. The Hyuga's six artillery pieces actually hit the Prinz Eugen at a distance of 12,500 meters. This shot The shell hit the bow of the latter's ship, and as luck would have it, it hit near the original breach. After all, it was only temporarily blocked and then repaired, and this shot made Ou The work that the crew of the Prinz Eugen had been busy with for most of the day came to nothing. The violent explosion not only tore a hole of several square meters, but also caused the Prinz Eugen's old illness to relapse, and more than 600 tons of water entered the Prinz Eugen in a few minutes. Ton.......

But after all, it is difficult for two fists to defeat four hands, and a hero cannot stand up against more wolves. Under the continuous roar of the 12 main guns of the two United Forces-class battleships, the situation of the Hyuga is only slightly better than that of the Fuso. When two 635KG armor-piercing shells hit the No. 5 turret of the Hyuga almost simultaneously, directly blowing the two 15-inch L42 main guns into pieces, the Hyuga gave in decisively...
