"Distance 9,000 meters! Fire!" Accompanied by bursts of thunderous roars, huge fireballs suddenly appeared in the quiet night sky. The orange flames and gas pushed the 635kg shell from the gun at a speed of more than 800 meters. Flying out of the mouth, the main gun was so bright when suddenly fired at night that some unsuspecting people were temporarily blinded. A sound like the earth falling apart resounded in the bay. The red balls of light disappeared in the black night sky, flying towards the French fleet in the distance!

Ten seconds later, water columns of more than 70 meters high rose around the parked French warships. The Germans have always had excellent gunnery skills, and the combat skills of the Graf Spee fleet cannot be underestimated! Among the water columns, a bright yellow flame suddenly exploded above the water columns. After a while, a huge mast slowly fell down amid the firelight and gunpowder smoke.

The Dandong-class battleship Condorcet of the French Third Battleship Division was hit in the first round of shelling. The front mast was like paper in front of the powerful shells. The violent explosion directly blew the mast into three pieces, almost Ten tons of steel components fell on the chimney slightly behind, breaking one of the chimneys at the root. In the violent impact of steel, countless fragments collided on the deck and surface of the ship. Turning the entire front deck into a Shura field of fire and steel!

Another section of the mast was inserted straight into the side string of the hull like a spear. Several cabins in the upper deck and a dozen French naval officers and soldiers who were dreaming were directly crushed into pulp! The biggest loss was that the collapse of the mast resulted in the complete destruction of the rangefinder above. This warship may not be able to accurately shoot at long distances!

The Sudan opened the scoring, and the battleship Reshadier behind it performed equally well. When the two sides approached 8,500 meters, the fast battleship sent 2 armor-piercing shells into the battleship Diderot. The shell directly penetrated the bow twin main gun turret of this Dandong-class battleship! The 300mm armor faced the German 350mm artillery at this distance, which was tantamount to selling out. The sharp warhead easily cut through the thick armor plate, as easily as a hot knife cutting through butter!

The shell left a huge radioactive bullet hole in the turret and then moved forward, hitting the back plate behind the turret before exploding. The violent explosion and shock wave directly destroyed two 12-inch artillery pieces weighing dozens of tons. , turning the cannon, servos, and everything else inside into piles of burning debris. Fortunately, there were no artillery shells in the French turret, and the fire door was closed, so the damage was limited to the turret.

And the other shell was also bloody! This shell hit the waterline in the middle of the hull, and even the watertight partition at the back and the 270 armor belt on the side strings could not block the armor-piercing shell. Although it was a stink bomb and did not explode, it successfully blocked it. A large piece of armor plate was torn off from the back plate, leaving a large and terrifying scar of eversion. Later, the fragments generated when the shell shattered penetrated the partition under the action of huge inertia, and the outside of the power cabin was The armor plates were also knocked into honeycombs. A large amount of seawater poured into a boiler warehouse, and the boiler that was originally on standby suddenly flamed out!

"Hold the grass! Wrong shot!" Just as the two German battleships directly under the count were hitting their opponents easily and happily, the battleship Tegelhof behind also scored a hit, but unfortunately, this shot In the past, the corresponding battleship Dandong was not hit, but the supply ship almost next to it was hit!

In fact, the Austrians did a pretty good job with this shot.

After this cannonball hit the bridge of the supply ship, the fragile hull did not detonate the cannonball. The cannonball penetrated several cabins along the way, hitting the bridge with lightning and flames and then directly obliterating it. Arriving on the deck of the Dandong, after the shells detonated in the deck armor, the violent vibrations failed to penetrate the main horizontal armor of the battleship, but caused the motor compartment below to malfunction. When a group of Frenchmen were disturbed by the explosion, After waking up, when he was busy heading to the fighting position, the lights suddenly went out. What a sour and refreshing thing!

"We were awakened by the violent shaking and the fire outside the window. There were people's dying cries and cries for help everywhere. We were suddenly attacked, but we didn't even know who our opponent was! We were surrounded by the officers' shouts. Zhong put on his clothes hastily, and then moved forward desperately in the narrow passage. At this moment, the lights suddenly went out. In the environment where he couldn't see his fingers, it suddenly became quiet, and he could only feel the sound coming from the hull from time to time. There was a slight vibration. The situation was terrible and urgent. We didn’t know what to do and could only move forward blindly touching the wall."

"At this time, the battleship suddenly experienced a violent vibration! A bright light suddenly emitted from a place dozens of meters away from us! The extremely bright white light blinded some companions instantly, and then, like a tide of flames and The shock wave swept over me, and I subconsciously clung to the ground. The comrades next to me heard continuous screams, and some fishy-smelling liquid spilled on me."

"When I opened my eyes again, our lighting problem was finally solved, because there was a big hole in the side of the hull not far away. Countless sparks were flying in the night sky. I guess I don't have to go to my fighting position. , because the first thing I have to do is put out the fire." After the war, a sailor on board Dandong recalled.

The French immediately made remedial action, and a group of people ran around the battleship like a swarm of bees that had exploded their nest. They turned on the water hose to try to extinguish the fire, entered the artillery position, turned on the servo to prepare for counterattack, and the officers arranged for self-rescue and counterattack. The soldiers hurriedly searched for the target and blindly aimed their artillery at the rising fires in the distance. Among the fires, towering figures appeared from time to time.

The French frantically aimed all the weapons they could find at their opponents. A few minutes later, a 12-inch gun of the Condorcet first sprayed out flames of revenge. A shell almost missed Dandong's bow and flew past. Then it landed at least 2 kilometers away from the German battleship.

The French tried to drive the ship out, but this effort was doomed to fail. Not to mention the time it took to launch the warship. In order to protect against mines, the anchorage was surrounded by a circle of obstacles and mine protection nets. The French did not feel safe enough at first. And additionally open the mine protection net that comes with the battleship! In this situation, if you are not prepared to use the bow of the boat to compete with the obstacles to see who is stronger, then it is better not to go out.
