"Our current overall speed is shifting northwest. If the Japanese speed remains unchanged, then fire exchange may occur in up to 2 hours. (about 20 kilometers)" After roughly drawing analysis, Redell said nervously.

"You mean, our position is exposed? Didn't we turn on electronic interference?" Su Xiong frowned slightly, but he didn't clench and loosen his fists still exposed his mood at this time - very nervous! The situation he was most worried about had already occurred. The two Japanese fleets had begun to converge. When the two King Kong-class battlecruisers arrived, it was the day when Su Xiong's fleet was finished! There was no way, the two King Kong-class battlecruisers and a Fusang-class have advantages in speed and firepower. Although there was a situation of killing King Kong in one blow, no one dared to bet that his shell could accidentally land on the other party's ammunition depot or other deadly places!

"From the current situation, the new Japanese fleet should have not received the telegram yet. The other party's flagship telegram system has been destroyed. The Sagima behind it tried to send a newsletter, but its working frequency is completely within the coverage of our electronic interference."

"Looking at this place again, their routes actually have a considerable deviation. The Japanese fleet should have presumed navigation based on the previous routes. The speed is not high, only about 23 knots. Obviously they don't know the situation here." Raidel expressed his guess.

"But they can release the seaplane for reconnaissance." Su Xiong said.

"If that's the case, we'll have to leave!" Redel said with a wry smile.

"If we can leave," Su Xiong said with a wry smile.

However, at this moment, when Su Xiong was hesitating about continuing to fight or evacuate, the Gneisenau behind him once again scored a hit! And this hit will change the entire battle situation to some extent!

A 350MM shell was poured into water about 45 meters away from the Saint Horse. This shell, after specialized in-water ballistic optimization, finally played its advantage in design. The slender hood was peeled off by sea water, and the bullet body was then straightened. The round and blunt bullet body continued to sail forward smoothly in the water. With the action of gravity, the shell drew an elegant parabola in the sea water. Finally, it had an intimate contact with the Saint Horse's underwater defense system 7 meters below the water!

The huge shell easily crushed the defense system under the hull's waterline. Then, hundreds of tons of sea water poured in from the cracks, and the flying debris and solid bullet bodies went forward, piercing through the two layers of bulkheads and then exploded on the last layer of lightning-proof armor! How can only 40MM lightning-proof armor withstand the impact force and explosion energy of more than 600 kilograms of shells? The entire lightning-proof wall, which is more than ten square meters, was shattered by this gun. The defense outside the cabin of the No. 2 turbine collapsed in an instant! The high-speed rotating turbine was exposed to tons of debris and hundreds of tons of seawater, so the outcome of this cabin was determined!

"At this moment, we even suspected that we hit a torpedo! Looking from the rangefinder, a column of water suddenly rose from the middle of the hull of the Saddle Horse. Then, the warship seemed to shake for a while. In the following minutes, the Saddle Horse tilted rapidly, and a large amount of steam spread out from the middle and rear of the hull, and even the two shells at the back of the hull were covered. This was obviously a situation where a large amount of steam pipes broke. The Saddle Horse's continued descent speed told us that this guy's power system should have been severely damaged!" After the war, an officer on the Gneesenau recorded the scene in this way.

The damage to the Unmaster was indeed terrifying. The two roaring Parsons steam turbines were directly blown into pieces, and the power of the warship was inevitably reduced by more than half! Although there was a layer of armored wall between the two engine rooms, barely blocking most of the shrapnel and water inlet, at the same time, the shrapnel diffused around still cut off several important steam pipes in the other steam engine room. The high-temperature and high-pressure steam up to Baidu made repairs impossible. The constant vibration also caused some problems in the operation of the other two steam turbines. Various tooth-sourcing friction and collision sounds made the Japanese frightened! In the next 3 minutes, the Unmaster's speed quickly dropped to only about 11 knots, and it was a distance from the Fusang in front!

However, the surprise was not over. Half a minute later, another shell successfully opened a hole in the forehead of the No. 3 turret No. 3! The shell exploded between the two cannons, and the flying debris directly killed most of the gun crews of more than 80 people inside the turret in an instant, and the remaining personnel also died in pain in the scorching flames and the suffocating poison gas. Then, almost without anyone to rescue, the flames spread between the cannons and the servo equipment, turning the entire turret into a burning hell. However, because there were no shells inside the turret at this time, and the fire door in the lower dressing room was also closed, so it was not exploded for the time being!

Two rounds of artillery shells directly change the result of the battle. With a full plan, the Saddle Horse only has 4 main guns to shoot, which is close to the minimum limit of long-range shooting. Although theoretically, more than 3 single rounds of artillery can be shot, there is a problem with the continuity because the artillery shooting interval is a bit long. In other words, theoretically, the Saddle Horse, which has half the firepower, may not even have a quarter of the output!

"We seem to have won." Looking at the Suxima, which was already wrapped in steam, smoke and flames, Su Xiong breathed a sigh of relief. Now there is only one battleship left by Yama Castle. So before the Japanese battlecruiser fleet arrives, Yama Castle will probably be destroyed, right?

"Commander, the Saddle Horse seems to be ineffective." A Japanese officer pointed at the Saddle Horse, which had been severely damaged in the distance.

"Did you lose? The Germans are indeed stronger than the Austrians." Kato Hiroji sat on the chair and murmured to himself. Now, he really felt the feeling of despair. This was a feeling when facing an invincible enemy. On the surface, the Japanese fleet lost to several shells with good hit positions this time, but Kato Hiroji knew that the gap between the Japanese fleet and the German fleet was too big!
