Chapter 1484 Don't Stop the Homecoming Fleet 2

When a British destroyer was shuttled between light and shadow, he did not realize that he had landed in the hunter's hunting rifle! When the last smoke disappeared from his eyes, the British destroyer was surprised to find that he was facing the side string of a German destroyer! Then, at a distance of less than 500 meters, the Germans shot two torpedoes in a row! So, this is the scene that Major General Nickel saw just now! A British destroyer was blown into a ball of fire, and countless pieces fell from the air. People realized the cruelty of this battle!

If you shuttle through the smoke screen with unclear light for a long time, don’t think about maintaining a mysterious formation. The British don’t know what to face when they rush out, while Germany said they don’t know what will appear in the smoke screen in front of them. Eight German destroyers and torpedo boats are in front, then three front dreadnought warships and four super fearless ones. The latter, like sharp teeth, is aligned with side stringed sub-cannons, aimed at the smoke-filled sea. The main gun of the front dreadnought is filled with armor-piercing bombs, while the four super fearless ones use semi-piercing bombs. The limited number of armor-piercing bombs is to be used on British and French battleships. How could it be wasted on cruisers?!

As more and more British destroyers rushed out of the smoke, the war between the two sides finally began. However, this time, in the war environment deliberately created by the Germans, the first batch of destroyers that the British rushed out became completely cannon fodder!

"We rushed out of the smoke, and didn't know the surrounding situation, and even did not see the location of the opponent's warship clearly. Tons of shells fell from the sky. At this moment, we all felt that the situation was not good, but we couldn't go back because more warships were rushing outwards. If we went back, we might bump into friendly forces, so I could only rush up to the scalp." A British naval destroyer captain recalled the scene at that time.

As soon as the British destroyer Claus was rushed out, he was stared at by two German destroyers and a torpedo boat. Eight 105MM and 88MM artillery fired frantically at the target. An oval barrage enveloped the poor warship, and balls of flames gushed out from the slender hull. Finally, a perfect shell landed on the triple torpedo launch tube in the middle of the Claus hull. With a giant sound, the destroyer turned into fragments in the sky.

More and more British destroyers rushed out of the smoke screen, and German destroyers could not stop them all at the first time, but this did not mean that they were safe. The three front fearless warships behind revealed their hideous fangs, especially the Red Beard, the 8 10-inch guns on the side string and the numerous 150MM and 88MM guns, which easily knocked the British destroyers that escaped the net to pieces!

The 10-inch cannon spewed out long flame tongues. In the flattened state, the shock wave generated when the cannon flew out formed huge ripples on the sea surface. These shells roared towards the target 5,000 meters away - a British destroyer of more than 1,000 tons. This warship had just used torpedo to blow a German torpedo boat into pieces, and at the same time, it used four 102MM cannons to drive away another German destroyer. Just as he was killing all over the world, the shadow of death secretly enveloped it!

The water column falling from the 10-inch shell quickly enveloped the poor warship. A close-range bomb was only 3 meters away from the destroyer. Although it was an armor-piercing bomb and the amount of medicine was relatively small, the distance was too close! And it was facing a destroyer with only a hull plate as a defense! With the explosion, the middle of the hull of the destroyer suddenly sank into the interior, forming a large pit of more than ten square meters! However, this was not over. The energy generated by the explosion pushed large pieces of debris to easily penetrate the fragile hull plate. The huge pressure and impact made the side ribs of the entire warship whine! A big hole was quickly smashed into the lower part of the entire hull!

Tons of sea water poured into the boiler warehouse. They extinguished the boiler, destroyed the pipes, and smashed the compartments one by one. The warship whined before its death, but its pain did not last long. Another 10-inch shell hit directly penetrated the bottom of the ship from the deck. More sea water dragged the poor warship into the sea like a big hand.

However, such a massacre did not last too long. With the addition of three British armored cruisers, some minor changes occurred on the battlefield. The Cresey armored cruiser was the first to rush out of the smoke screen. The dense 6-inch gun and 12-pound gun with dense side strings made a dense barrage. A German destroyer that could not dodge was quickly to pieces. Behind him, the Hogg also rushed out, but they found the Red Beard armored cruiser that was shooting not far away!

"Damn!" Both sides were startled, and then they pointed their artillery at each other!

After all, it was an old-fashioned armored cruiser, which was two years earlier than Red Beard and had at least 10 years worse in design concept. The 6-inch shell, like raindrops, landed on the heavy impact belt of the Red Beard's side string. Although the latter's armor may not be enough to face the dreadnought, the huge defense area is simply a nemesis for the old-fashioned cruiser, which mainly suffocates its opponents with high-explosive bombs. Balls of flames exploded on the armored belt, leaving only traces of shallow pits and burning flames.

"Go to death! Trash!" The huge double-equipped 10-inch turret slowly rotated. Through the rangefinder provided on the turret, the gunman conveniently aimed at the Cresey, which was 5,500 meters away, and was loaded with two armor-piercing bullets. The hunter's hunting rifle once again aimed at the prey!

Boom! Two balls of fire spewed out. A few seconds later, two balls of flame suddenly burst out from the Cresey hull, which was more than 100 meters long. At this distance, even the 10-inch armor-piercing bomb weighing only more than 200 kilograms, easily crushed the armor with a thickness of only 6 inches. The paper-like armor was torn apart, and then rushed downward to the flue above the boiler chamber. With a loud bang, the flying shrapnel blew the entire flue into a mess. A large number of flames, exhaust gas and shrapnel scattered under the action of the explosive airflow, and even directly caused the extinction of several boilers. However, this was just the beginning. Even if two to one, facing at least one generation of warships advanced than it, Cresey still had a disadvantage!

What's even more tragic is that after the USS Ferdinand battleship cleared out the approaching destroyer, it also aimed the thick and long 12-inch guns at these two miserable armored cruisers! Otherwise, it's more like an inch larger than an inch stronger... (Author: Is there any such statement?) What's more, it's 2 inches larger? If the Red Beard's armor-piercing bomb only caused a penetration injury to the other party, then the 12-inch armor-piercing bomb weighing more than 400 kilograms is like a heavy hammer. If the head of the hammer is down, it will be broken and the tendons will be broken!
