Unfortunately, after the second shell hit the generator, the power supply in the second half of the warship was cut off, which undoubtedly made the fire in the rear of the poor warship no longer controls, and what made the King Kong worse was the third shell. This shell seriously damaged the King Kong's servo cabin and put the warship in a semi-uncontrollable state!

Although, because of the instant injecting water, the King Kong still floats on the sea, everyone knows that the best result of this warship is to withdraw from the battle, and the worst result is to slowly be submerged in the sea water! Redel did live up to expectations and was the first to remove the opponent from the battle sequence in today's battle!

"Hiss, it's so bad! The British warships are just unreliable!" Looking at the Battlecruiser of the King Kong that was already trapped in a sea of ​​fire in the distance and was staggering from the battlefield, Shigetaro Yoshimatsu was so painful. He even said these words regardless of the British generals such as Betty and Stedi. However, Betty and others also had a deep impression of these words, so it was really hard to justify them...

With the change of the command flag, the Japanese warships readjusted the order of grasping in a short time. Starting from the Tosa, the order of battle between each warship was incorrect. So, the Tosa began to concentrate firepower against Nagamon, Nagamon dealt with Maryland, and backwards in turn, while Redell faced the Ibuki, the flagship of the Japanese Third Battleship Detachment.

"This won't work. If the Ibuki horn can no longer bear it, then we will not be able to make up for the absence of the battle line." Shimamura Soo said anxiously.

"The situation is far from that bad. Haven't you noticed that the German battleship's gun fire rate has slowed down?" Betty said with a smile after putting down the telescope in his hand.

"You mean, Mecklenburg's ammunition is not enough?" Shimamura Soo said with some surprise.

"Everything has to be paid. Since last night, Redel's series of operations were perfect, but this perfection undoubtedly overdrawns Mecklenburg's combat effectiveness. Last night, Mecklenburg killed one of our light cruisers and several destroyers. Today, we killed several of our destroyers and severely damaged the King Kong. That's fine. Even though Mecklenburg's ammunition depot was full before the attack, each cannon was equipped with 120 shells, and 70% of them were armor-piercing shells, then until now, I guess Mecklenburg could not even have half of the armor-piercing shells left?" Betty said with a smile.

Although Betty could not really count how many shells Mecklenburg fired, judging from the situation of King Kong-class shooting, this poor battlecruiser was hit at least 10 rounds. Then, based on the hit rate of 3% to 5% of the main artillery shell, it is easy to estimate the ammunition situation in Mecklenburg. Moreover, in the battle of the main ship, Mecklenburg should not use semi-armor-piercing bombs, right?

"Wait slowly. In terms of main ships, we have an advantage. The US fleet now has only one scoring point, but we have many scoring points. We only need to continue slowly. As long as the land-based bomber arrives, we can lock in the victory." Betty was not worried about the battle situation.

However, this is indeed the case. At least in the middle of the entire battle line, Japanese battleships began to gradually gain the advantage. In the battle just now, the Colorado suffered heavy casualties under the volley of the two battleships. Even if only one battleship, Tosa, now, was only one battleship, seemed at ease to deal with the Colorado.

After losing a cannon, Nagamon was equally matched when facing the Maryland. The Muao behind him was fighting against Mississippi! Fuso and Ise also had the advantage when facing the right American battleships. The USS standard battleships are still a little worse than the Japanese Fuso class.

Soon, the development of the battlefield situation confirmed Betty's guess. Seven minutes after Mecklenburg knocked King Kong out of the battle line, the Luo finally left a deep scar on the Mississippi hull! It fully verified that the caliber is justice, and power is truth!

Just like Redell's Mecklenburg battleship broke through the cannon mount of King Kong, the Japanese finally waited for their fatal blow. The Americans' iron turtle armor protection was indeed very good. The previous attacks were bounced away by their heavy armor, but this time, this 1,080 kilogram armor-piercing projectile weighing 17 kilometers away, tearing the Mississippi's side-string main armor belt!

This attack was very fierce and a bit forced. At such a long distance, it was very difficult for even the most powerful naval gun on this planet to tear open the 13.5-inch armor. Excellent performance and a little luck made this attack. First, the hardened layer with a thickness of 35% of the entire armor thickness was shattered, and then the round and blunt warhead began to cut the armor behind. The bullet body and armor gradually collapsed in repeated vibrations and collisions. Finally, the violent vibration stimulated the fuse of the shell. At the last moment, the bullet body penetrated into the interior of Mississippi and exploded at the secondary artillery ammunition delivery channel!

A large amount of ammunition was detonated in a narrow space. Even if it was more than ten kilometers away, the rangefinder on the Japanese warship could still clearly capture the flash of the explosion inside Mississippi. It was a series of explosions, followed by thick smoke and fire. The fire quickly spread along the artillery corridor. A large amount of gunpowder even entered the vents of the combat ship's engine room. The backflow of exhaust gas caused some boilers to malfunction. The thick smoke obscured all views. The US military damage management team members who tried to save the warship were groping in the dark space filled with toxic gas. The collapsed next door and the cracks on the ground were like demons' tentacles that made people devour people's lives.

Mississippi is much stronger than King Kong. Although this strike is very heavy, it is not fatal. But this is just the beginning. When thick smoke began to cover the rangefinder at the top of the mast, Mississippi suffered a heavy blow again. A 16-inch shell hit the No. 3 turret mount on the battleship. The 16-inch gun armor successfully blocked the attack, but the violent impact caused the twist of the armor plate to completely block the turret. If one cannon that was lost due to servo damage during the previous battle, the battleship had completely lost 4 cannons. Due to the observation and aiming problem, the firepower of this battleship was far from reaching the data on paper!

"The situation is getting better. Maybe our previous thoughts are a bit misguided. For the advantageous side, fighting with integrity is the best choice." Betty said happily.
