While Bismarck's firepower was concentrated on attacking Ryanleid, the battleship Charlemagne's battleship and the Cartesian cruiser were also trying their best to attack the German ships. Unfortunately, the 12-inch guns on Charlemagne's Great performed poorly. On the one hand, it was because of the small number of artillery and the fire control was a bit behind. On the other hand, the combat distance between the two sides was a bit far for the French......

You should know that in history, Dewey was even close to 1,500 meters when he beat the Spanish fleet! When the Russo-Japanese War broke out in 1904, the distance between the two sides began to exchange fire was only about 7,000 meters. Note that this is the distance between the beginning of the fire, not the distance that can effectively hit the opponent!

It is a miracle that the Bismarck Martyr hits the opponent at an average speed of one shot per minute at a distance of 6,000 meters! Even when Prince Ruprecht received the battle report sent by Hippel, he doubted whether the battle report was adulterated... This record has not even been played in the exercise! In the end, it can only be said that God blesses Germany will! This shows that the luck is a bit too big!

The warship in the middle was beaten to nothing, and except for Charlemagne's 12-inch gun room that could make Hippel feel a little threat, the other cruiser, the Cadir, had no sense of existence at all! A slag cruiser with the main firepower output is 100mm gun. What effect can it have when facing the Marquis in the armor on the front? Moreover, the distance of about 6,000 meters has exceeded the level of the French's normal training. It is appropriate to not hit, but it is abnormal if it hits!

"The French navy is not very good, it is not as difficult as the Japanese. When he followed his prince (Siper was a Bavarian) to beat the Japanese, the other party jumped a few times. Now it seems that there is no pressure to beat France!" Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Damn!" Just as Hippel was a little light, the turret on the bow of the Bismarck Marquis suddenly burst out, and a huge fireball rose into the air. With a loud bang, Hippel even saw a cannon barrel blown off and then fell into the sea water dozens of meters away.

After only half a minute, another fireball burst out from the side string of the battleship, and an armor plate at the waterline of the battleship was retreated straight for about 1 foot! Although it failed to penetrate, relying on the huge kinetic energy, the 12-inch shell still shattered the back plate behind the armor, and tore a small hole in the hull, flooding several cabins of the battleship, one of which was also contaminated.

The French were also very lucky. According to the law of conservation of Rp, when the Marquis of Bismarck beat Ryan Ryder, Charlemagne's 12-inch cannon also hit the opponent twice in one minute! 5,500 meters away! This record is considered a Chinese in the eyes of the French!

"Concentrate firepower to attack Charlemagne! Kill him!" The Ryan Ryder has been severely damaged and has almost lost its motivation. Even if it is thrown there, it is okay. If Charlemagne can be left behind, then unless the French are willing to draw warships from their originally not very wealthy fleet, the maritime situation in Africa is determined.

And it was sinking a battleship! What a great honor! The first officer in the German Navy to sink a battleship was too shameful to say it! But soon, after both sides pkled it, the Germans found that the battleship was a battleship, which was very hard!

The sharp artillery fire of the Bismarck Marquis, who turned the guns, quickly made Charlemagne feel tremendous pressure. The 5.5-inch cannon on the French battleship had no idea of ​​facing the Marquis' heavy armor at a long distance. He could only rely on four 12-inch cannons to counterattack, and the French could not always gain the favor of God. Apart from a few amazing hits, the rest of the performance can only be described as mediocrity.

However, Hippel is not easy. The remaining 6 254mm heavy artillery continues to hit the opponent, and huge fireballs are set off on the French battleship from time to time. However, relying on thick armor, the core area of ​​the Charlemagne is still relatively complete. In addition to leaving a fire on the warship with a small scale, the effect of the 245kg high-explosion bomb is actually very limited.

According to Hippel's experience, if you want to completely destroy this warship, you can only have the idea of ​​attacking the upper part of the fragile armor belt and the head and tail armor belt. Even so, if you want to completely destroy this warship, it requires a very high firepower projection. Therefore, if you cannot penetrate the opponent's armor, washing the deck is the best choice!

So the two giants, like boxers, punched each other, and no one could do anything to each other in a short period of time. The French's heavy artillery theoretically could not penetrate the armor of Marquis Bismarck, and the firing rate was slow. Facing the French cavalry full of heavy armor, the Marquis had no temper. However, relying on their high hit rate and huge projection, the battle situation was slightly tilted towards the direction that favored the German ship.

"God of General, another German warship has returned. They are attacking the Descartes!" An officer said in horror at the warship that was baptized by artillery fire in the distance.

In the distance, Major Schell, who had missed the first time of the battle, finally came back with the Hamburger. When the second French transport ship exploded due to a mine attack, Schell realized that things were likely to be out of control. He really dared not go deep into the minefield to rescue the French officers and soldiers who fell into the water. When the rumbling sound of cannons came from the distance, a sense of excitement surged into his mind, and he ran to the main battlefield immediately without doing anything.

When Schell felt the battlefield, he was also shocked by the situation in front of him. The Marquis Bismarck, who had originally thought he would fall into a passive position, had already landed on a French warship. How long has it been? Schell felt that the battle was only half an hour long! At this time, Marquis Bismarck was fighting with the Charlemagne, and Schell decisively found an opponent, hid behind the battleship and attacked the Marquis French second-class protective cruiser in vain with a 100mm cannon...

"This is simply the weakest opponent I have ever seen. They are not even as good as the Yoshino we met five years ago." An officer who had served on the previous Mainz commented on the French second-class protective cruiser! Faced with the attack of the Hamburger, Descartes was suppressed at the first time!

After the Battle of the Philippines, the German Navy believed that the lethality of the 6-inch gun in the naval battle was very limited, but who would you tell me about this limited? For example, now, the high-explosive bomb like raindrops is a nightmare for the Cartes!

The shells easily tore open the armor of the artillery less than 2 inches, and the violent shock wave swept the deck of the warship over and over again with shrapnel and flames. The broken cabins and twisted metal brackets, as well as the blood donation and wailing wounded people all over the ground, made the entire warship a hell on earth.
