Chapter 869 Double kill!

The Bavarian battleship successfully hit two shells with one and a half-volley. One of the shells bounced up again after breaking a barrel, leaving a few meters of bullet mark on the top of the turret. It seemed as if it was severely grabbed by the giant claws of a prehistoric beast.&1t;/p>

Another shell easily tore open the armor belt on the front of Queen Mary 2 turret. From outside, a light spot flashed across the turret and then expanded rapidly. In less than 1 second, the shell instantly killed more than 50 British naval officers and soldiers in the turret. The scorching flame instantly filled the entire turret, and then detonated the shells and injection medicine in the turret!&1t;/p>

Boom! The huge shock wave vented the turret's trough and cracks, and the whole piece of armor fell off, thick smoke rose one after another, while a large amount of flames went down the open ammunition delivery channel. Along the way, shells and spray bags were constantly detonated. It was not until the British released water and flooded the ammunition depot that the warship temporarily escaped.&1t;/p>

After pouring thousands of tons of sea water, Queen Mary was about 10 degrees. Even though the voyage was not high, the sea wolf that surged while the warship sailed still rushed to the deck from time to time and even rushed to the muzzle......&1t;/p>

"Actually, Queen Mary played very accurately." Looking at the target constantly covered by water columns and flames in the distance, Schell said this for some reason.&1t;/p>

"Well, it's useless." The prince looked at the bullet mark on the top of the Bavarian turret 1 from the observation window of the command tower and said indifferently. The shell hit the armor on the top of the turret in Bavaria. Although it destroyed the turret rangefinder, it was not harmful. If the prince's perception was correct, this British war patrol should have hit him three times, except for one of the turrets, another hit the tail. A small fire was lit, and then another hit the side armor belt. It was useless except to smash the thin steel plates on the outside.&1t;/p>

In fact, in the history of the Jutland avant-garde, Queen Mary performed the best, and soon after the war started, a turret in Sederitz was destroyed. However, after this time it was replaced with Bavaria with thick skin, Queen Mary's shelling was not threatening.&1t;/p>

Queen Mary, who had been hit continuously, was also a little panicked. He was about to fine-tune his course to avoid the opponent's strike, but the Bavarian bombardment was 24 seconds long, and the next round of volleys, Queen Mary was hit again! The half-pull top armor plate of the No. 4 turret was blown away in a huge explosion, and then it hit the deck heavily. A large amount of air poured into the turret, greatly igniting the fire inside the turret. As many as 70 officers and soldiers in the turret were killed in less than a minute, and the entire turret was reminded of continuous explosions.&1t;/p>

What made Queen Mary even worse was that the next hit directly penetrated the dressing room located at the bottom of the No. 4 turret! There was only one fire door for the British turret, and there was no fire door in the ammunition room... The damage to Queen Mary even exceeded the sum of the former! In an instant, more than 2o shells and more than 4o spray packs were detonated, and more than ten tons of ammunition suddenly exploded their light and heat! In an instant, a pillar of fire that was more than 4o meters long rose into the sky, and the violent explosion started to cut the entire warship from the position of the No. 4 turret!&1t;/p>

A wide crack stretched down from the upper part of the deck. The continuous explosion was like a huge chainsaw, constantly tearing the crumbling hull. The flames generated by the explosion poured into the ammunition compartment at a very high level. This time, the British were not so lucky. The officers and soldiers in the ammunition depot didn't even have the chance to inject water and were directly swallowed by the flames.&1t;/p>

Most of the shells that hit Queen Mary were concentrated in the back of the hull. The second half of the regular hull was almost shrouded by flames and thick smoke. When the last explosion from the ammunition depot sounded, the thick black smoke and the flash generated by the explosion engulfed the entire battleship, and various parts and debris were blown into the sky, including a traffic boat that was more than ten meters long! The battleship continued to advance under huge inertia, and then the tail of the hull fell off. Under the pull of huge force, Queen Mary suddenly tilted to the left, the angle instantly exceeded 35 degrees, and finally plunged into the seawater!&1t;/p>

The tall bridge and the hull of more than 200 meters were flat on the water surface. The huge impact caused the tall three-legged mast of the warship to instantly break into several sections. The warship sank quickly and sank into the sea in just a few minutes. At this time, the shining fragments continued to fall and could not be scattered within a radius of several kilometers. Most of them fell into the sea, and a few hit the British destroyer next to it.&1t;/p>

"The Queen Mary is over." Looking at the flash that suddenly appeared in the distance, a deafening cheer sounded from the command tower on the Bavaria!&1t;/p>

"Long live the Imperial Navy!" "The Kingdom of Bavaria will last forever!" cheers came from the various cabins of the warship. As a battleship designed by Bavaria and named it the Bavaria, it is normal to recruit a large number of Bavarians. One of the important reasons why the prince chose this warship is that they are all "people". They are more easily recognized.&1t;/p>

"Okay, our mission today is not just this ship." The prince stood up with a smile and made a gesture to calm everyone's excitement.&1t;/p>

With a bang, a column of water rose against the hull of the Bavaria, and the entire warship shook slightly, "We seem to be in the thunder?!" After standing firm, the prince had a terrible thought in his heart. What did you say? No matter how high the kung fu is, he is afraid of torpedoes! Something should have exploded at the bottom of the hull of Bavaria!&1t;/p>

"What's the situation? Check it out immediately!" Soon, the command tower in a sea of ​​joy just now resumed its busyness during the battle. Judging from the instrument, the attack of Bavaria did not seem to be serious, and it only caused a slight tilt of the country's 2 degrees. At this angle, even the water balance was saved.&1t;/p>

Soon the result came out. There were no submarines on the sea surface. Even if there were submarines, it would be difficult to catch up with a fleet of at least 20 kilometers. At the same time, there was even less possibility of mines. Who would have no choice but to lay mines on the wide sea surface? Looking at the shadow of the ships appearing in the northeast, the Warrior, New Zealand and Australia, the prince knew that the British reinforcements were coming. The attack just now was a certain warship hit by a bomb in the water.&1t;/p>
