The muffled hum rang again, and the turret was silent. The ammunition depot and propellant room were busy fiddling with the split-type armor-piercing ammunition. Sailor Del was busy checking the bolt and the service of the gun tube. The sailors silently started a new round of shelling preparation.
It should have been more than twenty seconds since an armor-piercing bullet was discharged? The sense of rhythm can’t be wrong, but Del still sometimes freezes the illusion. It seems that the hands have gone for centuries, but when I look up, I am surprised to find that there are still centuries ahead!
"Emperor, we played a cross-shot! At 7: 52, frederick the great shot across Ajax’s 10th main gun! An armor-piercing bullet drilled into the back of Ajax No.1 chimney and another armor-piercing bullet smashed the bow of Ajax! "
The feeling of suffocation and dullness disappeared in an instant. If the news of the lookout disappeared, it would be like the storm of the century penetrating the 35 mm thick armor of Anton turret and shocking the gunner’s eardrum. One second before, it was stumbling and preoccupied. The German navy finally recovered its youthful color.
"Guys, here’s our chance. We have to swing our arms and shoot a few rounds of rapid fire. We will definitely keep Joe Five, the Englishman!" Lieutenant boateng, the bitter gunner, finally opened his mouth and clapped his hands. His eyes were full of fiery and bloodthirsty taste.
"Although it is very hard, I like this feeling!"
The paranoia disappeared, and the discomfort with the powerful recoil of the 35 guns disappeared. This is the era of blood, and Delly clenched his fist.
At 7: 52, out of chaos, the ocean fleet finally achieved results. Before the war, it visited the Kiel military port in Germany and promised peace for generations. The battleship Joe V Ajax suffered a terrible cross-fire. Then in three minutes, a total of six 35 mm armor-piercing projectiles hit the super-feared ship Ajax. The bow water line, the horizontal armor at the stern and the armor belt at the rear were continuously pierced through the hull and a large amount of water was poured into it.
The King George V Battleship keeps the 12-inch waterline with the main armor and the 11-inch turret. Some changes have been made in the basic protection design, and the hull strength has been strengthened. The armor from the bow turret to the bow Y turret constitutes a continuous protection area.
However, Joe’s five-level or all British dreaded ships cover up the paper figures. The charm was verified in an accident in November 1914. Joe’s third brother Ajax, the battleship Bold, sank in northern Scotland just after being hit by a mine. This shows the poor explosion-proof strength and watertight design of the British battleship hull.
At 7: 56, after fermentation, an armor-piercing bullet finally sublimated and hit the main armor of the Ajax waterline.
Just as the British treated battle cruiser harshly, the "Battleship 343" was full to be one meter above the waterline, and the waterline with the main armor was one deck higher, thus reaching an "amazing" one meter.
In fact, it is not easy to find a narrow waterline with the main armor among the 12-inch armor-piercing projectile without the blessing of holy light and magic. However, the German armor-piercing projectile failed to follow the miracle and missed the 12-inch thickest part of the waterline and penetrated the 1-inch armor belt after deviating from three meters.
A big hole with a diameter of two meters was dug at the waterline of the armor-piercing projectile Ajax. At this time, the Ajax had flooded more than 2,000 tons, and the bow of the ship was heavily planted in the sea. The front deck was two meters away from the sea. It was economical to inject water and level it. After five minutes of hard support, the captain led the crew and had to abandon the ship.
At 01: 00, the destroyer Ruby fired three torpedoes at the Ajax, which violently exploded and completely destroyed this huge steel ship with a cost of 190,000 pounds equivalent to gold, so it sank and died in the Scarborough Gerakl Strait.
At 7: 56, it was not just the frederick the great that won the war. The fighting distance at the end of a distant battle line was less than 152 meters. It was used to make up and share the artillery fire. The Hanover and Silesia, the fourth detachment of the second battleship team, were beaten by the three ships of the British Fear, Bellerophon and Magnificent, which symbolized the sadness of the former fear of the ship era. The explosion after the armor on the top of the turret of the Bererophon class battleship recklessness was pierced indicates that the world’s first fear of the ship for a long time is a way to realize the compromise.

Chapter 10 It’s a pity that he doesn’t belong to Britain IV
"The first team has been re-opened by the British, but why hasn’t the second team completed the simple east-south turn?"
"At 7: 51, Hergolan hit the target ship Hercules, and the bow of Hercules ignited a fire? ! Damn it, it’s been five minutes, and I still have this vague report in my hand! Who can tell me whether the Hercules is still fighting or tottering, knowing that the fourth detachment is carrying three British capital ships! "
"Go and get Kurt Frewald for me. When on earth will he be able to repair the broken signal cable? You know, the Ostfrisland is my flagship!"
Roaring against the eardrum of the young man, Wolfgang Wei Gena, the chief staff officer of the first battleship, secretly turned his head and made a grin at the deputy commander of the fleet.
Lieutenant General Schmidt, commander, has reason to be angry, because the ocean fleet became the first army after the battle line was launched, and the fleet was a little stiff. The officers and men not only failed to show the usual hard training and matching level in previous rounds of shelling, but ignored the problems due to lack of experience.
Lieutenant General Schmidt’s mood broke out and he fell with pride. When he roared to the extreme, he almost overturned the armored lieutenant general at the top of the commander tower. It was not Schell who was brave and ruthless, but after all, the German nation’s rigidity and meticulousness had penetrated into his blood. After all, Lieutenant General devoted too much effort to this fleet.
"Although the second team can fly more than 22 knots, they still have to cover the second battleship!" The young man was silent. The deputy commander of the fleet was a nice guy, Major General. He was covered with fine sweat and twisted his teeth on his forehead. He put his hat under his armpit and cocked his head and explained the sentence timidly.
No trace of prevarication obviously can’t prevaricate anger Schmidt, but the intelligence staff broke into the command tower and saved the good guy.
"At 7: 51, the General Helgolan Hercules was shot at the bow of the target ship, and the forward speed slowed down. It is judged that the 25-inch armor and some shipbuilding steel bows were torn by armor-piercing bullets and a lot of water entered the hull!"
"The boys did a good job!" Schmidt’s face was covered with haze and disappeared instantly. He couldn’t help but praise the officers and men of the Helgolan. It seems that the commander of the Helgolan’s information lag just now was not a person.
Wolfgang Wei Gena unconsciously heaved a sigh of relief. The ocean fleet is a young navy. Although it has excellent quality and large-scale capital ships and well-trained sailors, in the final analysis, this fleet has no time to accumulate inexperienced combat cruises, which can’t replace cruel actual combat. What’s worse, the first battle of the first battleship was a prehistoric example. The North Sea Congress was fought by opponents who still raped the essence of the ocean. The Royal Navy.
Well, these do not prevent professional soldiers from getting back to the rhythm of war. Although the German navy is young, it is not a ravaged fish!
"Commander, I’ll urge Major Kurt Frewald to repair the signal cable as soon as possible …"
Imperial Navy Strategy Shuang Jie-Wei Gena took out two white gloves from his pocket and went out with a smile. He temporarily took over from the General Staff Officer and Deputy General Staff Officer Major freese Soker. Even after the war ten years later, he still clearly remembered the charismatic Wei Gena School’s habit of holding his right hand low to support the brim before going out. Elegant and gentleman.
Wei Gena, grab that icy gangway, rushed across the bridge at the rear end of the command tower and came to the fly bridge connecting the No.1 chimney in relatively Angou. At this time, the school was surprised to find that the main mast was cut off by a 12-inch bullet from Britain, and the main mast was like a runaway horse juggling, and the pipe was damaged. Major Kurt Frewald, the captain of the team, led a group of players to ride the rickety support of the main mast and tried to fix and disassemble it, which made the signal cable hoist another group of signal cable pulleys at the top of the tower.
"Major, how long will it take? We need another tactical maneuver to let the British taste our powerful signal flag, which is very important to us! " Shelling lung propellant smoke makes Wei Gena almost hard to open his eyes. Holding the handrail of the flying bridge, he looked up and shouted desperately.
"Staff officer give me again …"
Kurt Frewald rode the main mast naturally, but his eyes drooped, but he inadvertently passed a fast-moving fire. Frewald’s blue pupils swelled sharply, and his body suddenly balanced. The main mast was anxious and gesticulating something.
The roar is getting closer and closer. When Wei Gena doesn’t bend over, it will be deafening to explode. A powerful impact is wrapped around the white waterline. Wolfgang Wei Gena feels that he is flying. Suddenly, Wei Gena thinks of the awkward sentence "Walking on clouds" with unique oriental meaning in that guy Heidi Selim’s letter.
"Am I going to die?" Wei Gena fell heavily on the deck, and a warm current was lost from his right arm. Sleepiness felt like a blast. Wei Gena desperately moved his left hand to his chest and covered his pocket with a bright smiling face.
"Cough … at 7: 56, the Reckless hit the port side of the westfalen … Cough … it landed in the target ship’s No.1 chimney and No.2 chimney!"
Everyone knows that the Germans improved the turret shooting boundary and arranged Bruno turret. The Nassau-class No.1 chimney No.2 chimney recklessness was located at the front end of No.2 chimney. The watchtower man with stubble was in his middle age. Rodman grabbed the microphone and belonged to the British empire. Londoners were graceful and the British island used to report the situation to the commander tower with cold humor.
"Watchtower No.2, please confirm the results!" The gunner hissed in the microphone. Although he had been disappointed twice, the gunner did not change his mind and yearned for glory and victory.
In order to improve the visibility, the British navy designer added a three-legged main mast to the front of the No.1 chimney from the front of the main mast of the Bellerophon-class battleship-in view of the influence of the smoke from the No.1 chimney, this improvement in vision is considerable, if any.
In the telescope, the Nassau-class battleship Westphalon still maintained a speed of about 16 knots, and a not-so-dense smoke column appeared at the bullet point, followed by two orange flames in the sparse smoke.
Smoke from chimney No.1 floated up in the wind, holding a telescope. Rodman coughed a few times and put his words close to his mouth in regret.
"The westfalen seems to have ignited a fire, but the 12-inch bomb failed to stop the German turret 2 from firing!"
This is the third time that the Reckless has hit the westfalen. The first two armor-piercing projectiles Rodman can still make a bad landing, but he can copy the facts again and again, making Rodman realize that either the German defense armor is too strong or the Royal Navy is equipped with 12-inch armor-piercing projectiles!
"It can’t be the Royal Navy! The Bellerophon class battleship is the dread production ship, but it is the world’s first dread ship! "
Rodman was tempered by the wind and rain in the North Sea, and his fear of the number had a special meaning. It was the world’s first new battleship, which made all the battleships that had been built and outfitted in the world at that time worse than those that had just laid out the design drawings.
At that time, the Americans were also interested in building a white color with all warships painted gorgeous and festive, and they were named the Great White Fleet, fearing the fleet before and taking it to scare the younger brother of the British Empire-Far East Day; Confused by the concept of green water navy, the French finally came back to their senses, but at this time, the French were not prepared enough for technology or funds. Until 199, they were still in no hurry to build Dandong-class quasi-feared ships with inconsistent performance and tonnage. After the naval battle against Malaysia, the Russian artificial ships were "no navy" and the highest technology was backward. They were afraid to help; The Italians came up with the concept of "heavy artillery" no later than the alternate second lieutenant Heidi Selim of Germany and the respected Sir Schell of the British Empire. However, these descendants of Rome have already lost all the Millennium glory of the Roman Empire and infiltrated into their bones. They are lazy. In addition to the loud slogan "Thousands of years will unify the Mediterranean", the fancy taste is endless, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire is even more unbearable. Habsburg is guarding the ancestors to accumulate gold and silver, but it is getting weaker. From the joint strength level, the start date is earlier than the Italian Dante level, but the completion date is later than the Italian.
"Except for the German Nassau class!"
The thought of four Nassau-class battleships in the Royal Navy’s 12-inch bullet rain 15 meters away added a few minutes to Rodman’s annoyance.
Like an elaborate scam, when the dread started construction, the Germans quickly took out a tit-for-tat Nassau-class heavy artillery to control the large steam engine and have stronger protective armor. It seems that the Germans have already prepared their technology for the new battle horn.
The appearance of Nassau class stole the limelight of Britain’s first dreaded ship. Many naval experts distorted the facts and thought that Nassau class was the real dreaded ship, because the layout of the center line of the main gunboat body was more in line with the definition of dreaded ship. Are there any worse and more disgusting fabricators than them in this world? Berlin’s "Naval Yearbook" defines the sinking of the blucher in the naval battle in Shazhou, Dogel as the prototype of the dreaded ship!
Emperor’s blucher is an armored cruiser with a speed barely exceeding that of the battleship. It is only for naval experts to praise the layout of the longitudinal center line of the main gun. Nassau-class Maria has four 11-inch guns in its 16-meter hull!
