"Bastard! Report the loss!" Lieutenant General Otto Schneewendt almost jumped up.
"General, the side was hit, a secondary gun was blown off, and the fire was ignited!" Two minutes later, a damage control officer reported.
"Quickly put out the fire!" Lieutenant General Otto Schneewendt ordered with a dark face.
At this juncture, being hit by the islanders is not good news. After the battleship is on fire, it will inevitably be bombarded more violently by the enemy. Especially after the firelight guides the enemy, the accuracy of the enemy's shelling will definitely be improved.
"The islanders are able to hit us from such a distance, isn't it their luck?" Major General Abraham's face was also very ugly. You know, the battle distance between the two sides is now more than eighteen kilometers. If it is daytime, this distance may be just right. But this is at night! The navy of the island country does not have a gun-sighting radar.
Lieutenant General Otto Schneewendt nodded. His face was very ugly, and he was obviously worried about the bad luck of the islanders. You must know that at this distance, when the line of sight is severely blocked, the possibility of hitting the German fleet is very, very low, similar to winning the jackpot. But the islanders really hit the German Navy's warship, which is undoubtedly very speechless.
A large number of damage control personnel wearing gas masks and dragging water hoses rushed to the place where the fire started. They must put out the fire in the shortest possible time. Otherwise, this would make the battlecruiser Blücher a shell magnet.
In fact, the moment the battlecruiser "Blücher" ignited the fire, the shelling of the four battleships of the island navy became more violent. The officers and soldiers of the Japanese navy all thought that their luck had come. Therefore, the frequency of shelling has been accelerated.
"Haha! God bless Amaterasu! We have hit the Germans! Order all ships, seize this opportunity, and sink the German warships!" Lieutenant Admiral Takasu Shiro smiled happily. When his flagship was hit one after another, he was able to counterattack successfully, which undoubtedly boosted the morale of the island navy. After all, the navy of the island country thinks its own strength is very strong, and it was completely an accident that it lost to the German navy in the last naval battle.
The generals of the island nation's navy generally believe that the strength of the German Navy's aircraft carrier team is higher than that of the island nation's navy. However, in the capital ship battle group, it is the navy of the island country that takes the lead. But unfortunately, in the last naval battle, the battleship formation of the island nation's navy suffered a crushing defeat in front of the battleship formation of the German navy and suffered heavy losses.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The main guns of the capital ships of both sides are firing crazily, smashing heavy shells one after another at the opponent's warship, trying to destroy or sink the opponent's warship in the shortest possible time. This made this naval battle more intense.
The battleship Suruga, the flagship of the island nation fleet, and the battlecruiser Blücher, the flagship of the German fleet, both became targets of attack. One after another, the shells all rushed towards the two warships. Even if these warships are huge warships with a displacement of more than 40,000 tons, once they are hit, the consequences will be very serious. If there are more and more shells, it will only be a matter of time before they are sunk.
Especially when the battleship 'Suruga' and the battlecruiser 'Blücher' were both on fire, it was even more dangerous.
The damage control personnel on both sides are desperately putting out the fire, trying to put out the fire before it is hit more seriously.
With the efforts of the damage control personnel, five minutes after the battlecruiser 'Blücher' was hit, the fire was finally extinguished. And within these five minutes, the island nation's fleet failed to hit the battlecruiser 'Blücher' again. This made the island nation's fleet up and down, only to watch the huge figure of the battlecruiser 'Blücher' disappear in the darkness.
"Eight Ga!" Seeing such a situation, Lieutenant General Takasu Shiro was very angry, but more helpless.
Fortunately, the fire on the battleship "Suruga" was also extinguished, which made Lieutenant General Takasu Shiro heave a sigh of relief. Otherwise, the island nation's fleet would be even more at a disadvantage in this naval battle.
But even so, the German fleet still has a great advantage. They have the artifact of artillery sight radar, and the probability of hitting is naturally much higher than that of the German fleet.
At 1:55, the German fleet hit the battleship 'Suruga' again. A 380mm artillery shell fired from the battlecruiser "Lützow" hit the rear deck of the battleship "Suruga". The shell hit the No. 5 main turret on the stern of the battleship Suruga. The 300mm turret armor was simply unable to withstand the 380mm shells fired by the 50 times the caliber main gun, and was easily torn apart.
The shell exploded inside the turret, overturning the entire turret. All the island sailors inside were killed. At the same time, the overturned turret also withstood the No. 4 main turret, causing the two main guns of this turret to be jacked up and unable to continue firing. This directly caused the battleship 'Suruga' to lose 40% of its firepower.
"Your Excellency, the two main turrets on the rear deck have been destroyed." Major General Suzuki Yoshio reported.
Lieutenant Admiral Takasu Shiro looked very ugly. He knew that the island fleet might be at a disadvantage this time. It would be very difficult to defeat the German fleet.
"Your Excellency, the German fleet may really have a way to find the target at night and launch an attack." Rear Admiral Suzuki Yoshio said.
After the last naval battle, the island fleet has already had speculation in this regard. Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for the German fleet to have such a high hit rate.
Lieutenant General Takasushiro nodded: "The scientific research institute speculates that this is the application of radar technology by the Germans. They must rely on advanced radar to have such a high hit rate."
The faces of both of them were very ugly, but at the same time, they were very helpless. Who made the gap between the scientific and technological strength of the island country and Germany so large? The German Navy can already use radar to guide the main gun and improve the hit rate. However, the navy of the island country is still working hard to increase the detection range of the radar. This makes it difficult for them to defeat the German fleet.
"No wonder the Germans dare not build new capital ships and use those old warships to deal with us! This may be their confidence!" Lieutenant General Takasu Shiro sighed.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"Bastard! Report the loss!" Lieutenant General Otto Schneewendt almost jumped up.
