Jagged Germany

Chapter 1369: Intense collision (seeking monthly ticket)

?? "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

??Several battlecruisers opened fire violently, and heavy shells roared and smashed towards the battleship 'Suruga' of the island nation fleet. Cannonballs fell around the battleship "Suruga", splashing high water columns.

??The officers and soldiers of the island nation on the battleship 'Suruga' were all terrified. The 'Ki-class' battleships pursue firepower and speed too much, so that the armor of the 'Ki-class' battleships is not thick, nor is their defense strong. The side armor is only 280 mm, and the turret armor is only 300 mm. Even the commander with the thickest armor is only 356 mm. Once hit by the German fleet's 50-caliber 380mm main gun, its powerful armor-piercing ability can undoubtedly easily penetrate it.

?? "Baga, fight back!" Lieutenant General Takasu Shiro gave the order to attack viciously.

?? "Your Excellency, the combat distance..." Major General Suzuki Yoshio was a little worried. After all, the distance between the two sides is still eighteen kilometers. Without the assistance of the artillery sighting radar, at this distance, the battleships of the island nation fleet have almost no possibility of hitting the target.

?? "Let's fire first! If you don't fight back, it will have a great impact on the morale of the troops!" Lieutenant General Takasu Shiro said.

??Major General Suzuki Yoshio nodded, and immediately went to convey the order.

?? "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

??The battleship 'Suruga' took the lead in shelling, and five twin-mounted 410mm main guns with a caliber of 45 times opened fire violently. Armor-piercing projectiles weighing more than a ton roared and smashed into the German fleet.

??The battleship 'Omi', the battleship 'Mutsu' and the battleship 'Ise' followed closely behind and started firing. The target of the bombardment of these island battleships is the first battleship of the German fleet's battle line, the flagship battlecruiser "Blücher".

??For a while, the two sides came and went, constantly smashing heavy armor-piercing bullets at each other. The rumble of guns on the sea was like thunder.

??The artillery battle between the two sides seemed to be very intense. However, it is actually two completely different results. The capital ship of the German fleet, with the guidance of the gun sight radar, the impact point is very close. And through constant adjustment, the impact point is getting closer and closer. On the other hand, the island fleet can only fire with experience and luck. As for whether they can hit the target, it can only depend on their character, or the prayer of God Amaterasu.

?? "The islanders fought back? Huh! Let them waste shells. These shells are not cheap after all." Lieutenant General Otto Schneewendt had a mocking smile on his face.

?? "General, the islanders are trying to shorten the distance of the battle." Major General Abraham reminded.

?? "Don't worry about them, as long as the combat distance is controlled at more than 15 kilometers, we will be safe!" Lieutenant General Otto Schneewendt said.

?? Major General Abraham nodded. Although the spear torpedo is fast, it has a long range. However, the longer distance still gave the German fleet a long reaction time. As long as the luck is not too bad, or if it is hit by intensive torpedoes from the island nation's fleet, there is still a great possibility to avoid the island nation's fleet's lightning strikes.

??Of course, Lieutenant General Otto Schneewendt and Rear Admiral Abraham didn't know at the moment that the island nation's fleet was not as weak as they imagined. There are also secret weapons in the island nation's fleet. Once the islanders use their secret weapons, the German fleet will probably pay a big price if they are unreachable.

?? At 1:38 in the morning, 15 minutes after the fierce battle had begun, the German fleet finally scored its first hit in this naval battle. A 380mm artillery shell fired from the battlecruiser 'Von der Tann' hit the battleship 'Suruga'. The shell hit the front deck of the battleship Suruga. Although the deck armor is as thick as 162 mm. However, it still failed to withstand the heavy shells under the action of huge kinetic energy.

??The shell tore through the deck armor of the battleship 'Suruga' and exploded inside the battleship. Several compartments were blown up, and some of the debris inside was also ablaze. The raging fire even spread to the deck, which can be seen from a long distance under the night sky.

?? "Good job!" Lieutenant General Otto Schneewent laughed.

??Although this shell did not cause much damage to the battleship 'Suruga', it was undoubtedly a good start. There are still several hours before dawn, Lieutenant General Otto Schneewent believes that they have enough time to hit the targets, and then sink these targets one by one. Just like what they did in the last naval battle.

?? "Eight Ga!" Lieutenant General Takasu Shiro jumped angrily.

?? "Order the damage control personnel to put out the fire immediately! These fires will make us a living target for the Germans!" Major General Yoshio Suzuki shouted nervously. Under the night sky, the line of sight of both sides is not good. But if the battleship was hit and ignited, it would undoubtedly give the enemy a clear guide.

??The sailors of the island nation wearing gas masks dragged the water dragon and rushed to the fire, trying to put out the fire.

??The fire ignited from the battleship "Suruga" did give several battlecruisers of the German Navy more clear guidance. Several battlecruisers of the German Navy seized this opportunity and poured shells on the battleship 'Suruga' more violently.

??Before the damage control personnel on the battleship "Suruga" had time to put out the fire, the German fleet scored another hit.

?? This time, the flagship battleship 'Blücher' lived up to expectations and hit the battleship 'Suruga'. A 380mm shell hit the side of the battleship Suruga. A 140mm secondary gun was blown away and fell into the sea. At the same time, a bunch of artillery shells were detonated, causing the side of the battleship 'Suruga' to be blown into a mess, and a fire was ignited.

"Very good, keep up the good work! Seize this opportunity and kill the battleship of the Japanese!" Lieutenant Admiral Otto Schnewendt had a smile on his face, as if he had already seen the battleship "Suruga" of the Japanese Navy. It was sunk under heavy fire from the German fleet.

?? "Boom!"

??Suddenly, a violent explosion occurred on the battlecruiser "Blücher". A 410mm artillery shell slammed **** the port side of the battlecruiser 'Blücher'. A 150mm secondary gun was blown into parts, and several sailors were torn to pieces. The port side of the battleship "Blücher" seemed to have been bitten by a dog. At the same time, a fire was also ignited. And this puts the battlecruiser 'Blücher' also in danger.
