Third Reich: I took over power
Chapter 153
"boom! boom! boom!"
The roar of the main guns sounded like thunder in this sea area.
Ten battleships of the Royal Navy Mediterranean Fleet and the Caesar Kingdom Naval Fleet launched a fierce exchange of fire. The
Royal Navy Mediterranean Fleet has an absolute advantage in the number of battleships. advantage.
So much so that they could form a local two-on-one situation during the battle.
The battleship George V launched an attack on the battleship Cayo Dolio. The battleship Revenge and the battleship Royal Sovereign besieged Andrea. Battleship Doria. Battleship Queen Elizabeth dealt with the battleship Count of Cavour, while the battleship Barham and the battlecruiser HMS Renown besieged the battleship Giulio Caesar
"asshole! The Royal Navy's advantage is too obvious, we are no match for them!"Admiral Paul put down the telescope in his hand and his face became very ugly.
"Your Excellency, Commander, the number of battleships in the Royal Navy is fully two more than ours. In addition, the quality of their naval sailors is generally better than ours. Coupled with their superiority in main gun caliber. In fact, our battleships are simply unable to fight against it!"Vice Admiral Giovanni was also very frustrated.
The Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet had such an advantage that it was almost impossible for the Kingdom of Caesar's Navy to turn around.
"What about those guys in the Air Force? When will they arrive?"Admiral Paul can only place his hope on the Air Force.
If the Air Force can dispatch bombers and torpedo planes to attack the Royal Navy Mediterranean Fleet, it may be able to reverse the situation. If not, it can also force the Royal Navy Mediterranean Fleet to retreat and let Caesar The Kingdom's naval fleet can hold out until dark. By then, they will have the possibility of getting rid of the pursuit of the Mediterranean fleet and escaping.
"boom! boom! boom!"
The 14-inch main guns and 15-inch main guns of the Royal Navy Mediterranean were roaring, and the 320-mm main guns of the Caesar Kingdom Navy were also fighting back. The shells roared and hit the opponent's warships one after another.
The shells exploded in the sea. , splashing water columns into the sky, as if the entire ocean was boiling.
"boom!"
A 381mm artillery shell fired from the battleship Queen Elizabeth accurately hit the battleship Count Cavour.
The shell hit the armor near the waterline on the side. Only 9.8 inches of waterline armor was originally hit by the shell. After the shell exploded, a big hole was opened.
Sea water poured into the battleship crazily. Even if the damage control personnel tried their best, they could not plug the big hole and could only choose to close the watertight compartment.
But even if That's right, the battleship Count Cavour also tilted to a certain extent due to too much water.
And this was just the beginning.
Less than two minutes later, the battleship Count Cavour was killed again.
A 381mm shell hit the conning tower of the battleship Count Cavour. The 11-inch-thick armor of the conning tower was also unable to withstand the 381mm armor-piercing shell. The shell exploded inside the conning tower, killing all the officers inside..
This caused the command of the Count of Cavour to fall into chaos for a time.
Then, the battleship Queen Elizabeth even continued to close the distance to further improve the hit accuracy.
This put the battleship of the Count of Cavour into a state of life and death. In the middle of the crisis.
In less than ten minutes, it was hit five times again.
On average, a 381 mm shell hit the Count de Carfour every two minutes.
As a result, the displacement of the ship reached 29,000 tons. The battleship could no longer hold it on.
Several large holes had appeared in the hull, and sea water was pouring into it crazily, making the battleship almost submerged in the water. The more than 1,200 sailors on the battleship were scrambling to save their lives. Escape from the battleship.
At this time, no one wants to save the battleship anymore
"It's over, the Count of Cavour is over!"Admiral Paul's face was very ugly.
A trace of fear flashed across Lieutenant General Giovanni's face. After losing a battleship, the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet will have an even greater advantage. This also means that their situation It will be even more dangerous.
If things go wrong, all four battleships of the Caesar Kingdom Navy will be lost here.
As expected, after the battleship Count Cavour became the first battleship to be sunk, Andrea Duo The battleship Andrea Doria also followed suit.
Under the siege of the battleship Revenge and the battleship Royal Sovereign of the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet, this battleship was also hit many times.
Although the battleship Andrea Doria The counterattack also caused the battleship Revenge to take a lot of shells.
However, the force of the 30mm shells was not great, and the 13-inch armor of the battleship Revenge was completely able to cope with it.
Therefore, even if it was hit multiple times, the damage would not be Large.
The 381mm main gun shells of the battleship Revenge and the battleship Royal Sovereign will pose a fatal threat to the battleship Andrea Doria.
There are only 250mm water armor and 280mm main gun shells. The turret armor, etc., were like paper in front of the 381mm armor-piercing projectile, which was easily penetrated. So much so that the battleship Andrea Doria was under siege by two battleships of the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet. , was beaten very miserably.
Back and forth, more than a dozen 381mm artillery shells hit the battleship, which was riddled with holes.
Several big holes were drilled near the waterline armor alone..
So much sea water poured into the battleship that the battleship Andrea Doria capsized on the sea.
Almost all of the more than 1,500 sailors on the ship sank into the sea along with the battleship. One None of them were able to escape.
Less than twenty minutes after the battle began, the Caesar Kingdom's naval fleet had already lost two battleships. And the remaining two battleships also suffered a lot of shells and were scarred.
If If no miracle happens, it will only be a matter of time before they are killed by the Royal Navy Mediterranean Fleet.
This puts the Caesar Kingdom Navy Fleet in almost a desperate situation.
Fortunately, at this time, the Caesar Kingdom Air Force fighters finally arrived.
24MC.200 Fighters, covering 48 SM.79 bombers and torpedo planes, appeared on the battlefield. These fighters fiercely rushed towards the Royal Navy Mediterranean Fleet._Feilu reminds you: three things about reading - collection, recommendation,
