Chapter 731: Tragic (ask for a monthly ticket)
"Boom!"
An 80mm shell hit a secondary battery on the battlecruiser \'Mackenson\'. Although the cannon was not blown up, several gunners were torn to pieces. Remnants and broken arms flew everywhere, and blood flowed everywhere along the deck. However, at this juncture, no one cares about that at all. Almost everyone is fighting in blood.
"Boom! Boom!"
Constant shells hit the destroyer "Kamikaze", which made the destroyer very embarrassed. The superstructure was riddled with holes and was on fire. However, the destroyer \'Kamikaze\', which has not suffered major damage, is still charging.
"Boom!"
A 150mm artillery shell hit the bow of the destroyer "Kamikaze", blowing up an 80mm naval gun.
Immediately afterwards, several 88mm shells hit the destroyer \'Kamikaze\'. Shrapnel flew across, killing all the island sailors exposed on the deck. But even so, it did not affect the charge of the destroyer \'Kamikaze\'.
However, the good luck of the destroyer "Kamikaze" ended here.
A 150mm artillery shell hit the engine compartment of the destroyer "Kamikaze". After the engine compartment was damaged, the speed of the destroyer "Kamikaze" became slower and slower, and soon it was floating on the sea like a dead fish.
This gave the German expeditionary fleet an excellent opportunity. A series of shells went down, and the destroyer "Kamikaze" began to sink.
Destroyers \'Yayoi\' and \'Kasaragi\' also passed through the bullet rain. However, under the intensive bombardment, the two destroyers rushed to the destroyer \'Mackenson\' at all, and when they were three thousand meters away, they were already beaten up and ignited a raging fire. They were sunk before they could reach a position where they could launch torpedoes.
The German naval officers and soldiers on the battlecruiser \'Mackensen\' breathed a sigh of relief at this time. Even Lieutenant General Shi Pei and Major General Mao Fu are the same.
While the battlecruiser \'Mackenson\' was doing its best to deal with the enemy in front of it, the other eight battlecruisers were doing the same thing. For them, the capital ship formation of the island navy is no longer important at this moment. It is important to deal with the lightning strikes of these island destroyers first. To destroy the enemy, you must first save yourself. Therefore, the top priority is to get rid of these island country destroyers.
The battlecruiser "Derfflinger" was also besieged by four "Kamikaze" destroyers. To ensure your own safety. The battlecruiser "Derfflinger" can be said to be fully fired. The dense shells are fired as if they don\'t need money. On the surface of the sea, jets of water splashed into the sky.
With the protection of two destroyers and a light cruiser, the battlecruiser \'Derfflinger\' is undoubtedly very safe. However, there are always exceptions.
The destroyer "Zhoufeng" of the island nation\'s navy is worthy of his name. In this battle, luck seems to be very good. The cannonballs avoided him one after another as if they had eyes. This made the destroyer "Chasing the Wind" rush to a distance of 1,500 meters from the destroyer "Derfflinger" without any risk.
"Launch the torpedo!" Lieutenant Hiroo Tange, the captain of the destroyer "Chasing the Wind", ordered loudly.
"Bang! Bang!"
Two 450mm torpedoes rushed towards the battlecruiser "Derfflinger" quickly. The speed of the torpedoes was as high as 30 knots.
"Evade!" The captain of the battlecruiser "Derfflinger" issued an order to evade torpedoes. Although the waterline armor of the battlecruiser "Derfflinger" is very thick, there is no need to fight hard! In case of being hit, no one knows what the consequences will be.
The huge battlecruiser "Derfflinger" immediately began to turn, trying to point the bow in the direction of the torpedo attack. In this case, the probability of being hit can be effectively reduced.
Perhaps it was because of the bad luck of the battlecruiser "Derfflinger". Two torpedoes escaped one, but hit the stern of the waterline ship of the "Derfflinger" the other day.
"Boom!"
The torpedo exploded violently, striking the waterline armor of the battlecruiser \'Derfflinger\' with great power. But it is a pity that the waterline armor with a thickness of 380 mm firmly resisted the power of the torpedo explosion, and there was no injury at all.
"Baga! Turn around immediately and reload the torpedo!" Captain Tange Hiroo ordered angrily.
The destroyer \'Chasing the Wind\' began to turn. But for a destroyer sailing at high speed, it is not so easy to turn around. It needs to make a big circle on the sea.
At this time, the distance between the destroyer "Zhoufeng" and the battlecruiser "Derfflinger" and other German warships is very close. In particular, the destroyer "Chasing the Wind" exposed its side to the gun muzzle at this time. The possibility of being hit naturally increases greatly.
"Boom! Boom!"
The destroyer \'Zhoufeng\' didn\'t have such good luck this time. The dense shells hit him and set him on fire.
Before the destroyer "Chasing the Wind" had not completed its turn, a 150mm artillery shell hit its side, and a big hole was blown below the waterline.
Sea water poured into the hull of the destroyer \'Chasing the Wind\' immediately, causing it to tilt rapidly, and the speed of the battleship was also affected as a result.
Subsequently, more and more shells hit the destroyer \'Zhoufeng\'. These shells almost tore the destroyer \'Zhaifeng\' into pieces. All 70 island navy sailors on the battleship were killed.
A destroyer launching a lightning strike is like an assassin holding a dagger, and needs to launch a personal attack. In such a battle, the casualties are the greatest. At the same time, it is also the worst.
