The second gun Chapter 12 The Stars and Stripes Fall (5)
(There is only the last section left in the naval battle of Orkney Islands …)
"("King of the North Atlantic "section 7 at the end of the rice flag ri)
The fast fleet of the Third Battleship finally got a head start and ended.
At 14: 01, the first battle patrol fleet of the front team of the fast fleet, three magic change-class battle cruiser, with a total of ten 15-inch main guns, fired one after another. Shells smashed like thunder hammers near the third battleship fleet. The deep Se Wang Yang splashed a large group of water columns, boiling up in the North Sea, adding more ferocity. Occasionally, one or two armor-piercing bullets were capped to form a near-missing effect, and the water columns splashed down like waterfalls, violently washing away the deck of the steel giant ship, which was stained with smoke marks because the main guns fired.
When the World War II patrol fleet, the main force of three high-ranking patrol ships, joined the battle group, the Germans also played the horn of counterattack. The Bavarian majestic main gun proudly looked up with cold light and the muzzle of death was pointing at the barham patrol less than 12 thousand meters away
Branding the watchtower of the British capital ship with the M-flag, the novices couldn’t help but hold their breath with wide eyes and watched in horror as the German prehistoric monster suddenly burst into a terrible death ray, and then grandly let the shell fly for more than two centuries until the large-caliber shell splashed down near the fast fleet and set off a thrilling wave.
The battle line decisive battle between two opposing and fearful fleets is completely different. Because of the relatively fast speed of the opposing fleets, it is difficult for the artillery department to accurately observe the distance of the target ship, aim, measure the azimuth and range, judge and proofread the impact point of the shells. It is not only inefficient, but also easy to lose the target ship. Because of the poor fire distribution, the battle line battle has turned into a disorderly scuffle.
In order to avoid this situation, the fleet commander usually chooses the firepower of the fleet department of the fire opponent to throw as much fire as possible into a general area for a short time until a round of orientation adjustment of the fire attack is carried out, and this fire area usually covers a certain fleet of the other side or the other side’s route.
At the southernmost tip of the naval battlefield, the warring parties unanimously chose the fire method, but the effect was completely different.
The British shells scattered around the third battleship fleet. For the British who have a large number of 15-inch main guns, this kind of weak shelling is simply a waste of time, while their opponents are big and round, and the Bavarian, King and Caesar battleships are full of vitality.
Compared with the British, the German Third Battleship ended the first few rounds of inefficient school, and then the subsequent rounds of shelling began to have Se.
The first fire target of the third Battleship is the first battle patrol fleet, which is the front line of the fast fleet composed of three Queen magic change class patrols. Although the third Battleship has many records of hitting opponents, the Queen magic change class patrol is rough enough. Therefore, these German strong men of Bavaria class and King class in the seventh team tore down a main turret to add boilers and armor to the Queen class. The fifth team of Germany seriously injured the battleship King by fire before joining the battle group.
The Germans carried out several rounds of fire in a row to cover the retreat of the main fleet. Except for the Malaya, all the ships were smooth. When the Germans were flustered and angry, they aimed the fire at the World War II patrol fleet. It was time to harvest.
Facing each other, the battle line is decisive, and the hit rate of the two sides’ main guns is low, which is so frightening. The third battleship still hit the British World War II patrol fleet for a while.
Adjust the target ship. In the second round of the fire, Wangwang patrolled a 35 mm armor-piercing projectile, which caused the ship to be directly pierced from the armor to the water shipbuilding steel, forming a * * type underwater projectile. So this expensive main ship, which has received magic change three times, instantly tilted to the right for 4 degrees and dropped its speed by 1 section.
The patrol performance of the Resistance was even worse. In the third round of fire, two 35 mm armor-piercing projectiles were hit. The only turret in the side of the Resistance was cut with big holes. The only good thing is that the second 35 mm armor-piercing projectile was not too big after tearing the crown of the turret, which made the Resistance patrol in the North Sea last for nearly 20 minutes.
Now that the Germans have tasted the sweetness, Heidi Selim personally commanded the Third Battleship, and the reason for not washing his hands is to persistently chase the World War II patrol fleet, shouting and killing.
So in the violent explosion, the Wanghao patrol sank.
In fact, the loss of the World War II patrol fleet is not wrong, and it can also be called magic change’s revenge level. However, it is also a British magician who works part-time as a shipbuilding designer. magic change’s effect is quite different. The patrol equipment comes from the oil-fired boiler high-speed battleship magic change, and three double 15-inch main turrets maintain the maximum speed of 2 knots. At the same time, it also has a 13-inch waterline with main armor to cut corners in Ri, and the armored belt from the coal-fired boiler battleship magic change is unambiguous. The same three 15-inch main guns and two maximum speed data, it has a 7-inch waterline with main armor. Even if David Betty ordered Wangji to return to the factory to replace the armor after the British Third Minister, its waterline with main armor was still 9 inches.
Not to be outdone, the British became angry from embarrassment and started to fire. The German fifth team, however, the four Caesar-class battleships in the fifth team, although the fire output was not enough, were more than enough to withstand the British’s unreliable fire. So when the two fleets completed the wrong shoulder and passed by, the British lost their lookout and resisted, dragging the sky to cover the smoke, and finally seemed to shake and fall; Before that, the seriously injured Warrior patrol barely remained in the battle line battle sequence, but it was also in a bad state.
The distance between the two fleets is constantly being pulled apart, and it is becoming more and more difficult to accurately hit the opponent. Although Heidi Selim doesn’t expect the third battleship team to achieve any success, after all, the two patrol boats are still guilty, so the senior officers of the ocean fleet heard it without surprise and kept a’ gentleman’s demeanor’. Heidi Selim roared with vicissitudes of life.
The German surface wolves on this side of the battle line of the main fleet harvested the remaining two main ships of the British Second Battleship just like chopping melons and vegetables.
It was also because of the delay of the Marboro and Bao battleships that they were too fond of the Joe V and Hercules battleships. The ocean fleet inadvertently opened the distance between the British First Battleship.
At 14: 03, the North Sea boom finally stopped.
The British destroyer on the battle line of the main fleet inserted into the battlefield at a high speed, threatening the Germans to release smoke to cover their own main ship to retreat the battleship vs. the fast fleet of the war patrol battlefield strode to get rid of the entanglement of the third battleship and was running towards the north at a high speed.
The Third Battleship and the First Battleship symbolically pursued and fled to the depths of Firth Bay. The first reconnaissance group of the big fleet gave up the pursuit of the indomitable and patrolled the north to search for the fast fleet for half an hour and allowed to return.’
In this way, after hastily explaining a few words, let the deputy commander of the fleet take over the command, Heidi Selim walked out of the sultry commander tower and came to the trestle where the smoke and blood still did not disperse.
General, we won?’
The immediate victory seems to be the German national spirit. Even in the craziest and most perverse dreams, YIN has never seen such a brilliant victory: Determination, Marlboro, Bao, Joe V, Huntington, Hercules, Giant, Centurion, collingwood, Neptune, Royal Oak, Canada, Burroughs, Magnificent, South Africa, Singapore, Hong Kong, etc.
The German guy, with a bandage on his head, timidly commanded the rear of the tower and looked at the reverence. He took off his cap and blew the sea breeze with a cigarette. The naval god of war asked pathetically.
General, did we really win?’
Heidi Selim held the trestle and looked up at the sky with her hands, holding a smoky cigarette in one hand and pulling out a small bottle of rum with a boat secretly in the other.
West Lyme skillfully bit off the bottle and drove the fleet staff officer, Major General Lewentzo, to swallow a few mouthfuls at random before stopping it, until the rum in his heart eased his nerves for more than three hours before turning around to reply.
Little brandeis, I’m sure!’
When Selim said this, he didn’t know that the British destroyer lost speed behind the smoke, and the flagship revenge of the big fleet gradually fell off the battle line. Finally, David Betty had to move his headquarters to the battleship Jun; I don’t know that the command of the four star-spangled banner battleships failed due to fiasco on the way back to the south. The British Admiralty advised the Americans that it was still high-speed south; I don’t even know that the fast fleet broke off from the patrol line of the Oden and resisted the main engine of the patrol ship to stop soon after, and the hull broke and sank due to uneven stress.
At this time, there is no greedy seabirds in the North Sea. Se Wang Yang is full of scars. West Lyme clenched his fist and repeated it vigorously.
I’m sure!’ to be continued

(Another Gao há and thanks to ly423 for the reward …)
"("The King of the North Atlantic "Section American Tragedy)
The battlefield filled with smoke suddenly calmed down, and the British First Battleship and the German Third and First Battleship were entangled with each other and headed for the depths of Firth Bay. After the completion of the first reconnaissance group, the patrol turned its course and chased the British fast fleet in the direction of leaving. So two steel fleets left the battlefield one after another, leaving the flagship Bavarian, which was difficult to sail because of flue damage, and the power cabin was shot by the Regent Louie Polder. The first detachment of the two ships were seriously damaged, and the two battleships with sā class continued to fight.
The boom gun that enveloped the North Sea faded away and was replaced by strange silence.
Commander-in-Chief of the Ocean Fleet Heidi Selim moved his headquarters to the battleship Emperoy Hou early, leaving four battered battleships, the old flagship Bavaria, in command, slowly turned the bow and headed east for Heidi Selim to mark the meeting point of the Ocean Fleet.
The departure of the last few capital ships doesn’t mean that this corner of the North Sea will be lonely, flying the Red Cross flag, hospital ships and destroyers will be left behind, and the priest will sing, and the pastoral band will blow the mass of the dead, and the sailors will release it, or the steam-powered dinghy or the human-powered sampan will be covered with wood chips, burning oil, military clothes and the bodies of the dead soldiers. The battlefield will shuttle back and forth to search for the lucky ones, collect the bodies of the dead and sort out the relics of the soldiers.
No matter whether it is a crushing defeat of the British or a brilliant victory, the Germans will not suddenly attack at this moment and continue to work hard. Although hatred, honor and shame are necessary qualities for the navy, they are more noble than this, and they respect life. Even though Germany and Britain have been fighting for three years, they have forged endless steel hatred, but hindering battlefield rescue is still based on humanitarianism, which is also an ancient naval etiquette.
The atmosphere in the southwest and northeast of the battlefield is completely different.
David Betty never had the experience of abandoning one’s own people before the death of the country. He lost three capital ships of the second battleship team and two capital ships of the third detachment on the spot, and also buried the final sense of honor of the Mizi flagship team. Since the Royal Navy has lost the sense of shame of sailors, the naval officers and men’s residual fighting will and determination will inevitably collapse with the collapse, and then they will be exiled from J and jīng God to * *
The military discipline and rank of the fleeing road disappeared, and the officers could not command the sailors. The sailors ignored the officers. No one noticed the formation of the fleet, and no one noted that the ship was dead and contracted. The commander tower sighed, and the captain rolled over his wounds and cried. The wounded soldiers knelt on the deck and cried. The gunners and the boiler soldiers who could hardly lift their arms.
There may be stubborn soldiers in the main fleet of the big fleet, but the cowards and despicable people can’t find anything to pay homage to their heroic souls, so only six capital ships of the British First Battleship are driven around like ducks.
The giant steel ship flying the German navy flag and the Z-shaped flag on Beidao Road also pursued the fast fleet fleeing to Scarpa Bay at high speed.
The waves of the towering German battleship North Sea are bumpy, and sometimes huge waves turn over the flat deck of the battleship’s side and rampage, and there will also be a magnificent scene in which the battleship’s upright bow splits and waves shake out several small white flowers.
The ship’s hull trembles and creaks from time to time. The sailors roll and pitch violently, staggering in the sea, making the warship soar at a higher speed, towering the watchtower, and trying to find the trestle on the back side of the ship’s shadow control tower of the fast fleet. The officers and sailors are excited, covering their hats that are about to be blown away, and their ears are full of sea breeze whistling, making a terrible sound to the magnificent sea.
This is the German Sea and this is our sea!’
German naval officers and men said these words after the naval battle in Ritland. At that time, most people on both sides of the North Atlantic would not have thought that the Royal Navy could survive the difficult times, moved the national treasury and rebuilt the big fleet at the cost. On this day, German naval officers and men shouted these words again. Perhaps some countries still have initiatives in their hearts, but no one will whimsically admit that they have lost more than 20 capital ships. The Royal Navy can get up again and be stronger before the fiasco!
Britain is finished, except for a few battleships and war cruises, and there are a lot of ten thousand-ton ships, but only six-inch main guns are installed to patrol and rule the ocean. The empire has almost lost its navy. Since the empire has lost its magic weapon of rising, it is time for the empire to fall for more than two hundred years!
On the way to the north, the commander of the first reconnaissance group, Lieutenant General Bi haneke, thought that he could drive at a speed of 27 knots for a while, and the high-speed capital ship method could keep the speed of 27 knots. The fast fleet handed over the fleet command to the deputy commander and returned to his cabin to start writing letters to his wife.
The British lost the throne of maritime hegemony, and the French were defeated in the naval battle in ustica. Italy and Austria-Hungary are our allies. We are already the only masters of the vast North Atlantic. Before the Americans ranked third in the world, they were not qualified to challenge us!
But the actual fast fleet speed is not as fast as Major General haneke imagined, and the escape distance is not as far as he imagined.
To maintain a high speed for a long time, every capital ship of the fast fleet has more or less power problems, and the tail of the fleet has been hit hard and lost speed. General Lampard can keep the fast fleet at a low speed of about 14 knots.
Lampard has realized that the Royal Navy’s fiasco can be avoided, so it may break out in the defense of British soil. Every capital ship of the large fleet is particularly important. The senior British naval officer Ri does not leave the empire to retain more vitality. Lampard is duty-bound!
Since the fast fleet guessed that West Lyme would send the first reconnaissance group to pursue it to a certain extent, General Lampard naturally dared not let the fast fleet swagger out of the southern coastline of some British Scottish peninsulas and directly return to Scarpa Bay, but let the fast fleet make a big circle eastward along the offshore of the peninsula and guess that the first reconnaissance group would give up the pursuit before readjusting its course to the north.
It’s a pity that people are not as good as the sky. When the waves are many, the formation is folded and the formation turns. Major General haneke didn’t chase the fast fleet at all. The idea was to draw a straight line by hand on the chart, and the result just crossed the fast fleet route
Lieutenant Roddick, the North Sea is too quiet. Any news from the British?’
Admiral Rodman, the commander of the battleship Vader, the only American naval commander who can come up with a hand, finally began to feel anxious.
The latest newspaper reported half an hour ago that the British Admiralty reported that they had lost a battleship and two old-fashioned battle cruiser, sank two German battleships with sā class and hit him hard. The two sides were undergoing complex steering and adjustment.’
Lieutenant Roddick, who is in charge of intelligence, pointed to the chart to demarcate the battlefield position and speculated
General, it’s only been half an hour since we fought with reference to the naval experience of Ritland, and the battlefield situation should not have changed much.’
The British did a good job.’ I’m a little sorry for the sinking of the American battleship Hong Kong, Major General Rodman, but I have to admit that two old-fashioned war cruisers and an export warship were exchanged for two heavy casualties in Germany. The British did a good job. Major General Zamo Zamo looked at the rough chart and said faintly,’ Considering that the British and German fleets are fighting in the direction of south speed, we are likely to join the battlefield in half an hour. Remember to break the fleet line in 15 minutes and ask the British about the specific battlefield situation. I need to evaluate the angle and timing of cutting into the battlefield.’
Until the fleet chief of staff nodded Rodman, Major-General, he turned around and encouraged his colleagues in the headquarters.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the first ship-fearing war of the United States Navy, which is of great significance to the Stars and Stripes Fleet. We have betrayed the name of undeclared war, and we must do our utmost to win the victory and erase this disgraceful history!’ "To be continued.
