One night, the first reconnaissance fleet sank a cutting-edge patrol and hit the pride of the British empire-the Elizabeth-class battleship War-weariness forced the cutting-edge fast battleship to quit the battle. Ten minutes ago, the new achievements were confirmed and notified by the fleet that the British had lost an old battle cruiser again, and it was still Lieutenant General Heidi Selim.
Commander-in-Chief Scheer before the peak war announced that the allies had harvested the Murderos Bay in the distant Mediterranean Sea, and the raid victory over the renowned seven-turret sacred Ginkul finally died at the doorstep of the Muslim world. It seems that … this naval battle also has the shadow of Lieutenant General Selim, commander of the first reconnaissance fleet!
"The first reconnaissance fleet also fast fleet pestering cross and new show off information to gain damn it! I can stay in the turret of Andong and continue to shoot! "
"At 7: 52, frederick the great fired a long shot at Ajax’s ninth main gun!"
The average firing rate of the Imperial 5-times-diameter 35 mm gun is three rounds per minute, but it takes twenty seconds for the shell to fly. That is to say, when a new round of shells has just rowed, another shell has splashed down the other side of the British battle line, so the cross-calibration is formed. It is not easy to observe and judge the landing point, which leads to the calculation of firing parameters dislocation and mistakes. However, such technical work is not difficult to fail the rigorous German staff.
The news that the watchtower came back was dull and still embarrassing. After the silence, the heavy voice of the frederick the great gun echoed in the horn.
"All turrets pay attention to receiving new shooting parameters to correct the shooting angle!"
"Are you ready for the eleventh round of shelling?" Del frowned at the thought of the first nine rounds of shelling with fine results.
Imperial naval training is quite hard, based on three days of small drills and five days of exercises. Del finally got the battle recognition after day-to-day artillery training and damage control exercises, and made outstanding performance in the Baltic Sea combat cruise training in late February and early March.
Hundreds of nautical miles rush to the clear water, the white sand and the picturesque Baltic Sea. There are also breathtaking scenes of 35mm main gun volley, melee, night battle, fog war and ultra-long-distance gun battle. Turret volley, main gun and semi-gun fire rapid fire, planned shooting and diffusion, as well as high-intensity pipe damage, emergency avoidance and torpedo prevention drills. Del has learned that the naval warfare department can follow the ocean fleet and follow the flag frederick the great into this unprecedented steam naval battle defined by the old gunner Lieutenant boateng. After that, he found that his limited experience and poor imagination are not true.
Just as five minutes tortures people, the main gun runs half and shoots slowly. Because the crossfire distance is too far, it is expected that the cross-fire in the fork will be delayed. Anton gun is still tepid, correcting the angle and waiting for the timing of rapid fire. Just as the observation hole is different, the Apollo Luohai battle cruise scene splashes water, blocks the sun, and the propellant smoke is red!
"Angle correction azimuth negative point three-degree elevation correction point one-degree propellant quantity remains unchanged!"
Artillery is a discipline that requires talent and complete experience and technology. The gunner of a gun group is usually borne by the most experienced old gunner, who has absolute power in the rapidly changing sea battle.
New shooting parameters Lieutenant boateng, the gunner, wandered around in his ears for more than ten years. The gunner squinted and flashed his sharp eyes across the data transmitter. The short and powerful instructions penetrated his thick beard and pierced everyone’s ears with a jaw gas mask.
Turret operator, private first class Simon manipulated the pneumatic steering wheel and carefully proofread the dial. Simon has the highest education and the most knowledge in the Anton artillery group. He is a mechanical student at Stuttgart University. After the war broke out, he lost his dark color and learned to change to another set with navy armbands printed on it.
Del’s impression is that imperial universities always collect them, but they are not lacking in patriotism, but they are quite implicit, which makes ordinary citizens flinch. However, Del Simon can’t feel this because he is Jewish, to be exact, Jewish German, Christian country, and the fate of Jews doesn’t need to be famous for wandering gypsies. It is better to be crucified. Jesus and evil before the Middle Ages always said that Jews are treacherous and good at betrayal.
"Will Simon?"
The answer isno. Heidi Selim, Del’s most admired general, said more than once that to live in this magnificent land of Germany, we should take up arms. So-called Frank, Saxony, Schwab and Bavarians fight side by side, and he is German! Simon wore an imperial navy. He swore allegiance to the emperor. We fought side by side. He was German!
Force-driven hydraulic winch fine-tuning through thick arm Simon felt the bearing bite vibrate Private First Class lightly heaved a sigh of relief, and his white face flashed with a shallow smirk at Del, winking at him and saying,
"Bite it!"
The indicator light of the pneumatic bolt didn’t light up. It’s not yet time for Del’s performance. In the microphone booster of the turret department, Claire, the chief of the powder room of Anton turret, has a rigid voice.
"The gunner’s ammunition loader is loaded!"
Clare is an old hand. He joined the navy much earlier than the gunner. Clare is very powerful. It is said that he can recite the watch of the main guns of the Empire with three calibers, 2, 35 and 35, in one breath. Del never doubted these, because he had seen Clare not penetrate the watch with his own eyes. A series of detailed data in front of him gave the new Dora gunner a dog’s blood spray.
However, despite Claire’s super professionalism, Del still feels that Claire resembles the vampire image invented by European medieval church priests, just as he has black eyes, white eyes, silent face and stuffy personality.
"The gunner’s flat angle negative point three-degree elevation point has been corrected once!"
Simon will repeat the instructions previously reached by gunner boateng, which is a naval rule. Repeating instructions can avoid unnecessary mistakes and accurately reject mistakes in naval battles!
The gunner’s sharp eyes turned to stay private green face.
Although the imperial capital ship has a ship fire control tower, which can accurately calculate the firing parameters according to the data of range finder, azimuth dial and bottom log, the fire control tower is not similar to the popular central aiming automatic fire equipment in Britain. In naval warfare, the artillery staff will manually input the firing data and then feed it back to each turret through precision equipment. When the turret is ready to launch, the gunner will press the button, and then the indicator light and bell will be fired in front of each main gunner. At the same time, the only thing that the gunner has to do before considering the rolling period of the hull is to shoot the shells out as soon as possible.
The indicator light finally lights up after the ammunition conveyor sends the heavy armor-piercing ammunition into the left gun bore and the bolt locks automatically.
"Anton turret launch!"
The muffled hum rang again, and the turret was silent. The ammunition depot and propellant room were busy fiddling with the split-type armor-piercing ammunition. Sailor Del was busy checking the bolt and the service of the gun tube. The sailors silently started a new round of shelling preparations.
It should have been more than twenty seconds since an armor-piercing bullet was discharged? The sense of rhythm can’t be wrong, but Del still sometimes freezes the illusion. It seems that the hands have gone for centuries, but when I look up, I am surprised to find that there are still centuries ahead!
"Emperor, we played a cross-shot! At 7: 52, frederick the great shot across Ajax’s tenth main gun! An armor-piercing bullet drilled into the back of Ajax No.1 chimney and another armor-piercing bullet smashed the bow of Ajax! "
The feeling of suffocation and dullness disappeared in an instant. If the news of the lookout disappeared, it would be like the storm of the century penetrating the 35 mm thick armor of Anton turret and shocking the gunner’s eardrum. One second before, it was stumbling and preoccupied. The German navy finally recovered its youthful color.
"Guys, here’s our chance. We have to swing our arms and shoot a few rounds of rapid fire. We will definitely keep Joe Five, the Englishman!" Lieutenant boateng, the bitter gunner, finally grinned and clapped his hands. His eyes were full of fiery and bloodthirsty taste.
"Although it is very hard, I like this feeling!"
The paranoia disappeared, and the discomfort with the powerful recoil of the 35 guns disappeared. This is the era of blood, and Delly clenched his fist.
At 7: 52, out of chaos, the ocean fleet finally achieved results. Before the war, it visited the Kiel military port in Germany and promised peace for generations. The battleship Joe V Ajax suffered a terrible cross-fire. Then in three minutes, a total of six 35 mm armor-piercing projectiles hit the super-feared ship Ajax. The bow water line, the horizontal armor at the stern and the armor belt at the rear were continuously pierced through the hull and a large amount of water was poured into it.
The King George V Battleship keeps the 12-inch waterline with the main armor and the 11-inch turret. Some changes have been made in the basic protection design, and the hull strength has been strengthened. The armor from the bow turret to the bow Y turret constitutes a continuous protection area.
However, Joe’s five-level or all British dreaded ships cover up the paper figures. The charm was verified in an accident in November 1914. Joe’s third brother Ajax, the battleship Bold, sank in northern Scotland just after being hit by a mine. This shows the poor explosion-proof strength and watertight design of the British battleship hull.
At 7: 56, after fermentation, an armor-piercing bullet finally sublimated and hit the main armor of the Ajax waterline.
Just as the British treated battle cruiser harshly, the "Battleship 343" was full to be one meter above the waterline, and the waterline with the main armor was one deck higher, thus reaching an "amazing" one meter.
In fact, it is not easy to find a narrow waterline with the main armor among the 12-inch armor-piercing projectile without the blessing of holy light and magic. However, the German armor-piercing projectile failed to follow the miracle and missed the 12-inch thickest part of the waterline and penetrated the 1-inch armor belt after deviating from three meters.
A big hole with a diameter of two meters was dug at the waterline of the armor-piercing projectile Ajax. At this time, the Ajax had flooded more than 2,000 tons, and the bow of the ship was heavily planted in the sea. The front deck was two meters away from the sea. It was economical to inject water and level it. After five minutes of hard support, the captain led the crew and had to abandon the ship.
At 01: 00, the destroyer Ruby fired three torpedoes at the Ajax, which violently exploded and completely destroyed this huge steel ship with a cost of 190,000 pounds equivalent to gold, so it sank and died in the Scarborough Gerakl Strait.
At 7: 56, it was not just the frederick the great that won the war. The fighting distance at the end of a distant battle line was less than 152 meters. It was used to make up and share the artillery fire. The Hanover and Silesia, the fourth detachment of the second battleship team, were beaten by the three ships of the British Fear, Bellerophon and Magnificent, which symbolized the sadness of the former fear of the ship era. The explosion after the armor on the top of the turret of the Bererophon class battleship recklessness was pierced indicates that the world’s first fear of the ship for a long time is a way to realize the compromise.

"The first team has been re-distanced by the British, but why hasn’t the second team completed the simple east-south turn?"
"At 7: 51, Hergolan hit the target ship Hercules, and the bow of Hercules ignited a fire? ! Damn it, it’s been five minutes, and I still have this vague report in my hand! Who can tell me whether the Hercules is still fighting or tottering, knowing that the fourth detachment is carrying three British capital ships! "
"Go and get Kurt Frewald for me. When on earth will he be able to repair the broken signal cable? You know, the Ostfrisland is my flagship!"
Roaring against the eardrum of the young man, Wolfgang Wei Gena, the chief staff officer of the first battleship, secretly turned his head and made a grin at the deputy commander of the fleet.
Lieutenant General Schmidt, commander, has reason to feel angry, because the ocean fleet was the first to become an army after the completion of the exhibition, and the fleet was a little stiff. The officers and men not only failed to show the usual hard training and matching level in previous rounds of shelling, but also ignored the problems due to lack of experience.
Lieutenant General Schmidt’s mood broke out and he fell with pride. When he roared to the extreme, he almost overturned the armored lieutenant general at the top of the commander tower. It was not Schell who was brave and ruthless, but after all, the German nation’s rigidity and meticulousness had penetrated into his blood. After all, Lieutenant General devoted too much effort to this fleet.
"Although the second team can fly more than 22 knots, they still have to cover the second battleship!" The young man was silent. The deputy commander of the fleet was a nice guy, Major General. He was covered with fine sweat and twisted his teeth on his forehead. He put his hat under his armpit and cocked his head and explained the sentence timidly.
No trace of prevarication obviously can’t prevaricate anger Schmidt, but the intelligence staff broke into the command tower and saved the good guy.
