Chapter 454 The real ace always comes last! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)
Although the "King of Hanover" was paralyzed by the three of "Qin Shihuang", "Han Gaodi" and "Han Guangwu Emperor", this large battleship with a standard displacement of 2.5 tons is still very capable of being beaten. During the design, the idea of ​​focusing on defense and life-saving was adopted, so the core part of the battleship is very strong, but the deck armor is too negligent, only 25mm-65mm. This is because the design idea is backward. I did not expect that the Ming Naval Air Force Then a 250 kg aerial bomb was loaded!On the one hand, it is because this ship is only 2.5 tons after all, although a lot of tonnage is deducted from the power part, but the five dual-mounted 5-inch turrets consume too much tonnage.If you want to add more tonnage to the deck, then 13.5 tons will be unstoppable, and you will have to go to 2.5 tons.

Although the thick skin obtained at the expense of speed is not invulnerable, it is not the 330mm cannon of the "Qin Shihuang" class that can kill at once.If it was replaced by a "Dazhou" class 360mm cannon to bombard, the "King of Hanover" would have been beaten with holes all over its body.

And while the "King of Hanover" was struggling to be beaten, its helpers finally completed the turn one after another.Now the firepower of the second battleship formation of the British army came up. There were 6 "Emperor of India" ships in this formation, and each ship had 10 13.5-inch guns. flew.So now there are only 58 .58 13.5-inch guns that can be fired together. It's no joke!

After the second battleship formation of the British army completed its turn, the 58 guns were aimed at the "Qin Shihuang" and "Tang Taiwu Emperor" respectively!

At the same time, "Qin Shihuang" also took "Emperor Han Gao", "Emperor Guangwu of Han", "Emperor Jin Wu", "Emperor Wen of Sui" and "Emperor Taiwu of Tang" to complete the steering. They have a total of 48 doors and 330 mm cannon, but instead of aiming at the "King of Hanover" who had already been paralyzed from the beating, he changed his opponent and fired at the "King of Scotland".

The reason why they want to change the target is mainly because the speed of the six "Qin Shihuang" has been maintained well, and it has increased to 6 knots after the turn, so they quickly dumped the "King of Hanover" which can only run at 24 knots. It's behind.On the British side, in order to compete with the six-legged "First Emperor" class for the T position, they had to let the boats that could run go first.A ship that can't run can only lag behind and shoot from a distance.

Therefore, the British "Emperor of India" class quickly ran out of the front and rear teams. It is the "King of Hanover" and the "Emperor of India", the brothers and sisters.Because the four "Emperors of India" in the front team were close to the "Qin Shihuang", all their 38 13.5-inch guns were aimed at the "Qin Shihuang". "First Emperor", the sea water around "First Emperor" seemed to be boiling!

However, the "King of Hanover" and the "Emperor of India" fell behind, getting farther and farther away from the "Qin Shihuang", and it was difficult to aim, so they aimed all their 20 cannons at the last of the 6 "Shihuang" class ships. The "Tang Taiwu Emperor" number.

Now, in the battle between the "First Emperor" class and the "Indian Emperor" class, there have been three unlucky eggs bombed-"Qin Shihuang", "Tang Taiwu Emperor" and "King of Scotland".

And the most unlucky among them must be the "King of Scotland" who became a "little King of Scotland", who was "Qin Shihuang", "Han Gaodi", "Han Guangwu Emperor", "Jin Wudi", "Sui Wendi", "Sui Wendi" Can Emperor Taiwu of the Tang Dynasty still have it? 48 330mm guns fired only three rounds, and a 330mm shell hit the front of the main gun turret of the "King of Scotland"'s midship main gun turret from 12000 meters away!

And at this distance, the 330mm hood armor-piercing projectile is enough to penetrate the 280mm turret armor of the "King of Scotland" that only uses the surface hardening process!And when this 330mm shell drilled into the midship turret of the "King of Scotland", the gun crew members in the turret were firing at the "Qin Shihuang" with the greatest enthusiasm. In order to increase the rate of fire as much as possible, these The brave British gunners ignored the safety regulations and kept the fire door at the bottom of the turret always open in order to supply bombs into the turret faster.

In addition, in order to increase the rate of fire, the British also accumulated a large amount of propellant inside the turret and in the ammunition supply channel to reduce the loading process.

In this case, once the turret is penetrated, the accompanying explosion and fire will not only burn the accumulated propellant, but the fire will also spread to the ammunition depot under the turret through the opened fire door!
Less than 20 seconds after the midship turret of the "King of Scotland" was hit, the midship of this 2.5-ton battleship suddenly exploded with a huge flame, and then another larger flame , followed by the third and fourth big bangs!The fire from the explosion engulfed the entire warship like a tide.This is not something that can be exploded by a single 330mm shell, but the astonishing power produced by more than 150 13.5-inch shells being martyred.The big explosion of these shells formed a temperature enough to melt steel and a huge impact force that was huge enough to tear the steel hull.When they broke free from all shackles and swept across the entire battleship, the entire battlefield seemed to be ignited!

"Long live! Long live Daming!"

There were thunderous cheers on the six "Shihuang" class battleships. Li Kezhi and Yu Yang on the "Da Zhou" battleship that was approaching in the distance couldn't help being excited, but kept urging the battleship to speed up—— We must rush to the battlefield before the "Emperor Qin" and the others wiped out all the British battleships!

Because according to the plan formulated by Li Kezhi and Yu Yang, Guo Xiaobao's fleet is just a decoy, and the role of the six "Shihuang" class ships is only to use their speed to fight with the enemy-their 6mm main guns seem to be insufficient. It is the two super battleships with 330 mm main guns, the "Da Zhou" and "Da Qin" that can really "fix it"!

But I didn't expect that the British 2.5-ton battleship seemed a bit overwhelming!
Are those 2.5-ton ships of the British built in the famous Hindustan shipyard?

No way, you have to hurry up to "cut the bow", otherwise you won't get anything if you are late!

The joy of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty is of course the pain of the officers and soldiers of the British Navy!From the beginning of today's battle to the present, they have suffered heavy losses!5 aircraft-carrying armored cruisers have disappeared, 3 Sovereign-class ships have been sunk, and now an Indian Emperor-class ship has been added!As for the opponent's losses, it seems that there are only two or three burning "beggar's battleships".

William Baga fell into an ice cave, and Major General Jervis next to him had tears in his eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Admiral, what should we do now?"

"What should we do?" William Baga gritted his teeth. "Of course it's the charge. We also have the William IV, the Queen Elizabeth, and 11 Victory and 11 Indomitable. We'll fight them!"
