Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III
Chapter 179
On the sea, the warships on both sides are like knights in heavy armor charging at high speed.
“Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
The three triple 50 caliber 380-mm guns of the battlecruiser “Lütsov” began to test fire and fire, and one heavy armor-piercing shell weighing nearly a ton smashed hard at the “invincible” battle cruiser.
The battlecruiser “Invincible” also launched a return fire, four twin 45 caliber 305-mm main guns opened heavy fire, and armor-piercing shells weighing several hundred kilograms smashed into the battlecruiser “Lütsov”.
It’s just that the generals and officers of the Royal Navy such as Rear Admiral Oliver and Colonel Henry are obviously not good-looking.
From the firing of the battlecruiser “Lütsov”, it can be seen that this is actually a super dreadnought with a 380-mm main gun. If the battlecruiser “Invincible” is hit, it will definitely not be able to bear it, even if it does not die, it will definitely be hit hard. As for whether the main guns of the battlecruiser “Invincible” will be able to penetrate the armor of the battlecruiser “Lutsov”, it is difficult to say.
If he had known that the opponent’s battleship was so powerful, maybe Rear Admiral Oliver would not have been a hero.
But alas, it’s too late to say that.
“Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
The warships on both sides began to fire fiercely, and one shell after another smashed into the opponent’s battleship, trying to hit the opponent’s battleship and destroy the other side’s battleship.
One shell after another smashed into the sea, splashing one column after another of the sky.
This makes the already choppy sea look more like it is boiling.
The light cruisers of both sides also fought each other. Even, the battle was very fierce.
The duel between light cruisers will not be more than 10,000 meters apart, like heavy cruisers. It often opens fire violently at a distance of several kilometers, and even comes within two or three kilometers. If you kill crazy, it is completely possible to get close to within a thousand meters.
Firing at this distance is equivalent to firing directly at the stomach of the enemy with artillery.
Plus the defense of light cruisers is a little weaker. Once hit by a shell, it often causes great damage and even ignites a raging fire. The casualties of the sailors on both sides of the battleship will be even more amazing.
Therefore, battles between small and medium-sized warships tend to be more tragic.
It’s just that it’s not as thrilling as the engagement between capital ships.
As a result, everyone’s eyes were focused on the engagement of the capital ships.
“Fire, aim a little, take out the Germanic battleship!”
On every Royal Navy warship, the officers were shouting loudly at the top of their throats.
In the case of obvious disadvantage, the Royal Navy hopes that their excellent qualities can play a greater role. And, hopefully, their luck could be better. That way, they might be able to win.
The quality of the sailors of the Royal Navy, that is notoriously good, is definitely the first in the world.
However, they soon discovered that the Germanic Imperial Navy was no worse than them.
Of course, in terms of the quality of sailors, the Germanic Imperial Navy may only be able to barely compare with the Royal Navy of the Empire. However, on the warships of the Germanic Imperial Navy, various observation equipment and even fire control systems will perform better.
The progress of science and technology has directly made up for the gap in personnel quality between the two sides.
This is also why no one in the Royal Navy can challenge in the era of sails, but by the time of steel giants, the Royal Navy has more and more opponents.
In the age of sailing, a qualified sailor is not so easy to cultivate. But now, it’s much easier.
Under such circumstances, it is naturally more difficult for the Royal Navy to maintain its hegemony.
“Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
One shell after another flew out of the chamber, and under the action of huge kinetic energy, they smashed fiercely into the opponent’s warship.
Like a spear in the hand of a heavily armored knight, it stabbed fiercely at the enemy.
The battlecruiser “Indomitable” was besieged by the heavy cruiser “Sagittarius” of the German Imperial Navy, the heavy cruiser “Triangular” and the heavy cruiser “Sky Arrow”.
Although, these heavy cruisers only had a displacement of more than ten thousand tons. In particular, the Sagittarius heavy cruisers were the first to be built with a displacement of only 10,800 tons, almost half the size of the Invincible-class battle cruisers. Subsequent construction of the ‘Constellation-class’ heavy cruisers with increasing displacement.
The heavy cruisers “Triangula” and “Sky Arrow” have a displacement of 12,000 tons.
If it is one-on-one, the heavy cruisers of the Germanic Imperial Navy may not be the opponents of the ‘Invincible-class’ battle cruisers of the Sun Never Fall.
However, now it’s three to one.
So, the situation is completely different.
The 210-mm guns of the three Constellation-class heavy cruisers opened heavy fire, and dense shells smashed into the battlecruiser Indomitable.
Shells rained down and exploded around the battlecruiser Indomitable, splashing one column after another.
This made the battlecruiser Indomitable as if it were in the middle of a storm.
Although the battlecruisers “Indomitable” had a greater displacement than the “Constellation-class” battle cruisers. The main gun caliber is also much larger. However, the defense of the battlecruiser Indomitable was very weak.
The thickness of the thickest part of the waterline armor was only 152 mm, the deck armor was 64 mm, the frontal armor of the turret was 178 mm, and the thickness of the commander’s tower armor was 254 mm.
Except for the Commander Tower’s armor, which was thicker enough to withstand the 210mm guns of the Constellation-class heavy cruisers, the armor in all other major parts was not thick enough to withstand the 210mm guns.
Once hit, the consequences will be unimaginable.
The battlecruiser ‘Indomitable’ was besieged by one enemy three, or rather three ‘Constellation-class’ heavy cruisers.
Although, the 305-mm main gun of the battlecruiser “Indomitable” is not something that the “Constellation-class” heavy cruiser can bear. But in the same way, the 210mm main gun of the Constellation-class heavy cruiser can also deal fatal damage to it.
It can be said that in this battle, none of the three ‘Invincible-class’ battle cruisers of the Royal Navy of the Sun Sets Empire is in an advantage. That one is in a disadvantageous situation.
If they want to turn around in this battle, they may really only be able to rely on luck.
