Bismarck

Just now, Lütjens gave a new order.

"...Bismarck, now each combat unit between us and the British has its own mission. If any one of them is broken, the whole line will fail...The bombardment of the British battleship fleet is supported by Warspite! As long as we drive away the British battleship fleet, we can spare our hands to reinforce Zeppelin or Tirpitz!"

"I believe Bonte, Lindemann, and even Cunningham know this truth, so I order: Battleship Bismarck, concentrate your firepower and attack Warspite with all your strength!"

"I understand!" Bismarck gritted his teeth.

In fact, Bismarck also understood this without the captain's words. The British relied on the Warspite to maintain their combat effectiveness. As long as the Warspite was destroyed, the other battleships would no longer be dangerous.

So, the goal is to be war-weary!

----------

Two of the main turrets were crippled in succession, leaving only four main guns to continue firing. Now her firepower is also much less than before.

However, the War-weary B main turret had also suffered a shocking wound and was not much better off than herself. Thick smoke and rotten iron appeared on her originally neat hull.

"Warspite! Don't think you're the only one who can attack the main turret!" Bismarck gritted his teeth.

"Aren't you the flagship? If you're finished, let's see what you can do!"

Through the armored steel plate of the cabin, Bismarck stared at the direction of War-weariness, more than 20 kilometers away!

"Range change rate 570, target speed 24, distance 22000..."

A round of artillery shells with bright yellow tracers hit the Warspite 22 kilometers away!

Of course, it would not be so easy to hit at such a long distance. Four water jets appeared next to Warspite. Even though it was an older ship, under the control of the ship girl, her evasive ability was also very strong.

However, God still favored Bismarck. After two or three rounds, another round of four shells was fired. Just forty seconds later, there was a violent explosion at the position of the War-weary No. 3 rear main turret!

The heavy armor was penetrated, and the armor-piercing bullets drilled into the War-weary's body and exploded. The turret would not move on the spot, and thick smoke billowed up.

"Hit!"

However, it was too early for Bismarck to be happy, because War-weariness was not fighting alone!

Before the cheers faded away, more than ten tall water columns sandwiched Bismarck in the middle!

The flagship is observing, and the two companion ships are shooting in a Z-shaped formation!

The bombardment of the Queen Elizabeth and the Warrior, under the command of Warspite, was also quite troublesome! And as the distance got closer, the bombardment hit rate seemed to become more accurate...

Bismarck had to concentrate all his energy on dealing with the Warspite, and there was no way he could suppress these two companion ships at the same time!

In addition, the Z-shaped cross-fire is an artillery attack tactic that takes into account the possible avoidance positions, plus the extremely accurate range finding and aiming accuracy of the war-weary! There is no need to consider the artillery error at all!

The War-weary army over there quickly recovered and was also firing desperately at themselves with its six main guns!

Even if he was also badly injured!

Amid the roars of twenty 381mm main guns, the Bismarck, which had its rudder damaged and was trying to avoid descending, was then enveloped by the tall but deadly water column from the ensuing artillery barrage!

And he was shot repeatedly...

"Report! The deck was hit! It caused a fire! We are putting out the fire!"

"Report! The mainmast was hit! The radar antenna was blown away! The main director was damaged!"

"Report! The main armor belt was hit! The main armor was damaged! A small area of ​​the hull was flooded!"

"Report!…"

A series of emergency situations were transmitted to the command center on the bridge like a death warrant, and even just hearing them was terrifying.

……

As the distance got closer, the firepower of Warspite and her two sister ships became more and more threatening! The damage was getting more serious each time!

Especially war-weariness!

It's just disgusting...

Every battle with KanColle is like a decisive battle.

-------

Another round of green tracer bullets came over him!

The accuracy of the ship's artillery fire is terrifying! Even if there are only four rounds, the coverage is enough to be fatal!

"Bombardment! Danger! Hold on tight, everyone!"

Bismarck was horrified! In this round of bombardment, there were actually two shells that were fatal!

Especially the one at the front, Bismarck's experience and intuition instantly determined that this shot was actually aimed directly at his main gun ammunition depot! !

The armored deck of the main gun ammunition depot, who dares to take this risk!

Although the outer layer is covered by 145mm upper armor in advance and there is a -mm horizontal deck at the rear, the location is too important! There can't be any possibility of accidents!

Bismarck had no choice but to tilt the hull slightly. The left tilt of the hull caused the angle of the shell to decrease, and it bounced off the 160mm armored deck!

Although the shell exploded at the connection between the port side upper deck and the main armor, causing serious damage to Bismarck, it managed to avoid the shell that would have hit the connection!

But there was nothing we could do about the other shell...

A loud noise...

"Report! An underwater missile hit! The No. 3 engine room is flooded! The right propeller and main shaft are damaged! Cannot continue to work, emergency rudder is needed to adjust the speed of the propeller on the other side! The current speed is 20 knots!"

In front of Lütjens, Bismarck, who was originally standing, suddenly collapsed to the ground.

Even the projection itself was blurry for a moment, and her voice suddenly became unclear.

Fortunately, it recovered quickly, just like a flash of snow on an old black-and-white TV, which appeared and disappeared quickly.

It would be really fun if Bismarck was out of focus for a long time on the bridge.

This shot caused serious injury!

My heart suddenly tightened!

Lütjens quickly supported the large battleship beside him!

Fortunately, although Bismarck was seriously injured, he had not lost his fighting ability. Soon, the image of the projected blonde girl stabilized again, but she looked very weak...

Lütjens' heart trembled violently.

Although he was a naval admiral with great military achievements, he was better at strategizing! And when the battleship girls were fighting desperately, he couldn't help at all!

Everything depends on Bismarck himself.

Soon, the damage control team also sent a similar report!

"What is the distance between us and the British now?" The captain asked without turning his head after listening to the report from the damage control team.

With one hand, he was also supporting Bismarck's already weak body leaning on the chair...

Although the crew members didn't know why their secretary suddenly seemed to have lost all his strength, he was clearly not injured.

"Twenty-one... kilometers..."

A weak female voice came softly and feebly from the mouth of Bismarck, who was sitting on a chair next to Lütjens and leaning against the captain's chest in a general's uniform.

"Are you OK."

Lütjens couldn't help but turn his head to look at Bismarck nervously. He didn't know when this Bismarck had become the most important part of his life.

Even though this is a battlefield, even though all the dignity is lost, it doesn't seem to be a big deal...

"Fortunately, nothing happened." Bismarck was obviously injured beyond recognition, but he didn't want to make his captain worry too much, so he raised his head slightly weakly and looked at the captain. Although even his eyelids seemed to have no strength, his big eyes still blinked.

It was obvious that Lütjens didn't even have the strength to blink.

"Give me an order! Have the destroyers Blackshirt and Pilot rush forward and launch a torpedo attack on Warspite! Immediately!" Lütjens turned around and shouted. A communications staff officer saw that something was wrong and immediately ran to the telegraph room...

"Be careful of the shelling."

Before he finished speaking, the hull tilted slightly again. Then there was an extremely piercing sound, and a shell that was supposed to hit the front of the No. 2 front main gun turret, due to the Bismarck's tilt, rubbed the top of the turret and bounced off.

But… almost at the same time, there was another loud bang in the middle of the ship! The catapult of the seaplane was hit!

Bismarck rushed to his own body and was shocked, but he felt that the captain standing next to him was unable to stand steadily and wanted to help her...

Bismarck's eyes were a little wet...

"The deck was hit! The armored deck was damaged! The left cable channel under the armored deck was damaged and short-circuited, causing the battleship to catch fire! The right cable channel has been automatically switched!"

The damage report was immediately reported to the captain by Bismarck.

"Damage control team! Go put out the fire!" The captain, who had managed to stand firmly amid the shock of the explosion, turned around and shouted loudly while holding Bismarck in his arms to prevent her from collapsing.

Although he knew that this battleship was Bismarck's real body, and that Bismarck's projection could not possibly be "broken" or "sprained" on its own body, Lütjens had no choice but to take good care of her...

"Bismarck! Hold on!!"

Zeppelin's voice came from the WIFI. She was now flying a fighter plane with bombs hanging on it. She pushed the throttle to the maximum as if for the life of the man, and rushed towards the direction of the British battleship fleet!

"Sister! You must hold on! I even drew a picture for you, but you haven't seen it yet!" Tirpitz also shouted, very anxiously, but now she had to use very limited high-explosive bombs to suppress the British Army and support the African Corps, and there was no way for them to come to reinforce her.

Although now, the corners of my eyes twitch a little...

But Bismarck also knew that the hamster was also concerned.

Bismarck turned his head, and in his eyes, which were originally like gemstones, there was anger! And aiming! And...

There is also the war-weary figure who is firmly locked in!

"...Zhan Yan, I know that you are no less injured than me...Then...take another round from me!"

The last four remaining main guns raised their barrels high and once again spewed out tongues of fire towards the British Mediterranean Fleet's flagship battleship HMS Warspite, which was 20,000 meters away!

In the distance, the Warspite exploded with another fireball between four dense water columns!

Bismarck saw clearly that the bridge of the Warspite had been hit! Her weak voice was still reporting the attack situation beside the captain:

"…Hit! One shot from the bridge… Hmm? Something seems to have happened to Warspite? Seems to have slowed down all of a sudden? And is it turning…? Wait! Let me see where it was hit!"

Looking at the result of this attack not long after, it was War-weary who retreated first?

The seriously injured Bismarck suddenly seemed to be in good spirits again! The alert Bismarck quickly focused some of his perception and conducted a more careful exploration of the Warspite. Soon, Bismarck saw the Warspite's injuries in his perception:

"Captain! I saw it! I shot through the underwater part below the rear main turret at the stern of the Warspite! She has begun to tilt and turn! The main shaft on the left seems to have a problem! Wait... It seems that all her rear main guns have been shut down!"

"Sister, you did a great job!" Grape, who is usually heartless, cheered loudly.

"Well done! Kill this old witch!" There was a hint of gnashing teeth in Qiberin's voice.

Are you still thinking about the twenty pilots on the Zeppelin who died tragically in the Battle of Crete?

Seeing that the great enemy War-weary was beaten to death by him, Bismarck, who was leaning on Lütjens's arms, danced with joy. If he was not also seriously injured and weak, Bismarck would have just wanted to jump up and shout a few times!

but……

"boom!"

The bow was hit just below the waterline!

Too much joy brings sorrow... It hurts...

Fortunately, the fleet's remaining oil capacity is less than 45%. The bow oil tank is now empty and is only filled with ballast seawater. Apart from a large hole, there is no other loss.

However, the speed inevitably dropped to 16 knots, and the hull began to tilt forward...

Bismarck didn't even have to look back to know who was attacking him!

Queen Elizabeth! Warrior!

The Warspite has already begun to stagger and turn. Now, apart from these two British ships, who else can go? !

"Let me start with you! Queen Elizabeth!" Bismarck gritted his teeth and smashed the middle deck of the Queen so hard that parts flew all over the sky accompanied by black smoke and flames!

The current distance is only 20 kilometers! This is already a distance that an ordinary gun can reach with relatively high artillery accuracy!

The British Royal Navy dominated the oceans for three hundred years. Who dares to say that the quality of training of their gunners is poor?!

Even though the German Navy has always believed that its artillery accuracy is unrivaled in the world, it would not dare to say this!

Although Bismarck defeated Warspite, he was also seriously injured!

Now there are still two battleships - although the Warrior had one of its main turrets knocked off by itself at the beginning! However, fourteen 381mm guns, at this distance, are enough to threaten Bismarck!

Bismarck still remembered that in the Icelandic naval battle a year and a half ago, the two battleships Rodney and Nelson, relying on aerial observation shooting and Z-shaped clamp tactics, not only hit him at a distance of 27000 meters, but also almost forced him into a desperate situation!

But now... I have been hit by twenty shells! As for the other two ships, except for the Warrior, which had a main turret scrapped, the damage was not very serious...

Moreover, his current speed was only sixteen knots, while the speed of those two ships was still twenty-three or twenty-four knots!
