Bismarck

"Yes!"

Bismarck, who was beside Lütjens, didn't even have time to look back. He responded loudly while controlling his own artillery fire. Soon, the battleship Bismarck used light signals to notify the front of the ship. The response of the front ship was also transmitted quickly:

"Got it... Tsk, the opponent's war-weariness is so annoying!"

Grape spat in the WIFI in annoyance - in the WIFI space, War-weary turned into a gossipy woman, deliberately making sarcastic remarks in various ways to deliberately annoy the cat and mouse sisters!

"Don't be impulsive! She just wants you to lose your cool!" Bismarck, who was also trying to hold back, advised Tizi. However, looking at the smug look on the other side, he gritted his teeth and made a sound...

In the past, I always saw people saying that the port side barrage was too thin, but now... it’s the starboard side barrage that’s too thin...!

Because of the need to consider continuous combat, the two German battleships now have to save ammunition for shelling under Lütjens' order. The way to save ammunition for shelling, according to the German Navy's gunnery specifications, is to use half-salvo to determine the accuracy, and only use full-strength shelling when you are sure to use effective fire to ensure the overall shelling hit rate.

But...the Allied forces opposite them don't need to save artillery shells!

Moreover, the enemy on the opposite side has five battleships!

Among the five battleships, except for the Warspite which was attacked by Bismarck and Tirpitz, the remaining four were not attacked. They could sail at a constant speed and in a straight line, which was the most conducive to aiming, and fire at full speed without any hassle. A battleship that fired at full speed without having to consider evasion was very scary! What's more, there were four battleships plus the Warspite which acted as a calibration observer! !

Under the command of War-weariness, forty main guns were aimed at the Bismarck battleship! The sailors of the British and American armies used all their strength to operate the overloaded loading machinery to desperately load the shells, and then took turns to fire at full force! Under this density of bombardment, on average, a round of shells was fired from the barrel every ten seconds, and then dragged colorful tracers and smashed directly around the battleships Bismarck and Tirpitz!

The overwhelming momentum, like the doomsday judgment, was enough to drive the timid crazy! Not to mention, the density of the bombardment, which was like a prodigal son not taking the shells seriously, was not easy to avoid!

Even though Tirpitz had joined in and was attacking Warspite with his sister, they were completely unable to offset the density of the firepower from the five opposing battleships.

After all, the Bismarck is a 50,000-ton battleship, and it's too heavy! Even though the Bismarck has been evading in a small area, which allows the battleship to turn the rudder without having to wait two minutes to change course like it normally would when sailing in a straight line, but...

After all, it's five battleships against one.

The Allied artillery fire was too intense.

Even though Bismarck used all his skills to dodge, he was still inevitably hit...

"You can't avoid this round! Everyone! Hold on tight..."

As Bismarck spoke, the hull suddenly shook violently to the left - and in the next second, even before her words had completely fallen and people hadn't recovered from the sudden shake, a loud bang came with a violent vibration, transmitted to the entire battleship's bulkheads, equipment and people's feet!

The people who didn't have time to react were immediately hit, and for a moment, everyone on the warship fell to the ground! !

"Bismarck, you...how do you see our battleships now?!"

The shock of the shelling had just passed, and before Lütjens had time to stand firmly, he shouted hysterically - he even almost let it slip in public!

The bombardment of 160 kilometers, the landing angle is close to degrees! And the high-throw shells fell straight down. Even though Bismarck's horizontal dome armor had been completely thickened to mm after the Icelandic naval battle, plus mm of upper armor, there was absolutely no guarantee that it could withstand it!

And...right now, there are five battleships on the opposite side, including Warspite and three BIG SEVENs!

Bismarck can't afford to be hurt now!

The Battle of El Alamein, where she almost died, and when she returned from the sea, she found her home had been bombed to pieces, and she was even nearly assassinated by the British who sent a poisoned letter to her...

God knows, Lütjens can no longer withstand such shock.

But fortunately, God bless, Bismarck is not seriously injured this time...

"...Captain, I'm fine. I just tilted the ship and used the main armor belt to hold it up... Tsk..."

She replied to her captain, telling him that she was fine. But Bismarck still covered her waist, gritted her teeth, and stared at the war-weary man opposite her with a stern look...

This was the third shell she had been hit by so far. One shell was fired at her by the main turret leaning against the tilted hull. Just now, she leaned against the tilted hull and caught one shell with the main armor. Another shell was fired at her bridge by the 406mm main gun of the Maryland battleship behind her not long ago. Fortunately, it was an armor-piercing shell with a delayed fuse, which hit the unarmored part of the bridge and penetrated it. But even so, a 105mm anti-aircraft gun on the other side was directly blown into the sea by the shell! And there is still a big hole on the bridge that runs left and right! It looks shocking!

In the face of his and Tirpitz's counterattacks, the old woman on the other side even twisted her mood, as if she was mocking his bombardment...

Even in the WiFi space, there have been voices of “elegant” sarcasm:

"…You missed. Why can't you hit it? Bismarck, have you degenerated?"

"Damn old witch! Don't be so proud!"

Before Bismarck opened her mouth, Tizi, who heard the old witch War-weary scolding her sister, cursed back with gnashed teeth, and her eight main guns fired at War-weary's position one after another with gnashing teeth! When Bismarck saw Tizi firing, she also estimated the possible evasive position of War-weary, then staggered her own gun barrel, pinched the time when the old witch turned around, and fired two and a half rounds of salvos at the possible evasive position.

-----

"Tsk... I told you guys you can't hit me..."

For nearly a hundred seconds, the old witch who was so angry that she wanted to make people angry seemed to be deliberately angry. In the WIFI, the hand holding the skirt hem shook slightly, as if it was the etiquette of a lady dancing, but with a look of mocking contempt! At the same time, the war-weary body also turned the rudder gracefully, and saw the gap where the Bismarck's artillery fell. She actually brushed the trajectory of the Bismarck's artillery and drilled directly through the water column splashed by the artillery - although Bismarck determined the position accurately in this round of barrage, there were only four shells at each position in the half-salvo, and the barrage was too thin!

"Damn old witch! Take my shot too!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity of Warspite's evasion, the battleship Tirpitz, which had spotted the correct position, gritted its teeth and fired its eight main guns! However... this round of shelling only broke Warspite's rear mast, and Warspite's return fire hit a position not far from the rear main turret of the Bismarck - and right below this position was the main ammunition depot of the rear main gun!

At a distance of 33 kilometers, the vertical penetration of a 15-inch shell fired in a high-charge state and at a drop angle of 200 degrees is a full millimeters!

虽然俾斯麦在这里的水平装甲防御是80毫米上甲板和（加强过的）160毫米穹甲，而附近炮塔座圈的装甲厚度也从原本的320-220毫米加强到了380-280毫米，并且设计的时候就认为80毫米的上甲板足以剥离战列舰穿甲弹的硬被帽。可是……英式穿甲弹厌战的穿甲弹里面，还有整整27公斤的装药呢！

At the moment of being hit, Bismarck felt very close to death! And just 0.1 seconds later, accompanied by a loud bang, the 160mm dome armor above the ammunition depot exploded violently, and the Bismarck battleship suddenly froze! The hull shook!

At the same time, the little hamster on the battleship Tirpitz also saw with horror that a ball of fire that threw out all kinds of steel and human body parts, with thick smoke, burst out violently from behind the shelling hole next to his sister's rear main gun...

"elder sister!"

As the fireball and smoke erupted, there was Lindemann's horrified eyes and the little hamster's heart-wrenching cry...

Chapter 622: Sea Valve

“Sister! Sister!!”

Ti Zi screamed heartbreakingly - at the moment the shell exploded, right in front of her eyes, her sister's shadow covered her chest directly, her body swayed, and then she tilted her body and fell down!

If the main turret is equivalent to the arm of the ship girl, the engine room is equivalent to the thigh, the main shaft is the calf, the propeller is the foot, the knee is the rudder, and the bridge is the face, then the main gun ammunition depot is the heart of the ship girl!

A ball of fire burst out from the rear main gun ammunition depot of the Bismarck battleship, with thick smoke and blazing flames! But before Tirpitz could recover from the heart-wrenching pain, another voice on the WIFI that was originally quite graceful, but now full of viciousness and harshness, reached Tirpitz's ears:

"Bismarck, what happened to you? Did I blow up the ammunition depot? I'm telling you, how did the mighty Bismarck battleship become like this?"

"You bastard! I'm going to kill you!"

Under the ridicule of Warweary and the grief of losing his sister, Tirpitz just exploded!

The runaway Grape rushed up from the gun control panel, pushed the stunned Lindemann aside, and then sat on the periscope, staring at the direction of the war-weary opponent! At the same time, all the officers and soldiers on the battleship Tirpitz suddenly felt as if the battleship had suddenly become furious. All the equipment was turned to maximum power and began to move desperately!

The guns fired at Sui Mian one after another, with an average of one round every thirty seconds! She didn't even listen to Lindeman's request to calm her down. At this moment, in order to avenge her sister, she had forgotten all about saving ammunition and executing tactics.

but……

Although anger can sometimes make people stronger, more often than not, the price of this "strengthening" is that people lose their reason...

Originally, the staggered bombardment of the two warships could not guarantee a hit rate. Now, relying only on Tizi, she had given up the original precise aiming mode and even gave up dodging. She was just blindly outputting firepower under the control of anger. How could this kind of attack possibly hit the experienced and cunning War-weary?

However, Grape, who was already overwhelmed by the grief of her sister's death and the instigation of the "culprit" War-weariness, was so angry that she could not even listen to Lindman's persuasion...

Under Warspite's taunting, Tizi became more and more furious, and the more furious she became, the less likely she would hit! Moreover, she gave up even trying to dodge, and was immediately hit by several rounds of cross-fire from the opponent's Warspite - if the fighting distance was not too far, I'm afraid she would have been hit directly!

Moreover... with her current reckless bombardment, the ammunition reserves will not last long!

"You can't hit me. You can't hit me like this." Yan Zhan said calmly and even gave her a good suggestion, "I say, do you want to get closer to me?"

Yan Zhan had a ladylike tone of mockery on her face, and even threw a wink at the hamster who was already furious. This attitude of "I am more mature and sexy than you" almost made the boiler of the grapes explode...

"Damn old witch!" Tizi shouted out in anger, and her body shook the rudder and began to turn towards the direction of the British fleet!

But…if the distance is shortened, although it seems that the hit rate will increase, the probability of being hit will also increase! Especially the angry Grape, now he doesn't even do any evasive actions…

Seeing that the girl was about to be fooled, Linderman hurriedly grabbed his hamster's shoulders and shook it: "Grape! Wake up!"

"Lindeman, let me go! I want to avenge my sister!!"

Furious, Tizi threw Lindemann to the side with a fierce slap! Her eight 380mm main guns were frantically loaded with a new round of ammunition under her will, and they turned and fired back fiercely at the war-weary enemy on the opposite side!

At a distance of 33 kilometers, although Tizi had already increased the firing rate of the artillery to the maximum - firing a round of shells every 30 seconds at this elevation angle was very difficult - the flight time of the shells was still too long! Warspite only needed to slightly adjust the bow to avoid Tirpitz's angry but useless artillery fire!

Even more, the shells she fired back at Tizi hit Tizi, who had lost his mind due to anger and was not careful to dodge!

A 381mm armor-piercing shell came from the right side of the Tirpitz's bridge and hit the left middle 150mm secondary turret which was slightly tilted due to the turn! The sudden explosion that blew away the secondary turret caused a raging fire, and even the 105mm anti-aircraft gun mount next to it had to be abandoned due to damage and fire!

“Damn…it hurts…”

Tirpitz, who was holding his waist and crying in pain, heard the war-weary taunting in his ears:

"Eh? It seems like your skills are not good enough, Tirpitz! You still can't hit the target even now?"

War-weary was not usually like this, but when she thought of Hood, she felt a surge of resentment in her heart that she had no place to vent.

"Damn old witch!"

Ti Zi gritted his teeth in anger and continued to fire back, but none of his shots hit the target. He was completely helpless against Yan Zhan!

only……

There was a loud bang! A certain unscrupulous old woman who had just passed by Tirpitz's artillery fire and was mocking and provoking the little hamster who was about to lose his mind, suddenly burst into flames on the rear main turret that was firing at Tirpitz!

At the same time, a voice came from the WIFI that was very familiar to both War-weary and Grape, and it was clearly suppressing anger:

"War-weary, it's time for you to say enough!"

Warspite and Tizi couldn't help but turn their heads. What they saw was Bismarck, who was covering her chest with one hand and shaking a little, but had a stern face and flying golden hair, and was also firing continuously at the battleship Warspite - although her C (Caesar) turret seemed to have stopped firing, the remaining three turrets, like the battleship Tirpitz, were also firing at an average rate of one round every half a minute - and their firing was intertwined with the Tirpitz's!

If the half-salvo fired to save bullets was not difficult to dodge, the barrage of bullets from the two German battleships that were firing at full force in anger would be difficult to deal with!

"This... Bismarck?!"

Looking at the Bismarck that suddenly started firing again, and then looking at the rear main turret that had been blown crooked and on fire... even the war-weary veteran felt a few drops of cold sweat on his forehead...

What made War-weary even more worried was that the large Persian cat on the opposite side seemed to have completely exploded...

"Warspite... don't think you'll be alright just because you shot through my ammunition depot." Bismarck's eyes were red as he gritted his teeth. If the propellant bags in the ammunition depot of the German warships were not protected by special fireproof and explosion-proof steel cylinders that could withstand the fire for a certain period of time, and if his captain immediately ordered the sailors to open the sea valve to control the fire when he fainted, he might have really exploded...

And what did she see when she just responded? It was War-weary bullying her sister in every possible way!

You really think you have a good temper and can beat yourself and bully your own sister. Don’t you know what tit-for-tat means?

Compared to War-weary's gritting her teeth and holding on, the little hamster, who was originally so angry and injured that she was almost dead, and her face was red and her neck was thick, had already smiled again with tears in her eyes when she saw her sister retaliate with a sharp shot and directly destroyed one of War-weary's rear main turrets:

"Sister!? Sister is fine!! That's great! That's great!!"

The happy little hamster grabbed Lindeman, who was already bruised and swollen but still trying to persuade her, and jumped up and down, crying and laughing. Such a contrast made Lindeman, who was caught by her, look confused.

Bismarck also saw this scene... In fact, the Persian cat seemed to see the scene of his captain suddenly rushing up to catch him when his ammunition depot was hit, and then immediately shouting to the damage control team to release water to flood the ammunition depot...

Lindemann was really nice to Grapes.

"I'm fine... Tizi, come back... By the way, remember to apologize to Lindemann." Looking at Tirpitz, who was almost overwhelmed by Warspite's provocation because of him and even caused Lindemann to fall, and whose secondary turret was blown away by Warspite and the smoke was billowing, Bismarck's eyes were a little distressed, but more of it was anger - anger because his sister was provoked and bullied like that!

However, discipline on the battlefield still needs to be maintained. Tirpitz's actions just now completely disregarded discipline, and she could not help but turn a blind eye.

"Do you know what mistake you made just now?" Bismarck said to her coldly. Although his breath was weak, his aura was even stronger.

"Lindman is the captain, why don't you listen to his preparations?!"

"I...you..." Ti Zi shivered.

"Even if I sink, you still have to listen to him!" She said calmly, "Go back and be prepared. I'm going to take care of you."

Tizi suddenly wondered if his sister had turned evil.

"Yeah..." She nodded silently, and then quickly said, "I'll fight with you - but..." She wiped her tears and looked at Lindman beside her, who was still a little confused, but knew that she had regained her sanity and was still grinning but smiling. The trouble-averse little hamster lowered his head a little embarrassedly and pointed his fingers: "...Sister, can we apologize... later..."

Considering that they were now on the battlefield, Bismarck didn't say anything else.

Seeing his sister knowing that she had done something wrong but couldn't bring herself to do it, Bismarck could only give the little hamster a helpless look and said, "We can talk about it later, but you have to follow my instructions."

"Ah..." The hamster uttered weakly and raised his head slightly as if he wanted to say something, but when he saw the sister in front of him glaring and snorting, the little hamster who saw the cat instantly lowered his head obediently, nodded, and kept silent.

Looking at this little hamster who only has time to act crazy and never slacks off, and who pretends to be good and cute when he knows he is in trouble, Bismarck, who holds his forehead, feels a little stressed...

However, looking at the Allied fleet that was still fighting back, Bismarck had no time to talk about grapes - now, there was one more thing to do.

Warspite is a very cunning opponent, and he just scored a hit. Now, we can't let this opportunity slip away!

After the bombardment hits the target, it is necessary to switch directly to full-speed firing and try to strike while the iron is hot to inflict heavy damage on the opponent. This is the most basic common sense in warship bombardment.

Not to mention, this war-weary guy actually dared to bully his own sister like this!

Although Bismarck was not as impulsive as Tirpitz, and her temper and personality were usually well-behaved and quiet, and she even wanted to be a lady... But this did not mean that she would not be angry and retaliate! ! Looking at Bismarck's eyes, which were obviously a little fierce, and then looking at her rear main turret that had been blown crooked and on fire... Even though she was tired of war, she felt a few drops of cold sweat on her forehead.

Do you really think that the nickname of Bismarck, the one that counterattacks deep sea bombardment, is for nothing?

Amid the fire from the angry Bismarck and Tirpitz battleships, even though Warspite could see the trajectory of the fire clearly, given the tonnage and inertia of her battleship, it suddenly became difficult for her to dodge.

Although Bismarck's No. 3 rear main gun ammunition depot was filled with water, it was obvious that the ship's draft was tilted a little, and even the speed seemed to have decreased slightly - but Warspite knew very well that it was only temporary.

War-weary knew exactly where she hit Bismarck. After penetrating the 381mm upper deck, the British armor-piercing explosive shells that had their wind cap and cap smashed could not completely penetrate the reinforced armor. They only broke the armored deck of Bismarck with the powerful explosive force, and then ignited part of the propellant and caused a fire. This level of damage, even in the Battle of Jutland years ago, was very likely to avoid the explosion of German battlecruisers at that time! Even among the battlecruisers of the Second Empire at that time, many were hit by her main guns!

Looking at Bismarck in front of him, the shadows of several old opponents in that bloody battle seemed to emerge in his war-weary eyes - Frederick the Great, Moltke, von der Tann, Seydlitz...

On the other side, the cat and mouse sisters seem to have reached a consensus on tactics?
