The Rise of the Empire

"Fuck, what's the situation?" A British destroyer just avoided the searchlight dropped by the German bomber, and then saw two bright spots rise quickly and then slowly fall. The two 105mm flares fired by the Germans once again exposed this poor ship. The position of the British destroyer, in the next moment, the fierce firepower of the two German large destroyers instantly enveloped the poor destroyer, and clouds of flames and thick smoke continued to gush out from the British battleship, from firing to destroying the battleship. It took only 5 minutes to be paralyzed on the sea. If it hadn't been for the battle, the British destroyer had thrown away all torpedoes and depth charges, I am afraid it would have been destroyed long ago!

Relying on the advantage of the enemy’s secrets, Major Franco’s fleet successfully stolen at least 3 destroyers and patrol boats from the opponent, and so far, most of the 8 destroyers assigned to his 2 detachments have not been exposed. However, The regular destroyer squadron of the British Navy is still at some level. After the initial decline, they finally completed the group and bit the Franco fleet!

Six British destroyers lined up in a standard battle line and appeared on the left side of the Franco fleet. At this time, the two sides were sailing parallel to the northeast at a speed of more than 28 knots. The distance between each other was carefully calculated, and the searchlights on both sides continued. Sweeping on the sea, the light artillery on the ship also continuously fired flares to determine the opponent's position. Carefully approach each other, and then after approaching a certain distance, the guns suddenly burst!

The 10 destroyers with a tonnage of more than 1,500 tons on both sides fought frantically at a distance of about 1200 meters, and more than 40 artillery pieces of more than 100mm were spraying deadly bullets at the opponent. In the distance, the warships of both sides were densely packed. The water column and flames are looming, and there are continuous bursts of explosions from the battleship. For the destroyer that lacks protection, both sides are almost armed with sharp blades and are defenseless!

"Each shot is a test of life and death for us. The only protection on our destroyer is the thin hull. A single 4-inch high-explosive bomb can blow up a whole piece of steel. A steam pipe of my destroyer S115 was shattered by shrapnel, and high-temperature and high-pressure water vapor of hundreds of degrees was ejected from the breach, and the arson effect of the British picric acid explosive was also very good. The surrounding cabins instantly It became hell. We had to put on asbestos fire-resistant suits and gas masks for rescue. Even so, we lost 3 comrades forever. Every shell hit the battleship, like a heavy hammer. With slight shaking, many cabins were destroyed. The sea water, leaking steam, flames, and smoke made this warship a hell. We don’t know when this disaster will end!” A German Navy chief engineer recalled that time. Scenes.

　　 The intensive shooting of the British made the German destroyers very uncomfortable, but how can the gunboat-type destroyers specially improved by the Germans look good? If the British shelling is just to make the Germans feel pressured, then the 4 150MM artillery and 2 105MM artillery equipped on the German S113 destroyer are all right!

　　 Boom! A series of 6-inch shells landed on the deck of the British destroyer Cormorant. The shells weighing more than 50 kilograms easily sold off the three chimneys of this poor destroyer. With the forward movement of the falling point, the front The cockpit of the Ministry was also flattened, leaving only a mass of twisted metal to tell people what was there. As for the deck, it was full of thousands of shrapnel and bullet holes. The fragile baffle could not stop the raid of shrapnel at all. The British gunner operating the 4 102MM deck guns had long been integrated with the artillery fragments and no longer distinguished each other. The fire and the exhaust gas from the boiler poured back into the power cabin. In just a few minutes, most of the boiler went out instantly, and then the warship began to leave the team under the push of the sea, like a lonely ghost.

　　 And the destroyer Lynx next to it is even more unlucky! This guy was accidentally hit by two German destroyers. In less than 3 minutes, at least 2 tons of shells hit the bow of this poor destroyer, so he was hit by at least 1 The bomb smashed the bow of the ship! You know, in order to ensure the seaworthiness of destroyers, the bow and bow are generally one level higher than the main deck! However, this ten-meter-long bow tower and the bow were completely flattened abruptly! This shows how fierce the German gunfire!

　　 "The hull power compartment is on fire!"

　　 "Pump water to extinguish the fire immediately!"

　　 "The temperature near the ammunition bay is too high!"

　　 "Fill the ammunition compartment with water!"

　　 "Serious bow in front of the hull!"

　　 "Open the stern compartment of the hull, and the water is balanced!" In the end, the poor Lynx was abruptly overturned due to too much water. Less than a quarter of an hour after the war, only one mast of this British destroyer was still on the sea!

After the initial **** battle, the British destroyers were downsizing, and even Major Franco didn’t have to use the torpedo boats attached to him~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The British destroyer squadron could not hold it anymore, and the 6-on-4 was still in force. One face was scrapped and 2 ships were abandoned, and the remaining 4V4 is almost no suspense! As long as Major Franco is given another quarter of an hour, he is absolutely sure to abolish all these British destroyers! Unfortunately, the British light cruiser detachment arrived!

　　 "We caught the German light cruiser unit!" A quarter of an hour ago, Brigadier General Sinclair received a telegram from the destroyer unit! Yes, you read that right, it is the light cruiser unit. As Earl Spey expected, the British did regard Major Franco's large destroyer unit as a light cruiser unit!

　　 No way, the British have never seen a destroyer with 4 150mm guns and 2 105mm guns on the side! What kind of firepower did the British first generation of Linxian destroyers with armor belts? However, with two 6-inch runners and six 102MM guns, it is not as good as the improved S113 large destroyer in terms of unilateral output. (Of course S113 will not be able to beat Lin Xian, after all, people have armor belts, you are running naked... Besides, don’t tell me that Lin Xian is a British light cruiser before the 2nd World War. That is also called Lin Xian, with the same name. That's it.) And because it was night, even if they were very close, the British still had problems with the assessment of the length of the German warships, so these four extremely powerful large destroyers were reported as light cruisers.

　　 After receiving the news, Brigadier General Sinclair rushed up with 4 light cruisers, among which Brigadier General Sinclair’s Ceres took the lead!
