"I hope I hope this is not a cross …" To be continued.
The second gun Chapter 9 Gorgeous ending collapse new chapter (5)
"At 16: 45, Seidlitz bombarded the port side of the sixth round of majesty!"
"At 16: 45, Seidlitz showed damage to a target ship near the port side of the sixth round of right half-shelling!"
The main gun speed of Seidlitz Gate is not fast. Although the highest speed of SKL/5 35 mm naval gun can reach three rounds per minute, the gun department of Seidlitz has to patiently follow the tedious repetitive action of hitting, observing and correcting and hitting again.
It is precisely because of this that warships usually use turret semi-main shelling to make a round of crossing, so as to better observe the impact of artillery shells and better correct the impact of artillery shells. When warships cross guns and departments need enemy ships to get out of the cross-area, they should send as many shells as possible.
"At 16: 46, Seidlitz shelled the left half of the seventh round of majesty …"
At 16: 46, the lookout of Seidlitz was pleasantly surprised to find that an APC armor-piercing projectile hit the target ship accurately. Unfortunately, the shot Majesty did not ignite a raging fire or smoke, and the remaining three armor-piercing projectiles landed on the port side of the target ship.
The lookout who is responsible for reporting the impact of his own shells hesitated. He picked up the telescope and fine sweat instantly spread all over his forehead.
"Is the watchtower a long-range bomb or a short-range bomb or a cross-hit?"
Get across before the gunner is not strict with speed, but this does not mean that the gunner gives the lookout hesitation and waits until the watchtower reports that the gunner frowned and grabbed the microphone and swept over.
"Sir, it’s a cross hit!"
The lookout wiped his forehead, and the sweat was almost dry. The microphone in his hand made a low roar.
The gunner nodded, left the microphone and inhaled deeply. He turned to his subordinate and shouted, "Stop the firepower effect in turret semi-shelling!"
The gunner’s instructions were handed to the four main turrets through the telephone line, and the gunners finally smiled and greeted the gunner’s strength.
A heavy main shell with only a metal shell and an iron armor-piercing part is sent by a cart to the charging and loading room of the ammunition feeder, and a brass device filled with the charging is sent to the ammunition feeder at the rear end of the main shell, and then the loaded shell is sent to the gun bore of the main turret through the gun shaft.
When the gun lock indicator lights up, the squeal jǐng newspaper finally resounds through the patrol deck of the Seidlitz, holding the reporter of the Graudenz light patrol and just stopping, grinning at the commander of the Tower Flying Bridge, swearing and hiding in the chart room behind the bridge. The reporter is an old navy, and he clearly knows that he is afraid of the power of the main guns of the ship. He doesn’t want Qi Zhen to break his dirty.
Glowing with cold light, the gun tone contracted a little, and then it spewed out orange Se flame. A 35 mm armor-piercing projectile flew like a sword, and roared and smashed into the battleship poor majesty.
"the majesty is full of rudder on the right!"
Lieutenant Colonel Evans, the captain of the HMS Majestic, felt no more lucky than Lieutenant Colonel Macquarie when he wore his HMS Majestic. A 195-year-old battleship faced Germany’s powerful patrol. Evans had a hunch that the HMS Majestic was at the end.
Even though the old power system of the Majestic can’t make it quickly evade the effectiveness of the Seidlitz and shorten the crossing window, even if the right rudder is full and the engagement distance is shortened, the passive situation will be worse, but Evans can choose to quench his thirst by drinking poison.
Evans came and shouted the steering command at 16: 47. Six armor-piercing bullets were scattered on both sides of the hull of the Majesty. One of the near-missing bullets was five meters away from the hull of the Majesty. The sea water splashed all over the first and second decks of the Majesty, destroying a 76-mm cannon. The cannon profile shifted six or seven meters and smashed another 76-gun. Then it fell into the cabin of the first deck and the second deck. Several gunners were thrown out of the cannon profile and immediately involved in the formidable Wang Yang.
Two armor-piercing bullets became the second round of the Seidlitz. The first armor-piercing bullet grazed the waterline of the battleship Majestic and tore open the inch waterline armor. In the 1990 s, the peak level was inch Harvey armor. In front of the 35 mm APC in 1915, there was a pile of unsightly slag toys. Three hundred kilograms of armor-piercing bullets went straight to the boiler room of Majestic.
The dry cabin coal bunker was chiseled through tons of heavy coal and seawater poured along the armor-piercing bullets to create gaps, and several boiler soldiers struggling to wave shovels were instantly buried by the great power of nature!
After passing through the coal bunker, the iron armor-piercing part used to rush straight to a running boiler. The steel plate on the periphery of the boiler was like a thin piece of paper twisted strangely. The boiler soldiers realized what they had lost their tools and rushed desperately to the outside of the boiler cabin. At this time, the boiler steel plate burst and the boiling water and steam burned the lungs leaked out. The boiler cabin was dark and ran rampant in the wet corridor.
Hot boiling water slammed into the boiler, and the soldiers were suddenly waterproof. The soldiers’ thick skin was instantly blackened and necrotic, and they waved their blood and blurred their arms. They cried in pain in the corridor of the cabin.
After that, there were colleagues calling for help, but the boiler soldiers near the boiler door dared not turn back and tried hard to walk outside the boiler cabin, but they were too fast to burn the steam, and the high temperature worried the boiler soldiers’ lungs and respiratory tract. They unconsciously stopped to hold the bulkhead and coughed violently and suffocated to death.
The boiler cabin door was locked by the boiler soldiers who escaped from the birth day. Although there were many companions inside, they had no choice but to avoid disaster and expand.
Even so, the god of death has no pity for these poor people. Several boiler soldiers stopped breathing because of dirty burns. Most of them can’t survive the wound infection. Only a few people can survive. Living is not necessarily better than losing their companions. They will face serious body burns, which is a tragedy that they can’t take care of themselves.
The disaster caused by this armor-piercing projectile has also expanded. In the 1990s, the main ship has not yet caused the seawater of the split boiler to surge into the four running boilers along the crevasse. The speed of the battleship Majestic, which was polluted by seawater, dropped by four knots, which means that Lieutenant Colonel Evans’ self-help plan was completely bankrupt.
The battleship Majestic almost lost its power. Unlike the target ship Majestic of Seidlitz, it is no longer qualified to be a target ship. The second armor-piercing projectile hit the front deck of Majestic and penetrated the thin horizontal deck and the 35 mm first-class main gun shaft at the bow of the ship, and went deep into the waterline ammunition depot.
Sharp friction and the violent shaking of the hull caused the sailors in the water ammunition depot to fall down and get close to the horizontal ammunition depot. The sailors of the Majestic, who were capped with armor-piercing bullets, closed their eyes and couldn’t bear to watch the explosion. The accident was that it was a dud.
Sailors in the ammunition depot are enjoying the pleasure of the rest of their lives after the robbery, but the sailors in the medicine depot are completely desperate. When the armor-piercing projectile penetrates the medicine depot, the friction produces sparks, which has not caused unbearable pain for the time being, but this is not the fact that the medicine distribution rack of the Ministry can’t cope with the violent vibration and shaking of the hull. Sailors can watch the silk package fall off the medicine distribution rack and then explode and catch fire.
The ammunition depot was detonated. The steel plate of the ammunition depot was instantly broken. The scrap iron smelled of gunpowder and blood. air billow, flames, smoke and human body broke into the ammunition depot. The sailors just got up and were overturned again.
The heavy shells slipped from the shell rack and rolled around in the ammunition depot. The sailors were hit by hundreds of kilograms of shells and crushed. The flaming ammunition depot plundered the sailors’ clothes, hair and skin, which were ignited in vain. The deck rolled and then became coke and blood, and soon dried up due to high temperature.
The explosion almost pumped oxygen out of the ammunition depot, and the sailors escaped from the flames quickly suffocated or died when the water in the body evaporated completely.
In turret A, the gunner became a target ammunition depot, and the impact force caused by the explosion lifted dozens of tons of turrets. The gunner and iron fell off the turret like dumplings and slammed the port side of the Majesty together.
The bow of the majestic ship collapsed like mud, and the hull tilted sharply to the left. Before the main mast followed the ship’s tilt signal cable, it broke apart, and the signal flag was wrapped in the cable. The air floated to break the flying bridge lifeboat and overturned the commander’s tower observation mirror.
The watchmen in the watchtower almost rolled out of the armored tower tens of meters high. When two watchtowers were glad that they had grasped the guardrail, they heard the fracture.
With a bang, a main mast collapsed and hit the sea, and the lookout was thrown out of the watchtower, howling and disappearing, boiling the ocean.
It took 30 seconds from the second round of cross-shooting to the capsizing and sinking of the majesty. At 16: 04, Macaulay Leckie didn’t cry, and retribution came to the majesty. There were no more 67 crew members, only five of them survived.
"It’s Ocean’s turn …"
Observing from the command tower of the Ocean, Lieutenant Colonel Kong Macaulay Leckie witnessed the shooting process of the Majesty. Although the fire command ship effectively avoided the problem of judging the impact point of the ship caused by the attack of the sub-fleet of the large fleet on the single ship of the seventh sub-fleet of the Ocean Fleet in the Gerakl Strait, it was difficult to correct the aim. However, the gap between the fear of the ship and the former fear of the ship was far from being able to make up for it. Lieutenant Colonel McAulay vaguely felt that retribution was coming!
