Although the "King of Hanover" was beaten to the point of paralysis by "Qin Shihuang", "Han Gao Emperor", and "Han Guang Wu Emperor", this large battleship with a standard row of 25,000 tons can still withstand the beating - this class of battleship is in

When designing, we adopted the idea of ​​​​focusing on defense and putting life first, so the core part of the battleship is very strong, but the deck armor is too neglected, only 25mm-65mm. This aspect is because the design idea is backward. Unexpectedly, the Ming Navy Aviation

So quickly, 250 kilograms of aerial bombs were loaded! On the one hand, this is because this ship is only a standard 25,000-ton ship. Although a lot of tonnage is deducted from the power part, the five twin 13.5-inch turrets take up too much tonnage.

. If we want to add more tonnage to the deck, the 25,000 tons cannot be stopped, and we have to go to 30,000 tons.

Although the thick skin gained at the expense of speed is not invulnerable, the 330mm cannon of the "Qin Shihuang" class can't kill a person in one go. If it were fired by a 360mm cannon of the "Dazhou" class,

If so, the "King of Hanover" would have been beaten with holes all over his body.

And just when the "King of Hanover" was struggling to support itself and being beaten by cannons, its helpers finally completed the turn one after another. Now the firepower of the British second battleship formation came up. There were 6 ships in this formation.

Each ship of the "Emperor of India" class has 10 13.5-inch guns, but one of the stern turrets of the "King of Scotland" was blown away. So now there are only 58 guns that can be concentrated and fired. 58 13.5-inch guns

Cannons are no joke!

After the British second battleship formation completed its turn, these 58 guns aimed at the "Qin Shihuang" and the "Tang Taiwu Emperor" respectively!

At the same time, "Qin Shihuang" also completed the turn with "Han Gao Emperor", "Han Guangwu Emperor", "Jin Wu Emperor", "Sui Wen Emperor", and Tang Taiwu Emperor. They had a total of 48 330

The millimeter cannon, however, did not aim at the "King of Hanover" who had been beaten to the point of paralysis. Instead, it changed its opponent and fired at the "King of Scotland".

The main reason why they had to change targets was because the speed of these six "Qin Shihuang" was maintained well. After completing the turn, it increased to 24 knots, so they quickly outran the "King of Hannover" which could only run 15 knots.

They are behind. As for the British, in order to compete with the six-limbed "Shihuang" class for the T position, they can only let the ships that can run go first. The ships that can't run can only lag far behind.

Shooting on the ground.

So the British "Emperor of India" class quickly ran out of the front and rear teams. The front team was led by the "King of Scotland", accompanied by the "King of England", "Charlemagne" and the "Roman Emperor", and the rear team

It was the "King of Hanover" and the "Emperor of India" who were in trouble. Because the four "Indian Emperors" in the front team were close to the "Qin Shi Huang", all their 38 13.5-inch guns were fired at the "Qin Shi Huang". After a while,

Just a few straddle shots were fired, and the shells fell like raindrops around the "First Emperor", exploding the sea water around the "First Emperor" as if it was boiling!

The "King of Hanover" and the "Emperor of India" fell behind. They were getting further and further away from the "Qin Shihuang" and it was difficult to aim, so they aimed all 20 of their cannons at the last of the six "Shihuang" class ships.

"Emperor Taiwu of the Tang Dynasty".

Now, in the battle between the "Emperor of India" class and the "Emperor of India" class, there have been three unlucky guys who were bombed - "Qin Shihuang", "Tang Taiwu Emperor" and "King of Scotland".

The most unlucky among them must be the "King of Scotland" who gave birth to a "little King of Scotland" and was replaced by "Qin Shihuang", "Han Gao Di", "Han Guang Wu Di", "Jin Wu Di", "Sui Wen Di", "

Can "Emperor Taiwu of the Tang Dynasty" still survive? The 48 330mm guns only fired three rounds, and a 330mm shell hit the front of the main gun turret amidships of the "King of Scotland" from 12,000 meters away!

At this distance, the 330mm hooded armor-piercing projectile is enough to penetrate the 280mm turret armor of the "King of Scotland" which only uses surface hardening technology! And when this 330mm shell penetrates the middle of the "King of Scotland" ship

Inside the turret, the gun crew members in the turret were firing at the "Qin Shi Huang" with the greatest enthusiasm. In order to increase the rate of fire as much as possible, these brave British gunners ignored safety regulations and kept the fire door at the bottom of the turret open.

Normally open or closed, in order to feed ammunition into the turret faster.

In addition, in order to increase the rate of fire, the British piled a large amount of propellant inside the turret and in the ammunition supply channel to reduce the loading process.

In this case, once the turret is penetrated, the accompanying explosion and fire will not only burn all the accumulated propellant, but the fire will also spread to the ammunition depot under the turret through the open fire door!

Less than 20 seconds after the "King of Scotland"'s midship turret was hit, a huge flame suddenly exploded in the middle of the 25,000-ton battleship, and then another even bigger flame.

, followed by the third and fourth big explosions! The fire caused by the explosion flooded the entire warship like a tide. This was not caused by one 330mm shell, but more than 150 13.5-inch shells.

The astonishing power produced when they exploded. The big explosion of these shells created a temperature that was enough to melt steel and a huge impact that was huge enough to tear the steel hull. When they broke through all restraints and swept the entire battleship, the entire battlefield seemed to be like a

Got lit!

"Long live! Long live the Ming Dynasty!"

There were thunderous cheers on the six "First Emperor" class battleships. Li Kezhi and Yu Yang, who were on the approaching battleship "Da Zhou" in the distance, couldn't help but feel excited. They just kept urging the battleships to speed up——

We must rush to the battlefield before the "First Emperor" and the others destroy all the British battleships!

Because according to the plan drawn up by Li Kezhi and Yu Yang, Guo Xiaobao's fleet was just a decoy, and the role of the six "Shihuang" class ships was only to use their speed to fight the enemy - their 330mm main guns seemed to be insufficiently powerful and difficult to sink.

The two super battleships with 360 mm caliber main guns, the "Da Zhou" and the "Da Qin", can really "determine the outcome" with one shot!

But I didn't expect that the British 25,000-ton battleship seemed a bit unstoppable!

Are all those British 25,000-ton ships built in the famous Hindustan Shipyard?

No, you have to hurry up and "cut the bow", otherwise you won't be able to catch anything!

The joy of the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty is of course the pain of the officers and soldiers of the British Navy! Since today's battle, they have suffered heavy losses! Five aircraft-carrying armored cruisers have been lost, and three Sovereign-class ships have been sunk, and now there are more

An Indian Emperor class! And the opponent's losses that can be seen so far seem to be only two or three burning "beggar's battleships".

William Baga felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. Major General Jervis beside him had tears in his eyes and asked in a low voice: "Admiral, what should we do now?"

"What to do?" William Baga gritted his teeth, "Of course it's a charge. We also have the William IV, the Queen Elizabeth, and 11 Victory Class and 11 Indomitable Class. We will fight them!"
