"Boom boom boom..."

"Major General! Another cross shot!"

"I understand!" Rear Admiral Hans Ransdorf suddenly had a very familiar feeling. As a German admiral who had lost two ships, he could already smell the unique smell before the shipwreck.

That's the taste, that's right!

The smoke mixed with the fishy smell of sea water, and there were a stream of water coming, and there were huge water rushing up around. Everyone in the bridge looked panicked. The first mate who was driving the ship was fully focused and used his ability to eat.

But this is useless!

As a senior naval officer who fell into the water twice and was salvaged, Major General Lansdorf not long ago got a chance to go to the Naval Staff Academy for short training. This was what the Marshal Lütjens thought that his skills were not good and needed to learn. He learned some things at the Naval Staff Academy. He learned about the latest fire control radar technology of Britain and the United States, so he knew that his new ship, the USS Luzov, was in extreme danger. If he could not escape as soon as possible, he would almost certainly be sunk.

Because there are now two South Dakota-class battleships and four Soviet-class battleships that are concentrating their firepower to bombard the unlucky German heavy cruiser.

"Span!"

"Ula!"

There was a sound of cheering sounding inside the bridge of the USS Soviet battleship. Although the professional quality of the Red Navy commanders and fighters was slightly worse, everyone still knew what "cross-shooting" meant.

"Comrade Political Commissar, the Soviet Union made a cross shot in the second round of volleys!" Kuznetsov said to the big layman Burganing with a proud look, "This is better than the two American battleships!"

Of course, this is a fool. The four Soviet class and two South Dakota class are aiming in a unified way, and the one responsible for sighting is the Massachusetts. The Soviet Union only fired based on the various elements given by the Massachusetts. Before the four Soviet class went to New York, experts from the US Navy had repeatedly tested the 406mm main guns of the Soviet class and mastered all their data. Therefore, in the Massachusetts, they can directly calculate the design of the four Soviet class main guns. The gunners of the Soviet Red Navy only need to fire based on the various elements given by the Americans. Before, the Massachusetts had fired seven or eight rounds of volleys, and had already corrected the elements.

"Boom boom boom..." The two Bismarck-class battleships, the 2nd Team of the European Combined Fleet, the 2nd Team of the Richelieu and the 2 Barbarossa also used the 44 380mm naval guns they carried to kick off the attacks of one of the European allies. The commander of the team, Major General Lindman, knew very well that the enemy's firepower was much stronger than him, so he had to sink or severely damage the two South Dakota-class ships as soon as possible, otherwise the opponent's 54 406mm cannons would sooner or later wipe out his team.

Ingersoll looked at the water rising dozens of meters away and snorted softly: "The Alabama counterattacked the enemy's battleship formation, and the rest of the ships concentrated their firepower to bombard the heavy patrol, and sank it."

The purpose of his single ship Alabama to counterattack was to find the right shooting elements, and he would hit the shells on the heads of the enemy battleship as soon as possible later.

As for the German heavy patrol, since they have all shot a cross shot, they should be able to sink soon.

"Recently missing bullets!"

A scream rang in Lansdorf's ear, and he quickly grabbed the handrail beside him. At this moment, a 406mm cannonball landed in the water less than 20 meters next to the port side of the Luzov. A huge column of water with white smoke rose into the air, more than 20 meters high. The aroused sea water rushed towards the Luzov, almost wetting half of the ship.

When Lansdorf had just breathed a sigh of relief and escaped another disaster, the disaster finally came! A 406mm shell fired by the Soviet Russia hit the main armor belt of the side of the Luzov. The 80mm armor could not block the 406mm shell. The shell not only opened a large hole in the side of the Luzov, but also penetrated the boiler compartment and landed in the boiler compartment. However, fortunately, the fuse of this Soviet-made 406mm shell had quality problems and did not detonate the shell.

However, the huge impact force still caused damage to the Luzov. A steam pipeline broke, and most of the power was lost immediately, and the speed dropped from 32 knots to 15 knots.

Now everyone knows that the Luzov is over! He can't beat him and can't escape, so he can only wait to die.

"boom!"

Just 2 minutes later, a huge fireball suddenly rose on the rear deck of the heavy cruiser Luzov! The No. 4 turret of this heavy cruiser seemed to be kicked by a giant with infinite power, and I don’t know where to fly. Fortunately, the fuze of this 406mm shell, also produced by the Soviet Union, was too sensitive and exploded while concentrating the No. 4 turret. Therefore, it was just blown away, without blowing through the cannon seat and the protective wall of the turret well below the turret, otherwise it would directly explode the ammunition!

However, the explosion of this Soviet shell still caused a fire (there may be ammunition in the barrel at that time), and the hot flames began to test the ammunition depot. Lansdorf, who had known that the Luzov was dead, did not hesitate at all and immediately ordered the ammunition depot to be poured into the ammunition depot. Hundreds of tons of sea water poured in further slowed down the speed. Now the Luzov had no hope, but he just didn't know how long it could last.

Major General Lansdorf then issued an order to abandon the ship (the captain and the first mate must fight to the end). If the damage of the Luzov was judging from the damage of the Luzov, the abandonment was still wise. Just as most of the sailors and officers retreated in an orderly manner until the end, a 406mm heavy bomb fired by the Massachusetts battleship hit Luzov again. This time the shell broke into the engine compartment of the Luzov and caused a big explosion, causing the heavy cruiser with a standard displacement of 15,200 tons to lose all its power, and also caused an uncontrollable fire.

The heavy cruiser Luzov turned into a floating fire ship!

"Marrior, it's the heavy cruiser Luzov...it's over!" Lieutenant General William Messel reported to his superior Marshal Lütjens with some depression. He did not expect that the other party would actually be unable to get along with a heavy cruiser.

"I know," said the Marshal Lütjens calmly, "Save as much as possible, if it really doesn't work, you can give up."

When he issued the order "can give up the Luzov", the 1st team he personally commanded had already engaged in fierce exchanges of fire with the 2nd team of the Allied Combined Fleet.

The six battleships of the 1st Team did not choose to concentrate firepower, but attacked the opponent's three battleships at the same time. The Hindenburg and Rudendolph were responsible for shelling the Duke of York, the Veneto and Litorio were responsible for attacking the Anson, and the Roman and the Empire were bombarding the Howe.

At the same time, Navy Marshal Lütjens also ordered the 3rd team to continue to approach the enemy's five battleships/battleship cruisers and two heavy cruisers. As long as the distance between the 3rd team and the opponent is closer to within 20,000 meters, they can launch 6 powerful V3 remote-controlled missiles!

...

"It's a cross shot!" Lieutenant General Fraser took his eyes from the battleship Alabama ahead and looked at General Ingersoll with some anxiety.

Admiral Ingersol's decision to "sink Luzov first" was later considered a major mistake. Because during the process of the sinking of Luzov (the heavy cruiser was hit in the fourth time and then sank), six battleships of the European Combined Fleet also launched the Massachusetts and Alabama. Bismarck, Tirpiz and Barbarossa concentrated their firepower to bombard the Massachusetts, and Jean Barr, Emperor Napoleon and Schriefen concentrated their bombardment of Alabama.

In other words, the two American battleships each had 22 380mm cannons!

Although after the Luzov was sunk, Ingersol immediately ordered concentrated firepower to bombard the battleship Tirpiz (of which Alabama had already fired at Tirpiz). However, the initiative was still lost. Before all the six battleships of the Allied Combined Fleet were adjusted, the opponent had fired five rounds of volleys, and each shot a cross-fire in the 4th and 5th rounds (on Massachusetts and Alabama respectively).

It's only a matter of time before these two American battleships were shot! It's up to you to see if their armor can withstand the bombardment of the enemy's 380mm shells.

...

"Boom!"

The huge fireball rose outside the port side armor belt of the Ludendolf battleship. This huge H39 battleship was hit by the British Duke of York. Since it was the first three British battleships to fire at Ludendolf, it was not unexpected that they hit the first.

"Hold it!" Marshal Lütjens was relieved when he saw the shape of the flame. The 330mm side armor withstood the test! It still withstood the bombardment of the British 14-inch (356mm) main gun at a distance of 24,000 meters.

"Span!"

At this time, people cheered in the bridge of Hindenburg. It turned out that the sixth round of volleys fired by Hindenburg and Rudendolf had crossed the Duke of York. It was only a matter of time before the hit was hit, and this King George V-class battleship could not withstand the bombardment of the 406mm main gun.

As long as it can hit, it is very likely that the power system of the battleship will be damaged and slow down. Due to the existence of three P-class missile cruisers, slowing down will be fatal to the Duke of York.
