Third Reich: I took over power

The George V-class battleship is a typical Treaty-class battleship. Its displacement and main gun caliber are severely restricted.

The displacement of this class of battleship is only 37,000 tons, but the armor is very thick. The thickness of the side armor reaches 370 mm and other main armor is also 324 meters thick. Only the armor of the command tower is relatively weak, only 102 mm.

In terms of firepower, the George V-class battleship is also considered very strong. Although the main gun caliber is only 56 mm, the total number of up to ten guns gives it strong firepower.

In addition, the George V-class battleships are also equipped with air search radars, sea search radars, and fire control radars for the main and secondary batteries. The performance of the electronic equipment is also very strong.

In comparison, the capital ships built by the Third Reich did not have much advantage in this regard. It can only be said to be comparable to it.

Of course, in this regard, the Third Reich and the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets are definitely at the top level in the world. Other countries, including Eagle Sauce, the Kingdom of Caesar and the Eastern Empire, are far from being able to compete with the Third Reich and the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets. compared to

"boom! boom! boom!"

After the battle began, the Prince of Wales and the Duke of York began to fire violently.

Its two quadruple-mounted 356-meter main guns and a twin-mounted 356mm main gun opened fire violently under the guidance of fire control radar.

Heavy artillery shells roared and smashed into the three O-class battlecruisers of the Third Reich's break-up fleet.

The three O-class battlecruisers of the Third Reich's break-up fleet were also not to be outdone. On their own side, Under the guidance of the fire control radar, the 380mm main gun was used to fight back.

In the current naval battle, the Third Reich Navy is three against two, and it also has the advantage of the number and caliber of artillery. Both sides have efficient fire control radars. Under such circumstances, no one could take advantage of the night battle.

This gave the Third Reich's break-up fleet an advantage in the naval battle.

"boom! boom! boom!"

The battle was very fierce, and both sides tried their best from the beginning. The

Third Reich's break-up fleet wanted to break through the Royal Navy's blockade and return to the country.

The Royal Navy wanted to intercept the Third Reich's break-up fleet. To annihilate them.

Under such circumstances, the fierce battle will probably end only if one side loses completely.

At 11 o'clock in the evening on July 5, the Third Reich Navy's breakup fleet scored the first hit in this naval battle..

A 380mm shell hit the bow of the battleship HMS Prince of Wales. The heavy armor-piercing shell easily penetrated the bow deck armor, blasting a large hole in the bow and igniting a raging fire.

In Under night, firelight undoubtedly became the best guide.

This directly made the Prince of Wales become a magnet for shells. The three O-class battlecruisers of the Third Reich seized this opportunity and opened fire fiercely on the Prince of Wales.

One At that time, the battleship Prince of Wales was in danger.

Although the damage control personnel were desperately trying to put out the fire, they still could not put out the fire in time. In the process, many shells hit the Prince of Wales.

Not only did the fire

The battleship Duke of York continued to attack, trying to share the pressure on the battleship Prince of Wales. However

, the battleship Duke of York's performance tonight was not good, as if It was like wasting shells and failed to achieve a hit.

Seeing that the Prince of Wales continued to be hit and the damage to the hull became more and more serious, this directly caused the captain of the battleship Prince of Wales to panic.

If they were in this battle , If it is sunk, this will make the Royal Navy pay the price again.

After being hit by several 380mm shells in succession, causing serious damage to the battleship, the captain of the battleship Prince of Wales sent a request to the Home Fleet Command Retreat telegram.

Admiral Charles Forbes obviously did not dare to take the risk and let the Prince of Wales continue to fight. If the Prince of Wales was sunk, the consequences would be very serious.

So Admiral Charles Forbes ordered the Prince of Wales The battleship withdrew from the battle.

This caused the battleship Duke of York to be under siege and unable to survive.

Fortunately, after the battleship Prince of Wales retreated, the other two George V-class battleships arrived on the battlefield in time.

The battleship Anson and the battleship Howe The addition of the battleship made the strength of both sides more balanced.

In particular, the battleship Duke of York seemed to have got out of bad luck and began to perform normally.

During the battle, both sides launched fierce shooting.

The battleships on both sides continued to score hits.. But the same thing continued to be hit.

The fire spread on the battleship again, looking so dazzling under the night sky.

Even if the damage control personnel on both sides tried their best, they could not put out the fire in time.

Fortunately, the third The Empire's O-class battlecruisers have strengthened their defenses. The main armor thickness is as high as 358 mm. This makes the George V-class battleship's 4 times caliber 356 mm main gun unable to cause fatal damage to it for a while.

And the O-class battlecruiser The 50 times caliber 380 mm main gun was able to penetrate the main armor of the George V class battleship and cause heavy damage to it.

This allowed the Third Reich Navy to break the enemy fleet and occupy a certain advantage in naval battles.

However, the quality of the sailors of the Royal Navy was higher than that of the sailors of the Third Reich Navy.

In addition, both sides have advanced fire control radars available, which makes the Royal Navy's hit rate even higher.

Overall, the two sides were equally matched in this naval battle.

However, this situation changed at 12 o'clock in the evening.

Two Royal Navy Queen Elizabeth-class battleships, HMS Warspite and HMS Warrior, arrived on the battlefield.

After the modernization and modification of these two battleships, their speed has been greatly improved.

Although it cannot be compared with the O-class battlecruisers of the Third Reich, its angle of entry into the battlefield is so suitable that the three O-class battlecruisers suffered great damage.

The 381mm main gun of the Queen Elizabeth-class battleship was so powerful that it caused serious damage to the battlecruiser Barbarossa and Schlieffen that were under attack.

In fact, even the hull of the ship has begun to take in water.

Fortunately, at 1 am on July 26, three O-class battlecruisers also relied on their speed advantage to get rid of the two Queen Elizabeth-class battleships.

However, in front of them, there are two Revenge-class battleships waiting in full formation.

The three King George V-class battleships did not hesitate to pressurize and ventilate the boilers, but they also wanted to hunt down the three O-class battlecruisers.

When the three O-class battlecruisers were in danger, the reinforcements they had been waiting for finally arrived on the battlefield. _Feilu reminds you: three things about reading - collection, recommendation,
