As the distance approached, the British Navy launched a fierce counterattack.

The Barham, which once participated in the battle of Jutland, is an old ship during World War I. now, it fires at full speed. The four 381mm naval guns in the front of the ship's bow constantly emit black smoke and throw shells at the opposite side.

Although it is an old ship, it still has strong combat effectiveness!

At the same time, all auxiliary guns are also firing.

At this time, the exchange of fire between the two sides was extremely fierce. Everyone knew that the victory of the naval battle could be won by defeating each other's flagship first. Therefore, three British 30000 ton battleships were firing at the Bismarck. At the same time, German battleships were frantically pouring shells at the opposite side.

The exchange of fire has been going on for the 30th minute. The Bismarck poured 216 406mm shells at the other side. However, it seems that her luck has been exhausted and there has been no result.

"The ruler is forward to adjust 50." on the Bismarck number, Claude's artillery commander continues to instruct, with his command, the naval gun, the salvo starts again.

"Boom!" The 406mm shell continued to fly out. This time, in the sight, he saw the other party's turret, emitting thick smoke, which had hit the Barham!

Well done!

"Boom!" Almost at the same time, there was a loud explosion on the Bismarck.

The turret of an auxiliary gun on one side was hit!

The 406mm armor piercing bullet directly pierced the turret of the double mounted 150mm naval gun, and then an explosion occurred. In the explosion, the ammunition of the turret was killed.

Fortunately, the continuous shooting made the turret almost run out of ammunition. This time, it was killed and exploded without hurting muscles and bones.

The British Navy opposite was cheering.

The Barham was shot, but it can fight!

The gun just hit was launched by the Nelson. This warship, a warship of the same level as the Rodney, is equipped with three 406 mm triple guns. Because all the guns are in front, it is quite easy to shoot now.

It has also fired more than 100 shells and finally hit the Bismarck opposite, which made the Gunners on the Nelson very excited. In the gun position full of gunsmoke, the gunner continued to give instructions. Now that it has hit, it will continue to shoot.

The German's fire speed is very fast, almost twice that of his own side. However, the firepower that the German can use now is not as big as that of his own side.

Lookout Chloe, standing on the high watchtower and looking at the German Naval Formation opposite, also has a task to find the possible underwater German submarines in advance.

The Germans are so shameless. They have to be attacked by submarines. The Germans are really not a gentleman!

Just as he looked out, he heard the roar in the distant sky. When he turned his telescope, he immediately shouted in surprise: "attention, German torpedo!"

Although the fw190 took off later, they flew in advance. At this time, in the distance, the torpedo aircraft turned into a low altitude state and headed for the German ship.

"Come on, air defense alarm!" Shouted the captain.

At this time, for the British fleet, the most terrible God of death has come!

German carrier based aircraft fly very tricky. They fly from the direction where the fleet's air defense force is the weakest, a complete dead corner area.

For example, for the Nelson, there are six 120 mm high-altitude and flat dual-purpose guns, eight 76 mm guns and six 47 mm guns. It is said that the air firepower is definitely not small.

But now, the 120 mm naval gun and 76 mm naval gun do not have enough depression angle. People come directly from ultra-low altitude, while the 47 mm naval gun can reach the depression angle, but the distance is too far. For a time, they are at a loss about these planes.

Fw190 flew low, threw the torpedo into the water in the most appropriate position, and then turned around and returned in the heavy artillery fire of the British fleet.

It's so domineering.

Six torpedoes, swimming towards the Nelson, had different directions and angles. No matter how mobile it was, it could not avoid all these torpedoes.

"Boom!" There was a violent explosion at the bottom of Nelson. The explosion spread to the whole ship body and immediately frightened the sailors.

"Watertight tank No. 2 is flooded."

"Come on, close the watertight compartment urgently."

"Boom!"

"Serious water ingress on the left side and the hull tilts three degrees."

"Pump the heavy oil on the right into the empty oil tank on the left to balance the hull."

"Boom!"

Another explosion.

"Report that the rudder fails, the tail propeller deforms and the thrust slows down."

"Damn it, release the smoke and quit the battle." The captain of the Nelson was very angry. His warship was hit by three torpedoes successively. Fortunately, his ship can still sail now.

However, he can no longer participate in the battle. The tail propeller and steering gear have failed and it has lost its mobility. Now, he can only slowly withdraw from the battle and return to the port. After it is repaired, he can continue to participate in the battle.

Now, like the Queen Elizabeth, it only wants to withdraw from the battle calmly.

"Boom, boom!" Just then, two more torpedoes came one after another. At the bottom of it, an explosion occurred.

The two explosions were absolutely fatal. The Nelson tilted to the left again. This time, it had no remedial measures to deal with it!

These two torpedoes were not thrown by aircraft, but by submarines!

The captain of the Nelson was extremely shocked at this time. There were more than one German submarine underwater!

"Attention, there are submarines underwater!" He shouted loudly, reminding his warships to pay attention. Unfortunately, it was too late.

In future generations, how to fight an aircraft carrier is a big problem in front of the PLA. In the face of this problem, they are studying tirelessly, and the final conclusion is to start with many aspects.

Now, the German Navy has also studied repeatedly on how to completely bury the British fleet. Of course, this method is also started in many ways!

Only the naval duel between battleships and the mutual shooting of ship guns by both sides have fallen behind the gentlemanly playing method.

Germany has created armored blitz on the ground, the air force has created air ground joint, and the navy is combined by multiple arms.

The battleships bombarded each other, and the carrier planes threw torpedoes and bombs. At the same time, the submarine troops also came up. This set of tactics is called Wolf Pack tactics!

Last night, after the news that the Deutschland was pursued came out, almost all the German submarines in the eastern Atlantic were rushing here.

Now, five German submarines have arrived at the main battlefield of the war between Germany and the British navy.

The u-47 submarine successfully attracted the anti submarine ships sent by Britain. Other submarines calmly arranged the attack array. At this time, the carrier aircraft also arrived.

Air, water, underwater, encircle and annihilate the British Navy together!
