Greece’s Roman Road

The battleship Barbarossa Sea Reading was almost completely surrounded by flames.

Although the turret is intact and the power system does not seem to be damaged, the superstructure of the Barbarossa Sea Redding has almost disappeared, and the raging fire can no longer be contained, although the Ottoman soldiers still hold water pipes and spray sea water towards the fire, Want to save the flagship of the Ottoman Navy.

Seeing that the Barbarossa Hayreddin, surrounded by fire, was still fighting back, Kantoriotis, who was observing with a telescope, had to sigh at the Ottomans' will to fight, while cursing the sturdiness of the German battleships.

No matter what, the Barbarossa Hayredding is an old German ex-dreadnought ship, and the 300kg armor-piercing projectile fired by the 305mm artillery still penetrated the battered hull.

After penetrating the 120mm armor belt of Barbarossa Hayredding, a shell penetrated down the 50mm dome and exploded at the position behind the turret seat ring.

The shell that hit the key position not only caused the No. 2 turret to be severely deformed and stuck, but also caused fires in several cabins after the explosion.

The No. 1 and No. 2 turrets are very close to the ammunition depot shared by the two turrets. If the fire cannot be contained, once the ammunition depot is detonated, the Barbarossa Hayredding may explode into two pieces and the keel will break.

Colonel Tafao ignored Razizbey's reaction, and shouted directly into the microphone: "Immediately fill the ammunition depot with water, immediately fill the ammunition store with water."

"Yes, Captain, this is the ammunition depot, I have opened the water injection valve." The voice from the microphone made Colonel Tafao, who had already raised his heart in his throat, take a deep breath.

Although the doom of the Barbarossa Hayredding was prevented, Colonel Tafao, who had calmed down, was still nervous.

The situation of the Barbarossa Sea Redding, which was hit by several shells, has obviously reached the worst point. In addition to the warship still floating at sea, there are only two 208mm artillery pieces left to threaten the enemy's warships. The speed has dropped seriously, and the current speed has dropped to 6 knots, almost completely losing combat effectiveness.

Now, Barbarossa Hayreddin, who used to be the flagship, has lost the ability to remain in the battle line.

The speed of 6 knots will drag down the entire fleet, and now the Greek fleet is chasing after them. If the fleet has to take into account the Barbarossa Sea Redding, it is bound to reduce the speed of the entire fleet to 6 knots, which may cause the entire fleet to pay more. big price.

The uneasy colonel looked at the commander Razizbeyi and said, "Your Excellency, what should we do now?"

Razizbey understood what Tafao Road meant. The colonel wanted the Barbarossa Hayredding to stay in the rear, to hold back the Greek fleet as much as possible and create time for the main fleet to get out of trouble.

When Razizbey heard Tafao Road's question, he just sighed, feeling sad for the tragic experience of the Barbarossa Hayredding.

If it weren't for the fact that the pressure on the navy in the Ottomans was too great, in any case, such a navy level should not have joined the war.

The navy is a high-tech arm, without long-term and stable capital investment, it is impossible to build a powerful navy.

The century-old navy is not just talk.

Until now, this naval battle has been like a one-sided massacre by the Greek Navy, and the Ottoman Navy failed to hit even a single shell.

This kind of achievement can really make people feel ashamed and indignant to say it.

Razizbey, who said nothing, walked to the chart on the table, stared at the map of the East Aegean Sea, and quickly thought about countermeasures in his mind.

Looking at the island of Gokche, which is only 2 to 3 kilometers away from the fleet on the chart, a crazy idea came to Razizbey's mind.

After thinking about it, he finally made up his mind and said to the signal trooper: "Immediately inform the battleship Torgut and let this ship temporarily serve as the flagship, and Captain Hammett temporarily serves as the fleet commander."

After speaking, he looked at Colonel Tafao Road: "Full rudder, get out of the queue and sail towards Gokche Island."

Colonel Tafao Road was taken aback by this order: "Your Majesty Commander, don't you think..."

"Okay, let's execute the order." Razizbey reached out his hand to interrupt his subordinate's questioning and said firmly.

Seeing that the commander had made up his mind, he knew that he didn't want to talk about it. The captain of Barbarossa Hayredding, Colonel Tafao, began to command the damage control personnel to try to save the life of the battleship.

After the front ammunition bay was filled with water, the No. 1 turret not only failed to fire, but Barbarossa Sea Redding completely lost one-third of its power. Moreover, the large amount of seawater pouring into the ammunition bay caused the weight of the bow to increase greatly, and the hull of the ship was greatly increased. Leaning forward, the speed is further reduced.

In the face of the dominant Greek navy, the fate of the Barbarossa Hayredding really can only be left to the commander's last-ditch effort.

In the battle line of the Ottoman warships, the Barbarossa Hayredding, whose fire had diminished, suddenly rushed out of the array, changed course, and headed south.

Cantoriotis, who saw this phenomenon, immediately reacted. This was the enemy's tactic to survive by docking his tail.

In my heart, I felt that the battleships had rough skin and thick flesh, and they deserved to be the mainstay of the navies of various countries. They had excellent sink resistance. Even the 305mm caliber cannons equipped by the invincible-class battlecruisers could still move freely after a few hits.

To be content with sinking the Ottoman navy's flagship Barbarossa Hayredding is a huge honor.

It's just such a rare opportunity to seriously damage the Ottoman Navy, it's really a pity to let it go.

It is natural to continue chasing the main Ottoman fleet, but the fleet is already very close to the Ottoman coast, and will soon enter the strait between Gokchet Island and Canakkale Peninsula~www.wuxiahere.com~ Considering that this is too much Close to the Ottoman coast, the Greek navy was not familiar with the water conditions there and the distribution of mines arranged by the Ottoman navy, and Kontoriotis did not dare to take the risk of the only two main battleships of the Greek navy.

The weapons of mines are very cost-effective. The ships of the Greek fleet are all fast warships with weak armor. If a mine is fired, even if it does not sink on the spot, it will be severely damaged.

Seemingly creating an opportunity for the main fleet to escape, the four destroyers in the Ottoman fleet accelerated and charged towards the Greek fleet, making a deadly blow.

Soon, in order to contain the pursuit and interrupt the formation of the Greek fleet, the torpedo was unintentionally the most effective weapon.

Several white tracks extended towards the Greek fleet. While each ship was dodging, they fired wildly at the four destroyers in order to interfere with the enemy's destroyers firing fish.

An Ottoman destroyer was hit in a row and exploded on the spot.

After this wave of torpedo attacks, seeing that the opponent was about to enter the strait on the side of Gokche Island, he did not dare to pursue it.

The entire fleet turned back to look for the Ottoman battleship in the rear, but saw that the ship actually washed up on the beach of Gokche Island and turned into a fixed fort.

The flagship of the Ottoman navy chose to run aground on the beach.
