Tsarist Russia: Please Call Me Your Majesty The Tsar

Chapter 200 Why Are The Russians So Strong (Fifth Update, Please Subscribe!)

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

On the sea, the six 'Mikhail I-class' battleships of the Tsarist Russian Navy kept firing, one after another shells ruthlessly hitting the battleships of the Orientals.

The six 'Mikhail I-class' battleships each selected a target.

Among them, 'Mikhail I' against 'Shikishima', 'Alexey I' against 'Hatsuse', 'Fyodor III' against 'Asahi', Ivan V' No. against the 'Mikasa', 'Peter I' against the 'Fuji', 'Princess Sofia' against the 'Yakushima'.

Among them, the series of battleships of Mikhail I is the flagship of the Tsarist Russian Navy's home fleet. And "The battleship Zhukasa is the flagship of the combined fleet of the Eastern Navy.

Although the warships of the two sides were separated by tens of thousands of meters, the warship "273" of the Tsarist Russian Navy did not score a hit. However, with round after round of test firing, it can be clearly found that the impact point is constantly approaching.

And this result will naturally change the faces of the top leaders of the Eastern Navy.

"Your Excellency, with the Russian bombardment, their impact point is getting closer to our warship. The nearest impact point is even less than 100 meters away from our warship." Colonel Hayao Shimamura looked in disbelief .

Lieutenant General Dongxiang Heihachiro's face was also very ugly. He suddenly realized that they seemed to underestimate the Russians too much. Whether it is a battleship or a sailor, the Russians are more eye-catching.

"Damn it! Turn around and close the distance with the Russians. Order all ships, and the main guns are ready to fire!" Lieutenant General Dongxiang Heihachiro ordered.

Originally, he thought that at such a long distance, the firing of warships of the Tsarist Russian Navy was a waste of shells. But now, he no longer dared to think so.

"Hi, Your Excellency Commander!" replied Colonel Hayao Shimamura.

The battle line of the combined fleet of the Eastern Navy began to turn in an attempt to shorten the distance. However, the battle line of the Tsarist Russian Navy's home fleet did not give them this opportunity at all. The battle line of the Eastern Navy turned, and they turned in the same way. Even the speed is almost the same. This makes it impossible for the battle line of the Eastern Navy to shorten the distance.

At the same time, the six battleships of the Eastern Navy also started shelling.

Four "Shikishima-class" battleships and two "Fuji-class" battleships began to fire violently.

Both the "Shikishima-class" battleships and the "Fuji-class" battleships are equipped with two twin-mounted 305mm main guns with 40 times the caliber.

Although these 305mm main guns have a maximum range of more than 10,000 meters. However, at too far a distance, not only the aim is low. At the same time, the armor penetration ability is also very

Only by further shortening the combat distance can the armor-piercing ability be greatly improved.

For example, it can penetrate Krupp armor with a thickness of 216 mm at a distance of 10,000 yards. To penetrate the Krupp armor with a thickness of 305 mm, the distance must be shortened to 3,000 yards.

The combat distance at this moment has reached 10,000 meters.

Even if the "Mikhail I-class" battleship of the Tsarist Russian Navy was hit, the main guns of the battleship of the Orientals would not be able to penetrate the main armor of the battleship. It is difficult to severely damage these "Mikhail I-class" battleships, let alone sink them.

On the other hand, the "Mikhail I-class" battleships of the Tsarist Russian Navy can easily penetrate the armor of the "Shikishima-class" and "Fuji-class" battleships at a distance of 10,000 meters. Although the "Shikishima-class" battleship uses Harvey armor steel, the thickness of the gun mantlet armor has reached 254 mm, the thickness of the side armor is 229 mm, and the thickness of the conning tower armor is 356 mm. The armor of the "Fuji-class" battleship is even thicker, with side armor reaching 457mm, gun mantlet armor reaching 356mm, and the armor thickness of the conning tower also reaching 356mm. However, these armors are all composite armors. In terms of defensive performance, it can't even compare with the armor of the "Shikishima-class" battleship.

After all, a composite armor with a thickness of 457 millimeters is only equivalent to 273 millimeters of Harvey armor steel. The 356 mm of armor is only equivalent to 212 mm of Harvey armor steel.

It can be said that in the face of the 50 times the caliber and 305mm main guns of the Tsarist Russian Navy, the defense of these two battleships of the Orientals simply cannot resist. Even at a distance of 10,000 meters, they can be easily penetrated...

Whether it's firepower, defense, or speed, the six battleships of the Orientals were crushed by the six "Mikhail I-class battleships" of the Tsarist Russian Navy.

Under such circumstances, can they still beat the Tsarist Russian Navy?

If so, they still win. The officers and soldiers of the Tsarist Russian Navy are all veritable idiots.

"Boom! Boom!"

The main guns of both sides were firing, but neither was able to hit the enemy's battleship for a long time.

However, the shells fired by the main guns of the Eastern Navy had scattered impact points. Moreover, the six battleships only have a total of 24 305mm main guns. However, the shells fired by the main guns of the battleships of the Tsarist Russian Navy are getting closer and closer to the point of impact. It seems that it won't be long before they will be able to form a straddle shot or even a direct hit.

Moreover, the six battleships of the Tsarist Russian Navy have 54 305mm main guns. It is more than double the 24 doors of the Orientals. Moreover, these main guns are stronger than the 305mm main guns of the Orientals in terms of range and armor-piercing ability.

Under such circumstances, the battleships of the Orientals could not be compared with the Tsarist Russian Navy in all aspects.

"boom!"

At 1:20 p.m. on July 7, 1804, a shell fired by the battleship Alexei I of the Tsarist Russian Navy exploded on the port side of the battleship Hatsuse. 1.0

This also means that the battleship "Alexey I" has completed the test firing and formed a straddle.

To put it bluntly, the shell fired by the battleship 'Alexis I' has already 'clamped' the battleship 'Hatsuse'.

"Fire and shoot, and drop the battleships of the Japanese!"|The captain of the battleship Alexei I issued an order excitedly.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Three triple-mounted 305mm main guns with 50 times the caliber began to fire at full speed.

In each round of salvo, 9 shells were fired.

These shells exploded around the battleship Hatsuse.

It seems that it is only a matter of time before these shells hit the battleship 'Hatsuse'.

The Dongyang Navy was stunned by such a result. .
