"General, Your Excellency the Commander, let us move closer to the main fleet. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info They will arrive at the battlefield in an hour. "On the battleship 'Queen Elizabeth', the flagship of the 2nd Battleship Detachment of the British Navy, a communications officer reported to Rear Admiral Benjamin.

"An hour? My God! An hour later, we were all sunk by the Germans. Major General Benjamin exclaimed.

The current situation is very unfavorable for them. Three 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships have been wounded in multiple places. Even the flagship battleship "Queen Elizabeth" was hit many times. One of the four main turrets has already been reimbursed, and only a third of the firepower remains. In addition, the fortification and stern are also full of large holes. It can be seen how tragic the previous battle was.

The most severely damaged was undoubtedly the second ship 'Barham', and with the death of the captain and others, it was the captain who was now in command of the battleship. However, because the hull was seriously damaged, the combat effectiveness of the battleship has decreased a lot.

The battleship 'Malaya' was also struggling to support. Rear Admiral Benjamin did not take the German Navy's 'Moltke-class' battlecruisers into account, so that these three 'Moltke-class' battlecruisers could fire without any interference. This directly led to the British Navy's three 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships being hit by them many times. These three 'Moltke-class' battlecruisers performed even better than the three 'D'Verberier-class' battlecruisers.

Under such a huge loss, Major General Benjamin has the heart to persevere, but whether he can hold on for an hour, he really has no bottom at all. It's not that he doesn't work hard, it's not that the soldiers don't work hard, it's really that the difference in strength between the two sides is too big!

Likewise, David? The remaining three battle cruisers of the battle cruiser detachment led by Vice Admiral Betty were also struggling to hold on. Moreover, their situation was even more difficult than that of the 2nd Battleship Detachment of the British Navy. If nothing else, the defense of these three battlecruisers alone was far inferior to that of the three 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships, which made them suffer a lot.

"General, Your Excellency the Commander has arrived with the main fleet. When they arrive, we have hope. An officer said.

But, David? Lieutenant General Betty was expressionless. He knew that the best strategy was John? Admiral Jericho immediately led the main fleet to retreat. In this way, the main force can be saved. As long as the main fleet existed, even if it was trapped in Scapa Bay, it would be a great threat to the German Navy. If the main fleet went into battle, it was completely annihilated by the German Navy. Then the Royal Navy is completely finished. Britain will also lose this war completely, and lose completely.

Of course, David? Lieutenant General Betty also knew, John? Admiral Jericho did this, there was no way. On the one hand, Churchill's orders made it possible for him to lead the main force of the fleet to fight the German Navy, hoping to sink as many German naval warships as possible and prepare for the return of dozens of former dreadnoughts to the battlefield. On the other hand, if the Royal Navy had avoided a decisive battle with the German Navy, the German Navy would have repeated its old tactics and launched attacks on the British coastal cities. When the time comes, it will inevitably cause huge losses to Britain as well. As a last resort, John? Admiral Jericho was only able to carry out Churchill's orders and fight the German navy in a decisive battle.

"Hopefully, we can fight with the Germans in this battle! In that case, we have at least one more chance. It won't be like it is now, there is no chance at all. "David? Lieutenant General Betty muttered.

Indeed, now David? Vice Admiral Betty had already set his goal of being able to fight with the German Navy. As for winning, he knew that it would be impossible at all. That's just an unrealistic luxury.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

The sound of a violent explosion made David? Lieutenant General Betty's face became even more ugly. I saw that the superstructure of the 'Queen Mary' was on fire.

During the bombardment just now, the German Navy's battlecruiser "Prince Frederick" made a hit, and two 380-mm shells hit the battlecruiser.

A shell hit the insistence of the battlecruiser "Queen Mary", the fragile armor of the "Queen Mary" battlecruiser, in front of the 380 mm main gun, no different from papier-mâché, was easily torn apart. The entire bow was blown off in a violent explosion, as if it had been gnawed off by a monster. Waters have begun to pour into the interior of the battlecruiser HMS Queen Mary.

Another shell exploded on the superstructure of the battlecruiser "Queen Mary", which not only ignited a raging fire, but also blew down a chimney, causing the speed of the battlecruiser "Queen Mary" to begin to decrease. In such a fierce naval battle, once the speed drops, everyone knows what it means.

"General, the 'Queen Mary' was hit, and they asked to withdraw from the battle." A communications officer reported.

"Not allowed! Tell them to keep fighting as long as they don't get sunk, even if only one of the main guns can fire! "David? Lieutenant General Betty ordered with a dark face.

"Yes, General." The communications officer immediately went to forward the order.

The battlecruiser "Queen Mary" had no choice but to hold on to the bombs. As the bow continued to flood, the ship's draft became deeper and deeper. At the same time, the speed of the warship is also decreasing further.

In the ensuing battle, the battlecruiser HMS Queen Mary was hit several times in just five minutes, with three 380-mm shells and seven 243-mm shells hitting him. After eating so many shells, the battlecruiser 'Queen Mary' had become riddled with holes and holes everywhere. The sea frantically poured into the interior of the 'Queen Mary' through these loopholes, and the battlecruiser quickly sank into the sea. Of the more than 1,000 naval officers and sailors on the battleship, none survived.

Hearing the news of the sinking of the Queen Mary, David? Lieutenant General Betty closed her eyes in pain. He knew that it was because of his orders that the Queen Mary was sunk.

However, he thought that soon he would be able to atone for his command. Because, the remaining two battle cruisers, under the siege of six battle cruisers of the German Navy, will certainly not last long. Soon, they will follow in the footsteps of the battlecruiser Queen Mary.
