Chapter 236: Fierce Battle (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

"Shit!" Seeing that the 'Daring' was hit, Rear Admiral Carroll directly cursed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Fortunately, the 'Daring' then reported that it had not been hit to the vital point, which made Carol breathe a sigh of relief. If a battleship had been lost at the beginning of the battle, the battle would have been unfought.

"Damn the Germans, their battle cruisers are really powerful!" Although it was just a battle, Rear Admiral Carroll had already seen the strength of the German Navy, which should not be underestimated. But the more this was the case, the more the British navy had to defeat the German navy, and only in this way could the sea power of the British Empire be maintained.

"Very good, guys, it's just a little bit close. We were almost able to inflict heavy damage on the British with one battleship. "On the battlecruiser 'Blucher', Vice Admiral Hippert cheered on the gunners. Although, the shot just now did not seriously damage the battleship 'Daring', which is a little pity. But Lieutenant General Hipperer believes that once the first hit is made, there will be more to come.

"The whole ship is fired!" The captain of the 'Blucher' gave the order to gather fire.

Although, the battlecruiser "Blucher" did not form a straddle fire at the "Daring". But being able to hit the 'Daring' just now shows that they have no problem shooting the elements.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The three triple 50-caliber 305-mm guns of the battlecruiser 'Blucher' began a heavy fire. With each salvo, nine shells were fired, which greatly increased the hit rate.

Perhaps it was because of the bad luck of the British, or maybe the 'Daring' was too unlucky. After the battlecruiser "Blucher" made a hit, the battlecruiser "Seydlitz" also hit the "Daring".

During the test firing, a 343-mm shell hit the 'Daring'. The deck armor simply could not withstand such heavy shells, and it was easily pierced.

The shells exploded inside the ship, shattering several of the compartments inside and causing a raging fire.

Although they did not hit the critical position of the 'Daring', the sailors of the 'Daring', in order to avoid further damage, had to control the damage as much as possible.

Hit twice in a row, the morale of the sailors on the battleship 'Daring' fell to the bottom. Although, their shelling continues, the aim is getting lower and lower. At the same time, the time it takes to shoot once is getting longer and longer.

This was undoubtedly very advantageous for the German Navy. Once the battleship 'Daring' was sunk, they could retarget their attack and besiege the three remaining British battleships with six battlecruisers. In this case, the chances of a quick win are even greater.

Rear Admiral Carroll also noticed the problem with the 'Daring' and couldn't help but frown.

"The 'Daring' guys, what are they doing? Wasn't it just that he was hit twice by the Germans? And it was not sunk, what is there to be discouraged. Let them give me the courage to keep fighting. This naval battle has just begun. Major General Carol ordered.

"Yes, General." The communications officer hurriedly went to send a telegram.

However, the performance of the battleship 'Daring' still did not improve much. In this naval battle, they seemed to have become the role of soy sauce until they were finally sunk by the German navy.

At 10:43, the German Navy's battlecruiser 'Leopold' formed a straddle fire at the British Navy's battleship 'Ajax'. Subsequently, the whole ship switched to concentrated fire. The situation became even more unfavorable for the British Navy.

At 10:52, the British Navy's 'Centurion', full of luck, formed a look at the straddle shot in this round of test firing. Subsequently, the 'Centurion' began to fire at a concentrated fire.

However, only two minutes later, the battlecruiser 'Goburn' was still in color, and the same straddle was formed. Two battleships, began to fire at each other with maximum firepower. As for who can get the first shot, it may depend on God's will.

"Damn! How so? "For such an outcome, Major General Carroll seems somewhat unacceptable. The battle had just begun, but they were already completely suppressed by the German navy. This was definitely not expected for him. Although they had two fewer warships than the German Navy, he believed that the excellent quality of the officers and men of the Royal Navy could make up for the numerical inferiority.

When Major General Carroll was agonizing about the current situation, good fortune always came to the general inadvertently. It was as if God had suddenly favored them.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

Two explosions sounded in succession, and I saw two huge fireballs rising from the battleship "Moltke", the flagship of the German fleet.

In this round of test firing of the battleship "King George V", it actually scored two hits at one time, which is undoubtedly a burst of luck!

One of the hit points, located on the side of the battlecruiser 'Moltke', in the middle of the hull, blew a large hole, and also detonated a bunch of secondary shells, igniting a large fire.

The sailors of the battlecruiser 'Moltke' immediately began to carry out damage control.

Another hit point is the main turret in the stern. But, sadly, although the main turret was hit, it was not able to penetrate it, and the shell exploded outside. The scattered shrapnel killed the sailors on the deck, and at the same time, the huge force of the explosion also shook the German sailors in the turret to death. But such an injury was nothing at all for a massive battlecruiser.

"Report the loss!" Lieutenant General Spee shouted.

"General, the side side was hit, there were no big problems. The third main turret was hit, not penetrated, and the gunner needed to be replaced. The staff officer quickly reported.

Lieutenant General Spee was relieved when he heard this.

"Order all units to immediately carry out loss control. The third main turret continued to fire in the shortest possible time. Lieutenant General Spee ordered.

"Yes, General."

"Hooray! Long live the British Empire! ”

On the battleship "King George V", the British naval officers and sailors were already cheering.

"God bless us, sink the damned Germans."

A smile also appeared on Major General Carroll's face. However, when the smoke cleared and the battlecruiser Moltke was almost intact, the expression on his face stiffened all of a sudden.
