"Oh God! Why haven't the battleships of the Germans been sunk yet? We're running out of time! Admiral John Jericho was secretly frightened. Although, in the heat of battle, their warships also continued to get hits. However, at most, some minor injuries were inflicted on the battleships of the German Navy, and there was still a long way to go before sinking the battleships of the German Navy.

"General, the armor of the German battleships is too thick, and it is very difficult to sink their battleships!" Lieutenant General David Betty said.

The battleships of the German Navy used a focused defense. As long as those important parts are not penetrated, it will be difficult for the battleship to be sunk even if it is riddled with holes.

Admiral John Jericho nodded, from this fierce naval battle, it has been proved that the Germans are correct in the design of the battleship. In contrast, the British Navy's emphasis on firepower and speed over defensive design has been proven wrong.

"Boom!"

A dazzling burst of fire erupted on the British Navy's battleship Dreadnought, the German Navy's battleship Frontier Governor, which scored the first hit of the naval battle. A 380-mm shell, which hit the superstructure of the battleship Dreadnought. The shell exploded, directly in the upper hull of the battleship Dreadnought, blowing a large hole. At the same time, a raging fire was caused. Such an injury, although not fatal for the battleship Intrepid, was obviously not pleasant.

"Damn, the Dreadnought was hit!" Admiral John Jericho couldn't help but scold.

Lieutenant General David Betty's face was also a little ugly.

They all knew that the Dreadnought was to the King-class battleships of the German Navy what an old man in his twilight was to a young man. The difference in strength between the two sides is too big!

The 380 mm guns of the King-class battleship, if they hit the vital point of the battleship Intrepid, only one shell was enough to inflict heavy damage on the battleship Intrepid, or even sink it.

After being hit, the damage management personnel on the battleship Intrepid immediately carried out damage control. But almost all of them were pale. They knew that after being hit once, there would soon be a second hit, and a third hit would be a deadly threat to the battleship Dreadnought.

Sure enough, three minutes later, the battleship Frontier Governor hit the battleship Dreadnought again. A 380-mm shell hit the stern of the battleship Dreadnought. The violent explosion directly blew up the stern of the ship, not only blowing up the steering gear, but also blowing up a propeller. This made the Dreadnought battleship slower and slower, while also losing its ability to steer. What's worse is that the sea water is pouring into the battleship from the big hole in the stern.

In such a situation, loss control is no longer of much use, at most it is only a little to slow down the sinking of the battleship.

The captain of the battleship Dreadnought immediately asked Admiral John Jericho to abandon the ship.

However, Admiral John Jericho stubbornly did not agree. He hoped that the battleship Dreadnought would hold on, and in that case, it would be able to hold back the firepower of a terrifying German battleship. Otherwise, the battleship would have been able to fire at the other ships, which would have made the situation of the British Navy even more difficult in this battle.

In the face of the almost ruthless orders of Admiral John Jericho, the British naval officers and men of the battleship Intrepid had no choice but to hold on. They cursed Admiral John Jericho while they managed to save themselves.

It's just that when the battleship Frontier Governor hit the battleship Dreadnought for the third time, the battleship completely lost the possibility of survival. The violent explosion made all the efforts of the damage management personnel in vain. The sea water poured into the battleship even more violently, causing the battleship to sink faster.

Soon, the battleship Dreadnought sank into the sea, and the bow was raised high and lifted out of the water.

"Click!" The keel of the battleship Intrepid broke directly because it could not withstand the force of such a blow. The whole battleship was broken in two. The ruined hull quickly sank into the sea.

The sinking of the battleship Dreadnought made the ratio of the number of battleships on the battle line 12 to 14. Although the British Navy still had an advantage, it was gradually disappearing. The German Navy, on the other hand, was moving from a disadvantage to an advantage.

After sinking the battleship Intrepid, the battleship Frontier Governor immediately aimed its guns at the battleship Giant, and together with the battleship Elector, flanked it.

At this moment, the battleship Giant is not in a good situation. During the period when the battleship Intrepid was taken out, the battleship Giant also ate a 380-mm shell. A large part of the side was blown off, although it was above the waterline, but it was enough to make the officers and men of the battleship Giant frightened.

When the battleship Frontier Governor also opened fire on it, the British naval officers and sailors on the battleship Giant were even more completely desperate. When they were weak and attacked by two King-class battleships, it was natural to imagine what the final result would be.

Two minutes later, the battleship Giant was hit, and the shell was fired from the battleship Elector. They didn't seem to want the battleship Frontier Governor to steal their own gains, so this time it was a very good performance.

380-mm shells, which hit the main turret on the side of the battleship Giant. Although the Giant-class battleship has five main turrets, it is oddly arranged. Along the central axis of the battleship, only three main turrets were arranged, and the other two, located on the sides of the battleship. This allowed the Giant-class battleships to concentrate a maximum of four main turrets when firing in one direction.

The 280-mm thick turret armor, in front of a 380-mm shell, was no different from a papier-mâché shell, and was easily torn apart. The shell exploded, along with two 305-mm shells in the turret and several hundred kilograms of propellant. The entire turret was destroyed in the explosion. At the same time, the fire went along the fire door that was not closed, and went straight to the ammunition depot under the turret. You know, in the ammunition depot, there are still hundreds of 305-mm shells. Once these shells are detonated, the fate can be imagined.
