"It's good that the British finally took out a battleship. On the 1st battle line, the British have already killed two battleships, so let's not lag behind them too much! In that case, everyone's faces don't look good. Lieutenant General Hipperl said with a smile.

"General, we have already sunk the North Dakota, and soon we will be able to sink more British battleships." The officer said. He seems confident of winning.

In fact, every officer and sailor of the German Navy believed that they would win this battle.

"The battleship Nevada of the Americans, the defense is really strong. It's a shame that our 343mm guns didn't be able to penetrate their turret armor! Lieutenant General Hipperer said helplessly.

Otherwise, that shot alone would have been enough to cost the battleship Nevada extremely dearly.

"General, the armor of the Americans' Nevada-class battleships is very thick, especially the turret armor is more than 400 millimeters thick. Typical hard bones, if you want to gnaw on, it is very difficult! The officer said.

Lieutenant General Hipper nodded: "Ask General Spee when they can arrive." The 380-mm guns of the Mackensen and De Fringer classes, perhaps, can crack the turtle shells of the Americans. ”

"If there is a battle at a distance of 10,000 meters, the 380-mm main gun of fifty times the caliber should be able to withstand the turret armor of the US ** ship, and there is still no big problem!" The officer said.

At this moment, Vice Admiral Spee, who was leading 11 battle cruisers of the German Navy, was coming. Once they arrived, the occupation would be even more disadvantageous to the Combined Fleet. The defenses of those battlecruisers, although slightly worse than those of battleships, were also very strong. And the firepower is very strong, which will make the combined fleet lose the war, and it is very likely that it will be completely annihilated.

On the battleship Revenge, the flagship of the British Navy, Admiral John Jellicoe and Vice Admiral David Betty were very ugly. Over time, the superiority of the Combined Fleet in the number of capital ships is being lost step by step. It made both of them feel that victory was gradually moving away from them.

"General, General Martin reports, they have lost a battleship. The other warships were almost all suppressed by the Germans. The situation is very unfavorable for us! Lieutenant General David Betty said.

Admiral John Jericho nodded: "It seems that we are still taking it for granted. Otherwise, this battle would not have been fought like this. The Germans were too strong to defeat them even if we gathered all the forces we could.

Admiral John Jericho's words were filled with frustration and despair. This time, they had mustered all the forces they could. If the German Navy cannot be defeated this time, then there will never be a chance to defeat the German Navy again. Admiral John Jericho knew that the British Empire would be completely destroyed because of this defeat. Despite their best efforts, they still can't stop it.

Lieutenant General David Betty opened his mouth to comfort Admiral John Jericho, but he suddenly didn't know what to say. Because, what Admiral John Jericho said, is the truth. The current situation is indeed too critical for them.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

Violent explosions rang out, and the battle at the end of the battle line intensified. Five battleships of the German Navy fought against two battleships of the German Navy, and the two sides were evenly matched. This made the French very ashamed, and at the same time made Admiral John Jericho and others very annoyed. If the French Navy had performed a little better, perhaps the situation would have been different. However, it is clear that it is no longer useful to say this.

The battleship King Albert of the German Navy once again made a hit. Two 343-mm shells, which hit the battleship Normandy. A shell that pierced the waterline armor on the side of the Normandy. Despite the fact that the battleship Normandy's waterline armor was 300 mm thick, it still could not withstand the 343 mm shells fired from the 50 times the caliber of the main guns.

The more lethal injuries came from the boiler room. One shell, having penetrated the armor, exploded directly in the boiler compartment. The violent explosion destroyed all the boilers in the boiler compartment. A large amount of high-temperature steam leaked out, killing the sailors inside. At the same time, the destruction of the boiler compartment caused the battleship to lose power and its speed became slower and slower.

You must know that in a naval battle, the explosion of the boiler compartment caused the damage second only to the explosion of the ammunition depot. The battleship Normandy, which was hit hard in an instant.

"Damn, we're leaving the Normandy right now and going to continue directing the battle on the Flender!" Admiral Lame made his decision immediately. The Flender was not attacked, so it was safer.

The battleship King Albert of the German Navy seized this opportunity and frantically fired at the battleship Normandy, intending to sink it.

Before Admiral Lame could return to the battleship Flanders, the battleship Normandy was constantly hit. Having lost speed, the battleship was no different from a dead fish floating on the surface. The battleship King Albert of the German Navy could easily hit him.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Violent explosions continued to sound on the battleship Normandy, and the battleship's injuries continued to worsen.

In the space of five minutes, the battleship Normandy received 8 shells. This was undoubtedly a fatal injury for the battleship Normandy.

Soon, the battleship Normandy was badly damaged and suffered great damage to its hull. The entire battleship had been battered, and only one of the four main turrets could continue to fire. Everything else was destroyed. Sea water was pouring into the battleship from the hole. Even the damage management staff were desperate for such a serious injury.

This made the battleship Normandy quickly sink into the sea.

The French Navy now has only 4 battleships left. And of all the battleships on the 1st battle line of the Combined Fleet, there are only 12 left. This figure is the same as the 1st battle line of the German Navy. However, in terms of combat effectiveness, it was the first battle line of the joint attack, which was completely suppressed.
