"Boom! Rumble! ”

On the sea, the warships of both sides were firing desperately, smashing heavy shells into each other. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Although, both sides were battlecruisers unsuitable for a decisive battle. This makes this battle even more tragic.

"God bless the British Empire!" David? Lieutenant General Betty, constantly praying to God. Even though the battlecruisers of the British Navy were superior in numbers, he had no confidence in victory.

Maybe God heard David? Lieutenant General Betty's prayer.

In this round of test firing, the battlecruiser "Queen Mary" successfully formed a straddle firing.

"Well done!" Davy who got the news? Lieutenant General Betty couldn't help but cheer.

However, only two minutes later, the battlecruiser 'Goeben' also formed a straddle fire on the battlecruiser 'Queen Mary'. The two sides can be said to be evenly matched, and the fight is difficult to solve.

Over time, more and more warships formed straddle firing and switched to concentrated fire. This means that it is only a matter of time before the target is hit.

The luck of the British, it seems, is slightly better. So, the first hit was scored by the battleship 'Invincible' of the British Navy. A 305-mm shell, hit the 'von? Morality? The rear deck of the battlecruiser Tann was directly blasted into a large hole, which at the same time caused a raging fire. Fortunately, no other injuries were caused. Such a small wound was simply insignificant for a huge battlecruiser with a displacement of 26,000 tons.

But then, the German Navy returned to color. The battlecruiser "Leopold" hit the battlecruiser "Indomitable". A 305mm shell smashed hard into the bow of the Indomitable. Weak deck armor, which was directly penetrated, shells exploded inside the bow. Several compartments were destroyed in the explosion, and the fire began to spread.

The sailors on the battlecruiser "Indomitable" immediately carried out damage control, and countless sailors wearing gas masks rushed to the fire with water dragons, and they had to extinguish the fire as soon as possible. Otherwise, there will be serious consequences.

Two minutes later, the battlecruiser Leopold made another hit. A 305-millimeter shell hit the stern waterline of the battlecruiser Indomitable, and only a little more than 100 millimeters thick waterline armor was torn apart in an instant in front of the heavy shell, as if it were papier-mâché. After the shell exploded, a large hole was blown out in the side of the battlecruiser 'Indomitable'. Because the place where it was hit was just near the waterline, the sea water began to pour into the body of the battlecruiser Indomitable.

'God!' The Indomitable was hit. ”

"How's it going? Is the injury serious? "David? Lieutenant General Betty also became nervous. The battle had only just begun, and if the British Navy had lost their battleships, it would have been very bad news for them.

"General, the situation is not optimistic. The Indomitable's waterline was blown out of a gap. Now, loss control is underway. The staff officer reported.

"Shit! How so? Those naval designers should all be shot. "David? Lieutenant General Betty couldn't help but scold.

He seems to have forgotten that it was when the British Navy established the design philosophy of emphasizing firepower and speed over defence. Sir Fisher when he was Lord of the Admiralty. At that time, in order to better maintain their sea power and ensure the safety of their colonies scattered around the world, Britain needed to have fast and long-lasting warships. It is precisely because of this that such a design idea has been established. This has made the British Navy, for many years, have been following this design idea. Now, it's time for them to taste the bitter fruit.

A few minutes later, the Indomitable reported to the flagship that their hull had been heavily flooded, that the hull had tilted, and that if the fight continued, they would most likely be sunk if they were hit again. So, the captain of the battlecruiser "Indomitable" asked to withdraw from the battle.

For this request, David? Lieutenant General Betty struggled for a moment before nodding.

Originally, the British Navy would not have an advantage in this naval battle, and if there was one less warship, it would put them at a greater disadvantage.

However, we must not let the Indomitable enter the battle with injuries. In that case, I'm afraid the Indomitable will be sunk soon. At that time, the British Navy will have to be forever short of a capital ship.

The battered battlecruiser "Indomitable", withdrawn from the battle and, escorted by a destroyer, left the battlefield. The German Navy did not pursue it. For them, defeating the British fleet, this is the most important thing.

"It's good, although we haven't been able to sink it, but forcing it to withdraw from the battlefield is also a victory. The British have one less warship, the pressure on us will be one point less, and the possibility of victory will be one point more. Lieutenant General Hipperl said with a smile.

Vice Admiral Spee nodded: "Let the 'Leopold', the 'Indomitable' attacking the British, get rid of it as soon as possible." ”

The lead ships of the German Navy were three fewer than those of the British Navy. Therefore, they were to sink or damage as many of the three battlecruisers of the British Navy as possible. In this way, they will be able to further establish the victory.

Although, in the ensuing battle, the battlecruisers of the British Navy also scored several hits. However, the battle cruisers of the German Navy had strong defenses, and the British Navy had problems with shells, so they were able to inflict only minor injuries on the battle cruisers of the German Navy. And the battlecruisers of the German Navy, as long as they made a hit, were basically able to inflict heavy damage on the battleships of the British Navy. That's the benefit of being strong defensively.

Although it was already noon, everyone didn't care about eating, and everyone was engrossed in this naval battle, even if they were hungry, they didn't care.

At 12:14, the German Navy's battlecruiser "Blucher" successfully hit the British Navy's "Indefatigable" battlecruiser in this round of salvo, and hit two shells at once.

A 305-mm shell pierced the side armor of the Indefatigable, making a wide opening on its right side. Another shell, which directly penetrated its No. 2 main turret. With less than 180 mm of armor, it simply could not withstand 305 mm shells. After the shell penetrated the armor of the turret, it directly penetrated the defense of the ammunition depot, and then exploded.

"Boom!"

A huge explosion sounded like thunder. By the time the fire and smoke had cleared, the battlecruiser Intreplent was in a dilapidated state.
