The Amsterdam successfully sent a 14-inch armor-piercing bullet into the opponent's power compartment and sealed the throat with one shot! The Blucher continued to tremble in the violent vibration, and clouds of high-temperature and high-pressure steam and flames continued to erupt from various places on the battleship, and the speed of the entire battleship dropped sharply, although the turret was still fighting back, although not a shell fell on the Amsterdam, but the battleship was dead, and even if it was not sunk by the artillery, it would be destroyed by the British light cruisers that caught up.

However, the Blucher was definitely not the first battleship to be sunk, and if those camouflage ships were warships, then it should be the camouflage ship known as the "Lütsov". Under the fierce fire attack of the Seven Provinces, the camouflage ship, which had almost no armored defense, was pierced by the powerful 14-inch guns! Two huge holes appeared in the waterline section of the hull, and the shell successfully shredded the hull plate at the waterline and then destroyed all the compartments in its path all the way down, and came out below the waterline at the other end. Although the Americans stabilized explosives and excellent fuses did not excite...... But the irrepressible ingress of water allowed the camouflage ship to quickly tilt.

While Blucher was still fighting back in vain, the "Lütsov" was sunk! The Dutch and the British were taken aback by the speed of the sink, and no one expected that the Lytsov, which had been majestic in the battle of the Dogle sandbank, would be hung up like this! Of course, what I didn't expect was that this was a civilian ship. The Germans camouflaged it very well, in addition to the appearance, the Germans also added a fireworks effect, so that in the fierce battle, the Dutch could not find the catty ......... in the first place.

Unlike the excited Dutch and British, Hippert at this time can be described as falling into an ice cave. He originally only had 4 warships, and the opponent had nine. As a result, after such a dozen, it became 3 to 9! This time it's a real life-and-death situation! Two Dutch fast battleships attacked in the immediate vicinity. Their artillery could clearly inflict fatal damage on German fast battleships. There is also a British fleet attacking in the distance, and staying on the battlefield for an extra second at this time is fatal! Hipper must decide what to do at this critical juncture!

"Send a message to the Goeben and the Von der Tenen. Let them evacuate at full speed with the flagship. Light cruisers and mine-strike ships cover the evacuation of the fleet! "In the end, Hipper decided to abandon the battle-wounded and camouflaged battleships and evacuate at full speed under the cover of auxiliary ships. Hipper's four light cruisers and 16 minestorms were his last chance to evacuate safely, and they rushed out of the tail of the fleet and split into two groups, one to intercept the two Dutch fast battleships in the vicinity, while the other group rushed towards Betty's fleet, who would trade their lives for Hipper's evacuation time for even a minute.

Braving the artillery fire, the German mine-striking ships launched a decisive charge. This is destined to be a point of no return. The powerful British fleet did not even use the capital ship to move, more than a dozen destroyers were already horizontal in front of the German torpedo boats, and a series of shells fired by 75mm anti-mine guns like a tide continued to explode on the sea, and the vast majority of German torpedo boats were destroyed or forced to release torpedoes as soon as possible before they could get close. The Dutch were a little scrambling, because only the capital ships were merged into the Royal Navy, and the two Dutch warships were not equipped with the corresponding formed escort ships, and more importantly, they were not equipped with the corresponding convoy warships. When they rushed out on the fly, they were .........accompanied by only a few destroyers.

The fanned torpedoes forced the Dutch ships to turn to evade, but even then the Blucher was dead. At this time, his speed was only a little more than 8 knots, and he struggled like a dying lone wolf, but there was nothing he could do, except for a shell that hit the barrel of the Amsterdam, the 12-inch 45L main gun did little damage to this cutting-edge Dutch battleship. The German sacrifice was not worthless, at least they pulled away from the British fleet to 18km! …。

"It's safe for now." Looking at the German torpedo boats that were constantly exploding in the rear. Hipper looked at the rest of his fleet helplessly, although the loss of the Blucher made him feel a little sad, but it was okay to return three. Hopefully, the time he has earned will create opportunities for the Scheer fleet. However, just when he was just a little relaxed, a 15-inch shell fired from 18km away fell near the starboard side of the Von der Tann, this semi-armor-piercing shell was not bounced off the surface of the water because of the relatively large angle of incidence, but plunged into the water, and then formed a water bullet, after sailing 15 meters underwater, hit the starboard rear of the Von der Tann! With a loud bang, a large number of shrapnel and high-temperature and high-pressure bubbles successfully shattered the already thin underwater protection system at the rear of von der Tann, and after penetrating the empty compartment on the outer layer and the liquid tank on the inside, the turbulent sea water poured into the rear compartment, and caused the propeller on the right side of the battleship to stop ..........

"Damn!" Looking at the Von der Tann, which has already fallen into tailing...... Hipper felt his heart bleed! It is true that a bullet in the water will cause a large amount of water to enter after being hit. However, in general, if there is no cascading effect, such as detonating ammunition or torpedoes, the excellent watertight compartment layout can also limit water ingress. But at this time, it would be really fatal to slow down as soon as the water entered, although the combat power of the Von der Tann was still about 8 percent, but Hipper knew that the Von der Tann could not go back!

"Long live Germany, long live the German High Seas Fleet!" Soon, the captain of the Von der Tann realized his situation, gave Hippert a farewell signal with the flag, and then turned and rushed towards the rushing British fleet, at this time he was already a burden, if he didn't leave, I am afraid that the other two super dreadnought fast battleships would not be able to go! Up to now, the German Navy can really run one by one!

"Full speed out!" In less than half an hour, Hipper gave the order to retreat again. At this time, after abandoning all the low-speed battleships, the maximum speed of the two Moltke-class fast battleships can reach more than 26 knots, except for the fastest Tiger, which can catch up, the remaining battleships are at most flat! It's okay to go, but Hipper knows that maybe from today onwards, the fast fleet of the High Seas Fleet may become a thing of the past, there are only 4 ships on his side, and the situation on Scheer's side is uncertain, if one of the Lyutsov or the Seydlitz is sunk, he won't even have a detachment of ships in his hands! And in the subsequent shipbuilding plan, Hipper did not see the construction plan of the fast battleship ..........

"We have experienced glory, and now even if we have to face death, we have to do the last thing!" At this point, Hipper did not leave the ground, but continued to maintain his foundation with the British, and the last two Moltke-class fast battleships lured the huge shark of Betty's fleet away from the battlefield like bait. And at this time. Betty also thinks she has destroyed 4 of Hipper's capital ships!

"General Scheer, we have done our best, we have bought you the most precious time with our blood and warships, I hope you will not disappoint me and my men." Hipper did not send a report, and at this time, in order to eliminate all possible channels for leakage, Hipper's fleet could only accept that it could not be reported, so Hipper only took note of this transcript. Now Hipper really doesn't know if he can leave safely!

"General Scheer, where are you now?!" Hipper's mind continued to meditate. And just when Hipper was exhausted by Betty, Scheer's main fleet finally found Jericho's large fleet under the guidance of the airship, and because of the changeable weather in the North Sea, when Scheer approached Jericho, because of the weather and the relatively hidden position of the breakthrough, Jericho did not find the fleet rushing from the northeast at the first time! And when the British found out that there was a rather large fleet coming from the northeast, the British fleet had no way to retreat! …………。

"Get ready to take the enemy and ask Lieutenant General Betty how his situation is." Looking at the huge fleet that suddenly appeared on his flank, Jericho was very surprised in his heart, the other party must be the German High Seas Fleet, but Jericho really couldn't understand, how did they evade Betty's reconnaissance? What I can't understand is that Scheer is so bold and dares to directly fight the Grand Fleet under his command! I have 18 battleships in my hands! According to their own intelligence, the German High Seas Fleet had only 16 capital ships, and the Hippers side had 6...... There are only 10 ships on Scheer's side, what do you want to do with such a lineup?

"And what is the purpose of Scheer's presence here?" Jericho looked at the main force of the German High Seas Fleet, which was getting closer and closer in the distance and had no intention of retreating, and couldn't help but whisper to himself, this is not in accordance with the norm! However, if you don't understand it, you still have to do it when it's time to do it, the order to prepare to engage the enemy has been issued, and the British fleet will turn right to the south in turn to pull out a battle line, so that it is also beneficial to engage the enemy, and sailing in a southeastern direction can shorten the distance between the main fleet and Betty's fleet. so that the opponent can be flanked, and if the battle line is pulled to the northwest, the distance between the battle line and Betty's fleet will become farther and farther ..........

"This move is like the battle in which Yang Yonglin hit Makanov in the Second Sino-Russian War that year, the main force of the High Seas Fleet made a detour to the rear of Betty's fleet, and if he didn't keep up, or missed, Betty's fleet would face the entire German Navy. But the question arises again, Yang Yonglin implemented this plan to determine the location of Makanov's fleet, but this time, why was Sher able to determine the location of Betty's fleet? This was definitely arranged in advance, otherwise, it would be impossible for the slow battleship to make a big circle and copy the back road! There's definitely something in it! "Just as the fleet unfolded one after another, Jericho's worries not only did not subside, but became more intense, the color of the conspiracy was too serious!
