As expected by both sides, the former dreadnoughts showed a decline as soon as they fought against the Italian fleet, but at this time, Georgeleg's life was not easy, taking advantage of this time, the Italian dreadnoughts and ultra-dreadnoughts were still racing against time to tilt the deadly bullet rain towards each other. Long before the French pre-dreadnought launched the charge, the situation of the Lone Pull was already very bad, although the visibility on the sea surface was reduced due to the fire of hundreds of large-caliber guns, but it was clear that under the focused care of as many as 20 guns, in less than half an hour after the start of the battle, this real French first-class dreadnought had reached the time of running out of oil!

Fortunately, the ship's ammunition depot was not hit, so he was hit all the time, the core compartment was pierced several times, the internal boiler and main engine made a tooth-sore sound under the ravages of shrapnel, and the pipelines were scattered by flames and explosions. Only two of the six majestic twin turrets on the deck were usable after a long battle, and the rest were either broken down or shattered. It has to be said that the placement of 6 turrets on one battleship is too compact. Sometimes, a single shell can cause two adjacent knapsack turrets to be destroyed..........

Rumble! The Lone Horn shook again...... I don't know if it was because of the roll of the ship or because of the cannon just now, the officer in the control tower felt the shock of the battleship, and some tearing and cracking sounds came from the battleship under his feet, like a whispering demon in the abyss. The captain of the Lonely Pullout knew that their final moment was coming, and the bow of the ship was shattered by 14-inch guns. At the same time, because the propellant in the two turrets in the bow of the ship was ignited. So the spreading fire completely blocked the damage management team's path to the bow of the ship. A third of the front part of the hull was already engulfed in flames and smoke. At least 5 large holes were punched out of the waterline part of the entire battleship. The hull tilt has already reached 15 degrees. The speed was reduced to around 10 knots.

"Perhaps we will be the first dreadnought lost by the Entente." Look at the rising columns of water on the surface of the sea. The captain of the Lonely Pull couldn't help but smile bitterly. But at this moment. A loud bang from behind him overwhelmed all the sounds on the battlefield. The crew of the Lone Pull looked behind them, and found that almost all of their vision directly behind them was blocked by a huge curtain of water!

"God, what happened to the earth?" A French officer prayed and looked at the French battleship in the back in horror, the sound of the explosion was too loud, and the resulting detonation even made the Lone Pull, 500 meters away, feel a strong impact, and the air waves knocked on the hull of the Lone Pull over and over again, although it could not cause any substantial losses, but it was still terrifying. It's like this from 500 meters away, so what will happen to the parties? …。

With the gradual dissipation of the splash. The French were horrified to find that the French was actually blown in two by a powerful explosion! The entire bow of the ship, including the two turrets in front, has disappeared from the sea. And the second half of the hull gradually sank to the bottom of the sea! "What the hell is going on?" Look at the suddenly sunken French in front of you. George Leger's heart tightened! He didn't expect the French battleship to sink so suddenly!

"The bow of the French seems to have been hit just now, but it is not the turret position, it should be the torpedo compartment below the bow deck, only in this way can there be enough energy to blow the battleship into two sections." A staff officer next to him voiced his opinion. IN FACT, THE STAFF OFFICER WAS RIGHT, A SHELL FROM THE ST. MARTIN ACCURATELY HIT THE FRONT OF THE HULL OF THE FRENCH, AND EASILY PENETRATED THE DOME ARMOR LESS THAN 50MM THICK, AND FINALLY EXPLODED IN THE TORPEDO COMPARTMENT, AND THE VIOLENT EXPLOSION NOT ONLY BLEW UP THE HIGH-PRESSURE GAS CYLINDER USED TO LAUNCH THE TORPEDO. The resulting flames and detonations ignited the torpedoes of the entire torpedo compartment, and the amount of explosives in one torpedo was equivalent to the charge of more than 10 armor-piercing shells, and the serial explosion of a dozen torpedoes was enough to put any battleship in a situation from which it could never recover! This kind of loss could not be saved, neither the battleship nor the crew was swallowed up by the raging explosions and sea water in an extreme time, and finally disappeared without a trace. …………。

"Your Excellency, the situation of the Lone Commander is also very bad. If nothing else, whether the two Italian super-dreadnoughts attacked the Lone or turned to the Paris. The tide of battle will be one-sided. Even if we have a certain advantage over the Austro-Hungarian fleet, the rapid collapse of the front fleet will lead to a desperate situation for the entire fleet! "The captain of the Brestany. Rear Admiral Pierre said anxiously. In his opinion, the French has been destroyed, so the free Italian fleet will already destroy the Lone or the Paris behind it in a very short time, and if it loses three dreadnoughts at once, the French fleet will not even be able to go!

"No, wait, if we have the chance, we can recover our losses from the Oli." George Legge shook his head and said. "MOREOVER, NOW WE CAN'T GO, WE SIMPLY CAN'T CROSS THE OPPOSING SIDE'S BATTLE LINE BEFORE THE ROUT OF THE DREADNOUGHT FLEET IN FRONT OF THE OPPOSING SIDE, BEFORE OUR BATTLESHIPS BLOCK THE 350MM GUNS OF THE ITALIANS." After that...... He looked at the two Italian battleships that were facing the dreadnought attacks of Italy directly in front of him.

Let what Pierre said make sense, according to the current situation, the collapse of the main fleet is not far off, 3 super dreadnoughts plus 4 dreadnoughts to fight the opponent 6 super dreadnoughts and 5 dreadnoughts really have no chance of winning, and it is useless to fight, but in the same way, George Leg also has his own ideas, although the front team is in a bitter battle at the moment. But his rear team of 3 super dreadnoughts attacked the Austro-Hungarian Navy's 2 dreadnoughts and 2 super dreadnoughts fought well. …。

The Austro-Hungarian fleet, which has been in Turkey for a long time, has experienced fierce battles in the Aegean Sea in the early stage and the "abuse" of Turkey's backward basic conditions, and its combat effectiveness itself has been greatly reduced, and the level of the Austro-Hungarian Navy itself is relatively low, so the Austro-Hungarian fleet, which has the advantage in fighting around, cannot defeat the three super dreadnoughts of the French!

If it's a simple shelling. It was very difficult to sink a dreadnought, and it took the Italians nearly half an hour to sink the French in 2 to 1, and it was even more difficult for the French to sink the Austro-Hungarian in an almost evenly matched situation! However, Georges-Legge clearly had a backhand, that is, the four destroyers that had been useless, and George-Legge found that the Austro-Hungarian fleet was hardly equipped with auxiliary warships. The Ito-Austrian fleet was already inferior to the French, and when Tycho concentrated the auxiliary ships, the Austro-Hungarian fleet was even more lacking in auxiliary ships, and in this case, five armored cruisers had a high chance of attacking the torpedo boats. Of course, whether these outfits can come back is no longer in his consideration!

And another reason, as he said, is that the current French fleet really can't go! The speed of the Guba is only about 10 knots, and the fleet can go if it wants, and directly throw away the Guba and the former dreadnought fleet that is responsible for containing the opponent, and the capital ships of both Italy and Austria have no losses. And the loss of two dreadnoughts for the French fleet was absolutely unacceptable for Georg Leger! These ex-dreadnoughts and lone ships have become sunk costs, and in order to make their deaths more worthwhile, George Legge must hold on as well! If the Austro-Hungarian fleet could be forced to withdraw from the battle, it would not be impossible for the French fleet to turn defeat into victory! …。

"Give a signal to the reserve fleet, and hope that they will do what they do as their ship name is!" George Legge ordered. In a short time, 4 Glorious-class armored cruisers that had been playing soy sauce sailed out of the formation with as many as 20 destroyers of various types, and their target was the Austro-Hungarian fleet, which was struggling to parry!

When the four slender figures quickly rushed towards the Austro-Hungarian fleet, the battle-experienced Count Spey realized the danger at the first time. Having participated in the Sino-Russian War, he clearly realized that in the case of the main artillery fire being pinned down by the opponent's warships, a large-scale lightning strike could at least delay or organize the actions of the opponent's fleet. And if the opponent has a large number of armored cruisers to cover, then the high-speed destroyer will approach faster and the threat will be greater! …。

"The fleet evases, concentrates all its firepower to attack the opposing cruisers and destroyers, pay attention to maintaining formation, and all destroyers intercept them! Target the opposing destroyer! "In a matter of seconds, Count Spee gave a series of orders. However, at this time, with the addition of this new force, the situation of this local battlefield was reversed in a short period of time! Nearly 2 dozen warships of various types rushed towards the Austro-Hungarian fleet at a speed of more than 20 knots, and behind them there were as many as 27 14-inch guns roaring! …。

At this time, the Spee's fleet was launched to try to maintain the formation with all its might, and evade the ...... Use dense firepower to stop your opponents. It was not only Vice Admiral Spee who discovered the crisis, but also found that the rear guard had a tendency to be broken down in the front of Tycho, and if the Austro-Hungarian fleet was heavily damaged or withdrew from the battle, then the unlucky Italians were the Italians, so the Italian vice admiral immediately ordered the two Count Cavour battleships at the end of the team to abandon the target and help the Austro-Kharid fleet block this wave of deadly and fierce attacks!

44 12-INCH NAVAL GUNS AND 16 350MM NAVAL GUNS REDUCED THE ELEVATION ANGLE. These heavy guns were fired almost flat to meet the second decisive charge of the French! "Maximum rate of fire, fire!" At the first moment, as many as 60 heavy guns began to rain down deadly bullets on 6 armored cruisers! On average, an armored cruiser is attacked by 10 main guns! Because it is aimed straight and the distance is very close, all the heavy guns have little to no correction, and the gunners can even use the turret's own gun scope to observe and shoot! On average, a capital ship hits an armored cruiser. This result can be imagined! One after another, the fire dragons flew out almost against the surface of the sea, and the fireballs crossed the sky and could fall to the target area in a matter of seconds. …。
