After the Seven Provinces sank to the bottom of the sea, the two Longxu-class battlecruisers and the Scharnhorst began to concentrate their fire on the Danton, Glory, and Amsterdam. When the Russian-Dutch fleet attacked the Gneisenau, the Huaxia fleet also sent shells to the opposing warships. There are no more than 3 guns left in the main guns of the Amsterdam, which is no longer a powerful force for the capital ship. So not the first target. And the remaining two Russian warships were taken care of.

Under the concentrated fire of as many as 16 12-inch guns and 6 11-inch guns, the first to suffer was the Glorious. The attack of more than a dozen heavy guns was simply not something that this second-rate dreadnought could withstand. The explosion of the drama liè resounded throughout the battleship. From time to time, orange fireballs rose over the battleship. The huge battleship trembled under the shelling again and again. The sound of metal shattering and cabin collapse was chilling.

Just as the Gneisenau was slowly sinking into the sea, the Glory was already covered in bruises. The two turrets at the bow of the ship have been transformed into two huge flares...... This was caused by the penetration of two armor-piercing shells from the side, in order to increase the rate of fire, the Russians stacked a large number of shells and propellant packets on the gun emplacement, and the two shells ignited the propellant and shells in them respectively, and the explosion of the turret shredded the yiche in the turret, and even the strong frontal armor of the turret was shocked by the explosion of the turret. At this time, there was no trace of the original turret in the turret position, only some red-hot steel plates and damaged parts ..........

The 11-inch thick armor stubbornly protected the ship's hull. Although it has not been penetrated for the time being, it has been repeatedly hit by naval guns. Large plates of steel began to detach from the hull, and the impact and explosion were transmitted through the armor to the back plate, and the nails and back plate used to hold the steel plates in place were shattered or detached. Even the frontal armor fell from the hull. The raging sea water poured into the interior of the battleship along the cracks.

This is also true for the heavy armor-protected hull amidships. Only the light armor belt protects the head and tail into a honeycomb, not only the 12-inch heavy gun can be easily penetrated, but even the 6-inch gun equipped with a cap can also carve holes in it. The Russian damage control team has been struggling to delay the demise of this battleship, but at this moment the battleship is on the verge of falling apart, and the entire battleship has been hit by large-caliber guns at least 15 times! The hull tilt angle has also been jīng to 19 degrees! At such an angle, the main gun was unusable. And the firing angle of the secondary gun was also compressed to the limit. In just over half an hour, after the battle of the Seven Provinces sank, the Glory will follow in the footsteps of the Seven Provinces!

Yi cut went very well. But at this moment. Something quite unexpected happened. While the Huaxia fleet was besieging the Glory, a shell fired from the Dandong fell into the water less than 20 meters from the bow chord of the Scharnhorst, and it was supposed that the shell should have exploded directly. But who would have thought. This shell after entering the water. The fuse of the shell did not open, and after the shell entered the water, the body of the shell gradually straightened, like a torpedo, and flew into the bow of the Scharnhorst! …。

Generally speaking, the destructive power of torpedoes is mainly due to the explosion of explosives in the mine head, which produces huge high-pressure, high-temperature bubbles to crush the hull. The real impact force is actually not very large. Not even the hull of the ship could be broken. But the underwater bullet is different, although the warhead is far less powerful than the torpedo, but it is an armor-piercing shell, not to mention the hull, even the internal compartments and highly elastic steel can be penetrated one by one, this underwater bullet easily shredded the underwater protection system of the Scharnhorst. And there was an explosion outside the liquid tank!

The exploding shell exploded like a small torpedo close to the last layer of highly elastic steel. The entire lightning protection next door was completely shattered, and that's not all. After the explosion of this shell was the torpedo compartment of the Scharnhorst! Although the torpedo in it has long been removed, the compressed air cylinder stored inside has not been removed, you must know that compressed air can also explode! …。

As a result, dozens of cylinders exploded like this! Originally, the water bullet made a wide hole in the sidestring of the Scharnhorst. And after the explosion of the compressed air cylinder inside, the water ingress of the entire bow of the ship was uncontrollable! This situation is exactly the same as Xu Jie's Lu Zoufu on that plane! Lütsov also sank because the bow of the ship could not be controlled. In terms of the number of hits, the Seydlitz is more than Lütsov, and in terms of tonnage and design level, Lütsov is stronger than Sedlitz. But in the end, the Lütsov, which was shot in the water, did not return, and the Seydlitz staggered back to the port of Kiel! …。

The mine protection system of the German battleship was actually incomplete, although relying on the larger vertical body and subdivided compartments made the whole battleship have a high level of protection, compared with the super dreadnought British battleship, a German battle cruiser hit two mines and went back alive. But good performance doesn't mask this lack of defense. The mine protection system of the German battleship had only two layers...... One outer empty tank and one inner tank. The ideal lightning protection should be at least three layers, the outer layer of empty silos, the middle layer of liquid tanks, and the inner layer of empty silos. The innermost empty compartment is used to hold the remaining energy generated by the explosion of a bullet in the water or a torpedo, and to weaken the energy that hits the lightning wall as much as possible, only in this way can it be considered complete.

After being hit by this very lucky shell, the bow of the Scharnhorst was almost completely submerged, and the battleship was heavily tilted. The two guns of the A turret were also unusable due to angle problems, and the combat effectiveness of the entire battleship was greatly reduced. Even the speed of the ship was reduced due to the ingress of water and tilting. The war has reached this point, it can be said that victory is in sight, but the Scharnhorst encountered this incident, if it is a standard 20,000-ton dreadnought, it may be able to continue, but the Scharnhorst only has a displacement of 15,000. To put it bluntly, it's a larger cruiser. The shell also had an after-effect that was enough to bring a deadly ..........

The sinking of the Glory and Amsterdam is a foregone conclusion. The two battleships were handed over to the torpedo boats and the light cruisers after they had been almost captured, and the two battleships were now floating on the surface of the sea like two piles of garbage. The hull is heavily tilted, and the superstructure resembles a huge torch. After several torpedo boats reported that the Russian troops were withdrawn, they approached and fired torpedoes at a distance of less than 1KM. These two Russian battleships were sent to the bottom of the sea.

As a result, the only one still fighting in this sea area is the Dandong. The battleship, which had badly damaged the Scharnhorst, began to chase after the Scharnhorst, which had lost much of its mobility. Ignoring the attacks of the two Longxu classes, they desperately want to bring this battleship with them! However, in terms of output, the two Longxu-class battleships are still much higher than the Dandong, which is a half-way monk. AT A DISTANCE OF 6KM. The two capital ships of the Huaxia Fleet without interference played with accuracy comparable to training! Even in the most accurate round, the Long Xu shot 8 salvos at a time and hit the opponent 3 shots! Three huge fireballs exploded on the Danton almost simultaneously, and one of the shells hit the hull amidships, causing the two main turrets to malfunction due to the vibration. Another shell destroyed the compass bridge of the Danton. A storm of fire swept through the surrounding compartments, killing all the Russian officers and men inside, and the last shell hit the chimney. Blow this chimney to pieces directly ..........

"The wǒ men had done their best, and 5 of the 7 main guns on the fighting side were destroyed. The wǒs lost the ability to fight back at the end. The main engine of the battleship has been damaged, and most of the boilers have been extinguished due to water ingress and shrapnel blows. However, the wǒs finally dealt a heavy blow to the Scharnhorst, and although it was still floating on the surface, its bow was almost completely destroyed. And there was a very serious first tilt. I guess I can't go back. The captain of the Dandong wrote in his diary at the last moments. …。

Subsequently, the Russian captain gave the order to raise the white flag and surrender. The war has reached this point, and the Dandong is actually of no longer any significance. The purpose of zìself has been achieved. The two German warships eventually remained in the area. And the Russian Navy has more or less retained its last dignity. With the raised white flag, the Dandong gave up resistance, and then opened the sea valve and sank itself. The remaining crew also began to evacuate from the battleship.

"Damn the Russians!" The German officers and men on the Scharnhorst looked at the Danton, which had given up resistance...... I couldn't help scolding. Now they know perfectly well that the Russians are desperately charging this time to destroy two German battleships! What a hatred this is! They turned a deaf ear to the attack of the Huaxia Navy. Instead, he stared at zì and hit him violently. This hatred that has surpassed reason also makes the Germans angry! Before Russia and Germany were at war, the seeds of hatred were already buried in the navies of both countries! …。

"The Scharnhorst is a bit outdated." Anger relative to someone else's fèn. As the commander of the German fleet, Count Spee saw very openly, there are sacrifices in war, and they can be sacrificed for the sake of victory. It's even more said to be a battleship. The Scharnhorst was actually a first-class experimental battleship of the German High Seas Fleet. The German Navy has a lot to learn from this battle, and these two ships should be used as tuition! And according to the agreement, the Huaxia Navy will have to compensate after the sinking of these two warships!

"Tell everyone that the wǒs will soon have more powerful warships. There is no need for the wǒ to grieve for these two battleships, because they have completed their mission, they were sunk on the battlefield, not dismantled in the shipbreaking yard! Earl Spee said.

And just after the confrontation on this battlefield ended, the Russian Navy lost 4 more capital warships, and on the entire battlefield, the Russian fleet was left with only 4 Borodino-class battleships, and they were fighting with the 5 dreadnought-class battleships of the Huaxia Navy at this time. And when the Longxu-class battlecruisers were freed, the final fate of the Russian fleet was decided, and it sank or surrendered!
