"General, Lieutenant General Betty's call!" On the battleship of the Iron Duke, the communication officer handed the telegram to John.
Admiral Jelico.
After reading the telegram, John.
Admiral Jelico frowned immediately. As the commander of the Royal Navy's local fleet, David.
Lieutenant General Betty dared to disobey his orders, which made him very disgusted. However, if he put himself in his shoes, David.
Lieutenant General Betty can still understand it. After all, if it were him, he would probably not have missed the opportunity now. David.
Lieutenant General Betty's battlecruiser squadron has lost four battleships, but it has only severely damaged one German Navy's battlecruiser. This result will definitely make the guys in the country very dissatisfied. At that time,
David.
Lieutenant General Betty will definitely be dealt with, and if he is not careful, he will be sent to the military court.
"Perhaps, there is no problem in doing it according to Lieutenant General David Betty's plan. If the German battlecruiser squadron can be killed, it can also severely hit the Germans' arrogant arrogance." John.
Admiral Jelico said that now, the British navy has suffered greater losses than the German navy, and he, the fleet commander, cannot escape. If the war can be reversed in one fell swoop, it will be an extremely rare opportunity for him.
.
After making up his mind, John.
Admiral Jelico ordered the course to be adjusted and accelerated to the warring seas. At the same time, the battleship detachment issued an order to speed up and follow up as a secret weapon. Although, obtained from the British Admiralty
According to information, the main force of the German Navy's high seas fleet did not leave the port. But John.
Admiral Jelico always felt that this would not be the case. The Germans would not give up this opportunity to fight the British Navy. Especially when the German Navy thought it had a great advantage.
At this moment, David.
The British naval battlecruiser squadron led by Lieutenant General Betty was struggling to support the attack of the German high seas fleet led by Lieutenant General Hippel. The smoke of gunfire was filled with the sea, and the sound of cannons shook the sky.
Rising from the sea and then falling onto the sea, it was like a heavy rain.
The current situation has become very unfavorable to the British fleet, and the German Navy has clearly gained the upper hand. After gaining the advantage in quantity, the German Navy has adjusted its firepower distribution. By 'De Fringer, 'Northus,' Lüzov, 'Northus,'
The attack on the lion, the number,
"Hindenburg, the Royal Princess, the number "Geben, the number "Tiger, the number "Moltke, the number "Invincible, the number "Feng.
De.
Tann, the number of "unyi" dealing with "Sharenhorst," dealing with "indomitable".
The Lion Battlecruiser is the first ship of the British Navy's Lion-class Battlecruiser and the flagship of the British Navy's Battlecruiser Squadron. However, after the naval battle began, the battlecruiser was defeated by the German Navy.
The flagship of the reconnaissance squadron, De Fringer, was frequently hit, not only the main turret was destroyed, and the superstructure seemed to have been plowed. It was a miracle to be able to persist until now and continue to fire.
However, the good luck of the Lion is destined to end here. When De Fringer, and Lüzov, both aimed the firepower at it, it was destined to be unable to hold on any longer.
At 4:38 pm, the battlecruiser of Luzov hit the lion, the stern of the ship, half of the ship's stern was cut off, and the propeller and tail rudder behind the stern were gone. At the same time, the sea water
From the gap at the stern of the ship, it rushed into the warship.
"General, 'Lion, the ship is finished. The stern of the ship has been cut off, and now the sea water is pouring into the ship. 'Lion, the captain of the ship is requesting to abandon the ship!" The communication officer said to David.
Lieutenant General Betty reported.
"Agree to abandon the ship!" David.
Lieutenant General Betty said with red eyes. 'The Lion is his flagship. He is full of emotion for this British Navy's best-performing battle cruiser. But he did not expect that in this naval battle
,'Lion, the ending of the horn will be like this. Naval battles are cruel, especially for the current British Navy.
David.
Lieutenant General Betty agreed to the Lion, after the ship abandoned, the thousands of sailors on it immediately moved. At this time, as a large amount of sea water poured into the Lion, the bow of the ship had been lifted from the water.
After a while, the Lion battle cruiser sank into the cold North Sea with a head facing upwards. Only half of the sailors on the battleship escaped successfully, and the rest were also buried with the battleship.
The seabed, including the captain of the Lion.
After the numeral was sunk, Lieutenant General Hippel immediately ordered De Fringer,
'Luzov, and 'Hindenburg, · Hit the firepower against the British Navy's battlecruiser squadron's current flagship' Royal Princess, . These three battleships are the most powerful battlecruisers of the German Navy,
Although the Royal Princess is the most powerful battle cruiser of the British Navy, it still seems to be alone under the attack of three powerful opponents.
"Boom!" A fireball rose in the head of the battlecruiser of the USS Goben. The violent explosion blew the head of the battlecruiser of the USS Goben to pieces. All the officers and soldiers of the German Navy were
Shocked. Goben, since the beginning of the naval battle, has made considerable achievements, and has severely damaged the British Navy's Australian Battlecruiser.
Surprisingly, the one who hit the "Gobon," the battlecruiser, was the one who had been underperforming since the war started. The Tiger, the battlecruiser, was an improved version of the "Lion-class, battlecruiser," the Tiger
The overall performance of the USS Battlecruiser is stronger. However, since the war started, the performance of this battlecruiser has been very bad and has been repeatedly hit by the German Navy's warships. If it weren't for the Tiger, the USS Battlecruiser would have been even more
If it is thick and thick, it may have been severely damaged or sunk long ago. Now, with the British Navy at an absolute disadvantage, the Tiger, battlecruiser seems to have begun to perform normally.
In this volley, a 343mm armor-piercing projectile hit the former main turret of the USS. Goben, the battlecruiser is the Moltch-class battlecruiser.
The No. 2 ship has a displacement of up to 25,000 tons. Although the main gun has a caliber of 280 mm, it has 5 dual main guns and is very powerful in firepower. At the same time, the German Navy has always focused on the survivability of warships.
The horizontal armor of the U.S. is as thick as 270 mm and the turret armor is as thick as millimeters. However, even though the British navy's naval gun performance lags behind the German navy, the 343 mm armor-piercing bomb can easily penetrate the U.S. Goben
turret.
The turret layout of the Goben, the foreground has two main turrets, and adopts a load-bearing design.
The main turret No. 1 was hit, and the turret armor was penetrated, the shells exploded inside the turret, and the entire turret was destroyed. This was not even worse, when it was hit, the turret No. 1 and the 2 behind it
The cannon chamber of the turret was loaded with shells and launching medicine, and was about to shoot. So, this caused a catastrophic blow to the turret. The cannon shells in the turret were detonated, 4 to 280 mm
The shells and hundreds of kilograms of launching medicine immediately took the life of the battle cruiser. The entire bow was blown to pieces, and the sea water quickly poured into the ship from the bow.
In less than half a minute, the battlecruiser, the battleship, had already sank into the North Sea with a head facing downward posture. None of the 1,186 sailors on the battleship survived. This was also the first German navy in this naval battle.
The sunken battleship.
'Gobon, after the sinking of the USS Gorben, the morale of the British fleet rebounded. Although, they are still at a disadvantage in quantity, they have seen hope. If God is on their side, they may not have
Opportunity to get back to disadvantages.
"The sinking of the USS Goben made Lieutenant General Hippel feel very distressed. The number of main ships of the German Navy is originally smaller than that of the British Navy. The sinking of any main ship is very serious for the German Navy.
Lieutenant General Hippel ordered 'Hindenburg, number to deal with' tiger, number,
‘De Fringer, the numerals and ‘Luzov, the numerals continued to deal with the numerals.
In the next hour, although the naval battle was still very fierce, the results were far less than the previous hour. The British Navy defeated the German Navy's "Feng" at 5 pm.
De.
Tann, the battlecruiser, sent to the seabed. However, fifteen minutes later, the German Navy regained his color and sank the British Navy's invincible battlecruiser. British Rear Admiral Hood was bombed to death on the spot.
.
At 5:30 pm, a large fog appeared on the sea to the west, like a moving cloud. The light cruiser of the German fleet, Strasbourg, reported that Britain appeared twelve nautical miles to the west.
The main force of the naval local fleet.
After Lieutenant General Hippel received the report, he immediately ordered the fleet to accelerate to the 23rd knot, break away from contact with the British fleet, and turn to retreat eastward. At the same time, he also went to Reinhardt.
Admiral Schell reported the emergence of the British Navy's main fleet, allowing the main force of the High Seas Fleet to prepare for combat.
David.
Lieutenant General Betty also received news of the arrival of the main fleet. Of course, he would not agree to the German Navy's reconnaissance squadron wanted to escape. In this fierce naval battle, he lost 6 battlecruisers, four of which
The war sank. David.
Lieutenant General Betty immediately ordered the remaining four warships of the British Navy Battlecruiser Squadron to pursue at full speed.
