"General, we have lost 5 battleships and 4 battleship cruisers. Among them, 'East Prussia, the battleship sinks,'Thuringia, the battleship sinks,'Westphalon, the battleship sinks,'
Battleship battlefield, 'Bremen, the USS Battleship was severely damaged, 'Crown Prince, the USS Battleship was severely damaged.'Luzov, the USS Battleship was sunk, 'Hindenburg, the USS Battleship was sunk,'Maochi, the USS Battleship was sunk
,'Scharnhorst, the battlecruiser was severely damaged.
'The battlecruiser, the battleship de Fringer, has also withdrawn from the battle. Now, we only have 24 battleships left to continue fighting!" Admiral Schmidt looked at Admiral Reinhardt Schell,
It was full of anxiety. The main force of the two sides had been in less than an hour, and the German Navy had already paid a heavy price.
"Where are our enemies?" Reinhardt.
General Schell asked.
"The British Navy lost 9 battleships during the main showdown. Among them, "Akinkot, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship was magnificent, the battleship was severely damaged.
,'Colinwood, the battleship was severely damaged,'reckless, the battleship was severely damaged,'Iron Duke, the battleship was severely damaged,'Benbao, the battleship was severely damaged,'Barham, the battleship was severely damaged. However, the British Navy still has 31 ships
Battleships continue to fight. 7 more than us!" said Admiral Schmidt. The British Navy has seven more battleships, which can already play a decisive role in naval battles.
Reinhardt.
Admiral Schell looked at the fleets of the two countries that were still firing wildly, and didn't know what to think about. Since the beginning of the naval battle, although the German Navy has tried its best, it has suffered heavy losses. Although it is slightly smaller than the British Navy's losses,
The expected goal was not achieved. If the British Navy cannot be defeated this time, the German Navy will no longer have the opportunity to fight the British Navy. By then, the remaining warships of the German Navy will completely become a shore defense fortification based on the military port.
Surviving the existence fleet. More importantly, the dilemma faced by Germany cannot be solved, which will have a very serious impact on Germany's future strategy.
"Continue to fire! Sink the Germans' warships · Let them know that the ruler of the world's oceans is Britain. Britain is the overlord of the sea, not only now, but also in the future!" On the battleship of Queen Elizabeth, the British Navy's homeland
Fleet Commander John.
Admiral Jelico said excitedly.
Although the British Navy's losses are slightly greater than that of the German Navy. Overall, the British Navy still has an absolute advantage in the battle situation. Especially in the five Queen Elizabeth-class battleships, the battleships joined the command, which has completely changed the current battle situation.
John.
Admiral Jelico seemed to have seen that the goddess of victory had lifted her skirt to the British Navy.
"Boom!" An explosion sounded, and an orange-red fireball burst out from the front deck of the German Navy's battleship, Catherine. A 343mm armor-piercing projectile fired from the British Navy's battleship, Monarch, hit the target.
'Catherine, the battleship. The 343mm armor-piercing projectile is very powerful. Even because the British Navy's armor-piercing projectile did not use delayed fuses, the shell weighing nearly one ton was easily smashed under the influence of great kinetic energy.'Catherine
, the deck armor of the battleship. What's more serious is that the shell explosion commander ignited a raging fire. Now the sky has gradually dimmed, 'Catherine, the fire on the deck of the battleship is as if it were for other Britain
The navy's battleships pointed out the defense line, "The monarch, the battleships adjacent to the battleships, turned their muzzles and pointed at the battleships. Suddenly, the battleships of Catherine became the target of besieged by the British Navy, and became
The shell magnet.
Within five minutes of command, the USS Catherine, was attacked by five British battleships. In these rounds of volleys, at least six or seven shells hit. The USS Catherine, all of which were 343 mm.
Armor-piercing bomb. Even though the armor of the USS Catherine was very thick, it could not resist it in such a situation. The superstructure was blown up, the bridge was hit, and a big hole had been blown out under the waterline.
Commanding the battleship, Catherine, eventually sank into the sea. Except for a very small number of the more than a thousand naval officers and soldiers on the ship successfully escaped, the rest of the people sank into the sea with the battleship.
'Catherine, the battleship sinks and commands, and the British Navy's numerical advantage is further widened. The British Navy often concentrates several battleships to siege a certain battleship of the German Navy. Although the sky is getting darker and darker, the British Navy's
This tactic still effectively guarantees their hit rate, which caused great casualties to the German fleet, which was at a serious disadvantage in number.
When the battle was going on at 8 pm, the German Navy once again suffered heavy casualties. The King-class battleship, the border governor, was severely injured and had to withdraw from the battle early. The Caesar-class battleship
'Regent of Louise Bold, the battleship was directly sunk.' Nassau-class, the Hamburger among the battleships was sunk.' Helgolan-class, the battleships' Thal, the battleships were severely damaged and exited
Fight.
The counterattack of the German fleet also cost the British fleet a certain price, but overall, under an absolute disadvantage, the counterattack of the German Navy was no longer very effective. After paying for several battleships, the
After the cost of sinking or heavy damage, the German Navy only caused the British Navy's "Malboro, the battleship," the Indian Emperor, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battleship, the battle
.The German Navy now has only 19 battleships left, while the British Navy has 27. The German Navy's number of battleships is only two-thirds of that of the British Navy. In this case, the British Navy has obtained this.
The victory of a naval battle is almost a foregone conclusion. What's more, the British Navy still has a backup plan. This time, the German Navy is destined to be powerless to make the situation come true!
"General! We can't continue to fight. Our losses are very heavy. The morale of the troops is also very low. If we continue to fight, we will be sunk all. We should retreat immediately, preserve our strength, and leave it for the German Navy.
The vitality of rising again!" Admiral Schmidt said simply. Not only Major General Schmidt, but also commanders of several other battleship detachments of the German High Seas Fleet, also sent telegrams asking Reinhardt.
Admiral Schell ordered a retreat. Although, these generals also knew that if they chose to retreat, the German Navy would never have the chance to challenge the British Navy again.
But this is always much better than being sunk all! The British navy has a deeper heritage than the German navy. After the battleship is sunk or severely damaged, it will be rebuilt soon. But Germany is no longer possible, it is underway now
The war in full swing has exhausted Germany's national strength, and Germany has no strength to build new battleships. For example, the Bavarian-class battleship is already the last battleship of the German Navy, and the British Navy is not only Queen Elizabeth
In addition to the battleships, there are also the "revenge class and battleships". This is the gap between the two countries!
Even though the German navy soldiers were very brave, they were unwilling to lose their lives in such a battle where they could not see victory. If these battleships could return to the German military port, plus those severely damaged battleships and battleships
The cruiser, the main force of the German Navy, was saved. In the future, we can find another chance to fight the British Navy. If all the capital is spent now, the German Navy will really have no hope!
Reinhardt.
Admiral Schell hesitated for a moment and finally agreed to retreat. After all, in this decisive battle, he had already tried his best, and the German Navy had already done his best. The reason for this result was that the British Navy was too exchanged.
They actually
'Queen Elizabeth-class battleships were built, and Germany always thought that 'Queen Elizabeth-class battleships were still on the ship platform. If there weren't these Queen Elizabeth-class battleships suddenly joined the battlefield, perhaps the German Navy had already defeated the British Navy.
. Previously, the German High Seas Fleet Reconnaissance Squadron led by Lieutenant General Hippel almost killed all the British Navy's battleship squadrons. But now, the German Navy's reconnaissance squadrons have been almost destroyed, and the battleships have suffered heavy losses.
He is completely unable to challenge the British Navy again.
"Order the eighth, tenth and eleventh destroyer teams to launch lightning strikes on the British Navy! The battleship team turns left 40 degrees and prepares to return!" Reinhardt.
Admiral Scher ordered. It was already eight o'clock in the evening, and the night had dimmed. Although it was not that you could not see your fingers, you could only see a blurry shadow too far away. If you set aside, you would immediately
If light control is carried out, it is very likely to get rid of the enemy's pursuit. What's more, dozens of destroyers from three destroyer teams launched lightning strikes at night, even if they cannot cause too much damage to the enemy, they can still cause some chaos.
Time is enough for the German Navy to retreat.
"Order the destroyers and light cruisers to top and kill the German destroyers! The main battleships should pay attention to avoid torpedoes. In addition, send a telegram to Admiral William Benson. The Germans have retreated. Let's see theirs next. Please make sure to keep them alive.
The Germans intercepted it!" John.
Admiral Jelico ordered that at this moment, his face was already full of a sure victory!
