"****!" Seeing that the number 'Audacious' was hit, Rear Admiral Carroll cursed directly.
Fortunately, the number 'Audacious' then reported that it had not been hit, which made Carrol breathe a sigh of relief. If one Battleship was lost just after the battle started, the battle would not be able to go on at all.
"Damn Germany people, their Battlecruiser is indeed very powerful!" Even though they just fought, Rear Admiral Carroll has already seen that German Navy's strength cannot be underestimated. But the more this happens, the more British Navy has to defeat German Navy. Only in this way can British Empire's sea power be maintained.
"Very good, guys, we were just a little bit close. We were just a little bit close to being able to severely damage Britain and one Battleship." Vice Admiral Hipper on the 'Blücher' number Battlecruiser encouraged the gunners. Although, the shot just now did not severely damage the number 'Audacious' Battleship, which is a bit of a pity. But Vice Admiral Hipper believes that as long as you get the first hit, you will definitely get more hits next.
"Concentrate fire on the entire ship!" The captain of the 'Blücher' issued the order to concentrate fire.
Although, the 'Blücher' number Battlecruiser did not form a trans-radiation on the 'Audacious' number. But being able to hit the 'Audacious' just now shows that there is no problem with their shooting of Zhu Yuan.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The three-seat triple-mounted 50-caliber 305mm Main Gun numbered Battlecruiser, number 'Blücher', began violent shooting. Each salvo fires nine shells, greatly increasing the hit rate.
Maybe it's because Britain people have poor luck, or maybe the number 'Audacious' is too unlucky. After the 'Blücher' number Battlecruiser hit, the 'Seydlitz' number Battlecruiser also hit the 'Audacious' number.
During the test firing, a 343mm Shell hit the defense of the 'Audacious'. The deck armor could not withstand such heavy shells at all and was easily penetrated.
The shell exploded inside the ship, blowing several cabins inside to pieces and causing a raging fire.
Although the critical position of the 'Audacious' was not hit, the sailors of the 'Audacious' could only carry out damage control as much as possible in order to avoid further losses.
After being hit twice in a row, the morale of the sailors aboard Battleship, 'Audacious', dropped to the bottom. Although their shelling continued, their aim was getting lower and lower. At the same time, the time required to shoot once is also getting longer and longer.
This is undoubtedly very beneficial to German Navy. Once the 'Audacious' Battleship is sunk, they can re-adjust the target of the attack and use the six Battlecruiser Encirclement Offensive British Navy and the remaining three Battleship. In this case, the chance of winning quickly will be greater.
Rear Admiral Carroll also discovered the problem with the number 'Audacious' and couldn't help but frown.
"Those guys on the 'Audacious', what are they doing? Weren't they just hit twice by the Germany people? They haven't been sunk, so there's nothing to be discouraged about. Let them cheer me up and continue fighting. This naval battle has just begun." Rear Admiral Carroll ordered.
"Yes, General." Communications Officer quickly went to send Telegram.
However, the performance of 'Audacious' number Battleship still did not improve much. In this naval battle, they seemed to have become a soy sauce character, until they were finally sunk by German Navy.
At 10:43, German Navy's 'Lothringen' number Battlecruiser formed a straddle attack on British Navy's 'Ajax' number Battleship. Subsequently, the entire ship switched to concentrated fire shooting. The situation has become even more unfavorable to British Navy.
At 10:52, the number 'Centurion' of British Navy was extremely lucky. In this round of test firing, it caused a cross-fire. Subsequently, the 'Centurion' began concentrated fire.
However, just two minutes later, the number 'Goeben' Battlecruiser retaliated, also forming a cross-fire. The two warships began to exchange maximum firepower. As for who can get the first hit, it may depend on God's will.
"Damn it! How could this happen?" Rear Admiral Carroll seemed a little unable to accept such a result. The battle has just begun, but they are already completely suppressed by German Navy. This was absolutely unexpected for him. Although they have two fewer warships than German Navy, he believes that the excellent quality of the officers and soldiers of Royal Navy can fully make up for their numerical disadvantage.
When Rear Admiral Carroll is worried about the current situation, good luck always comes inadvertently. It was as if God suddenly favored them.
"Boom! Boom!"
Two explosions sounded in succession, and two huge fireballs were seen rising from German fleet's flagship 'Moltke' number Battleship.
In this round of test firing of the number 'King George V' Battleship, two hits were actually made at once. This is undoubtedly a stroke of luck!
A hit point was located on the side of the Battlecruiser Moltke. A large hole was blown out in the middle of the hull, and a pile of secondary battery shells were detonated, igniting a fire.
The sailors of the 'Moltke' number Battlecruiser immediately began to conduct damage control.
The other hit point was the main gun tower at the stern of the ship. However, the tragedy is that although it hit the main turret, it failed to penetrate it, and the shell exploded outside. The scattered shrapnel killed the sailors on the deck. At the same time, the huge power of the explosion also shocked the Germany sailors in the turret to death. But such injuries are nothing to the huge Battlecruiser.
"Report the damage!" Vice Admiral Spee shouted loudly.
"General, the side was hit, there is no big problem. The No. 3 main turret was hit, but not penetrated. The gunner needs to be replaced." The staff officer quickly reported.
Vice Admiral Spee After hearing this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Order all units to conduct damage control immediately. Main turret No. 3, continue firing in the shortest possible time." Vice Admiral Spee ordered.
"Yes, General."
"Long live! Long live British Empire!"
On board the Battleship number 'King George V', the officers and soldiers of British Navy were already cheering.
"God bless us and sink the damn Germany people."
A smile also appeared on Rear Admiral Carroll's face. However, when the smoke cleared and the number 'Moltke' Battlecruiser was almost intact, the expression on his face suddenly became stiff.
