During the fierce battle, German Navy's seaplane was also conducting reconnaissance around the battlefield. Therefore, they were able to immediately discover that British Navy's reinforcements had arrived on the battlefield. However, because the four ships 'Iron Duke-class' and 'Battleship' rushed to the battlefield from the north. At the same time, because the speed was too slow, it fell behind and was not discovered by the seaplane in time.
"The reinforcements from the Britain people are still here. They actually dispatched nine Battlecruiser ships, coming from three directions. Obviously, they want to catch us all!" Vice Admiral Hipper sighed.
"It's time to come. If we don't come again, all the bait will be eaten by us. However, do the Britain people think they can defeat us by sending only these nine Battlecruisers? That would be too underestimated of us." Vice Admiral Spee sneered.
Indeed, with the strength of German Navy and Commerce Raiding Fleet, it is obviously impossible to defeat them with just nine Battlecruiser. The previous naval battle had already proven everything. This is especially true when British Navy's 'Invincible-class' Battlecruiser and 'Indefatigable-class' Battlecruiser have relatively rubbish combat capabilities.
"Hurry up and sink the Britain people's 'King George V' and 'Ajax'. Then, have a good relationship with Britain Those Battlecruiser people have a fight. Let them know how big the gap is between their Battlecruiser and us." Vice Admiral Hipper is also a hundred times more confident. Although, there were nine Britain Battlecruiser that appeared, three more than them. However, don't forget that they still have three powerful 'Derfflinger class' and Battlecruiser that can be put into battle at any time.
'Derfflinger class' Battlecruiser, but the powerful Battlecruiser equipped with 380mm Main Gun not only has powerful firepower, but also has amazing defense. Facing those Battlecruiser of British Navy, they can be defeated easily.
Vice Admiral Spee also laughed, as if he had seen those Battlecruiser scenes of his own'Derfflinger class'Battlecruiser ravaging Britain people.
"Order all ships to continue shooting. In addition, report the arrival of reinforcements from Britain to Admiral Scheer." Vice Admiral Spee ordered.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The six Battlecruisers of German Navy fired continuously. The dense shells slammed into the two Battleships of British Navy. Such intensive firepower made the Britain sailors on the two Battleships miserable. They kept praying to the God, praying that the shells would not hit them.
"General, Admiral Beatty lets us hold on for another half hour. They will arrive on the battlefield within half an hour." A Communications Officer reported to Rear Admiral Carroll.
"Half an hour? Guys, if we persist for another half hour, we will win. By then, we will definitely be able to kill all these Germany people who are showing off their power." Rear Admiral Carroll finally breathed a sigh of relief. If reinforcements could arrive in time, they would be much safer. Although the current situation is very critical, there shouldn't be much of a problem if we persist for half an hour.
"Long live! Long live Royal Navy!" The officers and soldiers of British Navy all cheered. This makes them feel as if they have the joy of surviving a disaster.
However, God always seems to like playing tricks on others. Before the joy of British Navy officers and soldiers could be sold, tragedy struck.
The 'Ajax' number Battleship was in a very embarrassing situation under the three 'Blücher-class' Battlecruiser number Encirclement Offensive. The hull had been hit in many places. Even though the 'Blücher-class' Battlecruiser is equipped with 305mm Main Gun, the shells fired by the 50-time caliber main gun have strong armor-piercing capabilities. The armor of the 'Ajax' Battleship cannot withstand the powerful shells at all.
The reason why the current number 'Ajax', Battleship, has not been seriously injured is entirely due to good luck. Otherwise, it might have been sunk long ago.
However, good luck always runs out. God cannot always bless this Battleship.
"Boom! Boom!"
'Von De Tann' number Battlecruiser performed mediocrely in this battle and had no impressive record. This made the naval officers and soldiers on the battleship very unhappy.
However, good luck seemed to come all of a sudden.
In this round of salvos, the 'Von De Tann' number Battlecruiser scored a crucial hit.
A 305mm Shell hit the middle of the hull of the 'Ajax' Battleship. The shell penetrated the battleship's armor and hit the battleship's boiler room. After the bomb exploded, the huge power blew up the entire boiler room into a mess. The high-temperature steam in the boiler leaked out, killing the Britain sailor inside in an instant. At the same time, the power of the battleship was greatly affected. The speed of the battleship began to become slower and slower.
"Well done!" Vice Admiral Hipper couldn't help but clapped his hands when he saw this scene.
In a fierce naval battle, once a battleship loses power, it will almost have to wait for death. This is especially true when Encirclement Offensive is attacked by the enemy.
The three ships 'Blücher-class' and Battlecruiser took this opportunity to launch a more violent attack on the 'Ajax' ship Battleship. For a time, shells fell like raindrops around the number 'Ajax' Battleship.
And Rear Admiral Carroll on the 'King George V' number Battleship closed his eyes in pain. He knew that 'Ajax' number Battleship was doomed this time.
"God! Is British Empire really going to lose this time?" Rear Admiral Carroll couldn't help but ask this question in his heart. You know, as the maritime overlord, British Empire's navy has always been the best in the world. But after the war broke out this time, Royal Navy has been suppressed by German Navy. Although the decisive battle between the two sides has not yet begun, Royal Navy has already lost three Capital Shipss, and now it is about to lose the fourth one. On the other hand, German Navy did not lose a single ship. This gap is really too big.
"Boom!"
'Ajax' No. Battleship was hit again, and the superstructure was already on fire. The sailors above had already begun to flee for their lives. They themselves have decided to abandon the Battleship.
'Ajax' number Battleship is like a shell magnet, attracting shells from all directions.
In just a few minutes, the number 'Ajax' Battleship was hit more than ten times. The fragile hull could no longer hold on and simply broke. In just five minutes, the Battleship sank into the sea.
"General, I just got the news that the 'Ajax' has sunk." On board the 'Tiger' Battlecruiser, the staff officer reported to David? Vice Admiral Beatty.
"Asshole! Damn Germany people, you have sunk four of our Capital Ships. Today, we must make you pay with blood!" David? Beatty said angrily.
