As the British-German battlecruisers fought a desperate, life-and-death duel, the confrontation between the German Navy's Derfflinger-class Battlecruisers and the British Navy's Iron Duke-class Battleships had also begun.
Although the two sides were fifteen thousand meters apart, both the 380mm Main Guns and the 343mm Main Guns could reach their opponents at that range. In particular, the German Navy's 380mm Main Guns not only possessed tremendous power, but also a very long range, thoroughly surpassing the British Navy's 343mm Main Guns. Naturally, the two were even less comparable in terms of power.
Boom! Boom!
The German Navy's three battlecruisers opened fire. The roar of the 380mm Main Guns was like thunder rolling across the sky. Orange-red flames flashed from the muzzles as shells weighing over a ton came hurtling savagely toward the distant British battleships.
Although the British Navy had four Iron Duke-class Battleships while the German Navy had only three Derfflinger-class Battlecruisers, no matter how one looked at it, the British Navy was being pinned down and hammered.
"Damn it, the Germans are targeting us. Tell HMS Marlborough to seize the opportunity. They must hit the German warships!" Rear Admiral Robertson ordered.
At that moment, no German warships were firing on the HMS Marlborough Battleship, allowing it to fire on the German Navy's Derfflinger Battlecruiser without any interference.
This placed enormous pressure on the captain of the HMS Marlborough Battleship and the naval officers and sailors aboard her. Rear Admiral Robertson seemed to have placed his hopes of victory upon them. Yet the greater the pressure, the greater the motivation was not always the case; excessive pressure could even cause them to perform abnormally.
Although the HMS Marlborough Battleship had carried out several ranging salvos, it had never managed to achieve a straddle, much less shift into concentrated fire.
