"General, the 'HMS Emperor of India' was severely damaged and lost two main turrets." the staff officer reported to Rear Admiral Robertson.
"Damn it!" Rear Admiral Robertson's face was so gloomy that it looked like it could drip water.
German Navy's 'Derfflinger class' Battlecruiser's 380mm Main Gun is too powerful, and their 'Iron Duke-class' Battleship cannot resist it at all.
"I hope Admiral Beatty can win quickly! Otherwise, we will lose." Rear Admiral Robertson thought secretly.
Now, Rear Admiral Robertson can only place its hopes on David? Vice Admiral Beatty. He finally understood that it was almost impossible to defeat Germany with four 'Iron Duke-class' Battleship and three 'Derfflinger class' Battlecruiser.
"Boom!"
A huge explosion sounded, and Rear Admiral Robertson felt as if his body was flying.
"Boom!" Immediately, Rear Admiral Robertson hit the ground hard, making him dizzy.
"Damn, we were hit. Report the damage!" Rear Admiral Robertson immediately got up from the ground and asked loudly.
Two minutes later, a staff officer reported to him, "General, the ship was hit amidships, and two secondary guns were lost. Fortunately, it was above the waterline, otherwise, the consequences would have been disastrous."
Rear Admiral Robertson also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the place where he was hit was on the side, above the water. If it were below the waterline, he had no doubt that their weak waterline armor would not be able to withstand the terrifying power of 380mm Main Gun.
"Asshole! Why has the number 'HMS Marlborough' been calling for so long and hasn't hit German warship yet?" Rear Admiral Robertson was very angry. Logically speaking, without interference, it should be easier for 'HMS Marlborough' number Battleship to get a hit.
"General, the 'HMS Marlborough' has completed straddle fire and started concentrated fire. It just takes a little time to hit German warship." the staff officer advised.
"Time? I also want to give them time. But, will Germany people give us time?" Rear Admiral Robertson was furious.
Indeed, German Navy will never give them time.
Five minutes later, 'Hindenburg' number Battlecruiser hit 'HMS Emperor of India' number Battleship again. A 380mm Shell penetrated the stern armor of the Battleship of the 'HMS Emperor of India', penetrated into the ship and exploded. The huge power directly blew up Propeller Shaft. This caused the 'HMS Emperor of India' number Battleship to lose power, its speed became slower and slower, and it would soon turn into a dead dog lying on the sea.
When Rear Admiral Robertson heard the news, he was silent for a long time, as if he couldn't believe that they were going to lose one Battleship so soon. If the 'HMS Emperor of India' number Battleship is sunk, then in a three to three situation, they may have even less chance of winning.
"Send Telegram to Admiral Beatty. We have tried our best. However, the enemy is very powerful and we may not be able to hold on for long." Rear Admiral Robertson ordered.
"Yes, General."
"Very good, well done, boys. Send Telegram to the 'Hindenburg' and ask them to send the Battleship belonging to Britain to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish within ten minutes." Admiral Reinhard? Scheer ordered excitedly. He seemed to have seen victory, not only the victory of this naval battle, but also the victory of this war.
"Yes, general." Communications Officer was equally excited and immediately went to send Telegram.
After receiving Telegram from Admiral Reinhard? Scheer, the shelling of the 'Hindenburg' became even more intense. One after another, heavy shells hit the number Battleship 'HMS Emperor of India' hard. One after another, towering water pillars continued to rise from around the number 'HMS Emperor of India' number Battleship.
The British Navy officers and soldiers aboard the 'HMS Emperor of India' number Battleship also seemed to know their fate. However, they still did not give up resistance and were still seizing the opportunity to open fire on the 'Hindenburg' number Battlecruiser.
However, the reaction of 'HMS Emperor of India' number Battleship was nothing more than a death struggle.
Five minutes later, the number 'Hindenburg' number Battlecruiser hit the number 'HMS Emperor of India' number Battleship again. Because the speed of Battleship numbered 'HMS Emperor of India' was getting slower and slower, which was almost forbidden. In this round of salvos, three of the nine 380mm Shell fired by number Battleship numbered 'Hindenburg' hit three.
'HMS Emperor of India' No. Battleship was directly broken into two pieces during the violent explosion and quickly sank into the sea. All the naval officers and soldiers on the battleship sank into the sea along with the battleship, and no one survived.
"God! The 'HMS Emperor of India' has been sunk." There was an exclamation on the 'Iron Duke' number Battleship.
Rear Admiral Robertson's face was ashen and he said nothing.
"Very good, adjust the shooting target. The 'SMS Lützow' will attack the 'HMS Marlborough', and the 'Hindenburg' will attack the 'HMS Benbow'. Now it's three versus three. The battle will be resolved within an hour!" General Reinhard? Scheer gave the order with a smile on his face.
On the 'Tiger' number Battlecruiser, David? Vice Admiral Beatty frowned. The current situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable to them. Originally, he thought that with their numerical advantage, they could defeat German Navy's Commerce Raiding Fleet. But now it seems that everything he thought was too simple.
"General, General Robertson called, German fleet's 380mm Naval Gun is very powerful, they can't hold on any longer." Communications Officer reported.
David? Vice Admiral Beatty frowned. "Let Rear Admiral Robertson find a way to persist for a while."
"Yes, General."
However, soon, Communications Officer returned.
"General, the 'HMS Emperor of India' has been sunk." Communications Officer reported.
"What?" David? Vice Admiral Beatty was stunned, as if he couldn't believe it. You must know that 'Iron Duke-class' Battleship is the most powerful Battleship among British Navy! Before 'Queen Elizabeth-class' Battleship and 'Revenge-class' Battleship entered service, they were the main force among the main force of Royal Navy. But now, one was actually sunk so quickly, which undoubtedly showed that the German Navy warship was much more powerful than they had previously expected. The remaining three ships, 'Iron Duke-class' and 'Battleship', may not be able to last long either.
"Let General Robertson try his best to persist first, and I will find a way here." David? Vice Admiral Beatty was worried. Now they seem to be in a desperate situation.
