Rear Admiral Benjamin, Commander of British Navy's 2nd Battleship Squadron, are responsible for commanding three ships 'Queen Elizabeth-class' Battleship. What made him depressed was that his original 2nd Battleship Squadron had five powerful Battleships. But now, there are only three ships left.
"Damn Germany people, if they hadn't carried out a despicable and shameless sneak attack, our 'Warspite' number Battleship and 'Valiant' number Battleship would not have been severely damaged." Rear Admiral Benjamin gritted his teeth at the thought of this. This caused his command power to shrink by 40%! Otherwise, their chances of winning in this naval battle would be much greater.
"General, the Chief of Staff ordered us to rush to the battlefield as soon as possible. They were suppressed by Germany people." A Communications Officer reported.
Rear Admiral Benjamin couldn't help but frowned. "The battle has just begun, can't the Battlecruiser unit be unable to hold on? The combat effectiveness of the Germany people seems to be stronger than we imagined!"
"Order all ships to speed up." Rear Admiral Benjamin ordered.
Now that Battlecruiser is in trouble, this makes them have to speed up and rush to the battlefield. If Battlecruiser Squadron is defeated, or if the losses are too great, they will not be able to complete their planned combat objectives.
Three ships, 'Queen Elizabeth-class' and 'Battleship', began to accelerate towards the battlefield. However, because their previous mission was to attack the side and rear of German Navy 1st Battlecruiser Squadron, they had to make a big circle. This meant that it took them almost an hour to get to the battlefield after receiving David? Vice Admiral Beatty's Telegram. Of course, from Rear Admiral Benjamin's point of view, there should be no problem for the Battlecruiser team led by David? Vice Admiral Beatty to persist for an hour.
Rear Admiral Benjamin believes that once the fleet he leads arrives on the battlefield, it will be able to reverse the situation. He is still very confident about 'Queen Elizabeth-class' Battleship. The power of 381mm Main Gun is not small, enough to penetrate the armor of German Navy and Battlecruiser.
However, what Rear Admiral Benjamin didn't know was that they were not the only ones with reinforcements. German Navy 1st Battlecruiser Squadron also has reinforcements. German Navy 2nd Battleship Squadron and six Battlecruiser are also on their way to the battlefield.
Vice Admiral Hipper, when they sank HMS Invincible number Battlecruiser of British Navy, they also sent Telegram to Vice Admiral Spee, asking him to rush to the battlefield as soon as possible. Of course, Vice Admiral Hipper is not asking for help, but hopes that Vice Admiral Spee can arrive in time to block the retreat of Britain people. In this case, they can eat all the Battlecruiser belonging to the Britain people in one fell swoop.
Vice Admiral Hipper is worried that once they sink more Britain people's Battlecruiser, they will scare the Britain people and run away in confusion. In that case, it would be unfavorable for them to further expand their results.
Vice Admiral Hipper believes that once 2nd Battlecruiser Squadron arrives, there will be no problem at all in encircling and annihilating Japanese Army's Battlecruiser unit.
"Boom!"
British Navy's 'HMS Queen Mary' number Battlecruiser hit German Navy's 'SMS Friedrich der Grosse' number. 343mm Main Gun directly hit the No. 1 main turret of the 'SMS Friedrich der Grosse'.
"Hooray, well done!"
David? Vice Admiral Beatty happened to see this scene and couldn't help but cheer.
"God bless British Empire! Kill German warship." The other officers in the "Tiger" Battlecruiser also cheered.
However, soon all their smiles froze on their faces.
Because, when the smoke cleared, German Navy's 'SMS Friedrich der Grosse' number Battlecruiser was completely safe and sound.
"Damn, what's going on? Our shells didn't penetrate German warship's turret. How is this possible?" a British Navy officer exclaimed.
"God! How to fight this?"
The expression on David? Vice Admiral Beatty's face also darkened. Even if their shells hit the target, they cannot damage it. In this case, they would have no way to continue fighting! It won't be long before their warships will be sunk one after another.
When the number 'SMS Friedrich der Grosse' was hit, Vice Admiral Hipper was also shocked. This is their main battleship. If it is severely damaged or even sunk, the consequences will be disastrous.
Although, the senior officials of German Navy knew that in the decisive battle with British Navy, they would definitely not lose a single battleship. However, in order to deal with other potential enemies, German Navy still hopes to lose as few warships as possible. In that case, German Navy can continue to maintain its strong strength and deal with other enemies.
"General, the No. 1 turret of the 'SMS Friedrich der Grosse' was hit, but it was not penetrated. But the huge explosion still killed the gunner inside." An officer reported to Vice Admiral Hipper.
Vice Admiral Hipper was relieved.
Immediately afterwards, ten minutes later, German Navy's 'von der Tann' and 'Lothringen' joined forces to sink British Royal Navy's 'Indomitable' Battlecruiser, causing the loss of British Navy to rise to two ships.
Of course, this is also because the 'Indomitable' number Battlecruiser is also a ship of the 'Invincible-class' Battlecruiser, and its defense power is too bad. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been sunk so easily.
Two Battlecruisers were sunk successively, making German Navy 1st Battlecruiser Squadron's advantage even greater. Vice Admiral Hipper even ordered the three ships 'Blücher-class' Battlecruiser, Encirclement Offensive British Navy's 'New Zealand' Battlecruiser to strive to further expand their lead.
"God! General Benjamin How long will it take for them to arrive? We can't hold on any longer!" David? Vice Admiral Beatty was very anxious.
German Navy's strength made him even more worried about the next step.
However, David? Vice Admiral Beatty soon learned that the reinforcements he was expecting would never come.
British Navy's 2nd Battleship Squadron, on the way to the battlefield, encountered 2nd Battlecruiser Squadron of German Navy. Without saying a word, Vice Admiral Spee immediately ordered 2nd Battlecruiser Squadron to initiate Encirclement Offensive against British Navy's 2nd Battleship Squadron. It is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to use six Battlecruisers to deal with Britains and three Battleships.
