"Assign attack targets, 'Derfflinger' number Battlecruiser and 'SMS Lützow' number 'Queen Elizabeth' number Battleship, 'Hindenburg' number Battlecruiser and 'Moltke' number Battlecruiser Attack the number 'HMS Barham' Battleship, the number 'Moltke' Battlecruiser and the number 'Seydlitz' Battlecruiser, and the number 'HMS Malaya' Battleship." Vice Admiral Spee quickly issued the order.
German Navy 2nd Battlecruiser Squadron has six Battlecruisers. Facing British Navy's three Battleships, it can fight two against one.
This leaves British Navy's three ships, 'Queen Elizabeth-class' and Battleship, in a state of being overwhelmed by Encirclement Offensive in this battle.
"Fight back! Focus on attacking the three 'Derfflinger class' Battlecruiser's of the Germany people and sink them. The remaining three 'Moltke-class' Battlecruiser's are nothing to worry about." Rear Admiral Benjamin said. In his eyes, it is obvious that the 'Derfflinger class' Battlecruiser equipped with 380mm Main Gun is more threatening. Therefore, he ordered a direct attack on the three ships 'Derfflinger class' Battlecruiser. Turning a blind eye to the three ships 'Moltke-class' and Battlecruiser. Of course, this also caused him to suffer a big loss in the subsequent battle.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The three British Navy's 2nd Battleship Squadron's 'Queen Elizabeth-class' and Battleship also launched a fierce counterattack, and one by one, 381mm Main Gun, began to roar. However, the three 'Queen Elizabeth-class' Battleship have a total of 24 381mm Main Gun, and they have to face 27 380mm Main Gun and 27 343mm Main Gun. This puts British Navy's 2nd Battleship Squadron at a disadvantage almost from the beginning.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
One shell after another pierced the air, making a sharp and ear-piercing whistling sound.
After the cannonball hit the sea hard, it splashed water columns into the sky. It can be said that this naval battle reached a climax from the very beginning.
Vice Admiral Spee stood on the bridge of the 'Derfflinger' Battlecruiser, watching the battle motionless.
"Huh? Britain people gave up attacking our 'Moltke-class' Battlecruiser, and instead put all their attack power on our 'Derfflinger class' Battlecruiser?" Vice Admiral Spee noticed something was wrong.
However, then, a smile couldn't help but appear on his face. British Navy only has three Battleship, so they can only selectively attack some of the German Navy warships, but cannot attack them all. However, they chose to attack 'Derfflinger class' Battlecruiser first, which was undoubtedly a huge mistake. After all, 'Derfflinger class' Battlecruiser's defense is stronger. Even 381mm Main Gun who faces Britain is not unable to withstand it. This choice of Britain allowed German Navy's three 'Moltke-class' Battlecruiser to attack almost without interference. In this case, the possibility of getting a hit will undoubtedly be greater.
"Give an order to the three "Moltke-class" Battlecruiser. Since the three "Queen Elizabeth-class" Battleship of the Britain people Their firepower has been held back by us, then it's up to them. Let them use all their firepower to kill the three Battleships of Britain!" Vice Admiral Spee ordered.
"Yes, general." Communications Officer immediately went to send Telegram.
Indeed, the current battlefield has undoubtedly given German Navy's three ships, 'Moltke-class' and Battlecruiser, an excellent opportunity to exert their own strength. 343mm Main Gun, it may be difficult to penetrate the 330mm armor of British Navy's 'Queen Elizabeth-class' Battleship. However, the 50 times caliber main gun has a very strong armor-piercing ability. If combined with the Armor-piercing Shell cap, it is not impossible to penetrate 330 mm thick armor.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The sound of cannons rumbled on the battlefield, and the six Battlecruisers of German Navy were firing continuously. British Navy's three Battleship's are also fighting back. The two sides were going back and forth, and the shells kept hitting the sea, splashing water columns into the sky.
Another battlefield is the battlefield of German Navy 1st Battlecruiser Squadron and British Navy Battlecruiser Squadron. Although there are only four Battlecruisers left, British Navy Battlecruiser Squadron still continues to persevere.
The belief of David? Vice Admiral Beatty and those Royal Navy soldiers is undoubtedly that 2nd Battleship Squadron can arrive in time to turn the tide of the war.
"General, the 'New Zealand' has been hit again. The hull is severely damaged and it is about to lose its hold." A staff officer reported to David? Vice Admiral Beatty.
"I understand, let them hold on a little longer." David? Vice Admiral Beatty said with a dark face.
"Damn it, why isn't 2nd Battleship Squadron coming?" David? Vice Admiral Beatty was a little anxious. The current situation is very unfavorable to them. If this continues, they will definitely lose more battleships. At that time, it will be even more difficult to reverse the situation.
"General, General Benjamin came to Telegram. We encountered six Battlecruiser people from Germany. Now, a war has broken out between the two sides and they are unable to reinforce us." A Communications Officer reported to David? Vice Admiral Beatty with a look of panic.
"What? We encountered Germany people and six Battlecruisers? How is that possible?" David? Vice Admiral Beatty's face changed drastically.
Such a result undoubtedly gave him a heavy blow. After the three 'Queen Elizabeth-class' Battleship were towed, this would put them in an extremely unfavorable situation, and they might even be sunk by all German Navy. In addition, the situation of the three ships 'Queen Elizabeth-class' and Battleship is probably not very good either. Although 'Queen Elizabeth-class' Battleship is their most powerful Battleship, it is still difficult to say whether they will win or lose against an enemy twice their size. Especially among them there are also 'Derfflinger class', Battlecruiser, David? Vice Admiral Beatty, but I know which Battlecruiser is the best.
At the same time, David? Vice Admiral Beatty also knew that if 2nd Battleship Squadron had not encountered the other six Battlecruisers of German Navy, then they might have had to face the Encirclement Offensives of the 12 Battlecruisers of the Germany people. By then, their fate can be imagined.
"Damn Germany people, they are so cruel!" David? Vice Admiral Beatty couldn't help but curse. The current situation is obviously more unfavorable to them.
"Boom! Boom!"
Suddenly, a violent explosion sounded. I saw that the number 'New Zealand' No. Battlecruiser was directly broken into two parts in the violent explosion. Subsequently, the Battlecruiser quickly sank into the sea.
