"The Battlecruiser detachment and 2nd Battleship Squadron will definitely suffer heavy losses this time. If all the main battleships are deployed at this time to fight the Germany people, I am afraid there will be no victory. Forget it. However, Mr. Churchill's order is to make it very possible for us to sink German Navy's Capital Ships, creating opportunities for subsequent naval battles. If we retreat now, it will be equivalent to retreating. The control of the sea has been completely given to the Germany people. In addition, if we continue to retreat to Scapa Flow to avoid fighting, German navy will definitely continue to attack our coastal cities. The pressure on the navy and Cabinet will be very great. I'm afraid we will have to go to sea to fight the Germany people," John? Admiral Jellicoe thought secretly.
John? Admiral Jellicoe carefully thought about how to act next, which would be most beneficial to Royal Navy. However, no matter how we act, it is almost impossible for Royal Navy to reverse the situation. Such a result made John? Admiral Jellicoe very frustrated.
"Is Royal Navy finally losing this time? British Empire has mastered maritime hegemony for hundreds of years, will it inevitably fall into the hands of Germany people?" John? Admiral Jellicoe felt sad and could not accept such a result. But, here it is.
"General, the current situation is very unfavorable to us. Battlecruiser units of David? Admiral Beatty and 2nd Battleship Squadron are already in danger. We must Act immediately to reinforce them. Otherwise, they will all be eaten by the Germany people. By then, we will not have enough strength to fight the Germany people." A general suggested.
John? Admiral Jellicoe nodded. "Order the fleet to go south at full speed. Since the decisive battle between us and the Germany people is inevitable. Then, let the decisive battle Let's start today. Before the main force of the Germany people arrives, try to severely damage the Battlecruiser Squadron people of the Germany people. In this case, the decisive battle will be more beneficial to us."
"Yes, General."
"Tell all Royal Navy officers and soldiers that this battle is related to the life and death of the British Empire. We must fight against the Germany people with a heroic and fearless spirit just like our ancestors did among Battle of Trafalgar. God will protect British Empire and defeat the despicable Germany. Everyone will be influenced by the British Empire," John? Admiral Jellicoe ordered.
When the situation was very unfavorable for them, he could only find ways to improve the morale of the troops. In this case, a miracle may happen. This is also the only way for John? Admiral Jellicoe.
Under the orders of John? Admiral Jellicoe, the main force of Royal Navy Grand Fleet began to go south, preparing for a decisive battle with German Navy. Moreover, they hope to severely damage or even annihilate German Navy's Battlecruiser Squadron before German Navy Main Force Appears, thereby gaining a favorable situation.
At this moment, on the battlefield, German Navy 1st Battlecruiser Squadron and 2nd Battlecruiser Squadron are still ravaging British Navy's Battlecruiser detachment and 2nd Battleship Squadron. The two-on-one advantage allowed them to firmly occupy the initiative on the battlefield and continue to cause damage to British Navy.
"Boom!" A 343mm Shell hit the number 'HMS Malaya' Battleship. The shell hit the stern of the "HMS Malaya" ship Battleship. After penetrating the stern deck armor, it exploded inside the warship and ignited a raging fire.
Immediately afterwards, a 343mm Shell fired from the Battlecruiser number 'Goeben' directly hit the No. 2 main turret of the Battleship number 'HMS Barham'. Although, the main turret armor is 330 mm thick. However, it still could not withstand the combination of the 50 times caliber main gun and the capped Armor-piercing Shell. The shell tore through the armor and exploded inside the turret. The huge power directly blew the entire turret away. If the shells in the barrel had not been fired and there were no shells and weapons inside, it would undoubtedly have caused them greater losses.
But this result has surprised British Navy's 2nd Battleship Squadron Commander Rear Admiral Benjamin.
"Damn, how could this happen? Why can Germany's 'Moltke-class' Battlecruiser be able to directly penetrate our turret armor? This is not scientific at all!" Rear Admiral Benjamin looked shocked. There is no doubt that this result completely made him unable to believe it.
"General, the artillery technology of the Germany people seems to be much ahead of ours!" an officer sighed.
Rear Admiral Benjamin was stunned at first, but then had to nod in agreement. Judging from the current situation, this is the only explanation. However, such a result undoubtedly made them feel bitter. As the general of Royal Navy, Rear Admiral Benjamin is undoubtedly proud. But now, the Germany people used their power to tear their pride into pieces.
"Fight back, and move closer to the direction of Team Capital Ships!" Rear Admiral Benjamin ordered.
When the situation is critical, we can only move closer to the main force and rely on the strong strength of the main force to tide over the crisis.
"Boom!"
British Navy also scored a hit, a 381mm artillery shell, hitting the 'Hindenburg' number Battlecruiser. However, what frustrated British Navy was that this hit only caused some minor injuries to the 'Hindenburg'.
There is no doubt that the advantage on the battlefield is still under the control of German Navy.
Two minutes later, British Navy's 'HMS Barham' number Battleship was hit again. This time, the one that hit him was the number 'SMS Lützow' Battlecruiser. A 380mm Shell penetrated the armor of the command tower of the Battleship number 'HMS Barham'. The armor of the command tower, which was only 280 mm thick, was torn apart easily as if it were made of paper in front of 380mm Shell.
The shell exploded in the command tower, killing more than a dozen officers including the captain, which plunged the 'HMS Barham' Battleship into chaos.
Then, Battlecruiser number 'Goeben' hit number Battleship number 'HMS Barham' again, and two 343mm Shell hit number 'HMS Barham', causing more injuries to number Battleship number 'HMS Barham'.
As time went by, German Navy's battleship scored hits again and again. Cannonballs continued to hit the three Battleships of British Navy, leaving wounds one after another on the bodies of these Battleships.
On the other side, the Battlecruiser team led by David? Vice Admiral Beatty is also struggling to support Encirclement Offensive led by German Navy 1st Battlecruiser Squadron.
