British Navy's 2nd Battleship Squadron, Rear Admiral Benjamin are watching blankly the 'HMS Barham' Battleship sinking. It is very difficult for this Battleship to persist until now.
In the battle just now, the number 'HMS Barham' Battleship was hit again. One 380mm Shell and one 343mm Shell hit the number 'HMS Barham' at the same time.
A shell hit the stern of the ship, blowing off the steering gear of the Battleship number 'HMS Barham', and also caused serious flooding of the warship. Another shell tore open the underwater armor of the Battleship number 'HMS Barham'. Although, the 330 mm thick underwater armor is very defensive. However, 380mm Shell still tore it open directly. After the shell exploded, a large hole was blown directly below the waterline of the 'HMS Barham' No. Battleship. The sea water poured into the Battleship number 'HMS Barham' like crazy, and the damage control personnel didn't even have a chance to plug the leak. Even when they tried to close the watertight door, they failed.
In the end, the 'HMS Barham' number Battleship capsized on the sea due to too much water. Then, the entire hull quickly sank into the sea.
"Damn it, the 'HMS Barham' was sunk, which ship's turn is next? Is it the 'HMS Malaya' or our flagship 'Queen Elizabeth'?" Rear Admiral Benjamin thought secretly. He had almost completely lost confidence in victory.
At this time, the Capital Ships team of British Navy was heading south quickly. Hundreds of warships were spread out on the sea, looking very mighty and majestic.
However, on the 'Vengeance' number Battleship, British Grand Fleet Commander John? Admiral Jellicoe has been frowning.
"General, Admiral Beatty reported that the 'HMS Queen Mary' was sunk." A Communications Officer reported.
"I know!" John? Admiral Jellicoe replied expressionlessly.
The atmosphere in the entire command tower was about to freeze. The Royal Navy once again lost a battlecruiser, leaving them with just two battlecruisers. It would undoubtedly be very, very difficult for Lieutenant General David Beatty to withstand the siege of six German battlecruisers with only the remaining two battlecruisers. Maybe they will hear bad news again soon.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, Communications Officer continued to report military information to John? Admiral Jellicoe.
"General, General Benjamin reported that the 'HMS Barham' number Battleship was sunk."
John? Admiral Jellicoe's face at this moment was so gloomy that it seemed like it could drip water. Once again, they lost one Battlecruiser and one Battleship, making them lose five full Capital Ships before they faced off against the main force of German Navy. This is already a very powerful force for Royal Navy.
The officers in the command tower now dare not even speak out, for fear of offending John? Admiral Jellicoe.
"How long will it take for us to arrive on the battlefield?" John? Admiral Jellicoe asked.
"General, at the current speed, we will arrive at the battlefield in about half an hour." A staff officer reported.
"Half an hour? Order all ships to prepare for battle. After arriving at the battlefield, launch an attack immediately. This time, we must let Germany people pay for their debt with blood!" John? Admiral Jellicoe ordered.
The heavy loss almost drove him into madness. The only thing he thought about was to sink German Navy's battleships and avenge those battleships that were sunk.
However, John? Admiral Jellicoe also knows that it is very difficult.
On the battlefield, the fierce fighting continues. German Navy 1st Battlecruiser Squadron six ships Battleship, Encirclement Offensive British Navy Battlecruiser Squadron and the remaining two Battlecruiser.
Shells continued to fall around the 'Tiger' number Battlecruiser and the 'HMS Royal Princess' number Battlecruiser, splashing water columns into the sky. The water splashed down, even soaking the deck of the battleship.
The Britain sailors on the battleship were even more nervous. Many people have even turned pale with fear. There is no doubt that they already know the current situation very well. They also know that if the war goes wrong and they are not careful, they may follow in the footsteps of those sunk battleships.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, an earth-shattering explosion sounded.
I saw the number 'HMS Royal Princess' Battlecruiser, completely shrouded in fire and smoke.
"What's going on?" David? Vice Admiral Beatty asked.
"General, the main turret of the 'HMS Royal Princess' was hit. It seems that the ammunition depot was detonated." An officer reported with a pale face.
David? Vice Admiral Beatty, immediately closed his eyes in pain. After suffering such a blow, it was easy to know that the number 'HMS Royal Princess', Battlecruiser, was hopeless.
Indeed, the 'HMS Royal Princess' Battlecruiser, whose entire bow was almost blown to pieces, sank into the sea in less than two minutes.
This leaves British Navy Battlecruiser Squadron with only one Battlecruiser left. Moreover, he is still under the Battlecruiser detachment Encirclement Offensive of German Navy. How long they can hold on depends on God's will.
"Well done! Encirclement Offensive Britain's remaining Tiger number Battlecruiser, sink all their Battlecruiser!" Vice Admiral Hipper ordered excitedly.
If all British Navy and Battlecruiser can be eliminated, this will also be a huge victory.
However, Vice Admiral Hipper's goal has still not been achieved. Because, just when the 'Tiger' Battlecruiser was in Encirclement Offensive and in danger, the Capital Ships team of British Navy arrived.
"Fire!"
Following the order from John? Admiral Jellicoe, six ships 'Revenge-class' Battleship immediately launched a bombardment.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
One after another, the 381mm artillery shells, accompanied by the thundering roar, slammed into the German Navy 1st Battlecruiser Squadron warship under the angry eyes of the British Navy officers and soldiers.
Vice Admiral Hipper hesitated slightly, but still issued the order to retreat. After all, preserving one's own strength is the most important thing. He didn't want to put his own warship in it just to sink the "Tiger" Battlecruiser. In that case, it would be too uneconomical.
"Inform Sir Commander and 2nd Battlecruiser Squadron that the main force of the Britain people has appeared. Especially Admiral Spee, let them seize the opportunity to kill the Queen Elizabeth-class'Battleship of the Britain people." Vice Admiral Hipper ordered.
