"Boom!" A huge explosion sounded on British Navy's 'Ramillies' number Battleship, and the entire battleship seemed to shake. A 380mm Shell launched from the Battleship number 'Sachsen' hit the tall superstructure of the Battleship number 'Ramillies'.
380mm Armor-piercing Shell has strong armor-piercing ability, easily penetrates the outer armor and explodes inside. The huge power directly destroyed the top of the superstructure of the 'Ramillies' number Battleship, and also caused a raging fire. The scattered debris fell and injured many British Navy soldiers.
What's even more terrible is that all the observation equipment and ranging equipment installed on the top of the superstructure were destroyed. This directly reduced the shooting accuracy of the 'Ramillies' number Battleship to an intolerable level.
In a battle more than ten kilometers away, if there is no sighting equipment and ranging equipment, and you only rely on human eyes and experience to shoot, if you want to hit the target, unless God appears. Otherwise, it is simply impossible.
"Your Excellency Commander, the 'Ramillies' can no longer aim at the target on the opposite side. Their shooting is a complete waste of artillery shells. If possible, let the 'Ramillies' withdraw from the battle, and continue fighting after returning to port to repair the sighting equipment and ranging equipment." A staff officer suggested.
After all, the current number 'Ramillies', Battleship, has completely become a soy sauce character. Letting him withdraw from the battle is undoubtedly the best choice. That way, we can keep him. Otherwise, in the fierce battle with the Germany people, he might be hit soon. In that case, it would be very uneconomical.
However, John? Admiral Jellicoe did not adopt this suggestion. Of course he knew that the staff officer's suggestion was for Royal Navy's good. However, he had his own plans.
"Let the 'Ramillies' continue to fight. Even if they are used to attract the artillery fire of a Capital Ships ship belonging to the Germany people, that is also good." John? Admiral Jellicoe ordered.
"Yes, General." Although the staff officer was a little confused, he did not refute.
John? The reason why Admiral Jellicoe issued such an order was because there was nothing he could do about it. Originally, Royal Navy was inferior to German Navy in terms of quantity of Capital Ships. If the latex tube 'Ramillies' withdraws from the battle, this will give them an even greater numerical advantage. At that time, the other Battleship of German Navy will be able to cooperate with the other Battleship to flank the other warships of Royal Navy. This is undoubtedly very disadvantageous for Royal Navy.
However, what John? Admiral Jellicoe didn't know was that his order quickly decided the fate of 'Ramillies' number Battleship.
"Very good, I didn't expect the 'Sachsen' number Battleship to perform so well in this naval battle!" Admiral Reinhard? Scheer was very satisfied with the performance of the 'Sachsen' number Battleship.
"Your Excellency Commander, Colonel Lohart requested to shorten the distance between British Navy's 'Ramillies' number Battleship." A staff officer reported.
General Reinhard? Scheer hesitated for a moment, then nodded and approved Konix? Colonel Lohart's request. He knew the intention of Konix Colonel Lohart, and he undoubtedly wanted to seize this opportunity and shorten the shooting distance to further improve the hit rate. Thus, in the shortest possible time, British Navy's 'Ramillies' number Battleship was sunk.
Such tactics are undoubtedly very good. After all, when the sighting equipment and ranging equipment of the 'Ramillies' number Battleship were destroyed, even if the 'Sachsen' number Battleship zoomed in to a distance of 10,000 meters to shoot, it would be difficult for the 'Ramillies' number to hit the 'Sachsen' number. However, if Battleship, number 'Sachsen', seems to be taking the initiative to shorten the distance, it is very likely that he will be attacked by Encirclement Offensive of other Battleship of British Navy. After all, this is not a fight alone, but in the middle of a battle line. The 'Determination' number Battleship in front of 'Ramillies' number Battleship and the number 'Royal Sovereign' in the rear number Battleship are not vegetarians, and they will definitely not miss this good opportunity.
However, even so, General Reinhard? Scheer still agreed to this somewhat risky tactic. After all, in naval battles, high risks also mean high benefits. If the 'Sachsen' number Battleship can severely damage or even sink the 'Ramillies' number Battleship, this will further expand the advantage German Navy has in this battle. British Navy Even if you want to escape, it's impossible.
"Order the warship to start turning!" Colonel Lohart immediately issued the order to turn after receiving the reply from the flagship Telegram.
'Sachsen' number Battleship began to leave the queue and approached 'Ramillies' number Battleship.
"God! What do the Germany people want to do?" The British Navy officers and soldiers on board the 'Ramillies' number Battleship all started yelling after seeing the unusual behavior of the 'Sachsen' number Battleship.
British Navy's other Battleship also discovered this situation.
"Damn it, the Germany people are obviously going too far. Do they want to sink the 'Ramillies' as soon as possible?" David? Vice Admiral Beatty was very angry.
"The arrogant Germany people are completely seeking death. Order the 'Determination' Battleship and the 'Royal Sovereign' Battleship to abandon the target on the opposite side and sink the ship seeking death first. Germany Battleship! Sinking this Battleship may help us get out of the current predicament." John? Admiral Jellicoe also immediately issued the order.
However, it is obviously impossible for the two Battleships to change their shooting targets and then achieve hits in a short period of time. It takes time to conduct a test fire again, and then wait for the test fire to be successful before switching to concentrated fire shooting. Of course, 'Sachsen' number Battleship took the initiative to shorten the distance and improve their hit rate, but those steps are indispensable.
And 'Sachsen' number Battleship may have been able to use this time to send British Navy's 'Ramillies' number Battleship to the seabed to feed the fish.
"Fire!"
At a distance of only twelve thousand meters from the 'Ramillies', Konix Colonel Lohart gave the order to fire.
The three-seat triple-mounted 380mm Main Gun continued to fire violently on the 'Ramillies' number Battleship.
At the same time, the 'Sachsen' number Battleship is also further closing the distance with the 'Ramillies' number. Their ultimate goal is to shorten the combat distance to 10,000 meters.
