A 305mm Shell launched from the Battlecruiser of the 'Blücher' blasted a big hole in the bow of the Battleship of the 'Monarch'. Because the 'Monarch' number Battleship used the main firepower to deal with the 'Seydlitz' number, the 'Blücher' number could launch the attack almost without any interference. Under such a calm attack, the hit rate is naturally guaranteed to be higher.
This shell did not cause much damage to the 'Monarch' number Battleship. However, it still has a certain impact on morale.
The three Battleships located behind the battle line of British Navy are undoubtedly the most dangerous. Each of their Battleships had to face two German Navys, Battlecruisers, and Encirclement Offensives. Even though 'Blücher-class' Battlecruiser is equipped with 305mm Main Gun. However, the combination of the fifty times caliber main gun and the capped Armor-piercing Shell is enough to penetrate the armor of British Navy's 'Orion-class' Battleship.
Less than twenty minutes after the battle began, many Battleship ships of Royal Navy were hit. Although, they are not serious injuries. But the battle has just begun. Once German Navy's warships hit them continuously, they will be severely damaged sooner or later. By then, Royal Navy's losses may be huge.
Although, the officers and soldiers of Royal Navy were also working hard to open fire. But their hit rate is significantly lower than German Navy. Moreover, it also did not cause much damage to the German Navy battleship. On the one hand, of course it is because Battlecruiser of German Navy has strong defense. But on the other hand, it is because of the problems of the British Navy shell itself.
As time goes by, the situation becomes more and more unfavorable for British Navy. The faces of John? Admiral Jellicoe and David? Vice Admiral Beatty became increasingly ugly.
"Sir Commander, no matter what, if you persist for an hour, there shouldn't be much of a problem." David? Vice Admiral Beatty said. Of course, he was just trying to comfort people.
John? Admiral Jellicoe nodded and said nothing more. He was also very nervous at the moment.
"Boom! Boom!"
At this time, No. Battleship, 'Thor', located at the end of the battle line, was hit again. The shell fired from the 'Lothringen' No. Battlecruiser hit the side of the 'Thor' No. Battleship. A large hole was torn open in the waterline armor, and seawater began to pour crazily into the battleship.
At this time, German Navy's 'Von De Tann' number Battlecruiser also hit 'Thor' number Battleship.
In the next few minutes, the 'Lothringen' Battlecruiser and the 'Von De Tann' Battlecruiser jointly hit the 'Thor' Battleship more than ten times, and the Battleship was riddled with holes.
In the end, due to too much water, the number 'Thor' Battleship quickly sank into the sea.
After sinking the Battleship of the 'Thor', the Battlecruiser of the 'von der Tann' and the Battlecruiser of the 'Lothringen' joined the Encirclement Offensive of the 'Monarch' Battleship of the British Navy. The 'Monarch' number Battleship was encountered by four Battlecruiser Encirclement Offensive, and the situation became even more dangerous.
"Your Excellency Commander, the 'Thor' was sunk by the Germany people. The 'Monarch' was sunk by the Germany's four Battlecruiser's Encirclement Offensive are currently in danger," a staff officer reported to John? Admiral Jellicoe.
But unfortunately, John? Admiral Jellicoe is also helpless. The only thing they could do was wait for dark and then evacuate under the cover of darkness. Apart from this, there is no other way. As for how many battleships will be sunk by German Navy during this waiting process, John? Admiral Jellicoe also doesn't know. Perhaps, you can pray to God so that they will suffer less losses!
"Order all ships to continue fighting!" John? Admiral Jellicoe ordered with a cold face.
'Monarch' No. Battleship, under German Navy's Encirclement Offensive, only lasted five minutes before being sunk. During the fierce battle, the Battleship was hit by at least 15 shells within five minutes. Even this huge Battleship, with a displacement of 25,000 tons, cannot hold it! In the violent explosion, the 'Monarch' number Battleship was almost torn into pieces before sinking into the sea. Almost all of the more than 700 British Navy officers and soldiers on the battleship sank into the sea with the battleship, and no one survived.
After the 'Monarch' number Battleship was sunk, it was the turn of the 'Orion' number Battleship. This Battleship was even more unlucky, being directly hit by six Battlecruiser and Encirclement Offensive. The outcome can be imagined.
When the 'Orion' number Battleship was sunk, the 'SMS Lützow' number Battleship of German Navy had already seriously injured British Navy's 'King George V' number Battleship. This ship is very lucky. Battleship, which successfully escaped the last Mid-Atlantic naval battle, is not so lucky this time.
The other Battlecruiser who arrived later launched a Encirclement Offensive attack on the 'King George V' number Battleship. Soon, the Battleship was also sunk.
This leaves British Navy with only four ships 'Revenge-class' and Battleship still struggling to support itself. However, they are still suppressed. Now, German Navy's other warships have eliminated the 'King George V' Battleship and the three 'Orion-class' Battleship. Then, what is waiting for them is undoubtedly Encirclement Offensive.
Although, there is not much time until dark. However, British Navy, who was Encirclement Offensive, still paid a huge price.
'Royal Oak' number Battleship, in Encirclement Offensive was silent due to too much water.
The Battleship number 'Royal Sovereign' was even more unlucky. During the fierce battle, a 380mm Shell penetrated the ammunition magazine of the rear main gun. After the shells in the magazine were detonated, the entire stern of the ship was blown up. In the end, the 'Royal Sovereign' Battleship sank into the cold North Sea with its stern down and its bow up.
British Navy's 'Vengeance' number Battleship and 'Determination' number Battleship were also severely damaged during the bombardment. However, its speed was not affected. They persisted until dark, and then took advantage of the cover of night to escape German Navy's pursuit.
This naval battle also came to an end. The whole day's naval battle finally ended with German Navy's victory.
