At this time, due to fuel and injuries, the Blucher could only maintain a speed of 20 knots, and in less than half an hour after the two sides entered the visual distance, the battleship Queen Elizabeth had already included the target in the range of its main guns!

"Hurry up and get them to the bottom of the sea, we still have to get down to business!" Thomas glanced at the two battleships in the distance and said with some irritation. The so-called loss www.biquge.info of watermelons and picking up sesame seeds is Thomas's mood now, letting go of a super dreadnought and catching a German original dreadnought, there is really no sense of accomplishment!

The Queen Elizabeth and the Malaya quickly approached the target after turning two compass points to the right, and the distance between the two sides was approaching about 14 kilometers at one point. The British fleet relied on a sharp output to paralyze the opponent, and then solved it with torpedoes, but they forgot that the technical and tactical level of the German Navy could never be ignored! Even one of the earliest dreadnoughts will definitely cost its opponents who despise it dearly!

Nine 12-inch guns spit out long flames, the Blucher caught the opponent in the fourth half-salvo, and a shell landed on the foredeck of the Queen Elizabeth during the fifth shot! The shell easily shattered several decks and exploded on the dome, and the violent impact and concussion even caused part of the dome deck to fall off, and a thick column of smoke rushed out of the breach.

However, this was only the beginning, and in the eighth half-salvo, two shells hit the battleship Queen Elizabeth again, and the first shell tore through the armor belt of the gun gallery, erasing a 6-inch gun and a gun crew from the battleship, leaving a huge hole in it. It's like a monster's mouth. Another shell hit the 13-inch armor belt, leaving only a small crater less than 6 inches deep.

The dense and accurate attacks made the powerful Queen Elizabeth-class battle-columns feel a little uncomfortable. A few minutes later, Thomas ordered the fleet to evade. Like two lions facing a hungry wolf who is still fighting in a trapped beast, although the former has an absolute advantage, the latter's combat skills and sharp teeth still make the former a little frightened.

"Leave the light cruiser behind you alone and give him to our cruiser. Let's concentrate our fire on the Blucher first. WITH THOMAS'S ORDER, THE TWO QUEEN-CLASS BATTLESHIPS AIMED THEIR MAIN GUNS AT THE OPPONENT AT THE SAME TIME, AND A FULL 16 15-INCH GUNS SPEWED FLAMES ALTERNATELY, AND A SHELL WEIGHING 871KG DREW A DEADLY ARC IN THE AIR AND FLEW TOWARDS THE GERMAN BATTLECRUISER IN THE DISTANCE.

In the face of absolute superior firepower, in front of the two most elite British battleships that were three times larger than their own guns and nearly twice the number, the Blucher was quickly completely suppressed!

The British also hit accurately, the readjusted queen successfully hit the bow of the Blucher in the fifth round and a half salvo, this shell fell near the old wound, the already damaged hull simply could not withstand such a heavy blow, after a flash of fire, accompanied by the sound of explosions and metal breaking, a large piece of armor was smashed to pieces, and the violent impact soon spread out in all directions, forming a large hole of several square meters, and a large amount of seawater poured in along the gap, In a very short period of time, hundreds of tons of water intake were added.

"Release the smoke! Otherwise, we won't be able to support it for long. Looking at the battleship, which had been almost obscured by the water column, Colonel Helhouse decisively ordered the battleship to evade. Smoke from groups of smoke canisters gradually obscured the slender hull, and when it finally disappeared, the British shelling came to an end for the time being.

"What a nuisance." Now Thomas said as he looked at the smoke screen in the distance. It took time for the sea breeze to blow away the smoke, and when the smoke screen gradually cleared, Thomas suddenly found that the German fleet did not continue to sail south, but turned northwest under the cover of the smoke screen, because the wind was blowing to the northwest, the German fleet was shrouded in the smoke screen for a longer time. Now, for Colonel Herhouse, how to delay as long as possible is what needs to be considered, so the Blucher is dragged on and off, just to prevent the British from comfortably fighting!

When Thomas caught up with the Blucher again, the other side was again touch-and-leave, under the cover of a smoke screen, once again turned to avoid the enemy's shelling. This gave Thomas a sense of power that he couldn't use.

"Give me 1 group of destroyers, let's get closer! Kill them! "Looking at the wall clock on the wall, nearly an hour has passed, and the other party is still walking unhurriedly, and no trace of the Moltke has been found in other directions, which makes Thomas a little anxious, but as a qualified fleet commander, even in this case, he is still leaky of his own deployment, the fleet is close to the opponent, releasing seaplanes to help observe, and at the same time, in order to prevent the German battleship from jumping over the wall, he also arranged for a small group of destroyers to be deployed on the warring side, if Blucher dares to rush, Then the destroyer's torpedoes forced the opponent back in minutes!

The British fleet accelerated again, approaching a cloud of smoke and preparing to press it when the smoke screen cleared again, and then cleanly solve the opponent, the British fleet was in front of the German fleet's original track, whether Blücher continued to move forward or turned, Thomas could ensure that it was pressed at the first time!

"We spank them!" And just as the British were about to bite the German fleet coming from the front, two figures, one large and one small, suddenly broke out of the smoke screen and rushed to the British light cruisers behind the two queens! And at this time, the two light cruisers were only about 7 kilometers away from the German battleships!

That's right, you read that right, it's 7 km! Don't forget, the range of the 6-inch guns on the light cruisers was very leisurely, and it was difficult to hit the opponent if they were more than 10 kilometers apart, so when the two queens attacked the Blucher, the other two British light cruisers approached the Wiesbaden and engaged at close range. After realizing that he could not effectively inflict damage on the British capital ships, Colonel Helhouse decisively targeted the light cruisers, which were closer to him and more vulnerable!

Although the Blucher was hit at least 4 times in the battle just now, even a wounded head wolf is definitely not a rabbit that can resist, and before the British could react, the Blucher was already shrouded in flames with full firepower!
