Two 12-inch shells hit the poor light cruiser almost at the same time, one shell blew up the chimney behind the Lin Xian and half of the bridge to pieces, while the other shell directly hit the stern of the Lin Xian, and the shell weighing more than 400 kg directly blew the tail steering engine room into pieces, and left a large hole of more than ten square meters at the waterline!

Then this guy was like a hyena with his backbone removed, and he could only spin around on the surface of the sea, and taking advantage of this opportunity, the light cruiser Wiesbaden rushed up and fired 3 torpedoes at the uncontrollable Lin Xian at a distance of 3,000 meters! A few minutes later, with a loud bang, the British light cruiser seemed to be lifted from the sea by a pair of large hands, and then broke into two in the middle under a violent explosion! Then the wrecked ship fell heavily into the water, and half a minute later, except for some remaining debris, there was no trace of Lin Xian on the sea. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The other British light cruiser reacted quickly enough to pull out the smoke when the Blucher attacked the Linsen, and quickly moved away under the cover of the two destroyers, although a 6-inch gun was scrapped by the Wiesbaden before leaving, but on the whole it was safely evacuated.

"Hold the grass!" Now Thomas's mood can be described as a day dog, the battle situation that he thought should be crushed has been fought for so long a day, but in the end it made the Germans bite back, although a light cruiser is nothing. But Thomas can't afford to lose this man! Now, Thomas even had the heart to slice the Blucher! Thomas saw this as an insult to his own tactics by the Germans - focusing only on the capital ships, and throwing the escort battleships aside......

Two Queen-class battleships have returned with a large number of followers! And this time, Thomas didn't give the other party a chance! In fact, after a series of battles, the smoke canisters on the two German battleships had been exhausted and it was impossible to provide cover anymore, while two other Queen-class fast battleships had already arrived on the scene.

"We are approaching the final moment, our fate is sealed, but the sacrifice is not worthless, and one day the high seas fleet will break out of the yoke set by the British!" In the last moments of the Blucher, Captain Hullhouse said.

The two sides re-entered the battle line engagement stage, the guns of the two Queen-class battleships were ruthless and accurate, although relying on heavy armor, this German battlecruiser blocked the opponent's attacks again and again, but after all, it could not change the final result,

The armor belts at the bow and stern of the battleship have been pierced many times, and the Blucher, which has been flooded up to 1,000 tons, has poured into no less than 2,000 tons of seawater, and nearly 4,000 tons of seawater has made half of the side of the battleship close to the sea, and the lowest freestring is less than 1 meter!

But even so, before the last turret was destroyed, the Blucher stubbornly fired one shell after another at the British battleship in the distance, and although these 12-inch shells were not powerful, they still damaged the No. 3 turret of the Malaya. And several bullet holes were left in the bow of the ship.

Of course, the most effective hit was the one that hit the Queen Elizabeth control tower, although this shell failed to penetrate the heavy armor, but the violent impact broke the back plate of the armor, and countless fragments came to the British naval officers and sailors in the cabin. Two British officers were killed, more than a dozen wounded, and Thomas was not spared, a fragment almost stuck to Thomas's lungs and pierced his body, and because of this shrapnel, the command of Thomas's fleet was temporarily thrown into chaos.

"Kill the Blucher! Send a telegram to Major General Moore, tell him everything here, and hand over the command to Moore after we have solved the trouble here! Before he fell unconscious, Thomas said.

By the time the War-Weary and Barem arrived, the battle had come to an end. When the last gun was destroyed, the Blucher raised the abandonment flag. With one side almost flipped over, the hull covered in barnacles and other attachments exposed to the sun, the first battlecruiser of the German Navy began to capsize, scarred, blazing, and billowing smoke sinking into the sea.

Colonel Helhouse, after making sure that everyone had been transferred, sat quietly in his place, and after deciding the help of the British, looked without a word to the southeast, where the Moltke was approximately. "The war has come to this point, and no captain of a German capital ship has been sent to the altar of the god of war, so let me be the first." A few minutes later, the bow of the Blucher slammed downward, and then the entire hull quickly rowed into the depths of the sea. The waves splashed dozens of meters high when they sank, and the huge whirlpool formed when they sank into the sea almost sucked the two lifeboats next to them into the sea! And half an hour before the sinking of the Blucher, the light cruiser Wiesbaden was also sent to the bottom of the sea with a torpedo.

"They were true warriors, even in the toughest and doomed moments, they persevered to the end, they fought until the last moment. Even we, as enemies, must repay such generals with respect and admiration. A British naval officer wrote in his diary after the war. The sinking of the two warships resulted in the deaths of more than 900 people, and the number of prisoners was probably more than 480 survivors, who were survivors who abandoned ship at the last moment. Many people think that the war is over, but in fact, another big war is taking place at least 200 kilometers away!

At this time, Rear Admiral Gaunt, who was in command of the two Queen Elizabeth-class battleships HMS Warrior and HMS Prestige, began a search for the USS Moltke battlecruiser on Thomas's orders. Fortunately, a long-range patrol aircraft of the V1500 type spotted the German battlecruiser. Unfortunately, however, the two Queen-class battleships were located northwest of the Moltke and were in pursuit, while the other side seemed to be ...... faster than their own.

"If our prediction is correct, then their course should be the Skagerrak Strait." Major General Gaunt said.

"If that's the case, we'll have to hurry, or we'll let Moore clean it up." An officer next to him said lightly. It was no secret within the British fleet that the Moore fleet was guarding the Skagerrak Strait, and now everyone, including Admiral Gaunt, wondered how upset the Germans would be if they found out that a mighty British fleet was guarding the Strait!
