Chapter 874: The Battle That Continues to Collapse

Let's turn our perspective back to the main battlefield, where the Moore fleet and the Jericho fleet converge! The two fleets were reorganized into new battle lines under the cover of destroyers! However, there is no ...... for eggs. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info1 Queen, Lion Tiger plus two original battlecruisers Do you fight 6 Bavaria-class fast battleships and 1 Helgrand-class battleship? What do you think?!

"Today, God seems to be on their side?" Looking at the battlecruiser Lion, which had been turned into a burning torch in the distance, the prince said with some dissatisfaction.

"What do you mean by that?" Scheer said with some puzzlement. Now he is also very relaxed, basically he doesn't need to give any orders, it depends on the performance of the gunners. Given enough time, Schell believed that the German fleet would be able to send the opponent to the bottom of the sea one by one.

"We've hit at least a dozen shells on the opposite side, right? Why didn't this lion explode? The prince said something that seemed to Sher to be very talkative...... In fact, unless you stab the ammunition depot directly, it will be very difficult to kill the opponent in an instant, or in other words, if the British War Patrol changed the fire protection before Jutland, it would not be so brittle. And if you want to directly penetrate the ammunition depot, and kill the opponent in seconds before the opponent has time to fill the water, this actually depends on the character. Some of those who exploded after being stabbed through the ammunition were, for example, Hood. And there are also those who did not die immediately after the ammunition depot caught fire.

The prince flipped through the memories of the historical Battle of Jutland, and in the avant-garde war, Betty's two battle cruisers sank very simply, and the Tireless was sunk ten minutes after the battle, and Queen Mary hung up twenty minutes later. And the Invincible opened fire at 6:26 p.m., and at 6:31 was given seconds by the joint efforts of Lütsov and the Cedritz! It's not too much to say that you will die at the sight of the light!

And what about yourself? It's been more than 20 minutes since the Bavaria took over against the Lion! The number of shells hit exceeded two digits! The other party hasn't been killed yet?! It's not scientific! The prince lamented the injustice of God in his heart! Is God really so kind of Hipper?!

And just when the prince was estimating when the Lion would detonate the ammunition, the famous Lion, Betty's flagship, and the pride of the British battlecruisers at this time had reached the final moment! Although it was not killed in an instant for some reason, under the continuous attack of 15-inch shells, this battleship was more like a floating ruin at this time!

"General, the battleship has lost all its firepower, the fundamental reason why we can float on the sea is that all the ammunition depots have been filled with water, the battleship has entered more than 4,000 tons of water, the main armor belt has been punched out of 3 gaps, the left tilt has reached 24 degrees, the speed has further decreased, and it is impossible for the Lion to go back." The captain of the Lion asks Betty for a different flagship.

At this time, the left chord of the battleship was only less than 2 meters above the water, the huge hull was constantly trembling, and the sound of metal twisting and breaking came from all around, the structure of the battleship had been severely damaged, even if the Germans no longer attacked, the structure of the battleship could no longer bear its own weight, it was like an elephant with broken bones, its own weight could already cause fatal damage to important organs, and at this time, the motor of the battleship Lion had stopped, When the main gun was destroyed and proved unrepairable, in order to prevent an out-of-control fire from affecting the ammunition depot, the ammunition depot of the main gun was first filled with water, and then the ammunition depot of the side auxiliary gun, a series of measures at the cost of 3,000 tons of water to keep Betty's Lion alive until now, but it is impossible to continue.

When Betty and her retinue moved to the Warrior on a destroyer, the time of the Lion's existence could only be calculated in minutes and seconds. The displacement of 26,000 tons of British battlecruisers and his sisters were put on the altar of the god of war, the battleship has been out of the battle, the length of more than 200 meters of hull has been more than one-third of the length of the sea from time to time hidden under the sea, in the residual power propulsion, the battleship out of a tortuous course on the sea, the huge hull from time to time from the sound of vibration and breaking, the captain has given the order to abandon the ship, even the Bavaria has concentrated its fire on other warships.

At this time, the situation of the other British warships was also very bad, except for the Warrior, which could barely withstand the Saxony that he had caught right, the remaining Tiger, New Zealand and Australia were already exhausted, and they had even given up continuing to shoot at them, relying on the remaining smoke and tortuous course of the destroyer to avoid the enemy's shelling.

"The results of the two newly commissioned Bavaria-class battleships were very poor, and their accuracy of hits against British battleships that took evasive routes was very low." Scheer said, putting down the telescope in his hand. The two battleships Hesse and Mecklenburg had just been in service for less than two months, and the officers and men on them were only familiar with the operation of the two battleships, and the hit rate on the battle line was only about 40% of that of their predecessors such as Bavaria and Saxony, and in the face of high-speed evasion of the battle cruisers, this hit rate was even lower. And this is the fundamental reason why the two battle cruisers of the Moore fleet, which are in the last line, have survived until now.......

The current British fleet is like a desperate antelope, they try their best to dodge and evade, trying to increase the difficulty of the opponent's hit through continuous turning, this cannot be said to be useless, but it will further reduce their speed, and if they are only beaten and cannot fight back, then their demise is only a matter of time!

The most powerful battleship of the Warriors was already a little overwhelmed, and another 15-inch shell landed on the deck of the Warrior, and after easily penetrating the horizontal armor of the upper deck and the dome, the shell blew the two roaring generators to pieces. The explosion not only caused the battleship to lose half of its power, but also ignited a large amount of diesel, the flames ignited the diesel vapor in the air, and in an instant, bursts of violent explosions came from the motor compartment, instantly turning several surrounding compartments into a hell of flames.

"The temperature in the ammunition compartment is too high, and if it continues like this, it may cause spontaneous combustion of ammunition!" An officer in the ammunition compartment of the third turret yelled as he looked at the skyrocketing thermometer.

"I demand that the ammunition compartment be filled with water immediately!" Through the internal microphone, the officer yelled. At this time, the crackling burning sound was already faintly heard, and the explosion outside the armor of the ammunition bay and the sound of debris hitting the steel plate were even more terrifying, as if the monsters outside could break through the wall at any time!
