In the 8th round of the full salvo, Hesse hit first! Two 15-inch shells smashed like hammers on Moore's flagship! The first shell penetrated from the rear of the No. 2 turret, and the improved hard shell easily tore through the top two layers of thin steel plates about 1 inch thick on the Queen, and finally smashed the dome armor and the back plate behind it that were more than 2 inches thick!

The roaring motors below deck were smashed to pieces by the cannonballs that fell from the sky, and a huge fireball carried countless fragments through the fragile steel plates and soared into the air! The entire battleship seemed to be shaking and shaking at the impact. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Another shell slapped directly into the front armor belt of the Queen Elizabeth-class battleship, and then easily tore a large hole of several square meters!

The Mecklenburg in the back did just as well, a single shell blew half of the Baliem's chimney to pieces, and smoke poured like ink into the power compartment, causing at least two boilers to shut down. The Malaya and the Prestige, located in the middle of the British fleet, saved some face for the Royal Navy, the Malaya successfully hit the prince's flagship, the Bavaria, and pierced through a secondary turret, blowing up a 150mm secondary gun along with the gun crew, while the Prestige hit the No. 4 turret of the battleship Baden, the turret armor belt was fine, but one of the main gun barrels was cut off.......

At the moment, the most hits were made by the battle-weariness battleship which was simultaneously fired at both the Von der Thanen and the Cedritz. WHILE THE VON DER TANN'S NINE 12-INCH GUNS WERE A LITTLE THREAT TO THE QUEEN, THE SIDERITZ'S EIGHT 350MM GUNS WERE ALMOST AS DEEP AT THIS DISTANCE. But the rate of fire of the guns of these two battleships can reach the level of three rounds a minute! A total of 17 main guns, three times a minute! How terrifying this is! Even if it is all solid iron lumps, there are theoretically 20 tons of steel smashed over in one minute!

So, from the moment the war weariness was hit in the 8th minute, shells continued to fall on the most powerful British battleship.

"In less than 5 minutes, I observed at least 8 hits on that poor battleship! The No. 1 turret in the bow of the ship should have been scrapped. I could clearly see the smoke billowing out, and the armor belt of the gun gallery seemed to have been hit twice, and the smoke and flames had covered the entire gun gallery. The British's No. 3 turret must have been problematic as well, and I can be sure that one shell hit the lower part of the No. 3 turret, presumably destroying the ammo hoisting equipment or turret turning equipment inside. The Chief of Gunnery of the Cedritz wrote excitedly in his diary.

"Perhaps, we will be the first battleship in this campaign to achieve a capital ship kill record." The captain of the Cedritz looked at the dilapidated war-weariness in the telescope and said confidently.

However, a loud bang broke the captain's dream a dozen seconds later. The battlecruiser Australia, which was at the end of the British fleet, suddenly heard a loud bang from the middle of the hull, and a fire dragon nearly 100 meters high rose into the sky. In just a dozen seconds, a large amount of flames and smoke erupted from the hull, like an active volcano erupting, and the battleship quickly tilted and quickly broke away from the fleet.

Like a hyena with a broken backbone, the British battlecruiser struggled frantically on the sea. But the continuous sound of explosions still sounded the last death knell of this battleship! Less than a minute later, a violent explosion resounded throughout the battlefield. The back half of the ship was lifted out of the water by a huge force, and the front half of the hull broke due to gravity! With a burst of tearing sounds that almost challenged the limits of human hearing, the bow of the ship, which was broken in two, fell directly into the sea, and the second half was directly photographed into several pieces when it fell back to the water!

Just now, a shell from the battleship Weimar fell into the water at a distance of less than 50 meters from the Australia, and after entering the water, the shell continued to move forward like a torpedo after taking off the hood, drawing an elegant and deadly parabola under the surface of the sea as the depth increased! Eventually, the shell hit the hull plate at a depth of 6 meters in the rear of the Australia's hull. Never before has the main armor belt of a battleship been able to extend up to six meters underwater! AND THE TDS STEEL PLATE WITH A THICKNESS OF ONLY 30MM IN AUSTRALIA NATURALLY CAN'T STOP A 350MM ARMOR-PIERCING BULLET! Not surprisingly, the shell penetrated the ammunition depot located in the lower part of the No. 3 turret and was accompanied by a flash of light. The fate of the Australia is sealed!

There was no time to close the compartment, there was no time to fill the water, and in less than 1 minute, the battleship was torn to pieces and sank to the bottom of the sea with more than 800 fresh lives, becoming another sacrifice to the altar of war!

"Who is the sink? It's our queen, or it's a battlecruiser. Seeing the smoke and water in the distance, Major General Moore said in a panic. When I heard this loud bang, it was as if I heard the bell of the end of the world, the end of everything! Afterwards, the rear admiral was still very frightened when he mentioned this incident, and he could not be afraid, as a person who had experienced the Battle of Thunder-Thurbrus and watched the elite battleships and battlecruisers of the British Empire be wiped out one by one under the fire of the German fleet, Rear Admiral Moore had the German fleet in his heart. In particular, the Bavarians have an instinctive fear, which is not cowardice, but forced by the situation!

And now, just 12 minutes after the start of the war, the first capital ship has been knocked to pieces by the other side, and it is impossible to say that you are not afraid! Then Major General Moore glanced worriedly at the wall clock, which seemed to him so hideous and terrible to him! It's like a lifeline.

"Hold on for half an hour? In half an hour, I'm afraid Jericho will be able to collect his body! Major General Moore shook his head and said. The fleet releases a smoke screen, light cruiser detachments attack, and we need to avoid the front for the time being. "In the end, Major General Moore gave this most controversial order in this engagement! He openly disobeyed Jericho's order and turned the fleet to the right by half a lotus, widening the distance between him and the German fleet!

"Damn coward, if he had half the bravery of Betty, then we could end the war today!" Looking at the telegram that Major General Moore had just sent, Charles. Lieutenant General Madden said angrily.
