One of the torpedoes hit the area in front of the first turret in the bow, and the powerful torpedo directly tore a wound of more than 7 meters on the side of the hull, and the violent explosion directly blew the entire steel plate into pieces, and at the same time, the hull absorbed a large amount of energy generated by the explosion and directly deformed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info From the angle of von der Tann behind him, you can see that this slender and handsome German battlecruiser has a large concave side chord! And because of the problem of high-speed navigation, a large amount of seawater has poured into it. In just a few minutes, this breach brought more than 1,200 tons of water to the Goeben!

And the second torpedo hit the power compartment in the middle of the hull. Although the underwater defense system with a depth of 3.5 is quite powerful, because of the previous long voyage, the fuel consumption is a little too much, and coincidentally, the part that was hit happened to be the fuel tank was not so ......full. The upper part of the heavy oil layer, which was originally nearly 1 meter thick, was almost empty, so the defense power was somewhat compromised.

After the violent explosion, the last line of defense of the hull was torn apart, and a large amount of seawater poured into the boiler room on the third floor of the Goeben, but fortunately, only the rightmost compartment was flooded, and Yongxiong's seawater carried a large number of metal fragments to directly extinguish the flames in the boiler, cut off the steam pipes, and instantly submerged the personnel inside, and in less than 3 minutes, the Goeben lost one-third of its power. Some of the seawater even poured into other places through the broken chambers. One by one, the release gates were closed, but even so, this torpedo brought more than 800 tons of water to the Goeben!

After the battleship instantly increased its displacement by almost 2000 tons, the angle of inclination of the entire battleship quickly increased to about 15 degrees. By this time, the Goeben had lost its combat effectiveness. The speed will also be further reduced. If there is also a British submarine around, then the ship is really dangerous. But fortunately, at the current speed of submarine torpedo reloading, it would be good to be able to reload after 40 minutes, so for the Germans, this wave of torpedo attacks was the beginning and the last.

"Immediately recall the light cruisers and destroyers, our hunt failed." Feng. Rear Admiral Lefetsov looked at the battleship Queen Elizabeth, which had gradually distanced itself in the distance, and decided to stop the pursuit, let the destroyer come back and do anti-submarine work first, and at the same time carry out emergency repairs on the Goeben. See how to bring it back.

The Germans did a decent job of disposing of it, and the water doors in the surrounding compartments were lowered. The pumping machine is driven by electricity and starts the drainage operation. Of course, because the torpedo is a bit big, it is impossible to plug it directly, so they can only try to reduce the water inlet, and at the same time, the pipe that can be used at the bottom of the boat is activated, and the right part of the water is introduced to the left side. As a result of a series of efforts, the water intake into the hull gradually balanced. The angle of inclination has also recovered from 17.5 degrees at its maximum to about 12 degrees, but the water ingress of the battleship has increased to 2,300 tons .......

Although it suffered a heavy blow, but if there was no follow-up blow, von. Lefetsov did not think that it would be a big problem for him to bring back the battleship. Thomas in the distance should not dare to come back, and after the destroyer returns, the possibility of a submarine attack is also very small. However, at this time, the sudden fire in the distance made the major general's heart tighten!

"Paralysis!!" What's going on here?! The major general looked at the fireballs that kept shining in the distance and scolded loudly! The distance between the other party and your own is very close, only about 12 to 14 kilometers! And the target they aimed at was the battleship Goeben, which had just been heavily damaged! Dozens of seconds later, huge columns of water surrounded the badly injured battleship.

"Release the smoke screen and cover the Goburn!" Now Feng. Rear Admiral Lefetsov had the complete feeling of a dog, but this did not prevent him from making the right decision, and the smoke screen released by the Goeben quickly obscured the hull of the ship, while relying on the remaining momentum to withdraw away from the battlefield. And the battlecruisers Moltke and von der Tann turned to meet the enemy!

"Damn maggots, stay there and I won't find you! Now that you're out, it's looking for death! "The Rear Admiral vented his evil anger on the two British battlecruisers that took advantage of the fire to rob! At this time, Jericho also tried his best to contact Thomas to see if he could take out the battered battleship.

Of course, because the Tiger's communication antenna was destroyed, Betty could only send the signal to the New Zealand in the back through the flag and lights, and then the New Zealand telegraph to the Queen Elizabeth. In just a few minutes, the two sides exchanged at least 6 times, and as for the content of the exchange, it can be completely simplified into the following conversation.

Betty: There's a thunderbolt on the other side, so come over and kill it.

Thomas: Get the bandage back in the blood, or get out of here.

Betty: Hairy! Take advantage of his illness to kill him!

Thomas: Parents are here, be careful!

Now the situation is very simple, Betty, who is as aggressive as a bullfight, wants to take advantage of the situation to fight back. However, Thomas's battleship Queen Elizabeth was not in good condition, although it was not broken, but it was disgraced. After putting out the fire and cleaning up, it was only ten minutes to pass. The German fleet was around, and it would be bad if the German battleships surrounded the German battlecruisers again when they beat them violently! But at this time, Thomas was embarrassed to leave directly, after all, he could run out, Betty helped in general, this kind of behavior of betraying teammates without saying a word, Thomas still can't do it.

"Wait for me for ten minutes, we only have a chance of half an hour at most, and if we can't sink the opponent, then we have to go no matter what!" In the end, it was Thomas who compromised. In addition to the fact that there are opportunities on the battlefield, another important factor is that Thomas is not reconciled! More than half of the capital ships were killed in this way, which is unbalanced in anyone's heart!

Twelve minutes later, the Queen Elizabeth-class battleship finally aimed its guns at the Rear Admiral's flagship, the Moltke! Immediately after 6 15-inch guns joined the battle, the situation for the German fleet immediately became quite bad!

"Release the smoke immediately, let's delay a bit." The Moltke, which was attacked by crossfire from the two battleships of the Tiger and the Queen, immediately released smoke to dodge, while the three British battleships in the distance did not give up, but continued to surround the German fleet for opportunities. As the minutes passed, the situation on the battlefield changed slightly.

"We've plugged some of the gaps, and although one of the nacelles was destroyed, the other three were still working pretty well." On the battleship Goeben in Central Thunder, the officer in charge of damage management reported to the captain, Colonel Halden.
