And Stettin naturally did not confront the queen, immediately released the smoke screen, and then hid in the shadows, and fortunately, the British battleship had no intention of staying here, and immediately flashed after forcing the opponent back. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info And this battleship was the Malaya that was the first to leave after Thomas ordered the fleet to be disbanded and each fled for his life!

Contrary to what most Britons think, the Malaya did not intend to sacrifice herself to fulfill others! Colonel Sinclair's idea is, in short, fishing in troubled waters! "If, after the German warships have killed our auxiliary ships, and then come up and catch us, then we have no chance at all, and to give a more figurative example, our warships are like fish in a pond. And the Germans are like fishermen with trawls. Their encirclement quickly closed in the center, and the only chance was to run out of the loophole before the other side was completely encircled, and we couldn't wait, we couldn't even escape from the direction they expected, because it was a trap set for us by the hunters! ”

To paraphrase an old Eastern proverb, you are taking advantage of it! The German fleet did not expect that at this time the British would do the opposite, rushing up against the blade of the German fleet. Of course, Colonel Sinclair was also better commanded, although they followed the lightning strike force to attack, but they were behind the lightning strike force, and their position was exactly downwind, so that the smoke screen released by the British light cruisers and destroyers was a good cover for this "stowaway".

In this case, if you add some luck to it, the two German fleets that were staring at the main force of Thomas's fleet did not expect that such a battleship would run out of the gap between their two fleets, if it was two ships that ran out this time, then it was possible that the target was too big and was discovered, but coincidentally, this time it was the Malaya that was in the best condition in the fleet, and the only one who chose to take advantage of the fire, ran out, and when it came out, the radio communication equipment of the Stettin was scrapped......。 Therefore, the bold Colonel Sinclair managed to escape with the Malaya.

Of course, this kind of behavior is suspected of taking the blame for the entire fleet. Although this method saved the battleship, although it was excusable, for the Royal Navy, which advocated dedication and sacrifice, this kind of behavior was after all the responsibility of many people. Of course, this is an afterthought, let's put the perspective back on the main battlefield, at this time, the dominant German auxiliary warships have basically completely emptied the British light cruisers and destroyers, except for leaving a small number of troops to continue to deal with the remaining enemy, more than 70% of the British auxiliary warships have been sunk, or ready to sink ....... And the remaining 4 Queen Elizabeth-class battleships that were hugged together were also bitten by the German fleets rushing from all directions!

The Goeben, Moltke, and Von der Tann, commanded by Rear Admiral Lefetsov, were three thoroughbred battle cruisers, and their main target was Thomas's flagship, the Queen Elizabeth, which had remained relatively intact. Originally, there would have been the Cedritz, but because of a torpedo, the Cedritz, which was not up to standard, had to besiege the British battleship that had slowed down with the other capital ships.

Bite the opponent's Hippert fleet first! The 4 Bavaria-class battleships took the lead and caught up with the Queen Elizabeth-class battleships at the back of the seventh ship Counterattack! This battleship has entered more than 1,500 tons of water in the battle just now, the battleship has been tilted by 5 degrees, and the power system has also suffered certain losses. Now the maximum speed is about 22 knots. Faced with this English warship, which had become a lame wolf, Hipper decided that arranging 4 Bavarians was too much of a luxury, so he decided to send 2 to continue the pursuit of the other queens.

At the last moment of the counterattack, the British battleship, which had just been in service for less than 3 months, tried to fight back, and the desperate jackal did have some impact on the lion, two 15-inch shells hit the bow of the Deshaw, one of the shells tore through the bow armor belt of the 6-inch thick, and the fragments after the explosion pierced through 2 compartments, and the other shell actually hit the water, this shell hit the Deshaw 5 meters below the water like a torpedo. The sharp warhead easily tore through three layers of highly elastic steel plates, and exploded before approaching the last lightning wall!

The large charge of the British shells was really not a joke, and countless fragments blew apart the outer mine protection next door in the lower part of the turret. However, the heavy oil tank in the middle also played a great role, and the viscous heavy oil with a thickness of nearly 1 meter inside greatly weakened the impact of the shrapnel. And the last layer of the Bavaria's underwater defense system has also proved to be reliable enough. THE 75MM THICK LIGHTNING WALL EXTENDING FROM THE MAIN ARMOR BELT SUCCESSFULLY BLOCKED THE FRAGMENTS, AND AFTER A CRACKLING IMPACT, NOT EVEN A CRACK WAS .......

However, a large amount of water ingress was inevitable, and this shell brought 900 tons of water to the battleship, but through the underwater communicator, some of the water was pumped to the countermeasure compartment. A few minutes later, the Bavarian tilt angle was corrected. Hipper said the blow, while insidious, was not ...... effective.

The Counterattack, however, was in danger under siege by two Bavarian-class battleships. Three minutes after another engagement, the Weimar made its first hit, and this shell directly greatly advanced the defeat of the counterattack! With a piercing whistling sound, the 875KG shell successfully hit the stern of the Prestige, and the horizontal incident shell easily tore through the horizontal armor of the upper part of the stern steering engine room, and then smashed the equipment and personnel inside, and this shell felt that it was not powerful enough, and after falling to the floor and exploding, the violent explosion opened a big hole in the bottom of the ship! With a loud bang and the sound of metal tearing, a steering gear and a propeller on the side of the Prestige's hull were directly unloaded! The huge propeller shaft made a noise that was enough to make people collapse. A few minutes later, the British on the entire battleship knew that the Weimar was no longer operational!

Then the rest of the battle went into a state of targeting, facing like an antelope with a broken limb, two Bavaria-class battleships threw shells onto each other's hulls from a distance of 12 kilometers like targets, the violent explosion and the flames that rose in the air never stopped, and after less than a quarter of an hour of attack, when the Weimar smashed the last main turret No. 4 that could counterattack into a burning iron box, the battleship completely lost its combat effectiveness.
