Chapter 1180: Counter-Killing
If it is a fair fight, his Tiger will definitely not be able to beat Moltke, and New Zealand will be slaughtered in the face of Goeben, although the queen can press Von de Tann to fight, but it is not easy to sink the opponent, and the opponent also has auxiliary warships and backups, in this case, it will definitely be a loss for itself. Although www.biquge.info pen "Fun" Pavilion is a little unwilling, Betty is still ready to lead people to talk!
But unfortunately, when the RP is finally exhausted, it is too late for Betty to take people out of the way! In the fifteenth round and a half of salvos, the battlecruiser Goeben successfully slapped two 350mm shells on the side of New Zealand's slender hull, one shot directly opened a hole in the armor belt in the middle of the hull, and rushed into the boiler room, accompanied by a series of explosions, the middle of the New Zealand continued to spew flames and gunpowder smoke like a volcanic eruption. The explosion was so violent that it even smashed the next door of the boiler room on the opposite side to pieces! In a blaze of fire and thunder, the New Zealand lost more than half of its boilers! The entire battleship trembled in the violent explosion, and it seemed that it could fall apart at any moment!
If this shell brought the New Zealand to the brink of destruction, then another shell directly hammered the last nail in the coffin of the British battlecruiser! This shell, which hit the turret of the No. 4 turret in the tail of New Zealand, directly detonated a dozen shells and more cartridges that were being delivered! A pillar of fire soared up hundreds of meters high, and then a mushroom cloud rose up to make it visible to British pilots flying dozens of kilometers away.
The fire dragon quickly rushed out of the gun mount and ignited the ammunition depot and propellant pack located in the lower part, and the explosion of hundreds of tons of ammunition directly blew the stern of the New Zealand to smithereens! Like a hyena slashed in half, the New Zealand was in its final death throes, with a huge amount of sea water pouring in through the breaches in the stern and middle of the hull, adding so much weight that even lifted the bow of the New Zealand out of the water!
The Grim Reaper didn't keep the New Zealand waiting long, and under the scorching flames and the impact of the sea, the battleship slowly sank to the bottom of the sea, and in the end, the entire hull of the ship tilted sharply to the right due to the loss of balance, and the huge hull slammed into the sea. The tall building was instantly shattered by the reaction force. The knife-like bow of the ship quickly sank into the sea, and after about 2 minutes, there was no trace of the New Zealand on the sea, only a pile of debris and a small number of Royal Navy officers and men who were still struggling to survive!
"Damn battlecruisers! Damn the perfect cat! This kind of thing has the potential and ability to make us lose the war under any conditions! Looking at the New Zealand that was suddenly blown up, Betty even fell into a burst of vertigo for a moment! A mouthful of old blood spurted out, and he shouted three times, "Fisher is a national thief."
"At this moment my heart was completely broken, and I was once again witnessing the miracle that Sir Fisher had wrought! This kind of battleship, which explodes at one point and has no use other than chasing an old cruiser, is actually called the perfect cat! This is simply a brilliant irony of the Royal Navy! Well, I have to say, the name is quite appropriate, these things are very beautiful, they are the best mascots of the Navy in peacetime, like a lady's pet cat. But don't forget one thing, these guys will definitely not go to war! ”
"Well, I used to have 7 such battlecruisers in my hands, but now there is only one! The remaining 6 ships were all sunk! I seem to see my future, and I see the future of Major General Hood! We have already been sentenced to death, it is only a matter of when. "After the battle, Betty was full of resentment and anger in her report! Not even Sir Fisher, whom he had helped, spared no mercy! Of course, this is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being. The first thing Betty has to do now is hurry up and save herself!
"Go, go, go! Pull out the smoke and evacuate quickly! I don't want to stay here for even a minute! Betty said a little frantically. Clouds of smoke were released, and the Tiger began to pick up speed and eventually evacuate the battlefield at a speed of 26.5 knots, and Betty feared that the German fleet that had already been transferred might be able to wipe out her ship in the next ten minutes!
At the same time, Thomas, on the other side, also saw the mushroom cloud rising from the explosion of the New Zealand. Realizing that the British battlecruiser was once again "doing its daily work", Thomas directly chose to run away.
"This really doesn't work, and the Queen Elizabeth-class battleships are a little undurable." Thomas did not mean to shirk his responsibility, and in fact, when the Queen fought against the Bavarian-class battleships, as long as the opponent's RP was not too bad, then it was really the queen who generally knelt, and this gap was definitely not reflected by the paper data such as the thickness of the armor and the caliber of the artillery. In every way, Bavaria is a little stronger than the Queen, and there are some things that Thomas knows why, and some that he doesn't. And then when these things add up, the gap between the two sides is staggering. Sometimes it's not good, and I don't even have a chance to run, for example, this time, the three queens in the back quickly stalled under the repeated blows of the other party. In the case of the loss of overall strength, it is natural to be caught up and killed one by one!
"Maybe after this battle, the Royal Navy will not be able to face the blade of the German fleet again for quite some time!" Looking at the German fleet that was gradually disappearing into the sea, Thomas said with a long sigh.
And in the face of the two British fast warships that once again chose to run away, von . Major General Lefetsov has no desire to pursue, to be honest, the battle just now was really a bit thrilling, if it wasn't for the Goburn to complete part of the repair and re-enter the battle, maybe he would really be hanging, unless he was lucky, he shot directly to the Tiger.
"Let's get ready to close the team, and in addition, contact the flagship Bavaria, and ask for instructions on what to do next, whether to go home directly or evacuate after assembling in the predetermined sea area." Feng. Major General Lefetsov commanded.
Half an hour later, they saw a detachment of 3 Helgrand-class battleships and their accompanying juniors appear in the northwest direction. And after the other party came up, the major general also sent a set of signals to the latter with some resentment: "You guys are really slow!" ”
"The fleet will return directly to port, and we will provide escort for your fleet." The other party didn't care about anything, but couldn't give orders directly.
"What's the situation? Why did neither Prince Ruprecht's flagship nor General Hipper's flagship use radio to issue orders? "Feng. Rear Admiral Lefetsov felt that the situation was very bad, and that there was no radio communication on both flagships, which in itself was not normal.
