The formation of battlecruisers of the German Navy, which finally arrived on the battlefield. Although, before they arrived, the main fleet of the German Navy's High Seas Fleet had gradually turned the tide and gained the upper hand. However, the arrival of the battle cruiser formation would allow the German Navy to win the war more quickly.

"Ships prepare, aim at the fleet of the British, fire!" Vice Admiral Spee, on the flagship battlecruiser "Mackenson", gave the order to open fire.

At this time, the place where the battlecruiser formation of the German Navy appeared, right in front of the 2nd battle line of the British fleet, a perfect T-shape, was formed. The distance between the two sides is only 12,000 kilometers.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The three triple 50-caliber 380-mm guns of the battlecruiser 'Mackensen' began to fire fiercely. Nine shells weighing a ton whizzed down on the battleship Nevada, which was at the forefront of the 2nd battle line of the British fleet.

The firing of the battlecruiser "Mackensen" was like sending a clear signal, and the remaining ten battlecruisers also began to shoot.

For a while, shells rained down around the battleship 'Nevada'.

Although, the distance is not close, and there has been no test firing. However, the dense firepower formed by 11 battle cruisers and 99 main guns firing at the same target was still very terrifying. Not to mention that among the 99 main guns, 54 are 380 mm guns, and there are 27 343 mm guns and 18 305 mm guns. These main guns are 50 times the caliber, which makes these shells extremely armor-piercing.

"Oh God! The battlecruisers of the Germans came. They're right in front of us, and they've grabbed the T-head! "The British officers and men on the battleship 'Nevada' all shouted and shouted.

Lieutenant General Martin's face turned even pale. The arrival of the battle cruiser formation of the German Navy was undoubtedly desperate news for them. To make matters worse, the battle cruiser formations of the German Navy also targeted them.

"Turn! Turn now! Lieutenant General Martin shouted. In the event that the enemy fleet preempts the T-head, they will be hit by the intensive fire of the enemy's fleet. The enemy's 11 battlecruisers possessed extremely strong firepower, enough to easily send them to the bottom of the sea.

"Boom!"

The battleship 'Nevada' shook violently, and a fireball erupted from the bow. Lieutenant General Martin was caught off guard and fell to the deck. But he immediately got up and asked loudly about the loss.

"General, a big hole has been blown out of the foredeck, and the cabin below is burning! The damage management has begun to control the loss. ”

"Bastard!" Lieutenant General Martin couldn't help but scold.

However, before he could finish scolding, the battleship 'Nevada' was once again hit by a shell.

The 11 German battlecruisers concentrated their fire on him, and it was very normal for the battleship Nevada to be hit constantly under such dense firepower.

Although, the defense of the battleship 'Nevada' was very strong. However, the German Navy's 50-caliber 380-mm guns were still capable of inflicting fatal damage. The armor of the 'Nevada-class' battleships was only 330 mm, except for the turret armor, which was 457 mm thick. In the face of a 380-mm gun of fifty times the caliber, these armors were nothing at all, and they could easily be penetrated.

"Boom!"

A 380-mm gun fired from the battlecruiser "Prince Frederick" slammed into the No. 1 main gun on the foredeck of the battleship "Nevada". The 457 mm thick armor was indeed very strong and withstood this shell. However, the shell exploded only when it had penetrated almost half of the armor. The violent explosion blew up the entire frontal armor of the turret. The next time, if another shell hits this turret, even a 305-mm shell will probably be able to penetrate it.

At this moment, the battleship 'Nevada' has begun to turn. It's just that in such a situation, this is not a very good order. This would make the battleship Nevada flank the German Navy's battle cruiser formation, which would further increase the likelihood of him being hit. Moreover, the armor on the sides of the battleship is not thick. Once hit, the consequences can be imagined.

A 343-mm shell hit the waterline armor on the side of the battleship 'Nevada'. Waterline armor, only 330 mm thick, was torn open this time and blew a large hole.

Efforts were made to plug the loophole, but were unsuccessful, and the watertight compartment had to be closed.

Immediately afterwards, a 305-mm shell hit the superstructure of the battleship 'Nevada'. A large hole was blown out of it, and at the same time a raging fire was caused.

When the battleship 'Nevada' turned, it was constantly hit. Whether it is 380 mm shells, 343 mm shells and 305 mm shells, they are constantly leaving wounds on their bodies.

Although, the battleship "Nevada" had a displacement of up to 30,000 tons, and also had thick armor. However, under such a strong firepower, it still couldn't hold on.

In three minutes, the battleship **** Huada' was hit by more than a dozen large-caliber shells. More than half were 380 mm guns. Almost the entire side was blown to pieces. The sea rushed into the battleship in a frenzy. As a result, the hull of the ship has been tilted. Moreover, as more and more water enters the ship, the angle of inclination of the hull is also increasing, and the final result will inevitably be capsizing on the sea.

Under such circumstances, Vice Admiral Martin gave the order to abandon the ship, and at the same time he himself took a transport boat and transferred to the rear battleship to continue directing the battle. He did not choose the battleship Oklahoma following the battleship Nevada as the new abandoned ship, but the battleship New York as the new abandoned ship.

Because Vice Admiral Martin knew that after the sinking of the battleship Nevada, the next battle cruiser formation of the German Navy to fire at the "Oklahoma". Under the heavy fire of the German Navy, the fate of the battleship "Oklahoma" must have been very tragic. Even if you are lucky enough not to be sunk, at least you will be hit hard. In this case, he will have to give the order to abandon the ship again and replace his flagship.
