The 2nd Battleship Detachment of the British Navy, Rear Admiral Benjamin, was watching the sinking of the battleship 'Barham', which was not easy to hold on to until now. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the battle just now, the battleship 'Barham' was hit again. A 380-mm shell and a 343-mm shell hit the 'Balham' at the same time.

A shell hit the stern, blowing off the steering gear of the battleship 'Barham' and causing serious flooding of the battleship. Another shell tore through the underwater armor of the battleship 'Barham'. Although, underwater armor up to 330 mm thick was very defensive. However, the 380-mm shells still tore it apart directly. After the shell exploded, a large hole was blown out directly below the waterline of the battleship 'Barham'. The sea rushed into the battleship 'Barham' in a frenzy, and the damage control personnel did not even have a chance to plug the loopholes. Even when they tried to close the watertight door, they were not able to succeed.

Eventually, the battleship 'Barham' capsized due to too much water. Then the entire hull quickly sank into the sea.

"Damn, the 'Balham' was sunk, which one is next? Is it the 'Malaya', or our flagship 'Queen Elizabeth'? Major General Benjamin thought secretly. For victory, he has almost completely lost confidence.

At this time, the main fleet of the British Navy was rapidly moving south, and hundreds of warships were spread on the sea, looking very mighty and majestic.

It's just that on the battleship 'Revenge', the commander of the British Navy's Grand Fleet, John? Admiral Jericho kept frowning.

"General, General Betty reports that the 'Queen Mary' has been sunk." A communications officer reported.

"I see!" John? Admiral Jericho replied with a blank face.

In the entire command tower, the atmosphere was about to freeze. The Royal Navy lost once again one battlecruiser, leaving them with only two battlecruisers. David? With only the remaining two battle cruisers, Vice Admiral Betty was undoubtedly very, very difficult to withstand the siege of the six battle cruisers of the Germans. Maybe soon they'll hear bad news again.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, the communications officer went on to ask John ? Admiral Jericho reports on the military situation.

"General, General Benjamin reports that the battleship 'Barham' was sunk."

John? Admiral Jericho's face was already gloomy at the moment, as if he could drip water. Once again, they lost one battlecruiser and one battleship, leaving them with a total of five capital ships before dueling with the main German navy. This is already a very powerful force for the Royal Navy.

The officers in the command tower didn't even dare to come out now, for fear of angering John? Admiral Jericho.

"How long will it take for us to be on the battlefield?" John? Admiral Jericho asked.

"General, at the current pace, in about half an hour, we will be able to arrive at the battlefield." A staff officer reported.

"Half an hour? Order the ships and get ready for battle. When you arrive at the battlefield, attack immediately. This time, we must make the Germans pay with blood! "John? Admiral Jericho ordered.

The heavy loss made his whole person fall into madness. His only thought was to sink the German Navy's warships and avenge the sunken ones.

Just, John? Admiral Jericho also knew that it would be very difficult.

On the battlefield, fierce battles continued. Six battleships of the 1st Battlecruiser Detachment of the German Navy laid siege to the two remaining battlecruisers of the British Navy's Battlecruiser Detachment.

Cannonballs continued to fall around the battlecruisers "Tiger" and "Royal Princess", splashing columns of water into the sky. The water splashed down and even drenched the deck of the battleship.

The British sailors on the battleship were even more nervous. Even many people are already scared. There is no doubt that they have a good understanding of the current situation. I also know that if the war doesn't go well, if they don't pay attention, they may follow in the footsteps of those sunken warships.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, an earth-shattering explosion was heard.

I saw the battlecruiser 'Royal Princess', completely shrouded in fire and smoke.

"What's going on?" David? Lieutenant General Betty asked.

"General, the main turret of the 'Royal Princess' has been hit, and it looks like it has detonated the ammunition depot." An officer reported with a pale face.

David? Lieutenant General Betty suddenly closed her eyes in pain. After suffering such a blow, you don't have to think about it to know that the battlecruiser 'Royal Princess' is hopeless.

Indeed, the battlecruiser HMS Royal Princess, which had been blown up almost entirely in the bow, sank into the sea in less than two minutes.

As a result, the British Navy's battle cruiser detachment was reduced to only one battle cruiser. Moreover, it was still under siege by the battle cruiser detachments of the German Navy. How long they will be able to hold out depends on God's will.

"Well done! Besiege the remaining battlecruisers of the British 'Tiger' and sink them all! Lieutenant General Hippert ordered excitedly.

If all the British Navy's battle cruisers could be destroyed, it would also be a great victory.

It's just that Lieutenant General Hipper's goal has not been achieved. Because, just when the battlecruiser 'Tiger' was under siege and in danger, the main fleet of the British Navy arrived.

"Fire!"

With John? Admiral Jericho gave an order, and the six 'revenge-class' battleships immediately launched an artillery bombardment.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

One after another, 381 mm shells, accompanied by an earth-shattering roar, smashed into the battleships of the 1st Battle Cruiser Detachment of the German Navy under the angry gaze of the British Navy officers and men.

Lieutenant General Hipper, who hesitated slightly, gave the order to retreat. After all, preserving one's own strength is the most important thing. He didn't want to put his own battleship in order to sink the battlecruiser 'Tiger', which would be too cost-effective.

"To His Excellency the Commander and the 2nd Battlecruiser Detachment, inform that the main forces of the British have appeared. Especially on the side of General Spee, let them seize the opportunity and take out the British 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships. Lieutenant General Hipper ordered.
