Chapter 248: Desperate Situation (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

"General, the 'Emperor of India' was heavily damaged and lost two main turrets. Pen, Fun, Cabinet www.biquge.info" Staff Officer reports to Major General Robertson.

"Damn!" Major General Robertson's face was gloomy, as if he could drip water.

The 380 mm guns of the German Navy's 'De Fringel-class' battlecruisers were too powerful for their 'Iron Duke-class' battleships to resist at all.

"Let's hope General Betty's side will win soon! Otherwise, we're doomed. Major General Robertson thought secretly.

Now, Maj. Gen. Robertson can only pin his hopes on Davy? Lieutenant General Betty is on board. He understood that it was almost impossible to defeat three German 'De Vellinger-class' battlecruisers with four 'Iron Duke-class' battleships.

"Boom!"

A loud explosion sounded, and Major General Robertson only felt as if his body was flying.

"Boom!" Immediately, Major General Robertson slammed into the ground, dizzy.

"Damn, we were hit. Report the loss! Major General Robertson immediately got up from the ground and asked loudly.

Two minutes later, a staff officer reported to him: "General, the ship's amidships have been shot and two secondary guns have been lost. Fortunately, it is above the waterline, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. ”

Major General Robertson also breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately the place where he was hit was on the side side, above the water. If it was below the waterline, he had no doubt that their weak waterline armor would not be able to withstand the terrifying power of the 380mm guns.

"Bastard! Why did the 'Marlborough' fight for so long and not hit the battleship of the Germans? Maj. Gen. Robertson was furious. It stands to reason that the battleship Marlborough should have been easier to hit without interference.

"General, the Marlborough has completed its straddle and is ready to fire. Hit the battleship of the Germans, it will only take a little time. The staff officer persuaded.

"Time? I also want to give them time. But will the Germans give us time? Maj. Gen. Robertson was furious.

True, the German Navy was definitely not going to give them time.

Five minutes later, the battlecruiser 'Hindenburg' hit the battleship 'Emperor of India' again. A 380 mm shell pierced the stern armor of the battleship 'Emperor of India', burrowed into the hull and exploded. The huge power directly blew up the transmission shaft. As a result, the battleship 'Emperor of India' lost power, became slower and slower, and soon lay on the surface of the sea like a dead dog.

When Rear Admiral Robertson learned the news, he was silent for a long time, as if he couldn't believe that they were about to lose a battleship so soon. If the battleship 'Emperor of India' had been sunk, then, in a three-to-three situation, they would have even less chance of winning.

"Send a telegram to General Betty, we have done our best. However, the enemy is very strong, and I am afraid we will not be able to hold out for long. Major General Robertson ordered.

"Yes, General."

"Good, well done, lads. Send a telegram to the 'Hindenburg' and ask them to send the British battleship to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish in ten minutes. "Reinhardt? Admiral Scheer ordered excitedly. It was as if he had seen victory, not just this naval victory, but also this one.

"Yes, General." The communications officer, who was also excited, immediately went to send a telegram.

Got Reinhardt? After Admiral Scheer's telegram, the shelling of the 'Hindenburg' intensified. Heavy shells smashed down on the battleship "Emperor of India". Columns of water rose from all sides of the battleship "Emperor of India".

The British officers and sailors aboard the battleship 'Emperor of India' also seemed to know their fate. However, they still did not give up their resistance and still seized the time to fire on the battlecruiser "Hindenburg".

However, the reaction of the battleship 'Emperor of India' was nothing more than a death throes.

Five minutes later, the battlecruiser 'Hindenburg' hit the battleship 'Emperor of India' again. Because the battleship "Emperor of India" was getting slower and slower, almost forbidden, in this round of salvo, the battleship "Hindenburg" fired nine 380-mm shells, three of which hit.

The battleship "Emperor of India" was directly broken in two in the violent explosion and quickly sank into the sea. All the officers and men of the navy on the battleship sank into the sea with the battleship, and none of them survived.

'Oh God!' The Emperor of India' was sunk. "On the battleship 'Iron Duke', there was an exclamation.

Major General Robertson's face turned pale and he didn't say a word.

"Good, adjust the shooting target.' Lützov attacked Marlborough and Hindenburg attacked Benbau. It's now three-on-three, and in an hour, solve the battle! "Reinhardt? Admiral Scheer gave the order with a smile on his face.

On the battlecruiser 'Tiger', David? Lieutenant General Betty frowned, the current situation was becoming more and more unfavorable for them. Originally, he thought that with his numerical superiority, they could defeat the German Navy's broken fleet. But now it seems that everything is too simple for him to think.

"General, General Robertson called, the 380-mm naval guns of the German fleet are very powerful, and they are about to lose their hold." The communications officer reported.

David? Lieutenant General Betty frowned: "Let Major General Robertson find a way to hold on for a while longer." ”

"Yes, General."

Soon, though, the communications officer returned.

"General, the 'Emperor of India' has been sunk." The communications officer reported.

"What?" David? Lieutenant General Betty was stunned, as if in disbelief. You must know that the 'Iron Duke-class' battleship is the most powerful battleship in the British Navy! Before the 'Queen Elizabeth-class' and 'Vengeance-class' battleships entered service, they were the main force of the Royal Navy. But now, one was sunk so quickly, which undoubtedly showed that the battleships of the German Navy were much stronger than they had expected. The remaining three 'Iron Duke-class' battleships may not last much time either.

"Let General Robertson do his best to hold on first, and then I'll figure it out." David? Lieutenant General Betty was worried. Now they seem to have fallen into a desperate situation.
