"General, turret 4 was completely destroyed, fortunately no further damage was done. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info However, we only have six main guns left! "Staff officer to David? Lieutenant General Betty reported.

"Damn!" David? Lieutenant General Betty scolded.

The current situation is very unfavorable for the battlecruiser 'Lion', which shows that they have been suppressed in this battle. It is not that the quality of the officers and men of the British Navy is inferior to that of the German Navy, then this undoubtedly shows that it is the warships of the British Navy that are inferior to the Germans.

"How could the battleships of the Germans be even better than those of the Royal Navy? It's not scientific at all! "David? Lieutenant General Betty roared in her heart.

The British Navy has always led the trend of naval development in the world. This can be seen from the fact that the British Navy took the lead in building dreadnoughts. This made the British naval commanders think that their warships were the best and the most powerful. However, now that the battlecruiser "Lion" has been suppressed by the same class of battleships of the German Navy, it is naturally difficult for them to believe it.

"Well done, boys! Keep up the good work, give me a hard blow, and sink the British battleship for me! Lieutenant General Spee had a smile on his face. After destroying one of the main turrets of the battlecruiser Lion, they had an even greater advantage in this battle.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The three triple 343mm guns of the Moltke battlecruiser continued to fire, constantly smashing shells at the battlecruiser Lion. Cannonballs rained around the battlecruiser Lion, splashing columns of water into the sky.

At the same time, although the "Lion" battlecruiser only had three twin 343mm guns left, they were still desperately counterattacking. Even though they are at a disadvantage, the Royal Navy's gritty fighting style allows them to persevere even in the face of adversity.

"We haven't lost yet, we're just at a disadvantage for the time being. With a little luck, we can get a hit in the next battle and inflict heavy damage on the Germans, and we can come back from the tables! "David? Lieutenant General Betty thought to herself.

Meanwhile, David? Lieutenant General Betty also ordered the Signal Corps to continue to send telegrams to the Princess Royal and Queen Mary to bring reinforcements. He knew that it would be difficult for the battlecruiser "Lion" alone to defeat the battlecruiser "Moltke" of the German Navy, let alone sink it. Only by gathering more warships will it be possible to achieve this strategic goal.

"Boom!"

At 2:44 p.m., the battlecruiser Moltke hit again in this round of salvos. A 343-mm shell hit the foredeck of the battlecruiser "Lion". The weak foredeck armor, which was directly pierced, exploded inside the battleship, igniting a raging fire.

The valiant British sailors, wearing gas masks, rushed to the fire in an attempt to extinguish the fire in the shortest possible time. Otherwise, if the fire is allowed to burn, it will only cause more damage to the battleship. However, the fires produced after the explosion of the shells are often highly toxic, and even if you wear a gas mask, you cannot ensure that you will not inhale toxic smoke. Therefore, it is often difficult for the British sailors who participated in the fire to get out alive after rushing into the fire. But even so, these British sailors were fearless and did everything in their power to extinguish the fire.

"Shit! Why did the Germans hit so accurately? More accurate than us? Could it be that the quality of the German naval officers and men has surpassed that of the British Empire? How is this possible? "Such a result, so that David? Lieutenant General Betty could not accept it.

"Fight back, keep fighting back! Give those damn Germans a little color! ”

They were hit one after another, which greatly affected the morale of the British naval officers and men on the "Lion" battlecruiser. However, even so, they did not give up because of their perseverance.

"What about the Royal Princess and Queen Mary? When will you be able to arrive? "David? Lieutenant General Betty asked. Now, he is even more eager for reinforcements to arrive in time.

"General, they're on their way." Colonel Kevin replied.

Because of the underestimation of the combat effectiveness of the German Navy's battlecruisers, the situation of the battlecruiser "Lion" is now very dangerous. If reinforcements could not arrive in time, the battle cruiser "Lion" would not be able to defeat the "Moltke" battlecruiser, and even retreating would probably become a big problem.

"Oh God! Let's hope the 'Royal Princess' and the 'Queen Mary' will arrive in time! "David? Lieutenant General Betty secretly prayed to God. At this time, even he, the commander, had some despair in his heart.

On the other hand, the German sailors on the battlecruiser Moltke became more and more courageous. After a series of hits, their morale was greatly boosted and they saw the hope of victory.

"Boys, work hard, the glory of sinking the first capital ship of the British will soon be ours! Now, we can't let this upcoming glory slip away like this! Lieutenant General Shi Pei smiled.

If they were able to sink a British naval capital ship in this battle, it would be the first British naval capital ship to be sunk in this war. It would be a great honor.

The shelling of the battlecruiser Moltke became more intense. Shells continued to fall on the 'Lion' battlecruiser, making the 'Lion' battlecruiser in danger, as if it could be hit again at any time.

"General, the battlecruiser 'Goburn' has called, and they have spotted two battlecruisers of the British Navy, approaching here. There are still twenty minutes left at most, and you will be able to enter the battlefield. A staff officer reported to Lieutenant General Spee.

Vice Admiral Spee couldn't help frowning, two more battle cruisers came to the British Navy, which was not good news for them. If you don't do it, the cooked Masako will fly.

"Order the 'Goeben' to entangle one of the British battle cruisers and let the other come. Even if we are one against two, we may not be afraid of the British. Let the gun emplacements hurry up and sink or damage this British battlecruiser in front of you before the British reinforcements arrive! Lieutenant General Spee ordered.

"Yes, General."

Ten minutes later, the British Navy's battlecruiser HMS Royal Princess arrived on the battlefield. As for the battlecruiser 'Queen Mary', it was dragged down by the battlecruiser 'Goburn'. But even then, the battlecruiser 'Moltke' had to fight with one enemy and two enemies.
