When the battleship Nevada began to sink, Vice Admiral Spee decisively gave the order to transfer the target of the attack. The target of the attack was transferred from the battleship "Nevada" to the battleship "Oklahoma".

After all, the battleship "Nevada" has already begun to sink, and if the shelling continues, it will be a waste of shells. Shells for large-caliber heavy artillery are not cheap per shot. Being able to save a little is a little bit. Besides, there were so many enemy battleships that were not sunk. If there are no shells at the end of the fight, it will be bad.

Eleven battlecruisers began to rain shells on the battleship "Oklahoma". Immediately, the battleship "Oklahoma" experienced what kind of situation the battleship "Nevada" was in just now.

Dense large-caliber shells, if rained down, made the battleship "Oklahoma" like a small ship shrouded in a storm, and could capsize at any time. Although the battleship "Oklahoma" and the battleship "Nevada" were the same class of warships, the defense was also very strong. However, it is still impossible to survive under such intensive firepower.

"Boom!"

A 380-mm shell hit the side of the battleship 'Oklahoma'. The shells hit exactly the battleship's waterline position. Thick armor, not able to withstand 380 mm shells. The shell tore through the armor and exploded, making a large hole in the waterline.

The damage management personnel desperately tried to plug the hole, but as soon as they plugged it, the battleship was hit again. The violent vibration caused the large hole that had just been repaired to crack open again. Sea water poured into the battleship in a frenzy.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

The shells continued to hit the battleship 'Oklahoma', causing the battleship to be constantly wounded.

A 343-mm shell hit the command tower of the battleship 'Oklahoma'. Because of the angle, this shell did not penetrate the armor of the conning tower. However, the officers in the command tower were stunned alive. As a result, there was confusion in the command of the battleship.

A 305-mm shell hit the chimney of the battleship 'Oklahoma'. The tall chimney was blown off in one fell swoop. The chimney that fell down smashed a lot of the superstructure of the battleship.

'Oh God!' The Oklahoma was also hopeless. He could not have survived such heavy fire from the Germans. "After Vice Admiral Martin climbed aboard the battleship 'New York', he immediately saw the tragic sight of the battleship 'Oklahoma'.

Indeed, under the intensive fire of the 11 battlecruisers of the German Navy, the battleship "Oklahoma" categorically had no possibility of escaping. Large-caliber shells continued to fall around the battleship "Oklahoma," and from time to time shells hit the battleship "Oklahoma," causing the wounds on the hull of the ship to continue to increase.

One of the deadliest shells was 'Frederick?' The battleship Karl's hit. A 380-mm shell hit the No. 4 main turret on the aft deck of the battleship 'Oklahoma'. It was a triple 356 mm main turret, armored for later generations. However, the angle of this shell was tricky, hitting the place where the gun mount under the turret and the deck met. The shell pierced through the armor and drilled diagonally, and only after the armor of the ammunition depot underneath did it explode.

More than a hundred 356-mm shells in the ammunition depot were all detonated at this moment.

Only an earth-shattering roar was heard, and the stern of the battleship 'Oklahoma' was enveloped in fire and smoke. When the smoke cleared, the stern of the battleship Oklahoma had disappeared, as if it had been gnawed off by a monster.

Sea water poured frantically from the stern into the battleship Oklahoma. There was nothing they could do about such trauma, and they could only watch as more and more sea water poured into the battleship.

Under such circumstances, the captain of the battleship "Oklahoma" gave the order to retreat. Lieutenant General Martin, on the other hand, was noncommittal. After all, when the battleship is doomed to sink, finding a way to save more lives is the most important thing.

"Oh God! What now? "Lieutenant General Martin is no longer assertive. The loss of two battleships in succession is still the two most powerful battleships in the fleet, which is undoubtedly an extremely serious blow to the strength of the fleet. To make matters worse, now there were only eight battleships left in the fleet, but it was necessary to deal with 11 battleships and 11 battlecruisers of the enemy. This is obviously impossible for them.

At this moment, although the fleet led by Vice Admiral Martin has completed the turn. However, the situation has not improved much. The battle line of his fleet was caught between the 2nd battle line of the German Navy and the formation of battle cruisers.

With the absolute superiority of the German Navy, it was only a matter of time before the fleet led by Vice Admiral Martin was completely disposed of.

The German Navy's battle cruiser formation entered the battlefield and captured the battleships "Nevada" and "Oklahoma" in a very short time, which was undoubtedly a great shock to the Combined Fleet. This undoubtedly means that from now on, the combined fleet is completely at a disadvantage.

"Damn, how did the German battlecruisers come so quickly? Now there were only nine battleships left with General Martin. And almost all of them were battleships that didn't perform very well. Under the siege of 11 battleships and 11 battlecruisers of the Germans, there was no life at all. And here, too, the Germans have an absolute advantage. The current battle situation is very unfavorable for us! "John? Admiral Jericho said.

David? Lieutenant General Betty nodded. Now, they have only 20 capital ships left. However, it was against the Germans 34 capital ships. Moreover, in terms of the performance of these capital ships, they also have no advantage at all. In such a situation, if they want to win, it is almost impossible for them to win.

"General, the French and Italians sent a telegram that they had withdrawn from the battle line and began to retreat!" A staff officer reported to Doau.

"What? The French and Italians ran away? Damn, they dared to retreat without our orders? It's clearly an escape! "John? Admiral Jericho was furious.

The flight of the French and Italians undoubtedly made the situation worse for the entire fleet.
