Chapter 451: Dilemma (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"Your Excellency, the battleship 'Ramillis' has been sunk. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info "A staff officer to John? Admiral Jericho reported.
John? Admiral Jericho and David? Vice Admiral Betty witnessed the sinking of the battleship Ramillis. This made their hearts very sad. The 'Vengeance-class' battleships are their most powerful battleships! I didn't expect it to be sunk by the German Navy so easily. Then, the remaining 'revenge-class' battleships may not be able to withstand the attack of the Germans! It can be said that they have lost this battle. Next, these capital ships of theirs are afraid that they will be sunk by the German Navy one after another.
It was at this time that the battleship "Resolve" of the British Navy finally hit the battleship "Saxony" of the German Navy. A 380-mm shell hit the gun mount of the No. 1 main turret of the battleship 'Saxony'. Although, the battleship 'Saxony' had gun mount armor up to 380 mm thick. However, the angle of this shell fired by the battleship 'Determination' was too tricky. After the shell exploded, the No. 1 main turret of the battleship "Saxony" was directly overturned. At the same time, because the front main gun of the battleship 'Saxony' was designed as a knapsack turret, the No. 2 main gun was also implicated and could not continue firing. As a result, the battleship 'Saxony' lost two-thirds of its firepower at once.
"Well done!" Seeing this, John? Admiral Jericho and David? Lieutenant General Betty, couldn't help but shout loudly. But at the same time, they also feel a little regretful. If the battleship Determination had been able to hit the battleship Saxony before the battleship Saxony had taken out the battleship Ramiris, it might have been able to save the Ramiris.
However, it was also a surprise that it was able to inflict heavy damage on the battleship Saxony, causing it to lose most of its combat effectiveness. Otherwise, the Saxony would have joined the bombardment of several other 'Vengeance-class' battleships, which would have been truly deadly.
Before they could enjoy the joy, they were hit, much to the surprise of the German officers and sailors on the battleship "Saxony". In the construction of the Conex? Colonel Ronhalt hurriedly ordered the battleship to turn and regain the distance between it and the British battleship. If you continue to fight at a distance of 10,000 meters, you will be looking for death.
Originally, the sinking of the battleship "Ramiris" further expanded the advantages of the German Navy. However, the battleship 'Saxony' was heavily damaged, and immediately the advantage they gained was greatly reduced.
Reinhart? Admiral Scheer, whose face was already smiling, suddenly darkened a lot. However, if you count it up, the German Navy still took advantage. It was still cost-effective to exchange the heavy damage of a battleship for the sinking of a capital ship by the British. The battleship "Saxony" only needed to return to the shipyard and reinstall the new main guns to be able to restore its combat effectiveness.
"Give the battleship Saxony an order to return home!" Reinhart? Admiral Scheer ordered.
In the case of the loss of two main turrets of the battleship 'Saxony', Reinhardt? Admiral Scheer clearly did not want to let them continue with the adventure.
Still, Gonyx? Colonel Ronhardt, however, refused this order, and he asked Reinhardt? Admiral Scheer pleaded to continue the fight. Although the battleship 'Saxony' lost two main turrets, the third main turret in the tail was able to continue the battle. The triple 380 mm main gun can still exert extremely strong combat effectiveness.
Reinhart? Admiral Scheer thought about it, and finally agreed with Conex? Colonel Ronhatt's request allowed them to stay and continue the fight.
Next, the battleship "Saxony" began to cooperate with the battleship "Baden" to attack the battleship "Resolve" of the British Navy in an attempt to take revenge. It's just that the battleship 'Saxony', which has only one main turret left, has greatly reduced its combat effectiveness. In the following battle, it didn't play much of a role. But they sank the British Navy's battleship 'Ramiris', which gave the German Navy a greater advantage in this naval battle, which was a great achievement.
With the sinking of the battleships 'Agincourt' and 'Ramillis', the tide of the war became more and more unfavorable for the British Navy. Although, they continue to persevere. However, many officers and soldiers were frustrated. If it weren't for the strong will to fight, maybe they would have collapsed long ago.
After the sinking of the battleship 'Agincourt', the battleships 'Regent Louitpold' and 'Nassau' of the German Navy besieged the battleship 'Ireland' of the British Navy, making the battleship 'Ireland' dangerous.
Although the battleship 'Ireland' had a powerful firepower composed of five twin 343 mm guns, it was still completely suppressed in the face of the siege of two warships of the same class of the German Navy. What's more, the battleship 'Ireland', as a foreign trade type battleship, has a very bad defense itself, and once it is hit, it means a lot of injuries, and even heavy damage.
"Boom!"
A cannonball fired from the battleship 'Ireland' successfully hit the battleship 'Nassau'. The shell hit the conning tower, but alas, the fuse was too sensitive, and the cannonball exploded before it could penetrate the tower's armor. But the tremendous power still stunned the officers who were in the command tower.
As a last resort, the battleship 'Nassau' could only be temporarily commanded by the Navigator. The shelling was also interrupted for several minutes. But it soon recovered.
Seeing that their own artillery bombardment had hit the target, the British officers and men on the battleship 'Ireland' could not help but cheer. It's just that before their cheers fell, the German Navy was still in color. The battleship "Regent of Louitpold" once again showed great combat effectiveness, and a 343-mm shell hit the battleship "Ireland" near the amidship waterline. Although the waterline armor of this part of the battleship 'Ireland' was 305 mm thick, it still could not withstand this shell.
An explosion occurred after the shell tore through the waterline armor of the battleship 'Ireland'. The power was huge, and a big hole was suddenly blown out. Immediately afterwards, the battleship "Regent Louitpold" continued its efforts, and in the following salvo, hit the battleship "Ireland" several times, sending the battleship directly to the bottom of the sea.
