Chapter 1154

In the 8th round, the Hessian made the first hit! Two 15-inch shells hit Moore's flagship like a heavy hammer! The first method shells penetrated from the back of the No. 2 turret. The improved hard and heavy shells easily tore off the top two layers of thin steel plates with a thickness of about 1 inch on the Queen, and the thickness will eventually reach 2 The dome armor and the back panel behind it were shattered!

The roaring motor under the deck was smashed into fragments by artillery shells falling from the sky. A huge fireball engulfed countless fragments and broke through the fragile steel plate into the air! The entire battleship seemed to be trembling and shaking constantly in this hit. And another shell hit directly on the front armor belt of the Queen Elizabeth-class battleship, and then easily tore a large hole of several square meters!

The Mecklenburg in the back did the same thing. A shell directly blasted half of the Barlem’s chimney to pieces, and thick smoke like ink poured back into the power compartment, causing at least two boilers to extinguish. The Malaya and Prestige, located in the middle of the British fleet, saved a bit of face for the Royal Navy. The Malaya successfully hit the prince’s flagship Bavaria and penetrated a secondary gun turret. A 150MM secondary gun was combined with the gun group. The bomb was smashed, and the Prestige hit the No. 4 turret of the battleship Baden. The armor belt of the turret was fine, but one of the main barrels was cut off...

At present, the battleship that has been hit the most is the Warspite battleship, which was fired at the same time by the Vonder Tann and the Cedric. Although the nine 12-inch guns of the Vonde Tahn are not a threat to the Queen, the eight 350mm guns of the Cedric have almost penetrated deep at this distance. However, the rate of fire of these two battleships can reach three rounds per minute! A total of 17 main guns, shot three times a minute! How horrible this TM is! Even if it was all solid iron bumps, theoretically 20 tons of steel would be smashed in one minute!

Thus, from the 8th minute after the war exhaustion was hit, a round of shells continued to fall on the British most powerful battleship.

"In less than 5 minutes, I have observed no fewer than 8 hits on that poor warship! The No. 1 turret in the bow of the ship should have been destroyed. I can clearly see the billowing smoke. The armor belt of the gun gallery seems to have been hit twice. The smoke and flames have covered the entire gun gallery. The British’s No. 3 turret should also have a problem. I can be sure that one shell hit the lower part of the No. 3 turret. Destroyed the ammunition lifting equipment or the turret rotating equipment inside." The Cedric's gunner wrote in his diary excitedly.

"Perhaps, we will be the first battleship to obtain a battleship kill record in this battle." The captain of the Cedric looked at the dilapidated war exhaustion in the telescope and said confidently.

However, a loud noise more than ten seconds later broke the captain's dream. The battlecruiser Australia, the last of the British fleet, suddenly heard a loud noise from the middle of the hull, and a fire dragon nearly 100 meters high rose into the sky. In just ten seconds, a large amount of flames and thick smoke gushed out from the hull, like an active volcano that was erupting, the warship tilted quickly and quickly left the fleet.

Like a hyena whose backbone was interrupted, this British battlecruiser struggled wildly on the sea. But the continuous explosions sounded the final death knell of this warship! About less than a minute later, a violent explosion resounded across the battlefield. The second half of this warship was lifted out of the water by a huge force, and the front half of the ship broke due to gravity! Accompanied by bursts of tearing sounds that almost challenged the limit of human hearing, the bow of the broken hull fell directly into the sea, and the second half was directly photographed into several segments when it fell back to the surface!

Just now, a shell of the battleship Weimar fell into the water at a distance of less than 50 meters from the USS Australia. The shell after entering the water continued to advance like a torpedo after the hood was removed, and its depth continued to increase. An elegant and deadly parabola was drawn under the sea! Eventually the shell hit the hull plate of the Australian ship 6 meters below the middle and rear of the hull. Never before has the main armor belt of a battleship extended to six meters underwater! The Australian TDS steel plate with a thickness of less than 30mm naturally cannot stop a 350mm armor-piercing bullet! Not surprisingly, this shell penetrated into the ammunition depot located in the lower part of the No. 3 turret, and was accompanied by a flash of light. The fate of Australia is locked here!

There was no time to close the compartments and water injection. In less than 1 minute, the warship was torn to pieces and sank to the bottom of the sea with more than 800 lives, becoming another sacrifice to the altar of war. Product!

"Who sank the battle? Is it our queen or a battlecruiser." Seeing the thick smoke and the rising water column in the distance, Major General Moore said in a panic. "When I heard this loud noise, I seemed to hear the bell of the doomsday, ending everything!" Afterwards, the major general was still very scared when he mentioned this matter, and he was not afraid of it. One experienced the Thunder-Surbrus battle and watched the elite battleships and battlecruisers of the British Empire extinguished in the German fleet after a few fires~lightnovelpub.net~Major General Moore was against the German fleet in his heart. Especially the group of Bavarians have an instinctive fear. This is not timid, but forced by the situation!

And now, just 12 minutes into the war, the first battleship has been knocked to pieces by the opponent, it is impossible to say that you are not afraid! Then Major General Moore looked worriedly at the wall clock hanging on the wall. At this moment, the hour and minute hands on the wall clock looked so hideous and terrifying to him! It's like a reminder.

"Hold on for half an hour? In half an hour, I'm afraid Jericho can collect his body!" Major General Moore shook his head and said. "The fleet releases the smoke screen, the light cruiser squadron is attacking, we need to temporarily avoid the edge." In the end, Major General Moore issued the most controversial order in this engagement! He blatantly disobeyed Jericho's order and made the fleet turn right half a Roman classic, opening the distance with the German fleet!

"Damn coward, if he is half as brave as Betty, then we can end the war today!" Lieutenant General Charles Madden said angrily as he watched the telegram sent by Major General Moore.
