Chapter 447 Repression

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The heavy shells slammed into the sea, splashing a column of water into the sky, just like a whale spraying water. Occasionally there are sea fish that were killed by the bombing and paid the surface of the water. The war between humans has implicated these innocent marine life.

The German navy and the British navy are engaged in a life-and-death battle in this sea area, making the already unsettled sea area even more uneasy.

When the shelling on both sides just started, they were just test firing. In order to save shells, only when a straddle is formed during the test firing or a direct hit is achieved, it will be switched to concentrated fire shooting.

It's just that the German Navy's "Bavaria-class" battleships, which have new sighting equipment and fire control systems, obviously have a lot of advantages in this regard.

"Boom!" A shell exploded on the sea surface on the right side of the battleship 'Ramilis', splashing a water column more than ten meters high. Although, the place where the shell exploded was more than a hundred meters away from the battleship 'Ramilis', it did not cause any damage to the battleship. However, the expressions of the more than 900 officers and soldiers of the Royal Navy on the battleship changed dramatically.

Because this shell represents that the battleship "Saxony" of the German Navy that was bombarding them has formed a straddle. This is also the life span, and the battleship 'Saxon' has already aimed at them. The reason why he didn't make a hit was just a little bit of luck. Next, as long as the "Saxon" battleship fires with concentrated fire, if the dense shells hit hard, it should be able to get a hit soon.

"****! How is this possible? The Germans shot in strides only ten minutes into the battle?" Lieutenant General David Betty was inexplicably horrified. Although, they have always believed that the quality of soldiers in the Royal Navy is definitely the best in the world. However, the Royal Navy has not been able to have such an excellent performance, let alone the Germans. In the eyes of Lieutenant General David Beatty and other proud generals of the Royal Navy, the German Navy was just an upstart, and there was no big deal at all.

Although Admiral John Jellicoe did not lose his composure like Lieutenant General David Beatty. However, his heart also cannot be calm. As the saying goes, a century-old navy means that it takes hundreds of years to build a powerful navy. However, it has been such a long time since the development of the German Navy to the present, and it has only been twenty years since the German Navy began to rise to the present. They were actually able to perform better than the Royal Navy on the battlefield. This is undoubtedly very shocking.

Of course, Admiral John Jellicoe knew it was all because of technology. The advancement of science and technology has made many things that require a lot of experience to do well become very simple. Therefore, the German Navy was able to challenge the British Navy in such a short period of time.

"Good job! Let the battleship 'Saxon' sink the British warship in the shortest possible time." Admiral Reinhard Scheer was very happy. There is nothing more pleasing to the eye than watching the German navy gradually gaining an absolute advantage in this naval battle.

The German naval officers and soldiers on the battleship "Saxony" are also excited at the moment. The captain, Colonel Konix Longhart, has given the order to focus fire. The three triple-mounted main guns started a volley with the maximum rate of fire. In each round of volley, nine shells weighing more than a ton slammed into the battleship 'Ramilis' fiercely.

A large number of shells exploded around the battleship 'Ramilis', splashing high water columns. This is undoubtedly a great blow to the fighting will of the British naval officers and soldiers on the battleship "Ramilis". After all, if they were hit, they would probably die. Fear of this kind of death will make people panic from the heart, and thus, it will also have a certain impact on the combat effectiveness of the battleship.

The battleship "Sachsen" took the lead in turning into a salvo, which also aroused the fighting spirit of other German naval warships. Gunners, do your best to form a straddle, and then move into salvo.

Although, the British Royal Navy also worked hard and wanted to fight back. However, God does not seem to be on their side, or their luck is slightly worse. There have been many rounds of test firing, and no straddle can be formed.

In less than five minutes, the battleship "Württemberg" of the German Navy also successfully straddled the battleship "Sovereign" of the British Navy, and switched to concentrated fire.

Immediately afterwards, other warships of the German Navy also formed straddle shots one after another, and then began to focus their fire. On the British Navy's side, only a very small number of battleships completed straddle shooting and began to switch to focused fire.

Judging from the current battlefield situation, there is no doubt that the British navy is in a state of being suppressed. This is only the reason why the 1st battle line of the German Navy fought them. When the second battle line comes from another direction and flanks them, that is when the Royal Navy is in real crisis.

"Damn it! Why can't we get hits for so long?" As time went on, the battle situation became more and more unfavorable to the Royal Navy, and Admiral John Jellicoe seemed to have lost his patience.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The battleship "Revenge" of the British Royal Navy conducted another round of test firing, and four 381mm shells slammed into the battleship "Bavaria", the flagship of the German Navy.

This time, God seemed to have heard the prayers of the British naval officers and soldiers. During this round of test firing, a shell flew over the battleship "Bavaria" and exploded on the sea surface on the left side of the battleship.

"Long live! We have straddled!" The officers and soldiers of the Royal Navy on the battleship 'Revenge' cheered.

Admiral John Jellicoe finally revealed a smile. Although the German Navy formed a straddle shot before them, they failed to score a hit after all. This means that the two sides are once again standing on the same starting line. As long as their luck is better in the next battle, it is not impossible to get the first hit.

However, Admiral John Jellicoe's delusion was quickly shattered.

At 12:54, the battleship "Sachsen" of the German Navy lived up to expectations and scored a hit in this round of salvo. This was also the first hit of a battleship of the German Navy in this naval battle.
