Chapter 1173: Hunting three

Chapter 1173

"Let the destroyer kill them, let's go!" Hipper first ordered the destroyer approaching to take a few photos of the first Queen-class battleship that was sunk, and then decisively issued the execution order. The two destroyers were like executions. 'S executioner generally approached this huge battleship that was once incomparable. The two torpedo boats V180 and S75 expressed that they were very happy to perform such a mission. After most of the British were transferred to lifeboats, two destroyers close to 400 meters away cleanly sent the warship into with 4 torpedoes. In the rolling waves of the North Sea.

When Hipper was killing him, Scheer was not slow. Bavaria took the lead, followed by Württemberg and Baden. What they caught was the Queen Elizabeth-class No. 6 ship. number. Under the pressure of the three Bavarian-class battleships, the Prestige also couldn't make any waves! What's more, these three battleships are almost the highest combat quality in the German Navy, regardless of equipment or personnel!

The one-sided battle will not last too long. After confirming that it shot a shell on the No. 3 turret in Bavaria and blasted a main artillery into two stages, the Fame has no other commendable record. Three Bavarian-class battleships crazily tilted bullets at a distance of 10 kilometers, and all their artillery was almost directly aimed at distant targets.

The battle of Prestige was so simple that no torpedo was used at all. After destroying almost all of the main guns of the Prestige, the Baden approached and fired at a distance of only 6000 meters from the opponent, and a 15-inch shell hit directly. The ammunition depot under the turret No. 3 of Prestige! With a loud noise, the prince finally achieved a new achievement-kill the Queen Elizabeth-class battleship in seconds!

This shell easily ripped the hardened armor belt up to 330mm thick, and then penetrated the dome armor plate with a thickness of 1 to 2 inches. Successfully plunged into the prestige’s ammunition depot, the gun shot diagonally through the propellant depot under the shell. With a loud noise, a fire dragon rushed directly from the bottom of the hull along the ammunition delivery channel! The turret weighing hundreds of tons seemed to be thrown out by a pair of big hands, and the power of the explosion quickly spread inside the hull. The entire battleship was trembling with the continuous sound of explosions.

Ten seconds later, accompanied by a series of metal breaking sounds, the second half of the hull began to fall off the battleship, and hot flames and gray-black smoke gushed from the breach. A thick plume of smoke rose into the air, and even if it was more than ten kilometers away, the scene of the Fame's struggle can be clearly seen. A huge amount of seawater poured in from the breach. Under the impact of the seawater and pulled by its own weight, the second half of the hull quickly fell off the battleship, and then the first half of the battleship was also caused by excessive water ingress. The rear part sank, and the bow like a long knife was picked up.

In the end, the Prestige did not allow the God of War waiting for the sacrifice to wait too long. Two minutes later, the latest British battleship weighing 28,000 tons sank to the bottom of the sea, and the huge vortex formed when the battleship sank The British naval officers and men who fell into the water with more than three digits were involved in the seabed. In the end, no more than 200 people survived on this British battleship!

As for the Baliem, which was the most injured at the beginning, also did not escape the fate of extinction. They were besieged by the three brothers Helgoland and the newly improved battleship Rheinland. When the four battleships appeared around the Ballem, the captain of the Ballem, Colonel Pete, knew the current affairs well.

"Our warship has lost more than half of its power, and the damage to the motor compartment has further expanded. A main turret is no longer usable. There will be no results in the battle." The colonel looked around his comrades around him and said. .

"If possible, I hope that more people can live until the end of this war, and unnecessary struggles are not needed. I will fulfill the obligations of a captain and at the same time fulfill my obligations to you." The colonel took a deep breath and made the last and most difficult decision of his life. "All personnel are going to abandon the ship. I will stay on this warship and accompany him to sleep on the sea."

"The British seem to be preparing to evacuate." On the battleship Helgoland, a German officer picked up the telescope in his hand and said. "what should we do?"

"Order the destroyer to go up to prepare the containment personnel, and then dispose of this battleship." Colonel von Ruitt, the captain of the battleship Helgoland, said for a while. Except for those auxiliary cruisers or submarines that perform the "strangulation" mission, the British and German navies are more graceful in their regular engagements. (The Germans believed that the British auxiliary cruisers were a slaughter of German civilians. The British believed that the unwarned direct attack by the German submarines was a crime. In any case, the navies of the two sides did not have much mercy on the ships and combat personnel performing the blockade mission. ) When the opponent is unable to resist and is preparing to sink the warship. Too much killing is unnecessary.

As a result, the Barrem battleship is the calmest of the three British battleships currently sunk. Four destroyers and a light cruiser approached to help gather the personnel transferred from the Barlem. The whole process was orderly and did not create too many barriers due to previous hostility.

After the last British navy soldier was transferred from the Barlem. After confirming that all the personnel who could breathe had left the sinking warship, Colonel Pete returned to his position. He stood on the broken bridge and signaled everyone to leave, and then said nothing. Fa waited for his doom to come~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Three German destroyers released 4 torpedoes 400 meters away from the target. Accompanied by a loud noise. This British warship that had participated in the naval battles in the Indian Ocean and participated in the siege of the battlecruiser Blücher sank to the bottom of the sea in a flame.

"So now it is certain that the British have run a Queen Elizabeth-class battleship, we have killed 3 ships, and 1 is in the process of pursuing?" The prince asked, looking at the new battle report.

"Yes, three battlecruisers under the command of Major General Lefetsov are pursuing this queen, but besides these queens, the British also have two battlecruisers. In addition to the one that appeared at the beginning, I don't know where I went at other times." Major General Scheer said.

"Let Hipper take the fastest fleet to immediately support the battlecruiser squadron. We are responsible for gathering and dispersing the enemy fleet to prepare to evacuate. Tell Hipper that I will give him at most one hour. Otherwise, no matter whether the hunt is successful or not, we All must retreat!" said the prince.
