Chapter 2245: Hipper's Noth

However, perhaps God thought that Hipper did not endure enough disasters in this battle. When the Hipper fleet bit the Duff fleet, two huge figures appeared on the side and rear of the Hipper fleet. Unfortunately, the Saint Vincent. The battleship and the battleship Avant-garde have completed their rest. Although the speed is still not high enough to catch up with the Duff fleet in a short time, they can already pose a threat to the Hipper fleet. From the perspective of the situation, the situation is like this. In the front is the Duff fleet, behind is the Hipper fleet, and behind the Hipper fleet are two British dreadnoughts. Hipper was just flanked.

　　 "Let Helgoland and Oldenburg deal with the British dreadnoughts behind them. Damn, if they were in better condition, those guys would have sunk to the bottom of the sea a long time ago," Hipper ordered with an iron face. And soon, something even more troublesome to Hipper happened. Just now, the intelligence sent by the seaplane showed that the four British super-dreadnoughts under the command of Duff had broken away from the dreadnoughts and began to quickly move closer to the Thomas fleet. The British fleet, which had obtained two warships, finally had enough troops to contain the opponent while letting Duff to support the main fleet.

　　 Yes, when Duff gave this order, the four dreadnoughts had actually been abandoned. Even if the Hipper fleet is in a bad state, it cannot be blocked by the 4 broken and fearless ships, but what does it matter? The 4 most powerful remaining forces in the fleet can be put back into battle and this is for the frontline battle. Has an extremely significant impact

As for whether you can abandon these dreadnought ships to intercept Lieutenant General Duff’s super fearless, let alone whether he can successfully get rid of the enemies before and after, even if Hipper really stopped the Duff fleet through a series of maneuvers, how can Duff be done? Leave 3 super fearless to hold Hipper, and let the remaining 5 warships to support the main battlefield

　　 Therefore, in Hipper’s view, the current situation is close to a dead end, and it seems that no matter how he operates, he cannot stop the 8 British warships.

"I never thought that when we have the advantage, I will encounter such a difficult problem. It seems that my future king will also have a miscalculation." Looking at the Duff fleet that has begun to leave in the distance. , Hipper couldn't help smiling bitterly. Originally, Hipper believed that when the battle started, facing the Thomas Fleet was the worst situation, so Ruprecht arranged for him many life-saving things, such as new camouflage and armor as cannon fodder. Cruiser detachment, destroyer and smoke. Although the final result suffered heavy losses, Hipper finally persisted. The most important thing is that he also completed the task.

However, what I did not expect is that after passing through the most dangerous stage of the plan, Hipper can still encounter such a tricky thing. The British fleet that needs to be intercepted is twice as much as its own. This is no longer the performance and tactics of a warship. Smoothed out

　　 "Order, Goben and the flagship will leave the formation to intercept Duff's fearlessness, and two Helgoland-class battleships will drag the British fearlessness," Hipper said firmly.

　　 "General, our result is likely to be defeated by both sides," an officer said in shock.

　　 "Our life and death are not important. The important thing is that we cannot let them meet Thomas. Our task is to delay and sacrifice. This is our mission, duty and glory," Hipper said.

After sending orders to the two Helgoland-class battleships behind through the semaphore, the two remaining German battlecruisers began to accelerate a large amount of coal being sent into the boiler, and the temperature in the boiler began to rise. When the critical value was reached , The fuel injector on the top of the boiler started to spray heavy oil. The heavy oil was vaporized and ignited a large amount of softened water into high temperature and high pressure water vapor during the falling process, which was then sent to the steam turbine, produced in Bremen The steam engine started to drive the propellers frantically.

　　 The two German battlecruisers of 24 knots, 25 knots, and 26 knots rushed toward their opponents at a speed of at least 6 knots faster than the Duff Fleet’s Super Intrepid. And aimed the gun at the rear of the British fleet, the King George V

"Boom" again, the sound of the explosion from the tail of the team aroused the vigilance of Lieutenant General Duff. He looked angrily at the ghost-like guy behind him. The moment he turned his head, he saw the hull of the King George V. A dazzling fire broke out from above, needless to say, this battleship was hit again

The shells fired alternately by the two German battlecruisers successfully covered the British super fearless at the tail of the line. Even though both sides were fast, the Goben still straddled in the seventh round of the salvo, and The ninth round salvo hits first, and then ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ hit the poor ship again in the eleventh round salvo of Cedric

Due to the location, the two 350 shells hit the stern of the King George V. One of the shells successfully penetrated the stern armor belt and damaged the ship’s drive shaft. It was disturbing. After the metal broke and vibrated, the British had to shut down the power system of this drive shaft.

The other shell was even more deadly. This shell entered the water at a distance of 20 meters from the British battleship, and after traveling 25 meters in the water like a torpedo, it successfully tore off the armor of the bottom of the hull of the King George V, and then one end. It crashed into a place less than 5 meters away from the rear of the No. 4 turret. Accompanied by a loud noise, the entire rear of the hull seemed to jump. It spread to the ammunition depot a little bit. In desperation, the British had no choice but to add another ton of water to the warship to ensure temporary safety.

The water injection in the ammunition storage just gave King George V no immediate worries, but the shell that exploded almost close to the bottom of the ship also caused other damage to the British super fearless. The side of the hull was torn apart near the bottom of the ship. After a mouth of 6 square meters, thousands of tons of seawater poured into the hull under pressure. The stern of the King George V, which did not use a fine compartment design, began to sink quickly, regardless of whether the British used a pump. , Blocking, or other methods can not block the position so low and huge scars, the hull gradually sinking, and the bow gradually tilted, even in the rangefinder can clearly observe the serious occurrence of this warship Tail tilt
