Chapter 868: The first blood!

On the battlefield in minutes, the distance between the two British fleets is closer. When the British used the last set of smoking cans, the distance between the two British fleets has been reduced to about 4 kilometers. . The only problem is that the marshalling has not been completed yet. At this time, the muzzle of the German fleet had once again locked Betty's fleet.

It cannot be said that Betty's struggle and the blood of the British auxiliary fleet are useless. The actual damage to the British fleet is actually the destroyed left side cabin of the Queen Mary. But this is enough for the German fleet, because the distance between the two sides is close to 14 kilometers! The British have overdrawn their auxiliary fleet ahead of time. If they have overdrawn, they can hide their smoking cans, and all that is left is a frontal confrontation!

Thank God, the weather is clear, and the sun at noon is like a balance, no longer inclined to anyone! In short, today is a day suitable for a decisive battle, at least the prince thinks so!

Now, the entire German fleet has the best shooting range! The firepower of the entire fleet was quickly distributed. The Saxony pointed its muzzle at Betty’s flagship Lion, the Bavaria aimed at the injured Queen Mary, and the remaining five warships allocated firepower to the other two battlecruisers. on.

"When the battleship at the head of the team started firing on the reinforcements of the British fleet, the other battleships reassigned their targets in turn. We must ensure that every British warship is taken care of!" After allocating the targets, Scheer emphasized again in the telegram. . This is also the result that the prince specifically emphasized, because the cost of missing the target is a bit high.

For example, in the Battle of Jutland, De Fringe, who was particularly killed in the Battle of Jutland, was able to kill Queen Mary in seconds because no one cares about it... Also in the Battle of Jutland, the fatal wound of the Lützoff was also hit by the Invincible, which the Germans did not notice at first. Two shells hit the front of the bow, causing the torpedo bay to explode and finally flooding. Too much, I can't go back... Of course, when the German fleet renewed its attention, the Invincible died quite simply. It's a pity that Major General Hood, this buddy is also a fierce man, just hang up like that...

And when there was no interference, the German fleet broke out with shocking combat power, and even the prince did not expect that the first result would appear so soon! The two battleships Württemberg and Baden at the rear were aimed at the guns of the battlecruiser Grand Princess. Within one minute after Scheer gave the order, the two warships alternately shot four and a half volleys, and successively caught the target! In order to better distinguish the water column, the two battleships filled the shells with dyes of different colors. After the shells enter the water, the dye will quickly stain the water column, which is convenient for the fleet to observe.

"The deafening sound of guns came from all around like a tsunami. When you look outside, you can clearly see the orange and red fireballs covering half of the sky. Our battleship is waving its own like an ancient giant. The flame sword kept severing at the opponent. After each shot of the artillery, the flame and soot had not dissipated, and the huge artillery was reset and reloaded. The entire fleet was gradually covered by the smoke from the fire from the own artillery, and some At that time, we even had to reduce the rate of fire.” The captain of the Saxon, Colonel Beckmann, wrote in his combat diary.

"We were hit!" Suddenly, the entire ship of the Grand Princess was shaking. The sideboard of this battlecruiser seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer. A 15-inch armor-piercing round was easily torn apart like a hot knife cutting butter. After the 9-inch armor belt of the Grand Princess, the entire projectile squeezed into the gap in the armor plate, and the huge impact even brought out a crack several meters long. The 9-inch main armor only destroyed the quilt of the shell. The nearly intact shell smashed the dome armor, and then the next door. Then, with a dazzling flash of light, the four motors in the Grand Princess’ motor compartment were instantly scrapped. 3 sets!

The turbulent flames and thick smoke instantly filled most of the cabin, and then spread to the surroundings along the pipes and tunnels. In a very short period of time, more than a dozen cabins around turned into a sea of ​​fire, and the power of the entire warship was instantly lost. Mostly. And this was just the beginning. After a few seconds, another shell once again hit the poor British battlecruiser. This shell directly blasted the rudder room at the stern of the ship to pieces, and the Queen Mary, which could not be operated effectively, soon ushered in its end!

"Kill him! We will be the first to sink the super fearless warship!" The high pillar of fire rising from the hull of Queen Mary in the distance made Colonel Beckman excited and attacked the princess with him. The battleship Baden did not show any weakness! Only half a minute later, a half salvo of the Baden successfully covered the second half of Queen Mary's hull again!

"Three shots in a row! This is simply a miracle!" Within two or three seconds, three violent explosions were heard from the back of the Grand Princess ~www.wuxiaspot.com~Even in the daytime, the shells were exploded. The dazzling flash still makes people feel trembling.

"In an instant, almost the entire hull of this British ship was covered by strong light, and then there was a series of explosions, extending from the No. 4 turret! It seemed like fireworks were set off on the deck of the battleship. Every violent explosion caused This battleship trembled deeply. Even if we don't know what happened, we also know that the queen's deadline has arrived." A British soldier on a destroyer accompanied by the princess recalled the situation.

The fire on the battleship has been out of control. Each explosion throws a large amount of debris into the air tens of meters high. The battleship is like an erupting volcano, with huge fireballs filling up from the deck. The violent blast even broke the armor plate from the inside, and a bolt that fixed the steel plate even bounced onto the deck of a light cruiser next to it! Queen Mary’s stern quickly sank into the water, while the bow lifted slightly. The sea water flooded up along the stern, the engine room had completely lost contact, and the boiler room was mostly flooded. The Queen Mary also gave up the struggle and hung up the signal to abandon the ship.

"The princess is over." Betty muttered to herself and lit a cigar with trembling. He needs to be quiet now. However, the Germans did not seem to understand the "difficulties" of the lieutenant admiral. Just as the Grand Princess was completely out of the battle line, and a group of British destroyers and light cruisers began to transfer people on it, the Queen Mary, who was following Betty, suddenly broke out with a loud noise!
