Chapter 874: Continue to collapse

Let's turn our perspective back to the main battlefield. The Moore fleet and the Jericho fleet have merged! The two fleets are reorganized into a new battle line under the cover of destroyers! However, there is no use for eggs... 1 queen, lion tiger, and two first-generation battlecruisers. Are you fighting 6 Bavarian-class fast battleships and 1 Helgeland-class battleship? What do you think? !

"Today, God seems to be on their side?" The prince said with some dissatisfaction as he looked at the battlecruiser Lion, which had been burned into a torch in the distance.

"What do you mean by this?" Scheer said in a puzzled manner. Now he is also very relaxed, basically there is no need to give any orders, it depends on the performance of the gunners. As long as there is enough time, Scheer believes that the German fleet can send opponents to the bottom of the sea.

"We've hit at least a dozen shells on the opposite side? Why doesn't this lion explode?" The prince said something that Scheer seemed to be very chatty about... In fact, unless one shot directly into the ammunition depot, it would be very strenuous to kill the opponent in seconds, or in other words, if the British war patrol before Jutland to fire, then it is actually not that fragile. And want to directly penetrate the ammunition storehouse, and in the case that the opponent has no time to fill the opponent, this is actually very character. Some who exploded after being stabbed through the ammunition, such as Hood. There are also those who did not die immediately after the ammunition depot caught fire.

The prince flipped his head over the memory of the historical Jutland naval battle. In the avant-garde battle, Betty’s two battle cruisers were sunk very simply. Ten minutes after the battle, the Tireless was sunk. Twenty Queen Mary died in minutes. The Invincible split the fire at 6:26 in the evening, and at 6:31, Lützoff and Cedric teamed up for seconds! It's not too much to say that seeing the light die!

And what about yourself? It has been more than 20 minutes since the Bavaria took over against the Lion! The number of shells hit exceeded 2 digits! The other party hasn't been killed yet? ! This unscientific! The prince lamented God's injustice! Does God really favor Hipper? !

And just as the prince estimated when the Lion would detonate the ammunition, the famous Lion, Betty's flagship, and the pride of the British battlecruiser, had reached the last moment! Although it was not killed by spike for some reason, under the continuous 15-inch shells attack, this battleship was more like floating ruins at this time!

"General, the battleship has lost all its firepower. The fundamental reason why we can float on the sea is that all the ammunition depots have been filled with water. The battleship has been flooded with more than 4,000 tons of water, and the main armor belt has been hit with 3 cracks. , The left lean reached 24 degrees, and the speed dropped further, it is impossible for the Lion to go back." The captain of the Lion asked Betty to change to a flagship.

At this time, the left string of the battleship was less than 2 meters above the surface of the water. The huge hull was constantly trembling, and waves of metal distortion and fracture sounded from all around. The structure of the battleship had been severely damaged, even if the Germans No more attacks, the structure of this battleship can no longer bear its own weight, which is like an elephant with its bones broken. Its weight can cause fatal damage to important organs, and at this time the battleship Lion When the main gun was destroyed and proved unable to be repaired, in order to prevent the out-of-control fire from affecting the ammunition depot, the unclosed main gun ammunition depot was filled with water first, and then the side side secondary gun’s ammunition depot. This series of measures made Betty’s Lion survive until now at the cost of 3,000 tons of water, but it was impossible to continue.

When Betty and her entourage were transferred to the Warrior on the destroyer, the existence of the Lion can only be calculated in minutes and seconds. This ship with a displacement of 26,000 tons was placed on the British battlecruiser and his sisters. The altar of the God of War, the battleship has left the battlefield. The 200-meter-long hull has one-third of the length submerged under the sea from time to time. Driven by the remaining power, the battleship stepped out of the sea. The tortuous route, the sound of vibrations and fractures from the huge hull from time to time, the captain has given orders to abandon the ship, and even the Bavaria has focused its firepower on other warships.

At this time, the situation of the other British warships was also very bad. Except for the Warrior who could barely resist the Saxon he caught, the Tiger, New Zealand and Australia were already exhausted, and they had even given up and continued to confront them. Fire, relying on the remaining smoke of the destroyer and the tortuous route to avoid the enemy’s shelling,

"The results of the two new Bavarian-class battleships in service are very poor. They have a very low hit rate against the British battleships taking evasive routes." Scheer put down the telescope in his hand and said. The two battleships of Hessen and Mecklenburg have just been in service for less than 2 months. The officers and soldiers above are only familiar with the operation of the two battleships, and the hit rate on the battle line is only 40% of the predecessors such as Bavaria and Saxony. In the face of the high-speed evasion of battlecruisers, the hit rate is even lower~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and this is the fundamental reason why the two battlecruisers of the Moore Fleet ranked last can survive to the present. ......

The current British fleet is like a desperate antelope. They tried their best to dodge and evade, trying to increase the difficulty of the opponent's hit through continuous turning. This cannot be said to be useless, but it will make them difficult. The speed is further reduced, and if they are only beaten and unable to fight back, then their decline is only a matter of time!

The most powerful battleship warrior was already a little unsustainable. Another 15-inch shell landed on the warrior’s deck. After easily piercing the horizontal armor of the upper deck and dome, this shell would have two The roaring generator exploded to pieces. The explosion not only caused the warship to lose half of its electricity, but also ignited a large amount of diesel fuel. The flame ignited the diesel vapor in the air. In an instant, bursts of violent explosions came from the motor compartment, instantly igniting surrounding Several cabins became flame hell.

"The temperature in the ammunition bay is too high. If this continues, it may cause spontaneous combustion of the ammunition!" An officer in the ammunition bay of the No. 3 turret roared looking at the rising thermometer.

"I demand that the ammunition compartment be filled with water immediately!" The officer shouted through the internal microphone. At this time, the crackling burning sound has been faintly heard, and the explosion of the armor of the ammunition compartment and the sound of fragments hitting the steel plate are even more terrifying. It seems that the monsters outside may break the wall at any time!
