The damage caused by this underwater bomb was relatively limited. Although it penetrated the outer hull plate and the outer two-layer armored compartment, the final explosion was buffered by the third layer of oil tank, and finally was the last one. That layer of lightning protection armor with a thickness of 80mm blocked it. About 400 tons of seawater poured into the hull. Under the huge water pressure, some of the steel plates were slightly deformed, but overall, the five-layer defense system and the inclined underwater armor at the rear are still reliable. By the way, because of this gun, the Bavaria lost about 300 tons of fuel. No way, the tank was mixed with sea water and couldn't be burned...
"The situation is not so good. I suggest that the fleet retreat immediately." Major General Moore also saw the German fleet lined up in the distance. The pressure brought by the seven towering battleships was still great, especially Major General Moore. After learning that two battlecruisers had sunk in less than 20 minutes, Major General Moore believed that even if his three battleships joined, the situation would not be fundamentally changed.
The Warrior directly confronted the first battleship Saxony, and then the two battlecruisers aimed their muzzles at the Bavaria. Although the opponent that killed off halfway caught Scheer by surprise, the German fleet had an absolute advantage. The British’s shells are indeed less powerful. Except for this water bomb, the damage caused by the remaining attacks is not large. Up to now, the casualties on the Bavaria have not exceeded double digits... ... Including a hapless guy who accidentally slipped and knocked himself out--!
The situation of the British seems to be better than before. In any case, the Warrior is always more resistant and able to fight than the Battle Cruiser. As for the two battlecruisers of New Zealand and Australia, they are always better than a Super Intrepid Battlecruiser. And this time, another light cruiser formation and some destroyers accompanied the arrival of the Moore fleet, which means that the British cannon fodder resources have been replenished, and they can make another wave.
"The other British fleet is coming soon. It can take up to ten minutes. The size should be a squadron. It feels like it should be a battleship formation. Hood’s battlecruisers are expected to follow Jericho. They no longer have it. More fast battleships," Scheer said.
"Ten minutes, who will come?" The prince touched his chin and said, and the prince was also quickly thinking about it. If it is a Vengeance-class battleship, the problem will be bigger. These are with the letter R. Although the guy at the beginning is not fast, but in the 1st battle, the fighting power is higher than that of the queen. Because there are not so many boilers, the height of the armor belt of the Vengeance-class battleship is more satisfying. Although the power of the 15-inch guns equipped by Germany on this plane has increased, it is estimated to be comparable to the green hats equipped by the British after the 1st World War. It is not a big problem to penetrate 350MM armor at a distance of 15 kilometers, but the angle is considered in actual naval battles. In the case of problems, the 13-inch armor belt for revenge is still somewhat difficult.
The prince has paid attention to the Vengeance-class battleship. There should be about 3 battleships completed, but it is difficult to say whether it will be in service or whether it will be given to Betty.
"Look at the situation first, don't worry." If the third British fleet appears and finds revenge, the prince should consider retreating. It's not that you can't beat them, but you can't beat their boss... It is a kind of excitement and a kind of enjoyment to run quickly after pretending to be done, but if you are entangled, it is really worthless. Look at the watch on the wall, it's almost 12 o'clock, it's time to eat... No, there are about 2 hours left, so I will be ready to flash people after the meeting...
When the British light cruisers and destroyers rushed to the battlefield once again launched onboard, Betty used the last time to re-adjust the formation. Naturally, the battleship in the front is the Battleship Warrior, the second position is the Tiger, and the third position is Betty. The flagship Lion. Behind is General Moore's New Zealand and Australia. At this time, the British still did not dare to fight. They adjusted their course again, turned 7 compass points to the left and sailed northwest. And that is the direction of the third British fleet.
Boom! In the distance, a British light cruiser that was walking on a zigzag course to evade suddenly heard a loud noise. Suddenly a horrible flash appeared in the middle of the hull. Then the warship began to slow down, drawing circles on the sea until several German destroyers. Rushing up, after a salvo of torpedoes, the cruiser sank to the bottom of the sea again. Because of the angle, only five German battleships had a good range of fire, while the latter two once again shifted their firepower to Britain. People on the light cruiser.
"Damn it, our ship looks a little ill today." On this plane, Betty said again the most famous sentence in his later generations.... However, the mood at this time is not as calm as in the battle of Jutland in history.
"The opposite is definitely not Hipper, his fleet can't be that strong. We met the main German fleet." Betty muttered to herself staring at the German fleet that was spitting flames in the distance.
"It should be the most elite Bavarian-class battleship of the Germans, all have come out." An officer sent the telegram he had just received to Betty.
"Also the destroyer approaching also found the flag of the Kingdom of Bavaria under the banner of the German navy. It is not the shogi of any German fleet commander that we are familiar with." The officer said the last sentence. Betty shivered involuntarily!
"The Kingdom of Bavaria actually has an admiral? This person has a very high status." Betty's brain began to turn quickly. Although Germany is an empire, the royal family and aristocracy can not obtain high positions simply by blood. For example, Prince Heinrich, the younger brother of Wilhelm II, can only take a few former dreadnought ships in the Baltic Sea, although he is respected. , The people who can really manage things are still capable people like Scheer and Hipper. In history, the prince became the commander of the Bavarian Legion because of his ability.
"The German navy has actually changed generals? And we haven't received any information before?! The other party's style and behavior are different from all the previous generals! He is more cunning and difficult than Hipper, and from From the point of view of his authority, this guy's status is estimated to be the same as Admiral von Boll, right?" Betty thought randomly in her heart.
This can't be said to be Betty's distraction. In fact, judging the opponent's tactical intentions or combat style based on the commander's character and past resume is a very important task. In fact, the reason why the prince can successfully get Betty is largely because he has a better understanding of Betty in history. And now, Betty is also trying to think about countermeasures by analyzing the identity of the opponent.
