Jagged Germany

Chapter 239: The arrival of reinforcements (1300 votes plus updates)

?? "General, the Centurion has sunk, what should we do now?"

?? Everyone looked at Major General Carol, waiting for his decision. Two battleships were sunk in succession, making the British Navy now in an absolute desperate situation. The six battlecruisers of the German Navy were also hit. However, they were all minor injuries, which did not have much impact on their combat effectiveness.

?? This also made the gap between the two sides on the battlefield further widened. The two British battleships will face the siege of six German battlecruisers. It can be seen from the previous battles how powerful the battlecruisers of the German Navy are. Therefore, it is obvious what kind of result this will have.

?? "Send a telegram to General Betty, telling him that we are about to fail. If we can't arrive at the battlefield within half an hour, I'm afraid we will have to collect the corpse." Major General Carroll ordered.

??Originally, David Betty hoped that Major General Carroll would be able to last at least two hours. In this case, he can deploy calmly. But how did they know that the four "King George V-class" battleships could not hold on so quickly under the siege of six battlecruisers of the German Navy.

?? "Yes, General." The communications officer immediately went to send a telegram. They all hope that the reinforcements can arrive as soon as possible. Otherwise, they might follow in the footsteps of the battleships "Centurion" and "Bold" and go to the bottom of the Atlantic to feed the fish.

?? On the other side, the German Navy has already begun to celebrate victory.

?? Lieutenant General Hipper, regardless of the danger of the battlefield, went directly to the battlecruiser "Moltke" in a transportation boat, and discussed the next battle with Lieutenant General Spee.

?? "Redistribute the strike targets. Try to kill the remaining two British battleships in the shortest possible time." Lieutenant General Hipper said excitedly.

?? Lieutenant General Spei nodded. He was already very satisfied with being able to achieve such a great result in this battle. However, any general of the navy would probably not refuse such a good opportunity to expand the results of the battle.

"British reinforcements must be on their way. Maybe they will arrive soon. If they can sink the remaining two British battleships before their reinforcements arrive , Even if we have to retreat when the time comes, we will make money this time." Lieutenant General Spei said.

?? If all four "King George V-class" battleships of the British Navy can be sunk in one fell swoop in this battle, this is already a major victory. After all, if the decisive sea battle between the two sides has not yet begun, if the German navy can score zero to five, this will definitely be a serious blow to the British navy. In future naval battles, the possibility of the German navy winning will also be greater.

?? "May God bless the German Empire!" Lieutenant General Hipper said.

??The German Navy redistributed the strike targets. Three "Moltke-class" battlecruisers besieged the British Navy's "King George V" battleship. Three "Blücher-class" battlecruisers besieged the "Ajax" battleship.

?? "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

??The violent shelling continued, shells continued to drop from the sky, and water jets splashed around the battleships 'King George V' and 'Ajax'. These two huge battleships, like being in a storm, may capsize at any time.

??Beyond the battlefield, three battlecruiser detachments and one battleship detachment of the British Navy are rushing to the battlefield. All three battlecruiser squadrons have increased their speed to 25 knots. Even the four "Iron Duke" battleships increased their speed to 20 knots.

?? On the battlecruiser 'Tiger', Lieutenant General David Beatty had a serious expression on his face.

??The German Navy's breaking fleet took the bait, which did not surprise him. He knew that those German naval destroyers cruising in the Atlantic Ocean were like hungry wolves on the prairie. When they saw Fat Girl's prey, they would definitely pounce on them.

??However, the current battle situation seems to be somewhat unfavorable for the British Navy. The four "King George V-class" battleships led by Major General Carroll have been suppressed, even at a disadvantage. This made David Betty very anxious, for fear that the tragedy of the sinking of the battlecruiser 'Lion' last time would happen again. Although, the defense of the "King George V-class" battleship is much stronger than that of the "Lion-class" battlecruiser. But Lieutenant General David Betty still had no confidence in his heart.

?? "General, an urgent telegram from General Carroll." A staff officer sent a telegram to Lieutenant General David Betty with a look of panic.

?? After Lieutenant General David Betty read the telegram, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He never expected that in such a short period of time, two battleships were sunk. This is undoubtedly a serious blow to the British Navy. No wonder Major General Carroll urgently asked for help. Under such circumstances, he would also be unable to hold on.

"Order the battlecruiser squadrons to speed up. They must arrive at the battlefield within half an hour. Let the first battlecruiser squadrons also speed up. Our enemy is stronger than we imagined." David Betty The lieutenant general ordered.

?? "Yes, General." The communications officer immediately issued Lieutenant General David Betty's order.

??The nine battlecruisers increased their speed again, raising their speed to over 26 knots. If it weren't for the fear of causing irreparable damage to the boiler of the battleship, they would continue to pressurize the ventilation to further increase the speed of the battleship.

??The four "Iron Duke" battleships are also starting to speed up. It's just that, as a first-class standard battleship, its maximum speed is only 21.25 knots. Being able to maintain a speed of 21 knots is already commendable.

??But now it is extremely urgent. If they cannot arrive in time, the remaining two "King George V-class" battleships may also be sunk. Therefore, Lieutenant General David Beatty had no choice but to order to go at full speed.

??On the battlefield, the six battlecruisers of the German Navy are still relying on their absolute superiority in numbers to besiege the remaining two battleships of the British Navy. The battleships "King George V" and "Ajax" have been hit many times. However, none of them were hit.

?? "Report! The seaplane found the British warships. They came from the south, east and west respectively, and there were nine battlecruisers."
