Jagged Germany

Chapter 632: Sink with the ship (seeking monthly ticket)

?? The battleship 'Revenge' is accelerating and cannot escape. The speed of the battleship has been increased to 23 knots under the forced ventilation of the boiler. This is already the maximum speed that the current battleship 'Revenge' can run.

??It's a pity that the battleship "Bavaria" of the German Navy pursued it closely. Compared with the maximum speed of the battleship "Revenge" of 23 knots, the maximum speed of the "Bavaria-class" battleship can reach 24.5 knots. It is undoubtedly a miracle that such a huge battleship can reach this speed. Of course, this is mainly because the boilers and steam turbines equipped on the "Bavaria-class" battleships are the most advanced boilers and steam turbines in Germany. Otherwise, it would be impossible to reach such a fast speed anyway.

?? "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

??The battleship 'Bavaria' and the battleship 'Revenge' are bombarding each other. The heavy shell, under the action of huge kinetic energy, slammed into the opponent's battleship fiercely.

?? However, when the warship is sailing at high speed, the swing of the hull will be more intense, which will seriously affect the hit rate of the battleship.

?? "General, the battleship 'Governor of the Frontier' has caught up and requested to besiege the battleship 'Revenge' with us." The adjutant reported to Admiral Reinhard Scheer.

?? "Yes!" Admiral Reinhard Scheer nodded.

??The French and Italians escaped, leaving the British with only six ships to fight on. And the first battle line of the German Navy has 12 battleships, two against one, there is no doubt that there is no problem. Moreover, it may be very difficult for the battleships of the German Navy to catch up with the British battlecruiser "Tiger". Therefore, the German Navy will not do those thankless things. They directly gave up chasing the battlecruiser 'Tiger', and instead cooperated with other battleships to besiege the remaining British battleships.

?? After the battleship 'Border Governor' joined in, the battleship 'Revenge' immediately became dangerous. The two huge battleships are equipped with 380mm main guns with 50 times the caliber, which is enough to pose a fatal threat to the battleship 'Revenge'.

?? "Damn! Damn the Germans, don't you dare to fight us one-on-one? Relying on numerical superiority to besiege us, what kind of hero is this?" Admiral John Jellicoe's adjutant cursed angrily.

? ? But John? General Jellicoe said nothing. This is war, not a duel. In war, as long as the enemy can be killed, it is victory. If the enemy can be eliminated at the least cost, it is a complete victory. It was precisely this kind of victory that the German Navy was after. Therefore, they will naturally not be so stupid as to engage in a one-on-one duel with the British Navy, which is something only fools can do.

?? "Boom!"

??A 381mm artillery shell fired by the battleship 'Revenge' hit the battleship 'Bavaria'. The shell directly hit the bow of the battleship "Bavaria", blowing a big hole.

??However, for the huge battleship, this is not a serious injury at all.

?? "Long live!"

??The British naval officers and soldiers on the battleship 'Revenge' cheered. When they couldn't escape, they took sinking the enemy's warship as their goal. Therefore, hitting the battleship 'Bavaria' made them so ecstatic. Not to mention that this is the flagship of the German Navy. However, it is a pity that it did not cause much damage to the battleship "Bavaria".

??The battleship "Bavaria" immediately responded with color. A 380mm artillery shell hit the stern of the battleship 'Revenge'. After the weak deck armor was torn apart, the shells exploded inside the battleship, causing a raging fire, further causing trauma to the battleship.

?? Immediately afterwards, the battleship 'Border Governor' also hit the battleship 'Revenge'. A 380mm artillery shell hit the No. 3 turret of the battleship "Revenge" on the stern deck. The turret armor is only 330 mm, and it cannot withstand this powerful armor-piercing shell. The shell tore through the armor of the No. 3 turret of the battleship 'Revenge' and exploded inside the turret.

??The violent explosion instantly killed the gunners in the turret, blasting them to pieces. At the same time, the No. 3 main turret was also overturned and hit the No. 4 main turret, causing the No. 4 main turret to lose its ability to rotate.

?? The gun from the battleship 'Governor of the Frontier' immediately caused the battleship 'Revenge' to lose half of its firepower, and only the two main turrets on the front deck could continue to fire.

?? "Good job!" Admiral Reinhard Scheer exclaimed.

??After losing half of its firepower, the threat of the battleship 'Revenge' to them has been greatly reduced.

?? "Send a telegram to the battleship 'Governor of the Frontier'. We will shorten the engagement distance from 15,000 meters to 8,000 meters. Get rid of the British flagship as soon as possible." Admiral Reinhard Scheer ordered.

??After the combat distance is shortened, this will significantly increase the hit rate. This is more effective for the German Navy. After all, they were besieging a heavily damaged British battleship with two battleships.

?? When the battleship 'Revenge' lost half of its firepower, Admiral John Jellicoe couldn't help but sigh. He knew that the end of the battleship 'Revenge' was coming soon, and the Germans would never let this good opportunity pass.

?? Sure enough, the two battleships of the German Navy began to close the battle distance. This means that they want to quickly get rid of the battleship 'Revenge'.

??As the distance continued to narrow, the hit rates of the German Navy's "Bavaria" battleship and "Border Governor" battleship began to increase.

?? Constant shells hit the battleship 'Revenge', making her wounds worse.

??When the combat distance was shortened from 15,000 meters to 8,000 meters, the battleship 'Revenge' had already suffered no fewer than ten 380mm shells. Although the battleship "Revenge" has a displacement of more than 30,000 tons, it can't hold it anymore.

?? Under such circumstances, Admiral John Jellicoe gave the order to abandon the ship.

?? The officers and soldiers on the battleship frantically competed for the lifeboat, trying to escape from the sinking battleship 'Revenge'.

?? Admiral John Jellicoe returned to his cabin and locked the door behind him. No matter how the adjutant knocked on the door, he was unwilling to go out.

??When the battleship 'Revenge' sank to the bottom of the sea, Admiral John Jellicoe, accompanied by the battleship, sank into the icy Atlantic Ocean.
