1123 Blucher's Final Battle 3

Two 12-inch shells hit the poor light cruiser almost at the same time. One shell blew the chimney behind Lin Xian and half of the bridge to pieces. Another shell directly penetrated a pair of sterns of Lin Xian. The shell weighing more than 40 kilograms directly blew the servo cabin at the tail into pieces, and left a large hole of more than ten square meters at the waterline!&1t;/p>

Then this guy was like a hyena whose backbone was removed, and could only roam on the sea. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Wiesbaden light cruiser rushed up and fired 3 torpedoes at the uncontrollable Lin Xian at a distance of 3 ooo meters! A few minutes later, accompanied by a loud bang, the British light cruiser seemed to be lifted from the sea by a pair of big hands, and then broke into two parts in the middle under a violent explosion! The broken hull fell heavily into the water. After half a minute, except for some remaining debris, there was no trace of Lin Xian on the sea.&1t;/p>

Another British light cruiser was very quick to react. He decisively pulled out smoke when the Blüchel attacked Lin Xian and quickly stayed away under the cover of two destroyers. Although a 6-inch gun was scrapped by the Wiesbaden before leaving, he was generally safely evacuated.&1t;/p>

"Hold the grass!" Thomas' mood can be described as a Japanese dog. The battle situation that he originally thought should be crushed for so long, but in the end the German bit the other hand. Although a light cruiser is nothing, Thomas can't afford to lose this person! Now, Thomas even has the intention to slice the Blüchelle! Thomas thinks this is an insult to his tactics by the Germans - just paying attention to the main ship, throwing the escort warship aside...&1t;/p>

Two Queen-class battleships came back with many followers! This time, Thomas did not give the other party any chance! In fact, after a series of battles, the cigarette cans on the two German warships had been exhausted and it was impossible to provide cover. The other two Queen-class fast battleships had arrived at the scene.&1t;/p>

"We are about to usher in the last moment. Our destiny is destined, but sacrifice is not worthless. One day, the high seas fleet will break out of the shackles set by the British!" Captain Hullhouse said in the last moment of the Blüchelle.&1t;/p>

The two sides re-entered the battle line battle stage. The artillery of the two Queen-class battleships was fierce and accurate. Although relying on heavy armor, this German battle cruiser blocked the opponent's attacks again and again, it could not change the final result in the end.&1t;/p>

The armor belt at the stern of the battleship was pierced many times. The Blüchel, which had already inlet water for thousands of tons, poured in at least 2ooo tons of sea water. Nearly 4ooo tons of sea water made half of the ship's side of the warship close to the sea surface, and the dry string was at least 1 meter!&1t;/p>

But even so, before the last turret was destroyed, the Blüchel still stubbornly fired one shell after another at the British battleship in the distance. Although these 12-inch shells were insufficient, they still destroyed the No. 3 turret of the Malaya. They left several bullet holes on the ship.&1t;/p>

Of course, the most effective hit was the shell that hit the Queen Elizabeth command tower. Although the shell failed to penetrate the heavy armor, the violent impact broke the back plate behind the armor, and countless fragments shot at the British naval officers and soldiers in the cabin. Two British officers were killed, with more than a dozen injured, and Thomas was not spared. A piece of fragment almost penetrated Thomas' lungs into his body. Because of this shrapnel, the command of Thomas' fleet was temporarily in chaos.&1t;/p>

"Kill the Blüchelle! Report to Major General Moore and tell him everything here. After we resolve the trouble here, give command to Moore!" Thomas said before he was in a coma.&1t;/p>

When Warwaa and Barrym arrived, the battle had come to an end. When the last artillery was destroyed, Blüchel raised the abandoned flag. One side of the hull almost turned over, and the hull covered with barnacles and other attachments was exposed to the sun. The earliest battlecruiser of the German Navy began to capsize, with scars all over the body, flames and rolling smoke gradually sank into the sea.&1t;/p>

After Colonel Hulhouse confirmed that everyone had moved, he sat quietly in his position. After refusing the help of the British, he looked at the southeast direction without saying a word. "The war has come to an end, and no captain of the German main battleship has been sent to the altar of the God of War, so let me be the first one." A few minutes later, the ship of Blüchel suddenly sank down, and then the entire hull quickly landed into the depths of the seabed. The waves splashed when they sink were dozens of meters high, and the huge vortex formed when they sink into the sea water almost sucked the two lifeboats next to it into the seabed! Half an hour before the Blüchel sinking, the Wiesbaden light cruiser was also sent to the bottom of the sea by a torpedo.&1t;/p>

"They are real warriors. Even when they were in the most difficult and doomed to fail, they persisted until the end. They fought to the last moment. Even as enemies, we must respect and admire such generals." A British naval officer wrote in his diary after the war. The sinking of the two warships led to the death of more than 9oo people, and there were about 48o people who were captured. They were the survivors after abandoning the ship at the last moment. Many people believed that the war had ended, but in fact, another war was being carried out at least 2o kilometers away from here!&1t;/p>

At this time, Major General Gunter, who commanded the two Queen Elizabeth-class battleships, the Warrior and the Reputation, began to search for the Moltke battle cruiser according to Thomas' order. Fortunately, a V15oo long-range patrol aircraft discovered the German battle cruiser. But unfortunately, the two Queen-class battleships were located in the northwest of the Moltke and were in pursuit, and the other side seemed to be faster than themselves...&1t;/p>

"If we expected it well, then their course should be Skaglake Strait." Major General Gunter said.&1t;/p>

"If this is the case, we should be faster, otherwise, let Moore and the others clean up." An officer next to him said relaxedly. The Moore fleet was guarding the Skaglake Strait, which is no secret within the British fleet. Now everyone, including General Gunter, wants to know how frustrated they will be when the Germans find a powerful British fleet guarding here!&1t;/p>
