One of the torpedo hit the area in the front of the first turret of the ship. The powerful torpedo directly tear a scar over 7 meters on the side of the hull. The violent explosion directly blew the entire steel plate into pieces. At the same time, the hull absorbed a large amount of energy generated by the explosion and directly deformed. From the perspective of Von Detten behind him, the side string of this slender and handsome German battlecruiser was concave! And due to the high navigation problem, a large amount of sea water poured into it. In just a few minutes, this breach brought more than 12o tons of water to the Goben!&1t;/p>

The second torpedo hit the power cabin in the middle of the hull. Although the underwater defense system with a depth of 3.5 is quite powerful, due to the long-term navigation before, the fuel consumption was a bit large. Unfortunately, the part hit was just so full... The upper part of the heavy oil layer, which was originally nearly 1 meter thick, was almost empty, so the defense was discounted.&1t;/p>

After the violent explosion, the last line of defense of the hull was torn open, and a large amount of sea water poured into the third-layer boiler compartment of Goben. Fortunately, only the right-most cabin had water inflowed. Yongxiong's sea water wrapped in a large amount of metal debris directly extinguished the flames in the boiler, cut off the steam pipeline, and instantly submerged the personnel inside. In just less than 3 minutes, Goben lost one-third of its power. Some sea water even poured into other places through the broken cabin. The water supply gates were closed one after another, but even so, the torpedo brought more than 80 tons of water inlet to Goben!&1t;/p>

After the warship instantly increased the displacement of nearly 2ooo tons, the inclination angle of the entire warship quickly increased to about 15 degrees. At this time, the Goben had lost its combat effectiveness and its navigation will be further reduced. If there was a British submarine around, the ship would be really dangerous. Fortunately, the submarine's torpedo reloading degree is now good to be reloaded in 40 minutes. Therefore, for the Germans, this wave of torpedo attacks are the beginning and the end.&1t;/p>

"Recalling the light cruisers and destroyers immediately, our hunting failed." Major General von Lefedov looked at the Queen Elizabeth battleship, which had gradually distanced away, and decided to stop the pursuit and let the destroyers come back to do anti-submarine work first, and at the same time carry out emergency repairs on the Goben. See how to bring them back.&1t;/p>

The Germans' disposal work was quite appropriate. The drainage door of the surrounding cabin had been lowered. The pump started draining under the power of electricity. The loss-controlled team members also began to seal the damaged gap. Of course, because the torpedo's breakout is really large, it is impossible to block it directly. They can only try to reduce the inlet as much as possible. At the same time, the pipes that can be used at the bottom of the ship are started, and the water inlet on the right is introduced to the left. After a series of efforts, the water inlet of the hull gradually balanced. The inclination angle also recovered from the maximum 17.5 degrees to about 12 degrees, but the water inlet in the warship has increased to 23oo tons......&1t;/p>

Although he suffered a heavy blow, if there was no follow-up attack, Von Lefcoff thought it would be a big problem to bring back the warship. Thomas in the distance should not dare to come back. After the destroyer returned, the possibility of a submarine attack was very small. However, at this moment, the sudden rise of the fire in the distance made the major general's heart tight!&1t;/p>

"Parase!!" What's going on in this tm?! The major general looked at the fireballs that were constantly shining in the distance and cursed loudly! The distance between the other party was very close to him, only about 12 to 14 kilometers! The target they were aiming at was the battleship Goben, which had just been severely damaged! A few dozen seconds later, huge water columns surrounded the seriously injured battleship.&1t;/p>

"Release the smoke screen and cover the Goben!" Now Major General von Lefsov had a completely dull feeling, but this did not prevent him from making the right decision. The smoke screen released by the Goben quickly covered the hull, and at the same time, relying on the remaining power to evacuate away from the battlefield. The Moltke battlecruiser and the battlecruiser von der Tinn turned around to meet the enemy!&1t;/p>

"Damn maggots, stay well and I can't find you! Now that you're out, you're looking for death!" The major general exuded his evil spirit on two British battlecruisers who took advantage of the situation! At this time, Jericho also tried his best to contact Thomas to see if he could kill this severely damaged warship.&1t;/p>

Of course, because the communication antenna of the Tiger was destroyed, Betty could only send the signal to the New Zealander behind through the flag and lights, and then the New Zealander contacted Queen Elizabeth by telegram. In just a few minutes, the two sides communicated at least 6 times. As for the content of the communication, it could be completely simplified into the following dialogue.&1t;/p>

Betty: The opponent stepped on a mine, come and kill him quickly.&1t;/p>

Thomas: Bandage and get back into the blood, why don’t you leave quickly.&1t;/p>

Betty: Let's go! Take his life while he is sick!&1t;/p>

Thomas: Parents are here, be careful!&1t;/p>

The situation is very simple now. Betty, who was as aggressive as a bullfight, wanted to take advantage of the situation to fight back. However, Thomas's Queen Elizabeth battleship was not in good condition. Although it was not hurt, it was definitely a shame. It took more than ten minutes to finish the fire and clean up. The German fleet was around. If the German battleship surrounded him when he beat the German battleship and the German battleship came around, it would be bad! But at this time, Thomas was embarrassed to leave directly. After all, he could run out. Betty helped him. Thomas was still unable to do this behavior of selling his teammates without saying a word.&1t;/p>

"In the ten minutes, we only have half an hour at most. If we cannot sink our opponent, we must leave no matter what!" The final compromise was Thomas. In addition to the actual chance on the battlefield, another important factor was that Thomas was not willing to give up! He was so confused that he was killed by someone, and he was unbalanced in anyone's heart!&1t;/p>

Twelve minutes later, Queen Elizabeth-class battleship finally aimed the gun at the Major General's flagship Moltke! After 6 15-inch heavy artillery joined the battle, the situation of the German fleet immediately became quite bad!&1t;/p>

"Release the smoke immediately, let's delay." The Moltke, which was attacked by the crossfire of two battleships, the Tiger and the Queen, immediately released the smoke and dodge. The three British battleships in the distance did not give up, but continued to look for opportunities around the German fleet. As time passed by minute by minute, the situation on the battlefield changed a little again.&1t;/p>

"We have blocked some gaps. Although one motor cabin was destroyed, the other three motor cabins are still operating well." On the battleship of Zhonglei's Goben, the officer in charge of the damage to the captain Colonel Halden reported to Captain.&1t;/p>
