"Quiet, the battle has just begun. This victory is nothing compared to the achievements we want to achieve. So, I hope everyone can continue to work hard, for the empire and for the high seas fleet!" Ruprecht said after making a quiet gesture. However, Ruprecht subconsciously looked at the wall clock on the wall and recorded this time point. In the tenth minute after the war started, the first British main ship sank!

"Order all warships to fill up in order." Jericho looked at the sea in the distance, where the battleship Marporo disappeared. Although there was no expression on his face, Jericho was still held deep in his heart by anxiety and fear.

Before today, he had always firmly believed that if everyone had set his sights on fighting, even if the high seas fleet was elite, even if it was absolutely inferior to the artillery battle, it would not be the opponent of the large fleet. The Dogel Sands Battle, which had caused Betty to fall into the sand, was just because the Germans used battleships to fight British battlecruisers. But now it seems that his super fearless people are no different from battlecruisers under the Germans' 15-inch naval gun!

Shortly after the Bavaria obtained its first kill, a newcomer from the "Bavarian Family" also obtained the first kill in his service career soon! Moreover, this kill is valuable, because the No. 11 ship of the Bavaria, the Mainingen, faces the attack of two British battleships at the same time, although they are both dreadnoughts!

The British Fleet still has a tiny numerical advantage after all. The two dreadnoughts of the British Fourth Battleship Detachment, the Boronofon and the Reckless, can concentrate the 20 12-inch artillery on the two battleships, tilting the bullets towards the Meningen. It has to be said that even if the distance measurement is incorrect, the huge projection can still make up for this mistake. Every minute, more than 30 shells roared at the "newcomer".

The British Royal Navy's tactical qualities are still very good. They coordinated each other's attack rhythm well and did not allow the water columns falling from the two warships to overlap. After the initial adaptation, the British also began to make a hit.

Shortly after a 12-inch shell shot from Boronofen was successfully bounced away by the side string armor belt of the Meiningen, another shell flew from the Reckless lit a small fire on the upper deck of the rear of the hull of the Meiningen, which made Major General Maofu on the Meiningen very unhappy.

"Damn it, we are a new ship." Major General Maofu said dissatisfiedly. After all, it is a new warship that has not been in service for a long time. In terms of training level and the level of running-in of the warship personnel, this new man must have a big gap compared to his old seniors. Moreover, he still fought against two warships at the same time. Although the shells that the opponent kept firing could not cause fatal damage to the Mainingen, it still made the warship a little busy. At least the water columns that kept rising around the hull made it difficult for the Mainingen to observe and aim. In order to avoid the shells, he needed to continuously adjust the course on a small scale.

However, as the air force gradually grasped the air superiority of the battlefield and brought the agile aircraft on the battleships to the British fleet, the situation changed a little! Because the observation conditions of aircraft in the air were much better!

"We clamped the Boronofon again! Perfect clamping!" Because signal transmission and processing take time, Meningen's firing speed was not fast, and it was carried out at a speed of about 45 seconds in one and a half-volley. When the reconnaissance plane in the air sent a telegram of the perfect landing point, the Meningen poured its anger towards the target with all its strength like an angry lion!

"Keep the course of the warship unchanged! Don't worry about the British hits! Kill the Boronofon!" Major General Maofu ordered loudly, and with the help of the plane, the Meningen finally made a first hit in the 8th minute. A 15-inch shell landed between the No. 1 and No. 2 of the Boronofon. The violent explosion and vibration distorted the deck and the gun ring, and the rotating mechanism of the two turrets were stuck. This undoubtedly greatly reduced the pressure on the Meningen.

Then, the performance of the Meiningen gradually improved. During the fifteenth round of volley, three shells were thrown on the hull of Boronofon. One of them was shot into the engine compartment at the rear of the hull. With the violent explosion, the entire compartment was blown into pieces. Unfortunately, next to the engine compartment was the fuel used in the generator compartment! Under the action of high temperature, gasoline was evaporated in large quantities. When the gasoline steam in the air reached a certain density, a little spark turned the oil tank into a huge burning gasoline bomb!

The violent explosion not only destroyed the ship's propulsion equipment, but also cut off the fuel supply from the motor cabin. Without electricity, there was no way to put out the fire. So the fire began to spread unrestrictedly in the hull, and the subsequent explosion even caused several large holes to explode at the bottom of the ship. In the end, the Boronofen was forced to hang up a signal indicating that it was unable to participate in the war and was preparing to withdraw from the battle line.

Shortly after the signal was released, several explosions suddenly occurred inside the hull of this old fearless ship! A huge cloud of mushroom rose to a height of hundreds of meters. Countless fragments and parts were thrown into the air. More than 800 British Royal Navy officers and soldiers on the warship eventually survived, and no one knew what happened in the end. It is generally believed that the fire in the engine room affected the ammunition depot in the middle of the hull, which caused the ammunition depot to explode. As for the real reason, it was covered in the rolling waves of the Norwegian Sea.

"Is this a slump?" Not only did the British feel surprised, but even the German naval officers and soldiers on the Meiningen felt that it was a bit too strange to say goodbye to the Chinese New Year. Why was there a battleship on the opposite side, and it actually died like this? This war is too simple, right?

"Are the British warships all crispy?"

"It must have been God who borrowed our hands to cook the British."

"Okay, everyone, this is just the beginning! Today, we will definitely record our name in history. In order to make the empire and history remember us, we must continue to work hard!" It was Major General Maofu who had seen the world. According to his words, if there was a British warship inexplicably sinking, then don't be surprised, continue to work hard and prepare to fight another one.

"Commander, the Boronofen has also sunk." Lieutenant General Duff said to Jericho with a complicated expression.
