Many British naval officers and soldiers on King George V of the British witnessed this successful water bomb attack, and they even called this attack "devil's assassination". The British were not unaware of the water bomb, but after the shells entered the water, they could still maintain such a long distance and finally hit the warship, which was beyond the British's perception! In fact, this time the water bomb hit was indeed a limit! Because, according to the current German Navy's shell design level, the maximum linear movement distance that a shell can maintain in sea water is 80 to 100 bullet diameter lengths! As a 350mm shell can hit the target after traveling 25 meters in the water, this is already close to the limit!

"Many of us have seen the scene when this shell fell into the water! It landed on the sea less than 30 meters away from us. The splashing water column fell even on the deck. While we were afraid, we were glad that we had escaped! After all, even a torpedo exploded at such a long distance would not cause too much damage to the warship. However, the next thing was beyond our perception. A white line traveling through the sea water was more than the marks left by the torpedo.

The trace is much shallow, but it is too fast! In an instant, we could not imagine what kind of weapon would be like! Then this white line coincided with our warship, and a loud bang came from the bottom of the ship. At this moment, we thought we were ambushed by a submarine! However, after the war, we realized that this was a shot in the water, and a shot in the water that could pass through the water like a torpedo!" After the war, a British officer described this shot in the report with a very long range!

"General, King George V of England sent a signal that the hull was too much water and the power system was damaged, so I'm afraid that it would not be able to keep up with us! They expressed their willingness to stay and stop the two German battle cruisers!" A moment later, Lieutenant General Duff received this telegram that made him desperate! It was his bottom line to bring four super fearless ships to support Thomas' fleet, but now, 4 ships have become 3 ships! Duff, who has been highly nervous by today's battles and setbacks, is finally coming to his limit!

"Damn German!" Lieutenant General Duff stared at the German warship in the distance that was still firing behind the back! He kept repeating these words, and a crazy idea took shape in his mind.

"It seems that we have no chance to help General Jericho, right?" Lieutenant General Duff turned his head, looked at the wall clock on the wall and his subordinates on the side and said. Although Duff was a little angry, this sentence was still correct, because more than an hour has passed since the end of the first air strike of the German Navy, that is to say, the German Air Force is about to prepare for the second wave of air strikes! And when the second wave of carrier-based aircraft arrives, even if the battle on the sea of ​​the British fleet can still maintain a draw, then when the German planes cover the sky, Jericho is powerless to turn the situation back!

"I order the fleet to turn, target Hippel Fleet! Since we are doomed to fail in this battle, at least we will recover some of the costs before we lose!" Finally, Lieutenant General Duff gave up his support to Thomas Fleet and decided to aim his muzzle at Hippel Fleet in the distance! If he could sink several more German warships before he was killed or escaped, it would be great!

"The British fleet turned! Their target seemed to be us!" said suddenly, looking at the British fleet in the distance, at the top of the mast of the Seedlitz.

"Please avoid it, and in addition, send a telegram to the fourth battleship [31 Novel Network] squadron, asking them to prepare to break off contact with those British dreadnoughts. Our mission is completed, and it is time to consider protecting ourselves!"

Hippel did not expect that the mission would be completed so quickly. This time Hippel seemed to be lucky. He was successfully shot in a water and slowed down the British King George V. Lieutenant General Duff also gave up the support plan because of this problem. However, when you anger a lion and protect others, you have to face the lion's anger. At this time, Hippel decisively responded and saved many German naval officers and soldiers again, because he thought of a problem. Duff may not just capture himself this time. Compared with the high-speed German battlecruiser, the two already seriously injured Helgolan-class battleships are also good targets!

So at the first moment, while avoiding the attack of the Duff fleet, he ordered the Helgolan-class battleship to prepare to leave the battlefield and meet with him!

"General, their speed is too fast, and there is smoke covering it!" Facing the fast-moving German battlecruiser, the scarred British super fearless feeling that they could not use it. They could see it, but could not catch it! Then Lieutenant General Duff's choice was indeed the same as Hippel. After hesitating for a while, Lieutenant General Duff decided to attack the two remaining Helgolan-class battleships!

Then, the situation of these two Helgolan-class battleships was very bad. Although the maximum speed was still not something that the British dreadnought could catch up after being damaged, it would take time to speed up. Moreover, including the Duff fleet that had just arrived, the British fleet surrounded the two German fast battleships from three directions. What a tragic thing! The dense shells flew to the two poor battleships from multiple directions again, and the Oldenburg, which was originally seriously injured, became the focus of attention!

Based on the principle that it is better to cut one finger than to hurt one finger, the British decisively concentrated most of their firepower on this poor German warship. Countless water columns obscured the target, and even the British could not effectively distinguish the landing points. They rushed up frantically and attacked as close as possible! The explosions from the Oldenburg from time to time made all the Germans present feel tight!

"Boom!" With the explosion sound from the side of the hull again, the Oldenburg seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer, and it seemed that the hull was shaking. This time, the reliable armor seemed to be apart from some problems. The British were lucky enough to hit the bullet, directly hitting a wound before! After a continuous heavy blow, even the armor that could block the 15-inch shell at this distance theoretically finally collapsed! Although the Oldenburg adopted a design that was off-capped, the outer armor was 60mm and the inner main armor was 250mm. However, the first shell lifted off a large piece of outer steel plate, and the shell almost hit the inner main armor belt. The British 343mm artillery was still very powerful, otherwise it would not have been built so many! With the cooperation of the new armor-piercing shell, the defense outside the Oldenburg power chamber finally collapsed!
