Chapter 1224 1225 I don't want to continue

"Boom!" The British battleship Nelson was ready to fire and attack the German battleship, and the German naval battleship fleet now only had the strength to persist. ", the fire and counterattack became scattered and slow, and the entire fleet lost the kind of spirit that it should have in the battleship decisive battle.

As the British shells were hit near the bridge of the Battleship Redel, the flagship communications of the German battleship fleet were interrupted for a while, and the battleship Belarus that followed caught fire and exploded, and some parts even splashed on the battleship Ukraine that followed closely behind.

Fortunately, the battleship of the USS Radell, the main force of the German Navy, was still firing and fighting back. The 380mm caliber main artillery shells flew towards the British Navy's battleship fleet. The shells fired by these artillery shells eventually hit the already smoked battleship of the Evil, causing damage to the British battleship again.

Marshal Redell stood on the bridge of the Imperial aircraft carrier and looked at the news that the officers from the telegraph room had sent about the injury of the battleship of the Marshal Redell. The expression on his face was extremely hard to see. It was a battleship named after him. When the battleship was in service, he was once extraordinary because of the name of the battleship.

This name reflects the head of state's favor and also represents his personal prestige in the navy. But now, this battleship was hit by the enemy and was seriously injured. This made Redell feel his face lost and even very upset.

He looked at Lütjens beside him and suddenly asked, "General Lütjens, let the aircraft carrier force seize the time to take off the attack aircraft group! I order you to sink the British naval battleship squadron on the side as soon as possible! You can no longer let the other party get closer!"

"As for orders! Marshal! The carrier-based aircraft has been mounted and is in the process of taking off the formation... In a few minutes, they can fly to the British squadron and sink those damn British battleships!" He knew that he would explain what to do, and Radell was not in the mood to listen, so Lütjens did not say anything else, but said that the carrier-based aircraft had already begun to take off.

Now, fools know that it is unlikely to win this naval battle by relying on the battleship troops. In order to recover the losses, they can only continue to take off the planes on the aircraft carrier and continue to attack the British naval fleet. Therefore, Lütjens ordered the takeoff of the planes as soon as possible and carry out the first round of assault on the Battleship of the Wicked and the Royal Navy squadron led by the Battleship of the Nelson.

Just as the German Navy was rushing to take off the carrier-based aircraft to recover the downturn in the battleship duel, good news came from the British Navy's main fleet: the Ark Royal aircraft carrier eventually lost the possibility of rescue due to the explosion. The aircraft carrier slowly sank in the fire and made huge explosions from time to time.

What Lütjens and the German Navy don't know now is that because the explosion came too suddenly and too quickly, few people on the Royal Ark aircraft carrier survived, including General Dudley Pound, the commander-in-chief of the British Royal Navy and the commander-in-chief of the Allied Atlantic Fleet. This cautious British veteran, after struggling to support the British Royal Navy for a year in Canada, put an end to the end of the hegemony of the entire Royal Navy fleet in this naval battle.

In the huge explosion that collapsed half of the bridge and exploded a chimney, all the commanders, including the captain of the Royal Ark, were not spared. General Dudley Pound, who was unconscious, did not even leave his last words, and became a general who died with the explosion.

The British Royal Navy fleet, which had lost its commander, had to send a telegram to General Connorson, who had already successfully raided, and handed over the command of the entire battlefield to the captain of the battleship of the USS Vander: "Unfortunate news: General Dudley Pound has died... You are now taking over the command of the battlefield. Before receiving a new mission, our fleet will maintain its existing route and continue to rush to the German high seas fleet!"

After seeing this telegram, Connorson had no time to refuse. He could only reply to the other party, in a very concise tone: "Receive it!" Then he gave his first order after taking over all the ships of the Royal Navy: "Continue to advance towards the German Navy and use artillery to encircle and annihilate the remaining German ships."

Under this order, the British Navy continued to move closer to the German Navy, and at the place where the battleships exchanged fire, the fleets of both sides continued to shell each other, without any intention of retreating. The British Navy battleships began to concentrate their artillery fire and aimed all their cannons at the Belarus, which had already caught fire in the middle of the German Navy's fleet.

This is a way of combat in naval battles. First, completely sink the enemy's injured warship, and use the fastest speed to reduce the opponent's personnel and break the formation: doing so can damage the opponent's morale and reduce the opponent's troops as much as possible. The British Royal Navy used this tactic more than once to defeat the superior enemy.

There is an old saying in China that it is better to cut one finger than to hurt one finger, which is the same. Therefore, the battleship Belarus, which has lost its combat capability, was hit by another round of shells before it could repair it. This round of shells hit the thickest part of the armor and destroyed a main gun turret on the bow.

The huge explosion completely destroyed the turret, with only two of the three cannons left, and the remaining two seemed to have no soul, hanging on the deck without any movement. With this time being hit, the Belarus battleship completely lost its combat capability, and the entire hull began to tilt slightly.

"Give up the ship!" The captain of the USS Belarus battleship has persisted until now and has no courage to continue fighting. He knows that the only reason why his warship is still floating on the sea is that the water inlet has not reached a certain number. In terms of combat capabilities, his warship is no different from sinking.

He once sent a telegram to his flagship, Navy Marshal Radell, asking commander Bastian to allow him to order the ship to abandon, but before the telegram was received, the bridge of the flagship was hit by shells fired by the British Navy. He persisted until now, but he still couldn't wait for the answer he wanted, and he had to take his own initiative to issue an order for all personnel to abandon the ship and escape.

After the order was issued, accompanied by explosions and fires, the sailors on the Belarusian battleship began to jump away from their warships. The soldiers on the other side began to use cranes to lower the lifeboats on the ship, and there were calls for help and cries everywhere. When the German army had not completed the abandonment of the ship, another round of shells landed near the Belarusian, killing many soldiers and hitting the sinking battleship.

"Fire! Fire! The Belarus is finished. Are we going to be the next Belarus?" On the bridge of the Ukrainian battleship, the commander desperately urged his men to fire shells as soon as possible to drive away the British Royal Navy battleships. He had just received a notice from the main fleet. Not far behind the German battleship fleet, the injured British battleship Queen Elizabeth and Ramirez were coming at the fastest speed. It was obvious that the other party had already made dumplings in the German battleship squadron. Now it seems that at least the German battleship squadron is in danger at this moment.

"The battleship of the USS Raidel Marshal! General Bastian has resumed communications!" A naval officer ran to his superiors with a message. Hearing that his commander was safe and had resumed communications, there was a cheer on the bridge of the USS Ukrainian battleship.

At least they don’t have to rely on themselves to fight alone without command. This is really rare good news for the inexperienced German Navy. With the recovery of communication, the German battleship squadron began to cheer up again, and the distance between the two sides became closer and closer, which also made the German Navy’s shortcomings in shooting training to a certain extent.

Then the German naval battleship Radell Marshal fired another volley and hit the British battleship Badman who was rushing in front. The two sides evenly fought each other. The sound of shells hitting the hull and the sound of fires rolling. The two warships simultaneously emitted thick smoke, as if fragments of purgatory were scattered on the sea.

However, on the other side, the battleship Nelson fought against the Ukrainian battleship and showed a crushing momentum. Six cannons fired almost at the same time. Two shells hit the side of the Ukrainian side, and suddenly stumbled the two main turrets on the Ukrainian battleship, making General Bastian anxiously not know what to do.

The battle didn't last long, but for the two commanders Bastian and Connorson, it was as long as half a century had passed. Every fire broke out, which made the two people very nervous. At least they all hoped that their attacks could create miracles and reverse the situation of the entire naval battle.

Unfortunately, in the end, it was not German battleships or British battleships that reversed the naval battleships... it was a carrier-based aircraft unit that was urgently taken off by the German Navy. Although the German aircraft carrier fleet took off the aircraft slower because it was about to welcome the fifth wave attack aircraft group that was returning, these carrier-based aircraft still rushed to the battlefield before the German battleships were wiped out.
