And Stettin naturally would not fight against this queen, immediately released the smoke screen and hid in the shadow. Fortunately, the British battleship had no intention of staying here, and immediately flashed after forcing his opponent to retreat. This battleship was the Malaya, which was the first to leave after Thomas ordered the disbanding of the fleet to escape!&1t;/p>

What is completely different from what most British people imagine is that the Malaya has no intention of fulfilling others by sacrificing itself! Colonel Sinclair's idea is to take advantage of the waters! "If, after the German warship kills our auxiliary warships and then comes up to catch us, then we have no chance at all. To give an image example, our warships are like fish in a pond. The Germans are like fishers fishing with trawls. Their encirclement quickly closes to the center. The only chance is that before the other party completely encircles, they run out of the loopholes without waiting, and we cannot even escape from the direction they expected, because there is a trap set by the hunter!"&1t;/p>

To apply an ancient Eastern proverb, it is to take advantage of the situation! The German fleet did not expect that at this time the British would go against the rules and rush up against the German fleet's blade. Of course, Colonel Sinclair's command was also better. Although they followed the lightning strike force, they were on the side and rear of the lightning strike force, and their position was just downwind. In this way, the smoke screen released by the British light cruisers and destroyers well covered the "smuggler".&1t;/p>

In this case, if some luck is added, the two German fleets staring at the main force of the Thomas fleet did not expect that such a warship would run out of the gap between their two fleets. If two of them ran out this time, they might be discovered because of their big target. However, unfortunately, this time, the Malaya, which was in the best condition in the fleet, ran out, and when it came out, it was scrapped the radio communication equipment of the Stedtin... So, Colonel Sinclair, who was skilled and brave, successfully escaped with the Malaya.&1t;/p>

Of course, this behavior is suspected of taking the blame for the entire fleet. Although this method has saved the warships, it is understandable, but for the Royal Navy, which advocates dedication and sacrifice, this behavior has been subject to the responsibilities of many people. Of course, this is a later story. Let's put our perspective back on the main battlefield. At this time, the advantageous German auxiliary warships have basically completely cleared the British light cruisers and destroyers. In addition to leaving a small amount of troops to continue to deal with the remaining enemies, more than 70% of the British auxiliary warships have been sunk in battle, or are ready to sink... and the remaining 4 Queen Elizabeth-class battleships held together were also bitten by the German fleet coming from all directions!&1t;/p>

The Goben, Moltkev and von der Tinn were three pure-blooded battle cruisers commanded by Major General Lefedov. Their main goal was to maintain a relatively intact Thomas flagship, Queen Elizabeth. There would have been Seedritz, but because of a torpedo, the Seedritz, which failed to meet the standards, could only siege the British warships that had already been descended with other battleships.&1t;/p>

The four Bavarian-class battleships took the lead, and took a group of brothers to catch up with the Seventh Counterattack of the Queen Elizabeth-class battleships in the last battleship! The warship had already entered more than 15oo tons of water in the battle just now, and the warship had tilted 5 degrees, and the power system also suffered a certain loss. The maximum flight is about 22 knots. Faced with this British warship that has become a lame wolf, Hippel thought it was too luxurious to arrange four Bavaria, so he decided to send two to continue chasing the other queens.&1t;/p>

At the last moment of the counterattack, the British warship, which had just been in service for three months, tried to fight back, and the jackal who fought to the death did have some impact on the lion. Two 15-inch shells hit the Deshao's ship's position. One of the shells tore open the 6-inch thick armor belt, and the debris after the explosion penetrated two compartments, while the other shell actually shot into the water. The shell hit 5 meters under the water like a torpedo. The sharp warhead easily tore open three layers of high elastic steel plates, and exploded before approaching the last layer of lightning protection wall!&1t;/p>

The British shells were not a joke. Countless fragments blew the outer lightning protection wall at the lower part of the turret to pieces. However, the heavy oil tank in the middle played a huge role. The viscous heavy oil with a thickness of nearly 1 meter inside greatly weakened the impact of the shrapnel. The last layer of the underwater defense system of the Bavaria was proved to be reliable enough. The lightning protection wall extending from the main armor belt successfully blocked the fragments. After a crackling impact, there was no crack...&1t;/p>

However, a large amount of water inflow is inevitable. The shell brought 90 tons of water inflow to the battleship, but through the underwater communicator, part of the water was pumped into the countermeasure compartment. A few minutes later, the inclination angle of Bavaria was corrected. Hippel said that although this attack was insidious, it had little effect...&1t;/p>

The Counterattack was surrounded by two Bavarian-class battleships. After three minutes of fighting again, Weimar achieved its first hit, and the shell directly advanced the defeat of the Counterattack! Accompanied by a harsh whistling, the 875kg shell successfully hit the stern of the ship. The horizontal incident shell easily tore open the horizontal armor on the upper part of the stern servo, and then smashed the equipment and personnel inside. The shell felt not powerful enough. After falling on the floor and exploded, the violent explosion opened a big hole at the bottom of the ship! Accompanied by loud noises and metal tearing, a servo and a propeller on the side of the hull of the Deeperattack were directly removed! The huge transmission shaft made a burst of noise that was enough to make people collapse. A few minutes later, the British on the entire battleship knew that Weimar could no longer be operated!&1t;/p>

Then the remaining battle entered the target state. Facing an antelope with its limbs broken, two Bavarian-class battleships threw a shell on the other side's hull from a distance of 12 kilometers, like a target. The violent explosion and the flames that soared into the air never stopped. After less than a quarter of an hour of attack, when Weimar drove the last 4 main turret of the Counterattack, which could counterattack, into a burning iron box, the warship completely lost its combat effectiveness.&1t;/p>
