The British destroyer of Race successfully shot out four torpedoes, then quickly turned toward and was ready to exit the battlefield. The Strong next to him was in a bad luck. A 6-inch shell turned the rifle that was preparing to fire into pieces. The explosion power of tons of explosives and compressed air was so huge that the British destroyer with a displacement of more than 800 tons was thrown into the air like a toy thrown by a child. Then, the poor destroyer was blown to pieces in the air! Countless fragments fell within a radius of several kilometers, and even took a bath for the Dwarf destroyer next to him!

The Dwarf maneuvered wildly on the sea surface to try to dodge. After barely firing three torpedoes, he was hit by a 175mm shell. With a loud bang, the entire stern seemed to be pushed into the sea by an invisible big hand. When it floated up again, the two propellers at the tail were gone!

"Damn it, we can't break through!" A British officer in the command tower of the Caroline looked at the British destroyer that was beaten into pieces by naval guns not far away.

"Let the Second Destroyer Team go up, we must tear the German blockade! Then let our torpedo appear in the German vision!" Major General Goodno ordered loudly.

At this time, not far from Caroline, Major General Von Ruit, who was in charge of the light cruiser of the Stuttgart, was controlling the German light cruiser and destroyer team to form a fine interception network to block the British from approaching!

This interception network consists of two channels. The first is 6 light cruisers leading 18 large destroyers. None of them carries torpedoes, and their mission is to use naval guns to stop most of their opponents. The second is two light cruisers plus a large number of medium-sized destroyers, the latter responsible for intercepting the fish that escaped the net and launching lightning strikes when necessary.

After the losses of several previous naval battles, the British no longer had so many destroyers to squander. Even though the British tried their best this time, on the battlefield, their number of auxiliary warships was at most 2 charges!

More than 20 German light cruisers and large destroyers formed a seemingly loose front. They aimed the side-stringed cannons like shark teeth at the charging British destroyers, just like medieval array musketeers and artillery against cavalry. Although the latter was very fast, the former had faster shells and more fierce attacks!

"Release the smoke! Let's rush up and kill a bloody way for the destroyer team!" When the second batch of destroyers disappeared into the barrage of the German fleet in less than 5 minutes, Goodno finally made up his mind!

"The British fight!" When the smoke spread on the sea again, Von Ruitt accurately realized the British's plan. The British used offensive smoke, which obviously wanted to cover the strong attack of destroyers. When more than 30 British destroyers and light cruisers attacked with all their might, even if they were prepared, the German fleet was still under great pressure!

"As planned, prepare for the formation change! The S boat troops are ready to enter the position, and each light cruiser is staring at the opponent's light cruiser! The task of intercepting the destroyer is handed over to Brigadier General Michelson, the commander of the lightning strike fleet, and that's it!" At the last moment, the German auxiliary ship team carried out the last formation change. Some light destroyers with smaller tonnage quickly moved closer to the light cruiser team, and some large destroyers began to retreat because they wanted to avoid the first wave of attacks from the British light cruiser. If we talk about artillery battles alone, the large destroyers were just a dish in front of the light cruiser!

Caroline, champion, Birkenhead, Chester, and Bellona, ​​five British light cruisers formed an arrow and stabbed the German fleet like a spear. On the other hand, four German light cruisers, Stuttgart, Elbin, Pilao and Rostock, met fearlessly! Countless shells flew past the rapidly approaching fleet of the two countries and shot out water curtains. The subsequent destroyer team rushed through the gaps in the light cruiser formation and began to release torpedoes frantically.

The two sides released hundreds of torpedoes in less than 5 minutes, and white trails with the breath of death crisscrossed the sea. With the shouts and warnings of the lookout hands, the light cruiser flexibly turned and avoided the sea. Show their skills and strength between life and death. However, this is the battlefield after all, and war has always been known for its cruelty and blood!

The Champion Light Cruiser on the left wing of the British fleet became the first victim in this cruiser melee! When it rushed out of the smoke, two huge figures appeared in the enemy less than 4,000 meters away! The two light cruisers, Stuttgart and Elbin, bit the rash British light cruiser at the first time, and then countless shells flew over. In less than 3 minutes, the two German light cruisers smashed at least 20 175mm shells on the other side's hull!

The Champion made its final struggle. At the moment of the raid, it threw away all the torpedoes, and then caught fire at the gun position and the ammunition depot was shot, the British decisively poured water. However, in the end, under unmatched firepower, the light cruiser finally failed and fell into the sand. Six minutes later, the light cruiser's front deck had completely submerged into the sea water. Then, it trembled violently and rolled to the right.

On the other end, Rostock was attacked by Caroline and Birkenhead. From the perspective of a third party, you can see that the side string armor belt of the German light cruiser was constantly shining with orange light spots! The explosion and water column completely covered the warship. Although relying on the 6-inch armor belt, the light cruiser bounced off the shells shot again and again, a large number of high-explosive bombs still made the upper deck and surface of the warship full of holes!

However, even so, the six 175mm cannons on the Rostock still caused considerable damage to the Birkenhead. At a distance of 2,000 meters, three double-mounted turrets spewed deadly flames towards the target like a three-headed dog. Until a 175mm cannon pierced the ammunition depot in the front of the Birkenhead hull!

The shell easily penetrated the 4-inch side string armor and then flew straight into the ammunition depot. The ammunition hoist was rumbling and shattered by the flying shells, and the shells and the medicine bags above exploded. The first half of the hull of the Birkenhead was directly blown to pieces! The huge inertia pushed the remaining hull to continue sailing forward. In the end, the light cruiser could never be pulled out like a long sword inserted into the sea water!
