At such a distance, Thor had no choice but to retreat! Accompanied by the sound of the torpedo cutting the water surface and the white exhaust gas traces extending at the tail, the torpedo weighing more than 500 kilograms rushed towards the poor warship with the Grim Reaper greetings. One minute later, four huge water columns rose on the left and right sides of the Thor at the same time!

"Thor is over!" Everyone who saw this scene knew the result. The 500-kilogram torpedo was indeed smaller, but it was hit 4 shots at the same time in almost a minute! This huge damage is very uncomfortable even for the intact Bavarian-class battleship, not to mention the first-generation British super fearlessness known for its fragile underwater protection?

The total charge of the 4 torpedoes is at least 600 kilograms! The violent explosion blew up the surrounding sea water to boil! A trace of white steam and the splash of water completely obscured the warship! Even to outsiders, the entire warship was blown up by this huge explosion as if it was suddenly jumped up!

Accompanied by the loud thunderous sound, the sailing Thor's bow suddenly plunged into the sea water, and thousands of tons of sea water rushed to the deck violently. The waves hit the cannons, the cabins and all items on the deck! In an instant, Thor's No. 2 turret was even submerged! Later, although the sea water faded a little, half of the Thor's No. 1 turret was already under the waterline!

Three of the 4 torpedo hit the front half of the hull. In a very short time, these three torpedo brought about about 2,800 tons of water to Thor! With the previous water inflow, this warship with a full load displacement of only 25,000 tons has already flowed more than 4,300 tons! There is no doubt that even without the attack below, this warship will definitely not be able to go back. After all, not all warships are called Seidritz......

The last torpedo made the warship die even more decisively! This torpedo hit the old injury position of Thor! After the explosion of 150 kilograms of explosives, Thor, which was already close to the limit of the hull under the impact of shelling and seawater, finally couldn't hold on!

"From a distance, Thor is like a suddenly collapsed building. The superstructure quickly disintegrated and sank into the sea water. Under the influence of the inlet and the weight of the hull, the Thor's hull broke from the middle. The first half of the hull quickly disappeared from the sea surface, and the second half of the hull also rolled and sank into the seabed. The destroyer next to it tried to save the poor people who fell into the water. However, the huge vortex when the warship sank not only made the destroyer unable to save one person, but instead made itself dragged into the vortex as if he was being held tightly by an invisible big hand! No more than 80 crew members on the Destroyer destroyer survived!" After the war, a British naval officer described the last moment of Thor and the poor worm next to him.

Shortly after the Thor's battle sank, the Iron Duke, the flagship of the Great Fleet, laid the footsteps of Thor. In fact, the Iron Duke can survive the attacks of 16 15-inch artillery guns of the two warships, Württemberg and Saxony, can be described as a miracle! Originally, the Iron Duke was far from the opponent of Württemberg. After Saxony turned the artillery fire to the Iron Duke, it accelerated the destruction of the warship.

However, the British tried their best to protect their flagships. The warships next to them provided firepower support. In the end, they could not suppress their opponents, the British destroyer provided smoke cover for the battleship. Of course, all this was just delaying the destruction of the Duke of Tie. Not only the Germans knew this, but the British also knew it very well. Ten minutes ago, when the German bombers dropped the first bomb, Jericho and his command team were ready to transfer.

"Commander, the Iron Duke is no longer able to perform its flagship duties. On behalf of all the officers and soldiers of the Second Battleship Detachment, I hope that the General can move to the Revenge battleship and continue to command this battle." Standing on the shaking battleship, Lieutenant General Duff said to Jericho.

"You can also transfer, it's too late for the Iron Duke. Now the second battleship squad is only Benbao and the Indian Queen. Lieutenant General Stedi was injured in the battle just now. His fleet still has three super fearless ships. Now, go to the Indian Emperor of India and command the remaining second and third battleship squadrons." Before leaving, Jericho did not forget to make some adjustments to the fleet.

"Everyone, take care of yourself. I hope that when the war is over, we can all return to Fors Bay together." After Jericho said that, he looked at the German High Seas Fleet in the distance. He felt mixed feelings in his heart. You know, before the war, Jericho had formulated a "beheading" plan and was preparing to attack the flagship of the German fleet from the beginning. However, now, let alone the beheading plan was not implemented at all, his flagship was "beheaded" first. This is really a bitter irony for him!

Jericho left very decisively. Maybe he was reluctant to part with his flagship, but the current situation was critical, so how could he let his ink? So, under the cover of smoke, the Iron Duke temporarily escaped from the attack of German artillery fire, and several destroyers also quickly tried to pick Jericho and others up on the ship, and then moved to the battleship of the Revenge.

Revenge is the best choice, because in the entire British fleet's front line, the British First Battleship Squadron led by Revenge is in the best situation! At least now in an advantageous position. To be honest, one inch larger artillery is an advantage. When Su Xiong took Sharnhorst and Gneisenau, he was able to escape from Thomas' encirclement. 40% of the reason was that the British armor-piercing bombs were not good, and 40% of the reason was that they were lucky! And now if they really did stand up and output, the Revenge level was really fierce!

Just after Jericho and others moved, the already severely damaged Iron Duke could no longer hold on, and the British destroyer would not use precious cigarette tanks for this warship that was destined to sink. After all, 4 of the Iron Duke's five turrets had been poured into water, and the entire warship was hit no less than 20 times. Zuoxian was already flush with the water surface. It was really thanks to luck to survive until now.

When the German Air Force's torpedo plane arrived, the main ship of the High Seas Fleet decisively stopped shelling. This battleship was no longer worth their waste of precious shells, and German bombers even saved bomb suppression. After the British destroyers dispersed, three torpedo planes entered the attack route from the left. After two loud bangs, the Iron Duke also sank into the sea. So far, the British Navy had lost 4 super fearless battleships!
