Otherwise, what if the Royal Navy is NB in ​​this era? Not to mention anything else, at least their sense of responsibility and courage are still the best of those younger generations after the end of the Cold War. Seeing their transport ships being killed one by one, the Sydney and Melbourne finally couldn't help it, and they were going to launch a counterattack!

The Sydney first exposed a head from the smoke screen and prepared to fire a torpedo, and then the 150mm shell, which was like raindrops, hit the head and head. Although the Sydney has a 4-inch armor belt, its height and length are relatively urgent. Even the 150mm secondary shell can force these light cruisers to retreat.

After a 6-inch gun position was knocked out, the Sydney obediently avoided the smoke, and the Melbourne was even more unlucky. After rushing out the smoke at a distance of 8 kilometers, it was just targeted by the main gun of the Gneisenau. Although there was no shooting, the rear main gun group of Gneisenau still left a deep scar on the Melbourne when it was almost flat!

A 350mm high-explosion bomb penetrated straight from the upper edge of the Melbourne armor. After smashing the next door, it exploded in one side of the Melbourne engine room. The shells like meteorites collided with the roaring steam turbine. After a loud bang, the poor warship spread out on the sea like a hyena with a broken spine. It could only use the other half of the power to avoid it backwards!

"Destroyer! Destroyer is coming up quickly! We have not much time left!" The captain of the Sydney captain looked at the sea behind him anxiously. Should those destroyers come up?

At this time, the answer was a burst of cannon sounds like a bean! When the British had high hopes passed by the four merchant ships in front, the 150mm and 75mm cannons suddenly extended from the side of the latter once again caught the British off guard! And these four auxiliary cruisers were the four ships that were blocked between the British fleet and the German fleet! That is, the four attack ships under Su Xiong, named after sea fish! They endured until now, finally extinguished the last fire of hope of the British!

"If it weren't for our ship, how could it have been so appropriately blocked between the British and our warships, creating a perfect opportunity for us to catch the enemy?" Afterwards, Redell boasted about his arrangement in public more than once! That's right, the mission of these four auxiliary cruisers was to provide cover for the two super fearless ships. Then when the big ships on both sides were fighting together, the four auxiliary cruisers cleared the destroyers at the right time, and then killed those transport ships that had no defense at all!

At this moment, the plan of "Brother Slide" Redel has been fully presented to the world. The Nautilus attack ship, which first entered the strait, was to use mines to block the exit of the strait. 500 mines were arranged in a place with a width of no more than 10 kilometers and a narrower passageway. The density was already quite high. According to Caron, if there was no mine-branch chart, from the perspective of probability, British transport ships could always encounter a mine. And what if you went there? An unarmed transport ship faced an auxiliary cruiser that could wrestle the arm of a light cruiser? Think too much about you? By the way, as for another destroyer, the Drosophila Fly, this annoying fly did not encounter the Nautilus, but was dealt with by the mines laid by the latter!

The other four "fish" are opening the way in front of the main battleship and playing the role of innocent people. As long as they don't fire first, once the British fight with the two super fearless ships, how can they care about them? So they can avoid the defense that they absolutely cannot defeat, avoid the two light cruisers with almost 5,000 tons that they can't defeat, and then find the destroyer to attack the transport ships that are crowded together after cleaning up! Why is Redell not in a hurry? It's because his auxiliary cruiser has already penetrated into the enemy!

The British chose to break through the straits, waiting for them who were the Thunder Array and the Nautilus. If they chose to disperse, then there were naturally 4 fish and 2 ships to solve the super fearless treatment of the British fleet. This is not in the ocean. Once the formation is disbanded, everyone can run away and you can't chase it. The area of ​​the Gulf of Aden is not very large, and the sea area at the entrance of the Mande Strait will be smaller. Where are you running? Didn't you see, are there seaplanes staring in the sky? Even if you can run, how many can you run?

So, the main battleship, auxiliary cruiser, and mines were in a suitable sea area, and combined with a careful plan, which eventually led to a classic sea ambush battle. Of course, it could also be called sea slaughter! It was like a group of wolves making their prey feel a cliff and then letting their prey jump down by themselves... And because Radell made this plan, he won the title of Indian wolf king from the British!

The British did not receive the news, but it was useless to receive it, because at this time the British Mediterranean Fleet was blocking the Authorde Fleet with the French. This inaccurate news was not possible to allow the British Mediterranean Fleet to enter the Red Sea. In addition, the perpetrators were two warships that had been "sold" to Argentina, so the British could not think of this situation even if they broke their heads! Or, if they thought about it, they could not solve it.

The auxiliary cruiser may just give away the light cruiser, but he only had a few small cannons and was unprepared for destroyers with almost 0 armor. He was able to capture it. Like the Musketeer, when dense shells came from a few thousand meters away, the British were stunned! With several violent explosions, except for one destroyer who luckily dragged his disabled hull to escape, the remaining three destroyers were smashed into pieces in the confrontation with the auxiliary cruiser. So far, it was only a matter of time before the destruction of the British fleet was destroyed.

The Melbourne, which had been injured, then fired a gg. After using up its own cigarette tank, the Gneesenau gave the opponent a happy ending. Eight artillery fired in one round and hit 4 shells directly! The flames and shrapnel were like tsunami and directly smashed the side hull of Melbourne. One of the shells successfully penetrated the ammunition depot located at the waterline.

"The Melbourne was like being pushed out of the sea by a big hand. The entire warship was broken into two pieces under the action of its own gravity, and then fell back into the sea. The second half was very open and sank. The first half was still struggling on the water surface, and the bow raised high was full of unwillingness. The huge whirlpool generated when the warship sank pulled a large number of people falling into the water into the sea, so that among the three British cruisers in this naval battle, the number of people surviving this warship was the smallest." A captured British officer described the situation when the Melbourne sank.
