At 11: 47, the New Zealand patrol watchtower found that the Germans were coming from the southeast. By 11: 00, the German Ocean Fleet had finished the second round of shelling, and it rained down on the front of the big fleet, but the Royal Navy’s efforts were still unclear.

At this time, the First Battleship and the Fourth Patrol Fleet, which are located on the left side of the big fleet, tried to fight back with 14-inch guns and 12-inch guns. However, the German formation and the poor sight of the British First Battleship at the moment doomed their efforts to little success.
Since the British have spared no effort to make a long-distance attack into the British lair, there is no reason for the German navy to forget those old and new hatreds, and there is no reason not to let go and enjoy this wonderful moment!
The engagement distance between the two naval fleets has been continuously reduced, and several subsequent German sub-fleets have also joined the spectacular sea ensemble. The 35 mm main gun and the 2 mm main gun violently bombarded the British in the general direction.
At the same time, the German battlelines slowly lowered their speed and insisted on the process of "school shè shelling school Shè". After several rounds of shelling, the German battleship observation officers, gun staff and gunners cooperated with each other to get better and better, and the number of missed bullets and effective hits began to increase.
The speed of the real ocean fleet is not fast. Although the well-trained gunners of the ocean fleet can shoot shirtless, the British are stunned. However, they obviously don’t want to wave their strength and ammunition before they can really cross her.
At 12: 11, a valuable achievement appeared in the seventh detachment, the King-class No.3 ship, the border Governor, and a 35 mm hardened cap armor-piercing projectile accurately drilled into the gap between the P turret and the Q turret of the British unyielding battle cruiser, scraping the side and rear of the No.2 chimney and obliquely hitting the horizontal deck of the latter.
The steel hull of the unyielding ship suddenly shook. The standard displacement of this ship is 1742 tons. The battle cruiser special power cabin is laid with two layers, totaling 25 inches. The top horizontal deck is like a fragile piece of paper being torn awkwardly and violently by an armor-piercing projectile equipped with a blunt fuse.
Armor-piercing projectile didn’t enter the warship, and there was a violent explosion in the unyielding power cabin of the warhead.
The heavy armor-piercing department smashed a boiler, burning red shrapnel and flying to smash everything in the power cabin of the unyielding ship.
The chief engineer of the power cabin was swallowed up by the leaked hot boiler water if he didn’t close the small water pipe valve or reach the evacuation order.
The boiling water continued to be narrow and the power cabin in the hot and humid cave flowed wantonly, but the turbine soldiers escaped from the spewing out of the boiler, clutching their bloody bodies and desperately trying to escape the spread of the bilge partition towards the hatch. The boiling water soon chased them, and the turbine soldiers just let out a scream and fell down.
The power cabin of the ship "Unyielding" is filled with white Se water vapor that makes people breathe, and the pungent smell of human body burning and death is constantly oozing from the hole cut by the armor-piercing projectile, so that the patrol deck will soon be covered with a white haze, mixed with the smoke from the armor-piercing projectile explosion and the black Se soot cloud leaked from the exhaust pipe.
And the contact cabin of the ship’s unyielding ship leading to the second deck is full of engineers who are scattered and fleeing. Even if there are terrible cries behind them, even if the engine officers are screaming and closing the doors, the engineers are still afraid to stop.
So tons of boiler boiling water overflowed the power cabin and spread along the communication passage to send the heat wave to the depths of the hull.
Barely escaped from life, the engineers came to the second deck unkempt, clutching their scalded limbs and almost greedily wanted to take a breath of cool and fresh air. Their respiratory tract and lungs had been burned by the hot gas in the power cabin, and the engineers could hold the steel plate of the auxiliary cannon and cough violently until they coughed up a lot of blood.
It’s not that the engineers didn’t escape the lung burn, but they rushed to the medics. It seems that they have been limited to access. "Death pitied the engineers who were attacked by boiling water, and their bodies were bloody. Even if the doctor wrapped them in thick bandages to isolate the virus, they could not escape the wound infection afterwards.
The fire, smoke, and white Se water vapor in the patrol section of the indomitable war shrouded this old capital ship, and it was already a hell for people to see through the dense fog.
However, the disaster of the Royal Navy goes far beyond this, achieving the effect of an’ ideal cruiser’. Designers of the Royal Navy patrol the 172-meter-long forecastle, and 31 naval boilers were placed in four power cabins respectively. Due to the damage of the forecastle power cabin, the cruise speed of the unyielding warship dropped by three or four knots, which was even more frightening. Two minutes later, the patrol stopped at the dangerous North Sea due to overheating damage of the main shaft.
At this time, the second battleship continued to be chaotic and turned to the first battleship and the fourth patrol fleet in sequence. They had to put the speed very low and wait patiently for the second battleship to complete the battle line, the unyielding patrol, the fourth patrol fleet column formation, and the indomitable patrol, which was only about 500 meters away, had to take the left full rudder to perform a thrilling sea drift.
The unyielding was seriously injured about three minutes later, and the good news came again.
The bullet was hit by the battleship Singapore, the sixth unit of the British first battleship team. The original Argentine ordered the battleship Rivadavia from the United States, and the battleship Hong Kong of the British Empire appeared in public. The battle sequence of the big fleet was the credit of the British Navy Arthur King Balfour’s long-sleeved dance.
Argentinean Rivadavia class battleships can be described as pampas Prairie Pride. Whether the standard displacement is as high as 2,749 tons, or whether six pairs of 35mm main guns and 12 auxiliary guns are enough to make Argentina proud.
There is another background for Argentines to worship the Rivadavia class.
The first world war, the European war, is about to be upgraded, which is a blow to the reputation of British export ships. Before the war, the warships of Armstrong Shipyard were the best sellers. However, after the naval battle in Shazhou, Dogel, people began to have doubts about the quality of British goods. When the dust settled in the tragic Ritland naval battle and Portsmouth naval battle in 1915, a group of people bought British capital ships. Chapter 11 "Changing the history (1)" and the technology of British capital ships, the second and third-rate powers finally woke up like a dream.
All countries that order capital ships or buy technology from Britain have become’ fools pay more’ suckers, while German warships that have been tested in actual combat have instantly become synonymous with top naval weapons.
Argentina, one of the top three ABC companies in South America, mocked the Brazilians who had a long history of grudges. Although the Argentines failed to collect a German warship of a prestigious class for more than a year, compared with the black conscience, a good British businessman made great efforts to open the market for the American Rivadavian class battleship.
The American Rivadavian class battleship laid a 112-inch waterline with main armor, 9-inch gun mount and turret front armor, 12-inch armor, and even the non-important parts such as the bow, the stern and the chimney also had 46-inch armor, while the Brazilian ordered the Milas Giras class battleship from Britain at the same time, with 9-inch main armor and 9-inch gun mount armor. The Argentine mocked the Brazilian for many years.
Although the reputation of the British capital ship was discredited, it was a blessing in disguise that the devaluation of the British capital ship in a certain sense supported the repurchase and leasing of export ships after the naval battles of Ri Tran and Portsmouth.
Back to the topic, the myth of the Orkney Islands was shattered when the battleship Hong Kong was hit by a 3 mm hardened armor-piercing projectile thrown by the Bavarian.
At 11: 14, the battleship Bavaria, which is located at the forefront of the German battle line, fired at the British fleet 14 kilometers away. A 3 mm armor-piercing bullet grazed the thick main armor belt of the battleship Hong Kong and hit the slightly armored belt.
Part armor belt usually refers to the warship side, which can be subdivided into middle armor belt and layer armor belt from the waterline with the main armor to the horizontal deck protection area, and the top layer building of part armor belt will have a discontinuous and named gun profile armor belt, which is separated by the main gun base armor, the commander tower side armor and the auxiliary gun.
A 9-inch medium armor belt and an inch armor belt have been laid on the wooden backboard of the Rivadavian class battleship in the American shipyard. Even the artillery armor belt has a 6-inch medium armor belt. The layer behind the armor belt does not bear the protection of the world, and it is also the "sea soul of the great country". However, all this can still be regarded as a paper-based defense line in front of the 3 mm capped armor-piercing projectile.
The armor-piercing part of APC armor-piercing projectile with a weight of 75 kg tore open the armor belt of Hong Kong’s 9-inch part at a large angle, rubbed the bow of Hong Kong’s ship with a backpack arrangement, and drilled into the waterline belt to send shè medicine room.
Compared with the British armor-piercing projectiles, there are numerous examples. The German armor-piercing projectiles with blunt fuses are often not exploded.
Germany, the battleship Hong Kong, was once again hit by a hat-piercing projectile. Although the 3 mm armor-piercing projectile easily tore open the Hong Kong’s thick coat, it was only a short time before its armor-piercing warhead fell off the chain.
When the British naval officers and men came, they were not glad. Then there was a dazzling white light, followed by air billow and the deafening explosion of the water and ammunition depot of the battleship Hong Kong.
Although this armor-piercing warhead didn’t live up to expectations, the flying fragments of shells made the story narrow, and the medicine room was hot. The fragments of A turret, water and ammunition depot, and the lightning protection compartment at the bottom of the ship wiped out a series of sparks, which ignited the world’s mainstream naval powers. Only Americans also made nitrocellulose single-base send medicine.
Although the Royal Navy is not short of 12-inch artillery caps and armor-piercing projectiles, after all, the technology and specifications of British and American 12-inch artillery are different, so the British still carefully choose to make American-made artillery shells.
Compared with the British, the nitrocellulose single-base hair-hair-hair-hair-hair-hair-hair-hair-hair-hair-hair-hair-hair-hair-hair-hair-hair-hair-hair-hair-hair-hair-hair-hair-hair-hair-hair-hair-hair-hair-hair-hair-hair-hair-hair-hair-hair-hair-hair-hair-hair-hair
After all, the hot fragments and the sparks that were wiped out lit the ammunition depot and caused the ammunition depot to explode.
The hull of the battleship Hong Kong shook violently, and the armor on the side near the bow of a ship cracked in blocks. Only the protective structure and the lightning protection bulkhead were fragmented.
After the bow of the Hong Kong ship suddenly sank for a few seconds, it exploded even more, and the full displacement could reach 30,000 tons. The sea level of the Hong Kong battleship was light. ""There was a fire, air billow, smoke, broken ground and warships flying around from the bow position.
The Hong Kong ship’s seemingly solid three-legged main mast shook violently, and the watchtower soldiers fell like dumplings or smashed the deck into patties or fell off the sea without splashing a little spray.
In the buzzer of the battleship, the sailors and officers ran around the deck mindlessly trying to put out the fire at the bow of the ship, trying to put down the rescue boat and trying to rescue the trapped ship’s colleagues. The fire soon got out of control, and the crew department of the Hong Kong No.1 engine stopped talking with the Ministry of Industry, and the line was interrupted. The captain grabbed the microphone in vain to give an order to inject water into the water and ammunition road of the two turrets at the bow of the ship. After that, the B turret also burst.
The explosion of turret B’s water and ammunition depot completely tore up the steel hull of Hong Kong, which had been rocked and dropped, and was instantly torn to pieces by the huge pressure of the Ministry. The bow of the hull was separated, and the sea surged into the horizontal deck of Hong Kong in a blink of an eye.
The captain and officers of the Hong Kong lost their command, and the doors were blocked, and the commander, Taliu, was deformed. The officers and men of the hull were marked with death, but they remained on the deck and in the storey building, and the officers and men were not much better. They jumped into the warship like headless flies and swam away desperately.
The sinking speed of the battleship is sighing. After the bow of the Hong Kong ship sank, the main hull soon sank with it. When the two propellers standing on the ocean disappeared, a huge vortex in the North Sea ocean formed the wreckage of the Hong Kong ship, burning oil, crackling wood, floating bodies, trivial pieces of paper and the living people were all involved in the unfathomable Wang Yang.
In this way, the Hong Kong disappeared. The first capital ship sunk in the naval battle of the Orkney Islands disappeared completely. This gorgeous and sad sea where several ships and famous soldiers were buried was as complete as if it had never really appeared in the North Sea. The Germans had a battle as if it had never really gone to the ocean, bearing the hope of Britain to get out of Scarpa Bay.
The Hong Kong sank and the unyielding was seriously injured, while the British disaster was just beginning to be continued.
The second gun chapter 11 change history instantaneous (2)
(The chapter to apologize is about the collapse of Singapore, but I haven’t updated it for three days, so I’ve recorded it as the Hong Kong number, and I’m not going to correct it.)
"("The King of the North Atlantic "in the fifth quarter fell like a meteor)
Losing speed in a naval battle means death.
The German navy didn’t give the unyielding patrol a chance to die. Although the smoke covered the sky and made it difficult for the gunners of the ocean fleet to look at it, the officers and men of the German navy who had experienced several naval battles never lacked experience in dealing with this situation.
After several rounds of shelling and school she, four of the most inconspicuous first detachment in the ocean fleet array took sā-class battleships, and after a short fire across her, they were reduced to German gunners. The target ship unyielding patrol was killed by 2 mm main guns.
At 11: 02, the unyielding patrol disappeared completely. The loss of the main ship of the Royal Navy in the North Sea rose by two tons, and the tonnage was nearly 50,000 tons. More than 1,500 officers and men were killed.
Although there are heavy casualties, this figure is not unacceptable to the British. Everyone knows that the word horizontal head is terrible. Who knows that Heidi Selim’s powerful fleet has strong firepower but low protection? The slag cargo Se can be used by the Germans for nearly 2 minutes, and it is lucky to lose only two ships.
It’s a pity that the British didn’t make good use of this luck to reverse Gan Kun. You must know that in 1915, Jellicoe led the main fleet of the big fleet to complete the sea steering and array change in just over 20 minutes, but in 1917, it took nearly 20 minutes for the main fleet of Betty’s big fleet off the coast of Orkney Islands to turn the second battleship fleet.
At 12: 21, the second division of the British Second Battleship, four battleships towed the first detachment for a whole kilometer, and the first battleship formed a five-kilometer battle line and headed for the southwest at a high speed.
The fact that the British chose to move northwest is more conducive to their high-speed escape from the battlefield. Even though the German First Reconnaissance Group has a strong fighting capacity, the large fleet is severely asked for a piece of meat, and at the same time, the main force can be guaranteed at least, and four American battleships can be reinforced from the north. However, the commander tower of the battleship Revenge, including the flagship commander, has chosen to ignore this point.
Although the officers and men of the large fleet have been frightened by Heidi Selim and the iron cross navy flag flying high in the southeast, they can no longer remember that the semi-drunkenness in the sailors’ club was worthless before the naval battle, and they can’t remember that the battleship deck looked forward to victory before the naval battle, and they were bent on getting rid of the pursuit of the German navy God of War, but no one in the Royal Navy commander dared to reach this reasonable but unreasonable order.
The Royal Navy seems to have no choice but to fight to the death!
2rì The British imperialists will rebuild the 37 capital ships of the Royal Navy at the expense of their money, and set out to sea angrily to find traces of the German navy, determined to teach the mighty Germans a lesson in the North Sea.
The reality is that the Royal Navy lost control of the whereabouts of the German surprise fleet after the sea fog dissipated in the early morning of 21rì. Ten thousand people of the fast fleet were tossed back and forth in the North Sea like flies by Heidi Selim. It was even more terrible that the main fleet of the big fleet, the Orkney Islands, collided head-on with the main force of the German Admiralty offshore.
It’s a great humiliation for the Royal Navy to be repeatedly played by its sworn enemy Heidi Selim, especially when the main fleet of the big fleet is almost’ without firing a shot’, which makes the Royal Navy people particularly angry and difficult to ride a tiger. ""The Royal Navy has no capital to withdraw from Scarpa Bay. If you don’t want the news that the German surprise fleet shelled the soil again to appear in the headlines of major newspapers in London, if you don’t want the whole British island and the families of the officers and men killed in the two capital ships to poke their spines and curse, if you don’t want to let them. Self-achievement led to the complete destruction of the Royal Navy’s J Ι ng temperament level, and led the Royal Navy to entangle the Germans as much as possible to protect their own strength, and at the same time led the battlefield closer to Firth Bay and the southwest of the fast fleet, waiting for the moment when the fast fleet joined the battlefield.
