The sea water roared and roared, rushing around the warship like a mountain torrent; in just a few minutes, the Dabang was poured into more than a thousand tons of sea water, and was still rolling towards other cabins with an unstoppable trend. The extremely poor underwater defense structure of the British battleship was exposed at this moment; although the sporadic water pumps were still working hard, it was undoubtedly a drop in the bucket compared to the overall water inlet speed of the warship.

In a towering water column and surging flames, the 23,000 tons of giant ship began to tilt slowly but irreversibly towards the port side. The sea water flowed into the ship was increasing, from its initial ankles to the shoulders of the British soldiers' soldiers, forcing them to evacuate one cabin after another. The shells kept hitting the body of the Daring steel ship, bursting out a bunch of shining fire waves. The British sailors began to jump down like dumplings in the sea, and then swam desperately in the direction away from the warship; although their hearts were full of unwillingness and grief, the current situation could no longer be compensated by human factors!

The artillery fire roared, and the light waves rushed and thunder exploded. This mythical battle has lasted for nearly thirty minutes. Compared with the peak state at the beginning, the firepower of the warships on both sides suffered a certain degree of loss in the fierce battle, and the spectacular scene produced by the light of the muzzle was not as good as before. However, it is from this moment that the real decisive results can be gradually revealed. This is not only that the shells hit at this time will become the last straw that crushes these already injured warships, but also that the firepower delivery base that has been accumulated before will greatly increase the probability of some key hits. In another plane, the Bismarck exploded Hood's character in just a few minutes, which is almost unreplicable in actual combat; in most cases, the main ships need to conduct a long period of early fire exchange to truly gain the key victory and defeat.

In the middle and rear of the Dreadnought. The German battleship, with a standard displacement of 17,000 tons, is fighting fiercely with the British Avant-garde, which has a permanent displacement of 19,560 tons. From time to time, a blazing flames exploded on the two battleships, and aroused a booming pillar of fire dozens of meters high in the thunderous sound. The 8 305mm L50 guns on the British battleship are powerful, and each shot hits like a thunderous landslide; while the 10 283mm L47 guns of the German battleship are beaten by the rate of fire, and the rapid sweep of the deck of the 150mm secondary gun also beat the opponent to flare up, and the number of casualties has risen sharply. Although the mainstream of historical development is undoubtedly the king of large-caliber, in this specific period, the German battleship with smaller main gun caliber has gradually gained the upper hand in the scene over time.

"Boom! Boom!" The waves burst. The waves swayed, and the Forward was hit by two 283mm shells in a row. The first shot hit the waterline of the British battleship. The main armor of the 254mm thick belt finally played a role, bounced the shell into the sea and exploded. The fragments near the missing shell only caused minor injuries to a few sailors. However, the next round of shells did not have such luck. The shells penetrated straight into the front bridge without any protection. The eight 102mm secondary guns arranged in a field shape were immediately devastating. Nearly forty gunners were killed instantly. The secondary gun ammunition piled next to them was also detonated.

Accompanied by a series of dense and continuous explosions, a brilliant cloud fire suddenly lit up on the bow of the Forward Ship, several times more brilliant than the explosion of the 283mm shell; its entire front bridge exploded, and various fragments shot into the sky. In the surging fire and thick smoke, the front chimney of the warship burst and shattered, and the tall triangular masts standing on the bridge also collapsed like a sawn tree; the commander tower, navigation room, and central fire control room all suffered devastating blows, and less than ten officers and soldiers were successfully rescued by the damaged team members from the ruins of the fire sea! The highest-ranking navigator on the Forward Ship was considered whether to launch a smoke screen when retreating under the current fire control and command loss. The Germans then shells directly destroyed all the life of the Forward Ship.

The Avant-garde is the third ship of the St. Vincent class, and its five dual-mounted main guns are arranged in the same manner as the Defender, the founding ancestor; however, in order to save armor and reduce expenses, the protection of important parts of this class of battleships is not as strong as that of the Defender. St. Vincent not only cuts the main armor from 280 mm to 254 mm, but also drops the turret race from 280 mm to 229 mm; when the British Admiralty happily enjoys its construction cost of 180,000 pounds cheaper than the Defender, its fatal roots were planted at that moment.

At this time, a 283mm shell pierced through the gun mount armor on its port side at a rare direct shooting angle, and made a shocking explosion. The fierce battle before had already caused the British sailors who were desperate to pour out more shells to the other side. The explosion-proof door connecting the ammunition depot was completely opened, and the explosion fire waves could penetrate into the bottom bottom in an instant. After a while, the port side hull of the Forward Port suddenly exploded like a blown balloon. The purple and red waves like volcanic lava mixed with a large number of debris danced erratic. The main turret of more than 500 tons above the explosion point was thrown into the air 50 meters high like a toy. The entire warship quickly tilted to the left. In less than five minutes, it completely disappeared on the sea surface!

Fragments crackled and fell into the sea, splashed with water; broken wood rose and floated, and oil traces were dotted. Several British sailors who escaped by chance looked at the surging vortex not far behind them, and forgot about the scene of their still soaking in the sea. Until the big waves stirred by the strong wind rolled up, they were a little awake as if they were being shaken by a blow, and began to parade in the sea and waved desperately to their destroyers. However, just as they were fighting with the waves and were frightened and indignant, a surging light burst out from the British ships, which made them unable to open their eyes!

At 14:07, the German 350mm naval gun, which has the most powerful deep-piercing ability on the planet, finally roared and roared after the 35th minute of the confrontation. A 600kg armor-piercing bullet fired from the Sal roared and thundered, and roared into the side waterline of the British Magnificent battleship. Since six ships were built in the UK, George V and Berlerofen, the current British third battleship fleet was Trafalgar.

The two George V-class ships of the Royal Ark and the magnificent, the two Bellevon-class ships of the Nile River, were composed of two slightly weak dreadnoughts attacked the German Caesar-class battleship Sal. The bombardment of 16 305mm naval guns certainly caused the fighting alone to be shot and the trauma continued to accumulate; however, in front of the heavy artillery of the German super dreadnought, which looked like a peerless gun, these two British dreadnoughts had no immune zone at all!

At a distance of 10km, the 350mm hard armor-piercing projectile effortlessly tore open its 254mm thick main armor, and pierced through the coal seam and thin dome armor protection all the way, flying directly into the ammunition depot at the stern of the ship. The power of hundreds of large-caliber shells instantly tore the surrounding ship wall cabins, and detonated the main ammunition depot in the front of the ship in a very short time. This expensive firework, cost 1.6 million pounds and weighs 18,800 tons, is absolutely extraordinary when it blooms: the blazing light of gold, purple, orange and red flashes brilliantly, and tens of thousands of debris are flying in the air. The hurricane is howling, the air waves are rushing, and the earth-shaking roar is then resounding, just like the world-destroying thunder in Zeus's hand explodes in his ears!

The heat waves were surging, and the sea of ​​fire was in full swing. On the 22,000-ton Monarch battleship, Claire, a first-class sailor, was fighting fiercely with the flame demon in a ruined wall; several incomplete flesh and blood limbs were lying on his feet, and the strong smoke and bloody smell made him suffocate and vomit. Although the explosion of the Magnificent made every British sailor shocked and angry, the current severe situation facing the fleet was not at all distracted. In the shooting with the German Helgolan-class battleship Oldenburg, the Conqueror was rarely at a disadvantage, but took the lead with the advantage of gun caliber. In the face of the large fleet, they needed to eliminate the enemy in front of them as soon as possible, and then rescue the friendly ships from water and fire.

"Boom!" Claire, who was carrying out fire extinguishing operations on the deck, suddenly heard a dizzy buzzing sound in his mind. This was the earth-shaking muzzle storm caused by his own battleship when he used 10 thick and majestic 343mm heavy artillery to fire in full swing. He held the rubber pipes of the water dragon's shooting in both hands, but his eyes turned to the distant battlefield where the artillery fire was dancing, and the bomb hit of the ship was searching for the enemy's bomb hit. After a while, a magnificent towering water column rose up with a bang; a bright and dazzling explosion light burst out on the target German ship, and the hit point seemed to be at the seat of its turret! "The Germans are finished now." Claire screamed excitedly, then waited with anticipation to appreciate a spectacular and unprecedentedly brilliant fireworks.

However, after twenty seconds in a row, the target German warship still had no movement. Except for the triple-mounted turret that was hit, the other cannons still rush out the red light waves that were clearly visible 10km apart. Claire felt a huge depression and loss in his heart. The strong gap between expectations and reality made his chest and lungs stagnate. After a while, the hull suddenly shook with a sharp roar, and the huge explosion immediately rushed; just as Claire thought that this was another ordinary hit, a violent tremor that was ten times the previous one, but suddenly came from the deck of the soles of his feet!
