During the 8th round of full-scattered fire, Hessen first hit! Two 15-inch shells hit Moore's flagship like heavy hammers! The first artillery shell was inserted from the No. 2 turret. After the improved hardness, it was easily tore open the two layers of thin steel plates with a thickness of about 1 inch on the top of the Queen, and finally smashed the dome armor that was more than 2 inches thick and the back plate behind it to pieces!

The roaring motor under the deck was smashed into pieces by shells falling from the sky. A huge fireball wrapped in countless pieces and broke through the fragile steel plates and flew into the air! The entire battleship seemed to be trembling and shaking in this attack. Another shell directly slapped the front armor belt of the Queen Elizabeth-class battleship, and then easily tore open a large hole of several square meters!

The Mecklenburg behind was also doing well. A shell directly blew half of the chimney of the Barrym into pieces, and thick smoke like ink poured back into the power compartment, extinguishing at least two boilers. The Malaya and the Reputation, located in the middle of the British fleet, saved some face for the Royal Navy. The Malaya successfully hit the Prince's flagship Bavaria, and pierced through a secondary gun turret, smashing a 150mm secondary gun and a gun group. The Reputation shot the No. 4 turret of the Baden battleship. The turret armor belt was fine, but a main gun barrel was cut off...

At present, the most hits are the Battleship Warfare ships that were fired by von der Tin and Cedritz at the same time. Although von der Tin's 9 12-inch cannons pose little threat to the Queen, Cedritz's 8 350mm cannons penetrated deep under this distance. However, the fire rate of the two battleships can reach the level of three shots per minute! There are 17 main guns in total, three times a minute! How terrifying is this TM! Even if they are all solid iron lumps, 20 tons of steel will theoretically be smashed in one minute!

So, after the War War was hit in the 8th minute, one round of shells continued to land on the British most powerful battleship.

"In less than 5 minutes, I observed at least 8 hits on the poor warship! The No. 1 turret on the bow should have been destroyed. I could clearly see the thick smoke rolling out. The armored belt of the gallery seemed to have been hit twice, and the smoke and flames had covered the entire gallery. The British turret No. 3 should have problems. I can be sure that a shell hit the lower part of the No. 3 turret, which should have destroyed the ammunition lifting equipment or the turret rotation equipment inside." The Sedritz's gunman wrote in his diary excitedly.

"Perhaps, we will be the first battleship to obtain a battleship kill record in this battle." The captain of the Seedritz said confidently as he looked at the dilapidated War Warfare in the telescope.

However, a loud noise more than ten seconds later broke the captain's dream. The battlecruiser of the USS Australia, located at the end of the British fleet, suddenly came from the middle of the hull, and a fire dragon nearly 100 meters high soared into the sky. In just a dozen seconds, a large amount of flames and smoke gushed out from the hull, like an active volcano that was erupting. The battleship tilted rapidly and quickly left the fleet.

Like a hyena whose backbone was broken, the British battlecruiser struggled wildly on the sea. However, the continuous explosions still sounded the final death knell of the warship! After about less than a minute, a violent explosion rang throughout the battlefield. The second half of the warship was lifted out of the water by a huge force, and the first half of the hull was broken due to gravity! Accompanied by bursts of tearing that almost challenged the limits of human hearing, the head of the hull that broke into two fell directly into the sea, and the second half was directly shot into several sections when it fell back to the water!

Just now, a shell of the Weimar battleship fell into the water less than 50 meters away from Australia. After the shells entered the water continued to move forward like a torpedo after taking off the hood. As the depth continued to increase, an elegant and deadly parabola was drawn under the sea! In the end, the shell hit the hull plate 6 meters underwater in the middle and rear of the Australian hull. No main armor belt of any warship could extend to six meters underwater! And the TDS steel plate of Australia with a thickness of only 30mm naturally could not stop a 350mm armor-piercing projectile! By no surprise, the shell penetrated into the ammunition depot located at the bottom of the No. 3 turret, and then accompanied by a flash. The fate of the Australian was locked!

There was no time to close the compartment or fill the water. In less than a minute, the warship was torn to pieces and sank into the sea with more than 800 fresh lives, becoming another sacrifice to be sent to the altar of war!

"Who is the battle sinking? Is it our queen or the battle cruiser?" Major General Moore said in panic when he saw the thick smoke covering the sky in the distance and the water columns that rushed up. "When I heard this loud noise, I seemed to hear the bell of the end of everything!" Afterwards, the major general was still very scared when he mentioned this matter, and he couldn't help but be afraid. As a person who experienced the Battle of Thunderbolt and saw with his own eyes the elite battleships and battle cruisers of the British Empire were destroyed several times by the German fleet's artillery fire, Major General Moore was instinctively afraid of the German fleet. Especially the group of Bavarians, this was not timid, but forced by the situation!

Now, just 12 minutes after the war started, the first battleship had been struck into pieces by the other party. It was impossible to say that it was not afraid! Then Major General Moore looked at the wall clock hanging on the wall with concern. At this moment, the hour and minute hands on the wall clock seemed so hideous and terrifying to him! It was like a death rope.

"Hold on for half an hour? After half an hour, I'm afraid Jericho can collect his body!" Major General Moore shook his head and said. "The fleet released the smoke screen, and the light cruiser team attacked. We need to avoid the edge for a while." In the end, Major General Moore issued the most controversial order in this battle! He openly disobeyed Jericho's order and asked the fleet to turn right half of Luo Jingdian, and opened the distance with the German fleet!

"Damn coward, if he had half of Betty's bravery, then we could end the war today!" Lieutenant General Charles Maden said angrily as he looked at the telegram sent by Major General Moore.
