"****!" Rear Admiral Carroll yelled at the sight of the 'Audacious' being hit.

Fortunately, the 'Boldness' reported later that it was not hit critically, which made Carol heave a sigh of relief. If a battleship is lost just at the beginning of the battle, the battle will not be fought at all.

"Damn the Germans, their battlecruisers are indeed very powerful!" Although it was just a fight, Rear Admiral Carroll has already seen the strength of the German navy, and it is indeed not to be underestimated. But the more this is the case, the more the British navy must defeat the German navy. Only in this way can the sea power of the British Empire be maintained.

"Very well, guys, it was just a little bit. We were almost able to severely damage a British battleship." On the battlecruiser "Blücher", Lieutenant General Hipper encouraged the gunners. Although, the shot just now did not seriously damage the battleship 'Bold', which is a bit of a pity. But Lieutenant General Hipper believes that as long as the first hit is made, more hits will be made in the future.

"The whole ship focuses fire!" The captain of the "Blücher" gave the order to focus fire.

Although, the battlecruiser 'Blücher' did not straddle the 'Bold'. But being able to hit the 'Boldness' just now shows that there is no problem with their shooting Zhu Yuan.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The three triple-mounted 50-caliber 305mm main guns of the battlecruiser "Blücher" began to fire violently. Every salvo will fire nine shells, greatly increasing the hit rate.

Maybe it was because of the poor luck of the British, or the "Audacity" was too unlucky. After the battlecruiser "Blücher" scored a hit, the battlecruiser "Sedlitz" also hit the "Bold".

During the test firing, a 343mm artillery shell hit the fortress of the "Audacious". The deck armor couldn't resist such heavy shells at all, and was easily pierced.

The shell exploded inside the ship, blowing up several cabins inside and causing a raging fire at the same time.

Although it did not hit the vital position of the "Audacity", the sailors of the "Audacity" could only control the damage as much as possible in order to avoid further losses.

Being hit twice in a row, the morale of the sailors on the battleship 'Audacious' fell to the bottom. Although their shelling continued, their aim was getting lower and lower. At the same time, the time required to shoot once is getting longer and longer.

This is undoubtedly very beneficial to the German Navy. Once the battleship 'Bold' is sunk, they can readjust the target of the attack and use six battlecruisers to besiege the remaining three battleships of the British Navy. In this case, the chances of winning quickly are even greater.

Rear Admiral Carroll also noticed the problem with the Bold, and couldn't help frowning.

"The guys on the 'Audacity', what are they doing? Didn't they just get hit by the Germans twice? They didn't get sunk, so there's nothing to be discouraged about. Let them give me courage and keep fighting. This A naval battle has just begun." Major General Carroll ordered.

"Yes, General." The communications officer hurried to send a telegram.

However, the performance of the battleship 'Bold' still hasn't improved much. In this naval battle, they seemed to be playing the role of soy sauce until they were finally sunk by the German Navy.

At 10:43, the battlecruiser "Leopold" of the German Navy straddled the battleship "Ajax" of the British Navy. Afterwards, the whole ship switched to concentrated fire shooting. The situation has become even more unfavorable to the British Navy.

At 10:52, the "Centurion" of the British Navy was full of luck. In this round of test firing, a straddle shot was formed. Subsequently, the 'Centurion' began to focus fire.

However, only two minutes later, the battlecruiser "Goeben" fought back and also formed a straddle shot. The two warships began to shoot at each other with maximum firepower. As for who can get the hit first, it may depend on God's will.

"Damn! How could this happen?" Major General Carol seemed somewhat unacceptable to such a result. The battle has just begun, but they are already completely suppressed by the German navy. This was absolutely unexpected for him. Although they have two fewer warships than the German Navy, he believes that the excellent quality of the officers and soldiers of the Royal Navy can fully make up for the disadvantage in numbers.

When Major General Carroll was distressed by the current situation, good luck always came to the general inadvertently. It was as if God had suddenly favored them.

"Boom! Boom!"

Two explosions sounded in succession, and two huge fireballs rose from the battleship 'Moltke', the flagship of the German fleet.

In this round of test firing of the "King George V" battleship, he actually scored two hits at once. This is undoubtedly a burst of luck!

A hit point was located on the side of the "Moltke" battlecruiser. In the middle of the hull, a large hole was blown out, and a bunch of secondary battery shells were detonated, igniting a fire.

The sailors of the battlecruiser 'Moltke' immediately began to carry out loss control.

Another hit point was the main turret at the stern of the ship. However, sadly, although it hit the main turret, it failed to penetrate it, and the shell exploded outside. The scattered shrapnel killed the sailors on the deck, and at the same time, the huge power of the explosion also shocked the German sailors in the turret to death. But such injuries are nothing to a huge battlecruiser.

"Report the loss!" Lieutenant General Spey roared.

"General, the side was hit, and there is no major problem. The No. 3 main turret was hit, but it was not penetrated. The gunner needs to be replaced." The staff officer quickly reported.

Lieutenant General Spei breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

"Order all units to conduct loss control immediately. No. 3 main turret, continue to fire in the shortest possible time." Lieutenant General Spee ordered.

"Yes, General."

"Long live! Long live the British Empire!"

On the battleship 'King George V', the officers and soldiers of the British navy have already cheered.

"God bless us, sink the **** Germans."

Major General Carroll also had a smile on his face. However, when the gunpowder smoke cleared and the battlecruiser 'Moltke' was almost intact, the expression on his face became stiff all of a sudden.
