When the battleship "Nevada" began to sink, Lieutenant General Spee decisively issued an order to transfer the attack target. The target of the attack was transferred from the battleship 'Nevada' to the battleship 'Oklahoma'.
After all, the battleship 'Nevada' has begun to sink, and if it continues to shell, it will be a waste of shells. Each shell of a large-caliber heavy artillery is not cheap. Being able to save a little bit is a little bit. Besides, there are still so many enemy battleships that have not been sunk. If there are no shells in the end, it will be bad.
11 battlecruisers began to pour shells on the battleship 'Oklahoma'. Immediately, the battleship 'Oklahoma' realized what kind of situation the battleship 'Nevada' was in just now.
The dense large-caliber artillery shells, if they fall like raindrops, make the battleship "Oklahoma" like a small boat shrouded in a storm, which may capsize at any time. Although the battleship 'Oklahoma' and the battleship 'Nevada' are of the same class, the defense is also very strong. However, under such intensive firepower, it is still impossible to survive.
"Boom!"
A 380mm artillery shell hit the side of the battleship "Oklahoma". The shell just hit the waterline of the battleship. The thick armor cannot withstand 380mm shells. The shell tore through the armor and exploded, leaving a large **** at the waterline.
Damage control personnel desperately tried to plug the hole, but just as they plugged it, the battleship was hit again. The violent vibration caused the big hole that had just been repaired to crack open again. Sea water was poured into the battleship frantically.
"Boom! Boom!"
The shells kept hitting the battleship 'Oklahoma', causing the battleship to be continuously traumatized.
A 343mm artillery shell hit the conning tower of the battleship 'Oklahoma'. Because of the angle, the shell did not penetrate the armor of the conning tower. However, the officers in the command tower were stunned alive. This caused confusion in the command of the battleship.
A 305mm artillery shell hit the funnel of the battleship 'Oklahoma'. The tall chimney was blown off at once. The section of the chimney that fell destroyed a lot of the superstructure of the battleship.
"My God! The 'Oklahoma' was not saved either. Under such heavy firepower from the Germans, he could not have survived." After Lieutenant General Martin climbed aboard the battleship 'New York', he immediately looked at the To the 'Oklahoma' battleship tragedy.
Indeed, under the intensive firepower of 11 battlecruisers of the German Navy, the battleship "Oklahoma" absolutely had no possibility of escape. Large-caliber artillery shells kept falling around the battleship 'Oklahoma', and from time to time, shells hit the battleship 'Oklahoma', causing more and more trauma to the battleship's hull.
The deadliest shell was fired by the battleship Friedrich Karl. A 380mm artillery shell hit the No. 4 main turret on the rear deck of the battleship "Oklahoma". This is a triple-mounted 356mm main turret, armored for later generations. However, the angle of this shell was very tricky, hitting the place where the gun mount under the turret was connected to the deck. The shell penetrated the armor here, drilled down obliquely, and only after it penetrated the armor of the ammunition depot below did it explode.
More than a hundred 356mm shells in the ammunition depot were all detonated at this moment.
Only a loud roar was heard, and the stern of the battleship "Oklahoma" was shrouded in flames and gunpowder smoke. When the smoke cleared, the stern of the battleship 'Oklahoma' had disappeared, as if it had been gnawed off by a monster.
Sea water frantically poured into the battleship 'Oklahoma' from the stern of the ship. The damage control personnel are powerless to deal with such trauma, they can only watch helplessly as more and more seawater floods into the battleship.
Under such circumstances, the captain of the battleship "Oklahoma" issued an order to retreat. Lieutenant General Martin was noncommittal about this. After all, when the battleship is doomed to sink, finding ways to save more people's lives is the most important thing.
"God! What should we do now?" Lieutenant General Martin had lost his mind. The loss of two battleships in succession, or the two most powerful battleships in the fleet, is undoubtedly an extremely serious blow to the strength of the fleet. What's more terrible is that now there are only eight battleships left in the fleet, but they have to deal with 11 enemy battleships and 11 battlecruisers. This is obviously impossible for them.
At this moment, although the fleet led by Vice Admiral Martin has completed its turn. However, the situation did not improve much. The battle line formed by his fleet was in the pincer attack of the 2nd battle line of the German Navy and the battlecruiser formation.
With the German navy having an absolute advantage, it was only a matter of time before the fleet led by Lieutenant General Martin was completely eliminated.
The battlecruiser formation of the German Navy entered the battlefield, destroying the battleship 'Nevada' and the battleship 'Oklahoma' in a very short period of time. This was undoubtedly a great shock to the combined fleet. This undoubtedly means that from now on, the United Fleet is completely at a disadvantage.
"Damn, how did the German battlecruisers come so fast? Now, there are only nine battleships left by General Martin. And almost all of them are battleships with poor performance. Among the 11 German battleships and 11 Under the siege of two battlecruisers, there is no life at all. And here, the Germans have an absolute advantage. The current battle situation is very unfavorable to us!" Admiral John Jellicoe said .
David? Betty Lieutenant General nodded. Now, they only have 20 capital ships left. However, it had to deal with 34 German battleships. Moreover, in terms of the performance of these capital ships, they have no advantage at all. Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible for them to win.
"The general, the French and the Italians have sent a telegram, they have withdrawn from the battle line and started to retreat!" A staff officer reported O.
"What? The French and Italians ran away? Damn, how dare they retreat without our order? This is clearly an escape!" Admiral John Jellicoe was furious.
The escape of the French and Italians undoubtedly made the entire fleet worse.
