"Good job! God bless the British Empire!" Lieutenant General Martin cheered.


    Although, it was only a heavy damage to the battleship "Blücher" of the German Navy, not a sinking. But this is undoubtedly an excellent start for the British Navy. Lieutenant General Martin believes that as time goes by, their advantage will be greater and greater. The final victory will soon be achieved.


    This shell was fired from the battleship ''Ohoma''. The battleship was not attacked, allowing them to aim and fire calmly. Under such circumstances, the hit rate is naturally higher.


    The battleship "Blücher" was severely damaged, which made the officers and soldiers of the German Navy have a bad feeling in their hearts. However, even so, they still continued to fight.


    Major General Lübeck is already thinking about whether he needs to withdraw from the battle. After all, they arepletely at a disadvantage now. If the fight continues, it is very likely to cause even greater losses. Every battleship is the treasure of the German Navy. Losing any of them will make them feel distressed.


    Although running away in embarrassment would make Major General Lübeck feel a little ufortable. But now that the enemy is strong and we are weak, it is understandable to evacuate. You can''t just fight to the death for the so-called glory and cause huge losses in the end, right? In that case, it is truly unwise.


    However, at this time, the German Navy sessfully retaliated against the British fleet. The battlecruiser "Leopold", which was at the end of the battle line, hit the battleship "Wyoming" of the British fleet.


    The defense of the battleship ''Wyoming'' is not as abnormal as that of the ''Nevada-ss'' battleship. With a discement of only 27,000 tons, the battleship "Wyoming" is equipped with five dual-mounted 50-caliber 305mm main guns. At the same time, the maximum speed is also maintained at 21 knots. This makes the defense of the battleship "Wyoming" rtively weak.


    The waterline armor is only 279 mm, the turret armor is 305 mm, and the conning tower armor is 279 mm. Such armor thickness is undoubtedly rtively weak. Not even the "Blücher-ss" battlecruisers of the German Navy canpare.


    Of course, this is mainly because the "Wyoming ss" battleship belongs to the early construction of the US Navy. The performance in all aspects is not mature. Starting from the "Nevada-ss" battleships, the U.S. Navy has focused on defense and enhanced the survivability of warships in naval battles.


    During this salvo of the battleship ''Leopold'', a full two shells hit the battleship ''Wyoming''. A shell hit the front deck of the "Wyoming" battleship, directly sting a big hole in the deck. At the same time, it caused the internalpartment to burn. Another shell hit the conning tower of the battleship ''Wyoming''. The 279 mm thick armor was directly torn apart. The shell exploded inside the conning tower, killing all the officers including the captain.


    "Good job!" Admiral Lübeck couldn''t help apuding loudly. Nothing boosts your team''s morale more than hitting an enemy ship. After the battlecruiser "Leopold" hit the British battleship "Wyoming", the morale that had fallen, not only stopped the downward trend, but also began to rise.


    "General, the defense of the enemy''s ''Wyoming-ss'' battleships and even the ''New York-ss'' battleships is obviously much worse than that of the ''Nevada-ss'' battleships. We canpletely let the ''Nevada-ss'' battleships go and focus on the ''Nevada-ss'' battleships." New York ss'' and ''Wyoming ss''. In this way, it will be easier to sink the enemy''s warship." A staff officer suggested.


    Admiral Lübeck was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Very good, this is undoubtedly a good idea. Redistribute the strike targets. The ''Leopold'' attacked the ''Arkansas''. The ''Von der Tann'' Attack the USS ''Wyoming''. The USS ''Blücher'' attacks the USS ''Texas''. After solving these weaker battleships, we will deal with the British ''Nevada-ss''."


    In this case, it is equivalent to hitting the firepower on the three battleships behind the battle line against the US military. Of course, this method greatly increased the possibility of the German army sinking the battleships of the British fleet. But at the same time, because of the serious disadvantage in numbers, the "Nevada", "Ohoma" and "New York" of the British fleet can open fire on the warships of the German Navy without interference.


    Unless the German fleet can severely damage or sink the "Arkansas", "Wyoming" and "Texas" in the shortest possible time, otherwise, the situation will only be more and more unfavorable to the German fleet.


    After seeing that the German fleet changed its bombardment target, the corners of Lieutenant General Martin''s mouth turned up slightly.


    "Huh! Do the Germans want to deal with the weaker battleships first? They are too whimsical! Order the ''Ohoma'' and ''New York'' to besiege the German ''Blücher'' with us Sink it!" Lieutenant General Martin ordered.


    In this case, with the addition of the battleship "Texas", the British fleet concentrated four battleships to besiege the battleship "Blücher". Moreover, the firepower of these four battleships is very, er, powerful, and they are all powerful battleships equipped with ten 356mm main guns. It is equivalent to forty 356mm main guns besieging the battleship "Blücher" every time. This greatly increased the possibility of the battleship ''Blücher'' being sunk.


    "Boom! Boom! Boom!"


    Shells continued to fall around the battlecruiser "Blücher". Although they were not hit, the water jets sshed high from the sea put great psychological pressure on the officers and soldiers on the battleship.


    Everyone knows it''s only a matter of time before they get hit. Even if their defense is not weak, it is really difficult to defend against the shells of the 356mm main gun.


    Major General Lübeck said nothing, but he was actually betting. If they can preemptively severely damage the three battleships behind the battle line of the British fleet. Then, they still have a chance to turn defeat into victory. As if they were hit, severely wounded or even sunk. Then, it will be difficult for them to win this naval battle. However, Major General Lübeck also knows that it is very difficult to win, and the chances are very small.


    "Damn the British, when our main fleet arrives, you will have a better time!" Major General Lübeck swore secretly in his heart.
