“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The guns roared, and one shell after another smashed into the opponent’s warship.
The shells smashed into the sea, splashing high jets of water, as if the sea was boiling.
The killing of the Mediterranean Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Empire and the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Navy continues.
Although, the sun never sets and the Royal Navy of the Empire claims to be the hegemon at sea. But at the moment, they are at a complete disadvantage.
One battleship after another was shot, igniting a raging fire. Even, quite a few warships have been sunk. There are still many sailors who have fallen into the water waiting for rescue. It’s just that now is the crunch of the big war, and no one pays attention to them at all. If they can hold out until the end of the fight, they may be rescued.
“Boom! Boom!”
The Orion-class battleship “777”, as the lead ship of the Orion-class battleships, can be called the first super dreadnought ship of the Royal Navy, carrying the Royal Navy’s dream of continuing to dominate the world’s oceans.
But it is a pity that the current battleship Orion, although still insisting on fighting.
But under the siege of the battlecruiser Navarino of the Russians, the battleship Fyodor III and the battleship Ivan V, the battleship was already badly damaged. How much time it will last, perhaps only God knows.
In particular, the 356-mm shells of the battlecruiser Navarino inflicted great damage on the battleship Orion.
The battleship Ravage, the flagship of the Royal Navy’s Mediterranean Fleet, had been working hard to open fire in an attempt to take out the battleship Peter II, the flagship of the Russians.
But alas, although several hits were made, it was not able to seriously damage the battleship Peter II.
On the contrary, the 410-mm shells of the battleship Peter II caused the ravaged battleship not lightly damaged. If this continues, I am afraid that it will soon be hit hard.
Admiral Roger Keyes’ face was livid, and now he seemed to be watching the Royal Navy’s Mediterranean Fleet lose in this battle.
“Your Excellency Commander, the battleship Orion requests to abandon ship. They had already suffered heavy damage, and the battleship had flooded too much water to hold on. Lieutenant General Field reported.
“No, tell them that they must hold out until the end!” Admiral Roger Case did not think about it, and directly refused the request of the battleship Orion to abandon ship.
If the battleship Orion abandons ship. Well, the Russians will have three battleships to free their hands. This would be fatal for the Royal Navy. They will all be killed soon.
Lieutenant General Field opened his mouth, but in the end did not say much.
He knew very well that the captain of the battleship Orion wanted to abandon the ship in order to save the lives of the sailors on the ship as much as possible. If it’s a little late, I’m afraid it’s too late.
But for the sake of the entire war situation, abandoning ships now is undoubtedly very inappropriate.
The request to abandon ship from the battleship Orion was denied, which forced them to continue fighting. Otherwise, if you disobey the order, even if you survive, you will be court-martialed.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The battlecruisers Navarino of the Russian Navy, the battleships Fyodor III and the battleships Ivan V seized this opportunity and opened fire on the Orion.
One after another, 356mm shells and 305mm shells bombarded the already dilapidated battleship.
It didn’t take long for the battleship Orion to sink into the sea because of its heavy injuries.
This was the fourth capital ship lost by the Royal Navy’s Mediterranean Fleet in this battle.
The remaining eight capital ships are also struggling to support.
But the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for them. How long they will be able to hold out, perhaps only God knows.
The sinking of the battleship Orion made the advantage of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Navy even more obvious.
The three ships that sank the battleship Orion joined the siege of the battleship Ajax. This left the battleship Ajax under siege by two Izmail-class battlecruisers and two Mikhail-I battleships. (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!)
So that the battleship Ajax, which was completely suppressed, could no longer carry 0..
Just after two thirty in the afternoon, the battlecruiser Tiger was sunk.
The 380-mm shells fired from the battleship Count Spee dealt a fatal blow to the battlecruiser. The heavy wounds erupted so badly that the battlecruiser Tiger could no longer carry it.
Immediately after, the battleship Audacity was also sunk. The battleship Daring, which was also under siege, although it held out for a while longer. But in the end, it was impossible to continue.
Not much time later, the battleship Ajax was also sunk.
In the face of the siege of four capital ships, the fate of the battleship Ajax has long been predetermined.
Three capital ships were sunk in succession, which undoubtedly dealt a fatal blow to the Mediterranean Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Empire.
Now the Royal Navy’s Mediterranean Fleet, only five battleships remain to continue fighting, namely the battleship Ravage, the battleship Vengeance, the battleship Determination, the battleship Ramiris and the battleship Ayr Blue.
Moreover, the remaining five battleships were almost all wounded.
In the fierce naval battle, they have been suppressed.
On the other hand, the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Navy, although many warships were also hit and injured. However, most of the combat effectiveness 1.9 still exists. Even the most badly damaged battleship Fyodor III had two main turrets to continue firing.
In such a situation, the remaining five battleships of the Mediterranean Fleet of the Royal Navy faced a siege by 13 capital ships of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Navy.
What kind of results will be in the end, it is natural to imagine.
It can be said that by this time, the Royal Navy’s Mediterranean Fleet was no longer able to return to heaven.
In the face of the Russians, who have the advantage, it is almost impossible for them to turn the tide again.
It is even difficult to escape.
After all, these battleships of the Royal Navy are not fast. And on the side of the Russians, several faster battle cruisers existed.
In this battle, the Royal Navy will undoubtedly lose again.
