The emperor did not test the patience of the sailors on both sides too much. At 847 points, Na fired the first shot of the battle. The ship used 6 381mm cannons from the two main turrets of A and B at a distance of about 24,000 yards to the former main gun group of William III. The team's flagship George III also roared, and a string of 356mm shells roared towards the German battleship far away 23,400.

At 849, observers on the British warship saw a huge orange fireball rising on the former main gun group of William III. After a while, four huge water columns rose about 200 yards from Nelson, which marked the beginning of the Germans' counterattack.

In this way, within 3 minutes, 20 battleships began to bombard the artillery fire of British battleships almost submerged the German ships. Due to their speed and course, the German ships could only passively receive these gifts, although they did not like these gifts at all. In the past, German ships could avoid most of them by maneuvering, but now they can only rely on thick armor.

In the commander tower of William III, the atmosphere was despair. Ludsman was still standing straight, but his eyes were filled with panic. No one knew when the warship would be sunk, nor did he know if he had a chance to escape. More importantly, Ludsman suddenly realized: "Maybe, this is the end of the battleship!"

Clayderman was also pale, but he was more angry. At the critical moment of life and death, the captain could no longer suppress his anger:

"Hiss Commander. I really hope that we do not have such an emperor!"

If Ludsmann was usually furious, to show his loyalty to the emperor, but now he just nodded lightly and let his subordinates vent their dissatisfaction with the emperor:

"If we can get cover from the Air Force, if we can gather all the giant ships, if we can get help from submarines, if we can get help from even an old battleship, we won't be like this! But what have we got? There are only two most elite battleships. But we have to compete with all the British navy and air force, which is not what we can do!"

The roar of planes came from afar, but these sounds were quickly submerged in the terrifying artillery fire of British battleships, but this could not really make these sounds disappear. British battleships thought these were their own planes.

Because from the style, it looks very similar to the country's heavy bombers, so the planes are relaxed to pass through. Another reason why the British were so relaxed was that the German bomber formation had already carried out a large bombing last night, and the losses were also heavy, so it was impossible for another large air strike.

The British guessed it well. These aircraft were indeed not German, but not British, but Chinese! For some reason, after January 1917, China had a significant increase in aircraft flying to Poland, while the return aircraft decreased significantly, resulting in a sharp increase in aircraft remaining in Germany, especially large bombers. These aircraft reached the highest peak of -750. This is almost 20% of China's heavy bombers. Now, after obtaining the approval of Berlin, these aircraft flew over a long distance. With the help of the positioning of German submarines, they finally arrived at the scene of the battle.

The Grizzly Panda bomber is the most advanced aircraft in China and even the world. This time, in order to sink British battleships, the bombs used were also specially made. If you contact one thing, you can tell what kind of tricks the emperor in China did in secret. When these bombers flew past Russia, they did not throw any bombs, but flew to Poland with a full load. This was more like a transition, not an air strike.

The bombs carried by the Grizzly Panda this time weighed 1.5 tons. Because they were too heavy, they carried 8, which was more than ten times higher. However, in the end, I would like to thank the British for their carelessness. In the words of Meng Jiehong, the commander-in-chief of this air strike:

"This is a group of naked women, which makes me hurt..." The following words were deleted because of indecentness, and basically what they mean.

In the distant China, Chinese Emperor Zhao Gang spoke his heart with a solemn look:

"I can only help you like this, I don't know if it's enough?"

Next, Zhao Gang said what he really wanted to say:

"If you and those British battleship formations sink to the bottom of the sea, that's the perfect ending!"

As a result, the British battleship formation suffered another serious loss when it was caught off guard. Seven of the 19 battleships were sunk by the Duke of York, Anson, Hao, War War, Gangyong, Malaya, Rodney, and 9 were injured to varying degrees Orion, Monarch, Conqueror, Thor, Furious, and Emperor

No., No. monarch, Determination, only Nelson and Joe escaped the disaster, and the Germans seemed to see another hope, as long as the Chinese Air Force stepped up its efforts!

However, at this time, the Chinese Air Force had consumed all its ammunition. If there were Chinese warships below, dozens or hundreds of aircraft might carry out suicide attacks to save the warship. But I'm sorry, the Chinese Air Force would not do such a noble thing.

In William III, Clayderman and Ludsman were watching the smoke-filled sea. Although they could not see anything, these two veterans who had been long-standing naval warfare could even judge based on their own experience what kind of damage the warship had suffered.

"The Duke of York should have been caught in a bomb and then detonated the ammunition depot of the former main gun. So the British did not have a few decent battleships, right?"

Ludsman shouted excitedly, the feeling of survival in a desperate situation made him lose his normal state. Clayderman nodded and said to his boss:

"That's right. The British now have only four more advanced battleships, Nelson and George III. Rodney. The others are all old ships and they cannot produce much lethality to us at all."

Ludsman nodded: "That's right. What if we don't mention these old ships and we will fight against these four British warships alone?"

Clayderman's face turned pale again, and he raised his head to look at his boss: "Sorry, Commander, we cannot win. To be honest, we can't even beat a new British battleship. We are a fixed target now, and the British ship is an activity target, and can also travel freely to our design blind spots."

"If the air raid forces cannot eliminate all the new British battleships, then we will be defeated in the end."

At this time, the roar in the sky began to weaken, and the Chinese Air Force began to retreat. The last glimmer of hope of the German giant ship also disappeared like this, and the terrified British battleship formation began to lean over sparsely, preparing to bury the German giant ship.

Because the fire exchange distance is very long and the ships on both sides are traveling in a different direction, the distance is quickly shortened, which has brought some trouble to observation and fire control work. The shells take more than half a minute to fly over a distance of about 23,000, and the gun officers can correct the ballistic after observing the bullet point, so the firing frequency of both sides is relatively slow. However, due to the good visibility, the distance measurement work of the fire control personnel on both sides is relatively successful overall.

At the beginning, the British fire control personnel seemed to have overestimated the speed of William III. Nelson's first two rounds of artillery bombings fell into the sea, and the distance between the German ship was very large. William III's former main gun group fired 3 of the four shells in the second salvo, and leaped past Britain, but the last shell hit Nelson very accurately!

The deck of the Nelson was smashed, and the shell fell straight below the deck, but it did not explode, causing only a small fire, but the fire was immediately extinguished. The four main guns of the rear main gun group of the German ship could not point to the Nelson due to the limitation of the shooting angle, so they could only remain silent.

However, due to the large number of British battleships, both turrets could fire other targets. They quickly found new targets and concentrated on firing shells at Orion. The firepower was artificially dispersed. Obviously, this was an unexpected situation, but the Germans did not take any measures to solve this problem.

After that, the USS Nelson successfully evaded the sailing and avoided the German ship's third shell. During the firefighting, more than a dozen British battleships turned south one after another, occupying the position on the west side of the German ship. While the large-caliber shells of the battleships of both sides were coming and going, the three British heavy cruisers in the north continued to sail west at full speed, crossed from the front of William III, and then turned south, occupying the shooting position on the east side of the German ship.
