Chapter 1,476 Encounter 5

Chapter 1476 Encounter 5

At the same time that the Agamemnon was killed, the London and the Ocean also ushered in their own doomsday! Among them, the London became the first warship to be sunk by a destroyer in this naval battle, because it was destroyed by a torpedo launched by a German destroyer 3,000 meters away! Three German destroyers fired 8 torpedoes at the battleship. The torpedoes fired in a fan shape made it impossible for the unsuspecting British battleship to evade. With two loud noises, the 350MM heavy gun had not yet fully exerted its power. The old British battleship has been hit by 2 torpedoes with a charge of up to 280KG! The violent explosion directly blew the poor battleship into three pieces!

The Ocean followed the London 2 minutes after it sank. A 350MM shell directly penetrated the ammunition depot of this old battleship! Death is also neat and tidy! The detonated ammunition depot directly shattered the front of the battleship, and then the rear half of the battleship fell into the sea. The huge propeller tilted up and turned unwillingly. In the end, with the violent collision between the hull and the sea, the poor warship quickly disappeared from the sea!

The last British battleship, the Triumph, was quite excited and immediately released smoke when it realized something was wrong, but unfortunately, it was too late! Two 350MM shells directly turned the battleship into a large torch. Then at least 5 destroyers rushed towards the target and fired 10 torpedoes at a distance of 800 to 1500 meters! Even if the Triumph can play tricks, it still can't escape from such a fatal lightning strike! Like the London, this battleship was also hit by two torpedoes and sank cleanly to the bottom of the sea!

By the way, there are also two British cruisers, Dublin and Doris. Well, for these two soy sauce goods, the Germans don’t even know how they sank!

"We only heard two loud noises from the sea. When the fire and smoke dissipated, there was nothing on the sea. The two cruisers might have been sunk by torpedoes, or they might have been naval guns, or they might have been sunk by The one that the Super Dreadnought destroyed may have been the Predreadnought, who knows? Anyway, these two guys are completely finished!" Earl Spee wrote in his diary afterwards.

As for those destroyers? The few remaining British destroyers faced the pursuit of German fleets from two directions at the same time. Although they were agile and high-speed, they were already in a state of collapse at this moment. Except for a very few destroyers on the edge of the battlefield, they quickly escaped. In addition, the remaining destroyers were all destroyed by dense artillery shells and scurrying torpedoes.

"We seem to have set a record. It took us less than 15 minutes from the time our main fleet opened fire to the time when all warships above the British cruiser were destroyed! Then, we killed at least 80,000 tons of warships!" An officer looked at The crispy fish floating on the sea and the Agamemnon still burning in the distance said with satisfaction.

Even including the previous stage of luring the enemy, the entire naval battle lasted only about 40 minutes. For the count, it is still early, enough for them to complete the second mission point! However, the sudden appearance of the British fleet also made the count doubt the safety of his environment.

After all, since this confrontation, the Allies must know their position... Well, now, what awaits the count is endless siege!

"Half of the destroyers will be on guard outside, and all the battleships will attack Volisos! Well, that's it! We only have one hour at most!" Count Spee ordered!

"We made such a big fuss tonight, shouldn't we go back immediately?" an officer next to him asked with an expression of disbelief.

"We have exhausted all our efforts to get here. If we can't throw tons of artillery shells on the French guys, it will be the biggest failure!" the count said mercilessly. When the military chief makes the final decision, his subordinates naturally have no choice but to obey. However, the earl was also a little uneasy. In a place where others could not see, the earl made a cross on his chest: "God bless, I hope that tomorrow, Lieutenant General Harrell's aviation regiment will be more reliable!"

"We are finally here, but it seems that the French are already prepared!" When the German fleet's seaplane flew over Volisos, the Germans were a little disappointed because they felt that there was something strange in the nearby barracks. The unusual silence can only mean one thing. During the battle between the German fleet and the British fleet, the British and French forces in Volisos Port have received intelligence. In less than an hour, they have evacuated as many people as possible! This gave the Germans a big discount...

But things in the world are always full of surprises... The German pilot suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a few more transport ships in the port, and two of them were quite large. The results of yesterday's daytime investigation were inconsistent!

"If I guessed correctly, these ships should be the new transport fleet mentioned in the intercepted telegram, right? This can be considered an unexpected gain?!" Looking at the information sent by the seaplane in front, Si Earl Pei finally felt more balanced. After all, this was considered an extra compensation.

Needless to say, the British and French people near the port have almost escaped, and some cars have also been evacuated. However, the supplies, equipment and ships piled on the berth cannot escape. What? You said the boat can run? Please, right now, when most merchant ships are still using steam engines and fire tube boilers, do you want a ship to complete the process from lighting a fire to setting sail within 40 minutes? What are you thinking about? This is usually calculated in hours. Battleships use steam engines instead of internal combustion engines! Therefore, except for a few small boats that took the opportunity to slip away, most of the rest were left as lambs to be slaughtered in the port...

"Let's fire, be more accurate, and shoot the transport ships in the berths. Then give them to the port to light the fire and let's go!" After saying that, Count Spee went to find the liaison officer of the Bavarian Air Force to see if he could return. Home, talking to him is the key... So amidst the rumbling sound of cannons, the earl and the people at the aviation port chatted animatedly around a sand table!

As for the rest, it is simple. The German fleet just fires at the ships in the port and targets on the shore. However, the firepower of the German fleet this time is far from what it was when it first attacked the port of Eressos. After all, there were too many variables tonight. Not to mention anything else, just looking at the British fleet they just killed, they also made a contribution, at least consuming a certain amount of German artillery shells!
