Chapter 2247 The Arrival of the Spey Fleet

The Germans were still very quick in damage control, quickly repairing the damaged steam pipes, and their colleagues began to put out the fire and seal the gaps. However, no matter what, the already scarred battleship was about to die. After this shot, the power available to the Oldenburg dropped to less than half!

"Send a telegram to the flagship and say that the Oldenburg cannot evacuate. We will fight until the last moment. I hope the flagship has a safe journey!" Colonel Hers was ready for a fight to the death.

However, just when the Oldenburg was about to collapse, the situation on the battlefield turned again, and a series of water columns rose around the St. Vincent! Hipper, who just went out for a walk, is back! This time, he did not choose to attack Lieutenant General Duff. Instead, he chose to attack the weak ships in the British fleet. Anyway, it would be good if he could open a gap in the encirclement net, so why not find the weak ones?

So, this time Hipper finally felt relieved! Two super-dreadnought battlecruisers hit an injured pre-dreadnought with firepower. This battle was so comfortable!

Therefore, the German 350MM artillery, which is no longer considered advanced, found a feeling of shot penetration and bullet penetration in the British fearlessness! Even though the British battleship tried its best to avoid and release smoke, the two German battlecruisers still hit each other with at least 6 shells!

Two shells hit the bow. Coupled with the previous battle wounds, the bow of the battleship was almost smashed. The front of the hull sank into the sea. Seawater surged onto the deck, constantly impacting the destroyed No. 1 turret. . The No. 2 turret was also unusable due to water damage. There were at least 5 penetration points left on the main armor belt on the fighting side. Flames and steam are still coming out from time to time. The hull is tilted at about 20 degrees, and the speed is also terrifyingly low. Judging from the current situation, even if the two sides stop now, it is still unknown whether the ship can sail back on its own! As the St. Vincent was severely damaged and the Vanguard chose to evacuate, a gap was opened in the British encirclement network. Although the Oldenburg is still stumbling, at least it will take some time for the British to catch up!

However, at this moment, Duff suddenly took his remaining three super-dreadnoughts and three dreadnoughts and began to quickly evacuate eastward. It seemed that he was obviously preparing to leave the battlefield! Looking at the uniform actions of the British in the distance, Hipper quickly understood the reason! If nothing else, the Spey fleet is finally here! And the telegram received more than twenty minutes later also proved this!

"General, we have won!" At this moment, all the participants on the battlefield, whether they were Germans, British, or Americans and Japanese watching, all knew the outcome of this war! The Allies won! The moment the Spey fleet appeared, it announced the end of the British fleet. Now, the bell of doom has sounded, so can the end be far behind?

"General, we can continue to pursue, and then contain the opponent to buy time for our main fleet to arrive!" an officer said excitedly. He had been depressed for a whole battle, and now he finally had a chance to beat the drowned dog. , so why not go up?

"Send a telegram to Crown Prince Ruprecht and ask for the next action plan." Hipper, who had already gained the advantage, showed rare hesitation at this moment. He decided to request an order despite his absolute advantage. At this time, on the Bavaria, the flagship of the German High Seas Fleet, Ruprecht also received a telegram from Count Spey. However, just before that, the British fleet had turned. Obviously, they also knew about Spey. The count's arrival, and even earlier than the count's telegram!

So what's going on? This starts from outside the battlefield. Let us turn the clock back to forty minutes ago.

Then look at the situation of Betty's fleet outside the battlefield.

"This is all the planes we have left?!" Looking at the planes on her deck that were no more than two hands worth, Betty really felt what it was like to be heartbroken! He feels even more sad and angry now than when Marshal Trenchard saw the British bombers returning after bombing Constantinople! Because these pilots, especially the pilots on his flagship, were selected one by one by Betty! He knows the name, birthplace and hobbies of each of the 60 crew members on his aircraft carrier! He had never put so much effort into a fleet. And now, these people are 70% or 80% better! They were Betty's friends and comrades-in-arms, and now, only a few of them are back.

"Your Excellency, Commander Jericho's telegram." An officer walked up carefully and said.

"Read it!" Betty was no longer in the mood to read the telegram.

"Sir Jericho asked us to evacuate quickly. He said that we no longer have planes, and staying on the battlefield has no effect other than being a target. We might as well retreat." The subordinate whispered.

"Haha. Well, at least we can bring most of the people back." Betty smiled nervously. "So, do you think our war is over? Colonel? Do you think we are really worthless and become a waste, as some people say?" Betty changed the topic and said loudly!

"Although we suffered heavy losses, although Jericho and Thomas think we are useless, and I don't like Jericho and Thomas, I respect my colleagues who are still fighting on the battlefield!" Betty expressed a rare emotion. : "Tell all the pilots to prepare. We have one last reconnaissance mission to perform! Order the fleet to sail along this route." After speaking, Betty drew a line with a pencil on the chart. Betty is ready to use her last meager strength to do her part in this war!

However, Betty's efforts were indeed not in vain. Using aerial reconnaissance, Betty discovered the Spey fleet that was speeding towards the battlefield in advance! And then the telegram was sent to all British squadrons on the battlefield!

"Sir Jericho, we lost." The telegram in Lieutenant General Burney's hand was like a heavy iron plate. What the British were most worried about finally happened. The British Grand Fleet was flanked! And now, the main fleets of both sides have been fighting together. Can they just leave? Have you asked the 12 Bavarias on the opposite side?

"Send a report to Thomas and ask him to evacuate immediately! We stay behind and tell Thomas not to think about other things anymore and try to get every battleship back." At this moment, Jericho seemed to have aged 20 years. , but he is still quick-thinking and works hard to fulfill his obligations and responsibilities as the commander of the Grand Fleet!
