"Order the ships to attack with all their strength. We are now at the point of life and death. If we cannot defeat the enemy in front of us, we will only die. Therefore, for the Royal Navy, for the British Empire, and for ourselves, defeat Germany People! May God bless us!" Lieutenant General David Beatty spoke to the officers and men of the Royal Navy's ships.

   "Long live the Royal Navy! Long live the British Empire!"

  The officers and soldiers of the Royal Navy, whose morale was low due to being at a disadvantage, once again mustered their fighting spirit and devoted themselves to the battle.

   It's just that, when the "Indomitable" was severely damaged and withdrew from the battle, and the "Indefatigable" was sunk, the Royal Navy only had seven battlecruisers left. The German Navy's break-off fleet is still six battlecruisers.

   "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

  The battlecruisers on both sides fired continuously, and the shells passed through the air one after another, making sharp and piercing sounds. The naval battle has entered the climax stage, and both sides can be said to have become red-eyed. However, judging from the loss and strength comparison, the German Navy's broken fleet still has the upper hand.

"General Scheer has already sunk a British battleship. It is estimated that the battle will end soon. The 380mm main gun of the 'Derfflinger-class' battlecruiser is really powerful. !” Lieutenant General Hipper exclaimed.

"That's right! The 'Derfflinger-class' has become so strong, so how strong will the follow-up 'Makensen-class' be? What's more, our 'King-class' battleships and the 'Bavaria-class' "The battleships are all equipped with 380mm main guns. From the perspective of strength comparison, we have completely surpassed the British Royal Navy. I think there will be no suspense in our victory in the future decisive battle at sea." It's gone." Lieutenant General Spei looked forward to it. He seemed to have seen the scene where the German Navy defeated the Royal Navy and won the final victory in the future naval battle.

   "We will definitely win!" Lieutenant General Hipper also said.

At this time, the battlecruiser 'Seidlitz' of the German Navy was shot, and a shell fired from the battlecruiser 'Royal Princess' of the British Navy hit the 'Seidlitz' Battlecruiser. The shell penetrated the rear deck of the 'Sedlitz', and after the shell exploded, it broke a transmission shaft, which greatly affected the speed of the battlecruiser 'Sedlitz'.

   After receiving the news, Lieutenant General Hipper and Lieutenant General Spey did not look very good.

   "Can the 'Sedlitz' continue to hold on?" Lieutenant General Hipper asked.

"It's difficult. The speed is decreasing, and it will gradually fail to keep up with the battle line. In addition, it will also become a key target for the British. If it is lost because of this, it would be a pity." Lieutenant General Spee Said.

   Hipper nodded. So far, these warships of the German Navy may have suffered more or less injuries, but they were all minor injuries, and they were not severely damaged, let alone on the battlefield. One of the drive shafts of the 'Sedlitz' was blown up, and it only needs to be returned to the shipyard for repairs. If you were severely injured or even sunk because you persisted in fighting, it would be too much for the loss.

   "Let the 'Sedlitz' withdraw from the battle! Even if one ship is missing, we can still defeat the British." Lieutenant General Hipper said.

   Lieutenant General Spee had no objection to this, and immediately ordered the withdrawal of the "Sedlitz" from the battle.

  The British Navy couldn't help cheering when they saw a warship of the German Navy withdrawing from the battle.

   "Great, God bless us!"

   Lieutenant General David Betty couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

   "It is now 7 to 5, and we still have the advantage. Perhaps, we still have a chance of winning." Lieutenant General David Betty secretly thought.

  However, after only ten minutes, Lieutenant General David Beatty had to completely forget this idea.

  The battlecruiser 'Von de Tann' once again hit the battlecruiser 'Australia'. Before, the battlecruiser "Australia" was severely damaged. This time, it was hit by two 305mm shells at one time. A shell penetrated the conning tower of the battleship "Australia". Although the conning tower has 280mm armor, it still cannot withstand the shells fired by the 305mm main gun with 50 times the caliber. After the shell tore through the armor, it exploded inside the conning tower, killing all the officers inside. Another shell hit the stern of the battleship "Australia", blowing up the steering gear and causing a lot of water ingress.

  After the failure to plug the leak, the captain of the battlecruiser "Australia" had to issue an order to abandon the ship, causing the battlecruiser formation of the British Navy to lose another battleship.

   Immediately afterwards, five minutes later, the battlecruiser 'Leopold' completed the lore of the battlecruiser 'Indomitable' of the British Navy. A 305mm shell hit the armor near the waterline of the battlecruiser Indomitable at a very tricky angle. The waterline armor of the "Invincible" battlecruiser was already very weak, and it couldn't withstand 305mm shells at all. The waterline armor was directly torn open a big hole, which affected several cabins.

   The officers and soldiers on the battlecruiser 'Indomitable' immediately carried out loss control. However, in the face of the surging seawater pouring in, there was no other way but to give up.

  As more and more seawater entered the hull, the hull of the battlecruiser 'Indomitable' gradually tilted.

   As a last resort, the captain of the battlecruiser 'Indomitable' reported to Lieutenant Admiral David Beatty and then gave the order to abandon the ship. Soon, this huge battleship with a displacement of 20,000 tons capsized on the sea and sank into the icy Atlantic Ocean.

   Now the comparison on the sea has become 5 to 5. The British Navy still has the 'Tiger', 'Queen Mary', 'Royal Princess', 'New Zealand' and 'Invincible'. The German Navy still has the 'Moltke', 'Goben', 'Blücher', 'Von der Tann' and 'Leopold' left.

  Although, the number of both sides is the same. However, in terms of combat effectiveness, the two sides are not at the same level at all.

   "We lost, General, we have already lost, we can't beat the Germans at all!" A staff officer said crying.

  David? Lieutenant General Betty, why don't you know this? Now he is once again faced with a choice. Should we continue to fight until a heroic sacrifice, or should we retreat and preserve our strength?

   Soon, Lieutenant General David Beatty had a choice, and he directly issued an order to retreat. At the same time, Rear Admiral Robertson was ordered to lead the remaining fleet to hold the Germans.
