On January 24, 1915, the British sank the German battleship Brewcher
On this day, 110 years ago, on January 24, 1915 (December 10, 1914 in the lunar calendar), the British army sank the German warship "Blücher". The huge battleship Blyutcher succumbed to British artillery fire at Taugersha. On January 24, 1915, the British combat cruiser sank the German armored cruiser Blyutcher and severely damaged two other German warships. The German army wanted to repeat the scene of shelling the coastal towns of Scarborough and Hartlepool last year, but they were discovered on the morning of the 24th, and five British Navy combat cruisers attacked Vice Admiral David. Sir Beatty's command opened fire on the German warship at 9.30 a.m. The German warships retreated eastward. During this maritime pursuit, the Blyutcher was bombarded by the Leon's 13.5-inch artillery. The Blyutcher separated from the fleet and capsized and sank. The German Admiralty reported that although the Dorvgren, Seidlitz and Moltke were severely injured, they continued to retreat and later reached German minefields and submarine protection range. The British suffered minor losses. Eleven people were injured on board the Leon. The victory was a disgrace for the defeat on January 1, when the HMS Invincible was sunk by a torpedo or submarine in the English Channel, and only 150 of the 750 sailors were rescued.
