At 11 o’clock in the afternoon, the situation gradually became clear. We pieced together a terrible fact from a few words from the command tower of the New Zealand. A night German army dispatched the Grand Fleet Command to judge that they were hiding somewhere in the North Sea and trying to deal with the fast fleet on the way back.
I think this is a fact. The fact that the British are equally famous for General Betty, the defeated naval war god Heidi Sillem, is somewhat otherwise, but it is undeniable that David Betty is the best naval commander of the Royal Navy at present and the guy who knows Heidi Sillem’s thinking best. But when I watched the watchtower of the main mast of the New Zealand War Patrol for a long time, I inadvertently caught a glimpse of a few smoke columns rising from the southeast. My confidence suddenly collapsed!
The Germans appeared in the last place, and their heads exploded. In addition to sounding the jǐng annunciator, I was inexpressible and angry after being fooled! ’
On June 21, 1937, the 20th anniversary of the naval battle in Orkney Islands, Ri Europe was once again covered with clouds, and the British island was full of revenge against the Germans, vowing to recapture Ri’s empire, and the Times of London published Harris’s memoirs about orkney untimely, reminding the irrational Britons of the glorious war history of the national defense navy across the North Sea.
At that time, the Royal Navy had reason to be afraid of the Germans in the southeast. If that was the main German fleet and the first reconnaissance group, then the Germans could just keep their course at this moment, regardless of the actions taken by the Royal Navy. The German route just crossed the south of the fleet to form a terrible word. The word "horizontal head" is even more frightening than the word "horizontal head". It is almost an idiot for the big fleet to form a seven-row cruise formation. Its patrol team is still at the southern edge of Firth Bay. There are still two hours to go before the battlefield.
In the era of ship-fearing, when a fleet is engaged in sea navigation, the commander always tends to put the most powerful capital ship in his hand in the direction where the enemy is most likely to appear, while the relatively weak capital ship puts it in the other direction, which is not only conducive to maintaining his own strength, but also conducive to the formation of troops on the battlefield.
Considering that the southern peninsula of cromartie Bay in eastern Scotland goes deep into the North Sea, it is judged that the Germans may be in the southwest. David Betty brazenly arranged four revenge-class battleships in the seventh unit, and the strength of the fourth patrol fleet was relatively poor, while three old-fashioned battle cruiser were on the left.
The actual situation is that the Germans have appeared in the wrong direction. "The sea soul of a big country Chapter 10 The King of the North Atlantic! (5) "The theory of knowing whether the British fleet is the leftmost fourth battle patrol fleet or the first battleship fleet on the left is not the peak sexually German opponent, which makes the big fleet in a difficult position to ride a tiger.
The best way for the big fleet to get rid of the entanglement of the ocean fleet as soon as possible is to turn to the left with the German herringbone head and let the destroyer release smoke cover and the two fleets move in opposite directions to escape from the battlefield. However, the weak fourth patrol fleet and the first battleship fleet obviously play the main role in the British battlefield.
If you turn to the right, there is no doubt that it will be a long-term pursuit. Without a fast fleet, ten battleships from battle cruiser and four battleships from the United States, the Royal Navy does not have much advantage in the face of the German navy.
Although the future was uncertain, the sound of the jǐng newspaper by the New Zealand did not wake the British for the first time. There were still a few wisps of smoke in the southeast. The Royal Navy confirmed that there would be no British ship in that direction, but at least they could expect it to be a light ship carrying the German avant-garde and pilot workers. They sometimes reacted.
Betty didn’t have those lucky feelings. The report from the seaplane sent to the southwest interfered with his judgment. Betty wasn’t sure whether the southeast was a German light reconnaissance fleet or the first reconnaissance group and the ocean fleet, or whether the German department had 19 battleships and a battle cruiser.
With a little hesitation, David Betty ordered the fourth patrol fleet of the big fleet to turn right, the fast fleet to move north as fast as possible, and moved closer to the big fleet as much as possible. The third destroyer detachment separated two ocean-going destroyers to approach and investigate the actual situation in the southeast.
Two British ocean-going destroyers flying the M-flag quickly left the fleet and rushed to the side of the ocean fleet like arrows, while the British Grand Fleet and the Fourth World Patrol Fleet began to turn to the array change process with difficulty according to the plan.
Unlike the Germans, who have only four cruise formations, the British fleet has only six sub-fleets. If these six fleets are arranged to turn left at different speeds and angles, it is a matter of time. At present, the commanders of the big fleet have to consider the fourth patrol detachment of the’ Mediterranean-style’ battleship, which has fallen from patrol to heavy fire protection.
Before the pressure, I neglected training, but I was eager to achieve success. The big fleet turned and changed quickly. The rigorous formation of the big fleet in the desolate North Sea was instantly fragmented, and the sub-fleet danced like eggs to stimulate close-range passing. There were many incidents in which the two sub-fleets of the second battleship team were seriously out of touch because of the lack of tacit understanding, so the second detachment chased the first detachment, and the first battleship team had to cancel the steering brake and wait patiently for the formation of the second battleship team.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the big fleet is not as large as the Germans, and the adjustment of the main fleet is relatively flexible.
However, this can’t appease the beleaguered British people. The identity of the fleet has come out because of the high-speed rush from the southeast.
Bavaria, the king, Caesar … God, the Germans sent all their available ships to form a battle line, openly occupying the horizontal head and looking at the south!’
Perry, commander of the Fourth World Patrol Fleet, couldn’t help whispering in fear to the extreme. After three minutes, the distance between the two fleets was shortened by one kilometer. The British noticed that the battleship Bavaria was glowing with cold light and the muzzle of the main gun burst out with piercing eyes.
It’s Germans testing guns!
""Perry suddenly felt the whole body gas solidified until the roaring 3 mm hardening was broken by the cap armor-piercing projectile, which made him stand on his head and scream. Perry just came out of the long-term dizziness and shivered at noon in the warm summer in the North Sea.
German armor-piercing bullets roared strangely across the fourth patrol fleet and plunged obliquely into the gap between the two sub-fleets of the second battleship due to command errors.
The deafening explosion came and tried to destroy the eardrums of the officers and men of the New Zealand patrol. The wind was so anxious that the officers and men covered their dull ears and beat their hearts violently, and they stood on tiptoe nervously looking at the direction of the explosion.
There is no doubt that the bullet was nearly lost, but it was not as dull as expected. This is called being worried about the underwater bullet. Major General Perry can relax his nerves a little, but even so, Perry can still see the spectacular scene through the two sub-fleets of the first battleship team and the second detachment of the second battleship team.
On the right side of the fourth battle patrol fleet, a huge water column rises to the sky, and the top of the main mast of the capital ship is almost flat.
This water column will soon lose its kinetic energy, roar and disappear, and there is no doubt behind the shadow of the ship. It is violently sweeping all floors of the main ship of the two sub-fleets of the Second Battleship, such as antenna, hinge, fire sandbag, crane, lifeboat, secondary main gun and trestle …
The war … has begun. Wish … Good luck to Britain!’
Major General Perry closed his eyes to be continued.
The second gun Chapter 10 King of the North Atlantic! (6)
"("King of the North Atlantic "in the third quarter)
At 12: 03 on June 21, 1917, the last large-scale naval battle of the European War broke out in cromartie Bay on the south side of the Orkney Islands.
The German Ocean Fleet took the lead in making a speech. The flagship Bavarian played the first 3mm hardened cap armor-piercing projectile at the Anton turret at the bow of the ship. It roared out of the chamber and splashed down on the second detachment of the first detachment of the British Second Battleship, which was pulled out to form a huge destructive near-missing projectile.
The water column went up into the sky, and then it was brazenly baptized with thunderous momentum. All the buildings of the first unit battleship Monarch and the second unit battleship Saint Vincent were thoroughly cleaned up, including the antenna, hinges, fire sandbags, cranes, lifeboats, secondary main guns and trestles.
The battleship Monarch, the last widow of the hunting class battleship, still seems to be unable to get rid of the emperor’s curse. This super-fearful ship suffered varying degrees of damage without firing its antenna and hanging the semaphore mast. Before the antenna was rebuilt and the signal cable was repaired, the battleship Monarch contacted the ships of France and France.
In addition, this battleship suffered a catastrophe and paid the price of three sailors killed and eleven injured. Three sailors located near a 4-inch auxiliary gun on the second deck of the Monarch were caught off guard and the water column on the washed deck was involved in the unfathomable Wang Yang, and eleven other officers and men were slightly injured.
The second unit, the battleship Saint Vincent, was obviously luckier than the former. The battleship Saint Vincent was located in the reverse direction of the impact potential energy of German armor-piercing bullets. This battleship was only slightly damaged by the crane, and another dinghy deck reinforcement dinghy sailor was scratched by the cable of the caving crane.
Of course, the number of losses of the second battleship fleet is still acceptable, but considering that this round of shelling is only a prelude to the large-scale shelling of the German navy, it is not happy to fire back at the Royal Navy in the process of turning and changing the array.
It’s not a bit lucky that the first shell fired by the hull at a high speed with a fighting distance of 1 km accurately fell into the large fleet, is it?’
Betty let go of her fist, which was full of sweat, and bent down to hold the commander’s arm. The edge of the square sand table was annoyed while staring at the sand table.
The loss figures of the Saint Vincent were quickly fed back. The commander of the flagship Revenge, Tabetti, grabbed the newspaper and frowned a little. However, the report from the New Zealand, the fourth patrol fleet, destroyed Betty’s heart that had just calmed down.
Bavarian, King, Caesar …’
Betty’s line of sight came from the New Zealand war patrol, but the newspaper wandered back and forth, but he never found the shadow of the ship that he took for granted. This made Betty feel bad. Betty’s blue Se eye pupil unconsciously contracted a brace of sand table hands and made them into fists.
The German battle line leader is not the first investigation group, West Lyme. Do you want to fight for Kun in World War I? ！’
By this time, Betty could almost piece together Heidi Sillem’s plan. At the beginning of the campaign, Sillem was still used to tactical deception, forcing the big fleet to split up and lure the fast fleet out of Ann. "Firth Bay was the main ship to deal with the big fleet.
The core of the West Lyme project is that the raid fleet in the south of the North Sea stayed behind in Jed Bay Ocean Fleet to cooperate with battle cruiser’s potential dependency.
Different from Britain and battle cruiser, when designing each battle cruiser, the designers of Ocean Fleet pay great attention to its protection and health, which enables Germany and battle cruiser to carry out battlefield reconnaissance, patrol decisive battles and destroy armored cruisers, and at the same time, it has the characteristics of challenging all battleships to join the battle line.
So Betty has no doubt that West Lyme will put the first reconnaissance group, which is said to be battle cruiser, into the German battle line by defining the fast battleships.
However, for the first investigation group, Betty still looked down on her old rival Heidi Selim. It is necessary to know that the German first investigation group’s three mackensen-class patrol ships are all equipped with four double-mounted main guns with a diameter of 45 times 3 mm, and three Devlinger-class patrol ships are also equipped with four double-mounted main guns with a diameter of 45 times 35 mm. Betty takes it for granted that Selim will put these six ships in front of the sea monsters of the unified battleship against the big fleet, which has become a 15-inch main gun group.
But the fact is that Sealime did not put the first reconnaissance group at the head of the German battle line, nor did it dismantle the first reconnaissance group, and mixed three mackensen-class battleships, three Devlinger-class battleships, two Bavarian-class battleships and four king battleships, but stuffed the first reconnaissance group into the end of the battle line.
The strength distribution of German battlelines has the characteristics of strong and weak at both ends, so the tactical intention of Selim is "the soul of the sea of great powers Chapter 10 King of the North Atlantic! (6) "It is called Yu to destroy the tail of the British battle line as soon as possible.
It may be that Selim was aware of the Americans’ undeclared attempt to fight, or it may be that Selim was afraid to rush toward the northern end of Firth Bay. The total ocean fleet didn’t mean to fight a protracted war in the Scarborough Gerakl Strait with David Betty, nor did it mean to have another big scuffle on ustica Island. Instead, it wanted to gain the numerical advantage of the German Third Battleship, and the Royal Navy’s terrible 15-inch main gun group reached a deadlock. The first battleship held off the relatively mediocre British fleet, and the second battleship finally made the first reconnaissance group J Ο ng, a fierce battle cruiser, and destroyed its first battleship and the fourth
This goal is not difficult to achieve. You must know that leaving the Royal Navy’s battle line is full of dirty goods at the end. Se, the fourth patrol team’s three patrols are old guys who can’t run and win, and they can’t beat ordinary battleships. Although the First Battleship has a revenge-class battleship with relatively considerable strength, it is difficult to be a solid and reliable comrade-in-arms of the Royal Oak, whether it is equipped with a 14-inch gun for export and resale, a Canadian-class ship, or two typical export ships obtained from South America by deception or mediocre qualifications.
What’s more, the German Ocean Fleet is the first battleship and the fourth patrol fleet. Perhaps the Royal Navy suffered heavy losses before the formation of the battle line of the big fleet.
The ocean fleet just played the first shot, and Betty vaguely saw the shadow of failure
Once the German First Reconnaissance Group destroys seven battleships and three battle cruiser ships at the tail of its own battle line, unless the "sea spirit of great powers" in the head and team of the big fleet battle line achieves brilliant results, the morale of the Royal Navy will still fall into a state of complete collapse. Faced with the will and determination to fight, the Germans can call the first Reconnaissance Group to form a situation of more battles and fewer encirclement and suppression, and they can choose to retreat the remnants of the big fleet.
At that time, even if the Royal Navy’s fast fleet of ten cruisers and four American battleships get to the battlefield, I’m afraid it won’t help. In the face of aggressive pursuit of the ocean fleet, Lampard may still have little courage to fight to the death. The Royal Navy can’t expect much from the Americans.
The Germans soon launched the second round of shelling, this time the Germans reduced their speed, and four king-class battleships were equipped with 35 mm giant guns, which also joined the most spectacular sea ensemble in the 2 nd century.
At 12 o’clock, the hail flashed across the sky like a meteor and slammed into the side of the big fleet.
This time, Betty can also observe the impact point of German armor-piercing bullets without the report of the flagship watchtower. Through the low and narrow porthole in front of the commander tower of the battleship Revenge, Betty found that the North Sea, which was mixed with black smoke and a large water column, suddenly evolved into a boiling Wang Yang more than 1,000 meters away from the left front of the battleship Revenge!
Let the big fleet continue to change formations and turn to neighboring ships, and pay attention to distance to avoid collision. After the big fleet completes the turn, the first battleship team and the fourth patrol team should pay attention to the Germans to distance themselves. The second battleship team gave me fire and destroyed four battleships with sā class in the first German team as soon as possible!’
The explosion woke Betty, who never lost to the sea. The cavalry took a deep breath and tried to get rid of their fears, save up and be brave. They were determined to have a good fight with their old rivals.
""Selim, since you want to fight against me at the end of the line, I will kill your first team. This war has just begun! "
For a moment, David Betty, the best naval commander of the Royal Navy during the European War, almost broke his wrist, and decided to choose the method of killing 3,000 enemies and losing 10,000 lives to give up the J Ο ng force in the first battleship fleet and the fourth patrol fleet to deal with four battleships with sā class in the first German detachment first.
Although cruel and bloody, it may be the only effective counter-attack measure taken by the Royal Navy at that time. Betty’s theory, such as hard work, can’t change the fact that the first battleship team and the fourth patrol fleet lost to Germany’s first reconnaissance group. However, Betty in the battle line team is confident that the second battleship team faces Germany’s first battleship team, especially the first detachment. The standard displacement of four ships is 10,000 tons, and it is only equipped with four double-mounted battleships with a diameter of 5 times and a diameter of 2 mm, but it has an absolute advantage with sā class battleships.
General Lampard’s fast fleet, ten cruisers and four American battleships are more than two hours away from the war zone. The strength of the large fleet has not suffered too much loss, and there is still a chance to recover.
Betty reached a murderous, sub-maximum order, and everything belonged to the Royal Navy as David Betty had expected. In less than fifteen minutes, the bad news kept coming.
The deck of the gunwale of the British Fourth War Patrol Fleet, the Unyielding, was ablaze; The ammunition depot of Battleship Singapore, the sixth detachment of the first Battleship Team, disappeared in the North Sea less than a minute after the martyrdom explosion. "To be continued.
The second gun chapter 11 change history instantaneous (a)
"(The King of the North Atlantic fell like a meteor in the fourth quarter)
The sea situation is extremely unfavorable to the British.
The turning and changing of the seven columns is an extremely difficult and complicated process, especially many officers and men who control the capital ship are newly recruited into the big fleet after the naval battle in the Scarborough Gerakl Strait. Moreover, the Germans are close at hand, whether they are senior officers of the Royal Navy or the lowest sailors, they dare not expect Heidi Selim to miss the opportunity of crossing the head and be eager for success, which aggravates the confusion of the big fleet.
