When the German plane appeared above the heads of the British, the British were also nervous. Because they did not know where the German fleet was? The Germans knew that this distance could not effectively attack British ships at night, but the British did not know! Wait for four ships

After the British battleship responsible for attacking was exposed to the dazzling white light, the British paused briefly, wondering whether to continue the attack or hide first.

The High Seas Fleet opened fire! The slender muzzles of the four Caesar-class battleships of the Second Battleship Formation of the High Seas Fleet spurted out dazzling tongues of flame. However, their targets were not the four British super-dreadnoughts in the distance, but they were still beating Hansen.

British pre-dreadnought! At this time, the two sides are playing hide and seek in the dark.

The one who is exposed will definitely suffer, and only the party with sufficient trump cards can win. The British pre-dreadnought fleet was exposed, so it was beaten severely by Hansen. After Hansen was exposed, he was beaten violently by the British super-dreadnought, and after the British super-dreadnought was exposed,

Because the distance was a bit far..., the Germans could only take advantage of their opponent's fearlessness.

No, only some German battleships can only attack the Dreadnought, and some Germans want to take a risk by using the cover of darkness! "The plane is still hovering over the opponent's battleship, and the flares still indicate the opponent's position, although this distance

We can't attack effectively, but we can get close to someone

My fleet is faster, and there are no British auxiliary warships around. We can quickly approach and then attack like those Prussian pistol cavalry, and then quickly break away. Although the results may be limited, it is better than losing precious artillery shells.

Better waste it on the pre-dreadnought," Hipper ordered.

There are rumors within the German Navy that Scheer is aggressive and aggressive, but in fact, as his deputy, Lieutenant General Hipper is more extreme and bolder than him! Especially when he has a very powerful force in both size and strength.

fleet! Hipper, who held 7 battleships at this time, even

The idea of ​​secretly attacking the British battleship fleet under the cover of the curtain. But soon, this too risky plan was abandoned by him. When four Caesar-class battleships attacked the British pre-dreadnought battleship, Hipper began to attack the auxiliary battleships.

Under the guidance, slowly approach the four British super-dauntless ships that opened fire!

"Each warship can attack a maximum of 10 and a half salvos. No matter what the result is, it must follow the flagship to evacuate!" Although Hipper is bold, he is definitely not reckless. Once he is found by the opponent's searchlight, the British will be waiting for him.

The fury of the Grand Fleet. And 10 and a half volleys only lasted about 6 minutes at most. In such a short period of time, the British could not effectively lock down the attack.

The four British super-dreadnoughts can quickly cripple the exposed German pre-dreadnought fleet. Similarly, the four Caesar-class battleships can also easily defeat the severely damaged British pre-dreadnought fleet. The Duke of Edinburgh armored cruiser is the first

The victim. The King Albert won the sea

The first result of the battle was that two 350mm shells that hit almost simultaneously tore open the side of the Duke of Edinburgh. One shot hit the engine room and the high-speed running engine was blown to pieces. At the same time, the violent explosion also destroyed nearby ships.

The power cabin was also destroyed, while another 350mm shell penetrated several

After a layer of armor, it penetrated under the waterline on the other side. Although this artillery shell was a dumb bomb, the damage caused was not small at all. This artillery shell fired a one-shot 5 meters below the waterline on the opposite side.

A big hole of about square meters! For the same hole, being at the waterline and under the waterline are not the same concept. It is damaged.

The deeper the place, the faster the water enters. The strong water pressure is equivalent to a super powerful water pump, which continuously transports seawater into the battleship. And this damage obviously exceeds the upper limit of the drainage system of the old pre-dreadnought ship, coupled with the power

The system was partially destroyed, and the battleship eventually listed rapidly and sank into the sea.

Subsequently, two more British pre-dreadnought battleships were destroyed by the Kaiser and the Friedrichshain. In this battle, only three British pre-dreadnought battleships were evacuated with damage, while only one German pre-dreadnought was evacuated from the British.

They left the battlefield under the attack of 343mm artillery. Judging from the losses, both sides were half

With the withdrawal of the pre-dreadnoughts, the war entered a new stage. The British auxiliary battleships and light cruisers did not retreat. Instead, they began to rush towards the Caesar-class battleship formation. They tried to use searchlights to search for their opponents.

, and will launch a lightning strike at the right time!

"When did the British fight so hard? It's too late?" Looking at the actions of the British fleet, Scheer's eyelids jumped sharply. The opponent's light cruiser was still approaching the German fleet after the evacuation of the pre-dreadnought, so it means that the opponent

There is no intention to dodge, but to continue to take advantage of the auxiliary battleships to fight night battles. Jericho's main fleet may even be approaching the four Caesar-class battleships! "Send two more destroyer formations to cover the transfer of the Caesar-class battleships!"

The roar of the heavy artillery has stopped, but the battle at sea has not stopped at this time. Countless destroyers are like light cavalry rushing towards each other under the leadership of light cruisers. Various shells fired by various medium-caliber artillery and machine guns interweave in the sea.

A web of death. The British Navy never lacks courage, and the German Navy also fights tit for tat. "We can even hit the enemy ships sailing at high speed with rifles."

Ships, the average combat distance quickly shortened to about 1km! We can easily determine the position based on the opponent's muzzle fire, even the searchlight is omitted. The sound of explosions one after another rang in our ears, and the destroyers of hundreds of tons turned into

It formed a ball of dazzling fire, illuminating the nearby sea surface. The shells fired one after another from the 88mm rapid-fire cannon and the 50mm rapid-fire cannon swept back and forth on the sea surface like long whips."

In a chaotic battle, having more people and larger ships is an advantage. Under the leadership of 4 light cruisers, a British destroyer squadron composed of up to 12 destroyers finally broke through the German blockade. Two British light cruisers destroyed 6 ships in a row.

After the German destroyer, finally a German destroyer came close to another British destroyer.

Three torpedoes were fired from the cruiser less than 500 meters away! The torpedoes with a charge of nearly 200kg successfully blew the light cruiser stained with German blood into two halves! However, at this time, the German interception also

It has come to an end, and four Caesar-class battleships are exposed in front of the British auxiliary fleet!

"Kill all those flies!" Seeing his younger brother being beaten to pieces by the opponent, the four Caesar-class battleships no longer retained their firepower. The main and secondary guns worked together to deal with these desperate flies. Anyway, once they were locked

The other party will keep getting closer to you

A super fearless attack, so it would be better to just go for it! At this time, the German Air Force was still throwing flares over the head of the British 3rd Battleship Squadron. The looming 3rd Battleship Formation was getting closer and closer to the German 2nd Battleship Formation.

Close!

"The Germans finally got anxious. The artillery on the four Kaiser-class battleships was like a suddenly erupting volcano. Countless shells were like the rolling lava flow swallowing up all the targets they could hit. We could even see in the distance.

The hull of the German battleship is surrounded by apertures of three colors, which are the main guns, 15

It was formed by the fire from the 0mm secondary gun and the 88mm anti-mine cannon. It was like a furious giant beast pouring its anger around. We simply couldn't get close under such a dense fire attack. All attempts to get closer were blocked.

Failed!" a British officer on the light cruiser recalled.

The British did not give up. The only three remaining light cruisers followed an S-shaped trajectory on the sea to avoid the opponent's attack. The USS Chester was at the forefront. This 5,000-ton light cruiser was commissioned in 1914.

The cruiser dodges while using the ship's 6-inch gun to suppress the opponent. I don't know whether this will be a reckless or brave move.

It received intensive care from the Friedrich der Grosse. Eight 350mm naval guns attacked it at an almost horizontal angle. Huge water columns rose up next to it. The huge water pressure generated after the near-missing bomb entered the water continued to impact the water.

The hull below the line even had cracks and holes in some places, but the British did not give up and continued to move forward!

Suddenly, the light cruiser Birmingham, which was behind the Chester in the attacking British light cruiser formation, suddenly had a huge explosion. A huge fireball directly hit the scabbard of the Birmingham, like a long knife.

The buildings on the upper part of the hull were chopped to pieces. Although this was a high-explosive bomb, it had almost destroyed the warship.

It lost its combat effectiveness. Before the British could wake up from the shock, another shell hit the unlucky battleship again. This shell directly penetrated the ammunition truck of the Birmingham, and a huge pillar of fire shot into the sky, followed by

The shock wave tore the battleship into pieces, with flying fragments and wreckage scattered on the sea for several kilometers!

Shortly after the Birmingham was reduced to parts, the Friedrich der Grosse finally succeeded in squeezing the jumping rabbit in front of her! The Chester's was turned into a torch by the dense 6-inch shells, and then in

After the torpedo attack fails, turn around

When leaving, a 350mm shell hit the stern. The entire battleship sank violently as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer. However, before the ship could regain its balance, two more main gun shells hit the stern. Finally,

The battleship sank to the bottom of the sea.

Only one light cruiser escaped, and the British lightning strike attempt had completely failed. However, the destroyer that arrived later still used its searchlight to firmly cover the four German battleships in the distance. At this time, in the distance,

The 4 British super-dreadnoughts have also been

After reaching the distance where the night battle can be effectively attacked, at this time, in the British rangefinder, the four German warships have been firmly locked, but it is difficult for the Germans to find the British warships with only muzzle flash! At this moment

, has the outcome been decided?
