Chapter 1230 Two-line attack

The Baltic Sea, as the lowest salty sea in the world, looks particularly blue, but like the North Sea, it is even affected by the North Sea. Not only is there often foggy here, but the waves are also quite high. Even Scher's warships are slightly bumpy here.

It is the reality of the high sea situation that affects the sea situation here. Most British warships are suitable for fighting in high sea situation environments. Germany is far inferior to that of this. This is the case. It often focuses on one aspect and has to ignore the other aspects. Fortunately, the wind and waves are barely high in the Baltic Sea. Fantasy and Orion are still considered. Although it is not necessarily as designed by the British, it is completely adapted to the sea situation of the North Sea, but some winds and waves will not lose their effect, and the waves will not affect the overall situation.

It has been almost four or five days since the arrival of the Scher fleet, and the main warships of Britain and Germany fought in the Baltic Sea. The entire Nordic countries were now making turtles. Even if they were inclined toward Britain and Sweden, they did not dare to face the war between the two. They had the right to know. Those who knew about this war in the Baltic Sea were amazed at the strength of the two major powers.

More than 70 main battleships, but the tonnage of the main battleships exceeded 2 million tons. In addition to other warships, 4 million tons of warships fought against each other on the huge Baltic Sea. The number of sailors on both sides participated in the battle exceeded 400,000. This is a naval battle, not a land battle, hundreds of thousands of naval forces, and millions of tons of warships fighting on the sea. This is the greatest power that human creation can show. When the second-rate power led by Japan was still pursuing the era of dreadnoughts, the two naval powers, Ying and Germany, were already concentrating the main ships and fighting. If you miss a little, it would be enough for the second-rate power to eat. This is the English and Germany in its peak era, with capabilities far exceeding other countries.

Scher's fleet crossed the strait smoothly and communicated through radio. The high seas fleet is currently approaching Sweden, and has been entangled by Jericho's fleet. Although it is currently under mutual temptation, it has fallen at a disadvantage.

You should know that except for the Scher fleet, other high sea fleets, their training outline is 6,000 meters, which is the first shot, and the UK is 10,000 meters. Although there is no better sight. The Baltic Sea is at a high sea condition, over 6,000 meters is basically free, but in the long-distance temptation, in most cases, the German fleet was passively beaten.

During the battle, Jericho also tentatively attacked, hitting 6 of the hundreds of shells, but it was not an important place. As the distance between the two sides became closer, Tirpitz also knew that the last moment of the decisive battle might have come. If they did not make a decision, they might be depressed and passively beaten, and could not fight back until they were sunk.

Tirpitz has been hesitating all the time. He didn't know when Scher would end, so he would hold on for a while. It would be fine for two or three hours, but if he continued, once he was forced into a dead end, it would be very dangerous for the High Seas Fleet. Maybe he would fight against Jericho. There was little chance that all the staff would fall into it, but it was certain that he would suffer a big loss.

Should I fight? In this case, it is really a head-on battle. Instead, it is safer. Both sides will hurt each other. As long as the luck is not too bad, the balance can be almost done, and at most a small loss will be suffered.

At this moment, Scher's telegram came, and within 30 minutes, he sank five battleships. Such brilliant results made Tirpitz very excited. The most important thing is that Scher has come. According to their previous location, Scher and Jericho's fleet was a little more than 10 nautical miles. In addition, what they attracted to them in half an hour was probably able to enter the attack range in half an hour.

21 vs. 18, plus the training advantages of Jericho's fleet, Jericho can always hold the upper hand. However, now, if the High Seas fleet adds 9 main battleships, it can still send 5 main battleships into the sea in half an hour, in a one-on-one situation, Tirpitz's heart immediately became enlarged. Not only did he formulate the next defensive counterattack plan, but he also formed an attack camp.

After almost 20 minutes of fighting, when it was confirmed that the Sher fleet was less than 12 nautical miles away from the main war zone, the high seas fleet suddenly changed its combat method, and its original dodging and fighting as the main combat method suddenly changed. When it retreated to a certain area, it began to form a unified camp and began to start the prologue of counterattack.

The German fleet suddenly changed its attitude. Not only did it stop dodging, but it became tougher. Logically speaking, Jericho should be happy. If the German fleet dodged like this, God knows how long it will take to catch the other party. Maybe there will not be too many opportunities from now until it is dark. Once it is dark, no matter how confident he is, it will not be easy to catch the other party. The dark night will give them a chance to slip away.

After preparing so much and paying so much, Jericho would not have to do such a result. Now the opponent has changed. As long as he is not running, with his confidence in the fleet, he can lay a victory in just a few hours. He may not be able to keep all the German fleet, but there is no problem in keeping a part of it and winning.

While excited, Jericho became more careful and sent a small team of light patrols to the direction of the Baltic Strait and then rushed towards the high seas fleet. He had to seize this rare opportunity and achieve the results he deserved.

The old-style battleship formations, the war between them, will never be completed in a short time. This is also the reason why Chief Jericho was very careful and did not think too much. Even if Scher's fleet is strong enough, it would be impossible to defeat the blocking fleet in a short time. He was so careful that he was more careful and more guard against accidents, and perhaps missed it because of the clouds and mists on the sea.

Because the Scher fleet knew the location of the high seas fleet, it directly reached its maximum speed. It only took half an hour to delay, and the two sides fought each other, which was at most 20 nautical miles. For the Scher fleet, it took only more than half an hour to enter the core area.

The light patrol formation that happened to hit the head. Although this light patrol formation had never seen the strength of the Sher fleet, the shapes of the nine main battleships have long been familiar with for so long. Four of them were enlarged versions of Orion. Such an obvious target can certainly be seen at the eye.

The previous brilliant record of the Sher fleet and accurate hits were simply a killer of small boats. The British fleet had a tactic of a large number of destroyers and light patrols running to the front of the main battleship formation, which had no effect on the Sher fleet at all. Instead of fighting for less than 10% of the luck, it would be better to retreat early.

Of course, they directly returned to the main fleet and informed Jericho of the arrival of the Scher fleet. Jericho was almost shocked when he received the news. He did not expect that the casual chess he arranged would have an effect. If it weren't for sending a light patrol formation, maybe the opponent would have really attacked the high seas fleet. Even now, the opponent would have formed a attack with the high seas fleet at a distance of 10 nautical miles.

Scher moved toward this side at a high speed of 12 nautical miles away. His purpose was very simple, to cooperate with the High Seas Fleet to kill Jericho's fleet. Although he sunk five battleships that blocked the fleet, if he could chew a bite of meat on Jericho's main fleet, he would definitely do it.

As the Scher fleet approached quickly, Jericho also saw the seriousness of the situation. Although he didn't know how the Scher fleet broke through the layers of defense and rushed to the front, with the Scher fleet, he dealt with 27 main battleships, 27 against 21, and 9 of them were powerful. It turned out that the Scher fleet on ordinary warships could be defeated. The loss in front of him would definitely be a big deal.

Although Jericho was not as talented as Betty, he could become the captain of the battleship, the commander-in-chief of the local fleet, and was not a reckless man. Seeing the Scher fleet and the high seas fleet pressing step by step, he almost immediately retreated. Although the British navy suffered huge losses, in Jericho's view, as long as the main battleship was not lost, it would not matter if the loss of other battleships was a little bit, at most it was the loss of personnel.

Jericho didn't know that Scher had sunk five warships in a short time, otherwise he would never have made such a decision. No matter what, the two sides had broken off from contact. In fact, in terms of strategic height, when Scher's fleet crossed the Baltic Sea and entered the battle group, the war was over, and Jericho headed towards the Swedish waters. With the current relationship between Sweden and the Allies, there was only one step left to join the Allies. Although the high seas fleet and the Sher fleet were powerful, they were not as powerful as ignoring the port defense.

When confirming that the other party was determined to go to the Swedish waters, they immediately avoided continuing contact. Both sides were very restrained, and even the attacks were far apart. However, some ships were slightly injured. Each side sank several small boats, and the remaining damage was not large. After the British turned, the Scher fleet did not continue to pursue, but instead met with the German high seas fleet, and the two sides broke off contact.

A large-scale naval battle triggered by the return of the Sher fleet came to an end here. The showdown among more than 70 battleships and hundreds of warships of all sizes ended with the failure of the British. Dozens of warships of different sizes, plus the main ships, had a total loss of hundreds of thousands of tons. The most important thing is the personnel. Sher's fleet aimed too quickly and the speed of sinking the warships was also extremely fast. For most of the time, there were few survivors. Even if the British were rich, more than 10,000 or nearly 20,000, it was a huge loss, even above the losses of the warships. (To be continued.)
