Chapter 1113 Maneuver
Although it was a bit far apart, the British fleet had already begun to shoot. In the distance, the sea and sky were connected, a series of shining flames filled it. In each case, the light energy captured hundreds of flashes. Hundreds of tons of shells fell 100 meters away from the high seas fleet after flying 20 kilometers. However, even so, the water columns of the shells still obscured the moving fleet. The endless explosion sound and the sea water falling like a storm still made the German fleet feel frightened!&1t;/p>
"It's okay, they can't hit us." Looking at the officers around him with a nervous look on their faces, the prince said relaxedly, hitting the target in 20 kilometers? There seems to be no record of the movements in the naval battle in the first battle!&1t;/p>
"His Excellency Commander, the German fleet sailed parallel to us, with a distance of 20 kilometers!" An officer reported to Jericho.&1t;/p>
"We basically couldn't hit them. And they were heading high in the opposite direction! There was a conspiracy!" said Lieutenant General Charles Madden, Chief of Staff of Jericho.&1t;/p>
"The fleet turns three prayer points southward. Let's copy them behind them." Jericho said as he looked at the German fleet that was about to stay away from him. With the flags and radio waves, the entire British main fleet quickly understood Jericho's orders. Under the leadership of five Revenge-class battleships, the British fleet began to sail southward. The originally straight fleet formed a huge and smooth arc.&1t;/p>
"It's great. I guess what I want to do, but unfortunately it's not fast enough!" The prince said. The prince originally planned to sail westward and then turn northward. In this way, the entire German fleet would go to the rear of the British fleet to launch a battle line. At the same time, because of the advantage of navigation, he could keep chasing. The British fleet would fall into a situation where he could not escape or defeat. Unfortunately, before the German fleet was launched, Jericho had already realized the prince's intention, and the fleet in front began to reversely encircle the German fleet, which made the situation much more complicated.&1t;/p>
"If our flight was faster, we might be able to complete the maneuver before the large fleet and launch the battle line." Schell said with regret. At this time, the average flight of the entire German fleet was around 22 knots. According to the Major General's wishes, if it could be increased to more than 25 knots, there would be a complete chance.&1t;/p>
"I really think we won if we occupy the position? It's not that easy. Today, I will definitely get an advantageous position, but the result is probably very different from what you imagined." The prince said with a smile.&1t;/p>
At this time, it would be easy if the German fleet wanted to leave. Just turn to the south. It was precisely because it could leave at any time that the prince was not in a hurry to go back. He wanted to see what would happen if the British were in a passive state. At this time, the German fleet adjusted its formation again and sailed towards the northwest. It still made the move to unfold at the back of the British fleet.&1t;/p>
"Let's hurry! Be sure to get fast! Let the revenge ahead be faster! Otherwise, it will be too late." Looking at the movement of the German fleet on the chart, Jericho became more sure of his judgment, and he asked the fleet to be faster!&1t;/p>
"If that is the case, the Revenge-class battleship will be separated from our team. The battleships behind us will sail up to 17 quarters!" said Chief of Staff Madden.&1t;/p>
"Let the second and fourth light cruiser teams and three torpedo boat teams cover Lieutenant General Bernie's squadron." Jericho ordered. At this time, Jericho had to attack behind the Germans before the German fleet launched a battle line. Because there was no fast fleet restraint, Jericho could only order the latest and fastest Revenge-class battleships to take the lead. However, in order to ensure safety, he still arranged enough cover for the Revenge-class.&1t;/p>
At this time, the British fleet, like a giant dragon, had formed a huge smooth line. The Revenge-class battleship like a dragon further improved its navigation and tried to attack the German warship from the rear!&1t;/p>
"The head of the British Fleet is about 27 kilometers away from us, and we are about 20 kilometers away from the tail of the British Fleet, and we seem to be one step faster." Schell looked at the four battleships of the Fifth Battleship Detachment at the tail of the Great Fleet in the distance, and fire almost popped up in his eyes!&1t;/p>
"The fleet turns to 16 prayer points! Heading to the southeast! Develop the battle line! Immediately! Immediately!" the prince ordered.&1t;/p>
"That would have collided with the front line of the large fleet! We might have hit their T-shaped heads directly! Why do you do this!" Schell said loudly with an incredible expression!&1t;/p>
"So you have to hurry up and execute the order immediately!" The prince ignored Scher's Chinese and immediately said to the commemorative officer next to him. After realizing that this was the order of the supreme commander, he decisively executed it!&1t;/p>
So, in today's encounter, the High Seas Fleet made its first 18o-degree turn, from heading northwest to heading southeast! The second battleship squadron, made the battleship Saxony, began to turn. Then the third battleship detachment, and then the team led by the prince. A total of 16 main battleships were connected in turn. In front of the British, the main force of the High Seas Fleet showed his heroic posture for the first time!&1t;/p>
Nine Bavarian-class battleships took the lead and headed towards the Revenge-class battleship. Then there was the Hurglan-class battleship, and finally the Hiper's express fleet. A 6-kilometer battleship was completed in less than 10 minutes. The dragon-like formation almost crossed the front of the Revenge-class battleship when it was complete!&1t;/p>
"Hold the grass!" Lieutenant General Bernie, who was commanding the five Revenge-class battleships, felt dark at that time! The Germans were moving too fast and too much as they expected! After a long time of trouble, they did not intend to chase the weak ships behind the large fleet, but directly locked their targets on themselves! At this time, the Revenge-class battleship had already opened at least 4 kilometers away from the main force of the large fleet behind!&1t;/p>
"The fleet turns to the northeast! All warships release smoke! Let's go quickly and inform Admiral Jericho that the enemy ships will sail southeast! Head to the southeast!" Lieutenant General Bernie almost roared to his subordinates.&1t;/p>
"Perfect calculation." At the same time, in the command tower of the Bavaria, General Schell, who was scared to death just now, finally breathed a sigh of relief. The situation is very good now. At the last moment, the German fleet took advantage of its aviation advantage and finally occupied the T-shaped horizontal head in reverse before the British fleet. At this time, the distance between the two sides was very good, with a distance of 17 kilometers between each other, and had entered the effective range of the German fleet.&1t;/p>
