The front second light cruiser formation can block the lightning strike ships that are attacking from the front. The battle lines are in front of the battle line, but the firepower weakness is actually weak. If the opponent's light cruiser and lightning strike ship are diagonally cut into the fleet route, it is difficult to sink the warship, but it can seriously affect the fleet's navigation and formation. In order to avoid lightning strikes, the fleet will inevitably maneuver, which may delay the opportunity to fight. The second light cruiser formation and a lightning strike brigade are to avoid the occurrence of this situation.&1t;/p>

The first light cruiser formation is located on the southwest of the main fleet on the side of the fleet, in order to block the opponent's attack as soon as possible when the opponent's destroyer strikes lightning. The third cruiser formation is located in the rear as a reserve.&1t;/p>

"The German fleet turns again, they are ready to fight!" An officer said, pointing to the steel dragon in the distance. At this time, the German fleet was like a dragon that had just woken up from his sleep and was stretching out his body. He opened his blood-red eyes and opened the claws made by steel and flames. He raised his noble head and turned to the direction of the enemy's attack. He longed for a battle, and he used his flames and claws to tear apart and dared to challenge his existence! At this moment, the most powerful blade of the German High Seas Fleet was finally unsheathed!&1t;/p>

Below the commanding flag of the battleship Bavaria, there is a shield printed in the middle, two lions on both sides, and a crown raised at the top. This flag with the Bavarian Kingdom emblem was temporarily decided to raise by Scher to express his support for the prince and his thanks for the construction of the German naval over the years. His unintentional action also made another legend. In the years after the First World War, the battle flag rose from time to time, and each time it would bring bloody storms to the enemy!&1t;/p>

Even to a certain extent, the popularity of the Bavarian royal heraldic flag and the shock it brought to the opponent was even greater than the Black Hawk flag of the future German Ocean Fleet! Because this later became the exclusive battle flag of Prince Ruprecht! Whenever this flag was raised, it could bring very cruel memories to the opponent!&1t;/p>

"Fleet plus, prepare to take the fight!" After completing the steering, the two British and German fleets transformed from the pursuit problem to the encounter problem... Originally, the distance of 4 kilometers was enough for the British to chase for half an hour, but now it took 10 minutes?! It took the German fleet only 5 minutes to complete the entire steering and marshalling. In almost the blink of an eye, the British suddenly appeared and the opponent came up!&1t;/p>

"The situation is wrong! This is definitely not the Hippel fleet!" 7 ships! A total of 7 main battleships appeared in Betty's field of vision. When the visual nerves fed back the amazing news to Betty's brain, Betty's pupils subconsciously contracted and turned into a needle-shaped needle that indicates danger!&1t;/p>

"How far is the fleet of Muir and Lieutenant General Geram's fleet?!" Betty realized how wrong his choice was. His blind pursuit led to only 4 battlecruisers facing the opponent's seven battleships. The distance between the two sides was shortened sharply. Just after Betty made this inquiry, Scher issued a fire order at a distance of 18ooo meters!&1t;/p>

The Bavarian-class battleship finally fired the first gun in World War I! Six battleships had 24 turrets, and a total of 48 guns quickly locked their targets under the guidance of the fire control systems of each ship. The Bavarian battleship took the lead in the first half-volley. The huge recoil made the cannon jump backwards, and flames that lasted more than ten meters long gushes out of the gun mouth, as frightening as the sword of the flame of the Holy Angel. Four shells weighing more than 8oo kilograms flew to the distance. More than ten seconds later, Betty's fleet was shrouded in water columns that were hundreds of meters high!&1t;/p>

"Fleet turn, cast smoke! Destroyer cover!" Even if you use your knees, Betty can understand that this is absolutely impossible to fight hard! The cigarette cans on the four battle cruisers began to pull out smoke. Under the leadership of the Lion, the four battle cruisers turned in turn. The British light cruiser formation, which had been accompanying the main fleet, braved the cannon fodder of the German fleet, made its first round of charge!&1t;/p>

Major General Pakenhan, commander of the Third Light Cruiser Detachment, led four light cruisers, Antrim, Devon, Argyle, and Colonel Nicholson of the First Destroyer, and the first destroyer, to take the first lightning strike in the battle! The four light cruisers formed the spearhead of the attack, and as many as 14 destroyers formed two columns. Under the roar of the steam turbine, these agile and sharp sharp swords came from the northeast of the German fleet with a flight of up to 26 knots! They wanted to use their lives and loyalty to make time for the main fleet to leave!&1t;/p>

"Prepare to fight!" The German second light cruiser formation located in the front of the fleet took the lead in rushing up under the command of commander Major General Bodick. This light cruiser formation is the pride of the German Navy. Four Frankfurt-class light cruisers equipped with 6 175mm heavy artillery and 1o5mm inclined armor belts were designed to crush the British light cruisers of the same class. The four light cruisers, Frankfurt, Pilao, Elbin and Wiesbaden, deviated from the course of the fleet with seven destroyers, and blocked the only way for the British light cruiser formation.&1t;/p>

At the same time, the Württemberg, Hesse and Oldenburg located behind also aimed at the British light cruiser formation in the distance. Because the British fleet released the smoke screen, the three German battleships at the rear guard could not observe the bullet point. So they simply did not waste shells and set their targets on the swarming light cruiser!&1t;/p>

The light cruiser formations of both sides approached quickly with a relative speed of more than 55 knots, which means that every minute passed, the distance between the two sides was about 1.7 kilometers shorter! The distance between the seemingly far 17 kilometers could be collided in less than ten minutes! In fact, in 5 minutes, the light cruiser at the front of both sides had already started to exchange fire!&1t;/p>

"Armor Piercing Bullets! Hit me hard!" Major General Bodick ordered that the three double-mounted 175mm artillery turrets of the Frankfurt have aimed at targets that are no more than 6 kilometers away!&1t;/p>

A series of roars echoed throughout the sea in an instant. With the help of servo machinery, the German dual-mounted 175mm cannon fired at more than 8 per minute! This fire was even much higher than the British 6-inch cannon! The latter's stable fire was about 6 per minute, and the Frankfurt attacked the opposite light cruiser like a legendary hell three-headed dog.&1t;/p>
Chapter completed!
