The rangefinder at the top of the battleship’s mast slowly turned to the German battleship that was firing in the distance. Under the background of the dark night, the fire of the battleship salvo was so conspicuous, relying on the light when firing, and the data of the German battleship model, the United Kingdom The warship quickly calculated the distance and azimuth between the two sides. With the Dreyer fire control system automatically completing the settlement and transmitting the data to the various gun positions, the British have completed the final preparations before firing, and a new armor-piercing projectile and tons of propellant packs were sent to the turret by the transporter. Internally, a few months later, the heavy artillery of the British battleship aimed at the enemy again!
And the British fleet's auxiliary warships are also moving quickly. Under the leadership of the two destroyer leaders, the two destroyer squads have already targeted the weak points of the German fleet and are ready to attack! Now, all Thomas wants to do is to get closer to the opponent!
"What seems to be in front?" At this time, a German 7th destroyer detachment that had just completed a lightning strike was returning from the front line. They circled from the east, preparing to replace the destroyer that was originally on the front of the main fleet, the latter’s torpedoes. Not launched yet. However, when retreating, the destroyer leader S119 at the head of the team found that there seemed to be something in the night directly in front of it!
"Long bow! Look at this captain, it seems to be a light cruiser!" When the two sides approached about 1200 meters, the destroyer S119 finally confirmed the identity of the other party! ——Definitely not his own! If it is a destroyer, then the destroyer S119 may hesitate a bit, but now, when it is determined that the opponent's ship is a light cruiser, then nothing needs to be considered! There are only two light cruisers in my own fleet, and the positions are clear, so now it must be the British light cruiser who sneaked over!
If you are a bit reckless, then the artillery shells would have lost their face now, and if you were more sensible, you must inform the main fleet before you fight! However, the destroyer S119 chose the third route. He first sent an early warning telegram to the main fleet. After this step, he was considered qualified. But then, the destroyer leader issued another order to his colleague. Ten seconds later, several destroyers at the end of the team began to sail eastward and gradually became hidden in the night!
Afterwards, Thomas felt what it means to fail! Just when the British fleet had sent the main artillery shells weighing hundreds of kilograms into the barrel, the leading German destroyer suddenly turned sharply in front of the British fleet, and at the same time pulled out a jet of black smoke!
"Hold the grass!" Looking at the German battleship that quickly disappeared into the smoke, Thomas seemed to have thousands of things called alpaca galloping past! Judging from the current situation, it is clear that the German fleet knows something! In the last moment of his raid, except for the fault, this fault is not fatal, because the destroyer can turn quickly, but it takes time for the capital ship to turn, and the smoke released by the German destroyer is very problematic in the emergency, and it will be quickly dissipated by the sea wind. Yes, and this is also the situation that Thomas considered at the beginning. Although there are some mistakes, it does not matter! Thomas comforted himself like this!
The fire control officers of the four British battleships immediately took measures. They adjusted the parameters a bit, and then decisively issued the firing order! At this time, the distance between the battleships of the two sides was between the distance of meters, and the British battleships almost evened the main guns, which made the hit projection area of the battleships very large!
Accompanied by violent shaking, the first round of the British fleet's salvo began! Forty large-caliber artillery fired at the same time, and orange flames burst out from the thick and long muzzle. The huge shock wave brought layers of waves on the sea. The muzzle flame instantly illuminates the entire British fleet, and the orange flames reveal the strongest presence of the British Navy in this sea area!
Hundreds of kilograms of armor-piercing projectiles flew to the distant German fleet at a speed of more than 750 meters per second. After only ten seconds, the four capital ships in the entire German fleet were shrouded in dense water columns! In this round of close-range attacks, the British fleet performed very well. The four battleships and three battleships formed a straddle!
"Fleet quickly evade! Release the smoke, we evacuate to the west!" Looking at the dazzling fire in the distance and feeling the boiling water next to the fleet, Earl Spey decisively ordered that when the British Dreadnought Fleet appeared in front of him, Earl Spey relaxed, and sometimes, waiting for a crisis is more uneasy than facing a crisis! The sudden appearance of the Thomas fleet is indeed a disaster for Earl Spey, but at the same time, the Earl also knows very well that the Thomas fleet is just a mantis that catches cicadas!
"Send a report to His Royal Highness, saying, I hope our losses and sacrifices can be exchanged for the beginning of the destruction of the British fleet! We will try our best to hold the British fleet!" Earl Spey said loudly. That's right, now Earl Spey is not thinking about how to evacuate his fleet from the battlefield, but to entangle his opponents so that Thomas's fleet cannot be evacuated! As long as it can survive the night, as long as the British fleet has not withdrawn to a safe area, once the sun shines on the North Sea again, then it will be the death of the British fleet!
Earl Spey is not afraid to sacrifice Now, both the large fleet and the high seas fleet are at a critical point. Both sides are very careful in the use of their own power. If you want to seize an opportunity to severely damage your opponent, then First of all, you must be prepared to pay the price! And in order to win, even if the price is his life, the earl will never hesitate! At this time, a calm, wise and sacrificial person is the most terrifying commander!
Therefore, in the face of the sudden blow from the British, Earl Spey did not choose to flee to the east, but turned to the west and sailed toward the depths of the Dover Strait! However, when caught off guard, the German fleet must first complete a 180-degree turn under the British crazy naval gun attack! At this time, the quality of the German High Seas Fleet was fully reflected. Unlike the previous pilot warships when the fleet turned, the remaining warships turned in turn. The 5 capital ships of the German fleet turned at the same time, completing the first in a very short time. The process of turning a ship into a tail ship, and turning a tail ship into a head ship!
But even so, in the 45-second round of the British salvo, the German fleet still paid a heavy price in the steering process! The battleship Caesar is the closest to the British flagship Bold! In the first round of the opponent's salvo, a straddle shot was formed. Although it tried to release smoke and began to accelerate its steering, in the fourth round of the volley of Bold, this poor former dreadnought battleship was still shot. !
