Chapter 2219： Encounter one

"I saw the main force of the British fleet! The distribution of their formation is like this. Thomas' Queens are at the forefront. Not far behind is Hood's battlecruiser. The latter seems to be closer to Thomas and then Jericho. The large fleet, 21 battleships are there, they are arranged in a rectangular battleship, from north to south are the Vengeance-class battleships, the Iron Duke-class battleships, the Orion-class battleships, and two dreadnought squads." One flew over the British fleet. The nearby German seaplane reported the British battle to the High Seas Fleet.

At the same time, several British seaplanes also flew near the high seas fleet. Although they were quickly destroyed, they still sent some telegrams before they were destroyed.

"The German painting is a bit strange? What do you mean?" Jericho frowned slightly when he looked at the last sentence in the telegram, but he obviously didn't have time to think about what the so-called strange painting meant before the battle. Focus on the formation of the German fleet.

is similar to the British fleet. It is also a fast fleet, forming an independent squadron, followed by a main fleet in a rectangular arrangement. What surprised Jericho was that before this decisive battle, Ruprecht did not give Hipper any strengthening! Just 4 battlecruisers alone.

"I really don’t know if you are self-confident or arrogant? But no matter what, we have gained a huge first-hand advantage! Can’t you think of it? When you didn’t strengthen the Hipper fleet, I put my last fast fleet And almost all of the aviation power was given to Thomas!" Admiral Jericho said with some pride in his heart.

Although Ruprecht is an enemy, in his heart, Admiral Jericho still has full respect for the man who created the Bavarian legend and pushed the German military to the top, and may not show it to outsiders. But now, he seems to have caught a very big loophole in the opponent! A sincere smile from the bottom of his heart appeared on Jericho's face.

"General, you seem very happy?" an officer said.

"Yes, I am very happy. Our enemy is clever, but he was confused at the most critical moment!" Jericho said with a smile: "I think that at this moment, God is blinding the other side's eyes and will win. The laurel crown was worn on our heads."

"Give Thomas an order. He now has the right to decide his actions. When the two fleets are close to a certain position, he can take the initiative to attack! First concentrate the firepower to kill the Hipper fleet, and then suppress the high seas fleet's course and speed!" Jie Rico ordered to send a report to Thomas!

"Order the fleet to speed up, send a report to General Hood behind, and let them follow us closely. Don't get too close to the monsters in Germany!" After receiving the telegram from Jericho, Thomas decisively ordered.

At this point, Thomas, who already knew the formation of the German fleet, had a general understanding of how the German fleet was deployed. It was nothing more than the Hipper fleet in front, and then the five battleship detachments of the main fleet were deployed in sequence, and from the perspective of position, 3 A Bavarian-class battleship detachment is clearly at the forefront.

This is not good news for Thomas, because Hipper is followed by Bavarian-class battleships. If necessary, Bavarian-class battleships provide cover, Thomas may be fine, but Major General Hood is miserable. Up! The weakest battleship of both sides has run into the edge of the strongest battleship. Perhaps the existence of the Hood fleet can only be calculated in minutes, right?

But this also gave Thomas some peace of mind. After all, if the German high seas fleet on the opposite side puts up a formation full of holes, then Thomas will think that the other side will have any conspiracy and tricks. After all, this plane does not have any aura of wisdom. of! But now, Thomas feels relieved that the German fleet has put in this modest formation, because although the Hipper fleet has not been strengthened, it can be supported by the Bavarian-class battleships in the main fleet at any time.

In fact, Jericho had already thought of the formation of the German Navy, which has a weaker artillery capability. Therefore, in order to contain the fire support of the four Bavarian-class battleships next to the Hipper fleet, Jerry The first battleship squadron after the launch of the HKUST fleet is the Vengeance-class battleship! Use the best frontal battleships in the British fleet to offset the effects of the 4 Bavarian-class battleships, thus winning the best battle conditions for Thomas!

"Finally, the order of expansion of our fleet is Thomas Fleet, Hood Fleet, First Battleship Squadron (4 Revenge-class battleships), Second Battleship Squadron (5 Jericho's fleet), and Third Battleship Squadron (Orion Class) 4 battleships), and the fourth and fifth battleship squadrons!"

"Thomas fleet and Hood fleet concentrated their forces to take down the Hipper fleet, the first battleship squadron against a Bavarian squadron, the second battleship squadron against a Bavarian squadron the third battleship squadron and the fourth battleship squadron were free. Assign targets. The Fifth Battleship Squadron stares at the end of the opponent!" Before the battle, Jericho and his staff considered the battle sequence and the sequence of engagement for the last time.

From the perspective of this plan, the British fleet fully guaranteed Thomas’ superiority. The response of the sub-squadrons in the main fleet was at best a balance of power. In some places, there were even obvious loopholes, such as the third battleship squadron and the fourth battleship. The 5 super fearless and 3 fearless squadrons have to face 4 Bavarian-class battleships, 3 Helgoland-class battleships and a modified battleship similar to the Helgoland-class battleship. This is an absolute disadvantage. ! Even if Jericho's 5 super-fearless team fights 4 Bavaria, it is also a huge disadvantage. Perhaps less than ten minutes after the war, the British fleet will sink. But there is no way. This is war. In the case of equivalent strength, when you pierce the opponent's throat, the latter will also give you a fatal blow!

Actually, in Jericho’s battle plan, including his own flagship Iron Duke, all other battleships can be lost on the battle line except for the Queen-class battleship, the Vengeance-class battleship, and the Humorous fast battleship! The main force of the large fleet actually uses itself as a bait to attract the opponent's strongest strike force!

"What is the British doing?" At this time, Ruprecht also learned about Jericho's deployment through aerial reconnaissance. There may be many differences between the two sides, but one thing is the same. Contempt of time!
