Chapter 1,115 Taking the Wrong Side of the Sword 2

Chapter 1115 Taking the wrong path 2

The remaining two light cruisers successfully evacuated with scars all over their bodies. The 12 destroyers behind were divided into two teams and launched torpedoes at the German warships at almost the maximum range. This attack was not about killing the opponent, but about interfering with the opponent's actions. More than 30 torpedoes galloped across the sea, and the white marks were as unsettling as sharks. For this reason, the two leading German battleship squadrons chose to delay the turn and wait for the torpedoes to be fired.

However, the German light cruisers and destroyers did not intend to let the British go just like this. Like light cavalry on the battlefield, the 4 light cruisers and 8 destroyers assigned to the vanguard launched an attack on the British destroyer squadron that came up. The two sides started from 8 The distance of 1,000 meters has reached 1,500 meters! Even closer! Each other can see each other's expressions through the telescope. The destroyers were racing on the sea at a speed of more than 25 knots. Countless 150MM, 105MM and 88MM artillery shells formed a barrage that boiled the sea! In the absence of our own light cruisers, this was simply a one-sided massacre. The Arbitration and the Sea Urchin were the first two destroyers to be destroyed. One of them was directly killed by two 175MM high-explosive bombs, and the other one was hit by A torpedo hit and was blown to pieces!

In this fierce but short-lasting battle of auxiliary battleships, 4 of the 12 British destroyers were sunk on the spot, and the other two were paralyzed on the sea. A German destroyer also hit a torpedo and was blown up. Gotta smash. And before Rear Admiral Behnke, who commanded the Second Battleship Squadron, could take a breath, the British's second wave of lightning strikes came again!

The power of the Grand Fleet lies not only in the large number of main fleets, but also in the larger number of light cruisers and destroyers. It is also one of the important reasons why the Grand Fleet can dominate the world. It has already covered the British Second and Second World War ships that have withdrawn to a safe distance from the Revenge-class battleships. The Fourth Light Cruiser Division came back with a large number of destroyers!

The Second Light Cruiser Squadron led a group of destroyers and rushed towards the German Second Battleship Squadron, while the Fourth Light Cruiser Squadron led a group of destroyers towards the First Battleship Squadron where the prince's flagship was located! At this time, the three British battleship squadrons that had completed the turn also began to aim their guns at the German fleet in the distance. At this time, the two sides were 19 kilometers apart, which was still a long way away. The Germans did not dare to get close because they had to deal with the lightning strikes of the British destroyers. Naturally, the British did not dare to get close to the German fleet when there were only three battleship squadrons in the battle! The two sides are trying to avoid each other. Although the main gun fire has made contact, the threat is limited.

"Put a little more distance." He felt the slight vibration of the ship's hull when the artillery salvo was fired, and looked at the rising water columns on the distant sea level and the constantly shining fire where the water and the sky met. The prince calmly took a sip of coffee and said.

"Your current state doesn't seem like you're in a war." Scheer said with a hint of embarrassment.

"Can't you see the current situation? We can take advantage of it, but no one can do anything to the other.

We can run away at any time, but if we want to bite the British, we really don't have such a good mouth. "The prince didn't mind the offense in Lieutenant General Scheer's words at all.

"I said that I would definitely give the German High Seas Fleet a certain advantage in the situation, and I did it. But even if the situation is favorable, we still can't do anything to the Grand Fleet because their fault tolerance rate is too high! They There are enough light cruisers and destroyers to push us back beyond the effective range of the naval guns, and then wait for the main fleet to adjust its formation. You know, we can actually retreat by now, and there is no point in us continuing to fight. ”

What do you think of the current situation between the High Seas Fleet and the Grand Fleet? It's a bit like the undead orcs in War3 who hit two mines. There are already two mines, and the orcs with a good economy have enough money to exchange troops with you. It doesn't matter if you lose a match occasionally. If you go back and stay for two months, you'll be alive and kicking again. In this case, you can either continue to consume the opponent, or you can find the right opportunity and kill the opponent in a wave of 70 people! There is no other way.

In the battle between the two fleets, the prince can catch you, and he can tear off a piece of flesh if he catches you! But what about the Grand Fleet? So what if you can catch it? Can you bite? Of course, if you pull up 3 slow dreadnoughts and 6 quasi-dreadnoughts, you do have a chance, but this will drag down the speed of the fleet, and the risk is too great. This is just like unless it is a decisive battle, the undead rarely drag Like a ghoul harvesting wood, if he wasn't sure, the prince would rather use the fleet's high speed to play more conservatively!

Under what circumstances will the prince really compete with the grand fleet? Either he is relatively sure and drags his family with him, or the grand fleet is incomplete, for example, with the strength of a battleship squadron, don't look at it. Just missing these four ships, the situation is completely different. Don't think about the former for the time being. The so-called need to consider the overall situation. Look at the British main fleet and then look at the planes flying above your head. The British have the advantage in all aspects. The prince can't find a winning point at all. As for the second Do you want to order? This needs to be implemented slowly, it depends on the situation!

Fortunately, the German fleet is still quite strong. In the previous round of battle, two more British light cruisers were killed. Today, the number of destroyers lost by the British has reached 12, no more, no less, exactly a dozen. At this time, the British finally leveled the battle line. At this time, the two fleets were sailing southeast in an almost parallel attitude.

"Release the smoke, let's go!" the prince said after looking at the British fleet, which was nearly 21 kilometers away and had become a straight line. Everyone has drawn up the battle lines, and you still want to take advantage of the big fleet? What are you thinking about? Unless someone as reckless as Major General Hood in history comes out and runs directly into the range to attract firepower, it will be really difficult to sink the opponent. And the Hood of this plane? It seems to be much smarter than in history, at least now, the prince suddenly discovered that there was no sign of Major General Hood's battlecruisers on the entire battle line...

Seeing that there was no advantage to be taken, the German fleet began to accelerate its withdrawal from the battlefield. The speed of the entire fleet quickly increased to more than 24 knots. This was already a speed that the British could not catch up with. The German fleet gradually surpassed the British fleet, sailed all the way south, and subconsciously opened the distance. The current situation is that both sides can observe the smoke emitted by the other side, but cannot bring it into the effective range.
