Chapter 876: The Most Threatening Wave of Counterattacks

"Even if our allies are in a desperate situation, it does not mean that my fleet can be easily put in danger, naval battles always require decisive force to intervene, and I don't think we have that strength until we join up with Admiral Hood's fleet. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info"After the war, someone found such a record in the battle log, and this made Lieutenant Jeram one of the focal points of controversy after the war.

Rear Admiral Hood, with four battle cruisers, the Invincible, Indomitable, Indomitable, and Indomitable, hurried to catch up with Vice Admiral Jeram's fleet and expressed his willingness to accept the command of the vice admiral. And by this time, with 8 capital ships in his hands, 4 of which were super dreadnought, Jerram finally thought that he had the capital of a war, 8 warships! 40 13.5-inch guns and 32 12-inch guns, although you can't penetrate the opponent, you can drown with shells!

"We were in front, General Hood's fleet was behind, two battleships attacking one, and when entering the battlefield the formation spread out from a double formation into a battle line. Ships keep their distance, our armor is not reliable! Vice Admiral Jeram's order was quickly transmitted to the entire fleet by radio and flags, and at this time the British reinforcement fleet was sailing in the direction of the coast, and with the Victorian gray livery of the battleship itself, the shadow of the ship was hidden in the background.

The formation of the double column sailed as much as possible to shorten the length of the fleet and reduce the probability of being detected at a long distance, and the British hid themselves as much as possible. At this time, the battleships Saxony and Bavaria were concentrating their fire on the Warrior, preparing to sink the queen with a large number of shells. The Baden is wrapping its wounds. And the other 4 battleships are fighting two Moore fleets and the Tiger with no pairing.

The timing of Lieutenant General Jeram's choice is very good! By this time, the battle had been going on for about 2 hours, and both sides had suffered a lot of consumption in the constant pursuit, and the situation of 7 German battleships was far from the peak. The drop in speed and ammunition reserves is striking. And at this time, Jeram's 8 capital ships were in place! The British finally delivered the most threatening counterattack of the campaign!

"The fleet opens the battle line!" The battleship Saxony could be clearly seen in the distance from the rangefinder of the battleship George V at the head of the team, and the Germans did not seem to have noticed the arrival of the British fleet, and the turret and rangefinder of the Saxony were still aimed at the Warrior in the distance.

General Hood's 4 battlecruisers slowed down further, 4 George V-class dreadnoughts began to accelerate and began to turn, and when the last battleship of its class, the Erling, tried in front of Hood's flagship, the Invincible, the Invincible quickly followed, and the 8 ships formed a complete battle line, and the distance between them was slightly adjusted.

"Prepare for battle!" When the signal flag was raised, the eight British battleships adjusted their targets one last time, with the George V and the Ajax aiming their guns at Saxony, then the Centurion and the Erling aiming their guns at Bavaria, the Invincible and the Indomitable aiming their guns at the Baden, and the last Indomitable and Indomitable at Württemberg. As for the three battleships in the back? It was ignored for the time being, there was no way, the angle was not good, it was not easy for the British to hit the opponent, and it was not easy for the opponent to concentrate firepower on the British. What's more, these 3 battleships and the 4 British battleships on the opposite side can be taken care of, Jerram thought so.

"Fire!" The battleship George V, which was in the middle of the queue, first spewed out five long tongues of fire, followed by Ajax, Centurion, Erin, ....... In a very short period of time, the British fleet fired nearly 100 rounds of shells, a series of fireballs and gunpowder smoke rose from the sea, dozens of tons of shells whistling towards the German fleet in the distance, and the screaming sound of the shells crossing the air at high speed was not heard until after the first wave of shells fell into the water.

In an instant, dozens of water columns tens of meters high instantly obscured the front of the German fleet!

The British fleet fired without interference, and if it weren't for the fact that the course of the two sides was almost opposite and the rate of change in speed was somewhat large, such an attack environment could have been called almost perfect! Moreover, it was two battleships attacking one battleship, a whole 16 to 20 large-caliber guns were raining bullets at one target, and every minute, at least 10 tons of shells fell, and it was terrible to think about the scene in front of you!

"Cast the smoke and avoid it immediately!" When the third round of shells of the British had not yet fallen, the Saxony, which had realized that it was in a very dangerous situation, first began to release smoke, and then Scheer immediately chose to evade, at this time the German fleet was in a two-line battle, there were opponents on the left chord and starboard side, and judging from the fierce firepower of the opponent, Scheer even thought that he had hit the main force of the Grand Fleet! At this moment, Scheer really wants to let go!

"The British Grand Fleet is at least 2 hours away from us, this is definitely not the Grand Fleet, adjust and kill them!" The prince looked at the rising column of water on the sea in the distance, stood up, and said solemnly, Until now, the battle has just begun!

Twenty minutes earlier, the submarine forces had once again reported the position of the British Grand Fleet, which was still more than 100 kilometers away from the battlefield, and this distance and position were exactly in line with the course of the British fleet as presumed by the German naval staffs. And as long as the Grand Fleet is not there, the prince thinks that he can fully cope with the situation in front of him!

"What about even a big G with three offenses and three defenses? Our fighting power is a roaring bear! The prince didn't know why such a sentence suddenly popped up in his heart....... The George V-class super dreadnought is a little stronger than the likes of the lion and tiger, with 10 guns against 8 guns, which is 25% more firepower. 12-inch armor belt vs. 9-inch armor belt, it's not too much to say that it's three defenses against one defense, right? If the speed is removed, then Betty's Lion and Tiger is a big G with zero attack and zero defense, and Jeram's fleet is equivalent to three attacks and three defenses rising to a furious big G. And the Bavarians are not as terrifying as the Minotaurs in WAR3, but at least they are at the level of Roaring Bears! Of course, the premise is to complete the adjustment of the formation first.

Betty's fleet on the other side also seemed to see the hope of victory, and they began to shoot at the German ships with all the remaining guns, but at this moment, all the main guns that could be used together were not enough for 7! And 4 main guns from 7 different battleships? This TM can deal hairy damage! The German fleet ignored the attack on the other side, and looked at the scattered columns of water that fell far around it, and knew that if it could hit the target, the British could go and buy lottery tickets.
