Chapter 241: The Strongest Battle Patrol (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"General, the Germans ran away. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
On the battleship 'Tiger', the British Navy immediately turned to Davy? Lieutenant General Betty reported on the situation.
"Damn, the Germans have discovered our 'Iron Duke-class' battleship." David? Lieutenant General Betty immediately noticed the problem and couldn't help but scold. Originally, he also wanted to rely on his nine battle cruisers to entangle the six battle cruisers of the German Navy, and the four 'Iron Duke-class' battleships to attack from the other side, in an effort to inflict heavy damage on the German Navy's broken fleet, and it was best to seize this opportunity to kill all the German Navy's broken fleet. In this way, even if they lost three 'King George V-class' battleships in this naval battle, they still won a great victory.
However, it now seems that there is no way for his plan to succeed. The German Navy had already seen through his plan. But how did the German Navy see through his plan so quickly, David? Lieutenant General Betty couldn't figure it out.
"General, we have German seaplanes above our heads. This was also confirmed by information sent from the HMS George V. A staff officer said with an ugly face.
David? Lieutenant General Betty's face suddenly turned black as if it was the bottom of a pot. It turned out that their actions were completely under the surveillance of the Germans, so it would be impossible to engage in any conspiracy at all, and they could only have a duel with the Germans in an upright manner.
"Order the fleet to speed up, not to let the Germans run!" David? Lieutenant General Betty ordered.
"Yes, General."
The nine battle cruisers of the British Navy accelerated the pursuit of the German Navy's broken fleet, and there was a great tendency that they would not leave all the German Navy's broken fleet.
On the other side, four 'Iron Duke-class' battleships were also preparing to intercept the German Navy's broken fleet. However, because of the speed, the likelihood of their success will be very low.
"Continue to accelerate, throw off the battleships of the British and pull their battlecruisers in circles. Report the situation here to General Scheer, and our 'De Fringer-class' battle cruisers should also go into battle. Lieutenant General Spee had a smile on his face.
"Yes! The British, thinking that they had ambushed nine battlecruisers and four battleships, wanted to eat us. I would rather see that in our; What kind of expressions will the 'D-Fringel-class' battlecruisers look like when they appear. Lieutenant General Hipperer also said with a smile. Everyone is full of confidence in the 'De Fringel-class' battlecruisers.
Indeed, the 'D-Verblinger-class' battlecruisers are definitely the most powerful battlecruisers in the world today. The only ones who can surpass him are estimated to be the 'Mackensen-class' battle cruisers that have not yet entered service in the German Navy. The 380 mm main gun, thick armor, and a speed of 27.5 knots made it the strongest battle cruiser in the world. Compared with the thin-skinned battlecruisers of the British Navy, it was simply overwhelming. Even, it is enough to compete with the most powerful battleship of the British Navy, that is, the 'Queen Elizabeth class' battleship that has not yet entered service. This is also the reason why the German Navy knew that this time it was a trap set by the British Navy, but it still had the courage to take the initiative to step in and calculate the British.
At this moment, outside the battlefield, by the commander of the German Navy's High Seas Fleet, Reinhardt? The 3rd Battlecruiser Detachment, consisting of three 'D-Verblinger-class' battle cruisers led by Admiral Scheer himself, was rapidly moving south. Because it has just been put into service, the performance of the warship can be fully brought into play. The speed of these huge warships has been increased to 25 knots, but there is still room for power.
Reinhart? Admiral Scheer stood in the conning tower with a smile on his face and seemed to be in a good mood.
There's really no way he's in a bad mood! In this operation, the German Navy had already gained a considerable advantage. At a small cost, the Breaker Fleet sank three of the British Navy's 'King George V-class' battleships, and also severely damaged the remaining one. This was already a rare victory for the German Navy. Before the official decisive battle between the two sides, the German Navy had sunk four capital ships of the British Navy and severely damaged one, so that the German Navy would probably not be inferior to the British Navy in terms of the number of capital ships.
And, the battle is not over yet. He believed that in the next battle, they would be able to achieve another victory. At that time, the gap between the two sides will be further widened.
"As long as we can inflict heavy damage on the British Navy in this naval battle. Then, we will thoroughly have the upper hand. When the time comes, it will be impossible for the British to retain their position as the supremacy of the seas. "Reinhardt? Admiral Scheer thought excitedly.
As the commander of the High Seas Fleet, who led the German Navy to this feat, his name will inevitably go down through the ages. And the thought of this, Reinhardt? Admiral Scheer was very excited.
"Generals, Admirals Spee and Hippers have called, they are leading the fleet to retreat in a northwesterly direction. The British sent nine battlecruisers and four battleships in pursuit of them. A communications officer reported.
"Nine battlecruisers and four battleships. The British sent out all their battle cruisers. What class of battleships were their battleships? "Reinhardt? Admiral Scheer asked.
"Judging by the appearance, it should be the British's 'Iron Duke-class' battleship." The officer replied.
"'Iron Duke-class' battleships? Plus the previous 'King George V' class battleships. The British can be regarded as sending out the main force of the navy this time! If all these main forces of theirs were lost here, then the British would have no hope for a decisive battle in the future. "Reinhardt? Admiral Scheer's eyes lit up.
Although, judging from the current comparison of strength, the British still have an advantage in the number of warships. However, the warships of the German Navy far surpassed the British Navy in terms of performance.
In Reinhardt? In the opinion of Admiral Scheer, this is definitely a great opportunity to further change the balance of strength between the two sides, and it must not be missed like this.
"Send a telegram to General Spee and General Hippel and let them drag the British battle cruiser formation. As for the battleship formations of the British, leave it to us to deal with! "Reinhardt? Admiral Scheer ordered.
"Yes, General."
