The Anglo-American fleet finally stopped evading, and the huge fleet began to unfold from the box-shaped formation, and a complete battle line slowly opened, like a giant dragon began to stretch its body! The accompanying frigates, like the claws and wings of a dragon, began to spread out in either direction according to their intended position. Watermark Advertising TestingWatermark Advertising TestingJericho has chosen a very good location, they have been as far away from the Norwegian coast as possible, reducing the strike power of German naval aviation to a minimum, and at the same time as close as possible to their own base and submarine cordon, so that they can get reinforcements at some point in the future! Jericho has done everything he can do, and the rest is up to the brothers!

"The commander of the German High Seas Fleet salutes the former sea hegemon!" Suddenly, a clear-code telegram resounded across the battlefield via radio waves. This telegram from the King was immediately received by the British. After receiving this telegram, Jericho's face changed slightly, and then he was relieved. "Scheer...... Are you that confident? Tell the sender to call back like this, and say that the commander of the Anglo-American Combined Fleet returned the salute to the commander of the German North Sea Fleet, Scher! ”

Before the two sides fought, there was a mouth cannon, which is probably extremely rare in the history of naval warfare. This clearly meant that after this engagement, the German High Seas Fleet would replace Britain as the supremacy of the sea. And Jericho's answer was not ambiguous, "You can't get out of the North Sea for the rest of your life, and you still have the High Seas Fleet?" Let's change the name to the North Sea Fleet! "His heart is damned!. …。

After the mouth cannon is over, the two sides are not talking nonsense, and they are ready to officially open the film! The German fleet chose a more suitable angle to start turning, and the remaining 17 super-dreadnoughts of the German Navy pulled out a long line of battle surrounded by auxiliary warships, and when both sides had completed their deployment, the two fleets directly began to sail in the same direction at a small angle. Scheer's idea is simple. Everyone just pulled the battleship away and bombarded each other as before, but the British didn't seem to plan to play like this! This time the British fought more aggressively and more decisively!

"If this is desperate!" Suddenly, the British fleet once again adjusted course. The angle between the two sides quickly widens. Led by the battleship of Vengeance. The entire British fleet rushed up with the overwhelming force of Tarzan! Not only the capital ships went up, but even the destroyers and light cruisers began to approach! In the first place. Scheer found out about this situation, but by this time the two sides had already exchanged fire, and the larger maneuvers would make the front school shooting and settlement fall short! So in the end, Scheer decided to keep course for the time being, and then talk about fighting!

It is also the most powerful existence of the two fleets. The 4 Bismarck-class battleships immediately came into contact with Frederick the Great and 5 revenge-class battleships. This was followed by York and Mackensen against two New Mexicos. Both sides fought with the determination to fight if they were not successful, and the situation of everyone standing still and keeping a distance in the past did not appear in this battle, and Jericho also ordered the fleet to get as close as possible so that the 15-inch guns could penetrate the heavy main armor of the Bismarck-class battleships! …。

In the face of Jericho's attack, Hipper was undaunted and fought to shoot fast. The number of artillery pieces is also too much, so why be afraid? Like two samurai who have given up their defenses, they use all their strength to strike at each other! Scheer gave Hippel a Frederick the Great battleship that did cause some trouble for Jericho, although the Caesar-class battleships were 108,000 miles behind the Vengeance-class. If you catch and fight, revenge teaches Caesar to be a man in minutes. But it was obviously not possible to let go in the battleship engagement, and when it came to allocating firepower, I don't know if it was because of a mistake or because of too much contempt for the battleship, the Royal Oak at the tail of the team did not attack the opposite Frederick the Great, but attacked the Saxony together with the Sovereign in front! …。

Frederick the Great was like a wolf in a pack of lions, two lions fought, and the wolf trembled, but suddenly found that the other party did not take care of himself but scuffled with another lion in front of him. A great sense of happiness came to the face, and the Frederick the Great used its own 8 small pipes to shoot rows of cannonballs at the Royal Oak not far away! At this time, the distance between the two sides is close to an astonishing 12km, plus the weather today is not bad, the observation and aiming state is very good, and the shelling and training are no different without interference! Having successfully pinched the opponent with a half-salvo, Frederick the Great abandoned the half-salvo customary of the German Navy and instead used a full salvo, and in almost less than half a minute, 8 shells flew towards the Royal Oak in the distance! …。

Soon, the Royal Oak, which was beating Saxony with the Sovereign, felt uncomfortable, and the hit of a cannonball made the world's first-class warship feel quite stressed. The two shells hit very close to each other by mistake...... Although the first shell did not penetrate after smashing on the main load, the violent impact still caused the armor plate to crack and displace. A gap of 2 square meters appeared on the waterline, and a subsequent shell smashed next to the crack! The violent explosion pushed a lot of shrapnel into the gap, and then hit the partition of the motor compartment behind the main armor, and some of the larger fragments penetrated the compartment, destroying part of the pipeline inside, causing some of the compartment to lose power.

And the other shell was also more deadly, after penetrating the almost unprotected upper deck, it smashed directly into the main level protection, of course, the shell at this distance could not have smashed through the main armor of the revenge class, but the problem was that this shell was hit by the main armor and hit the gun mount not far away. The thickness of the armor of the turrets was not the same, and it gradually weakened from top to bottom, and this shell hit the relatively weak part of the No. 2 turret. At this point, it was impossible for the projectiles with little energy left to penetrate the opponent's defenses, but the shock from the violent explosion still caused problems with the turret's ammunition lifting equipment! …。

In the confusion, the Royal Oak suffered a big loss, which made the British very dissatisfied! Tigers don't threaten you, do you think I'm a sick cat? Enraged, the Royal Oak immediately turned its gun and aimed at Frederick the Great in the distance, although there are only 6 15-inch guns that can be used at the moment, but at a distance of less than 12km, the 15-inch cannon is a bite for the Frederick the Great! Germany's early super dreadnought faced such an attack, but it was not good! Soon, the wild wolf who had just taken advantage of the fight between the two lions was beaten by the lion who turned around!

A 15-inch cannonball whizzed in, piercing Frederick the Great's sidestring armor like a spear. With a violent crash and a tooth-wrenching sound of metal breaking, the 15-inch cap-piercing bullet successfully pierced the Caesar's side chord. The original German ultra-dreadnought side-chord protection has finally been broken down! With this shell all the way down, it plunged into the engine room in the rear of the hull. The high-speed engine was blown apart in an instant, but fortunately, the engine room was also split into two, which destroyed half of Frederick the Great's power, and allowed him to keep up with his comrades in front of him.

As the saying goes, a rabbit bites when it is in a hurry, not to mention a wolf, the Frederick the Great, an angry wolf, was seriously injured and launched attacks on the Royal Oak again and again, but the artillery was still weak in the face of the armor inclined to 18 degrees at such a distance, and the Germans wondered, their own artillery had a chance to hit the same thickness of German armor at this distance, why couldn't this work? In fact, the reason is very simple, if you talk about the quality of armor, the British imperialist is still a little higher than Germany, whether it is World War I or World War II! The best performance of Krupp armor is only in the assumptions of some people in later generations. …………。

Soon the lion of the Royal Oak dealt a heavy blow to the opponent, two 15-inch shells hit the Caesar almost simultaneously, and one shell smashed open the Caesar's No. 3 turret. The two main guns were blown into twists, while another shell hit the stern of the Caesar, completely destroying the armored helm bay. In this way, Frederick the Great became a wolf with a broken leg, and although it was theoretically possible to maintain course by adjusting the speed of the propeller, one of the propellers had already stopped. So the wolf, who had provoked the lion, could only stagger after the fleet, and moved farther and farther away from the main force.

"General...... Frederick the Great has been badly damaged and is getting out of formation! An officer pointed to the battleship in the distance and reported loudly to Hipper.

"I know that. Hopefully they'll hold on for a little longer. Hippert said unusually calmly. Even from the expression, it is impossible to analyze what this veteran of the German Navy thinks! "In fact, since the beginning of the war, the fate of Frederick the Great has been sealed, and even the fate of the Goeben, who died on the eve of the decisive battle. They are not suitable for this level of combat, and all they can do is to restrain the opponent's energy or cause some damage before they die. They are of limited use. But it is essential, we have an advantage in the quality of a single ship, but there is one less in number, and the revenge-class battleships are very good, and we only have a chance to win if we catch the right fight! "Hipper is like a computer, calmly thinking about the strength of both sides, not only calculating the opponent, but even the warships in his fleet to be abandoned, and those warships to be retained are clearly calculated by him!. …。

The fall of Frederick the Great was only the beginning, the beginning of the fall of the gods! In this war. Those battleships that have experienced several battles and retreated will fight to the death today, in order to better kill the opponent, they have included the other party in their effective attack range, but at the same time, they have also entered the effective attack range of the other party, both sides can use the sharp blade in their hands to open the opponent's armor and then seal the throat with a sword. From this moment on, the gods of war of this era will no longer be invulnerable!
