"Oh God! Can anyone tell me what's going on? A staff officer said, looking at the two German light cruisers that were being besieged.

"We're in big trouble." Hipper's pale-blue face indicated his current state of mind. "Major General Baker actually didn't mention the British battle patrols in the telegram?" A staff member next to him was full of complaints. Hipper's fleet crashed headlong under the guns of the British, and this was definitely a tactical mistake, and since it was a mistake, then someone had to take responsibility. Obviously, Rear Admiral Baker, as the avant-garde fleet, failed to inform himself of such important information, which was obviously a dereliction of duty!

And this time, it was really wronged Rear Admiral Baker, not that Rear Admiral Baker didn't want to report, but because in last night's engagement, the radio transmitters of the two light cruisers were destroyed, and although the two Runne-class ships wanted to send a report, but in today's engagement, one of them broke down, and the other could not be used because of the vibration, so this vital telegram was not sent!

"Let's go." Look at the smoke column in the distance...... Hipper said categorically. Although it is not very clear, Hipper can feel that the other party's fleet must be much larger than his own, and he may be followed by the British Grand Fleet, if Hipper dares to stay, even if it is only for a few minutes, maybe there will be warships damaged and damaged. And the result of the slowdown is death! Under the influence of the morning fog, the distance between the two sides when they found each other was only about 16KM, which was close to the range of naval guns. If you don't leave, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave..........

"His Majesty the Kaiser asks us to achieve a victory in the shortest possible time, this victory is not such an inconsequential matter as sinking a few light cruisers, as we have done, we need to sink the capital ships of the other side to show our strength, only then will the Italians stand firmly on our side. Today is an opportunity. And you gave the order to retreat. Hipper's ship, Captain Meyer, the captain of the Seydlitz, whispered. This is a critical moment, if not grasped properly. Then it will have a great impact on the entire battle situation and on the future of Hipper!

"The strength of the other side is much stronger than ours, and fighting in this situation is tantamount to killing ourselves." Hipper only thought about it for a dozen seconds before rejecting his subordinates' proposals. Judging by the current situation, plus the British light cruiser formation that was almost completely annihilated last night, the British have committed at least three light cruiser formations in this sea area. According to common sense, it is already very good that a main army detachment can be equipped with a light patrol, and the Germans are a fleet of patrol and a capital ship formation with a light patrol. Although the British are tyrants. But it is absolutely impossible to equip a detachment of the main forces with up to 12 light cruisers! Therefore, Hipper's conclusion that the strength of the other party is definitely not weak..........

Hipper's belligerence. But it's definitely not stupid, in Xu Jie's plane, in the Battle of Dogger Sandbank, Hipper's three battlecruisers and one armored cruiser ran into Betty's five battlecruisers and turned around and ran, so the Blucher was left behind because of defense and speed problems. The situation is worse now than it was then. Hipper already sensed that the other side had at least 2 detachments of capital ships, and the light cruisers were more than 4 times his own. If you leave late, you really won't be able to leave!

So, despite the advice of his subordinates, Hipper resolutely ordered the fleet to immediately turn to. But God seemed to be at odds with the Germans today, and just as the Hipper's fleet was turning, the British finally saw the uninvited guest, and at this moment a sea breeze blew. The mist that permeated the sea finally disappeared under the action of the sun and the sea breeze, and in the sun, Hipper's fleet was exposed to the guns of the British! …。

There is a saying, how do you say it? Happiness came too suddenly, at this time Betty seemed to have been hit by an oversized pizza, so that he felt a little in a trance for a while, the Germans actually "generously" sent a fast fleet after giving him two armored cruisers? That's 4 fast warships! There are only 2 in the UK! All the fast warships of the German Navy are here! …。

"Tell everyone that Great Britain wants every man to do his due diligence in this battle!" And so. Betty shouted a phrase that was quite similar to Nelson's! And this passage was quickly transmitted to the other warships through the flag! The British, whose morale had just skyrocketed because of a victory, exploded! The British fleet automatically launched a big move to chase and attack! Eight British battlecruisers rushed towards the Hippert fleet like drugs, and when they were still 15KM away from the target, the Lion and the Tiger were already unbearable! Accompanied by the signal lights of the artillery ready, the first salvo began!

This time...... The British, with even greater zeal, inflicted a brutal onlooker on the German fleet! Eight battle cruisers rushed forward at speeds of up to 22 knots, the relative speed and navigation of the two sides were constantly changing, and the Germans had just completed their turn. Before the speed of the voyage could be added, the British accelerated directly after successfully knocking out the two ships, and the distance between the two sides quickly narrowed. The acceleration of a battleship is not a sports car, and the speed is up. The Germans threw away their opponents, but they were very miserable, for the simple reason that the speed was slower than the others, and even if everyone was racing fast, the speed of the two German versions of the Rontai-class battleships was almost the lowest among all the participating ships! …。

Look at the dense columns of water around the side of the ship and the incessant sound of explosions. The German officers and men who participated in the duel of capital ships for the first time knew that this was a real war, not a model and table in a war game! Cannonballs hit people to death! No, one shell from the Lion passed over the two battleships behind. Plunged directly into the side of the Moltke, accompanied by a bright yellow flame, this shell penetrated through the upper deck, and then the huge explosion directly turned several cabins into a sea of fire, and more than a dozen German officers and soldiers who could not dodge were directly cremated, and not even a single intact corpse was left.

"The destroyer formation releases smoke and prepares to launch a lightning strike!" At this time, Hipper was also very anxious to see the British fleet getting closer and closer, and several warships tried to fire back, but because of the wind direction, a large amount of smoke and gunpowder smoke came to the face, which greatly reduced the observation conditions. To do this, he had to assist the battleships to buy time for himself, and several torpedo boats broke off from the formation and rushed towards the British fleet like a pack of hungry wolves, while the other battleships began to release smoke to cover the fleet's withdrawal!

Soon, the destroyer detachment, together with the British, interpreted the connotation of two idioms, one called self-destruction, and the other was heroic and fearless (is this an idiom?). ）。 Four destroyers were speeding down the S-shaped track on the sea. Trying their best to avoid the opponent's secondary artillery, they trudged hard in a rain of bullets, trying to send themselves to a distance of 3KM, but the British didn't give them a chance at all, and they didn't even need the help of light battleships, Betty was afraid that the light battleships would block the route and hinder the pursuit! The 6-inch and 12-pounder guns on the Lion and Tiger envelop.........ed the German destroyers like impermeable fishing nets.

Soon, a series of explosions came from the sea. Shrapnel exploded in the air, and shrapnel the size of half a fist rained down on the German destroyer, which was undoubtedly fatal for a destroyer with almost no armor protection, and when a destroyer was covered by a rain of bullets that came from a fan, the personnel on the bridge were already sentenced to death. The shrapnel penetrated the bridge without hindrance, and then beat everyone inside to a blur of flesh. And after the high-explosive shell hits, it can directly gnaw off a large piece of the superstructure, or make a large hole in the side chord. With just one hit, there is a risk that the destroyer will lose power. In the end, the German destroyers were directly torn to pieces by the dense rain of bullets, so that in the end, not a single battleship fired a torpedo! …。

"They were all in the direction of the British fleet when they finally sank, there were no deserters among them, they did not flinch in the face of the threat of death, they were not discouraged, and their courage deserved the respect and praise of anyone. Even if we are enemies! Afterwards, a British officer expressed his high appreciation for the courage of the German torpedo boat formation.

However, at this time, most of the British officers and soldiers did not have time to show their respect for their opponents, and after casually cleaning up these miscellaneous fish, the British suddenly found that the target in front of them was blocked by a thick smoke screen...... Nothing could be seen clearly, even the slender hull of the German battleship loomed in the smoke, not to mention the continued attack power, and even the opponent's trajectory could not be determined. The pursuit can't be chased ..........

"Damn Hipper, like a cunning squid, broke a wrist to stall for time, and then spewed out a huge cloud of ink to interfere with our tracking!" At this time, Betty didn't know how to diverge her thoughts to the squid, anyway, no matter what happened. The British offensive was like an iron fist hitting the cotton in an instant, and they couldn't find the point of focus! This annoyed Lieutenant General Betty!

"Hipper should have continued to run away." Betty looked at the smoke in the distance and said, it is naturally not good to rush over, maybe there are a few destroyers hidden under the cover of the smoke or something. If you get closer, you can get yourself a torpedo, but it's sad. So, Betty ordered the fleet to turn left half a way to the Classics. Spare a little and continue the pursuit in the same direction. At the same time, the light cruiser fleet was ordered to open the search formation and expand the search area.

And what is Hippert doing at this time? Did you really continue to run away as Betty wanted? Or is there some other scheme? Under the shroud of smoke, the whole battle situation suddenly became a little confusing.
