"Order, the main fleet will speed up, the third destroyer formation will go to rescue the drowning, and after completion, the third destroyer formation can decide to stay at its own discretion!" At this time, Essen's heart was dripping blood, and the 4 main battleships that he regarded as treasures sank like this! Just now he was glad that he had crossed the minefield at a relatively small cost, but he didn't expect to rush out and encounter such an incident! At this time, Essen was not in the mood to consider whether it was a mine or a submarine, and the only thing he wanted to do now was to immediately enter the safe sea and search for German ships sailing in the Baltic Sea after dawn. The main German force is on the east side of Tallinn, and it should not be changed for a while!

Having sailed out of the minefield, the German fleet began to accelerate. The speed of more than 18 knots did not give the U9 any idea, but the first thing the U9 did after withdrawing from the position was to immediately inform the Russian main fleet of the entry into the Gulf of Finland. The incident also sparked some controversy after the war, with some arguing that it was the delay in Wendingen that caused the loss of the German temporary dock and several transport fleets in the Gotland Islands. They believed that in this case Major Wendingen should have informed Scheer at the first opportunity.

...... in this regard Major Wendingen's explanation is this, when the Russian fleet was just discovered, the distance between the two sides was very long, and he could not determine whether the Russian fleet in the distance was a small detachment or a large fleet, so he naturally could not report it, and the other problem was that he was about to launch an attack, and at this time, the signal was likely to be locked sideways by the other party's radio, which would startle the snake. And when he got close to the target, he confirmed that the identity of the other party had already dived underwater, so he naturally could not send a report, and after completing the attack, he wanted to report to the headquarters of the High Seas Fleet as soon as possible. Later, Wendingen's explanation was agreed by the Admiralty, and they agreed that Wendingen's actions were not wrong, on the contrary, because he sank one of the opponent's capital ships, so he also made a great ..........

"Oh God!" When the telegram from the U9 submarine was delivered to Scher. The head of the High Seas Fleet shook his hand and almost didn't throw the documents to the ground! It's just horrible! Scheer thought he had seen through Essen. But what I didn't expect was that at such a time of life and death. Essen would still play so actively and decisively! Rushing into the Gulf of Finland with a mortal heart, the Russian fleet at this time is like a mad bull, although it will die, but they will tear apart everything they can touch each other!

"The fleet immediately set sail and pursued at full speed along the safe passage opened by the realization! The detachments don't need to maintain formation, they are moving at full speed, the other side only has 3 capital ships, and the strength is not as good as one of our detachments! After saying this, Scheer immediately pursued at full speed with four Bismarck-class battleships and his subordinate detachment. Because of the advanced technology and the fact that they have just entered service, the maximum speed of the Bismarck-class battleships can reach about 24 knots! This is already quite not easy for a warship of more than 30,000 tons. In addition to ship type optimization. In addition to the stronger power and high propeller efficiency, there is another reason why this battleship can drive at such a high speed at this time. That's not much to load! At Hipper's request, the two remaining fast battleships of the German Navy, the Moltke and Goeben, would follow suit. As for the 8 battleships in the back, let them chase slowly! Timing is everything! …。

"The banner of St. Andrew's will fall into my hands! Essen! Scheer roared in his heart, with the new signal raised on the flagship Bismarck, the main force of the entire German fleet was divided into two parts, and the faster one sailed west according to the same lane of the pre-opened ship under the cover of two light cruiser formations, and Scheer knew very well that no matter how fast he was. Nor can we get any definite news from the Russian Navy before dawn. Only during the day, when the airship can move, can the position of the Russian fleet be determined relatively quickly. At the same time that Schell led his troops to pursue the Russian fleet, the High Seas Fleet also quickly withdrew to the south by radio and other means to the German ships sailing in the Baltic Sea, but because of the lag in information and backward means of communication, many German ships did not receive this order. And when the Russian fleet suddenly slaughtered in front of them, the result can be imagined! …。

Let's not take prisoners and kill everything we can get our hands on! The Germans ruined our country, and we have to make the Germans pay the price of blood before we die! In Essen's eyes, the tsarist government, with all its faults and sins, was Russia's own government. And the Provisional Government established under the bayonets and support of the Germans was a puppet of the Germans, an instrument of the Germans to rule Russia! …。

The first convoy that the Russian fleet encountered was the flotilla responsible for transporting supplies to the German army in the Tallinn area, a total of 5 ships of different sizes, covered by two destroyers...... It was only after the flares enveloped the entire fleet that the Germans realized that something was wrong, and at first the two destroyers tried to identify themselves through contact, because the German officers and men on board really did not expect the Russian fleet to come here!

This fleet became the first casualty, and in less than ten minutes, the Russian fleet sent all its targets to the icy bottom of the sea with secondary guns. Subsequently, instead of rescuing the people who fell into the water, the Russian Navy moved on, searching for the next target! At dawn, the Russian fleet found one of the most valuable targets of the trip, and two troop carriers, escorted by a former dreadnought, rushed to Tallinn with 2 regiments of German Army 1st class corresponding weapons. In the face of this prey, Essen did not relent. Under the attack of two super dreadnoughts, this German dreadnought was torn to pieces by heavy artillery fire, and then, the two transport ships and thousands of German officers and men on board were wiped out by fierce fire, and the Russian fleet hit this part like an angry lion, no longer thinking about the consequences of doing so, only how to inflict more damage on the opponent! …。

On the morning of the next day, the Russian fleet finally arrived at the German temporary dock on the island of Gotland, where the Russian Navy poured a deadly rain of bullets on the busy harbor, the various ammunition and supplies piled up on the harbor, and the people who were busy in the harbor were reduced to ashes in the ferocious artillery fire. And at this time, when the actions of the Russian fleet were at their peak, a large cigar smoke flew from the northeast, this airship was undoubtedly German, and the telegraph on the airship was constantly magical, and there was only one content, that is, to make the Russian fleet surrender!

"Prepare for the last battle! The main German fleet will soon find us! Essen said calmly, and then the entire Russian fleet sailed in the direction of the Gulf of Riga, which was the focus of the German attack, and it was supposed that it would be possible to run into some transport ships or old warships. Essen wanted to try his luck.
