The first thousand and forty-three chapters are all killed
Thirty nautical miles east of the sea where the German fleet and the British fleet fought fiercely, the fleet was patrolling at low speed in this area. The fleet consisted of eight battleships and four heavy cruisers and more than twenty light cruisers and destroyers.
While the British Navy and the German Navy were fighting fiercely, they were quietly waiting for opportunities in this area of sea.
This fleet is William, commander of the U.S. Navy's East Coast Fleet.
The U.S. Expeditionary Fleet led by Admiral Benson. This fleet consists of four Pennsylvania-class battleships, four
'Nevada class, battleships and four Philadelphia class, heavy cruisers. They will be used as fleets to intercept the fleeing German navy during this naval battle. Of course, if the British navy cannot defeat the German navy and is defeated by the German navy, then
They were nothing. They could leave the North Sea immediately and return to the United States to avoid losses. Fortunately, the development of the naval warfare did not deviate from their expectations. Although the British Navy suffered a great loss, overall, the British Navy
Still won.
"General, the British fleet calls, and the German fleet is fleeing northeast. General John Jelico hopes that we will intercept the German fleet, and he will lead the British fleet to pursue!" A staff officer handed the telegram to William.
Admiral Benson.
"Have the British won? It seems that we have already won this naval battle!" William.
Admiral Benson said with a smile. The British Navy defeated the German Navy, which is also very beneficial to the US Navy. At least, when the US Navy faces the Chinese Navy in the future, after receiving assistance from the British Navy, the US Navy will
More confident.
"Damn it! The German Navy still has 19 battleships! We only have eight, let's intercept 19 battleships. Wouldn't that die?" When William.
When Admiral Benson began to read the telegram, he couldn't help but curse. In order to prevent the US Navy from being known to other countries, William.
Admiral Benson did not bring many battleships this time. Originally, he thought the British Navy had eliminated the main force of the German Navy, but he did not expect that the main force of the German Navy was still there! He asked him to lead 8 battleships to intercept the 19th of the German Navy.
If the timing is not determined, the battleship may be swallowed up by the German Navy in one bite.
"General, what should we do? Should we go north to intercept the German Navy?" asked the staff officer. Obviously, this is very risky for the US Navy. Especially the four German Navy's Bavarian-class battleships, battleships
They still have combat power. If the British Navy cannot arrive in time, it will be a disaster for the US Navy.
William.
Admiral Benson was also a little hesitant. If he did not cooperate with the British Navy, their cooperation would be broken. In the future, it would be impossible for the United States to resist the Chinese Navy with them. In addition, the only way is to eliminate the German Navy.
Only after the main force of the United Kingdom’s Navy was able to withdraw its hands and devote itself to other places, such as Asia. In this way, the pressure on the United States will be much less.
"Send a telegram to the British and we will immediately intercept the German navy. However, the British navy must catch up quickly. If they deliberately delay time, we will retreat immediately!" William.
Admiral Benson said. He was afraid that the British would want to kill people with a knife, so he pointed out this point specifically. If the British Navy really had such an idea, he would lead the US fleet away immediately. I believe the German Navy, who was in a hurry to return home, would not be
The British would be entangled with them. At that time, the same loss would be the British. Without destroying the main force of the German Navy, the British Navy would have to shrink the main force of the navy to the local area, making other places empty and giving the enemy a chance.
"Yes, General!" The staff officer nodded and immediately asked the communications soldiers to send the telegram to the British fleet.
Then the US Expeditionary Fleet began to speed up and headed directly to the north. According to the intelligence provided by the British side, the German fleet was sailing northeast. In this case, it is expected that they would encounter the German Navy in one hour of command.
When John.
Admiral Jelico received William.
When General Benson sent a telegram, the British Navy's light cruisers and destroyers were fighting fiercely with the German Navy's destroyers. On the sea, guns rumbling and torpedoes ran around. The British Navy's main battleship was avoiding the German Navy's lightning strike.
The main fleet of the German Navy has begun to retreat. However, in order to grasp the whereabouts of the German Navy, the British Navy has also sent many light cruisers and destroyers to follow.
"Damn it, it seems that the Americans cannot fight the Germans to the death. Send telegrams to the ships. In order to avoid the Germans' lightning command, they immediately re-formed and chased the Germans. They cannot let them run away!" John
..
Admiral Jelico ordered that he originally planned to slow down the pace and let the German Navy fight with the US fleet first. However, William.
Admiral Benson said it very clearly that if the British fleet could not arrive in time, they would retreat. Although the British Navy won the victory in this naval battle, it was not eliminated by the main force of the National Navy. Once these 19
The battleship fled back to Germany, and the battleships and battlecruisers that were severely damaged and retreated from the battlefield first, the main force of the German Navy still existed and could still pose a serious threat to Britain. In this way, for Britain, this victory would be
Imple perfect. Only by annihilating the main force of the German Navy and driving the German Navy with the cooperation of the US fleet, can the British Navy achieve a perfect victory!
The tonnage of destroyers and light cruisers is relatively small and the armor is relatively weak. Although the caliber of the guns is also relatively small, the intensity of the battle between them is no less than the firing speed of the rapid-fire guns between the main battleships.
Faster and can cause great damage to the weak hull of destroyers or cruisers. The German Navy's destroyer squadron launched a desperate attack on the British fleet, while the British Navy's destroyers and light cruisers were desperately trying to resist the German Navy.
Otherwise, once these destroyers approach and launch torpedoes, it is likely to cause great damage to the main ship.
Because the sky had dimmed, although the British Navy's destroyer squadron and light cruiser squadrons adopted strict interceptions, in the melee, many German Navy destroyers successfully broke through their interceptions, approaching the UK
The navy's main battleship commanded and fired torpedoes. Although the British Navy's battleship launched an emergency evasion in the end, some warships were still hit. Fortunately, they were only severely damaged and were not sunk.
At 8:20 pm, the British Navy's main battleship had avoided the German Navy's lightning strike, re-formed the battle line, and chased the German Navy at a speed of 18 knots. In the lightning strike of the German Navy just now
The British Navy had only Giant, and the battleship of the USS Giant was hit by a torpedo and was severely damaged and had to withdraw from the battle.
In the night sky, stars dotted, and the bright moon hung in the sky, sprinkling a white moonlight on the sea. If it were normal, some people would probably praise the beauty of the moon and the brightness of the moonlight. But at this moment, the German Navy
The generals were so angry that they cursed. How much they hoped that the moon was dark and the wind was high today! In this way, they could use the night to escape the pursuit of the British Navy. The arrival of the German Navy is certain that the main force of the British Navy is now at high speed.
The pursuit of the
Although the German Navy's battleship survivability is generally higher than that of the British Navy's battleship, it has no advantage in speed. This will not have any impact during fierce battles, but when it escapes, the impact will be great
If they cannot get rid of the British Navy, they will sooner or later be caught up by the British Navy.
On the sea surface about 10,000 meters away from the German fleet, the British Navy's light cruisers and destroyers were following the German Navy's main fleet from afar. Needless to think about it, these British Navy's light cruisers and destroyers were constantly pushing the German Navy's
The trends were reported to the main fleet of the British Navy and provided them with precise guidance. Although the German Navy sent a lot of light cruisers and destroyers to expel, the British Navy also had an absolute advantage in the number of light cruisers and destroyers.
It is simply impossible to drive away the numerous British Navy light cruisers and destroyers.
"Order the fleet, perform light control, turn left 50 degrees!" Reinhardt at 8:30 pm.
Admiral Schell once again issued a order for turning. The fleet's course turned from northeast to east. Faced with the enemy's pursuit, Reinhardt.
Admiral Scher could only hope that the fleet could return to Germany as early as possible. Only by returning to the military port to command can he be truly safe.
However, the movements of the German Navy were completely under the control of the British fleet. John.
Admiral Jelico has ordered the fleet to increase its speed to 20 knots, which is almost the highest speed of the fleet now. At the same time, John.
Admiral Jelico did not forget to inform the US fleet of the movements of the German fleet so that they could accurately intercept the German fleet.
William at 8:45 pm.
The battle line composed of eight battleships of the US Navy Expeditionary Fleet commanded by General Benson encountered the German Navy. When these eight battleships stopped the German fleet, the German Navy was once again shocked.
"Damn it, what's going on? How could the British have so many battleships?" Reinhardt.
Admiral Schell was almost crazy. The fleet in front, the eight battleships that looked like hills, were obviously the latest battleships, not those old battleships. This made Reinhardt.
Admiral Schell could not have imagined that where did the British Navy get so many new battleships?
