"Is that so? Then let's retreat first and report our position to the main fleet." The officer's report dispelled Major General Hood's last hesitation. 3v3 is a fuck! That's something that will definitely happen! Many naval battles have been verified. The British fights of the same level and number of British and German warships are all kneeling down. What's more, the other side has two fearless ships, and three of them are the initial fearless. This is not a war or a death! The British navy has allowed its own fleet to retreat actively in the absence of defeat.&1t;/p>

"Are you finally here? I hope the German fleet will not be scared away!" Jericho ordered the fleet to maintain a degree of 17 knots to prepare to take over the enemy. With the help of aviation reconnaissance and surface warships, Jericho had roughly determined the location of the German fleet. According to the intelligence reality, the British fleet is in the northwest direction of the German fleet. At this time, the large fleet is still 30 kilometers away from Major General Hood's battle cruiser detachment. After Major General Hood chose to turn to evacuate, the two sides can meet in more than 20 minutes.&1t;/p>

The smoke sent by the huge fleet was like a dark cloud over the sky of the large fleet. They moved with the fleet, and the German navy's reconnaissance aircraft also showed the large fleet entering the battlefield.&1t;/p>

"I never thought that human industry was so majestic and amazing!" A German pilot described the scene at that time. "At least two or more battleships formed a formation close to a square. It was like a sea city. Hundreds of cruisers and destroyers were surrounding the fleet. They occupied at least a few dozen square kilometers of areas. They crushed over in an unstoppable posture. Such a lineup would feel very terrible even if you look at it."&1t;/p>

"The large fleet has appeared, located about 25 kilometers northwest of the Hiper Fleet!" A few minutes later, Scher and Hiper received this extremely important telegram at the same time!&1t;/p>

"Let Hippel join the main fleet immediately!" the prince ordered.&1t;/p>

"Do we still have to move forward?" Sher said with some concern. Even though he knew he could not beat his opponent now, he might as well leave.&1t;/p>

"No, let's go up and take a look." The prince said. "Don't worry, they can't catch us! Just treat it as a preview of a future war!"&1t;/p>

Aware of the existence of both sides, the British and German fleets used the last period before the encounter to adjust their formation. Hippel's fleet began to recover, and the high seas fleet with nine Bavarian-class battleships as the core continued to approach. At the same time, the three Bavarian-class battleships of the second battleship team came forward slightly, and he would exist as the spearhead of the entire high seas fleet. The third battleship team followed, and then the first battleship team led directly by Scher, and other battleships behind it.&1t;/p>

Before the fleet contacted, the seaplanes of both sides had already started the first round of battle. The three seaplanes carried by the large fleet released 12 seaplanes. In addition to those released from the warships, the British had at least 2 dozen seaplanes in the air. The Germans were also unambiguous and released 2o seaplanes in one breath. So, the first large-scale battle between the Shanghai Air Force in history began like this! However, at this time, neither Jericho nor Prince Ruprecht cared about this. These immature guys could not threaten the warships on the sea. They all focused on each other!&1t;/p>

"Are the Germans stupid?! Do you really want to fight me?!" Jericho confirmed that the German fleet must have known the approximate location of the large fleet at this time. So since you know, why haven't you run? At this time, the straight-line distance between the two sides is about 25 kilometers, and at most only one quarter of an hour, both sides can see their opponents in the visual distance!&1t;/p>

Jericho sent out the distracting thoughts in his head. He firmly believed that as long as the German fleet unfolded and he was right, he would win, and began to consider how to win this battle! He now has two choices. The first choice is to unfold eastward. In this way, the fastest expansion will be blocked and the German fleet's route will be blocked. Of course, there are also disadvantages. If the German fleet turns at this time, the large fleet will definitely not be able to catch up. Joke, the flight between the two sides can be more than 6 quarters away. Why do you pursue others?&1t;/p>

Another option is to pull out the battle line to the southeast. Although the route of the German fleet to the north cannot be cut off, if the Germans dare to continue to go north, then if the entire large fleet turns east, it will be able to cut off the German fleet's return.&1t;/p>

In that moment, Jericho really wanted to try the latter, although it would take huge risks, such as the German fleet turning in advance, pulling out the battleship westward at a faster rate and then crossing the British fleet. However, the idea of ​​blocking the other party's way back and forcing the other party to fight to the death was too tempting. But in the last few minutes, steadiness and rationality once again occupied the top. Jericho decided to choose the simplest and safest approach, and the fleet sailed eastward to pull out the battle line!&1t;/p>

The quality of the British Royal Navy is indeed the first-class in the world. It took about 16 minutes to pull out a battleship of more than 2 battleships from the sailing box formation! After the expansion of this Great Wall of Steel is enough to make any other navy feel desperate! In the twilight, one British fleet painted with Victoria gray and nearly a hundred turrets above, 2oo multiple artillery can pour hundreds of tons of ammunition in one minute!&1t;/p>

"Squadrons turn!" Scher estimated the distance between them. Before the high seas fleet entered the effective range of the other side, the squadrons began to turn separately. The front steering of the high seas fleet in Jutland, which also marveled the world, repeated at this moment! The German fleet's movements were faster, and it took less than 6 minutes to convert the overall northward direction of the fleet into a southwestward direction! It was easy to avoid the t-shaped heads of many parties!&1t;/p>

At 20 kilometers away from the large fleet, the high seas fleet and the large fleet are almost parallel to each other. The prince will naturally not leave this time. He is looking for the problem of the large fleet. Without the help of the fast battleship, how will the large fleet take action! The prince does not think that Jericho will only find the right opportunity to launch the formation move. In fact, the larger the fleet, the slower the reaction. For the existence of the large fleet, the prince really wants to know how long it will take for them to change the formation in actual combat!&1t;/p>
