"Damn it, I didn't expect that the second hit was actually obtained by the Germans." Major General Moore cursed, but was not worried that under the huge advantage, the Germans would eventually fail. As he expected, when the Moltke accurately hit the ship of the New Zealand ship, a 15-inch shell also hit the ship of the Moltke! A big hole was made in the 4-inch thick ship's armor belt!&1t;/p>

Then, the British fleet, which completed the firepower coordination, began to rise sharply. In less than 3 minutes, three more shells fell on the target. In addition to a 12-inch shell being bounced off by armor, another shell pushed a piece of armor back about 8 inches overall! Leaving a crack that was more than 2 meters long. The last shell landed at the position of the No. 3 turret of the Moltke, blowing a 35omm barrel into two sections.&1t;/p>

The Counterattack and Australia alternately fired a shell at the Moltke. As for the Tiger? In history, this guy had almost no hit except killing the fish from the Doger Sandbank to Jutland. This plane is still the case. This must not be blamed for the equipment. It can only be said that the personnel on the Tiger are too cowardly... As for the New Zealand, it temporarily withdrew from the battle line to put out the fire. In Moore's opinion, anyway, the three warships are enough to get rid of the opponent, so why take the risk?&1t;/p>

"Release the smoke screen, let's avoid it first." Looking at the flames rising on his back deck, Lefsov ordered. Now he is very relaxed. The Hippel fleet is only 50 kilometers away from the battlefield at most. The battle distance of 20 kilometers is deducted. There is only about 20 kilometers left. At this time, the battleships between the two sides are heading east. Although the convergence time will be extended, as long as they can hold on for another 45 minutes, the Hippel fleet will definitely return! Judging from the current situation, his cigarette can be used for another 30 minutes... At this time, unless there is a British submarine under the water and then hit more than 3 thunders directly, Moltke can basically guarantee to go home...&1t;/p>

However, the current situation is still sufficient to maintain the stability and lack of access. It may be difficult to leave a British warship at this time. On the one hand, the British are very careful. Once the two first-generation battlecruisers are beaten, they will immediately retreat. Unless they shoot into the ammunition depot, there will be no chance. Another reason is that two other Queen-class battleships are also flying here. Maybe an hour later, the two sides will be 5-for-6. On paper, the German fleet must be dominant, but if the British want to leave, it is estimated that Hippel will not chase......&1t;/p>

However, what Lefsov could not have imagined was that his time to go home was ahead of schedule! It was not that Hippel's degree really reached more than 28 kilometers, which shortened the time for convergence, but because the seaplane and mothership carried by the Moore fleet appeared the Hippel fleet that was coming from afar!&1t;/p>

"God, what did I see?!" Lieutenant Herbert, who was flying a Haverland seaplane, looked at the four huge warships in the distance and said in surprise! "Damn it! Aren't the German warships all in the military port? Why did 4 ships run out at once! Oh my God! That's Bavaria! Three Bavarian-class battleships! We're going to be finished!" The radio clerk sitting in the back seat trembled and gave the news to Major General Moore.&1t;/p>

"I xxx! How did Jericho do it?! Let the German fleet slip out?!" Major General Moore swears. If his feeling was a bit (Japanese) before, then his feeling is a bit like being a dog (Japanese). He really couldn't imagine why the battle that would have won would have evolved like this, if it weren't for the seaplane providing reconnaissance, it would be very likely that the other party would have counterattacked!&1t;/p>

"Your Excellency Commander, could it be the Germans who used merchant ships to disguise?" An officer said unwillingly.&1t;/p>

"Absolutely impossible!" Major General Moore said very decisively. If the information is correct, the other party's voyage is around 26 knots. Even the current cruise ships can not run out, and they can take out 3 ships at once! Germany has 3 cruise ships of similar size to Bavaria and can run 26 knots high? There are definitely no! And the so-called camouflage ships at most are to get a superstructure and fool it at a long distance. After the seaplane approaches, it can quickly determine the authenticity through the ship type and navigation. Therefore, Major General Moore's judgment is that there may be camouflaged Xibei cargo in the port, but here, these three ships must be true!&1t;/p>

"Damn it! Quit quickly and be beaten up. We join the Warrior and the Reputation!" In the Battle of Thunder-Sherbruce, Major General Moore, who saw with his own eyes the British fleet was massacred by the Bavarians, was still very low on the issue of retreat. In his opinion, it was still too late to walk now. After all, the two sides were still 40 kilometers apart. Although the average flight of the other side was faster, it would be 8 hours later to smooth out this distance. And it was dark in 8 hours, and the German fleet would definitely not find itself.&1t;/p>

"I'm telegramming Jericho and asking him what's going on!" Major General Moore said directly. Major General Moore is the safest way. After merging with the two queens, he will definitely be more confident. If he is lucky, if the other four queens can come, it's okay to fight back. Of course, if Hippel chooses to evacuate after this incident, today's battle will be really over.&1t;/p>

"Col. Lefedov said in the telegram that their warships were not seriously damaged and asked if we would continue to fight." A staff officer asked with the telegram from the Moltke.&1t;/p>

"Forget it, our mission is to take Moltke home, let's go!" After taking a look at the general direction of the British fleet, Hippel suppressed the urge to catch up, ordered the fleet to meet with Moltke immediately, and then withdraw from the Skaglake Strait to return to Germany.&1t;/p>

The current situation is that both sides have concerns. The Moor fleet in front of us will definitely not be able to defeat the Hippel fleet. If the two queens are added, it is probably not too big. 6v5? The three Bavarian-class ships are one level better than the three queens. It is also very easy for Moltke and Cedritz to attack New Zealand and Australia. What? You say Tiger? This guy can't output, don't worry about it.&1t;/p>

But Hippel doesn't know where the other four queens are now. The other party is also a fast battleship. If you want to catch up, prepare to run a marathon. If there are four queens, Hippel will not be able to take it. Moreover, the fleet is still in the North Sea. It is hard to say what reaction they will have after receiving this message. So after weighing it, Hippel decided to stop when it is right...&1t;/p>
