Chapter 1155 hit and run
At this time, during the period when the express fleet and the main force of the German High Seas Fleet fought, the British fleet had completed most of its maneuvers. At this time, the huge British fleet had approached the east of the German fleet. With only one quarter of an hour to pull out a battle line along the southwest direction, it could threaten the German fleet from the rear to cut off the German fleet's return. Then the German fleet would fall into the attack between the British Express Fleet in the north and the British large fleet in the south. Even if the Germans had the advantage of navigation, the large fleet also had the advantage of inner circle combat. It would be not that easy for the other party to go around!&1t;/p>
But now, in the eyes of Jericho and others, the Moore fleet has chosen to protect itself, giving the German fleet a little a turnaround.&1t;/p>
"Your Highness, the British queens have released the smoke screen. Jericho has reached the east side and they will soon expand their formation. If I guess correctly, they may spread along this line!" As she said, Schell used the putter in his hand to draw a virtual drawing on the chart. This line was like a sharp knife and penetrated straight to the rear of the German fleet.&1t;/p>
"It seems that the other party is not as strong as we imagined." The British reaction was somewhat unexpected. In fact, the prince still had to deal with the fast warships in the British fleet first. These things were really too troublesome. According to the original plan, he would choose to turn and take it before the British fleet was unfolding. The broken destroyer and the large seaplane in the air released a smoke screen to stop the British fleet's pursuit. Run out before the other party completed the encirclement. This period will take about half an hour to 40 minutes. The prince estimated that if he was lucky, he might be able to take away a queen... However, now he has taken away a battle cruiser in less than 15 minutes, which is a good deal.&1t;/p>
"Let the Hippel fleet and the Second Battleship team be cut off, and we turn to evacuate!" Seeing that the enemy who could be beaten has avoided it, it is meaningless to continue to stay on the battlefield. The prince does not want to be sandwiched in the two breads of the Moor fleet and the British Fleet like a sausage...&1t;/p>
The slowest way to keep the battle line is to keep the line of steering. In fact, both Britain and Germany can skillfully turn quickly in each unit in the first battle, such as the German fleet in history when facing a large fleet. This time the German fleet's steering was more difficult. Because during the steering process, there were a total of 4 battleship teams (including the Hippel Fleet), among which the first and third positions were responsible for breaking the rear, while the first and fourth positions of the prince's direct battleship team ran away first. This is because the Hippel Fleet and the second battleship team have the strongest combat effectiveness, and the 5 Bavarian-class battleship ships and 3 battle patrols are enough to make Major General "irrational" Moore suffer some trouble!&1t;/p>
The seven battleships turned first, followed by Hippel's battlecruiser team, and finally the second battleship team consisting of three Bavarian-class battleships. In just 5 minutes, the huge German fleet changed from the northwest to the south. In order to prevent the pursuit of the Moor fleet, the prince decisively ordered the voyage to be increased to more than 23 knots!&1t;/p>
"The Germans ran away!" When Moore learned the news, he was stunned at first, but soon he realized that the large fleet should have taken over the enemy. In order not to give up any chance to beat the dog in the water, Queen Elizabeth quickly told the entire fleet through flags and telegrams to adjust its course and prepare to pursue. But unfortunately, it was only a quarter of an hour before the adjustment was completed from the German fleet to the British fleet, which increased the distance between the two fleets to about 22 kilometers again. If it could hit this distance, it would be more of a luck......&1t;/p>
The large fleet that had not yet entered the inner ring could not catch up with the German high seas fleet at this time. Moreover, due to the improvement of the aviation, the early dreadnoughts could not keep up with the fleet at all. The originally tight formation became loose. The 4 Revenge-class battleships and the 1O Fearless ships behind could still maintain a high degree, but the 1O Fearless ships behind were a bit difficult. As for Major General Hood's three first-generation battle cruisers? Jericho didn't dare to let them show up easily! This tm is too dangerous!&1t;/p>
"Damn it!" Jericho cursed. When the German fleet raised its voyage to 25 kilometres, the British fleet's encirclement plan finally went bankrupt. On the Iron Duke, Jericho could even clearly see the German fleet sailing from about 30 kilometers ahead of the British fleet! After killing a battle cruiser with ease before the two iron clamps closed, they turned into the wind!&1t;/p>
When the last German warship threw the British fleet out of range, the entire fleet burst into a shock and cheers, and confidence accumulated. After repeated battles, when people saw that their seemingly powerful opponents were constantly teasing and provoking like a stupid cow, and then took the opportunity to use a knife to get a piece of fat beef from them. This feeling is easy to addictive. It is so great that I can't catch me if I bite you and you can't catch me!&1t;/p>
"Your Highness, if we can achieve such results in every attack, then the British Empire is not unbearable." Schell complimented. The hidden meaning is that this battle is sufficient, and it is okay to stop when it is better. After all, killing a battle cruiser in more than ten minutes can be considered as avenging the Blüchelle. It is very stable to go back at this time!&1t;/p>
"Let's go, let's do it today." After the prince looked at the British Express Fleet and the Great Fleet that had reunited again, he had no idea to continue fighting. It's already 5 pm, and the long winter night is about to come, and there are some variables in the night battle. When both sides can use aviation reconnaissance, the German fleet relies on Gaohang to help each other's killer moves, but if it's not good at luck, it may hit a head and blood! Of course, the most important thing is that the prince's most concerned about is not what the battle can achieve, because, compared with a large-scale battle in the near future, whether it can kill a battle cruiser this time is really not that important.&1t;/p>
When the German fleet embarked on its way back in the afterglow of the sunset, some existences hidden in the night did not leave. They wandered on the sea like ghosts and continued to perform their missions. The British knew nothing about this! Sometimes the outcome of the war was determined by these details.&1t;/p>
