While the main fleet was attacking the British airport, the German light cruiser team also launched an attack on the command tower and some surrounding facilities. Although the 175mm gun was not as powerful as the 15-inch naval gun, it was still powerful. After all, this thing was only available at the military level in the army! The Germans patiently expanded the attack range from the airport to the telegraph station, transportation hub and along the road next to it. The entire airport was completely ruined in a planned manner. After more than an hour of artillery attack, the entire airport had become a sea of ​​fire, so that nearby British towns were illuminated by flames like daytime.

"I will never forget that night in August 1914, the German fleet suddenly came to the Orkney Islands. God, I really didn't expect that the Germans would be so bold. They came to the anchorage of the British fleet! And turned our most important airport into ruins, and German artillery roared all night. (This is obviously exaggerated.) The shells like raindrops fell into the airport, turning it into a sea of ​​fire, and the yellow and red flames rushed to the sky. We were 7 miles away from the airport, but the flames still illuminated us. The air was filled with some pungent takeoffs, which should have floated from the airport. On the next day we tried to help the young men, and the final result made us despair. The airport where thousands of people were stationed in the end did not exceed 500 people." After the war, a British civilian recalled that desperate night like this.

"Stop the work, let's go to the next place." Looking at the attack evaluation results just came out, Ruprecht nodded with satisfaction. The most important facilities of the airport: ammunition warehouse, hangar, machinery workshop and power plant were completely destroyed. Even if the British repurpose the airport, it would probably be a few months later. By then, the war will be completely over, and there is still a good use? Tonight, the most critical wooden target in the Orkney Islands has been destroyed, and the remaining two secondary targets are left. So far, the submarine cordon deployed in the south of the fleet has not been found in the UK's large fleet. If nothing unexpected happens, this time, the German high seas fleet can complete the mission smoothly.

At the same time, the Hiper Fleet's attack on the Shetland Islands is also underway. Although the overall firepower is that the 11 main battleships in Hiper's hands cannot be compared with the 12 Bavarian-class battleships in the Crown Prince, they only have to attack one target. Therefore, Hiper can easily pour thousands of tons of ammunition there, and finally have time to take over the surrounding lighthouses, radio stations and some barracks. Just as the two German fleets were raging on the British North Sea blockade, the large fleet was still nestled in Forth Bay, and Jericho, who was resting, also received the most terrifying telegram that made him scared since the war started!

"His Excellency Commander, the Orkney Islands, and the Shetland Islands." The attendant anxiously patted the door outside Jericho's bedroom. A few minutes later, Jericho, who was still wearing pajamas, appeared in front of his subordinates with a haggard face. Jericho was too tired these days.
