Along with the order to open fire, 6 Bavaria-class battleships of the 2nd and 3rd battleship detachments opened fire first! And even more ingeniously, at this time the German fleet was to the west of the British fleet, and in the afternoon, with its back to the sun, it was a big trouble for the British to measure the range!

At this time, the Bernie detachment did not dare to continue to rush, nor did it dare to sail in the same direction as the German High Seas Fleet, because if they sailed in the same direction, then the two sides were almost in the best exchange of fire, and the British battleships behind had not yet kept up, and the exchange of fire at this time was almost equal to 5 Revenge-class battleships and the entire high seas fleet hard steel, just ask you, how do you plan to die!

The five revenge-class battleships pulled out gray-black smoke one after another, and the destroyers that followed next to them also opened their smoke canisters, and under the blowing of the sea breeze, a wall of fog gradually formed and blocked the side of the Bernie detachment! However, although the action was fast enough, it would take time for the smoke to disperse, and with the help of aircraft, many German battleships still found a window to shoot. Pen? Interesting?

The 3 Bavaria-class battleships of the 3rd Battleship Detachment fired first, and with the help of a 12-meter rangefinder located at the top of the mast, 12 huge turrets were aimed at the turning Revenge-class battleships, and a series of fire dragons more than ten meters long erupted out, shooting shells weighing more than 800 kilograms at the British fleet 15 kilometers away!

Although the two sides were heading in almost opposite directions, although there was a smoke screen, this time, the three newly commissioned Bavaria-class battleships performed quite well, in the fourth round of corrective fire, the Braunschweig was the first to hit the target, and in the sixth round and a half salvo, a 15-inch shell hit the gun mount of the No. 2 turret of the battleship Royal Oak! However, how can a 10-inch gun mount be able to block the strongest armor-piercing bullet of World War I? The shell unsurprisingly pierced 10 inches of armor, leaving an oval hole in the heavy armor plate, and then crashed headlong into the dressing room under the turret!

Rumble! With a loud bang, a dazzling flash of fire erupted from the lower part of the No. 2 turret, and the turret, which weighed hundreds of tons, seemed to be pushed away from the gun position by a strong explosion! The smoke and flames pushed open the compartment at the stern of the gun, and tore the entire armor plate apart, and the entire battleship trembled in a violent explosion, making people wonder that maybe the next moment, the battleship might explode and sink!

However, in the end, the battleship benefited from a complete and reliable water filling system, and when the sea valve at the bottom of the No. 2 ammunition depot was opened, thousands of tons of seawater poured into the ammunition compartment, and finally avoided the explosion of the ammunition depot, but the raging flames still spread along the pipes and compartment aisles. This shot is very good, but it seems to be a little bit .......

The Weimar and Deschau also hit, with the Weimar throwing two shells onto the Vengeance in the eighth half-salvo, one of which burrowed into the porch, completely destroying the two 6-inch guns, and the other hitting the lower flue of a chimney, and after draining a third of the flue, two steam pipes were cut off. The Deshaw, on the other hand, slapped a shell into the head of the No. 1 turret of the Resolve, which did not penetrate due to the angle, but cut off the barrel of a 15-inch gun.

"Leave revenge alone for the avant-garde, immediately turn 2 compass points to the east, and stop Jericho before he comes up!" After looking at the revenge-class battleships that were gradually losing their bodies in the smoke, the prince immediately ordered his opponent that after the revenge-class battleships chose to run away, the situation became favorable to the German fleet. With more effort, you can hold off Jericho's follow-up fleet, and at this time, the battle line of the Grand Fleet, which is more than ten kilometers long, has not completely turned, and the firepower in the second half of the period cannot be brought into play at all! This is a great opportunity!

"Order the 6th Light Cruiser Detachment to lead the destroyer detachment of its own fleet to immediately launch a lightning strike, and send a telegram to the 2nd and 4th light cruiser detachments, asking them to immediately launch a lightning strike on the German High Seas Fleet at any cost, so as to buy time for the launch of the Grand Fleet." Looking at the battle line that had been pulled out by the High Seas Fleet in the distance, Jericho felt a chill rush from under his feet directly to his head! The distance between the two sides is only 20 kilometers, and at this time, the Grand Fleet must not collide directly, and the only option can only be to immediately open the distance and wait for the arrival of the follow-up warships. And it takes time! The other party's speed is much faster than your own!

The 6th Light Cruiser Detachment, led by the flagship Cardiff, bravely rushed towards the German fleet in the distance with a full 12 destroyers. And this time, they came under concentrated fire from two detachments of German battleships! 6 BATTLESHIPS, 48 15-INCH GUNS, NEARLY 50 150MM GUNS, AND AN EVEN LARGER NUMBER OF 105MM GUNS, LIKE A VOLCANIC ERUPTION, CREATED A DENSE NET OF FIRE ON THE SEA. Columns of water with a thickness of tens of meters rise one after another on the surface of the sea. Even though the British released a smoke screen, relying on a near-covering blow, the 6th Light Cruiser Detachment paid a heavy price in less than 5 minutes after engaging the enemy!

A 15-inch semi-armor-piercing shell landed on the left chord of the Calypso light cruiser in the second position, this shell did not explode after entering the water, after the hood was shattered, the whole shell rushed to the target like a torpedo, and crashed into the poor cruiser at a depth of 6 meters, like a hot knife cutting butter, easily tore open the fragile hull of the battleship, then the boiler compartment, and finally stabbed diagonally into the power compartment next to it! With a loud bang, a large amount of water vapor rose into the air along with flames and smoke screens, and hundreds of tons of debris were scattered into the air by a violent explosion, which could be felt even by Jericho several kilometers away!

The Kreese was the second casualty, he finally rushed to a distance of less than 8 kilometers from the German battleship, and after hastily releasing 4 torpedoes, he was about to turn in, but all the secondary fire of the Saxony and Baden was concentrated on the hapless light cruiser at the same time, and the 6-inch shells hit straight at him like a wall! Accompanied by a series of explosions, the entire battleship's bow and tail chords were beaten like a sieve, and even because the steering was too large, with the violent collision between the hull and the seawater, more seawater poured into it, and the whole battleship quickly tilted to the left, and when the stern steering engine room was smashed by dense 6-inch shells, the ship finally floated on the surface of the sea unwillingly, and was finally sent to the bottom of the sea by a destroyer who rushed over.
