Chapter 1155: Hit and Run

At this time, during the period when the fast fleet and the main force of the German high seas fleet were fighting, the British fleet had completed most of the maneuvers, and at this time, the huge British fleet had approached the east of the German fleet, and as long as there was another quarter of an hour, after pulling out a battle line along the southwest direction, it could threaten the German fleet from the flank and rear and cut off the German fleet's way back. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info then the German fleet will fall into the middle between the British fast fleet in the north and the British Grand Fleet in the south, and even if the Germans have a speed advantage, then the large fleet also has the advantage of fighting in the inner circle, and it may not be so easy for the other party to go around!

But now, in the eyes of Jericho and others, the Moore fleet has chosen to protect itself, giving the German fleet a slight turnaround.

"Your Highness, the queens of the English have released the smoke screen. Jericho is already to the east, and they will soon be in formation, and if my estimate is correct, they will probably spread along this line! As he spoke, Scheer drew a virtual picture on the chart with the putter in his hand. This line was like a sharp knife into the flank and rear of the German fleet.

"It seems that the other party is not as strong as we think." The reaction of the British was somewhat unexpected, in fact, until now, the first thing the prince had to deal with was still the fast warships in the British fleet, these things were too troublesome, according to the original plan, he would choose to turn and take before the British Grand Fleet deployed. The broken destroyers and large seaplanes in the air would release smoke screens to stop the British fast fleet from pursuing them, and run out before the other side could complete the encirclement, which would take about half an hour to 40 minutes, and the prince estimated that if he was lucky, he might be able to take a queen ....... However, now in less than 15 minutes, a battlecruiser was taken away, which is okay.

"After the Hipper fleet and the second battleship detachment are broken, we turn to evacuate!" Seeing that the enemy who could be moved had been evaded, there was no point in continuing to stay on the battlefield, and the prince did not want to be like a sausage, sandwiched between the two slices of bread of the Moore fleet and the British Grand Fleet......

Maintaining the line of battle is naturally the slowest speed of turning, in fact, both Britain and Germany in World War I can skillfully turn quickly in each detachment, such as the historical German fleet in front of the large fleet. And this time the turn of the German fleet was a little more difficult. Because in the process of turning, a total of 4 battleship detachments (including the Hipper fleet) of which the first and third are in charge of the rear, while the first battleship detachment and the fourth battleship detachment directly under the prince are the first to run away, this is because the combat effectiveness of the Hipper fleet and the second battleship detachment is the strongest, and 5 Bavaria-class battleships and 3 battle cruisers are enough to make the "irrational" Rear Admiral Moore suffer some!

7 battleships turned first, followed by Hipper's detachment of battlecruisers, and finally the second battleship detachment consisting of 3 Bavaria-class battleships. In just 5 minutes, the huge German fleet went from heading northwest to heading due south. In order to prevent the pursuit of the Moore fleet, the prince decisively ordered to increase the speed to more than 23 knots!

"The Germans ran away!" When Moore heard the news, he was stunned at first, but soon he realized that the Grand Fleet should have received the enemy, and in order not to give up any opportunity to beat the water dogs, the Queen Elizabeth quickly told the entire fleet to adjust course and prepare for the pursuit. But unfortunately, it was only a quarter of an hour or so from the turn of the German fleet to the completion of the adjustment of the British fleet, that the distance between the two fleets was re-extended to about 22 kilometers, and if it could be hit at this distance, it would be more by luck......

The Grand Fleet, which had not yet entered the inner ring, could not catch up with the German High Seas Fleet at this time, and because of the increase in speed, the early dreadnoughts could not keep up with the fleet at all, and the originally tight formation became loose. The 4 revenge-class battleships, and the 10 super dreadnoughts behind can still maintain a high speed, but the next 10 dreadnoughts are a little more difficult. As for Rear Admiral Hood's 3 first-generation battlecruisers? Jericho didn't dare to let them show up easily! This TM is too dangerous!

"Damn it!" Jericho scolded. When the German fleet increased its speed to 25 knots, the British fleet's plan to encircle finally failed, and on the Iron Duke, Jericho could clearly see the German fleet passing at high speed about 30 kilometers in front of the British fleet! After taking out a battlecruiser in style before the two iron tongs were closed, turn in like the wind!

When the last German battleship threw the British fleet out of range, the whole fleet erupted in cheers and confidence, and after one battle after another, it was easy to get addicted to the feeling of discovering that the seemingly formidable opponent was constantly teased by himself like a stupid cow, and then took the opportunity to take a piece of fat beef from them with a knife. It's so nice that I bite you and you can't catch me!

"Your Highness, if we can achieve such results in every sortie, then the British Empire is not invincible." Scheer complimented. And the hidden meaning is that this battle is enough, and it is okay to accept it when you see it. After all, the two sides fought for more than ten minutes and killed a battle cruiser, which can be regarded as revenge for the Blucher, and it is very stable to go back at this time!

"Let's go, that's it for today." After the prince looked at the British Rapid Fleet and the Grand Fleet, which had reunited again, he had no idea of continuing to fight. Now the time has reached 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the long night of winter is coming, and there are some variables in the night battle, in the case that both sides of the aviation reconnaissance can be used, the German fleet can rely on high speed to kill the other side, but if it is night, in case of bad luck bumps, it may hit a head and break the blood! Of course, the most important thing is that the prince is not most concerned about what the outcome of this battle will be, because whether or not he can take out a battlecruiser this time is really not so important compared to a large-scale battle in the near future.

When the German fleet set out on its way home in the afterglow of the setting sun, some of the beings hidden in the night did not leave, and they roamed the sea like ghosts. Continuing to carry out his mission. And the British don't know anything about it! And sometimes the outcome of a war is determined by these details.
