Chapter 1116: Leave
? Y?^g? M6??? u? (?????? b??h? O? N~^??? x5?a? L??:??? E?? People seem to be leaving, and we can't keep our opponents, they are so fast, we are like a strong and invincible lion, and the opponent is an agile black panther, we have an overwhelming advantage, but we can't catch the opponent! Looking at the German fleet that was gradually moving away, Admiral Jericho said helplessly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
To be honest, now not only Jericho, but even the entire Grand Fleet is very depressed, and the vigorous drag family to bring it over, not to mention the victory or defeat in a battle, but at least have to fight well! As a result, it seems, maybe, probably, that the capital ships of the Grand Fleet have not hit the opponent with a single shell ...... main guns. The light cruiser and destroyer fought with the opponent twice, but were beaten in the ass and urinated while the opponent's capital ship was pressing.
The other party is as cunning as a panther in the jungle, which makes people unable to catch it, and inadvertently, the other party suddenly attacked, and then withdrew, which can cause certain losses to themselves, and so far, the Grand Fleet has lost 6 light cruisers and 12 destroyers, and more than 3,000 people have been killed! Such a loss is not unbearable for the Grand Fleet of the British Empire, in fact, it is nothing, but the key is to be aggrieved! The majority of Royal Navy officers and sailors have a feeling of being molested! This makes people unbearable, the other party can fight if they want, and leave if they want to! The blow to the morale of the British Navy was even greater and more unacceptable than the material losses.
Looking at the German fleet in the distance, Jericho suppressed the helplessness and resentment in his heart, and decided to order the fleet to be reorganized into a marching formation, and then cover the light cruiser to salvage the overboard.
The battle line of the Grand Fleet, which was more than ten kilometers long, began to gradually disintegrate, and then turned into a squadron of 4 ships, which were rearranged in a box formation. And at this time, a telegram came from a V1500 long-range reconnaissance aircraft, and they found that the German fleet seemed to be killed again!
Half an hour after this telegram was sent, a light cruiser on the periphery really saw a majestic group of shadows reappear in the place where the water and the sky meet......
"! You're still over! "After Jericho received this information, his mood was extremely depressed!" Do you know what it means to leave a line of people, and we will see you in the future! Do you really want to make the two most powerful fleets in the world fight to the death?! ”
"The fleet turns to 15 compass points and prepares to meet the enemy!" Jericho naturally couldn't let the German fleet follow him, the opponent was much faster than him, and it was not possible to run, at least he had to scare the other side away before he could evacuate. At this time, the German fleet was almost in the direction of the south of the British fleet, just like the telegram sent by the long-range reconnaissance plane, the German fleet, after throwing off the British, turned 180 degrees again and killed back! However, this time it was not rushing directly, but constantly changing the course, which made the German admirals, including Scheer, feel a little puzzled.
An hour later, when the German fleet again saw the British Grand Fleet at visual distance, the situation of the two sides was very similar to when they first met, almost directly opposite, and neither side had much advantage, the British looked at the German fleet and were ready to deploy the fleet according to the actions of the other side, and what about the German fleet?
"Alright, the fleet turns, let's go!" The prince looked at the sky outside and said, now that it was getting dark. This time the prince really planned to leave, and he walked so simply, so decisively, and never dragged his feet, so he turned his head and withdrew from .......
"Hold the grass, what's going on?" Looking at the high seas fleet that turned around and left again, Jericho was really a little messy, he didn't know what the purpose of the other party's coming out this time was. If you want to take the two battle cruisers outside, then when the main fleets of the two sides meet, the Germans should evacuate, because this task is no longer possible, and the Germans cannot pass through the Grand Fleet and then enter the Norwegian Sea.
You want to say that it is to come out to find the bad luck of the Grand Fleet? It's impossible, the other party obviously doesn't mean to fight. Jericho thought that the other party might be planning to fight with him while Thomas's fleet was away. In fact, from the overall point of view, it was the German 2 battle cruisers that involved the British 10 capital ships, which has been done very well from the point of view of force containment. If you think about it from another perspective, then Jericho also has the idea of fighting.
But think about it carefully, judging from the configuration of the other party's fleet, this is not out of a desperate effort, if Jericho is the commander of the high seas fleet, then he will come out with all the dreadnoughts and even the former dreadnoughts! Since it's desperate, let's drag the family and bring a wave of it! Jericho even got the idea of avoiding the edge when necessary. After all, the Grand Fleet is not only used to deal with Germany, but also to fight the Germans, how will they deal with the United States and Japan in the future?!
And if you look at it from the point of view of hard power, although the number of capital ships on both sides is almost the same after adding the former dreadnoughts, the 6 dreadnoughts are old after all, and it is a problem that the combat effectiveness can be exerted, and the British fleet is still crushing in terms of auxiliary warships, so even in the current situation, the victory of the Grand Fleet is still relatively large. So if these two points are not true, what is the German fleet doing this time? Jericho really can't figure it out!
"This is definitely not von. Admiral Boll commanded the fleet, this guy doesn't have such a big guts and no such big brains. Jericho was sure.
"Okay, our goal has been achieved, now let's get ready to go home, although we haven't been able to take out a British capital ship, but we have gained a lot today." The prince said.
"Okay, now, I'll explain to you the reasons for all the things I've done today, as well as your doubts." The prince was in a very good mood now, and after asking his attendant to pour himself a cup of coffee, he began to explain to his men the purpose of what he had done today.
"First of all, from the very beginning, I gave up the formation from the tail of the opponent, and chose to turn to the 180-degree cross-cutting of the British fleet, from the perspective of position, it is more rapid to choose to cut directly from the tail, but in fact, the other side has been moving away from us, and once the fleet is deployed, our course is to the north, and the other side can soon escape from our range, and at this time, the large fleet can outflank us from our rear and cut off our retreat to the south."
"Secondly, why I left the British fleet and then went back, and the route I took was very tortuous, this step is very important, because I want to know how well the Grand Fleet perceives the battlefield when the British have no light cruisers and destroyers, and to be precise, whether the British aviation reconnaissance is reliable! Judging from the situation just now, the British aviation reconnaissance was still very good, and when the two sides met again, the British accurately judged our position. ”
