Of course, there are many things that they can't imagine, at this time, the 4 German capital ships led by Hipper have entered the Skagerrak Strait, and they are now less than 70 kilometers away from the British fleet!

"Release half of the seaplanes, I need to know the situation on the battlefield as soon as possible!" Hippert said anxiously, just ten minutes earlier, he had received the news of the sinking of the Blucher. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"You know, what I hope most at this time is to find the Moore fleet blocking the door nearby, and then beat them up! Believe me, if it's 4v4, I have hope to end the fight in half an hour! An angry Hipper said to the staff officer. However, some differences are that after the British fleet discovered the Moltke, the Moore fleet, which was originally guarding near the Skagerrak Strait, directly chose to go north to intercept the Moltke.

The two Queen-class battleships behind them were of course thrown farther and farther away by the Moltke, and at first they could still see a shadow of the ship, and then only a trace of green smoke could be seen, and in the end, the two Queen-class fast battleships could only determine the general direction of the Moltke based on aerial reconnaissance and information provided by friendly forces.

Through the alternate radio channel, the Moltke finally learned that the High Seas Fleet had arranged a receiving fleet, and determined that the distance between the two sides was about 220 kilometers, that is, 120 nautical miles, considering that the two sides could meet in two hours at most, but at this time, the lookout on the Moltke found a fleet in its southwest direction!

"It seems that there is still some price to be paid if you want to go home." Lefetsov looked at the shadow of the ship that gradually became clear in the distance, according to the intelligence reality, this should be the fleet that has never appeared in Thomas's hands, and in terms of scale, it has a total of 4 capital ships! He needs to hold out for at least an hour before Hipper comes!

"It's really challenging to hold on for 1 hour in front of a capital ship detachment and a light cruiser detachment. But I like it! "Lefetsov is like a warlike lion." Tell the brothers that if we're lucky, we might even be able to take a British battleship! ”

"The fleet turns left 3 compass points and prepares to meet the enemy! Also tell the other allies where we are, so they can hurry up and come to their aid! "The British saw the battle cruiser Moltke in the distance at the same time, and Rear Admiral Moore decisively gave the order to engage the enemy. In the distance, the German battleship did not seem to intend to be appointed, and the tower began to accelerate and then sail westward, delaying the meeting between the two sides.

"Isn't that right? Our 4 ships are enough to take the target. An officer said.

"It's better to be careful. I'm always a little uneasy. Moore said.

With the spare frequency, Moltke quickly informed Hipper of the location of the British fleet, and the vice admiral who received the signal was as excited as a shark that smelled something fishy. "The fleet was raised to 28 knots! We went to meet the returning comrades-in-arms and teach the British a lesson by the way! Hipper's victory commanded, of course, even the new Bavaria would never be able to run at 28 knots, this was just to boost morale. (Betty did the same thing in the Battle of Dogger Sandbank)

And just half an hour after Hipper's telegram, the Moore fleet finally exchanged fire with the Moltke!

"Concentrate your fire on the opponent's No. 3 ship!" Colonel Lefetsov looked at the British fleet in the distance, roughly judged the type of the other party's ship, and said. This time he aimed his guns at the battlecruiser New Zealand, I am afraid that it will be a little troublesome to fight the Queen and the Tiger, and there are also some problems with whether the Tiger's sidestring armor and dome armor can be penetrated at a distance of 16 kilometers, but it is not too simple to hit the 6-inch armor belt of New Zealand.

4 British battle cruisers were firing at full fire, and 28 large-caliber guns ranging from 12 to 15 inches were pouring down on the target area with more than ten tons of ammunition per minute, like a volcanic eruption! From a distance, the fire and smoke of the guns even completely covered the fleet, and after nearly a minute of flight, large and small water columns instantly enveloped the Moltke battlecruiser, from 2,000 meters away to the nearest 500 meters from the battleship, the falling shells seemed to boil the sea area!

However, although it seemed to be very lively, in fact the effect was not very good, and the British fleet did not form an effective straddle fire after several minutes of rapid fire. "It's so chaotic that I don't even know where our shells are falling, and they can't be corrected at all." A few minutes later, the chief gunnery of the Moore's flagship Counter Attack contacted Rear Admiral Moore by phone on the ship.

In fact, two warships attacking one target at the same time can destroy the opponent faster, but if three warships are on the same page, it may not be, because 2V1 can also distinguish the landing point of their respective shells, and if it is 3V1, it is impossible to distinguish between shells falling one after another, and if you can't distinguish them, you can't correct the trajectory. So, in this case, it seems that there is no ...... for anything other than to hit a large number of high-value shells into the water.

And then, Moore also noticed that something was wrong, and he had to admit that his opponent was very cunning. "It is morning, the German fleet is to the east of us, and the position is upwind, because of the problem of sunlight, the targets in our rangefinders are often shrouded in a shadow, and the smoke screen that blows down also hinders our observation." Maj. Gen. Moore said. "Order the ships to recoordinate the firing sequence and send seaplanes to observe."

While orders were constantly passed from one ship to another by means of signal flags, the Moltke's shots became more and more steady with the help of the seaplanes, and after the first three and a half salvos landed near the Tiger, the jets of water splashed by the shells slowly approached the New Zealand in third place like the sickle of death!

Two huge water columns landed on both sides of the New Zealand almost at the same time, which made the battleship suddenly not calm! When he was hesitating whether to evade, a salvo 1 minute later accurately hit the sidechord of the New Zealand, the shell easily penetrated the 6-inch sidechord armor, and then went all the way through the flue of the upper part of the power compartment before exploding, more than a dozen kilograms of TNT explosives pushed hundreds of kilograms of steel to create a catastrophe within a radius of more than ten meters, accompanied by bursts of explosions and pieces of partitions were torn to pieces, and the raging smoke and flames rushed out of the middle of the hull.

This made the British realize that this time the battle may not be easy, and the other side, even a lamb surrounded by wolves, will fight back at the last moment!
