Chapter 1125: Answering 2

"Damn, I didn't expect that the first hit was actually made by the Germans. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Major General Moore scolded, but was not worried that with a huge advantage, the Germans would eventually fall into the sand. And as he expected, when the Moltke accurately hit the bow of the New Zealand with the second shell, a 15-inch shell also hit the bow of the Moltke! A large hole was made in the bow armor belt up to 4 inches thick!

And then, the hit rate of the British fleet, which had completed the coordination of fire, began to rise in a straight line. In less than 3 minutes, three more shells fell on the target, and in addition to one 12-inch shell that was bounced off by the armor, another shell pushed a piece of armor belt back about 8 inches in its entirety! A crack more than 2 meters long was left. THE LAST SHELL LANDED ON THE MOLTKE'S TURRET NO. 3, BLOWING A 350MM BARREL IN TWO.

The Counter Attack and Australia alternately fired shells at the Moltke, as for the Tiger? Historically, from the Dogger sandbank to the Battle of Jutland, there have been almost no hits except for killing fish, and this plane is still like this, which must not be blamed on the equipment, it can only be said that the personnel on the Tiger are too cowardly....... As for the New Zealand, it was temporarily withdrawn from the battle column to extinguish the fire. In Moore's opinion, 3 warships are enough to wipe out the opponent anyway, so why take the risk?

"Release the smoke screen, let's avoid it for a while." Looking at the flames rising from his back deck, Lefetsov ordered. Now he can be described as very relaxed, the Hipper fleet is only 50 kilometers away from the battlefield at most, and the combat distance is 20 kilometers. At most, there are about 20 kilometers left. At this time, the warships of the two sides are heading east, although the time of the rendezvous will be extended, but as long as they can hold on for another 45 minutes, the Hipper's fleet will definitely return! Judging from the current situation, your own smoke canister can be used for another 30 minutes ....... At this time, unless there is a British submarine under the water, and then directly hits more than 3 mines, Moltke can basically guarantee ...... home.

However, the current situation is also more than enough to keep in, and it may be more difficult to leave a British battleship at this time, on the one hand, the British are very careful, and the two original battlecruisers will immediately shrink back once they are beaten. Unless a single shot hits the ammunition depot, the Moltke won't stand a chance, and the other reason is that the other two Queen-class battleships are also speeding here, and maybe in an hour the two sides will be 5 to 6. On paper, it is certain that the German fleet is superior, but if the British want to go, it is estimated that Hippert will not chase .......

However, what Levetsov didn't expect was that he went home earlier! It's not that the speed of Hipper's speed really soared to more than 28 knots, which shortened the time of convergence, but because the seaplane carriers carried by the Moore fleet spotted the Hipper's fleet approaching in the distance!

"Oh God, what did I see?!" Ensign Herbert, who was piloting a Havilland seaplane, looked at the four huge battleships in the distance and said in surprise! "Damn it! Aren't the battleships of the Germans all in military ports? How did you run out of 4 ships at once! Oh, my God! That's Bavaria! 3 Bavarian-class battleships! We're going to be finished! The dispatcher, who was sitting in the back seat, trembled a little and sent the news to Major General Moore.

"I'm XXX! How did Jericho get it?! Let the German fleet slip out ?! Major General Moore burst into a foul language, if he had felt a little bit of a dog before. So now he feels a little bit like being dogged. He really couldn't imagine why the battle in front of him, although there were some twists and turns, but he would eventually win the battle, would have evolved like this, if it wasn't for his own seaplane to provide reconnaissance, it would be very possible for the other party to fight back!

"Your Excellency, Commander, could it be that the Germans disguised it with merchant ships?" An officer said with some reluctance.

"Absolutely impossible!" Major General Moore said very decisively. If the intelligence is correct, the other party's speed is about 26 knots, which is not much that even the current cruise ship can run, and 3 ships can be taken out at once! Are there 3 cruise ships in Germany that are about the size of Bavaria and can run at 26 high-speed speeds? Definitely not! Moreover, the so-called camouflage ship is at most to get the superstructure, fool around at a distance, and after the seaplane approaches, it can quickly judge the authenticity by the type of ship and the speed of the ship. So, Rear Admiral Moore's judgment is that there may be camouflaged Xibei cargo in the port, but here, all three of them must be real!

"! Hurry up and evacuate to the beaten, we join the Warrior and the Prestige! "Rear Admiral Moore, who saw the British fleet slaughtered by the Bavarians at the Battle of Thunder-Thurbrus, had a very low ceiling on the retreat. In his opinion, it is still too late to go, after all, the two sides are still 40 kilometers apart, although the average speed of the other side is faster, but if you want to smooth out this distance, it will be 8 hours later, and it will be dark in 8 hours, and the German fleet will definitely not be able to find itself.

"I'm sending a telegram to Jericho and ask him what the hell is going on!" Major General Moore didn't even have an honorific salute and said directly. Rear Admiral Moore did the safest way, and after joining up with the two queens, he would definitely be more confident. If you are lucky, if the other 4 queens can come, it will be possible to fight back, of course, if Hipper chooses to evacuate after this incident, then today's battle will really be over.

"Colonel Lefetsov telegraphed that their battleship was not badly damaged and asked if we were going to continue fighting." A staff officer asked, holding a telegram from the Moltke.

"Forget it, our mission is just to take the Moltke home, let's go!" Glancing at the general direction of the British fleet, Hipper, suppressing the urge to catch up, ordered the fleet to join the Moltke at once, and then withdraw to the German mainland from the Skagerrak Strait.

The current situation is that both sides have scruples, and the Moore fleet in front of them will definitely not be able to defeat the Hipper fleet, plus the two queens, it is estimated that it is not too much, 6V5? Three Bavaria-class ships are a notch stronger than three Queens. Moltke and the Cedritz are also very easy to play New Zealand and Australia, what? You say the Tiger? This product can't be output, so don't worry about it for now.

But Hipper doesn't know the location of the other 4 queens now, and the other side is also a fast battleship, so if you want to catch up, you should be ready to run a marathon. If there are 4 more queens, Hipper will not be able to eat and walk around, and now that the Grand Fleet is still in the North Sea, it is difficult to say what their reaction will be after receiving this news, so after weighing it, Hipper decided to accept it when he sees .......
