Chapter 1177: Deep Sea Killing
As for whether the Hipper fleet on the opposite side is 8 ships or 10 ships or more than 10 ships, in fact, it doesn't matter to the discerning person, thinking that no matter how many ships, you can't beat them, and the queen is the slowest among these ships, and it is not easy to get away. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info And for Betty's thin-skinned Battle Cruiser, whether it's a 14-inch gun or a 15-inch gun, you'll have no problem dropping it in seconds! So, under God's favor and without Hipper's discovery, Betty carefully took two battle cruisers to hide her figure in the sea fog, while Thomas's fleet was exposed to Hipper's shelling!
Of course, there are also accusations that Betty failed to share the pressure on Thomas's fleet. So much so that 5 Queens were attacked by the German fleet with absolute quantitative and qualitative superiority. But in fact, Thomas didn't even trouble Betty after the incident, Thomas deduced the situation afterwards, and considered what would happen if Betty was added when he was sure that the Hipper fleet was 7 capital ships.
First of all, the 4 Bavaria-class battleships of the Hipper's fleet had an absolute advantage over Thomas's 4 queens, and the other queen was also a tie with Moltke and his ilk in a short period of time. However, two battle cruisers against three more? Based on the experience of previous wars, with the RP of both sides balanced, the New Zealand and the Tiger could not hold out for long. And even if it is not killed in seconds, once there is too much water. After the arrival of the Scheer fleet, I'm afraid everyone won't be able to escape.
Thomas confessed after the war that the best option under the circumstances was not to fight and leave! Any thought left behind to try to win will only lose worse! Thomas realized that the crisis was not much later than Betty! When you find out that the situation is wrong for the first time, immediately release the smoke screen and talk nonsense, and when you find that the situation is not right, simply order the fleet to disband, and everyone runs their own way! Then there was the scene from the previous battle, where 3 of the 5 queens were killed by the murderous High Seas Fleet, Malaya fished in troubled waters, and then Thomas's flagship was running for his life....... Looking at the current situation, it seems that it is almost ...... death.
However, the god of fate is always so capricious. Just when Thomas didn't have much hope of survival, Betty appeared around with two battle cruisers, the sea fog still existed, Betty's fleet implemented strict radio control, Betty is now much more careful than Thomas, he suspects that the important reason for this exposure is that radio silence was not implemented when the fleet withdrew, the so-called eat a trench and grow wise, this time Betty is quite careful! However, his efforts were not in vain, at least when he discovered the detachment of German battlecruisers, the Germans did not discover them! Then a choice was placed in front of his eyes, looking at the three German battlecruisers in the distance, Betty began to think about whether he should walk away or help Thomas!
However, when it comes to the calculations, Betty thinks that her chances of victory are too small, and the two Moltke-class super dreadnought battlecruisers and a von der Tann on the opposite side are not afraid of a queen, a tiger and a New Zealand on their side. If nothing else, the situation of the battle should be like this. Ten minutes or so into the battle, there is a chance that the New Zealand will be seconded. YOUR TIGER MAY BE STRONGER, BUT AS LONG AS YOU HIT A 350MM HEAVY GUN IN THE RIGHT POSITION, YOU WILL HAVE TO KNEEL. And then? That's it!
What's more, the other side still has 3 light cruisers and a large number of destroyers, even if you can get some advantages with the help of sneak attacks at the beginning of this battle, you still have to kneel in front of the opponent's absolute strength. What's more, the main force of the High Seas Fleet is around, and I don't know when it will be killed, although I released a seaplane, and I probably know the situation, but the search ability in this era is definitely not comprehensive. If Betty attacks without permission, the danger is no different from pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth!
So, Betty is very entangled now, he is eager to prove himself through a battle, to save some face for the Royal Navy, but the great danger makes him stop, if nothing else, then Betty's result is to watch for a few more minutes, draw a cross for Thomas, pray a few words, and turn away from the .......
However, at this moment, the god of fate gently plucked the strings. Betty suddenly observed that the battleship Goburn, which was located in the middle of the queue, suddenly rose from the sidechord and a column of water tens of meters high! And then, the battle cruiser of the German Navy showed a noticeable shake in Betty's field of vision, and 2 minutes later, the lookout at the top of the mast came with the news that a German battlecruiser on the opposite side seemed to be out of formation!
"Damn, what's going on?!" Betty rubbed her eyes, showing some disbelief in what she was seeing. And almost at the same time, more than ten kilometers away, Feng. Rear Admiral Lefetsov also looked at the battlecruiser Goeben that suddenly stalled behind in surprise! Just half a minute ago, the battlecruiser Goeben, 500 meters from the flagship, suddenly heard two loud bangs! On the right side of the Goburn, two huge columns of water rose into the sky with the light of fire. Subsequently, the German battlecruiser began to rapidly tilt to the right. And the speed also began to drop from a high speed of more than 24 knots to about 17 knots, and the von der Tannen battle cruiser behind immediately changed course in order to avoid collision, and the originally neat formation quickly fell apart!
"Damn! It's the submarine of the British! "Feng. Rear Admiral Lefetsov immediately realized something, and when he calmed down, he felt that he was really a little too excited, all the light cruisers and destroyers were involved in the siege of the Queen Elizabeth class, and there was not a single destroyer by his capital ship, and the attack course was fixed, which allowed the opposing submarine to find a breakthrough. In fact, the success rate of a submarine attack on a high-speed battlecruiser was very low.
AND THIS TIME, SORRY, COUNT THE GERMANS UNLUCKY, THE BRITISH SUBMARINE TROUT SUCCEEDED IN A TORPEDO ATTACK AT A DISTANCE OF 1200 METERS FROM THE GERMAN FLEET, FIRST OF ALL, 2 TORPEDOES FROM THE STERN OF THE BOAT WERE FIRED, WHICH DID NOT HIT THE TARGET, AND AFTER TURNING, 4 FAN-FIRED 21-INCH (533MM) TORPEDOES FROM THE FRONT SUCCESSFULLY HIT 2! THE DESTRUCTIVE POWER OF THESE TWO SUBMARINE-LAUNCHED TORPEDOES, WEIGHING 1.5 TONS AND CHARGING UP TO 234KG, CANNOT BE SAID TO BE SMALL! If an ordinary British battleship was hit by one shot, it would be a half-crippled ending if it didn't die! What's more, the unlucky Goeben hit 2 shots at once!
After all, this is close to the doorstep of the British, and it is normal for some peripheral submarines to cruise. At night, the submarines did not detect the German fleet, which was simultaneously controlled by radio and light at high speeds, but during the day, when the telegram of the British Navy spread the news throughout the North Sea, more than two dozen submarines of the British Navy began to sail towards the target sea area. And the Trout was lucky to find an opponent!
