Chapter 866: Can't Go!
In less than half an hour, 3 British light cruisers and 7 destroyers, the headquarters of the German High Seas Fleet had never fought such a happy battle, which was also a little tribute to the heroic spirit in the Battle of Helgrand Bay. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info, however, this is just the beginning.
"Did you hit it?" Eight minutes into the start of the battle, the German fleet had not yet made a hit, which made the prince feel a little dissatisfied, although there were objective reasons that could explain everything, such as the fact that the British fleet was facing away from the sun, and the opponent was releasing smoke, and it was turning at high speed, and the rate of change in speed was very large.
But consider the historical Battle of Jutland, at 15:48 the mast of the Lütsov raised the signal "shelling begins", and three minutes later, Lütsov fired two shells into the Lion's secondary gun gallery, and a minute later, Moltke also hit the front deck of the opposing side. Even with the British fleet in a bad position, the Queen Mary opened the scoring at the 10-minute mark. Of course, at this time, the fleets of the two sides were almost parallel, and there was no smoke screen interference, and the distance between the two sides was only 15,400 meters at the beginning of the war, and later it was even closer to 11,800 meters, but this result still made the prince a little unsatisfied.
The British fleet in the distance began to turn, and the first to pass was the Lion, and the Lion turned around, and the Queen Mary followed, and the Tiger also turned around! The Last Princess Celestia is complete! Fleet maneuver complete! Prepare to expedite the evacuation! After seeing that the last battlecruiser had successfully passed the most dangerous part and slowed down, the entire fleet was at about 23 knots at this time. Betty finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the acceleration was added to join the Moore fleet and the Jerram fleet, then it was okay to fight back, Betty's pride and ambition did not allow him to be defeated like this, absolutely not!
"Hipper's deflated three, Lao Tzu knows! beat his little brother in front of him back then, how can he back down now? (Battle of Hergrande Bay)," Betty thought to herself.
At this time, the light cruiser formation in front of Betty could already see the clear shadow of the Moore fleet hurrying from the north, and at this moment, a 15-inch shell flew from nowhere and smashed straight on the deck of the Queen Mary! A massive pillar of fire shot into the sky, the impact of the impact throwing a large amount of deck debris and wreckage into the air.
The 850KG shell went all the way down, successfully tore through the deck and dome, and smashed headlong next to the steam turbine engine room. Unfortunately, however, this is a dud ....... But even so, this "solid iron lump" weighing hundreds of kilograms still killed the condenser of the main engine on the left side of the Queen Mary! And what was even more unexpected to the British was that when the shells and condensers shattered into countless fragments at the same time, the violent impact even caused damage to the bottom of the battleship, and a large amount of seawater poured in from the gaps, gradually filling the entire steam engine room on the left side!
"The Queen Mary can't go......." When Betty saw the billowing smoke coming from the side of the battleship Queen Mary behind her and the signal flag hanging from the mast, Betty had at least 200,000 alpacas swarming in her heart! This TM is so unlucky!
"General, what should we do?" The officer's voice next to him trembled slightly. Drops of cold sweat fell from his head. Although there were loud noises outside from time to time. But at this time, the bridge of the Lion was terrifyingly quiet, and everyone was waiting for Betty to come up with an idea.
Hamlet once said that survival or destruction is a question worth thinking about, and now, Betty is also faced with such a choice, throwing or not throwing is a question worth thinking about....... Although Betty is not sure of the composition of the opposing fleet, it is certain that this is definitely a fast fleet, and it may not be able to catch up with the lions and tigers, but it is no problem to throw the queens off the street. And now that the speed of the Queen Mary is decreasing, it would be nice to be able to maintain 20 knots in the end, throw away the Queen Mary, and the other three battlecruisers will hopefully escape, and if they don't throw it away, 4 to 7!
"The destroyer releases a smoke screen." It took a full minute for Betty to squeeze out these words between her teeth, and those who knew him well knew that he was hesitating and hesitating! I'm even a little scared! "Have the Queen Mary repair it immediately."
"Your Excellency Commander, the Queen Mary was directly hit by the main gun, the entire condenser has been destroyed, and the water in the engine room on the left side is half a meter deep!" An officer said loudly.
"Let the Queen Mary be repaired! Instantly! Right away! He'll be able to fix it! Betty was not loud, but there was no doubt about it. We moved closer to the Moore fleet, and let Vice Admiral Jeram want to move closer to me at all costs. Contact Major General Hood, we need support. ”
"The British have released the smoke screen again, and it seems that they are going to run away?" Scheer said after looking at the British battlecruiser formation that was once again shrouded in smoke, and his tone was very flat.
"It's also possible that it's procrastinating. They didn't want to abandon that battlecruiser. The prince thought for a moment and said. If you want to run, you can just accelerate directly, and if you run at a high speed of 28 knots, even if you put a smoke screen, you will quickly rush out, which is very limited. After all, it is impossible for the smoke screen to keep up with the battleship at a speed of more than 50 kilometers per hour. If you can keep up, it will be the demon fog of the old demon of Montenegro....... So at this time, the fundamental reason why Betty released the smokescreen again was to delay time!
For Betty's psychology, the prince grasped it very well, and the prince encountered too many of this dilemma, for example, in the previous life, when you were fighting Warcraft, you were playing the Red Dot Monster and then were caught from behind by the 80-population three-orc troops, and you didn't return to the city with a population of 60, and the three heroes of the family, Kodo, Poison Wyvern, Big Headhunter, Big G, and Wolf Rider all have it. If the wolf is riding the web is a spider, then it should be thrown ....... But what if it's an ice dragon that's being netted? At this time, if you are a little irrational, you will turn around and play a wave, and then eighty percent will go directly to GG.
And at this time, Betty was also very entangled, a light cruiser formation went up, and three of the four ships were missing, which was a bit miserable, but it didn't matter, the British Empire didn't care. How much does a light cruiser cost? It's only about £400,000. But if a battle cruiser, especially the latest battle cruiser, were to be gone, the British Empire's Grand Fleet would not be very heart-wrenching...... either.
But Betty couldn't stand it. Because, to correct this tragic situation, Betty has to carry at least 6% of the pot and throw off other warships without authorization, which can make him choke! And it's even more serious than the signal transmission error in the historic Battle of Dogger Sandbank, because there is little room for justification.
