Although it was a little far away, the British fleet had already begun to shoot, and in the distance where the sea and the sky met, a series of shining fires filled it, and in each kind of time, the light could capture hundreds of flashes, and hundreds of tons of shells flew over a distance of 20 kilometers and landed 1,000 meters away from the high seas fleet, but even so, the columns of water raised by the shells still obscured the moving fleet. The incessant sound of explosions and the stormy waters still made the German fleet tremble!

"It's okay, they can't hit us. "Looking at the officers around him who were a little nervous, the prince said lightly, 20 kilometers hit the target?www.biquge.info In World War I, there seems to be no such record of naval warfare!

"Your Excellency Commander, the German fleet is sailing in the opposite direction parallel to ours, at a distance of 20 kilometers!" An officer reported to Jericho.

"We basically missed them. And they are moving at high speed in the opposite direction to us! There's a conspiracy! Jericho's Chief of Staff Charles. Lieutenant General Madden said.

"The fleet turned 3 compass points to the south. We copy them back. Jericho said as he looked at the German fleet that was moving away from him quickly. Accompanied by flags and radio waves, the entire British main fleet quickly understood Jericho's order, and under the leadership of 5 revenge-class battleships, the British fleet began to sail south, and the huge fleet, which was originally in a straight line, formed a huge and gentle arc.

"Very good, I guessed what I wanted to do, but unfortunately I didn't move fast enough!" The prince's original intention was to sail quickly to the west, and then to the north, so that the entire German fleet would be flanked and reared by the British fleet, and the line of battle would be spread. At the same time, because of the advantage of speed, you can chase and fight all the time. The British Grand Fleet will fall into a situation where it will not be able to run away and not be able to fight. But alas, before the German fleet unfolded, Jericho was already aware of the prince's intentions, and the fleet in front began to outflank the German fleet, which complicated the situation a lot.

"If we had sailed faster, we might have been able to maneuver ahead of the Grand Fleet and spread the battle line." Scheer said with some regret that at this time, the average speed of the entire German fleet was about 22 knots, and according to the Rear Admiral's intentions, if it could be increased to more than 25 knots, it would be a good chance.

"Do you really think we're going to win if you take the position? It wasn't that easy, and today I was sure to get a dominant position, but the result was probably very different from what you thought. The prince said with a smile.

At this time, if the German fleet wanted to go, it would be very easy, it would be enough to turn to the south, and it was precisely because it could break away at any time, so the prince was not in a hurry to go back, he wanted to see what would happen to the British in a passive situation. At this time, the German fleet once again adjusted its formation and sailed in a northwesterly direction. Still, a move was made to unfold in the rear of the British fleet.

"Be quick! Be sure to be fast! Make the revenge ahead faster! Otherwise, it's too late. Looking at the trajectory of the German fleet on the chart, Jericho was more sure of his judgment, and he asked the fleet to be faster!

"In that case, the Revenge-class battleships will break away from this team, and the ships behind us will reach a maximum speed of 17 knots!" Chief of Staff Madden said.

"Let the 2nd and 4th detachments of light cruisers and 3 groups of torpedo boats cover Vice Admiral Bernie's detachment." Jericho ordered. At this time, Jericho had to preemptively attack behind the German ass before the German fleet opened the battle line, because there was no fast fleet to pinn down, so Jericho could only order the newest and fastest Retribution-class battleship to go first, but in order to ensure safety, he still arranged enough covering troops for the Retribution-class.

At this time, the British fleet, which was like a giant dragon, had formed a huge smooth fold line, and the dragon-like revenge-class battleships increased their speed even further, trying to attack the German battleships from the rear!

"The head of the British Grand Fleet is still about 27 kilometers away from us, and we are about 20 kilometers away from the tail of the British Grand Fleet in a straight line, and we seem to be one step faster." Scheer looked at the 4 battleships of the 5th battleship detachment in the tail of the Grand Fleet in the distance, and there was almost fire in his eyes!

"The fleet turns to 16 compass points! Heading southeast! Expand the battle line! Instantly! Right away! The prince commanded.

"That would collide with the front column of the Grand Fleet! We could have hit them straight on their T-shaped crossheads! Why should it be! Scheer exclaimed with an expression of disbelief!

"That's why you have to hurry, execute the order immediately!" The prince ignored Scheer's Mandarin and immediately spoke to the herald next to him. And the latter, after realizing that this was the order of the Supreme Commander, decisively went to carry it out!

So, in today's encounter, the High Seas Fleet made its first 180-degree turn, changing from a course to a course to a southeast! The 2nd Battleship Squadron, headed by the battleship Saxony, bore the lead and began to turn. Then the third battleship detachment, and then the main team led by the prince, a total of 16 capital ships were connected end to end in turn, and in front of the British, the main force of the High Seas Fleet showed its heroic posture for the first time!

Nine Bavaria-class battleships took the lead and headed for the front of the Vengeance-class battleships. Then there were the Helgran-class battleships, and finally the fast fleet of Hipper. A 6-kilometer-long battle line was completed in less than 10 minutes. The dragon-like formation was almost across the front of the Vengeance-class battleship when it was complete!

"Hold the grass!" Vice Admiral Bernie, who was in command of 5 revenge-class battleships, felt black at that time! The Germans moved too fast, too much to expect! After making trouble for a long time, people did not plan to chase and attack the weak ships in the rear of the Grand Fleet, but directly locked the target on themselves! At this time, the revenge-class battleships had already opened a distance of at least 4 kilometers or so from the main force of the Grand Fleet in the rear!

"The fleet turned to the northeast! All ships release smoke! Let's hurry away and inform Admiral Jericho that the enemy ship is heading southeast! Head southeast! Lieutenant General Bernie said to his subordinates almost as he roared.

"Perfect calculation." At the same time, in the conning tower of the Bavaria, Admiral Scheer, who had just been frightened into a cold sweat, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and now the situation was very good, at the last moment, the German fleet took advantage of the speed advantage and finally occupied the T-shaped cross in front of the British fleet, and at this time, the distance between the two sides was very good, the distance between each other was 17 kilometers, and it had entered the effective range of the German fleet.
