"28 kilometers in a straight line! Due east! "When an officer sent the DF data to the control tower, the originally silent control tower quickly boiled! No one, including Prince Ruprecht, thought that the luck of the German Navy would be so good this time! Directly blocked the British fleet!

"The three seaplane carriers were ordered to immediately take off all seaplanes, unfurling a cordon. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"The seaplanes attached to the capital ships are ready to take off and are ready to carry out the corrective mission!"

"The light cruiser is ready to go out on a reconnaissance mission."

"The second detachment of fast battleships immediately followed. After making contact with the British fleet, immediately notify the Hippert fleet that the hunt has officially begun! "Orders were quickly transmitted to all combat positions through the ship's telephone. The German fleet began to stretch its limbs and polish its weapons like a titan ready to go into battle. Aim your sharp spearhead at the enemy in the distance.

"If our speed is not a problem, then we should only be 16 kilometers away from each other!" However, the god of fate played a joke with the German fleet at this time. After determining the position of the British fleet half an hour earlier, the German fleet walked in the predicted direction for half an hour and did not find the British fleet. The planes in the air also did not find their targets because of the smoke.

"Give a signal to the second battleship detachment behind to make our formation slightly larger, and at the same time order the 5th and 6th destroyer detachments to move south. Report as soon as you find a target, and don't attack without permission. The prince was also a little worried now, looking at the white sea fog outside the window, he directly ordered the alert range of the fleet to be expanded again!

However, just as the prince was looking for Thomas's fleet in the morning mist, a rumbling cannon suddenly came out in the distance! What is unexpected is that the Scheer fleet, which is responsible for interception, did not find the opponent at the first time, and the Hipper's fleet, which was on track, collided with the opponent first!

As the vanguard of the Hipper's fleet, 4 light cruisers of the 3rd Light Cruiser Detachment under the command of Rear Admiral Bodick took the lead with 2 destroyer detachments. A detachment of destroyers fanned out in front of the target in search of targets, while the other four light cruisers lined up in a battle line to be on the alert for possible dangers, and according to the results of the chart operation, they should have been no more than 12 kilometers away from the British fleet. And because of the morning fog, they still didn't find their target, until a gust of sea breeze blew through and blew the sea fog a little lighter......

Then a large, but somewhat vague figure appeared in front of Major General Bodick. And at this time, the detachment of German light cruisers was not even 9000 meters away from the other side!

"Tell Lieutenant General Hipper immediately that we have found the target!" Rear Admiral Bodick said loudly, and then, 4 light cruisers immediately aimed their guns at this behemoth in the morning fog, and a detachment of destroyers was also ready for a lightning strike, and at 7:50 a.m., the first shot was fired in this engagement off the coast of Forth Bay!

Well, the current situation is a bit like 4 hyenas challenging a strong male lion! THE BRITISH DIDN'T EXPECT TO BE AMBUSHED WHEN THEY WERE ALMOST AT HOME, SO UNSURPRISINGLY, THE DISCOVERED TIGER BATTLECRUISER WAS CONFUSED BY AS MANY AS 24 175MM GUNS!

Even under the cover of sea fog, the muzzle flashes and deafening sounds of a barrage of medium-caliber guns were enough to point the British and Germans in the direction at the same time! A SEMI-ARMOR-PIERCING PROJECTILE WEIGHING 68KG FLEW OVER EACH OTHER IN LESS THAN 20 SECONDS AND LANDED ON THE UNSUSPECTING BATTLECRUISER TIGER! From the telescope, a little bit of fire rises from time to time on this behemoth. The flames from the explosion of the picric acid explosives spread rapidly across the deck of the Tiger like flowing magma. And a few minutes later, 6 destroyers also engaged in lightning strike operations, rushing towards the target like piranhas smelling blood!

"Damn, we're under attack, immediately signal General Thomas, and then, release smoke to evade." The person who served as the captain of the Tiger at this time was also an old acquaintance of the prince and Hipper-Vice Admiral Betty, well, he is now a rear admiral, as for the original captain of the Tiger, Colonel Perry, because in the last naval battle, the Tiger did not even get more than 3 hits! As a result, the exposed Sir Fisher thought it was a disgrace to the Royal Navy, so he involuntarily sent him to retire on an old armored cruiser, and the vacated spot was reserved for Rear Admiral Betty, who was demoted and retained.

In terms of professionalism, Betty is much stronger than Colonel Perry, in just a few minutes, he judged that the other party should be a group of light cruisers, it stands to reason that the battle cruiser killing the light cruiser is definitely a one-sided slaughter, but in the case of low visibility on the sea, who can be sure that the other party will not launch a lightning strike? And German light cruiser sorties were generally with torpedo boats!

Therefore, Betty, whose IQ is still above the level, decisively chooses to distance herself and notifies Lieutenant General Thomas, who is in front! The reaction speed of the British was still very fast, and the Tiger and the New Zealand behind began to distance themselves, and at this time, the 4 light cruisers of the British 4th reconnaissance cruiser detachment at the tail of the fleet also killed from the side with a squadron of destroyers!

If anyone can clear the clouds, then now, the Hipper fleet and the Thomas fleet are already intertwined! Rear Admiral Bodick's detachment of light cruisers was inserted into the middle and aft part of the British fleet, with 5 Queen Elizabeth-class battleships directly under Thomas in front and two battle cruisers and a light cruiser detachment in the back. And less than 10 kilometers behind Rear Admiral Bodick is Hipper's fleet, and if there is no sea fog, Hipper can already attack!

THE GERMAN LIGHT CRUISER ELBIN, WHICH WAS AT THE REAR, WAS THE FIRST TO SPOT THE ENGLISH LIGHT CRUISER THAT WAS QUICKLY RUSHING OUT OF THE SEA FOG, AND AFTER GIVING THE FLAGSHIP AN EARLY WARNING SIGNAL, 6 175MM GUNS IMMEDIATELY AIMED AT THE SHIP'S FLAGSHIP, THE BIRKENHEAD!

Adhering to the caliber is justice! QUANTITY IS THE PRINCIPLE OF TRUTH, AND THE 6 175MM GUNS ON THE GERMAN LIGHT CRUISERS WERE NATURALLY A NOTCH HIGHER THAN THE SAME NUMBER OF 6-INCH GUNS ON THE BRITISH LIGHT CRUISERS. THE BRITISH, WHO HAD JUST SPOTTED THEIR OPPONENT IN THE SEA FOG, WERE HIT HEAD-ON BY TWO SHELLS WEIGHING 68 KG - ONE SHELL EACH FROM THE BRIDGE AND CONNING TOWER OF THE BERKENHEAD, AND COUNTLESS FRAGMENTS AND FLAMES RAMPAGE ACROSS THE BRIDGE, LEAVING A GROUND OF BLOOD AND A BROKEN CABIN. And then a succession of shells fell on the foredeck of the light cruiser, and the dense fire suppressed the poor light cruiser for the first time.
