"Order the 1st Battleship Detachment and the 2nd Battleship Detachment to form a battle line, and the 3rd Battleship Detachment and the 4th Battleship Detachment to form a battle line!" Reinhart? Admiral Scheer ordered.

There were 23 battleships in the High Seas Fleet, and if they all formed a battle line, the battle line would be too long, and the flagship, located in front of the battle line, would not know what was going on behind it. Therefore, it is more appropriate to form two battle lines.

Of the two battle lines, the 1st line was naturally the main force, with 12 battleships, five 'Bavaria-class' battleships, five 'King-class' battleships, and two 'Caesar-class' battleships.

The 2nd Battleline consisted of three Caesar-class battleships, four Helgoland-class battleships, and four Nassau-class battleships.

On the battleship 'Revenge', the flagship of the Combined Fleet, John? Admiral Jericho is also making operational deployments.

"The Germans are divided into two battle lines, so let's do as they wish. Let General Martin lead his 11 battleships against the German line of battle, which had only 11 battleships. The remaining 15 capital ships, another line of battle against the Germans. We are running out of time, and we must defeat the Germans before their battlecruisers return. Otherwise, we will be at an absolute disadvantage! "John? Admiral Jericho ordered.

David? Lieutenant General Betty nodded, for John? Admiral Jericho did not have the slightest objection to this arrangement.

John? Admiral Jericho's intention was undoubtedly to assemble 15 capital ships and first defeat the German Navy's battle line of 12 battleships. In this battle, they had the advantage of three battleships. If we can win, then the next battle will be much easier.

But only if they can win.

The 1st Battleline of the German Navy, although there were only 12 battleships, were the most advanced and powerful battleships of the German Navy. The 'Bavaria-class' battleships and the 'King-class' battleships were powerful battleships with thick armor and 380 mm guns. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most powerful battleship in the world. Two 'Caesar-class' battleships, although armed with 343 mm guns. But the 343 mm main gun, which is 50 times the caliber, still has a very strong armor-piercing ability.

Both sides wanted to have this matchup, so the fight naturally began.

The 1st Battleline of the German Navy sailed to the southeast, and the 2nd to the southwest. This naval battle was divided into two battlefields. Dozens of capital ships on both sides can also be used.

The Combined Fleet of the Entente followed suit. From the point of view of time, in order to defeat the German Navy before the German Navy's battle cruisers arrived on the battlefield, the Allied Combined Fleet could not wait for a showdown.

Half an hour later, the battle began. The 1st battle line of the British Navy took the lead in the beginning of the shelling. 15 battleships, in terms of numbers, undoubtedly had a great advantage over the 12 battleships of the 12th battleline of the German Navy.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The four twin 381-mm guns of the battleship 'Revenge' were the first to fire. Immediately afterwards, the battleships 'Determination', HMS Elizabeth, 'War Wey', 'Warrior', 'Tiger', 'Giant' and 'Dreadnought' also opened fire. The battleships 'Normandy', 'Gascony', 'Verdeland', 'Brittany' and 'Lone' of the French Navy, 'André? The battleships 'Duirio' and 'Count Cavour' also began firing.

John? Admiral Jericho was clearly aware of the power of the German Navy's 'Bavaria-class' and 'King-class' battleships. So, he put the breakthrough on the two 'Caesar-class' battleships located behind the battle line.

The five battleships of the French Navy, at the end of the battle line, were given the order to attack with all their strength and sink the two battleships of the German Navy. As for the rest of the German battleships, the other battleships on the battle line would have dragged on.

This task made Admiral Lame very satisfied. In his opinion, there should be no problem with the five battleships of the French Navy sinking two battleships of the German Navy.

Under the orders of Admiral Lame, the three 'Normandy-class' battleships attacked the German battleship 'King Albert', which was the second-to-last battleship of the battle line, and the remaining battleships 'Brittany' and 'Loneba' laid siege to the battleship 'Regent Louitpold', which was at the end of the battle line.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The shells kept falling into the sea, splashing up columns of water that rushed to the sky.

On the battleship 'Bavaria', the flagship of the German Navy, Reinhardt? Admiral Scheer's face did not change. Lieutenant General Hipper had already gone to command the 2nd Front.

"Humph! The British have placed their hopes of victory on us. Did he really think that with those garbage battleships, he would be able to defeat us? Order the ships, start firing, and let the British, French and Italians see that the battleships of the German Empire are the most powerful in the world! "Reinhardt? Admiral Scheer snorted coldly.

The Combined Fleet was on this battle line, although there was a numerical superiority of three battleships. However, their disadvantages are not small. Like the battleship "Giant" and the battleship "Dreadnought", it is simply used to replenish the number. Its 45-caliber 305-mm guns were nothing for the thick armor of the German Navy's 'King-class' battleships. If you want to penetrate the armor of the 'King-class' battleship, it is simply impossible. Reinhart? Admiral Schell was fully convinced that the Combined Fleet had already sunk the battleships "King Albert" and "Regent Louitpold" of the German Navy, they had already sunk the battleships "Giant" and "Dreadnought". The 380mm guns of the 'King-class' battleships could easily tear their armor apart.

At the moment, the distance between the two battle lines is 15 km. The German Navy deliberately kept this distance, since the main guns of their battleships were all large-caliber main guns. At this distance, performance can be fully exploited. Among the battleships of the Combined Fleet, many battleships used 305 mm guns. At this distance, the 305-mm gun suffered somewhat. Because the distance was too long, the shells of the 305-mm main gun were too light, and they were floating when they were hit, and it was not easy to hit the target.
