In the bright moonlight, although the figures of the eight battleships appeared a little blurred, the general outlines could still be distinguished. The sudden appearance of eight battleships shocked the retreating German fleet, and everyone's minds were full of questions. For the old rival British Navy, the German Navy is also very well understood. For the capital ships of the British Navy, it was the focus of the German Navy and intelligence services. This time the British Navy has hidden 5 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships, which has made the German Navy suffer enough, if the British Navy still hides eight advanced battleships, it is either that the British Navy is too cunning, or the people in the German Navy and intelligence services are idiots.

"General, the light cruiser 'Regensburg' reports that the fleet in front is the U.S. Navy, and every battleship has an American flag on it!" Communications officer to Reinhardt. Admiral Scheer reported.

"Americans? Damn it! How dare these Americans meddle in the war in Europe! "Reinhardt. Admiral Scheer suddenly realized. These warships belong to the US Navy, so they all understand as soon as they are qiē. The British Navy, which has always been arrogant and considers itself the best in the world, did not hesitate to put down its face and cooperate with the US Navy in order to defeat the German Navy in one fell swoop in this naval battle, which shows the importance they attach to the German Navy. However, this was not a good thing for the German Navy. With the interception of the US Navy in front and the pursuit of the British Navy in the back, the German fleet in the middle was in a worrying situation. It would be even more difficult to bring the main forces of the German Navy back to Germany.

Reinhart. Admiral Scheer frowned, although the American fleet in front of him only had eight battleships, all of them were extremely advanced battleships. The four largest battleships were almost identical to the British Navy's 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships. Admiral Scheer knows. This is the 'Pennsylvania-class' battleship of the US Navy. However, the US Navy's 'Pennsylvania-class' battleships were actually commissioned ahead of schedule, and it seems that the Americans' shipbuilding capabilities are also very strong. The other four slightly smaller battleships were the 'Nevada-class' battleships modeled after the British Navy's 'Iron Duke-class' battleships. Also a world-class battleship. This time, in order to cooperate with the British Navy, the Americans seem to have taken out all their old books.

"General, what should we do now?" Rear Admiral Schmidt, commander of the 1st Battleship Detachment of the High Seas Fleet of the German Navy, asked. If there was no British navy to pursue behind, the current strength of the German navy would be enough to make these Yankees pay a heavy price. But not now, once entangled by the American fleet. If the British fleet behind it catches up, the main force of the German Navy's high seas fleet will probably be lost here. This was undoubtedly worse for the German fleet, which already knew that the naval battle was lost and wanted to preserve its naval strength.

"How long will it take for the British fleet to catch up?" Reinhart. Admiral Scheer asked.

"The British fleet is catching up at a speed of 20 knots, if we are entangled by the Americans. It only takes them a maximum of twenty minutes to be able to join the battlefield. Major General Schmidt said worriedly. The British Navy still had more than twenty battleships. If they were to flank the German navy with the American fleet, they would be able to achieve almost twice the number of battleships.

"Damn! Order the ships to be ready for battle! Turn left 35 degrees and head northeast! Since these Americans are looking for death, let them taste our awesomeness, and let them know that the Navy is not something that these nouveau riche can play! "Reinhardt. Admiral Scheer said through gritted teeth. The American fleet was right in front of the German fleet, if it wanted to get around. That would be almost impossible, and at the same time it would be fiercely attacked by eight powerful battleships of the American fleet. Reinhart. Admiral Schell hoped to turn around and engage the American fleet and let the American fleet know the strength of the German navy so that they could retreat. That's the case. There may be a silver lining.

"Yes, General!" Major General Schmidt nodded. Now the German Navy has no choice, in the case of interception in front and pursuers in the rear. I had to fight hard.

The battle line, consisting of 19 battleships of the German Navy, began to turn around as a whole and repositioned. Four battleships of the 'Bavarian class' with powerful firepower were at the forefront. They will be the main force against the four 'Pennsylvania-class' battleships of the US Navy. This was followed by two 'King-class' battleships, the 'King' and the 'Elector'. This was followed by the 'Caesar', 'Frederick the Great' and 'King Albert', followed by the 'Helgoland', 'Ostfrisland', 'Oldenburg', 'Rhine' and 'Bayer', and finally several battleships of the 'Nassau' class, 'Nassau', 'Rhineland', 'Posen', 'Hanover' and 'Hesse'.

On the battleship Pennsylvania, the flagship of the American fleet, William Brown. Admiral Benson immediately understood the intentions of the German fleet when he found out that the German fleet was beginning to turn. William. Admiral Benson ordered the fleet to prepare for battle, and at the same time ordered a telegram to be sent to the British fleet, asking them to come quickly. Otherwise, the United States will love you, and the eight battleships that are right will not be able to withstand a dozen battleships of the German fleet at all. The eight battleships of the American Expeditionary Fleet were also lined up in a battle line, and in front of them were four 'Pennsylvania-class' battleships, including 'Pennsylvania', 'Missouri', 'New Jersey', 'Iowa', four 'Nevada-class' battleships, 'Nevada', 'Oklahoma', 'Kentucky', 'Illinois'.

At 8:55 p.m., the distance between the German and American fleets was reduced to 10,000 meters, and an exchange of fire began. Although the visibility on the sea surface is not as good as at night, under the moonlight, even if it is 10,000 meters away, you can still see a vague shadow. Although it will affect the accuracy of the hit, it will not cause much trouble to the shelling.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The German Navy began a salvo first, and the four 'Bavaria-class' battleships aimed at the 'Pennsylvania' and 'Missouri' of the two 'Pennsylvania-class' battleships in the front, and the 'King' and 'Elector' in the back joined forces against the 'New Jersey.'" The Caesar, Frederick the Great, and King Albert joined forces against the Iowa. The four 'Nevada-class' battleships of the US Navy were handed over to the next 12 battleships, basically three against one. The German fleet had a large numerical advantage. However, this advantage is time-limited, and once the British fleet arrives, their advantage will disappear in an instant.

The sky-high column of water rose on the left side of the battleship 'Pennsylvania', and although it was the first salvo, the nearest point of impact was only more than 300 meters from the 'Pennsylvania', which was still under the moonlight, and it was not very clear to see, and if it was in the daytime, the German fleet's shelling would be more accurate.

On the battleship 'Pennsylvania', William. Admiral Benson was also taken aback, at least, the U.S. Navy would never be able to make such a result. The German Navy first began to command the attack, and the American fleet immediately began to counterattack. It's just that the level of their shelling is somewhat out of reach. Fortunately, it was at night, and the level of artillery shelling by the German Navy had dropped considerably, and if it had been during the day, the American fleet would have been in danger long ago.

At 8:58 p.m., the battleship 'Kentucky' of the U.S. Navy was hit by the battleship 'Nassau'. Although the battleship Nassau's main guns were only 280 mm, they were not able to penetrate the armor of the Kentucky's foreguns, but they set the Kentucky's foredeck on fire. This has undoubtedly become the best guide under the night sky. The level of artillery shelling of the German Navy, guided by the light of fire, instantly increased by a level.

Although the captain of the battleship "Kentucky" also realized that something was wrong, he immediately ordered the damage management personnel to extinguish the fire. But during this time, the Kentucky became a complete magnet for shells. Even if the armor of the battleship 'Kentucky' was relatively thick, it was difficult to resist.

At 9 p.m., the 'Kentucky' was hit again, and the 'Bayer' and 'Rhineland' hit the battleship one after the other. Although it did not sink the Kentucky, it did set the battleship on fire.

The Kentucky had to pay homage to William. Admiral Benson asked for instructions and asked for an immediate withdrawal from the fighting. Otherwise, there is a high chance of being sunk.

William. Admiral Benson was also reluctant to start the battle, and within a few minutes of commanding the American fleet, the battleship was sunk, and agreed to the evacuation of the "Kentucky". Although the "Kentucky" was withdrawn, it put the remaining warships of the American fleet in an even more dangerous situation.

Clusters of orange-red fire shone in the thick muzzles of the guns, and the German Navy and the American Expeditionary Fleet fought desperately on the sea. The German Navy, which had this numerical advantage, fought very easily, even if the accuracy of the shelling decreased a lot due to the influence of night, but it also frequently hit the American fleet.

At 9:02 a.m., the USS Missouri of the U.S. fleet caught fire and suffered heavy losses during the siege and had to flee in a frenzy.

Five minutes later, the battleships "Iowa" and "Nevada" were also heavily damaged and almost lost their combat effectiveness. And the losses of the German Navy were minimal. However, the good fortune of the German Navy also came to an end, and the British fleet rushed to the battlefield, appeared in the northeast, and blocked the way of the German Navy. The German Navy seems to have no other way than to fight to the death!
