Hipper knew exactly what his orders meant, and led his already scarred battle cruiser fleet to assault the British fleet in the face of the enemy's heavy artillery fire, which was almost like suicide. In fact, the vice admiral was ready to sacrifice himself in exchange for the opportunity to turn around the entire main fleet for riches.

The "Lützov" raised the battle flag of the full-speed assault, and the seven battle cruisers of the entire German battle cruiser launched a decisive charge against the British fleet, and the entire fleet maintained an angle of about 60 degrees with the battle line formed by the British battleships, and rushed diagonally towards the battle line of the British Grand Fleet at a high speed of 23 knots.

"Oh my God, the Germans are crazy!" By the time the German fleet approached about 11,000 meters, the "Giant", which was in the middle of the British battle line, had already seen Hipper's intentions, and the commander of the flagship of the 5th battleship detachment, Rear Admiral Gaunt, let out an exclamation.

In addition to "von. Morality. The "Tann" and "Moltke", the German battlecruisers and the two Austro-Hungarian battlecruisers were armed with 330 mm naval guns, and they could pose a considerable threat to the battleships. Rear Admiral Gaunt then had to give the order to abandon the attack on the main force of the German High Seas Fleet and turn the guns to deal with the onslaught of Hipper.

Vice Admiral Hipper's flagship "Lützov" took the lead and rushed to the front, and there were 16 British battleships in front of it, and soon multiple large-caliber shells were hit, and a 15-inch shell directly penetrated the front Anna turret and exploded inside, killing all the officers and men inside the turret. The propellant in the gun chamber caught fire and spread to the bomb bay below.

Due to the reinforced protection of the ammunition compartment on the German capital ships, thank goodness these gunpowders simply burned and did not explode. The damage management team urgently filled the two turrets with water to prevent the fire from expanding and detonating the ordnance. Only 5 of the 78 officers and men had crawled out of the bomb clamor at the top of the turret and had been burned by Yanzhòng, and the remaining 73 were either burned or drowned. At 6:46, a second 15-inch shell pierced the roof of the Dora turret, and the same tragedy happened again, only one gunner, standing near the open hatch, was thrown by the blast of air, and the remaining 80 officers and men were killed in an instant. Poison gas began to seep into the Shot Control Command Chamber, and everyone had to evacuate.

Orders to the firing room could only be issued by microphone, which was then transmitted to the turret by telephone. By this time, the British fleet had already measured the distance, and the shooting was more concentrated and accurate.

At this time, the seven German-Austrian battlecruisers were only 7,700 yards away from the British battleship Giant, and at this distance even the thickest armor of the "Queen Elizabeth" class battleships was like tissue paper.

At 6:47, they saw the banner raised from the flagship "Frederick the Great", and the main German fleet had completed its turn and began to attack the advance guard of the British columns. At this time, the signal flag was also raised on the "Lützov", and Captain Hader commanded the flagship to begin to take the lead in accelerating away from the battlefield in a northwesterly direction.

Just as he turned, "von. Morality. The rear of the bridge of the Tann was hit, flying shrapnel pierced into the observation room, and the third gunnery officer and the officers and men next to the rangefinder were killed instantly. Flames raged across the turret deck, passing through the ventilators and burrowing into the starboard engine room, turning the cooler into a mess of garbage. The same tragedy repeated itself on every German battlecruiser, and at 6:53, when they determined that the main fleet had successfully turned, the 1st reconnaissance fleet led by Hipper had almost turned into a pile of scrap metal.

"Lützov" was hit with 10 15-inch shells, 3 13.5-inch shells, and 10 12-inch shells, and the entire warship was in flames, the bow was blown up, and up to 1,500 tons of water were flooded, and the foredeck was almost parallel to the sea. 8 rounds of 15-inch shells, 6 rounds of 13.5-inch shells, 8 rounds of 12-inch shells, 1 round of torpedoes, one turret remained, and the flames rose higher than the chimney.

was already covered with wounds." Morality. The "Tann" has all its main guns destroyed, it has long lost its combat capability, and its superstructure has become even more miserable. The other ships fared a little better, and although they were also in disarray, most of the main guns were able to continue fighting.

Thanks to the excellent design of the German designers, these warships maintained an intact queue and maintained their speed despite the fact that they were all covered in bruises.

Of course, there is a lot of luck involved.

Hipper led the battle cruiser fleet to exchange his life for the German fleet for fighters, and the main force of the High Seas Fleet, which had completed the turn, maintained a combat distance of about 13,000 meters with the British fleet and began to bombard each other. 17 against 28, the Germans still looked at an absolute inferiority, but the 2nd Battleship Detachment, located in front of the British battle line, 4 battleships of the "George V" class and 4 battleships of the "Orion" class, were too far from the target to actually become functional.

The cannon fire on the sea suddenly became dense, and the four "King" class battleships led by the German fleet withstood most of the British fire, and the flagship "King" was hit by one 15-inch shell, four 13.5-inch shells and nine 12-inch shells. The "Elector" received 5 rounds of 15-inch and 3 rounds of 13.5-inch shells, but the poor fuse of the British made the 12-inch cap-piercing shells simply impossible to pose a threat to the German battleships. Jericho had placed the weakest defenses of the "Bellerophon" and "Giant" class battleships at the rear of the battle, and now he was beginning to suffer.

Now the High Seas Fleet is ready to attack with all its might. The German "King" and "Caesar" class battleships used the same front and rear 3-2 combined knapsack four-main turret layout as the Austro-Hungarian "Istrian Grand Duke" class, and when they spread all their flank fire, 10 main guns fired a salvo together, it was really impressive.

As if the sea was boiling, shells rained down, and more than 400 large-caliber guns of the two fleets bombarded each other, and the officers and men on the ships were desperately firing shells at their opponents. Warheads weighing more than half a ton whizzed over the sea and smashed into the enemy's position.

The number of damaged warships on both sides gradually increased, and the sea was full of flames and smoke. Standing on the bridge of the "Frederick the Great", Scheer had been watching the battle on the sea, and the shape of the battlefield made him a little frustrated, and they put a trap on the British, but they did not think that they had jumped into the trap of the other party. In the distance, the "Bellerophon" and "Hercules" were on fire and were leaving the battlefield.

However, the British battleships were much stronger in defense than their battlecruisers, and although they suffered heavy losses, they would not be sunk lightly.

Suddenly, behind the British battle line, a huge fireball rose into the air, followed by a burst of cheers from the "Frederick the Great".

"Aginkut! Oh, my God! ”

"Report to the General, telegram back from the 'Governor of the Frontier' that Aginkut has been sunk!" Soon after, the communications officer had a telegram in his hand and hurriedly reported to him.
