York. Second Lieutenant Joe was a lookout on the battlecruiser Counterattack.

When the disastrous naval battle broke out in the early hours of December 1, it was his turn to be on duty at the lookout that day.

Ensign York's dream was to become a novelist after retiring from the army, and after the disastrous naval battle, he was lucky enough to survive and live until the end of the war.

He personally participated in this naval battle and stood on a high lookout to "watch" the whole process. Decades later, out

A book entitled "The War with the Devil" was published, which recorded in detail the battles of the Royal Navy and the German Navy in the Atlantic, and the first of them, the naval battle, recorded in great detail the entire course of the naval battle on the night of December 1.

This is a best-selling book in Germany and England, and the book is about this "return to the carbine" battle.

"After finally driving away the 'Demon Twin Ships' that attacked our fleet, my heart that had been hanging for a long time finally relaxed."

"At the very beginning of the naval battle, I was surprised that the rearguard fleet was attacked by the Germans, but I was not at all worried. The Royal Navy was confident in the face of any adversary at any time, at least that night, before that war, when we, the proud Royal Navy of Great Britain and the heirs of the great Nelson's will, were invincible in all seas for a hundred years! We have nothing to fear. ”

"But our confidence was shattered little by little by the 'Demon Twins' five minutes after the artillery battle began that night."

Before the outbreak of World War II, as Germany was becoming more and more like a "religious country", the "superstition" of the German Navy became more and more strict, and its various "nervous" (British evaluation) superstitious behaviors were even called "the navy rampant with magic sticks" by the British. And the thorn in the side of the Royal Navy, the Shane sisters, the sailors of the British Navy invariably gave it a nickname: the Demon Gemini. This way of calling it has continued into the 21st century.

In the book "War with Demons", he first describes the scene he saw when he watched the first round of fierce fighting between the two sides on the lookout of the counterattack on his body. After "the Royal Navy fought valiantly and heroically against the demon fleet of the Germans" (in the original words of the book), York. Second Lieutenant Qiao, at this time, his mood recorded in the book has become a completely different matter.

"The Germans are finally gone! We finally survived! I was what I really thought about being a lookout at the time. Standing on the high lookout, watching the Prestige and the Hood being blown up by their opponents one by one, watching our naval guns hit the opposing warships and explode a cloud of sparks, but the opponents acted as if nothing had happened, and their nine sixteen-inch cannons continued to spew nine deadly fireworks in the dark night, and I no longer had the slightest confidence in our warships. ”

"The pre-war propaganda from the captain and the Navy to us said that those two were just two battle cruisers like us. But then I learned that it was a lie to us, Secretary of the Navy Churchill lied to us, in fact it were two battleships. God, we are only three battle cruisers, and all of them are "old women" old women over twenty years old! Lieutenant General Holland, who was able to change his military rank from lieutenant general to general, actually took us old women to challenge two newborn demons without hesitation!
