"Speed up to 25 knots and intercept all the Germans!" On the battlecruiser HMS Princess Royal, David Brown. Lieutenant General Betty shouted and gave orders. The maximum speed of the 'Lion-class' battlecruisers reached 27.5 knots, and the 'Invincible-class' battlecruisers also reached a maximum speed of 25.5 knots, and it was no problem to pursue the enemy at a speed of 25 knots in a short time. Although, the British Navy battle cruiser detachment now had only 4 battle cruisers left to continue operations, and the enemy had five more. But now Davy. Lieutenant General Betty was not at all afraid. Admiral Jericho had already arrived with the main forces of the home fleet, and as long as he intercepted the battlecruisers of the German Navy, then he would be able to regain the disadvantage!

The British Navy's battle cruiser detachment, with the 'Ark Royal', followed by the 'Tiger', 'Indomitable' and 'Indomitable' in good formation, under the protection of a number of light cruisers and destroyers, pursued the German Navy's reconnaissance detachment heading to the east at full speed.

"Your Excellency, the British have caught up. In this battle, the German Navy's watch xiàn was very impressive. Winning more with less cost the British! "On the battlecruiser 'De Fringel', Colonel Feng Zhongsheng sighed. The German Navy's cousin, even compared to the Chinese Navy, is not inferior. Although the development of the German Navy was more than ten years earlier than that of the Chinese Navy, until now, they have not experienced any naval battles, unlike the Chinese Navy, which has experienced many naval battles, and has made good use of each naval battle to hone itself.

"Germany's military personnel are the best in the world, not only in the army, but also in the navy!" Lieutenant General Hipperl said haughtily. Eight battle cruisers against ten battle cruisers of the British Navy, ending up with two sunk and one heavily damaged. sank 4 battle cruisers of the British Navy and severely damaged 2 battle cruisers, such a result was enough to make Vice Admiral Hippel famous in the world's navy.

The battle cruisers of the German Navy were slightly behind the battle cruisers of the British Navy in terms of speed because they paid more attention to the survivability of their battleships. Morality. The Tann-class battlecruisers had a maximum speed of only 24.8 knots, the Moltke-class battlecruisers had a maximum speed of 25.5 knots, and the D-Flinger-class battlecruisers had a maximum speed of only 26 knots. Now the fleet retreated at a rate of 23 knots. It was completely impossible to get away from the pursuit of the British fleet. Fortunately, Vice Admiral Hipper did not really want to retreat, but only temporarily retreated after the main force of the British Navy appeared. Meantime. Also in order to bring the British fleet into the trap that the German High Seas Fleet had long prepared.

Thirty nautical miles east of Lieutenant General Hipper, Reinhardt. The main forces of the German Navy's High Seas Fleet, led by Admiral Schell, were also sailing east at a speed of 16 knots. Moreover, the fleet has already begun to adjust its battle formation. The main force of the German High Seas Fleet was divided into four battlefleets, the first battleship squadron consisted of two battleship detachments, and the first battleship detachment commanded by Rear Admiral Schmidt, including the flagships "Bavaria" and "Baden". "Württemberg" and "Saxony", of which, "Bavaria" is also the flagship of the entire high seas fleet. The 2nd Battleship Detachment commanded by Rear Admiral Inglehardt, including the flagship 'King'. 'Elector', 'Governor of the Frontier' and 'Crown Prince'. The 2nd Battlefleet contained two battleship detachments, the 3rd Battleship Detachment led by Rear Admiral Maugf, including the flagship 'Helgoland'. 'Aostafrisland', 'Thuringia' and 'Oldenburg'. The 4th Battleship Detachment under the command of Rear Admiral Richterfils. Including the flagships 'Rhine', 'East Prussia', 'Byrne' and 'Saar'. The 3rd Battleship Fleet also consisted of two battleship detachments, the 5th Battleship Detachment under the command of Rear Admiral 'Norman', including the flagships 'Nassau', 'West**', 'Rhineland' and 'Posen'. The 6th Battleship Detachment, commanded by Rear Admiral Barnke, included the flagships "Hamburg", "Hesse", "Hanover" and "Bremen". The Fourth Battlefleet consisted of only five battleships, commanded by Rear Admiral Ruit, including the flagships 'Caesar', 'Frederick the Great', 'Catherine', 'King Albert' and 'Regent Louitpold'.

Reinhart. Admiral Scheer received a telegram from Vice Admiral Hipper, commanding the fleet to prepare for battle. The four battleships of the 'Bavaria-class' and the four battleships of the 'King-class' of the First Battlefleet formed a battle line and began to turn. It is expected that in half an hour there will be a meeting with Vice Admiral Hipper's fleet. When the time comes, they will be exactly at the T-junction and will teach the pursuing British Navy a hard lesson.

On board the battlecruiser 'De Fringel', Vice Admiral Hipper had already received a message from Reinhardt. A telegram from Admiral Schell said that the main forces of the German High Seas Fleet were ready for battle and were waiting for the British fleet to take the initiative to collide with it, and the head of the collision was bleeding. Vice Admiral Hipperl immediately ordered the fleet to begin turning and make sure that when David was behind. Vice Admiral Betty's fleet was able to run headlong into the battleline that the German Navy had already prepared.

"Pursuit! Speed up and intercept the Germans. These damned Germans, didn't he declare that the Germans were all brave? Why do they only know to run away now? "On the battlecruiser 'Princess Royal', Davy. Vice Admiral Betty swept away his previous downfall, shouting and shouting haughtily, as if he was no longer a defeated general, but a hero who would wipe out the German Navy in one fell swoop.

In Dave. To the west of the fleet led by Vice Admiral Betty, John Brown. The main force of the home fleet led by Admiral Jericho was also catching up at a speed of 18 knots. It's just that because of the previous Davy. Vice Admiral Betty's fleet was too fast, and the distance between them was getting further apart once again. However, John. Admiral Jericho was not worried. After all, according to the information they received, the main force of the German Navy's high seas fleet did not leave port. Vice Admiral Betty's battle cruiser detachment entangled the German battle cruiser detachment, and their main fleet was able to quickly arrive and send the German battle cruiser detachment to the bottom of the sea.

At 6 p.m., Vice Admiral Hipper's High Seas Fleet reconnaissance detachment and Reinhardt. The main forces of the High Seas Fleet, led by Admiral Scheer, met. Vice Admiral Hipper immediately ordered the fleet to turn to the northeast, bypassing the main forces of the oncoming High Seas Fleet. The main force of the High Seas Fleet also turned to the northwest, and an irregular T-shaped prefix was already stretched over the sea.

"General! Discover the battleships of the Germans, a large number of German battleships! A staff officer sweating profusely to David. Lieutenant General Betty reported.

"What's going on? How could there be a German battleship? "David. Lieutenant General Betty was also shocked. According to the information they received, the main force of the German Navy's high seas fleet was clearly staying in the military port! But when did these huge battleships appear?

"Damn! Turn, turn now! To John. General Jelliko sent a telegram that we had encountered the main forces of the German Navy's High Seas Fleet. The Admiralty gave us the wrong information! "David. Lieutenant General Betty roared in exasperation. He hurriedly ordered the fleet to turn to the northwest, trying to avoid it before ramming the main fleet of the German Navy.

However, Davy. Lieutenant General Betty's attempts were in vain. At this moment, David. Vice Admiral Betty was only 15,000 kilometers from the battle line of the First Battlefleet of the German High Seas Fleet. Moreover, the two sides are still moving in the opposite direction at high speed, and the distance is rapidly shortening. Even if the battle cruiser detachment of the British Navy began to turn now, it would be too late, because the battle cruiser at high speed would still turn one hundred and eighty degrees, and it would not be possible to do it in a few minutes. At the same time, the German Navy's First Battlefleet was also turning, and although they were a little slower, they were able to buy enough time for the fleet's salvo.

At 6:04 p.m., the 1st Battlefleet of the German Navy began a salvo. The targets of the four 'Bavaria-class' battleships and the four 'King-class' battleships were placed on the battlecruiser 'Royal Princess', which was at the forefront.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "As the earth-shattering cannon roared over the North Sea, a dense column of water rose from the right side of the 'Royal Princess'. The German Navy's 'Bavaria-class' battleships were armed with four twin 381-mm guns, while the 'King-class' battleships were equipped with four twin-mounted 343-mm guns, which could fire 64 shells in a single salvo, and any one of them could bring a catastrophic blow to the 'Royal Princess'. Luckily, the 'Royal Princess' was lucky enough to hit a salvo and not be hit.

Two minutes into command, the 1st Battlefleet of the German Navy began the second round of salvos. At this time, the good fortune of the Royal Princess seemed to run out. A 381-mm armor-piercing shell fired from the battleship 'Baden' and a one-ton shell hit the main gun of the 'Royal Princess' amidships. Under the action of huge kinetic energy, the armor-piercing bullet lightly tore through the protection of the turret, lifted the main turret directly, and also caused the chimney of the amidship to be hit, planted down, and smashed the superstructure of the battleship. At the same time, the speed of the 'Royal Princess' also began to plummet, which was undoubtedly fatal for the 'Royal Princess'. Having lost the speed command, it was almost impossible to escape from the guns of a ferocious battleship!
