"Oh God! Can anyone tell me what's going on? A staff officer said, looking at the two German light cruisers that were being besieged.

"We're in big trouble." Hipper's pale-blue face indicated his current state of mind. "Major General Baker actually didn't mention the British battle patrols in the telegram?" A staff member next to him was full of complaints. Hipper's fleet crashed headlong under the guns of the British, and this was definitely a tactical mistake, and since it was a mistake, then someone had to take responsibility. Obviously, Rear Admiral Baker, as the avant-garde fleet, failed to inform himself of such important information, which was obviously a dereliction of duty!

And this time, it was really wronged Rear Admiral Baker, not that Rear Admiral Baker didn't want to report, but because in last night's engagement, the radio transmitters of the two light cruisers were destroyed, and although the two Rune-class ships wanted to send a report, in today's engagement, one of them broke down, and the other could not be used because of the vibration, so this vital telegram was not sent out!

"Let's go." Looking at the pillar of smoke in the distance, Hipper said categorically. Although it is not very clear, Hipper can feel that the other party's fleet must be much larger than his own, and he may be followed by the British Grand Fleet, if Hipper dares to stay, even if it is only for a few minutes, maybe there will be warships damaged and damaged. And the result of the slowdown is death! Under the influence of the morning fog, the distance between the two sides when they found each other was only about 16KM, which was close to the range of naval guns. If you don't leave, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave.

"His Majesty the Kaiser asks us to achieve a victory in the shortest possible time, not as we have ever done. Sinking a few light cruisers is such an inconsequential matter, we need to sink the opponent's capital ship to show our strength, and that's it. Italians will stand firmly on our side. Today is an opportunity, and you give the order to retreat. Hipper's ship, Captain Meyer, the captain of the Seydlitz, whispered. This is a critical moment, and if it is not grasped properly, it will have a great impact on the entire battle situation and the future of Hipper!

"The strength of the other side is much stronger than ours, and fighting in this situation is tantamount to killing ourselves." Hipper only thought about it for a dozen seconds before rejecting his subordinates' proposals. Judging by the current situation. Together with the British light cruiser formation, which had been almost completely wiped out last night, the British had committed at least three light cruiser formations in this sea area. According to common sense, it is already very good for a main army detachment to be equipped with a light patrol. The Germans were a squadron of mounted cruisers and a formation of capital ships with a squadron of light cruisers. Although the British are tyrants, it is absolutely impossible to equip a detachment of the main army with as many as 12 light cruisers! So Hipper concluded that the strength of the other party was definitely not weak.

Hippert is belligerent, but definitely not stupid, in Xu Jie's plane. Battle of the Dogle Sandbank. Hipper's three battlecruisers and one armored cruiser ran into Betty's five battlecruisers and turned and ran, leaving the Blucher behind for defense and speed. The situation was worse now than it was then, and Hipper already felt that the other side had at least 2 capital ship detachments, and the light cruisers were more than 4 times his own. If you leave late, you really won't be able to leave!

So, despite the advice of his subordinates, Hipper resolutely ordered the fleet to immediately turn to. But God seemed to be unable to get along with the Germans today, and just as the Hipper's fleet was turning, the British finally saw this uninvited guest clearly. At this time, a sea breeze blew, and the mist that filled the sea surface finally disappeared under the action of the sun and sea breeze. In the sun, Hipper's fleet was exposed to the guns of the British!

There is a saying, how do you say it? Happiness came too suddenly, at this time Betty seemed to have been hit by an oversized pizza, so that he felt a little in a trance for a while, the Germans actually "generously" sent a fast fleet after giving him two armored cruisers? That's 4 fast warships! There are only 2 in the UK! All the fast warships of the German Navy are here!

"Tell everyone that Great Britain wants every man to do his due diligence in this battle!" So, Betty shouted a sentence that was quite similar to Nelson's back then! And this passage was quickly transmitted to the other warships through the flag! The British, whose morale had just skyrocketed because of a victory, exploded! The British fleet automatically launched a big move to chase and attack! Eight British battlecruisers rushed towards the Hippert fleet like drugs, and when they were still 15KM away from the target, the Lion and the Tiger were already unbearable! With the signal light of the artillery ready, the first salvo began!

This time, the British, with even greater zeal, came to inflict a brutal onlooker on the German fleet! 8 battlecruisers rushed quickly at a speed of up to 22 knots, the relative speed and navigation of the two sides were constantly changing, the Germans had just completed the turn, the speed had not yet been added, the British were in the successful KO of the two ships after the cruise, directly accelerated, the distance between the two sides quickly narrowed, the acceleration of the battleship is not a sports car, the speed is up. The Germans threw off their opponents, but they were very miserable, for the simple reason that the speed was slower than others, even if everyone was racing fast, the speed of the two German versions of the Longtai-class battleships Blucher and the von der Tannen was almost the lowest among all the participating ships!

Look at the dense columns of water around the side of the ship and the incessant sound of explosions. The German officers and soldiers who participated in the duel of capital ships for the first time realized that this was a real war, not a model and table in a war game! Cannonballs hit people to death! No, a shell from the Lion crossed the two battleships behind it, and plunged directly into the side of the Moltke, accompanied by a bright yellow flame, this shell penetrated through the upper deck, and then the huge explosion directly turned several cabins into a sea of fire, and more than a dozen German officers and soldiers who could not dodge were directly cremated, and not even a complete corpse was left.

"The destroyer formation releases smoke and prepares to launch a lightning strike!" At this time, Hipper was also very anxious to see the British fleet getting closer and closer, and several warships tried to fire back, but because of the wind direction, a large amount of smoke and gunpowder smoke came to the face, which greatly reduced the observation conditions. To do this, he had to assist the battleships to buy time for himself, and several torpedo boats broke off from the formation and rushed towards the British fleet like a pack of hungry wolves, while the other battleships began to release smoke to cover the fleet's withdrawal!

Soon, this detachment of destroyers, together with the British, interpreted the connotation of two idioms, one called self-destruction, and the other heroic and fearless (is this an idiom——! ）。 The 4 destroyers rowed the S-shaped track quickly on the sea, trying their best to avoid the opponent's secondary guns, they trudged hard in the rain of bullets, striving to send themselves to a distance of 3KM, but the British did not give them a chance at all, and they didn't even need light battleships to help, Betty was afraid that the light battleships would block the route and hinder the pursuit! The 6-inch and 12-pounder guns on the Lion and Tiger enveloped the German destroyers like an impermeable fishing net.

Soon, a series of explosions came from the sea. Shrapnel exploded in the air, and shrapnel the size of half a fist rained down on the German destroyer, which was undoubtedly fatal for a destroyer with almost no armor protection, and when a destroyer was covered by a rain of bullets that came from a fan, the personnel on the bridge were already sentenced to death. The shrapnel penetrated the bridge without hindrance, and then beat everyone inside to a blur of flesh. And after the high-explosive shell hits, it can directly gnaw off a large piece of the superstructure, or make a large hole in the side chord. With just one hit, there is a risk that the destroyer will lose power. In the end, the German destroyers were directly torn to pieces by the dense rain of bullets, so that not a single battleship fired a torpedo at the very end!

"They were all in the direction of the British fleet when they finally sank, there were no deserters among them, they did not flinch in the face of the threat of death, they were not discouraged, and their courage deserved the respect and praise of anyone. Even if we are enemies! "Afterwards, a British officer expressed great appreciation for the courage of the German torpedo boat formation.

But at this time, the vast majority of British officers and soldiers did not have time to show respect for their opponents, and after casually cleaning up these miscellaneous fish, the British suddenly found that the target in front of them was blocked by a thick smoke screen, and they could not see anything clearly, and even the slender hull of the German battleship was looming in the smoke, not to mention the continued attack power, and even the opponent's trajectory could not be determined. The pursuit can't be pursued.

"Damn Hipper, like a cunning squid, broke a wrist to stall for time, and then spewed out a huge cloud of ink to interfere with our tracking!" At this time, Betty didn't know how to think about the squid, anyway, no matter what happened, the British momentum was like an iron fist hitting the cotton in an instant, and she couldn't find the focus point! This annoyed Lieutenant General Betty!

"Hipper should have continued to run away." Betty looked at the smoke in the distance and said, it is naturally not good to rush over, maybe there are a few destroyers hidden under the cover of the smoke or something. If you get closer, you can get yourself a torpedo, but it's sad. Therefore, Betty ordered the fleet to turn half to the left, let go a little, and then continue the pursuit in the same direction. At the same time, the light cruiser fleet was ordered to open the search formation and expand the search area.

And what is Hippert doing at this time? Did you really continue to run away as Betty wanted? Or is there some other scheme? Under the shroud of smoke, the whole battle situation suddenly became a little confusing.
