Scheer really planned to leave, and as soon as he discovered Betty's fleet, Scheer ordered the auxiliary warships to release smoke to cover the main fleet turn. Moreover, it was an all-out evacuation, and instead of maintaining a single line of battle in a state of engagement, it was re-transformed into a four-column detachment, and the evacuation was carried out in a box formation on the move, and the German main fleet had a speed advantage over the British battleships, and the large fleet, which had been beaten again, had no spare strength to continue to attack the German fleet behind the smoke curtain for the time being. Now Scheer has no choice, facing the faster Betty fleet, Scheer can only force his way through Betty's block before Jericho catches up.

In the face of the Scheer fleet that is ready to slip away, both Jericho and Betty think that the opportunity has come, but there are still some differences in the ideas of the two sides, Jericho means to let Betty avoid the spearhead of the high seas fleet first, and then rely on speed to follow the enemy ships to attack the warships behind, stop one and destroy one, so that although most of the warships will be let go, but they avoid the desperate blow of the Germans, there is a saying in China that the poor will be chased, and the West also has a similar meaning, called not to block the fleet that goes home, in this case, The combat power that erupts from any bloody fleet is absolutely amazing! It's not good to push it too hard.

But I don't know if it's because Betty has just beaten Hippel and she's full of confidence, or because Betty has bigger ambitions than Jericho and wants to do it all in one battle. Or, in order to justify Thomas's decision not to continue attacking the Italian fleet during the Battle of Malta, Betty refused Jericho's order on the grounds that there was not enough time and rushed towards the High Seas Fleet. It was decided to make a huge T-shaped crossbow in front of the capital ship of the High Seas Fleet and directly block the way of the other party!

"It's just a way to live!" Looking at Betty's fleet, which was determined to stop him, the roots of Sher's angry teeth itched. However, at this time, Scheer still did not decide to fight to the death with Betty. The Jericho fleet behind did not know when it would follow. If it was really brought into range by two British fleets at the same time, the High Seas Fleet would be really dangerous, so Scheer's order was very simple, that is, all the warships with a shooting range would force a gap regardless of whether they could hit the British or not. So in the face of Betty's upcoming battle line, Scheer did not prepare for the battle with all his might, but thought about fleeing to the northwest and west.

I have to say. Betty was still somewhat level, and in the face of the High Seas Fleet withdrawing to the southeast, she turned to the left to reach the opponent as close as possible. And if you withdraw in the opposite direction, you will inevitably go from the northwest, so that the principle of the German mainland will be solved, even if this interception fails. Betty still has a chance to intercept again. If it turns to the right, the opponent can continue to retreat to the southeast and leave the battlefield from the tail of the T-shaped cross, while the British fleet will have to make a large bend of nearly 280 degrees if it wants to continue the pursuit. It will delay more time.

Betty, known for his bravery and aggressiveness, chose to engage the High Seas Fleet with bayonets, forcing the Germans to either flee to the northwest or fight for their lives. You can go if you want, but only if you can get through! Facing the main force of the German High Seas Fleet surrounded by numerous escort warships. Vice Admiral Betty resolutely ordered the fleet to turn, and the nine capital ships drew a huge U-shape on the sea. A long line of battle was opened one after another, and dozens of heavy guns aimed at the rushing high seas fleet, waiting for the other side to throw themselves into the net.

"You forced me!" Looking at Betty, who had already shown her sword, and looking at Jericho who was chasing after her, Scheer said hatefully. In this battle, the other party put a sword on his throat, don't want to leave if you don't fight! As for continuing to evacuate this road to the northwest, Scheer didn't even think about it, evacuated to the northwest, and when Jericho and Betty converged, the other party could intercept him on his way south, and the possibility of being able to go at that time was even lower, relatively speaking, it was best to withdraw before the British fleet returned to converge!

At the last moment before the two sides fought, Scheer finally decided to defeat the enemy in front of him first! However, unlike just now, this time it was the 4 King-class battleships directly under Scheer who took the lead! The four Caesar-class battleships of the 1st Battleship Detachment of Yan Zòng were left behind. When Betty pulled out of the battle line and waited for the Germans to throw themselves into the net, Schell, who had 16 battleships, also decided to fight to the death at this moment, and the Betty fleet was even more powerful after being reborn from the ashes, proving Thomas's cowardice with his own actions, or the high seas fleet that had a numerical advantage but was also scarred was stronger, and directly penetrated Betty's interception, and the results will soon be revealed! The battle line of two huge fleets is rapidly approaching, and the battle between the two sides is about to break out!

"Nima, this firepower is not proportional!" Almost simultaneously, the fleets of both sides fired the first salvo! Looking at the tongues of fire erupted by the German fleet in the distance and the sparse shells on her side, Betty chuckled in her heart. It was only then that he fully realized how big the gap between the two sides was, and realized the choice Thomas had made in the face of the tired Italian fleet.

ALTHOUGH THE GERMANS HAVE BEEN FIGHTING FOR 2 HOURS, AND ALTHOUGH SOME OF THE GERMAN BATTLESHIPS HAVE BEEN HEAVILY DAMAGED, THEY CAN STILL SAVE AT LEAST 60 ABOUT 60 350MM HEAVY GUNS. There are also more than 70 12-inch guns, although the latter can't beat the British battleships, but it is still possible to hit those thin-skinned battle cruisers behind Betty! And Betty only had 14 15-inch guns at this time, 20-inch 14-inch guns, and 24 12-inch guns! How does this fight look hopeless, Betty knew that Jericho was in trouble, but she didn't expect the British Grand Fleet to fight for 2 hours, and the other party still had such fierce firepower! "What the hell is Jericho doing? Has the light been beaten for a few hours? Betty cursed grimacingly.

Betty was not entirely wrong in saying this, except for the use of lightning strikes and smoke under the cover of Jericho taking time to hit a brick on Scher, the rest of the British Grand Fleet was indeed pressed and beaten. But it would be a mistake to say that nothing was done. YOU MUST KNOW THAT AT THE BEGINNING, SCHEER HAD 88 350MM HEAVY GUNS AND 96 12-INCH GUNS, AND JERICHO HAD ALREADY WEAKENED THE OPPONENT'S FIREPOWER BY NEARLY A THIRD, AND OF COURSE, THE COST TO THE BRITISH FLEET WAS EVEN GREATER! But it's such a high seas fleet, and it's definitely not something Betty can stop!

The avant-garde fleet should be like the avant-garde fleet, don't always think about doing the main fleet, Xu Jie, who heard about it afterwards, said with a smile. You must know that in history, even in the face of the British Grand Fleet in 1916, when the German fleet launched a death charge, it sank a British war patrol that blocked the way, and Rear Admiral Hood and thousands of British Royal Navy officers and men were swallowed by the waves of the North Sea. And now, Betty, who does not have the support of the big fleet, wants to stop Scheer, and this result will definitely be sad, quite sad!
