April 3, 1916. The light warships of both sides reappeared as if they were going to work, 100 kilometers west of the island of Schulte, where the main battlefield of the light warships of both sides had been the most recent moment, and after Scheer was pinned down by the Russians, the British were bolder than before, and almost set up a battlefield on the doorstep of the Germans. And Scheer was fighting with Essen at this time, so the actions of the British can be described as fearless. Naturally, the German Navy would not turn a blind eye, and a large number of German destroyers relied on mine arrays to fight with the British destroyers, although they were not fierce, but they fought almost every day, and there were always a few unlucky ghosts who were sunk every day.

Today, however, the situation has changed somewhat, and under the deterrence of two British armored cruisers, the German destroyers have been completely intimidated, and they only dare to cruise around from a distance. These two old armored cruisers, armed with 9.2-inch guns, had the feeling of being the king of the mountains without tigers and monkeys, and they flaunted their might on the doorstep of the Germans. After a while, an airship like a huge cigar appeared in the sky, as if walking in its own garden, very leisurely sailing into the distance. The Germans were inferior at sea, but in the air these huge guys were not afraid of anything except anti-aircraft artillery. At this time, it seems that the battleship did not think about how to defend the aircraft.

Things have developed to this point, almost according to the daily script, with British and German auxiliary warships making trouble with each other, and German airships conducting reconnaissance. But soon, the script changes, and the intrusion of a new guy makes Yiqiē a little confused, and several biplanes suddenly swoop down from the sky, and then spew out tongues of fire. Puff puff. One of the airship's air pockets was punctured, and a large amount of hydrogen began to spill out. OBVIOUSLY, THIS TIME THE BRITISH WERE NOT USING ORDINARY 7.7MM MACHINE GUNS. Rather, it is a powerful rapid-fire weapon that can penetrate the shell of a hard airship very lightly and destroy the airbags inside.

A few planes were as small as flies in the face of a huge airship, but it was these little ones who had put the behemoth in a desperate situation. The Germans never thought that they would be intercepted by planes at sea, so naturally they didn't bring weapons, and with the space of the airship pod, even if you put two machine guns, you can't hit it! There must be a demon when something goes wrong, although I know that I may not be able to run away. However, the German officers and men on the airship still controlled the airship while trying to search the sea. At this moment, through the dense sea fog, a thick smoke was heading towards the battlefield. Under the cover of sea fog and smoke, huge ships loomed, but the scale did not look like the main force of the British High Seas Fleet, because the fleet below was still smaller.

Before the entire airship was smashed into a ball of fireball by the plane's tracer bullets. This vital telegram was finally sent. And a quarter of an hour later it was on Hipper's desk. The titan of the High Seas Fleet looked at the telegram carefully and fell into deep thought. "Is this an opportunity or a trap?" When his reconnaissance advantage was offset by the opponent's aircraft, Hipper was a little uncertain, after all, no matter the previous battle, the German Navy could determine the whereabouts of the opponent, and this time, it was obvious that the opponent was on guard, and he could not penetrate through the fog of war.

The fact that the opponent's plane can get here means that the opponent has an aircraft carrier. In this case, sending an airship over will undoubtedly send you to death, but you can try to fly by detour. But under the shield of the aircraft, there is always a sea area that you can't see. Where is the main British fleet? Will it suddenly appear on the battlefield? This is a problem that must be addressed. So, Hipper decided to wait and see.

To say that the German Navy was defenseless against the British using aircraft carriers to drive airships is absolutely wrong, who are Schell and Hipper? They are aware of their strengths and weaknesses. So Hipper didn't put all the treasure on the airship, the cordon built by the submarine is another reliance on Hipper, although it is impossible to monitor the British fleet, but the other party can still figure it out whether the other party is coming or not!

The wait was a long process, and 2 hours after the airship was turned into a fireball, the submarine forces in charge of perimeter vigilance and reconnaissance finally sent a telegram, saying that they had found no trace of the British Grand Fleet, that is, even if the German Navy was defeated, before retreating to the protection of the minefield, the British Grand Fleet would definitely not appear in the field of vision of the Germans, in other words, if the Germans did not chase and fight, they would not have run into the British Grand Fleet at all, and the only main force of the British in this sea area was the fleet in front of them, There will be no other power. And after hearing the news, Hipper couldn't help but get excited, as if the opportunity to recreate the glory of the Battle of Doger Sandbank was just around the corner!

Hipper's fleet was always on standby, and when it was determined that the British Grand Fleet would not arrive, with Hipper's order, the eight capital ships under his command and their frigates rushed to the battlefield at full speed, and a major battle was about to break out. At this time, the fleets of both sides were moving opposite each other. Thomas didn't know Hipper's actions, but this qiē didn't matter, in his opinion, as long as he was sure that Scheer would not come to the rescue, then he would run for nothing at most, and if he bitten, Thomas thought he had at least a seventy percent chance of winning!

Without the continuous reconnaissance of the airship, the reconnaissance efficiency of the Germans was greatly reduced, although the downed airship sent a telegram at the last moment, but the telegram did not say how many warships the British had. The submarine pulled out the cordon, but this cordon was full of loopholes, and whales such as the British Grand Fleet could be found, but not the two Queen-class battleships and auxiliary warships that followed behind Thomas's fleet. One of the important reasons is that the size of this fleet is too small, but only 2 battleships and 6 destroyers, in order to prevent being attacked by submarines, these 6 destroyers do not carry torpedoes but anti-submarine equipment.

If this battle is compared to a big drama, then now that the British have appeared, the rest depends on whether the Germans dare to come!

"It's coming!" Hipper didn't let Thomas wait too long, and soon, Hipper's vanguard, 4 destroyers led by light cruisers, appeared in Thomas's telescope field of vision, and they looked at this small fleet from a distance, and the 3 towering Queen Elizabeth-class battleships were so conspicuous. They were a symbol of British sea power and the most formidable enemy of the German High Seas Fleet. Later, the two new Amsterdam-class fast battleships, which were supposed to be Dutch, lost the first capital ship of the German Navy because of their survival, and then the Tiger, the only remaining of the four British Fisher-type super-dreadnought battle cruises. As for the latter two? In the eyes of the Germans, it is a soy sauce-level storage zài, a guy who can be killed in a little time! "In that case, let's get started!" Hipper said after making sure there were no other ships.
