"Order, the main fleet will speed up, the third destroyer formation will go to rescue the drowning, and after completion, the third destroyer formation can decide to stay at its own discretion!" At this time, Essen's heart was dripping blood, and the 4 main battleships that he regarded as treasures sank like this! Just now, he was glad that he had crossed the minefield at a relatively small cost, but he didn't expect that he was about to rush out of the minefield and encounter such an incident! At this time, Essen was not in the mood to consider whether it was a mine or a submarine, and the only thing he wanted to do now was to immediately enter the safe sea and search for German ships sailing in the Baltic Sea after dawn. The main German force is on the east side of Tallinn, and it should not be changed for a while!

Having sailed out of the minefield, the German fleet began to accelerate. The speed of more than 18 knots left the U9 without any ideas, but the first thing the U9 did after withdrawing from the position was to immediately inform the Russian main fleet of the entry into the Gulf of Finland. The incident also sparked some controversy after the war, with some arguing that it was the delay in Wendingen that caused the loss of the German temporary dock and several transport fleets in the Gotland Islands. They believed that in this case Major Wendingen should have informed Scheer at the first opportunity.

In this regard, Major Wendingen's explanation is this, when the Russian fleet was just discovered, the distance between the two sides was very far, and he could not determine whether the Russian fleet in the distance was a small detachment or a large fleet, so he naturally could not report it, and the other problem was that he was going to launch an attack, and at this time, the signal was likely to be locked sideways by the other party's radio, which would startle the snake. And when you get close to the target, you can confirm the identity of the other party and dive underwater. Naturally, he could not send a report, and after completing the attack, he wanted to report to the headquarters of the High Seas Fleet as soon as possible. Later, Wendingen's explanation was agreed by the Admiralty. They agreed that Wendingen's actions were not wrong, on the contrary, because he sank one of the opponent's capital ships, so he also made a great contribution.

"Oh God!" When the telegram from the U9 submarine was delivered to Scheer, the head of the High Seas Fleet shook his hand and almost threw the document to the ground! It's just horrible! Scheer thought he had seen through Essen, but he didn't expect it. In such a life-and-death situation, Essen would still play so actively and decisively! Rushing into the Gulf of Finland with the fleet with a mortal heart. At this time, the Russian fleet is like a mad bull, although it will die, but they will tear apart everything they can touch the other side!

"The fleet immediately set sail and pursued at full speed along the safe passage opened by the realization! The detachments no longer need to maintain formation. Burn the wind. The opponent only has 3 capital ships, and the strength is not as good as one of our detachments! After saying this, Scheer immediately pursued at full speed with four Bismarck-class battleships and his subordinate detachment. Because of their advanced technology and the fact that they have just been put into service, the maximum speed of the Bismarck-class battleships can reach about 24 knots! This is already quite not easy for a warship of more than 30,000 tons. In addition to the optimization of the ship type, the power is more powerful, and the propeller efficiency is high enough, there is another reason why this battleship can drive at such a high speed at this time, that is, there are not many things loaded! At Hipper's request, the two remaining fast battleships of the German Navy, the Moltke and Goeben, would follow suit. As for the 8 battleships in the back, let them chase slowly! Timing is everything!

"The banner of St. Andrew's will fall into my hands! Essen! Scheer roared inwardly. With the new signal raised on the flagship Bismarck, the main force of the entire German fleet was divided into two parts, and the faster one, under the cover of two light cruiser formations, sailed west according to the same path as the pre-opened one, and Schell knew very well that even if he was fast, he would not be able to get definite news from the Russian Navy before dawn. Only during the day, when the airship can move, can the position of the Russian fleet be determined relatively quickly. At the same time that Scheer led his troops to pursue the Russian fleet, the high seas fleet also quickly withdrew to the south by radio and other means to the German ships sailing in the Baltic Sea, but because of the lag of news and backward means of communication, many German ships did not receive this order, and when the Russian fleet suddenly killed in front of them, the result can be imagined!

Let's not take prisoners and kill everything we can get our hands on! The Germans ruined our country, and we have to make the Germans pay the price of blood before we die! In Essen's eyes, the Tsarist government, with all its faults and sins, was Russia's own government, while the Provisional Government, set up with the bayonets and support of the Germans, was a puppet of the Germans, a tool of the Germans to rule Russia!

The first fleet that the Russian fleet encountered was the fleet responsible for transporting supplies to the German army in the Tallinn area, a total of 5 ships of all sizes, covered by two destroyers, at the beginning the Germans did not find these monsters hidden in the night, only when the opposite side fired a shell, the flares enveloped the entire fleet, the Germans found out that something was wrong, at the beginning the two destroyers also tried to identify themselves through contact, because the German officers and soldiers on board really did not expect the Russian fleet to come here!

This fleet became the first casualty, and in less than ten minutes, the Russian fleet sent all its targets to the icy bottom of the sea with secondary guns. Subsequently, instead of rescuing the people who fell into the water, the Russian Navy moved on, searching for the next target! At dawn, the Russian fleet found one of the most valuable targets of the trip, and two troop carriers, escorted by a former dreadnought, rushed to Tallinn with 2 regiments of German Army 1st class corresponding weapons. In the face of this prey, Essen did not relent, under the attack of two super dreadnoughts, this German dreadnought was torn to pieces by fierce artillery fire, and then, the two transport ships and thousands of German officers and soldiers on it were wiped out by fierce fire, and the Russian fleet that hit this part was like an angry lion, no longer thinking about the consequences of doing so, only thinking about how to inflict more damage on the opponent!

On the morning of the next day, the Russian fleet finally arrived at the temporary German dock on the island of Gotland, where the Russian navy poured a deadly rain of bullets on the busy harbor, all kinds of ammunition and supplies piled up on the harbor and the people busy in the harbor were reduced to ashes in the fierce artillery fire, and at this time, when the operation of the Russian fleet was at its peak, a large cigar smoke flew from the northeast, this airship was undoubtedly German, and the telegraph on the airship was constantly magical, There is only one content in it, and that is to make the Russian fleet surrender!

"Prepare for the last battle! The main German fleet will soon find us! Essen said calmly, and then the entire Russian fleet sailed in the direction of the Gulf of Riga, which was the focus of the German attack, and it was supposed that it would be possible to run into some transport ships or old warships. Essen wanted to try his luck.
