The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 1115: Sword Walk Slant Two

Chapter 1115

The remaining two light cruisers successfully evacuated with scars. The following 12 destroyers were divided into two teams to release torpedoes on German warships almost at the maximum range. This attack was not to kill the opponent, but to interfere with the opponent's actions. More than 30 torpedoes were galloping across the sea, and the white traces were like sharks that made people feel uncomfortable. For this reason, the two German battleship detachments headed by them chose to delay their steering and waited for the torpedo to shoot into the air.

However, the German light cruisers and destroyers did not intend to spare the British in this way. Like the light cavalry on the battlefield, they lost to the avant-garde 4 light cruisers and 8 destroyers to attack the British destroyer squadron that came up. Hit 1500 meters from the kilometer distance! Even closer! Both can see each other's expressions through the telescope. The destroyers galloped on the sea at a speed of 25 knots or more, and countless 150MM, 105MM, and 88MM artillery shells formed a barrage to boil the sea! Without the presence of its own light cruiser, this was simply a one-sided slaughter. Arbitration and Sea Urchin were the first two destroyers to be destroyed. One of them was directly killed by two 175MM high-explosive bombs, and the other crashed into it. On a torpedo, it was blown to pieces!

In this fierce but not long-lasting auxiliary battleship battle, 12 British destroyers were sunk 4 on the spot, the other two were paralyzed on the sea, and a German destroyer hit a torpedo and was blown up. Got to be crushed. And before Major General Beinck, who commanded the Second Battleship Squadron, could not catch his breath, the second wave of lightning strikes from the British came again!

The strength of the large fleet lies not only in the large number of main fleets. The larger number of light cruisers and destroyers is also one of the important reasons for the large fleet to dominate the world. It has covered the retreat of the Vengeance-class battleships to the British second and the safe distance. The Fourth Light Cruiser Squadron returned with a large number of destroyers!

The Second Light Cruiser Squadron brought a group of destroyers to the German Second Battleship Squadron, and the Fourth Light Cruiser Squadron brought a group of destroyers to the First Battleship Squadron where the Prince’s flagship was located! At this time, the three British battleship squadrons that had completed their turn also began to aim their muzzles at the distant German fleet. At this time, the two sides were 19 kilometers apart, which was still farther apart. The Germans did not dare to approach because they had to deal with the lightning strikes of the British destroyers. When the British had only 3 battleship detachments into battle, they naturally did not dare to really stick to the German fleet! The two sides cast a rat avoidance device between each other. Although the main artillery fire has come into contact, the threat is limited.

"Pull a little further away." Feel the slight vibration of the ship's hull when the gun salvo fires, watching the rising water column on the sea level in the distance and the shining fire light at the junction of water and sky. The prince said after a sip of coffee calmly.

"You don't seem to be in a war in your current state." Scheer said with embarrassment.

"Can't you see the current situation? We can take a small advantage, but no one can do anything to each other. We can run away at any time, but if we want to bite the British, it really doesn't have such good teeth. Ah." The prince didn't mind the offense in Lieutenant General Sher's words.

"I said that I will definitely let the German High Seas Fleet have a certain advantage in the situation. I did it. But even if the situation is great, we still can't do anything to the big fleet because their fault tolerance rate is too high! There are enough light cruisers and destroyers to push us out of the effective range of the naval guns, and then wait for the main fleet to adjust the formation. You know, the battle can actually be retreated now, and it doesn’t make much sense for us to fight again. Up."

What is the current situation between the High Seas Fleet and the Great Fleet? It's a bit like the orcs in war3 where the undead hit two mines. There are already two mines, and the orcs with a good economy have enough money to exchange soldiers with you. It doesn't matter if I lose a game once in a while, I went back for two months, and they came out alive again. In this case, you will either continue to consume your opponent, or find the right opportunity to kill the opponent directly in a wave of 70 people! There is no other way.

In the battle between the two fast fleets, the prince can catch you, and how many he can tear off a piece of meat! But what about the big fleet? How can you catch it? Do you bite? Of course, if you pull up 3 slow-speed dreadnoughts and 6 quasi-dreadnoughts, there is indeed a chance, but this will drag down the speed of the fleet and the risk is too great. This is like unless it is a big battle, the undead rarely drags. The wood-picking ghouls are like, if you are not sure, the prince would rather use the fleet's high speed to fight more conservatively!

Under what circumstances will the prince really bite with the large fleet? Either he has a better grasp of it and drags his family to speak up, or in the case of an incomplete large fleet, such as losing the strength of a battleship squadron, don’t look at it. Only these 4 ships are missing, but the situation is completely different. Don’t think about the former for the time being. The so-called need to consider the overall situation, look at the British main fleet and then look at the planes flying on top of your head. In all respects, the British dominate. Point? This has to work slowly, it depends on the situation!

Fortunately, the German fleet is still very strong~lightnovelpub.net~ In the previous round of engagement, two more British light cruisers were killed, and today the British lost 12 destroyers, no more, no less Just a dozen. At this time, the British finally leveled the battle line. At this time, the two fleets sailed to the southeast almost in parallel.

"Release the smoke, let's go!" The prince said after looking at the British fleet, which was 21 kilometers away, which had become a straight line. Everyone has started the battle line, do you still want to get cheap from the big fleet? What do you think? Unless someone as reckless as Major General Hood in history comes out and runs directly within range to attract firepower, it is really difficult to sink the opponent. And the Hood of this plane? It seems to be much smarter than in history. At least now, the prince suddenly discovered that there was no Major General Hood’s battlecruiser on the entire battleline...

Seeing that the German fleet, which had nothing to take advantage of, began to accelerate its withdrawal from the battlefield, the speed of the entire fleet quickly increased to more than 24 knots, which was a speed that the British could not catch up. The German fleet gradually surpassed the British fleet and sailed all the way to the south, and subconsciously came to distance. The current situation is that the two sides can observe the smoke emitted by the other side, but they cannot be included in the effective range.
