Chapter 2234: Thomas' inverse

The main force of the British Great Fleet suffered heavy losses in the previous match. 5 Super Dreadnoughts and 2 Dreadnoughts were sunk, accounting for one-third of the total number of battleships! The rest of the warships were all injured. At this point in the battle, it is actually on the verge of collapse. It can even be said that it is very rare for the large fleet to be able to ensure that the formation of the enemy is formed, although the main resistance of the large fleet is also in front of the German fleet. Just cause some trouble.

　　 But if you say that the entire fleet is really over, it’s still too early! Don’t forget that the most elite part of the British fleet is not in the Great Fleet! And when Ruprecht beat Jericho violently, Thomas also beat Hipper enough!

Let us turn the clock back to half an hour ago, that is to say, when the main force of the German High Seas Fleet and the naval aviation unit concentrated their forces on the British Grand Fleet, Thomas also launched an attack, and this attack was to some extent It is said to be very successful, it can be called the biggest highlight of the British fleet in this battle!

　　 "Your Excellency Commander, the Germans seem to be about to launch a general offensive. Their plane is about to arrive." An officer said to Thomas.

"Very well, now, it's time for us to do it! Order the destroyer squadron to immediately implement offensive smokescreen operations, turn left in the battle to 3 compass points, and rush to the Hipper fleet under the cover of the smokescreen at maximum speed! Major General Hood sent a report, let him keep up with us!" Thomas issued this command of the Royal Navy's most aggressive and extreme attack in the naval battle of World War I!

"General, then we will directly hit the T-head of the German fleet! It is now in the 20th century. It is no longer the period of the Battle of Lisa or the Battle of Trafalgar." An officer exclaimed, Thomas clearly. It is to quickly narrow the rhythm of close combat through a large angle steering! This is absolutely unconventional. In fact, since the Sino-Japanese War of Jiawu, once the battle lines between the two sides were opened, few fleets would choose this kind of cut-in tactics similar to the sailing war period! Because, as the range of artillery strikes increases, the fleet that adopts the cut-in tactics will be destroyed by the enemy's fire, just like the Japanese fleet against the Russian fleet in the historical battle of Tsushima!

　　Is Thomas crazy? Absolutely not! In the eyes of outsiders, Thomas was actually deliberate about the tactics of almost death. After fully studying the situation of the enemy and us, he came up with a seemingly risky, but it was the only opportunity for the British fleet!

　　 Thomas doesn’t know if he can succeed, but he knows that if the battle line is still in battle, the British fleet will undoubtedly lose!

　　 Thomas had to admit that Crown Prince Ruprecht on the opposite side is indeed the most NB admiral of this era! It can even be described as an exhaustive strategy. The Germans have insight into more than 80% of the plans of the British fleet! And made targeted deployment,

Thomas knew very well that the Hipper fleet on the opposite side could not have 8 battlecruisers. If the Germans had this family background, they could really eat the large fleet head-on, and would not let Count Spey kill from the Mediterranean. To the Norwegian Sea. According to his understanding of the German fleet, these warships can only be mixed with armored cruisers, and depending on the speed, it can only be the Mainz-class armored cruiser, this guy who made himself ashamed in the night battle in the Dover Strait!

　　 That's great, to put it bluntly, the Hipper fleet on the opposite side is actually 4 battlecruisers and 4 armored cruisers. If you set the battle line, you will definitely be suppressed by yourself and Major General Hood’s 11 warships, but it may take some time to completely eliminate it. After all, the camouflage used by the opponent for the first time is still very useful, Hipper The fleet does not need to last for too long, at most one hour, the main force of the high seas fleet can clean up the large fleet seven or eight eight. At that time, even if Thomas wiped out the Hipper fleet? The big fleet is almost taken care of, let Thomas and the 12 Bavaria just face up? What do you want?

Therefore, Thomas’s only breaking point is to quickly cause a massive attrition of the German fleet. The specific point is to kill or expel the Hipper fleet in a short time, let the latter temporarily leave the battlefield, and then fight with the 4 Revenge class ships of the First Battleship Squadron. The battleships attacked the High Seas Fleet together. Thomas keenly discovered that the four battleships led by the German High Seas Fleet were Helgoland-class battleships, which belonged to the weak ships of the High Seas Fleet. As long as they could repel the Hipper fleet, then In only 20 minutes, under the concentrated attack of Thomas Fleet, Hood Fleet and Vengeance Class, the Helgoland-class battleship is not that strong!

　　 Of course, you have to say whether there is any potential risk. There must be. For example, the other battleships of the Great Fleet could not support it. Then before Thomas launched an attack on the Helgoland-class battleship, the Bavarians transferred their guns! The situation is embarrassing~www.wuxiaspot.com~ So the only way now is to rush up quickly, using naval guns, using the carrier aircraft given by Betty, and using torpedoes from light cruisers and destroyers at the fastest speed. Crush the Hipper fleet! Anyway, there are only 4 battlecruisers in the Hipper fleet, even if it is hard to resist!

In order for the German fleet to take into account the efficiency of its bombardment, their speed will not be too fast, nor will they easily change their formations on a large scale. For the safety of the main fleet, Hipper must stand in front of Thomas. If the former chooses to evade, then for the British fleet Even better, directly attack the Helgoland-class battleship, more than a dozen battleships attacked 4 battleships at the same time, Thomas couldn't think of a reason for the opponent to support it! When the Hipper fleet and the German fourth battleship squadron were temporarily eliminated from the battle sequence, then the entire battlefield was also alive! As for the result later? That will be the future. After all, the 12 Bavarian-class battleships, the core of the German Navy, are fine, and the battleships that have been temporarily excluded from the battlefield are still capable of fighting. You can wait for repairs and return to the battlefield!

　　 "It's the British destroyer, they broke out of the battle!" On the flagship USS Cedric, a German officer reported to Admiral Hipper.

　　 "It's finally here." Hipper sighed involuntarily. The most critical moment of the entire battle has finally arrived. To say that facing the 11 capital ships of the Thomas Fleet, Hipper said that it is impossible to be afraid, but now, in a short time, Hipper can only rely on himself!
