Chapter 2241: Head-to-head four
Before participating in the war, the British had a total of 32 capital ships. In the battle, they had sunk 5 first-generation super dreadnoughts and 2 dreadnoughts and 1 Vengeance-class battleship! In other words, there are only 24 warships left in the entire British fleet! And not all of these 24 warships can be put into battle now! Because the situation of the remaining surviving warships in the large fleet is also very bad!
You know, at the beginning, the Bavarians dealt with the British’s first-generation super-fearless. The 10 first-generation super-fearless fights are now gone, and the remaining half can survive until now, except that they are lucky. Because they are skilled enough in filling the ammunition depot... Once the turret or gun mount was penetrated by the British, who had been ridden by previous battles, they would definitely abandon the ammunition in the ammunition depot without hesitation. Without the problem of ammunition and blasting, it would be more difficult to penetrate by shells alone. For example, the battlecruiser Tiger in history had more than a dozen shells in the house. Wouldn't it be alive?
However, being able to hold on does not mean how much combat power is left! In fact, the other five British Super Fearless have no combat effectiveness! Even the last 5 main guns that can be used on Super Fearless are only 25! Not even 70% firepower! As for the remaining five dreadnoughts, their situation is better. After all, at the beginning, they played more and less, and faced the weakest warship in the German fleet. But after all, they are just fearless... And the position is still far behind, it takes time to catch up!
And look at the fleet that Jericho and Thomas can put into the front line? The 6 Queens and the Fury are the absolute main force, but the Duke of York was beaten a little by the Mochi. Among the three Vengeance-class battleships, the Vengeance, which was taken care of by the bombers, did not actually have much firepower, and could only be regarded as staying in the battle line to share the pressure of the opponent. As for the Tiger and the other three first-generation battlecruisers? Well, don't expect them to cause much damage to the Bavarians, and they are the kind that the other party can accidentally drop in seconds.... But the number is one less than the Germans.... So, this TM is embarrassing!
"General, if the follow-up fleet cannot arrive within half an hour, or if the German moves faster than us, we have no chance of winning." Lieutenant General Bernie walked up to Jericho and said in a low voice. To be honest, this battle almost refreshed Lieutenant General Bernie’s understanding of naval warfare. If someone tells him that the navy is a type of service that can lose a war in a day, then he will definitely spit. On the other side's face!
"Nonsense! The Navy is an arm that can determine the destiny of a country within 4 hours!" Lieutenant General Bernie really didn't expect his fleet to die under the attack of the Germans before the war! How long has it been playing? Only two hours!
"What do you mean?" Jericho walked to a corner silently, and Lieutenant General Bernie followed closely, and then Jericho said to Lieutenant General Bernie with a complex expression.
"I can feel that the big fleet is dying.... Our hope of victory has become very slim. Even if we can rely on the force of the fleet to block the German attack, then when the German carrier aircraft is ready again When it's good, how do we be? Betty has few planes left." Lieutenant General Bernie took a deep breath and said, "And the Spey fleet is on its way here!"
"Then let Betty go first, release the remaining planes, save some for their own air defense, and then evacuate the battlefield. Don't go south, go directly east, so that you can quickly get out of the combat range of German bombers, and Spey The fleet goal is us and will not intercept the Betty fleet." Jericho took a deep breath and finally made up his mind. The first retreat order in this war was given.
The core force of an aircraft carrier is the above carrier aircraft, and if the carrier aircraft is exhausted, what use is there to stay on the battlefield? Therefore, instead of this, it is better to let them evacuate first...
"What about the other fleets?" Lieutenant General Bernie asked.
"The queens are our last hole cards. Even if we lose this war, they are still our last support after the war. The rest depends on the situation." Jericho said.
"What about the revenge class?" Lieutenant General Bernie asked.
"It is best if you can run away," Jericho said. Jericho’s words have made it clear that the Queen-class battleship must be kept as long as possible, while other battleships can be sacrificed when necessary! Unfortunately, Ruprecht thinks so too...
"Watch them! Make sure that every queen has at least one Bavarian-class battleship in charge! The first generation of the British fearless can be temporarily put aside." Looking at the British fleet in the distance, Ruprecht ordered!
The battle lines of the two sides have been re-adjusted. The two almost parallel battle lines continue to move to the southwestern defense line. On these two battle lines, the German fleet has a huge advantage. In the distance, the Great Fleet and other ships of the High Seas Fleet that temporarily withdrew from the battle line began to recover ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and were regrouped. Of course, they could not return to the battlefield for the time being! The elite fleets of Germany and Britain finally collide together!
Before the battle between the most elite fleets of the two sides, Jericho and others had realized that their current fleet was not enough to resist the German fleet, so they placed their hopes on the subsequent fleet that could quickly keep up. Therefore, the British need to delay time, so they want to make the distance a little bit longer. After all, even the Vengeance-class battleship can be killed in seconds, so the queen is even more so! (The British did not know that it was bombed in the water.) However, the Germans are not stupid. The Bavarian-class armor protection is stronger than the Queen, so they can withstand closer blows! The British fleet is dragged down by the Revenge class, so their speed is slower than the German fleet! At this time, the light cruisers and destroyers in the hands of the High Seas Fleet also launched an attack!
At this moment, the main force of the High Seas Fleet is fully fired again! The destroyer responsible for releasing the offensive smoke took the lead, followed by a large number of large destroyers. The light cruisers spread out on both sides, avoiding the barrier of smoke to attack the British auxiliary warships. Behind the front line composed of large destroyers and light cruisers are a large number of medium-sized destroyers and ocean-going torpedo boats. More than 30 various auxiliary battleships formed a quite echelon attack formation. Behind these destroyers, 15 battleships of the High Seas Fleet are constantly adjusting their routes and quickly approaching the British fleet! Accompanied by the roar of artillery like thunder, the fleets of both sides are fighting together again!
