Chapter 862: Where are you confident?

"The formation of the British is very scattered. There are currently 6 ships in sight. 4 of them should be the latest British battlecruisers. There are 2 more behind. It seems? There is another one in the distance?" Hepinghouse The major general was a little uncertain. But he can't try to get closer like Tirit to make sure, because the mad dog-like warships on the opposite side have a speed of more than 27 knots! The average speed is already higher than the speed of the first light cruiser squadron. If you don't run, maybe the two main fleets have not met, and you will be eaten by Betty!

"Grass! Betty, where did you get so much confidence! Hipper didn't teach enough last time?" After receiving the telegram from the investigating unit, Ruprecht complained. Obviously, Betty is already trying to squeeze the speed of the fleet. The British sailed almost at the top speed of the Lions and Tigers, about 28 knots, which obviously exceeded the speeds of the New Zealand and Australia behind, and even pushed the Warrior behind.

"If it can't be beaten, it will be useful to catch up! It's just to die." Even the prince felt worthless to the officers and soldiers on these British warships. They are unlucky. On the eve of the pick-up, Scheer and the staff finally calibrated the speed and heading of the two sides. At this time, the British battlecruiser formation was in the northeast of the team, with a speed of 28 knots and a straight-line distance of about 30 kilometers. At this distance, The watchmen of each ship could already see the black smoke rising from the sea. If the British fleet is to do it, it must be at least as close as 18 kilometers! In other words, there is still 12 kilometers to run!

The speed of the German fleet is now 24 knots, and the British are happy about 4 knots. If the German fleet turns immediately and the British pulls in a straight line, it will take about an hour and a half, eh. The fleet staff clearly stated the state of affairs on both sides on the drawing board.

"The fleet remains in the original formation. We sailed to the southeast. Reduce the speed by 1 knot." The prince thought for a while and ordered, heading southeast and then east. This route seemed to the British to be an escape route. At this time, the prince was not willing to squeeze the stamina of the stove too much, so he lowered his speed a little bit. In this way, if nothing unexpected happened, the first time the two sides met would erupt in 1 hour! By this time, the British fleet has been running at high speed for at least 2 hours. The prince estimated.

It is impossible to run at high speeds forever, even with fuel. Generally, there is a 6-hour test, a 3-hour test, and a 1-hour sprint speed test. The so-called maximum speed of warships is generally run out when it is not fully loaded. If there is no accident, the weight of warships during naval battles must be greater than during testing. After all, the so-called standard platoon is not full of ammunition. So even if you can reach the test speed, they will not last too long. You run for a long time before the battle. Because of the loss of personnel and machinery, the time that can be told in a while will be short. If it is not for the estimation of the large fleet , Ruprecht would rather let the British run for a while, running, and the British battlecruisers would have no speed advantage....

Raidel is a "little brother". And the prince who is the translator is more detailed! In fact, the speed of the Bavarian-class battleship was not slow, and now it’s no problem to run 26 knots. As long as the speed of the British bc can be reduced to 26 knots, whether it is because of the British’s own manpower and machinery problems or because of water or Battle damage, as long as the speed can be reduced below this standard, it will be stable!

Even if the British fleet can always run at high speeds, it doesn't matter. The fastest 4 battlecruisers will definitely be away from other warships. Then when the British fleet is really engaged, the British fleet becomes a refueling tactic! If the other party comes up a little bit, it is a gift, so, under the current circumstances, the prince is willing to talk to them again!

"The Germans seem to want to run! But their speed is not fast!" An officer said after receiving information from the avant-garde. This telegram also did not describe the number of the German fleet, but Betty, who was eager to fight, ignored this. After requesting that the telegram be forwarded to Lieutenant General Jeram and Major General Moore, he immediately ordered the fleet to intercept. The British fleet Then it turned half a compass point, and the course crossed towards the German fleet!

Half an hour later, the British once again discovered that the German fleet had adjusted its navigation again. This time, the Germans turned 4 compass points westward. In this case, the Germans' course changed from being far away from the British coast to being close to the British coast! The huge fleet has gone a huge zigzag in these forty minutes! And the British fleet was followed by a son! This erratic route makes the three-part Betty fleet even more scattered! And because of the angle of observation, the British discovered that there was a time delay after the German fleet changed its navigation, and this delay caused the original distance to be opened again!

"The Germans are like cunning antelopes, keeping their distance from the cheetahs by frequently turning directions. When we found them changing directions, ten minutes had passed, and ten minutes meant that we went out on the wrong course Kilometers!" Betty wrote in the logbook~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It’s almost time to fight! "At this time, after taking the British fleet to the south again, Ruprecht finally thought that the time for a decisive battle had arrived. The situation is now like this. Betty's 4 battlecruisers are 22 kilometers behind him! Warrior! , New Zealand and Australia are about 6 kilometers behind Betty. The location of the other receiving fleet is unknown, but according to the radio side, it should not be within a radius of at least 30 kilometers! That’s good, when the prince ordered the fleet to turn to the battle ready At that time, only Betty's 4 battlecruisers could fight the German fleet at the first time!

"Let's prepare to embrace victory!" The prince said confidently as he looked at the Betty fleet gradually clear in the distance! And before the official start of the war, the German fleet made one last change!

When the battleship Bavaria raised a series of signal flags, the battleship Saxony first began to turn, and then the Bavaria, Württemberg, and other brothers. The three battleships in the other row immediately followed up at the tail, and the seven battleships drew a huge U-shaped track on the sea.

At the same time, the light cruiser formation to the east entered directly in front of the fleet. The other two light cruiser formations formed two columns to follow the battleship. The third light cruiser formation was directly behind the main fleet, and the first light cruiser formation was on the side of the battle, ready to intercept any light cruisers that the British might send. And lightning ship! "We have done our best. Let God leave the rest." Scheer was also very satisfied with the formation of the battle.
