Chapter 890: Hunting

To ask the British if there is a better way, of course there is, that is, all auxiliary cruisers flee towards the Norwegian Sea. The German fleet cannot be permanently stationed, so as long as they can temporarily avoid it, and then increase the difficulty of the German fleet search. , But unfortunately, most British people do not have such a choice! After all, it's not far from the door of the house, and it's victory to go back! The temptation to go home is too great!

The radio lateral and positioning equipment on the battleship Mochi has locked on the two largest signal sources, and the fundamental reason for the delay in working with them is that they have to determine the direction of the next phase of the British fleet. And now, the British finally moved, and with the spread of radio signals over the North Sea, the British fleet scattered in the blockade area finally began to move. They communicate and transmit information to each other by radio. However, all of this was ultimately reflected on the drawing board in the command tower of the German battleship.

Every half an hour, the German fleet will exchange information with each other through radio communication. Now, according to the trajectory of the British auxiliary cruiser squadrons that have been discovered but have not been hunted, they have begun to set up information. The Lan Islands flinched, but they didn't flinch separately, but chose to gather together, gather at a certain point, and then everyone went home together!

  The British still had deviations in their estimates of the size and performance of the German fleet. They regarded their attack targets as warships dominated by large armored cruisers and light cruisers, and there might be one or two battlecruisers from time to time. Major General Abbasnot thought well. Everyone gathered, the armored cruiser covered the auxiliary cruiser's evacuation, and the left-behind destroyers and other armored cruisers from the Shetland Islands responded. This is better than evacuating each. At least gather together and cover each other better.

  But what he didn't expect was that the German fleet on the opposite side was too powerful! All five battlecruisers are here! This fleet is enough to deal with the Betty fleet during the Jutland naval battle in history! And the playing will be very pleasant, there will be no tangles in the process!

The three battlecruisers Goben, Blücher, and Von der Tann sailed towards the intersection of the British route. After Cedritz discovered that all the prey that could be identified so far had begun to evacuate, she also slid decisively. Follow. The speed on one side is about 15 to 18 knots, and the other side dashes above 27 knots. In other words, how can you run past others?

When Major General Abbasnot’s Black Prince armored cruiser and Major General Ace’s Hampshire armored cruiser met, six auxiliary cruisers were already concentrated here, and then they suddenly spotted one in the direction of the Shetland Islands. A huge shadow!

The German warships also came from all directions. When they appeared in the eyes of the British, they did not converge. The position at this time was probably like this. The Goben and the Cedric were about 15 kilometers northwest of the British fleet. The distance between the Goben and Cedric is about 3 kilometers. Von De Tann was stuck to the west of the British fleet and was in the best position. Blücher was to the southeast of the British fleet. The other two light cruisers appeared to the east of the British fleet, following two auxiliary cruisers. The entire British fleet seemed to have reached an encirclement.

  If you are fighting an opponent of the same level, then the best option for the German fleet is to immediately release the smoke and run away. There is no formation at all, it is completely the rhythm of wherever it goes! how to spell? But the problem is that the combat effectiveness of the British fleet is too watery! No matter how you beat the Germans, there is no reason to lose. As long as the British can be included in the shooting world, then the rest is to fire!

  If there is no formation, it is inconvenient to communicate. The biggest problem is the issue of firepower distribution. Fortunately, there are more targets, and the two armored cruisers of the British are too conspicuous. The Goben and Vonde Tahn, which are located in the front, are aimed at the Black Prince and Hampshire armored cruisers respectively!

"The overall situation has been determined, only A is left!" If the prince were here, he would definitely say such a thing, and this is indeed the case now. After 4 German battlecruisers fired tons of shells, the war The result is actually set!

  The Shetland Islands have appeared in sight. As long as the fleet sails at full speed for 45 minutes, it will be completely safe, but now, the last ten kilometers has become an insurmountable distance! The two lead armored cruisers were first fired by a focused fire. Von der Tann’s artillery caliber was slightly smaller, so the Hampshire supported a slightly longer time, and the Black Prince was left under the intensive care of the Goben. The down time can only be calculated in minutes.

"Let’s rush up and cover the brothers behind!" The courage displayed by Major General Abbasnot at the last moment of his life is amazing, but there is no use for eggs. The Black Prince’s 10-inch gun can’t reach the Goben at all. , In a few shots of precise and fierce firepower~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Although the Black Prince was not killed by the High Seas Fleet in less than three minutes as in history, he did not support it for more than 20 minutes!

Major General Abbasnot’s charge was finally terminated by two 350MM heavy artillery shells that hit almost simultaneously. One shell hit the main battery magazine located in the front half of the battleship, while the other shell detonated the torpedo compartment in the bow. The torpedo, a series of explosions spread from the bow to the back of the hull, and the entire bow was shattered into fragments in a flame.

The other armored cruiser Hampshire armored cruiser also did not escape the fate of defeat. Although Vonde Tahn’s artillery caliber was a little smaller, it was enough to knock on the 7-inch side armor of the Hampshire armored cruiser. While the Von De Tann sent a shell to the hull of the Hampshire at a long distance, the German destroyers were already unable to bear it. Under the cover of intensive bullet rain, the four destroyers quickly approached the ship. Some overwhelmingly overwhelmed Hampshire armored cruiser fired 8 torpedoes in a row at a distance of 3500 to 2000 meters. After two violent explosions, the Hampshire armored cruiser slowly sank with nearly a thousand soldiers. In the rolling waves of the North Sea.

  After the last two armored cruisers that could barely jump and sink into the sand, the remaining auxiliary cruisers were completely desperate to face the German warships with a gross tonnage of about 100,000 tons! All that is left is a one-sided slaughter, and even time is not needed!
