Chapter 963: Blockade in name only one

As a well-known tycoon in Japan, Yutomo from Yamaxian County is polite to say that his hands and eyes are open to the sky! He can even get news from within the Navy! As he said, this time, the British did find the Japanese navy. They have begun to urge the Japanese navy to fulfill their previous agreement and send capital ships to the battlefield.

Although the main force of the German High Seas Fleet did not trouble the British during this period, the British were also quite uncomfortable. The British senior officials finally adopted Jericho’s suggestion. The main force of the large fleet was deployed in the Gulf of Forth to ensure that the English Channel and The safety of the British coast. Under this circumstance, the German fleet naturally did not dare to face the large fleet, but the blockade from the Shetland Islands to the Norwegian coast was completely ruined!

When the prince brought his 6 Bavarian and British fast fleets to the Dorger Sandbar in full swing, Hipper’s battlecruiser formation took more than one younger brother directly to the tenth light cruiser formation that performed the blockade mission. After a relatively clean and thorough cleaning, after this battle, the number of British auxiliary cruisers that can be used for blockade dropped by nearly half!

And this is just the beginning, the brave Royal Navy officers and soldiers were not frightened by Hipper's **** butcher knife! On the third day after the withdrawal of the German battlecruiser detachment, they continued their "North Sea City Management" business. However, what was unexpected to the British was that there were German battlecruisers who dared to stay on the North Sea blockade. In time, two disguised cruisers disappeared mysteriously! One of them sent a vague telegram before sinking!

Sank two auxiliary cruisers in one night? The British staff were not vegetarians. After inferring the location of the sinking of the two auxiliary cruisers based on intelligence, they believed that it was not easy to find out because the locations of the two sunken ships were very far apart, and the time interval was only 1 hour. The time is a bit too short. If the submarine is doing it, then there must be at least 10 submarines in this sea area before such a coincidence can happen. This is a problem of probability. The submarine ambushes the auxiliary cruiser, it is almost luck. what.

Of course, there may be suspicions of German auxiliary cruisers, but no matter what, the Royal Navy cannot sit idly by. After suffering heavy losses, it should be more and more courageous. Therefore, the Royal Navy once again sent 6 auxiliary cruisers and some Ships with anti-submarine capabilities were used to reinforce the entire blockade, and by this time, the inventory in the hands of the British 10th Cruiser Squadron was almost used up! If you lose again, you can only rebuild.

However, it was precisely because of this slightly sloppy action that the British blockade was finally broken! In one night, the battlecruiser Cedric, which was dormant in the North Sea, killed 6 auxiliary cruisers and small ships in a row! There is no need to look for the Cedric battlecruiser. The British did not realize what kind of opponent they were about to encounter. They did not implement light control at all, and in order to anti-submarine, they had mutual support. Most of them were two ships together. action! At night in the North Sea, the British auxiliary cruiser without lighting control is tantamount to selling the first in the eyes of the Germans!

Each firefight is very short-lived. When the British saw the 200-meter-long "large cruise ship", they naturally went to check the water meter. The disguise was not visible from a distance, and when you could see it, it was already too late! Not to mention the mighty heavy guns that can penetrate the Queen’s armor. The 8 secondary guns on the side and the 88mm anti-lightning guns can’t resist the firepower of the auxiliary cruiser. The battle lasts no more than 15 minutes, and the Germans Naturally, he would not be responsible for providing assistance to the auxiliary cruiser who fell into the water. After the British broke the "rules" with the camouflage submarine hunter, the last bit of "trust" between the two parties disappeared. For this kind of irregular confrontation ships, the German warships can only kill or bury them!

And the British Royal Navy was shocked when such a big incident suddenly happened. The next day Jericho was also stunned after receiving the report. There is no end to it! Although the Cedric kill was happy, but it also left the case. The British finally realized that there was a German fleet dangling near the North Sea blockade. And 80% is a big ship, then Jericho is depressed, what should I do? Not to mention the heavy losses of his fast fleet, all of them were injured, and they needed to lie in the dock for repairs ranging from 3 weeks to 3 months. Where are you looking for fast battleships to hunt down these things?

"Don't we still have two Queen-class fast battleships?" When Jericho asked Fisher to report the problem. Then Jericho looked at each other with a rather strange look. New thinking, Fisher also worked in the first-line fleet anyway. Has his tactical level fallen below the pass line after more than ten years of civil service? "The injured two Queen-class fast battleships need at least two and a half months to repair, and the other two battleships must maintain pressure on the Suxiong fleet in the Indian Ocean before they can be replaced by new power."

Leaving the front line for a long time did make Fisher's level drop, but the most important issue is that the maintenance of the North Sea Blockade is too important for the Allied Powers. Germany, with or without foreign aid, is definitely two concepts. Some time ago , Germany, whose materials are blocked, can beat Britain, France, and Russia a bit miserable. If the North Sea blockade collapses, even if it is only a period of time~www.wuxiaspot.com~ With the influx of large quantities of materials, Germany's war potential is bound to Great outbreak! This is something the UK would never want to see! So Fisher wanted to get rid of this German battlecruiser dangling near the blockade as soon as possible!

However, all things need to consider objective reality, not what you think you can do. Now the British really can't extract a battleship that can handle a fast battlecruiser.

"Think of a way, this problem must be solved." Fisher said.

"How can I solve it?" Jericho murmured in his heart, but then, a battleship squadron was sent to try to kill the Cedric. The North Sea is so big, it is okay to find it, and then the British watched as a burst of small cannons on the Cedritz entered the depths of the Norwegian Sea... No way, the speed difference is more than 5 knots! Can't catch up at all.

This is not the worst. Two weeks later, when the British battleship again encountered the German battleship near the North Sea blockade, the two British battleships were surprised to find that their opponents were actually two German battlecruisers!
