Although the German patrol came last, it was finally out of the battle. At 1: 13, the bridge at the back of the bow of the German ship was cut off, and the horizontal armor was chiseled through the armor-piercing boiler room, which exploded and caused a fire.
Germany’s stern fire became indomitable, and the patrol was a little old and backward. The rangefinder had better indicate the sign indomitable. A 12-inch armor-piercing projectile poured several tons of explosives near the patrol, and Germany fought back at 1: 24 because the rangefinder was disturbed by the smoke from the stern fire. Although the fire in the stern of Germany has not been extinguished, the battle is still over in vain, because the usual fog in the North Sea is close to forming, and the indomitable has lost its target of hiding in the sea fog and shelling.
Wang Haidi’s first reconnaissance fleet, David Betty’s fast fleet, fought for more than half an hour, and Germany and Britain were still wanting more than 16 yards away. The sea fog made both sides lose their shelling targets and had to stop fighting for a while and lick their wounds.
In this turmoil, the Royal Princess sank quietly. It was not accompanied by the royal navy style, desolate and tragic, and the Scottish bagpipes were not in the same mood. At 1: 24 on March 3, 1915, the northern edge of Helgolan Bay in the North Sea was about 1 nautical mile from Jutland coastline. White sea fog accumulated here, and it was bright and thin, and the night was thick and quiet here.
The opening of the sea valve made the sea water swallow more and more fiercely. The huge hull of battle cruiser piled up by British pound eventually capsized and creaked because of too much water on one side of the hull. After that, the heavy three-legged main mast slammed hard, and the ocean was deafening. After the sea splashed, the main mast broke.
Rust has crept all over the bottom of the ship, and there are boring explosions in the depths of the ship from time to time, each of which constantly stimulates the sailors near the Royal Princess to spread. Another sealed cabin can’t bear the weight of seawater and burst into the water. The sailors who fell into the water can’t help but speed up their paddling and try to escape from the vortex that is about to form. Less than a minute later, the Royal Princess sank in the ocean and formed a huge vortex to devour the nearby bodies, clothing and debris.
The ocean is floating with the bodies of heroically killed sailors. Sweet photos of lovers leaked oil and broken wood. Fortunately, sailors put on wet clothes and endured the temperature of 35 degrees at night in the early spring of the North Sea, driving lifeboats and trying to find survivors to salvage the bodies of their companions. Fortunately, those who are lucky still stand on the cone, let alone collect the bodies in luxury.
Combined with the ranging report of the lookouts of Luzov, Devlinger and Cedritz, the sergeant Wang Haidi believes that the Royal Princess has only suffered heavy losses, while Betty is busy repairing the antenna of the Lion newspaper room to restore communication between the ships of the fast fleet. The tragedy of the Royal Princess has not yet been fed back to him.
"The commander’s antenna is set up!"
"Order the First World War Patrol Fleet to sail at a speed of 4 degrees to the north-east." David Betty loosened his fist and took out a handkerchief from the beginning of the outpost, and wiped his hands at will. "All the ships of the First World War Patrol Fleet completed the analysis and summary of the results as soon as possible, assessed their own losses and reported to the flagship that the ninth destroyer fleet had to alert the first and second destroyers to search for the fighting waters to rescue and collect the wounded. In addition, it sent a telegram to the second world war patrol fleet Elizabeth, the big fleet Iron Duke, asking for their position!"
The commander’s tower is full of dull and tangled smell. A fierce sea battle is fought against each other. The battle result reported by the capital ship usually takes care of the ship’s life and death. It is an exciting but puzzling thing!
The results of the patrol of the unyielding ship took the lead in counting the 12-inch main gun of the unyielding ship. A total of 12 main shells were fired at the unsinkable ship Mao Qi. Mao Qi was shot once and judged to be slightly injured. The unyielding ship was shot once and nearly lost five rounds. A 47-inch auxiliary gun was destroyed and killed. Twelve people were killed and one person was missing.
The captain of "Perfect Cat" read out the statistical report in the later period. For nearly half an hour, the Battle Lion fired a 21-inch shell at the Luzov. The Luzov was shot five times, and it was judged that there were minor injuries. Compared with the Luzov, the Lion was slightly injured. First, half of the signal cable of the wire antenna was destroyed, which led to the disconnection of the flagship Lion, and then the turret of the stern was hit and more than 70 sailors were killed.
The report on the Battle Patrol of Lion added a little gloom to the faces of the staff of the Command Tower’s fast fleet. Good news came from the Battle Patrol of Tiger. The Battle Patrol of Tiger fired a 15-inch large-caliber shell at the Battle Patrol of Cedritz. One of the four rounds hit the Battle Patrol of Cedritz accurately. When the stern of the ship was lifted, it was judged that the Battle Patrol of Cedritz was badly damaged. The Tiger only ate a few near-missing bullets, and even minor injuries were not even mentioned.
The news from the patrol of the indomitable ship made the commander tower of the lion patrol jubilant. The indomitable ship fired 14 12-inch main shells at the patrol of the German ship. The hull of the German ship was hit by two rounds of fire, and it was judged that the German ship was badly damaged and had lost its combat effectiveness. The indomitable ship was hit by one round of boiler damage, and the maximum speed dropped by 24 knots.
"What about the Royal Princess?" Betty almost remembered what she bent over a thick stack of newspapers and carefully copied it in a cold sweat. "And where did my World War II patrol fleet go?"
The second gun Chapter 16 Card (1)
[Last night, after all, it was less than 3,000 words to code a chapter. That chapter was first owed to whether it would be written by me as a weekly, monthly and annual magazine …]
Like a lost migratory bird at a crossroads, the Devlinger is in a mess, the Cedritz is tried and tested, the Mao Qi is devastated, and the Deutschland follows Luzov on the ocean.
The bodies of the unfortunate have been placed in pure white shroud, and the lucky ones are either wrapped in thick blood-stained bandages or covered with unstitched wounds. The captains are in a hurry to finish the war inventory and report to the flagship Luzov at the first time.
It just ended for half an hour, but the battle was like a feast of gorgeous giants. The youth wrapped around the fingers and wrapped around the head, but after all, it could not withstand the destruction of the night fog and abandoned the killing of the red eye. The German and British navies ended hastily
Face to face with the first reconnaissance fleet of the British fast fleet with ten capital ships, their British wise commander led the decisive time difference, and took advantage of the fact that the two newly-commissioned Queen-class fast battleships and three tired patrol ships had not yet arrived at the battlefield, they suddenly attacked and intercepted the first patrol fleet.
This is a national event. Winning the British long-range blockade and the protracted war of the Allies will no longer be a terrible nightmare. Losing the short-term sea balance will be broken. The most important thing for the ocean fleet club to be miserable in the North Sea is the opportunity … once!
Perseverance is the first to find opponents. General tactics, dynamic training, and repeated firing instructions. Damage control team members risked their lives to forget their lives. Thousands of officers and men of the first reconnaissance fleet tried their best, but it was a ridiculous draw after half an hour of hard fighting. No, how could it be a draw!
Middle-ranking officers are hiding in the vicinity of the cannon’s profile, munching on canned beef. Although even the nearby ships can’t see clearly through the annoying sea fog, those blue-eyed pupils still keep flying to the flagship sailors to queue up to eat in the restaurant. The winter night in Beihai is cold and long, which ensures the sailors’ physical strength. Unfortunately, the kitchen has been slightly relaxed by the waves. The restaurant is full of embarrassment, silence or silence. The captains are wrapping up thick winter clothes and walking in the fog. Looking at the dark night, they sigh and sigh, all the vicissitudes of life!
The commander is as famous as David Betty. Maybe he has joined his second world war patrol fleet, and ten fast capital ships are lined up in a battle line for several kilometers in the vast sea. Maybe he is showing his sharp fangs in the night to give the hunter the most fatal blow.
Not reconciled! After several times of hard training, several days and nights of deliberation, it was a grand place after the dust settled. The first reconnaissance fleet was not the first. The first reconnaissance fleet still wanted to fight for the first world war. Before that, there were ten fast capital ships like David Betty, and after that, there were conservatives in Charlottenburg Palace eyeing it. Can a 37-year-old young man still resist the pressure as before, put aside the shackles of "protecting the ship from war", overdraw his military career and support the iron and blood to fight for the last one?
The captains left their heads and asked the silent Luzov
"That’s ten fast capital ship! The German navy can’t stand failure, even if a capital ship sinks, it will make the ocean fleet collapse! "
Pale eyes red and swollen, deputy commander of the first reconnaissance fleet, Major General Lewentzo, tried to keep a stubborn quiver in front of Wang Haidi, saying,
"Commander, we still have a chance!"
"As the commander predicted this naval battle before the war, we only have the last chance! It is better to fight for a chance than to be trapped in the coastline and become a fleet! " Singer Lyle, a younger and more impetuous general staff officer than Lewentzo, jumped out and blushed and retorted.
"The fleet is still a complete fleet!" Wang Haidi’s tacit cooperation with Lewenzo rarely expressed his own views, mixed with regret, pain, anger and shame, which were vented through tough words. "It is true that the British are in a bad state of fast battle, and it is more than enough to defeat us in an open battle! Maybe all of us can laugh about life and death, but once the first reconnaissance fleet fails in a prehistoric case, who will protect the coastline of hundreds of nautical miles in Germany? ！”
Earlier, when Wang Haidi was unexpectedly promoted to the rank of Chief Staff Officer of Lieutenant Colonel of the First Reconnaissance Fleet, Lewentzo was the deputy chief staff officer of the major and graduated from Hamburg Naval Academy. His most intuitive impression on Wang Haidi was that the typical Prussian officers believed in iron blood, less talk and more discipline. Today, Lewentzo showed his other side, which is also the most precious thing of German bloodthirsty militarism. Perhaps it is something that Wang Haidi struggled for but still clung to.
The sudden dispute and conflict between the deputy commander of the private good fleet and the general staff officer of the fleet made the atmosphere of the commander tower of the Luzov war patrol strange. The temperature seemed to have dropped, and Rao, a battle-hardened veteran, couldn’t help shivering. The thin air makes the staff officers in the fledgling military academy breathe all over and quiet, so that the reporters can hear their heartbeat clearly.
Even if the commander looks calm, everyone knows that their most respected commander is under pressure, but the commander is hiding, but everyone can see that the sedative in the commander’s pocket is the key to breaking the deadlock, but the staff officers find it so difficult to say one more word and urge one more word!
The command tower was fil with countless silences, and at this time, Haidi finally withdrew his sight from everyone’s face and spoke indifferently.
"The temporary method of repairing the speed of the heavily damaged boiler of the Deutschland can maintain Wang Haidi’s turbid sight and sweep the faces of everyone. It seems to distinguish some clues and stubbornly choose to forget." That is to say, we still have four ships, namely Luzov, Devlinger, Cedritz and Mao Qi! "
Perhaps this cold joke was so shocking that everyone was busy digesting it, or felt that the story was too dull and boring, so the commander-in-chief stopped talking and the silence continued.
"Look at our achievements … The indomitable and unyielding cruises were slightly injured. The Lion and the Royal Princess were seriously injured. The Royal Princess may have lost its combat effectiveness." Wang Haidi opened the newspaper face and always hung a touch of shallow emotions. "The British two queens have just been completed and have not yet formed combat effectiveness; It’s not known how much combat power there is left for three tireless Atlantic ships to complete a stunning turn-back run. "
Seeing that he was afraid of war and death, Wang Haidi finally chose to stay under pressure and face the unknown. Whether he was an otaku in his previous life or a German sailor in this life was more or less habitually conservative, but no one was more aware of the direction of the war by Wang Haidi. No one knew the ending of the fleet better than him. After all kinds of hesitation, Wang Haidi finally decided to take a brave step and stubbornly chose everything in his previous life to evade.
"The first reconnaissance fleet turned to the course of 2 degrees north-east speed 1 section! The first destroyer team went out to be responsible for investigation and warning. The second destroyer team cleaned the battlefield and paid attention to covering the second reconnaissance fleet at any time. I need news from the big fleet! " Wang Haidi took out her pocket watch and looked at it for a while. She was a little excited and depressed. Her tone finally rose high. "I admit that I underestimated my opponent and underestimated the war. It’s 1: 41, and the ocean fleet is behind us. It’s about three hours away from us. On the way to the top of jutland, the British fast fleet is lurking near us. They found us and lured us out of Helgolan Bay as much as possible to fight the Scar Gerakl Strait!"

After calling the Royal Princess Taiguo several times, the senior officers of the First World War Patrol Fleet began to realize that the situation was not good. The First World War Patrol Fleet Command carefully concealed the fact that the Royal Princess lost contact and used the excuse of searching for 16 missing sailors and prisoners who fell into the water. The German crew took out some information from their mouths and sent the first and second destroyers to the warring waters to carry out "search and rescue".
The destroyer commander-D-Roper Naval Academy sent back the confirmation message. The former Royal Navy had reason to believe that the "Perfect Cat" Royal Princess was damaged by the wire antenna, and the possibility of piercing the armor-piercing bullet next to the commander’s tower room or exploding and sinking the cruel ammunition depot was not hesitated to rule out!
At 1: 52, the second destroyer team, which was cleaning the battlefield, reported to the flagship Lion that German light ships were found in the warring waters. Minutes later, small-caliber artillery replaced those armor-piercing bullets with a diameter of more than 3 mm, and the British destroyer cruiser led the German destroyer team to launch a small-scale naval battle with little meaning.
There is a lot of distance between the sea area at war and the defense circle of German Helgolan Bay at 2 nautical miles. Obviously, German patrol ships will not brave the coastline of Jutland at night. Therefore, Betty can almost conclude that her old enemy Heidi Selim, his first reconnaissance fleet, has not gone far, and is used to dancing boldly on this tightrope. Betty has reached the steering instruction after balance.
Although the first world war patrol fleet has not yet joined the second world war patrol fleet and the Royal Princess has lost its alliance, the German German German patrol has been hit hard. The captain of the indomitable patrol has guaranteed his career that the German patrol fleet has lost its fighting capacity. Four pairs of four Moore, Major General, and the second world war patrol fleet, Betty is determined to put on a battle line and fight again!
As soon as the steering order reached the rear, the small-scale artillery battle ended hastily. "The Germans seemed to be terrified, and they retreated in despair after less than five minutes of contact with each other." The news of the disappearance of the Royal Princess was concealed, and the damage suffered by the German was limited to enlarge the officers and men of the first world war patrol fleet, so the morale of the second destroyer team was high, and the good mood of the British stopped there.
At 19: 22, it was dispatched to search for the missing sailors. The first destroyer team returned. Ten small ships with a displacement of less than 1,000 tons were scattered. On the patrol side of the Lion, a leading ship slowly came to help.
The sailors on the patrol side of the Lion didn’t confirm that the destroyers smelled of smoke in twos and threes, and they didn’t know the crew quota. The destroyer came with more than 200 crew members in tattered blankets crowded into the narrow deck of the destroyer. At this time, the first destroyer team led the ship, and the bold reconnaissance cruiser made a request. The patrol sailors of the Lion were confused by the lights and happily threw thick ropes to let the destroyer team commander-D-Roper climb up the gangway.
"Commander, the Royal Princess has sunk!"
