At the moment, the right turn of the fast fleet is still abundant, and the tactics of double attack in front of the tactician Heidi Selim are full of temptation and imagination, but it is still not a good choice
At that time, the division of sea forces was a taboo for military strategists. Although the British war patrol based on Hill’s’ perfect cruiser’ theory did not participate in the battleship duel, which had a far-reaching impact on the modern naval warfare, there was never a hot scene in the naval battle of Ri Tran. However, since the German Orkney Islands naval battle excavated the potential of battle cruiser’s battle in the battle line, it seems inappropriate for the British to continue to adhere to Hill’s theory, especially since their main fleet is close to semi-disabled.
Moreover, the Germans of the fast fleet move in opposite directions, which makes the Royal Navy lack of effective shelling, and makes it difficult for the gunners of the fast fleet to accurately hit their opponents. It is meaningless for the Germans to make up their minds to attack the weak main fleet, the ocean fleet, and not suffer terrible losses.
Regardless of the advantage of the number of capital ships, the Germans divided a combat unit to suppress and fight back. However, the battle line of the ocean fleet is about 15 kilometers, and the relative speed of the two opposing fleets is less than 3 knots, so that the nine warships of the fast fleet can patrol for less than 1 minute. It is difficult to imagine the difficulty of hitting the Germans hard when Ziyó u attacked.
In the face of the crisis, Betty was slow to make a decision, and Nobel Prize in Literature winner Lieutenant General Lampard looked at the commander tower and frowned.
As soon as the British Empire was dizzy, the Germans turned
Nine battleships of the Third Battleship suddenly gave up attacking the British Fourth Battleship and turned to crosscutting the fast fleet’s forward route to seize the horizontal head. The first Battleship and the first reconnaissance group not only failed to make up for the five-kilometer gap left by the third Battleship, but gradually slowed down and adjusted the fire channel to deal with the British Fourth Battleship. After the third detachment, two iron duke class Second Battleship were disabled with a Joe-5 and two giant battleships.
Betty, I’ll see if you choose to die fighting or kneeling …’ To be continued.
The second gun Chapter 12 The Stars and Stripes Fall (3)
When David Betty and Lampard hesitated, the Germans took the lead in taking the initiative to firmly control the naval battle in the Orkney Islands.
Nine battleships of the Third Battleship forcibly turned left to crosscut the fast fleet. Except for four Queen Elizabeth-class warships of magic change, the Royal Navy did not patrol and was better than the battleships. So the Third Battleship was able to cope with the problem that the warships turned to the fast fleet at a large angle for a long time.
Obtaining three mackensen-class patrol ships on the main fleet side supplemented the first battleship team, instead of rushing to fill the position of the third battleship team, reducing the speed to avoid the British terrible 15-inch main artillery group facing head-on, and the joint first reconnaissance group continued to suppress the semi-disabled British battleship team.
Seven battleships and six battleships went to deal with Britain’s two iron duke class and three second battleships, and the remnants of the team were suspected to be high-altitude guns to kill mosquitoes. The Germans brazenly showed off their superior firepower, while the number of capital ships was absolutely superior at the beginning of World War I, and the British took countermeasures.
It’s easy to slow down the fleet if Betty wants to protect the battle line squadron, but it’s not so easy to speed up again and get rid of the Germans. Just look at the terrible situation of the British first battleship fleet
The commander tower of the battleship Revenge and Barram was in a state of chaos. Betty seems that the defeat of the Royal Navy is inevitable, and the end must be whether the Royal Navy kneels or dies.
The so-called death means that the fast fleet turns left and the battle lines of the main fleet converge as much as possible, so that the Royal Navy Germans who added nine main ships can fight in a magnificent way to wither the gorgeous North Sea.
If David Betty had been in high spirits two years ago, he would have chosen to die. Even if the Royal Navy could not defeat the Germans, he would have tried his best to bite one or two combat detachments of the ocean fleet, shouting,’ British sailors are never afraid to take responsibility. This generation of Royal Marines can die, but they must leave enough to support a generation of ruins to rebuild the Royal Navy’s fighting J Ο ng God!’ Lead an old and young fleet to fight to the death.
Unfortunately, in 1917, David Betty, the’ Marine Cavalry’ of the British Empire, was no longer young. He shelled Alexandria and fought in the 19-year Far East Punishment War. A first-line naval commander was dragged down by the fame of his youth and the doting of the older generation. David Betty did not have the experience of drifting overseas for more than ten years, but he still grew up again and again and abandoned unrealistic idealism to become King Arthur, a submarine.
At about 14: 00, the whole British empire lost its way to the fast fleet, and no one dared to give the final order, dare not bear the responsibility for the collapse of the imperial navy, and even more unwilling to become a national and national sinner. So the main fleet of the ball fleet, the fast fleet, the Admiralty and the National Defense Commission kicked around, and finally David Betty took over.
It was British Navy Arthur King Balfour who chose Betty to share the responsibility. The old man didn’t inform the admiralty slick. Goff KarThorpe, the first sea minister, brazenly ordered the fast fleet to cover the retreat of the main fleet as much as possible before defending itself. But David Betty, the former British’ sea cavalry’, had sent a tragic farewell report that he had chosen to die on his knees inhumanely.
Command the fast fleet to turn right and attack the German battlelines. After getting rid of the German battlelines, pay attention to the United States battleship detachment and enter the main fleet at Scarpa Bay and enter Firth Bay at a speed. Except for the first battleship, other warships awarded Ziyó u the action benefit. Good luck to you! 14: 04 David Betty, Grand Fleet Command’
Betty’s order was cruel. He refused the enthusiasm of the fast fleet and gave general Lampard the cover of the innocuous battle line. He was determined to keep a combat unit and a promising naval commander available to the Royal Navy at any time.
The fast fleet got rid of the big fleet, but fell into the eternal hell, especially the second battleship fleet that was awarded the action benefit of Ziyó u.
Although Betty didn’t say anything, everyone can understand his subtext. It is certainly a good idea to let the main fleet’s residual capital ship accelerate off the battlefield when the Germans divide a fleet to intercept the patrol and turn right to the patrol for more than ten minutes. The problem is that the second battleship team can’t run when it is disabled, that is to say, the second battleship team becomes a big fleet, tactical abandonment of the cover, the main fleet retreats and the so-called Ziyó u action is just a futile psychological comfort.
Maybe it’s not just the second Battleship, three battleships, the fourth Battleship, and the third detachment, the battleship Marboro, also lost speed and gradually fell behind the Bao and the Indian Emperor.
Tabetti, commander of the Bavarian battleship, unexpectedly chose to make Sillem unprepared. Heidi Sillem wrote in his memoirs
Is kneeling to death! Betty finally lost the camouflage of the natural enemy of the Royal Navy, woke up from a dream that lasted for more than 300 years and made a real choice. This way, David Betty is terrible and good. All the dust settled when the ocean fleet first got the banner. Even if Betty and I will have a confrontation, I believe that we will be old by then, and we will no longer be the protagonists of this gorgeous sea …’
When naval experts interpreted David Betty’s command, they commented that "one step is not a good move", which was barely praised, because it did cause trouble to the ocean fleet’s one-step action. It has been five or six minutes since the German Third Battleship turned left, but it has become worthless for the Third Battleship to seize the word in the face of the right-turn fast fleet.
It doesn’t mean that the third battleship team takes the lead. After all, the turning radius of the third battleship team is usually smaller than that of the battleship’s hull. battle cruiser, but the problem is that the turning of the 19 main ships left for the two formidable fleets is extremely limited. When the third battleship team ends, it may take two or three minutes to complete the turning with a hundred degrees less. Even if the British patrol team adjusts their course very well, the fighting distance between the two North Sea fleets in the southeast will not exceed 1 km.
The battle distance of 1 km between the German battleship and the British patrol can ensure that the armor belts are destroyed each other, which is not worth the loss for the ocean fleet with absolute superiority in protection.
It is also inappropriate for the first battleship team or the first reconnaissance group to intercept the British fast fleet. Just because the first battleship team was seriously injured and the sā class battleship was able to struggle in the battle line doesn’t mean that they can afford to turn to destroy the three mackensen class battleships temporarily transferred, and they also lack running-in.
At the moment of the first reconnaissance group, its forces are extremely scattered, except for three mackensen-class patrol ships, Seidlitz and Mao Qi, which are intercepting and rushing towards the coastline, trying to rush to the beach. There are three Devingel-class patrol ships that can be mobilized at any time.
Betty saved a lot of situations for the big fleet, but it could not completely change the passive situation of the Royal Navy, as Heidi Selim said.
Let the third battleship team adjust its course and not rush back to the battle line of the main fleet and the battle line of the fast fleet. It’s not bad that the fast fleet has a few dregs …’ To be continued.
The second gun Chapter 12 The Stars and Stripes Falling (4)
(Finally, there is good news. The tune is finally fixed. Tears are running. One day, orkney’s English chapter will be over. You can calculate how many ships the British have left …)
"("King of the North Atlantic "section 7 at the end of the rice flag ri)
West Lyme’s plan to completely destroy the Royal Navy has fallen behind. Nelson J ○ ng and the quality of professional officers are more important than David Betty’s newspaper, which almost broke the wrist of a strong man, abandoned thousands of soldiers of the second battleship team on the battlefield and abandoned the Orkney Islands naval battle defeat department.
In an instant, the dust settled in the whole British island. Only Belfo, the British Secretary of the Navy, sighed in his dark office.
The fast fleet is turning on the way. It is foreseeable that General Lampard’s nine battle cruiser ships will pass through the south edge of the battlefield at a high speed by 25 knots, and then go straight into Scarpa Bay. The main fleet of the big fleet is going crazy, even if the flagship Revenge and the third team Marboro are gradually falling behind, even if the weak squadron of the first battleship is gradually pulling away, even if the distance is 15 inches. The counterpoint of the main gun group is that four Helgolan-class battleships and two sā-class battleships have been in service for nearly ten years, and the first battleship team is still dragging long soot and running desperately in the North Sea.
In the face of insisting on losing the car to protect the handsome, even the ocean fleet deliberately threw out bait and lost the third battleship to protect the first battleship, and the big fleet was also familiar with it, even though Heidi Selim’s genius was at a loss.
West Lyme didn’t put on a face of disappointment, but from this sentence,’ Let the third battleship team adjust its course and not rush back to the battle line of the main fleet and the battle line of the fast fleet, it’s not bad for me to beat the battle line of the fast fleet …’ The staff officers of the Ocean Fleet Command vaguely smelled some sour taste.
In the third year of the war, the so-called naval gentlemanliness has been exhausted, and Britain and Germany have long been sworn enemies
The last round of firefight continues.
Very not easy to aim the bow at the direction due south. The Bavarian occupied the word horizontal head. When she hit the flagship barham of the fast fleet at random for three rounds, she was ordered to turn to the third battleship fleet, which was busy grabbing the word horizontal head. Only then did he know that it was a joy to adjust their course and speed according to the flagship instruction.
It’s a more complicated process to keep the fleet in a relatively complete formation on the way to turn again. A staff officer of the battleship Oldenberg recalled the chaotic scene of the third battleship team at that time.’ After the general gave the order, the navigation officer, the communication officer, the cockpit and the steering engine room almost lost their hands and feet for a few seconds. All kinds of flags and flags were hoisted from each mast, and the big, small and square reporters almost stepped over the threshold of the commander tower.’
Battleship Bavaria in the North Sea forced high speed, re-aligned the bow to the southwest and turned on the steering device of the main gun driven by force. Gradually, four Helgolans followed the flagship and kept the distance and course of the battleships at all times. They were glad that they had not turned to four Caesar-class battleships, and they needed to worry that the first battleship team might collide after slowing down. At the same time, they adjusted the direction of the muzzle of the 35 mm main gun to aim at the opponent who was about to come out from the south side of the battlefield.
The formation of the third Battleship is out of order at the moment, and the fast fleet is not good enough to go there. The fast fleet starts three or five minutes later than the Germans, and the steering angle is also larger than the Germans. Although the relative distance between the two fleets is shortening, the opponents can’t attack first because of the fleet steering.
In the third round of firefight, the first achievement was still the main fleet.
Lieutenant General Ma Wei’s first battleship fleet in the North Sea began to slow down, hoping that the British would covet to sink four Helgolan-class battleships and two sā-class battleships, so as to take the initiative to slow down their speed and give the ocean fleet a chance to completely destroy the main fleet of the big fleet, while worrying about whether the British would be cruel enough to slow down regardless of the 15-inch main gun group to fight a larger foe.
The fact is that the British discouraged them from losing the second battleship and began to fight for their lives.
Since the British took the initiative to send gifts and lost two capital ships, Lieutenant General Ma Wei has no reason not to accept gifts from the British, or to say that he doesn’t mind getting back from the British and trampling on Heidi Selim a few more feet. His ambition is greater than that of Lieutenant General Xing Gemavi, a typical German soldier who is cautious. In his plan, if the British dare to kill themselves, they will have to leave at least two iron duke class to compensate.
In the face of a mackensen-class and a Devlinger-class battle patrol on the battlefield, the battleship Giant soon could not hold on.
At 14: 12, the trestle of battleship Giant collapsed near the commander tower. The chimney was pierced through a huge hole, and the P turret was pierced, which caused a fire to spread from the P turret at the stern of the ship. The medical cabin at the bow of the ship was full of many wounded people. It is relatively easy to compare the second-class deck to receive first aid for the seriously injured. A dose of morphine was injected. The medical officer was quick to stop bleeding, bandage and splint. As the fire began to spread to the depths of the ship, the sailors with gas poisoning were carried from the bottom cabin.
At this moment, a 35 mm armor-piercing projectile came along the deep trajectory of a 3 mm armor-piercing projectile and sank into the dark P turret of the battleship Giants again. This time, the explosion-proof cover of the main turret gun shaft failed to play, so the sea of more than 20,000 tons of battleships violently shook and trembled. After a series of explosions, the battleship Giants broke and quickly sank into the sea.
This is the beginning of the disaster, and it was not long before a more terrible accident happened.
In the early exchange of fire, the battleship Marboro gradually fell behind due to hull damage. The battleship Bao behind Marboro was being attacked by the German Baden. The root did not notice that it was approaching Marboro. When the two battleships were less than 100 meters away, the Baohao woke up like a dream.
Captain Bao made an emergency turn and shouted to prepare for pipe damage. Unfortunately, it was too late. Before Bao escaped from the scope of fluid dynamics, two ships collided uncontrollably, and the bow of battleship Bao severely hit the Marboro. The bow of the former was seriously flooded and the dynamic system of the latter was seriously damaged.
Sometimes collision accidents at sea are abhorrent, especially in naval battles, when the commander of the fleet can tolerate the sinking of his own capital ship and the firing of firecrackers by his opponent, but it is just not allowed to happen. It is annoying to lose strength because of human error, and even worse, collision accidents are always a slap in the face. Once it happens, two warships directly lose their combat effectiveness.
Even the First Battleship Team won’t be polite to the British when it rains at night. Battleship Baden and four Helgolan-class battleships desperately fired at these two poor and feared ships. In less than five minutes, battleships Bao and Marboro sank one after another.
The Indian Emperor battleship, which landed at the end of the fourth British battleship team, almost got a good captain. It turned to this iron duke class and every cloud has a silver lining leaned against the pair of he is my brother steel walls to suddenly increase its speed by 21 knots and finally escaped the fierce pursuit of the Germans.
