Chapter 16 Hole Cards (5)

[The previous chapter said that the servo cabin and boiler of the War Warfare were destroyed. After being corrected by the great god, it was a bit unreliable, so everyone knows the boiler and servo.]

At 20:05, the somewhat restrained officers and soldiers of the Second Battle Cruise Fleet had just moved and the encounter was over.[]

Major General Moore would never admit that he issued a steering order, and there was another reason besides joining the First Battlecruiser Fleet. When the Second Battlecruiser Fleet braved the German artillery fire to perform steering action, the veteran also amplified the strength of the Second Battlecruiser Fleet in fantasy: Although the three untiring class battlecruisers were outdated, they could deal with the Germans Seidlitz and Moltke, and the Germans, which suffered heavy damage, were more than enough, not to mention that he also had two Queen Elizabeth-class battleships, with a maximum speed of 25 knots and four 15-inch main guns. Before the Hood-class super battleship appeared, it was almost the dream work of the fleet commander.

The fantasy is innocent, but the fact is cruel. In just five minutes, the German gunner with superb artillery achieved results, and the servo of the War-Welfare was destroyed. The poor War-Welfare had to rely on the servo operated by manpower to perform steering movements. As for emergency avoidance, it could only be a kind of unrestrained luxury.

The encounter of the WarWar broke the veteran's last backbone, so the white waves stirred up by the bow were cut and crushed by the hull. The waves of the hull were layered, and the red Z-flag shook straight on the mast. Queen Elizabeth, WarWarWar, Australia, New Zealand, and the voluntary line formed a long line, continuing the Marseille spiral Cruyff's turn-on turn movement under the sea fog on the Jutland coastline.

At 20:17, the sea fog spread a little, and the Second Battle Cruise Fleet stumbled and adjusted its course to the southwest. The Forbidden Battle Cruise, which landed at the end of the team, vaguely discovered the big guy on the northeast side. In an eager to get rid of his difficult opponent, Major General Moore, who met with Betty, ordered the retreat of the seventh and eighth destroyers, launched a torpedo attack.

At 20:25, the Seventh Destroyer Fleet was the first to form. The destroyer sprayed thick smoke and crossed the bow of the Queen Elizabeth at a speed of 35 knots, and rushed towards the entangled German First Reconnaissance Fleet.

On the cold night of the North Sea, the destroyer's displacement of only a thousand tons, and the tremor caused by the full speed of the steam engine almost threw the sailors on the deck into the water. The thick smoke from the chimney covered the sky and the sun. Even the British lookout who tied himself to the main mast watchtower could only open his eyes and pinch his nose and let it go.

At 20:35, the murderous British Seventh Destroyer Fleet encountered the German First Destroyer Fleet as soon as it bypassed the bow of Queen Elizabeth. There was no doubt that the two groups of men who had died had the same idea and met on the ocean on a narrow road.

Compared with the British, German destroyers developed late and failed to come back like the Dreadnought and Battlecruiser Builders.

Before the 1906 destroyer was put into service, the German Navy had been using the name of large torpedo boats. When Britain and other countries began to increase the tonnage and gun fire of their torpedo boats or torpedo boat destroyers and design a new type of ship - destroyer, the Germans' thinking was still stuck under the shackles of the Green Water Naval School, and they were about to use the torpedo boats as a separate combat force to attack the enemy's main ships at a slight cost. However, a paper by Wang Heidi had a subtle influence on the Germans who had just taken the decisive step in exploring the ocean.

In the defense of the graduation thesis of the Kiel Naval Academy in 1897, Wang Heidi proposed that the torpedo boats were not concentrated as separate combat forces, but were used as large fleets to fight, perform tasks such as protection of the main ships, fire support, reconnaissance, and search and rescue. These forward-looking predictions were not taken seriously at the time. The Ocean Fleet, which was eager to expand its troops, focused on the battleships. The so-called 1898 large torpedo boats were as small as ever, with thin skin and poor firepower. However, when the world navy entered the era of dreadnought, the Germans suddenly found the value of Wang Heidi's paper, and he rushed to pull out almost ancient papers from the old paper pile, and the 1906 destroyer was soon established. Since Wang Heidi named this battleship with a new mission in his paper a destroyer, the name of destroyer became the official organization of the German Navy.

Unsurprisingly, German destroyers adhered to the fine tradition of focusing on protection, and sacrificed the firepower of the destroyer fleet. For Germany, the epoch-making 1906 large destroyer had a displacement of 745 tons, but only a few 35-diameter 88 mm main guns. The subsequent standard displacement of the 1911 and 1913 large destroyers soared from 800 tons to 1,000 tons, with the endurance and torpedo-tube number, but the 35-diameter 88 mm main gun has not changed. It was not until before the war that it was temporarily modified into a 35-diameter 105 mm main gun. However, at the same time, the British destroyers had generally equipped 4-inch (102 mm) and 6-inch (152 mm) main guns.

It has to be mentioned that the complexity of the type and number of German destroyers not only makes the most technically super dizzy British spies, but even Wang Heidi occasionally feels alienated. German destroyers can be divided into three types: large, medium and small destroyers. The 1914 and 1915 destroyers that have been started to be built one after another are small destroyers, and large destroyers can be divided into 1898, 1906, 1911, and 1913 destroyers. However, besides all this, the German destroyers can be divided into three categories: s, v, and g. These abbreviations are taken from the first letters of Xishao Shipyard, Vulgan Shipyard, and German Shipyard. There are also new numbers in the later stages. It represents that the destroyer comes from Antwerp in Belgium, Blom-Foss in Hamburg, and howardswe in Kiel.

The destroyers of Germany and Britain met at a distance of less than 1,000 yards. Without any speculation, the British 6-inch and 4-inch shells hit the German First Destroyer Fleet like raindrops, and water columns splashed around the destroyer with low freeboard and poor navigational ease. At 20:36, the first destroyer V-27 was caught off guard and was torn a nearly two-meter-long crack by a 4-inch shell and drilled into the engine room. The explosion broke all the steam pipes of V-27. The main engine and auxiliary engine were shut down. One minute later, the destroyer V-27 was hit by a 6-inch shell and the explosion sank; the destroyer V28 also ate a 4-inch millimeter shell, which exploded in front of the destroyer's bridge, and the radio antenna, watchtower and searchlight disappeared.

The British did not have been rampant for too long. The 105 and 88mm main guns equipped by the German destroyer opened fire and suppressed them one after another. The armor belt on the upper side of the destroyer was penetrated and the main gun ammunition room exploded in front of a gate. The ammunition depot of the destroyer exploded instantly, and the bow of the ship broke in the darkness. A dazzling orange flame exploded under the strait of the cracks, and large pieces of iron and dust were thrown to a height of dozens of meters.

The poor nomad fire surged into the sky, and it sank in the cold and ruthless northern ocean for less than ten seconds before it was declared to sink. More than 60 sailors were killed on the spot.

The USS quickly became the next victim, and its stern was unfortunately hit, and only the poor armored servo was destroyed. The shell explosion caused a fire, which became the best reference for German destroyers to shell under night and fog.

At 20:46, the British Eighth Destroyer Fleet and the German Second Destroyer Fleet joined the battle. At this time, the German First Destroyer Fleet was only 700 yards away from the main ship of the British Second Battle Cruise Fleet. The German destroyer fired torpedoes at the Second Battle Cruise Fleet that was moving at high speed. The British realized that the situation was not good. The main ship was densely filled with sub-air artillery and cruisers equipped with combat. All the artillery guns of the destroyer opened fire like a desperate situation. The sea area on the side of the German destroyer instantly boiled. Which of the British and German countries that had completed the rise of a great power was more loved by God? The answer will be revealed with the white marks below the sea level filled with smoke.

"A torpedo was found on the front of the port side, and the right rudder was evaded!" In the narrow command towers of destroyers, the German captains covered in oil were hoarse, and commands were issued one after another.

"Fish-proof system, emergency avoidance!" The small destroyer turned agilely, and the entire hull was slightly tilted. He barely avoided a fierce 450mm torpedo, through the observation holes, peta

Captain D was surprised to find another torpedo. The British Peta, who issued the last command, issued the British Peta

The captain of the destroyer D was surprised to find a 450mm torpedo that cut through the thorns, penetrated the futile firepower net set up by the sailor with small caliber artillery, and headed towards Peta

Number D rushed over.

The proud Royal Navy captain closed his eyes. In the flash of lightning, he remembered his wife in the country manor in Wales, a floating white dress and a young son who loves fishing. All the beautiful things flashed like a glimpse of the glimpse. After the embarrassing nirvana, the captain vaguely found his heartbeat still.

"Thank God, that damn torpedo was passing by under our feet because of the problem of depth!" Navigation wiped away the cold sweat from his head, and he was still scared.

No one will look down on the almost exhausted peta

The navigator of the D, even if he was a brave and invincible Royal Navy! Because this is war!

"Damn war!" peta

The captain of the destroyer D released his fist and covered his shirt pocket with family photos. He gave an order with a breath of death without any joy or sorrow: "Refill the anti-torpedo position, peta

No. D strikes back!”

"Happy to serve..." The gunman's British humor came back, and artillery of various caliber was projected at the German destroyer with no chance. After losing all the torpedoes, the German destroyer in the observation crew telescope began to retreat in the z-line.

With a bang, there seemed to be a fiery red light scattering behind him, dyeing the lookout's military cap red. Before the lookout could turn his head, his colleague murmured and repeated an astonishing message:

"The War Yan was hit by a torpedo..."
