[When I came back under the damn typhoon, I went to the supermarket to prepare stocks, turned on the computer, logged in to QQ, and the editor suddenly appeared and found the word "online". It is said that when it was first launched, I always had to update more. I wanted to cry, so I didn't have time to update, it would be nice to update one day...]

The North Sea in winter and spring is daunting. The peaks that hover north and south, and frequent cyclone activities have caused the storm surge of this small pond more than ten meters high, with ice and fog flooding. The heavy fog spread in the North Sea all night. At around 4:30 on the 4th, the fog finally showed a trend of collapse on the Jutland coastline. The visibility of the North Sea expanded from the initial 500 meters to more than 2,500 meters.[]

After breaking away from the battle with the British Second Battlecruiser Fleet and searching westward without success, the First Reconnaissance Fleet, led by Wang Heidi, rushed straight to the British's response point - the dangerous Scarglack Strait. However, at 3 o'clock, a telegram from the Ocean Fleet shocked the First Reconnaissance Fleet up and down.

A series of small and exciting attacks in a very short period of time, the battle in the fog of the Helgolan Bay, the glory of Sochi Cape, the thrill of Coronel, the horror of Dogers's sandbank, and the Ocean Fleet have almost become synonymous with the invincible German war. The corresponding morale is always high, and in addition to this, there is also impulsive and arrogant. In March, the news of the defeat of the Royal Navy's Muderos Bay was reported at the first time. The Ocean Fleet officers and soldiers felt that the so-called invincible fleet was just right. However, the mysterious steps used by David Betty in the North Sea gave the proud German navy a blow.

"The British are not puppets in German scripts. They are engaged in a naval battle that concerns the fate of the country! This is a fucking war!"

Wang Heidi, who made a mistake in judgment, felt her face burning, her fists in her pockets loosened and tightened, and she used the most vulgar language to criticize her self who had almost forgotten her original intentions and was eager for quick success.

Scher's order to turn around the team was executed by the First Reconnaissance Fleet. Wang Heidi gave up the cruise formation that was conducive to the development of the battle line and launched a loose search formation. Five battle patrols lined up into long columns to form the central force; the right wing is a faster destroyer fleet, with low freeboard and speeds above 27 knots helping destroyers escape unpredictable dangers; the left wing is composed of the second reconnaissance fleet led by Major General Leibrecht-Maas, and the newly formed second reconnaissance fleet is not fast in speed, but this side is relatively safe.

After the formation was changed, the front width of the first reconnaissance fleet, which was traveling south at a speed of 18 knots, had a vision of more than 8 kilometers, and had a field of view of 14 kilometers. Even so, finding another fleet in the vast sea was still unavailable. The interceptor station on the Jutland coastline could never receive radio telegrams from the British, and the contact with the camouflaged trawler fleet deployed in the Scarglake Strait also failed. The airship squadron at the North Sea base, as the few remaining inside the navy, was still loyal to the military power of German Navy Minister Edward Von Capelle, and the request for reconnaissance could only become an unattainable luxury.

As time goes by, Wang Heidi became more and more anxious. He faced the weakest main fleet of the large fleet since the arms race. The Royal Navy's unprecedented high-level changes, shouldering the future happiness of family and friends, and the life and death of the empire! It should be known that this is the most favorable opportunity for the Ocean Fleet to defeat the Great Fleet. Once the British escape by chance, the British who have recovered will soon be able to use their shipbuilding advantages to re-suppress the Ocean Fleet!

At 5:26 on March 4, the omnipotent Creator saved Wang Heidi and played a big joke with the arrogant Royal Navy: easily avoiding the unreasonable patrol fleet deployed by the British Empire in the Orkney Islands and the Shetland Islands. The American cargo ship Hadley, sailing near the Jutland coastline near the southern end of the Skagrak Strait, accidentally broke into the middle of the German and British fast fleet routes. The famous Hadley fast cargo ship and the American sea cowboy driving them, once again became the target of millions of curses in the Allies later on the 4th.

The British navy full of hatred really hates those talkative Americans. After the Battle of Dogel Sands, the Hadley fast cargo ship entered the British Empire's naval blacklist, causing trouble from the British for no reason on the high seas. The Hadley was hidden by its ocean freight company and was withdrawn to the United States for a while to avoid the limelight. However, monetary interests can allow capitalists to trample all human moral laws. According to the company's requirements, the Hadley reloaded in February, loaded a ship of saltpeter from Chile, and slipped north through the British North Sea blockade line full of loopholes, and headed south along the remote Jutland coastline to Hamburg, Germany.

In the view of the adventurous old cowboy, Captain Ross Geithner, the company's prudence is undoubtedly a waste of money and life, but he has no right to modify the company's plan, and the old captain has to carry the depressed journey. However, no one expected that the noisy American cowboys would once again become the storm of witnessing the historical moment, and were pushed to the forefront of the world media.

At 5:27, the Luzov battled the watchtower and found several black smoke towering in the south. At this time, the afterglow of the night in the North Sea was still there, and the fog had not yet dissipated, so the German lookout made a misjudgment. "A suspicious smoke column was found 3,900 meters ahead, and it was judged to be an English armored cruiser or light cruiser." The report of the watchtower made Wang Heidi overjoyed. The third destroyer on standby was quickly sent to check the enemy situation. Almost at the same time, the old opponent David Betty issued a similar order, and the 13th destroyer ran at high speed in the direction where the smoke column was.

At 5:42, the owner of Yanzhu was confirmed. The awesome British people were so angry that they were so angry that the taciturn Germans were quite moved by the noisy American cowboy's true face was revealed in the telescope of the Lookout. The commanders of the two fleets unconsciously curled their lips and took their eyes back from the nosy star-stripe flag.

If it were just like this, the greatest battle of the dreadnoughts in the Steam Age would no longer exist, and the tragic battle of Jutland might be completely different. Unfortunately, when the two destroyers were ready to return home in a dim mood, the trembling American ships played an internationally common flag under the instructions of the old cowboy: "Neutral ships, according to the neutral laws, please do not attack by both sides of the war!"

The American flag language made the commanders of the two destroyer fleets shudder. In critical moments, the two navy's completely different historical traditions, the naval spirit and marine concepts were fully displayed at this moment. The Germans, who had good discipline and obedience, and had engraved their reason into their blood, reported the enemy situation to the flagship regardless of everything, and used the Z-shaped maneuver as close as possible to the British side, trying to confirm the size of the British fleet; the British commander, who advocated attack, issued attack orders happily, and the shells entered the chamber torpedo to settle down, preparing to avenge the hatred of the Second Battlecruising Fleet, and wanted to compete with the glory of the German destroyer.

At 5:44, the German destroyer watchtower with a lower freeboard found a large number of smoke pillars behind the Khalid freighter, and this scene also fell into the sight of the British destroyer. The German First Reconnaissance Fleet and the British Fast Fleet discovered each other.

The trend of bright sky is becoming more and more obvious. The two fleets with few ammunition stocks are 12,000 yards apart, but both sides have not shot at one shot, and they keep a reserved silence tacitly. After more than ten minutes of contact and testing, the two fleets are close to 9,500 yards. Both sides measure the distance at the maximum visible distance and adjust the artillery angle. The battle is about to break out.

Thanks to the first discovery of the destroyer fleet, the Sileme fleet was able to turn east calmly. In just a few minutes, the wounded German battle patrol pressured and ventilated the boiler, and the speed suddenly increased from 18 knots to an incredible 26 knots! Until this time, the British commander, who had a slight advantage in the exchange of destroyers, found that torpedo attacking the German main battleship had become an impossible task, so he had to give up embarrassedly.

The current maritime situation is that the German First Reconnaissance Fleet with five battle patrols encountered the British fast fleet with eight fast battleships. The British had the advantage of quantity and firepower. Although the Germans had five battle patrols, the Germans had suffered heavy damage and their combat effectiveness had dropped by several levels early. However, the first reconnaissance was not without a chance to enter the team, because the Germans who turned first had a slight angle advantage over the British fleet, and the German fleet had a speed advantage.

At 5:59, the two fleets were closer to 9,000 yards. The long-standing armor-piercing bomb finally came out of the chamber to test the cannon. The sound of the cannon shattered the pale tranquility of the North Sea, and the surging sea battle slowly kicked off!

At this time, the British fleet was on the east side, while the Germans blatantly sought the Royal Navy's unique skill - the T-shaped one, and cut out an angle that was not obvious to the east, but was enough to maintain their tactical advantage.

The two fleets were heading towards each other at high speed. At this distance, the weak armored British Battle Tour was obviously at a disadvantage. However, Betty was reluctant to issue countermeasures. His old opponent, Silame, obviously saw through his attempt to turn west and meet with the big fleet. He only maintained the advantage of turning start, and did not simply and rudely put on the t-shaped head. After some action, Silame forced him to turn eastward, and the plot to split the fast fleet and the big fleet's connection was not only Betty knew it, but even those military academy students could see three points.

It was like a delicious glass of poison wine. He knew it was impossible, but he had to drink it with a wry smile. Betty hesitated for a long time, and he had to give the order to turn the right steer with a gloomy face with a 20-degree turn.

At 6:23, after completing the painful turn, the Queen Elizabeth battleship was first shot, but the position of the shot was not very important. Only one coal warehouse was destroyed, and another cockpit was infiltrated. Three sailors were killed and the speed decreased by one quarter. Three minutes later, the Moltke battle patrol was gathered by Queen Elizabeth and Australia. An armor-piercing shell pierced the upper armor belt, and then pierced the gun well armor under the Anton turret again. Thick smoke and poisonous gas spread in the Ando turret, and the gunner died heroically before he could put on a gas mask. The fire caused by the explosion of the shell warhead spread in the Moltke ammunition transport aircraft passage. However, the German ammunition loading room loader strictly followed the safety regulations, so the closed armor cover saved everything, and the sea of ​​fire was temporarily isolated.

At 6:34, the two fleets successively drilled into a thin sea fog area. The fog interfered with the distance measurement work, and both sides had to stop temporarily and set aside again. The results were counted. The Luzov battle patrol and the Deflinger battle patrol were shot one by one, but neither of them caused major damage. The German battle patrol was shot in the water, and the tremor caused by the shell made the plug that the German was hastily repaired and loosened the sea.

The water was poured in again, and the speed dropped by 26 knots; only the Moltke was a bit tragic, the Anton turret was destroyed, and thirty-six sailors were killed. The British Queen Elizabeth battleship was shot two times, with complete combat power and reduced speed to 23.3 knots; the Tiger Battle Patrol and the Indomitable Battle Patrol were shot one time, and a boiler cabin of the Tiger was destroyed, and white water vapor spread everywhere. The Indomitable Bridge was shot, and more than half of it was cut off by large-caliber shells.

At 7:03, the sea fog was left with only the last afterglow, and the naval battle continued. The shaking German Battle Cruise Dora turret hit the Battle Cruise with a 350mm armor-piercing projectile accurately. The Battle Cruise is comparable to the 5- to 6-inch waterline belt of the armored cruiser, which is as fragile as paper in front of the 350mm shell weighing more than 600 kilograms. It was attached to the waterline belt of the Fortune Block, like mud. The battle headquarters arrived as scheduled. The 18,500-ton battle cruiser hulled violently, and a terrifying displacement occurred on the horizontal line. The 5-inch thick side main armor belt flashed at a speed invisible to the naked eye, and spread at a faster speed. After the terrifying creaking and twisting sound, the armor belt was deeply sunk inward, and finally a large hole was dug out, and a violent explosion occurred in the depths of the hull.

"The Germans opened fire at 6:33, and the side of the roof hit directly, and the target ship had a significant left tilt!" The lens of the German rangefinder group amplified the hit situation by 20 times, and the loud and excited voice of the rangefinder resounded in the commander's tower.

It's done! The Captain of the Germans stroked his shirt and tried to maintain the reserve of the German officers in front of his subordinates. At this time, a slight tremor came from the soles of the captain's feet, which turned into violent shaking. The powerful external force overturned the captain and his assistant to the ground. The German mold placed on the table shook it and fell on the solid deck, scattered all over the ground.

"Commander Tower, the Germans were shot on the starboard side, repeated, the Germans were shot on the starboard side!"
