Due to the intelligence in Room 40 and the powerful combat power of the First Battlecruiser Fleet, the large fleet with 16 main battleships stopped on the northwest edge of the Dogel Shoal, and smiled at the raid fleet with 8 main battleships strangled Heidi Sileme.

Before 20:00, the situation of the British was very good. Queen Mary was damaged at two boilers, 350 tons of water was inlet on the bow, and the hull was sinking at a slight cost of tilting left; three dreadnoughts of Tiger, Royal Princess and Major General Ravenson attacked on both sides, and the two ammunition depots of von der Tann exploded and were about to sink; although the Lion Battle Patrol was injured by the Battle Patrol, the Moltkes, which were trapped in beasts, were still injured, but their speed was still higher than that of Moltkes. David Betty, a pair of naval wizards who were both enemies and friends, would definitely decide the outcome.

Victory was within reach, and the proud and relaxed Marboro Sailors hummed the Royal Navy's military songs that had been sung for centuries near the forecastle.

“When Britain was at the beginning of the world,

When the Creator is placed on the blue sea

I have already vowed to the gods of this land

Swear to protect this continent with the gods forever

Rule!

Britannia! Rule this surging ocean!

The Britanns will never be enslaved!”

In the age of sails, sails flies, and the royal navy with the kingly aura defeated the arrogant French era with the inspiration of "rule-britannia". In the age of steam, coal smoke rolled, and the royal navy with the Nelson z-flag flag was accompanied by this military song, inserting the rice flag into every corner of the world, conquering the wiseness of the empire of the sun never set; on November 14, this high and exciting military song was once again loud and loud on the long-lost Dogersshore, and glory seemed to be ahead.

The exciting military song floated in vain. General John Jelico, who was taking a nap in the commander's room, turned over on the hard iron bed, sang in a low voice to the familiar melody, temporarily forgetting the panic in his heart. Just as Jelico was asleep, the communication officer of the Great Fleet Command pushed the door in extremely rudely, and his heavy voice echoed in the small commander's room.

"Commander, Ravenson Fleet Emergency Telegram!"

Admiral Jelico unintentionally pursued the communications officer's recklessness, turned over and got up, randomly approved a coat, and read the telegram under the dim light of the bedside lamp.

"The main ships of the Ocean Fleet were found in the northeast. They had two Defringer-class equipped with 350 main guns. This was a trap. I had to order the fleet to retreat and ask for strong support from the large fleet."

"I know, I know!" Jelico was like an old man in his twilight years, trembling in his arms holding the telegraph paper. "Communication officer, inform the combat teams of each fleet to raise their anchor!"

At 20:04, the telegraph room of the Temporary Flagship of the Grand Fleet, Marborrow, received an emergency telegraph from Major General Arthur Ravenson. A few minutes ago, he felt good and said that there was no more of the sampan with an iron cross and a black hawk flag in the shallows. Major General Arthur Ravenson, who had instantly contracted amnesia. Various contradictory and loopholes were sent to him one by one like snowflakes. Ravenson wanted to clearly mark his fear in the telegram!

Even the most experienced staff officer of the Great Fleet could not judge the "stern situation" facing Major General Arthur Ravenson from these incoherent telegrams, and could not speculate on the quality of the aggressive ocean fleet.

How could the Defringer-class battle patrol, which should be modified at the Brom-Foss Shipyard, appear in the Dogel Sands, and the number has become two? How did the elite of the Ocean Fleet sent by the Emperor to the Baltic Sea fly to the Ravenson Fleet? The Defringer-class factory renovation, the German Emperor's transfer order, and the codebook obtained in Room 40. Are all these German conspiracies? Is David Betty and his First Battle Cruise's decisive attack a stroke of the destruction of the German ambush plan, or is the date of the implementation of the German ambush plan on November 14, or is the Royal Navy, which has been trance for hundreds of years, forget the offensive tradition, and rely too much on the so-called intelligence advantage?

Countless doubts were in Taziman, commander of the Marborough fleet. However, the situation was extremely sinister and could not allow the fleet commanders and staff to think in detail about the subjects that had transcendents and extensions beyond pure military and expanded to broad fields such as philosophy, psychology, and political science.

There is a fact that the unknown number of German main ships have already reinforced, and at this time the large fleet is still 40 nautical miles away from the Ravenson fleet. What's even more terrifying is that on November 14, the large fleet without a numerical advantage could not compete with the Ocean Fleet!

"The first patrol fleet, the third light patrol fleet, the first and second destroyers fleets are equipped with the first battleship squadron as the forefront and immediately start anchoring to the combat waters; the main force of the large fleet goes south for 10 minutes, and the second battleship squadron and third destroyers fleets are rear teams to maintain a 10-minute range with the main fleet."

Admiral Jelico, known for his prudence and conservatism, was not keen on any risk that might endanger the large fleet. The veteran realized that the Royal Navy was on the verge of a decisive battle, which was exactly what the Germans "extremely anticipated" and the large fleet could not afford. So the experienced veteran issued the order to respond to the south at the first time, and emphasized to the heads and minds of the fleets again and again:

"Each fleet should take the first priority of responding to the First Battle Cruise Fleet and avoid any substantial conflict with the Ocean Fleet!"

****

At 8:10, Major General Leibrecht-Mass led the second reconnaissance fleet, four light patrols and eight destroyers of the First Destroyer Squadron bypassed the combat waters at a speed of 27 knots, and took advantage of the night to head towards the hinterland of Dogel's shallows. The second destroyer Squadron, led by the lead ship Madeger Castle, slowly approached the battle patrol of the Von-de-Tann, and stared at the Royal Princess on the other side. The Tiger fired torpedoes and released smoke to cover the retreat.

Unfortunately it was too late. At 8:16, the flames of the von der Tann were pouring into the sky and smoke. Captain Colonel Marx Hahn ordered the abandonment of the ship. The crew was transferred to the destroyer under the leadership of the remaining commander.

At 8:15, the bow and hull of the ship's war cruiser von der Temper broke and the bow sank quickly. At this time, von der Temper's crew found that the respected Captain Hahn was not on the rescue destroyer, so several bold sailors jumped down the cold North Sea and marched towards the overturned battle.

At 8:20, the sea water overflowed the main deck of the Von-De-Tanen. The hull was tilted by more than 20 degrees right, the power system was completely interrupted, and the thick smoke completely wrapped the hull. The sailor had to wear a gas mask and search for Captain Hahn over and over again in the dark superstructure.

The sailors' efforts were not in vain. They found Captain Hahn in the cab who tied himself to the rudder of the bridge.

"On September 5, 1912, I was ordered to replace Colonel Robert Mischek and become the great Captain Von De Tin!" Hahn refused the good intention of the sailor. He bowed his head and stroked the old ship with a full load displacement of 23,000 tons, equipped with 305 heavy artillery, and a maximum speed of more than 27 knots. His haggard face was full of paternalistic old Huai and his relief from the death of soldiers in the battlefield. He smiled and said: "This is an old ship that started construction in 1906. I thought that it could not bear the glorious mission of the rise of the German Navy and the great gun showdown of the battle. However, under the leadership of Major General Heidi Sileme, it shelled the port of the British Empire. The Marines on the ship landed on the British land. The first round of artillery sank the Invincible enemy of Life and Death."

The speed of the warship sinking was still accelerating, and dull explosions came from deep into the hull from time to time. So the sailors knew that another sealed cabin could not withstand the pressure of the sea water. The sailors carefully took a step forward and said with a little hesitation: "Captain, Germany will have more advanced combat patrols than the von der Tempern to serve, and there are many first-class warships waiting for your command. The surviving crew members of the von der Tempern are waiting for your call, looking forward to returning to your majestic seaside!"

"The German Navy does not lack a commander like me with mediocre qualifications. It also has a group of young and energetic young people like Heidi Silem, Bernhard von Oden, Wolfgang Weigener, Erich Redel. They will shoulder and carry on the will of the continuation of the six-week war at sea, allowing the German black and white red flag and the Navy's iron cross black hawk flag to exist around the world." Captain Hahn shook his head and looked calm: "Since I came to Von der Tin, I have regarded this old warship as all my things. Now all my soul is about to break Doger, where can I survive alone!"

The sailors left dejectedly. On the ocean and on the destroyer, the surviving crew of the von der Tann saw a tragic scene: with a harsh creaking sound, their battle patrol completely overturned, exposing the hulls under the waterline covered with algae and shellfish to the air. In less than thirty seconds, the battlefield where they once fought bloody sank into the silt of Dogel's shallow seashore, leaving only a huge vortex on the sea surface.

At 8:29, the Von De-Tann battle patrol was buried at the bottom of the northern ocean as the third sunken main ship in the fierce Dogersal Sea Battle.

****

Before the war patrol of the von der Tann sank, another battleship was buried in the North Atlantic.

The First Reconnaissance Fleet hit the Thor and dragged Major General Arthur Ravenson into a terrifying vicious circle. He was frightened and determined to save his existing victory and avoid any unnecessary losses, but he could not and dared not give up the Thor.

The encounter war magnified the mediocrity of Ravenson to an unparalleled situation. Perhaps in peacetime, as the commander trained by the Royal Navy assembly line, Major General Arthur Ravenson was able to manage all fleets and lead the fleet to win a low-intensity indigenous war. However, once he encountered high-intensity, non-mainstream melee, night battles and chaos, Ravenson's negative psychology and conservative tactics became the most terrifying nightmare of the Royal Navy.

After learning that the Thor battleship was shot, Ravenson ordered the Monarch and Conqueror to appropriately reduce their speed, turn the guns and fight back as soon as possible, and cover the Thor's retreat.

At 8:17, the Monarch and Conqueror battleships turned the guns, measured the distance, corrected the angle, and waited for a good opportunity to cross-fire. The First Reconnaissance Fleet concentrated its firepower on Thor for four consecutive rounds of accurate and hated artillery bombardment, knocking the lightly injured Thor into a serious injury colander. The Ravenson fleet then launched two rounds of counterattacks that had no achievements. As a result, Thor was shot three times again, a 4-inch sub-cannon in the unit and its lower ammunition chamber were hit, the waterline with armor was torn open by 350 heavy cannons, and water was injected into three cabins on the starboard side, fifty-six sailors were killed, and more than one hundred were injured.

After suffering losses, Ray Vinson remembered to inform the tiger that the Royal Princess Battle Patrol had a reverse attack. At this time, the two battle patrols evacuated the battlefield at a speed of 27 knots in accordance with the retreat command issued by Ray Vinson, which was 9,000 yards away from the Ray Vinson fleet. Even if the two battle patrols take difficult maneuvering actions such as reverse or full rudder steering, they will have to be at least 20 minutes before they can enter the battle.

"All kinds of inconsistent commands, poor command skills and timidity make the encounter at around 20 o'clock one one-sided."

At the secret military court hearing after the war, the captain of the Tiger Battlecruiser appeared in court to testify. He explained everything to the military judge in brief language. Afterwards, Arthur Ravenson was removed from the military post and ordered to retire early.

At 20:25, before the Tiger and Royal Princess completed the embarrassing return run, Thor, which suffered heavy losses, could no longer hold on. An armor-piercing bomb shredded horizontal armor and detonated the X-turret ammunition depot. A ball of charming flame gushed out from the depths of the hull. Thor was blown into two pieces on the spot and buried at the bottom of the sea.

"Commander, do you want to hold those two battleships?" asked Lieutenant Colonel Singhlaer, the new General Staff Officer of the First Reconnaissance Fleet.

The general was silent for a moment, and looked at the fleet of Ravenson who was turning in in a hurry and shook his head and said lightly:

"General Scher is still 50 minutes away from us. First, the second World Warship Squadron is two more hours. The large fleet sets out earlier than us, so it should be cruising nearby. Once the scale of the battle rises to the level of the decisive battle of the main fleet, we may not be able to gain a advantage with the added tactics!"

Although the ultimate goal of Doger Shoal Battle designed by Wang Heidi is to solve the large fleet with Trafalgar-style naval battles, breaking the long-range blockade of the Royal Navy, and severely damaging or annihilation of the First Battle Cruise Fleet is just the lowest goal, both Friedrich von Ingnor and the bold Heining von Hetsendorf tend to keep the lowest goal. Franz von Hippel, the most outstanding tactical commander of the Ocean Fleet, is determined to achieve the ultimate goal, but due to the early outbreak of the battle, he lacks intelligence support and cannot figure out the battlefield situation. In addition, the distance of the subsequent fleet is too far, Hippel has to give up entanglement of the Ravenson fleet and let the decisive battle of the big ships and giant cannons be left for the future.

"The fleet heads west and save Moltke!" Hippel took a deep breath and pointed to the heart of Dogel's shallows with a little regret.

[Eileen has mentioned the military song of the Royal Navy for a long time. After listening to it, it really has the taste of the sea soul, and it can be heard with intense enthusiasm. I originally wanted to excerpt the English lyrics, but it was too bad. Finally, I recommend the Nine Astronomy of Tangren Yuye again and welcomes book friends to read.
