At 22: 00 on the 2nd, the ocean fleet finally received the command from the Navy General Staff. After more than 15 hours of turbulence, it finally came to the uninhabited southern Dogel Shazhou to ambush.
Before the British fast fleet slipped out of Scappa, Heidi Searlem, one of the best strategists of the former German Navy, had predicted Betty’s arrogance. The British fast fleet was still in Portland Bay. Searlem’s first reconnaissance fleet had sprinted towards Helgolan Bay and deployed camouflage intelligence ships in the southeast waters of Norway. It was found that the first reconnaissance fleet of the British fast fleet had slipped from Jutland coastline and was rushing to Betty’s retreat route, while the ocean fleet was heading for the scheduled sea area at a speed of one quarter. Before dark, the British fast fleet was attacked on both sides, strangled them, and completely blinded the eyes of the big fleet. Open the key
"General Bohr, where have you taken my fleet?" Admiral Edward von capelle, the secretary of the navy, pushed open the door of the office of the chief of staff of the navy angrily and said angrily
Take a nap in the afternoon Hugo von Bohr lifted a blanket and slowly sat up from the couch, apologizing slightly, "General capelle, you …"
"General, I’m not white …" capelle interrupted Bohr’s greeting with an abnormal crackling of the worn wooden floor in the office of boots in the previous step, waving his arms and burning with anger. "I didn’t know that the Imperial Navy Minister Selim Fleet disappeared from the Gerakl Strait of Polo Heiska. I didn’t know that the ocean fleet slipped out of Jed Bay last night. I didn’t know that the main force of Scarpa Bay went out to sea late at night!"
"General capelle, although I am the chief of the navy’s general staff, I am a neurasthenia old man who can’t stay up all night and has no knowledge of what happened last night." The old general at night doesn’t seem to recognize capelle’s slight exercise with a gun and a stick. He went back to his desk with reading glasses and bent over the desk to copy it for a long time before he dug up a file with a hoarse voice. "But, general, I think this naval transfer backup file can help you."
General capelle unceremoniously took the copy of the ink-wet backup file and glanced at it slightly. Immediately, he took off his power and unconsciously retreated a few steps. "Kill Betty’s fast fleet?" ! How dare they take action without the approval of the emperor and the secretary of the navy! "
"General, I have to wake you up. Although the young people’s actions are flawed, they have not violated the procedures and rules of the Admiralty." Bohr brought himself a glass of water and swallowed several sedatives until the dizziness eased a little. "General capelle, this is a veteran era. Maybe young people are not as paranoid about their personal future and their enthusiasm for profit as you are."
Bohr’s words seem to be right in the middle of capelle’s heart. The face of the Secretary of the Navy is full of stiff smiles, trying to justify himself. What Bohr does is to hold the corner of the desk and sit back on the sofa. His temples are gray and his head is gently leaning against the cushions to meet the penetration from the cracks in the office shutters. In March, the sun was lazy and closed his eyes.
"Betty fleet lost step Jellicoe will step by step Schell hippel ambush west lime tackle! The ultimate battle between the iron will and the wisdom of warships in the era of fear of ships is really worth looking forward to. It’s a pity that Germany was tied to the roulette wheel of fate. It’s a pity that I am an indifferent spectator. It’s a pity that I am old! "
Capelle didn’t go to the naval office after all. He urgently needed to tell the emperor William about this appalling news. He wanted to get back the office of the chief of staff of the navy. The veteran suddenly opened his eyes and his eyes were muddy. He swept capelle’s desk and backed up the documents. The eyes changed from sharp to hesitant, and finally evaporated and sublimated into a shame!
"The Third Reconnaissance Fleet of the Chief of Staff found Betty Fleet in the cruise area of Helgolan Bay!" Staff war staff Lei Deer rushed in three points uneasy seven points agitate way
"Young man, your war has begun!" The veteran seems to have disappeared with Lei Deer’s cry. Some irrational and personal beliefs exploded like a plague and occupied Bohr’s veins. The old general seems to have returned to those exciting youth decades ago. "My war has also begun!"
The second gun Chapter 14 Variations (1)
Long and boring sailing at 15: 00 on the 3rd, the otaku fleet arrived at the northeast side of Dogel sandbar, which is 4 nautical miles from the ocean fleet on the south side of sandbar, 2 nautical miles from Jeddah Bay and 15 nautical miles from Jutland coastline.
After arriving at the scheduled interception sea area, the well-trained German sailors began to run at high speed like precision running machines. The middle-level officers of the German sailors were familiar with Wang Haidi’s command style. It is not necessary for the commander to emphasize that even the boiler soldiers who were immersed in the power cabin of the Luzov patrol all day knew that this must be another solo action of the Navy God of War, which would make the God of War go to war at the expense of the naval political storm. The object of the ancient system of the Croatian officer regiment could be Betty with a little ability or greater ambition across the North Sea.
Middle-ranking officers of sailors are also interested in the strategy of great men. After years of training, the German national character is vividly displayed. They know that General Selim’s cowards, whose edges and corners have been flattened by the Admiralty’s wine newspaper, are different. They like to go out and attack, and they feel eager to compete with the ocean instead of becoming a trapped harbor fleet! They proudly declare that they are Germans and Germans are never afraid of war!
Shuttle back and forth through the narrow cabin passage of the main ship of the crew wearing dark-colored damaged pipes to sort out the damaged pipes, such as plugging plugs, plugging plates, plugging boxes, canvas ropes, cable-stayed frames, fire fighting systems, sandbags, etc., and put them in a convenient place; The watertight compartment is controlled by the central control system, and the pneumatic watertight door line, the longitudinal partition, the water injection fire pump, the sea valve and the ammunition depot are equipped with spraying equipment to eliminate gunpowder dust. The emergency water injection service status is also more important than the inspection of some infrequent compartments, and the communication doors of watertight doors are completely locked by experienced pipe damage team members. At the same time, the damage control team members have to number the flammable living things of the crew and sailors in detail and put them in a sealed fire compartment. The place where the hull paint is too thick is also ruthlessly "destroyed" by the damage control team members just because it may cause sparks.
The importance of pipe damage in a high-intensity naval battle cannot be overestimated, but although the air temperature in the North Sea is less than 1 degree, the narrow and dark warship aisle is so wet and hot that the crew members have to roll up their sleeves and then roll up to complete their mission.
The left and right eyepieces of the optical rangefinder of the command tower were gently wiped, and the telephone lines of the turret of the command tower were carefully checked; The turret is narrow, some gunners are moving their bodies to relieve their stiff muscles, and many technical officials are making a final inspection of the ammunition loading room with the rotating device driven by the main turret force of hundreds of tons. Several loaders are conducting simulation training on the shooting table, and the gas mask is seriously put on the neck. This is the experience of naval battle in Shazhou, Dogel. Although the turret has perfect ventilation equipment, it is still a big test to close the turret in high-intensity naval battle. If the turret is hit or the toxic gas generated by penetrating explosion can disintegrate the combat effectiveness of a large-caliber main gun without blowing off dust.
Coal-fired boilers can’t run at high speed for a long time. The technical officer in the engine room of the warship has planned to keep 23 boilers and 13 boilers. Even if the German capital ship runs at an economic speed, the voyage is generally 45 nautical miles, and the consumption of coal at high speed is amazing. Therefore, careful calculation to maximize the efficiency of limited coal burning is a compulsory course for every navigation officer of German warships. This German warship requires that coal should be burned as far away from the boiler bunker as possible and close to the boiler bunker until the final accident occurs. The number of coal consumed by warships at high speed is daunting. Due to the limitation of the number of engine room personnel, the boiler soldiers are understaffed in the war environment. When it is difficult, they will send coal to the boiler from the distant coal bunker. Therefore, the extra crew members of other departments of the ship have the right to reinforce this reinforcement. This reinforcement force must be planned before the war.
Ship medics began to pack medicine and surgical equipment and take a quick rest. Maybe they didn’t understand that the navy would think that the medic would be the most secure arm of a warship, but in fact, people imagined the opposite. Shrapnel flew across the deck to save the wounded and save lives in the sea of fire. The warship medics always danced with chains, death sickles and cold blades!
The staff officers of the captain of the command tower listened patiently to the reports of the heads of various departments on the state of preparation and waited for the flagship Luzov Charge.
At 15: 04, the frantic wind in the North Sea finally stopped, and the flagship flag gradually weakened. There was a faint white fog and a thick sea level. It seemed that some funny action war was brewing, which made the mood ferment more depressed and frustrated as it passed. The sailors were excited and excited, and gradually calmed down to return to the Germans.
"Betty won’t stay in Helgolan Bay for long. Sweeping the North Sea is Betty’s appetizer. His goal is five patrol stations of my first reconnaissance fleet. He will definitely find us in the north before sunset and put the battle line in a decisive battle at night. It’s not easy to control, but it’s a natural alliance of the British. As the battle distance draws closer, the defense advantage of our warships will be greatly reduced, and the British can give full play to their main gun caliber advantage."
By blocking the Baltic Sea, the flagship of the first reconnaissance fleet, the Luzov, patrolled a huge ship with a 35-mm main gun across the ocean. The majestic muzzle is facing Betty’s fleet, and there may be a series of instructions in the south, where Wang Haidi stays stuffy and stuffy.
"The British glaire School sent a destroyer of the first destroyer fleet to patrol the west side of the fleet and the Y sea area for one hour, so we can get at least 4 nautical miles of sight. Didn’t the Zeppelin have six Frederik FF-33 seaplanes with a battery life of more than 4 hours? There are still nearly two hours before sunset, so let them cooperate with the second destroyer fleet to search in the southeast and south for 50 minutes, so we can get 5 nautical miles of sight less, and it is enough to deploy the fourth reconnaissance fleet on the northwest side of Helgolan Bay close to the blockade of 100 nautical miles!"
Since the declaration of war on April 4, 1914, Wang Haidi’s judgment on the sea situation has rarely failed, and the accumulated temperament has made the otaku always cringe in previous lives, making him swear to let Betty go in and out of Helgolan Bay, ambush Betty on his way home and counter-kill Wang Haidi. He thinks that his plan is quite perfect, but there is always a little bit of ambiguity, and the sixth sense drifts outside the whole plan.
There is no chart in the newspaper office. The chart has portrayed Wang Haidi’s heart. The otaku can see the world’s oceans in March almost as soon as he closes his eyes. The situation in the jagged sea is not so wonderful. The inspiration has flashed through vice admiral’s muddled mind. Wang Haidi listened attentively, took a deep breath, relaxed his fist, and looked up slightly to try to find out the strange cause. Even the chief of the newspaper office failed to hear the pain.
"Commander Major General Sajt was in a hurry that the third reconnaissance fleet, the 2-nautical-mile defense circle of Helgolan Bay, was seriously injured by Betty’s fleet Bremen’s light patrol and sank the flagship Lubeck, and the Shiqeqing lost power!"
"Damn it, the third reconnaissance fleet is finished!" Bremen-class light patrol standard displacement is 3,756 tons. The thickness of the horizontal dome is about 25-3 mm, and the inclined dome is 5 mm. It is equipped with a single 15 main gun with a maximum speed of 23 knots. The standard displacement of Koenigsberg light patrol is 339 tons, the horizontal dome is 25-3 mm, the inclined dome is 5 mm, and it is equipped with a single 15mm main gun. The highest speed is calculated, and the performance of the dome cruiser is relatively excellent. The world light cruiser family also has a foothold. However, when there are three Bremen-class light cruisers, one Koenigsberg-class light patrol cruiser killer-with dozens of main guns with a diameter of more than 3mm and hundreds of medium-caliber support guns, its end can be imagined.
Because of the emperor’s stubbornness, Germany has invested a little less in the naval light force. Although the naval arms race was improved in the later stage, the Germans still lack modernization. The so-called first patrol fleet, the fifth and sixth reconnaissance fleets are all old goods that can make the lunch go home for the next century. Although the Bremen-class Koenigsberg-class light patrol is a naval warship seven years ago, every modern light patrol is precious to the Germans.
In order to know Betty’s fleet’s whereabouts, the Ocean Fleet carefully deployed the third reconnaissance fleet consisting of three Bremen-class and one Konigsberg-class ships, the sixth reconnaissance fleet consisting of four Colberg-class dome cruisers, and the seventh reconnaissance fleet consisting of a gazelle-class cruiser. The ninth and ninth destroyers led by a Nautilus-class cruiser did not want to be unlucky. It was the deputy commander of the third reconnaissance fleet, Major General Lewentzo, who supported the cold armored wall of the newspaper room that was really a little depressed.
"No!" Wang Haidi suddenly opened her eyes. Since the beginning of the naval battle in Shazhou, Dogel, she has been a little weak, and her face is pale. "Maybe I guessed the wrong direction!"
The second gun Chapter 14 Variations (2)
"The third German reconnaissance fleet is finished!" The maximum range of the main ship of the fast fleet at the location of three Bremen-class and one Konigsberg-class dome cruisers. Although the five main guns of the first round of the war patrol made great achievements, Major General Lampard still pitied the third reconnaissance fleet for reaching the death notice early. "This is a brilliant victory!"
"brilliant victory?" Commander David Betty put his binoculars in the tower and turned his head slightly surprised. The excitement was beyond words. Major General Lampard frowned vaguely and repeated it hesitantly.
Is it a glory to send ten fast capital ships south to sweep and sink four German dome cruisers? You must know that pride is the royal navy’s unified attack and the British navy’s creed "Rle－Brinni". The ocean has never been extinguished! You must know that the warships and famous soldiers in front of the British Empire are not counted! You must know that in 1991, the Far East participated in the rescue war. Lampard also dared to shout out, but he wanted to fight for defeat in the first world war. Now, the European War has only been going on for less than a year. It seems that the officers and men of Harriet’s fleet have already shouted the Battle of Helgolan Bay. They shelled German soil-Helgolan Bay Island will be the last swan song. Major General Lampard even unconsciously lowered the victory scale of the Royal Navy!
"The Third Reconnaissance Fleet should have sent out the information …" Major General Lampard was very happy with the poet’s romantic petty bourgeoisie style, unaware that David Betty, a marine cavalry, worried himself. "No matter whether the First Reconnaissance Fleet in West Lyme can stop us or not, we will make a steady profit!"
"Major-General, I can see that some valuable qualities of the Royal Navy are rapidly losing with the war …" David Betty tried to gently criticize Major-General Lampard’s hesitation, but a confidant interrupted Betty’s follow-up.
"Whether the first reconnaissance fleet in West Lyme can even stop us?" Betty lost Lampard and took a few steps to bend over and lie down on the commander’s tower. After a short while, she couldn’t help but burst out swearing "Emperor! Maybe we all underestimated each other’s tactical literacy! "
"Gentlemen, I think I should apologize to those who believe me!" Wang Haidi’s pale and rickety body is struggling to support the newspaper office.
Several of the most outstanding German fleet commanders suffered from depression and neurasthenia more or less due to work pressure. The decrease in the number of employees who took over from General hippel to the commander of the third battleship greatly reduced his illness. Heidi-Selim’s state was getting worse. After the naval battle in Shazhou, Dogel, the spirit was still not healed after the shoal shock. After the summary meeting, the preparations for the war in 1915, the normal training of the first reconnaissance fleet in the Baltic Sea, the plan for the surprise attack in Murderos Bay and the decisive battle in the North Sea, and the suspension of the naval political storm, he was overdrawn.
Unprecedented fatigue came, and that kind of dizziness made Wang Haidi have to cling to the corner of the platform to avoid belonging, causing irreparable losses. A fleet commander with more than 10,000 officers and men participating in the war, Wang Haidi, has an unshirkable responsibility for his officers and men. He can’t fall!
"We can’t continue to stay in Dogel Shoal. The first reconnaissance fleet will be sent to Jutland coastline immediately!"
Deputy Commander Lewentzo and Chief Staff Officer Ying glaire were first confused by Wang Haidi’s apology for no reason, and were preparing to ask about the export. vice admiral was shocked by his outspoken remarks. He planned to arrange troops for more than ten hours day and night, waiting for the attack of the third reconnaissance fleet. At this moment, the German fleet was bursting with confidence, but the campaign initiator temporarily changed the plan at this critical moment.
