The change has been confirmed and the plan has been laid out, which not only means that the astronomical waves are omitted and the risks are unpredictable, but also is a disastrous blow to the image of the naval god of war and the morale of the officers and men of the fleet. In the 20-year-old naval service, Wang Haidi clearly knows the consequences of changing the policy, but he can’t choose. He is not the 21st century, and even my daughter is afraid to face the post-9 otaku!
"Betty’s third North Sea combat cruise chose to adopt the usual North Sea cruise route, and the opposite route, Jutland coastline investigation report, the southern trajectory of the big fleet, all of which seemed so seamless that I was fooled!"
"That is to say, the Germans mistakenly believe that we will go home in the middle of Beihai, and the main forces of the first reconnaissance fleet of the ocean fleet have all ambushed near the sandbar in Dogel?" Less than fifteen minutes after the indecent naval battle continued, two cruisers of the German Third Reconnaissance Fleet declared that they had sunk, and one of them lay motionless, and the other, the Szczecin, was still stubbornly standing. Major General Osmond Brock, chief of staff of the First World War Patrol Fleet, listened to David Betty, commander of the fast fleet, and his white face was covered with a trace of regret or happiness.
Betty Youzi charted something, marking several nodes and ambush points from time to time, and barely uttering a confirmation syllable in her dry throat. Major General Lampard looked up and looked at the flames. The rickety Lubeck patrolled close to Betty and asked, "Commander, are we still going home by Jutland?"
"What is not?" Betty straightened up and asked
"Commander, are you going to give up the plan of trapping and killing the first reconnaissance fleet?" Major General Lampard asked 1.
"Lampard, do you think I can see through the fog and Selim won’t guess?" Betty threw a pencil in her hand, threw her hands around her chest and glanced at Lang Lang in the direction of Dogel sandbar.
"I’ve always wondered …" Wang Haidi tried his best to support his body and gnashed his teeth. "Since the deployment of a camouflage intelligence ship in Norwegian waters can escape the sight of Betty’s fleet of light ships, it will be found that Betty lost contact with us before the team …"
"Betty never wanted to hide his course. He wanted to leave the two queen-level mysteries to be uncovered at last!" Kiel Naval Academy was born in Singlaire School, and he shook his head in an instant. "But this can prove that the British target is the first reconnaissance fleet. This does not mean that the British will take the Jutland line."
"No, this means Betty has realized that his change of tactics may be predicted by us. We intuitively imagine that the opposite side is Betty’s real route!" Wang Haidi put aside her mouth and showed a bleak smile, pointing out another flaw of the British people. "In fact, the south support of the big fleet has exposed the fact that it is an open secret that spies are planted in the anchorage of the main fleet of Germany and Britain. No matter how confident or careless the big fleet is, it is impossible to expose their course to us by mistake unless …"
"Unless the big fleet south is a sapporo!" Singer Lyle School is finally sincere this time, but there are always complaints and regrets. "General, we jumped in the wrong direction. It seems that the plan to intercept Betty’s first world war patrol fleet can be abandoned!"
Wang Haidi didn’t answer, but turned around and shouted to the telegraph operator in the newspaper room, "Order to send a telegram to the ships belonging to the fleet. The capital ship of the first reconnaissance fleet set sail to the northeast at a speed of 25 knots; After the second reconnaissance fleet of the first and second destroyers joined together, they reinforced the Zeppelin to the northeast, leaving Dogel Shazhou to recall the water plane; Notify Beihai Command to request the dispatch of not less than ten airships to survey Jutland coastline to find Betty’s first reconnaissance fleet; On the 3rd, General Boscher’s thoughts on the development of the situation in the North Sea deviated from the reconnaissance fleet and had to go to Jutland coastline to intercept Betty’s fleet and plead with the main fleet of the ocean fleet. "
The intelligence staff quickly recorded Wang Haidi’s orders. Wang Haidi picked up the pen and hesitated for a moment, then solemnly signed the words "Heidi-Selim".
The first reconnaissance fleet ambushed and set sail again, and the coastline of Asahi Delan ran at a high speed.
Chaos is almost inevitable because it takes less than half an hour for the first destroyer team and the second destroyer team to rejoin the south land when Wang Haidi’s order is issued; Zeppelin’s seaplane carrier is even worse. It is obviously a long talk that the seaplane is heavily equipped with a telegraph. So Zeppelin has to wait for the waterplane to return after more than an hour. On whether the first reconnaissance fleet can intercept Betty’s fleet, a modified waterplane carrier, is doomed to fail to participate in the war. It is about two hours’ flight from the first reconnaissance fleet. However, the officers and men of the ocean fleet re-entered the journey in silence. However, when Jed Bay vowed to go out, it was inevitable that the British could interfere with the naval god of war to judge that the war was worth fighting! "
"When did I become so headstrong?"
As time goes by, the nerves are weak and the pain is severe, and the darkness engulfs his eye pupil like a flood. Haidi almost fled back to the commander’s room in a mess, opened the iron cabinet, took out a medicine bottle and wolfed down a lot of sedatives for a long time before his pale face gradually became more flushed.
Countless victories, glory, sailors, middle-level officers love German newspapers, the propaganda department of the Imperial Empire beautifies, and a number of naval bosses have pushed Wang Haidi to the altar. The 37-year-old vice admiral Ocean Fleet’s essence-the commander of the first reconnaissance fleet can control the trend of the North Sea. For a naval power with a sound system, young people are full of glory, but they are over 50 years old, but the body is vegetarian, and the old man is hanging with the rank of lieutenant general.
Long before this naval battle, Wang Haidi dug up clues from the changes of the British navy and hit the nail on the head. Based on his self-confidence in Betty, the strategist made the boldest speculation on Betty’s fast fleet action. The navigation training in Portland Bay on the west side of the Orkney Islands was just a pretence and ambitious. The cruise route of the North Sea was not simply copied from the first two times, but sneaked into Helgolan Bay from Jutland coastline to sweep and lured the first reconnaissance fleet out of Helgolan Bay as much as possible, with the main fleet to meet the decisive battle in the middle of the North Sea.
The Germans have no reason to suspect that their naval genius has almost just received Wang Haidi’s pre-judgment report. General Schell hippel happily led the main attack of the ocean fleet before the admiralty’s command. Although he did not agree with Wang Haidi’s solo attack, Major General haneke was still willing to take political risks and patrol the Luzov Defringer out of the Baltic Sea blockade fleet establishment. Although the transfer of the general staff arrived late, Lei Deer has done his best
A series of actions by the Royal Navy in the early stage also proved that Wang Haidi predicted the energetic Count Luckner’s attack on the ship by the Seahawk, which proved that the so-called battle cruise in Portland Bay was just a joke of the aristocratic salon. The deployment of a camouflage intelligence ship in Norwegian waters confirmed that Betty played a variation on Caspar’s intelligence table. The third reconnaissance fleet was attacked due south, and it was the horn of the decisive battle in the North Sea in 1915. Everything seemed to be expected by naval strategists. Everyone thought that victory was easy to win!
However, the cooperation of Betty’s fleet made him see the flaw. Heidi Wang was surprised to find that Betty underestimated the tactical accomplishment of the other side and jumped in the wrong direction.
"Maybe I lost my way in the touting of the world, so it’s not too late!" Going it alone is destined to win, and it must not lose or be defeated, otherwise it will be temporarily at a disadvantage. William, the conservative emperor of the Admiralty, fought back fiercely! Thinking of loyalty and trust to the officers and men of his fleet, General hippel of Baotasher, and the old erich-Lei Deer who has devoted his future to him, Wang Haidi clenched his fist and firmly said, "If you don’t fight this war, you have to fight it!"
"In fact, I will create conditions for the West Lyme Fleet to stop me …" Betty smiled bitterly and laughed at herself. "Although my old friend is good at strategic deception, open and aboveboard schemes are his best!"
Major-General Lampard can’t pay attention to this mysterious and pessimistic Zen machine for the time being. Betty raised her head with the intelligence of the late Secretary of the Navy, the First Secretary of the Sea, and seemed to sense that her old friends were whispering dozens of nautical miles away. "You have to fight if you don’t fight this war!"
The second gun Chapter 14 Variations (3)
At 15: 05, I received the information from Lieutenant General Heidi Selim, commander of the First Reconnaissance Fleet. The atmosphere in the command tower of the flagship frederick the great of the Ocean Fleet was somewhat depressing.
"West lime this child is how to return a responsibility? ! Changing the plan is not German style! "
The report that the Third Reconnaissance Fleet was attacked and suffered heavy losses made it furious to lead 17 capital ships out to sea and kill the Quartet Schell. Heidi Selim temporarily changed the battle plan and even set fire to General Schell’s fiery temper. Unlike the British, the Germans have an unimaginable pursuit of time and discipline. Even though the sea is always full of twists and turns, the stuffy German staff still like to record and freeze all possible figures before the war.
The brand-new leather boots commander tower wandered around and kept popping up a few meaningless syllables from time to time in his throat. The commander-in-chief of the militant ocean fleet, Reinhard Schell, tangled him with the weather-beaten face of professional soldiers. "Since it will be a mistake in the first time, is it a repeat of the same mistakes this time? Perhaps it is this futile turn-back that David Betty’s fast fleet is passing them beautifully!"
Wang Haidi’s second newspaper explained in detail the reasons for changing the plan. Everyone tended to judge Wang Haidi, but Scheer made it unpredictable with a rhetorical question. Good deputy commander hippel spoke up as the most outstanding tactical commander of the navy. He was calm and wise, and he didn’t get a hollow reputation.
"Since you choose to believe that this young man will not hesitate to challenge the Imperial Emperor of the Navy Staff to go it alone, you will always believe in it! There is a saying in Selim that this naval decisive battle is not only urgently needed by us, but also the last straw of the stormy Royal Navy. This naval battle has to be fought without fighting! "
In a sense, it is more suitable for a captain to take the lead than a fleet commander. However, Schell is not incompetent after all, but he is obsessed with Muller, the minister of the Navy Pavilion. He is a simple professional soldier. He knows that if he correctly chooses the impatient commander-in-chief and sinks his heart, he will read Wang Haidi’s newspaper again. From those words, he can see that there is bound to be a great naval battle. He finally grinned and nodded.
"How far are we from the British fast fleet?" Scheer asked close to the long table chart.
"According to the report of the Third Reconnaissance Fleet, we are about 7 nautical miles away from the British Fast Fleet." The fleet staff officer pointed to the chart at two o’clock without thinking.
Schell regarded hippel’s surprised eyes thoughtfully and took the pencil chart of the chief staff officer of the fleet and cut out a black line leading to the Sko Gerakl Strait. "Even if we chase the British fast fleet quickly, it’s still a long talk. Since Selim is confident to catch Betty’s fast fleet and our ocean fleet is stronger than Jellicoe’s big fleet, we might as well go straight to Sko Gerakl Strait by copying their rear route!"
The staff of the command tower gasped in succession. General Schell was bold and bold, and he felt his sparse head. Lang concluded, "Haha, I call this an offensive response!"
"If the Germans want to ambush us, the north side of Dogel sandbar will be their best ambush position, so it is speculated that the first reconnaissance fleet in West Lyme is about 30 nautical miles away from us in the north-west direction. If the maximum range of the main gun is about 24 miles, it will be more than an hour’s actual voyage." The glorious royal navy for hundreds of years is not a hollow reputation. Betty’s fleet staff officers quickly finalized the general position of the main force of the German ocean fleet, the chief of staff of the first reconnaissance fleet. Major General Osmond Brock bent over the chart with a pencil and listed a list of data. "The main force of the ocean fleet can’t get away from the south side of Dogel sandbar. This sea area is about ten nautical miles away from us, that is, four hours away."
"How many nautical miles is the fleet of Major General Osmond Brock from us?" Betty’s line of sight gradually shifted from Helgolan Bay all the way north to Ska Gerakl Strait at the top of Jutland coastline.
"15 nautical miles!"
"Well, make sure that the highest speed West Lyme Fleet can bite me, and the highest speed is generally less than 22 knots. The main force of the ocean fleet keeps its distance …" The commander tower regained its silence and looked forward to watching David Betty, who was destined to become a great man in the post-Nelson era. He tapped his fingers on the long table and stopped suddenly. Betty slowly put on white gloves and relaxed. "I was told that the coastline of Jutland was dyed with the sunset in the North Sea, and the red cliffs were rare scenery in the Atlantic Ocean. I thought it was time to take a picturesque place to eat appetizers.
"Command the first world war patrol fleet to turn to the northeast with a speed of 23 knots. The second world war patrol fleet will continue, and the speed will be 23 knots after half an hour; Send a message to Jellicoe to ask the big fleet to go to the Ska Gerakl Strait to meet the fast fleet! "
Betty’s command really made Major General Osmond Brock shine at the moment. It was a wonderful number, which not only made the highest speed West Lyme fleet react, but also made the slow-moving ocean fleet adapt.
At 16: 00 p.m. on March 3, it is a foregone conclusion to March into Jutland coastline, but the former First World War Patrol Fleet still needs to solve the German Third Reconnaissance Fleet.
The Bremen and Danzig cruised the British lightly. In the previous rounds, the main shells disappeared in the rain. The Lubeck lost its power, and the smoke and fire almost enveloped other buildings. No one would doubt the fate of his ammunition depot. There seems to be a light patrol of the Third Reconnaissance Fleet. Poseidon took care of the ship. It was incredibly lucky. The British did not hesitate to become the main gun. They were stubborn for ten minutes. Of course, the light patrol of the ship could not save the ship. At 16: 12, the light patrol of the ship sank due to the explosion of the ammunition depot. The first world war patrol fleet finally turned to the coastline of Asahi and Jutland, which shocked the world. There was no way to avoid the naval battle in Jutland.
16: 15 Commander Tower of Iron Duke, the flagship of the North Sea Central Fleet
"We are more than 2 nautical miles away from Scarborough Gerakl Strait. If we don’t start as soon as possible, we will meet the fast fleet! The commander has no time to think about it! "
The middle of the North and South Seas of the big fleet really interfered with the Germans’ sight. It can be said that whether it is the ocean fleet Betty’s fast fleet with a voyage of 70 nautical miles or the big fleet, its fast fleet with a voyage of more than 130 nautical miles is not satisfactory. It is an indisputable fact that the fast fleet with ten capital ships has the ability to strangle the first reconnaissance fleet, but it is also an indisputable fact that German warships have strong productivity. Therefore, once the fast fleet is entangled in the first reconnaissance fleet and the ocean fleet arrives again, the consequences are unimaginable. Jellicoe should go to the ScarGerakl Strait to meet it.
However, things always have two sides. Although it is hard to say, Jellicoe has to admit that the main force of his big fleet is not the German opponent. In March, the British returned to France and Germany to have an upright and fearful battle. Jellicoe hesitated. He was afraid that the British Empire would lose the most money after a gamble, and even the cover pants would not be left.
"Go to the Scarborough Gerakl Strait to meet!" The British Isles insulted the navy, and Betty urged the cautious Jellicoe to make up his mind. The command tower was jubilant. For hundreds of years, people who have been used to taking the initiative to attack the royal navy were complacent about Jellicoe’s painstaking efforts and worries. Jellicoe shook his head and walked out of the command tower with a wry smile and tried to look at the east with the west setting sun behind him. "I wish the emperor could be on our side!"
The first reconnaissance fleet quickly broke out of Dogel sandbar at a speed of 25 knots and entered the periphery of Helgolan Bay, and the speed increased by 26 knots.
It is a remarkable achievement for a steel giant ship with a displacement of over 10,000 tons to run out of the ocean at a speed of 26 knots. Rao is that the wind and waves in the North Sea are gradually slowing down, and the momentum is still magnificent after the waves are split, and the broken white water flowers are easily patrolled, and the flat deck of the low bow is flying to form a light mist.
Before the first reconnaissance fleet set sail, the third reconnaissance fleet, Bremen and Danzig, had sunk, and the flagship Lubeck was losing power. The Szczeqing kept some fighting power. Haidi asked the Szczeqing to move closer to the first reconnaissance fleet, but the news was just sent out, and the Szczeqing light patrol union interrupted four light cruises, and the lives of more than 1,000 sailors fell like a mountain. The first reconnaissance fleet was alone on the coast of Jutland, and five auxiliary ships were left behind to join the destroyers.
At 17: 23, it was bleak and the setting sun hung on the sea and sky in the west. It was half an hour away from sunset and one hour more away from night. In the early spring of the North Sea, I liked to chase warships, and the birds disappeared and soared. There were only three or two seagulls. Only ten warships were immersed in revenge and killing, and the soft light poured down. The steel warships were quietly coated with a layer of color more unique than the filter.
It is not easy for German sailors to observe the sea surface with a high-powered telescope on the mast observation tower platform. Although they sailed to the sun, the light was parallel and soft, and the scattered light was not quiet, the sea level made the sailors’ sight open all the way, but the British also had this advantage. Finding the enemy earlier enabled the fleet to seize the favorable attack position and became an observer’s duty-bound mission.
Long-term observation made Blauge’s eyes tired. He made a sign to his colleague and waited for his colleague to take his place before he put on the telescope. Blauertz narrowed his head and narrowed his eyes to relieve the fatigue of his eyes and straightened his collar and tried to exchange it for a little passing temperature. At this time, the colleague who had just handed over pointed to the starboard side and issued an exclamation.
"Report to the Commander Tower that a British warship has been discovered!"
Three or two shadows were found in the halo of well-trained colleagues. On the 3rd, the large ships of the ocean fleet were almost more than 21,000 yards from they nest, and a large warship was found at a distance of 11 nautical miles. This is suspected to be the British capital ship!
It’s hard for ordinary people to imagine that Wang Haidi, the planner of this decisive battle in the North Sea, not only risked his life and personal future, but also had to bear tens of thousands of rebellious officers and soldiers in the future. More importantly, the advantages of British man-made ships were not fully exerted in the first half of 1915, and the number of capital ships of the big fleet of the ocean fleet was not large. This was the most favorable opportunity and the last chance to defeat the big fleet!
An hour and a half later, the first reconnaissance fleet ran for nearly 4 nautical miles, but still failed to find Betty’s fast fleet. Wang Haidi had reason to trust his judgment, but after all, he had made a mistake once!
"General, David Betty’s fast fleet is found at 21 yards starboard!" Fleet chief staff officer singer Lyle school breaking in excited way
The second gun Chapter 15 Jutland Jutland! (1)
Five capital ships of the First Reconnaissance Fleet were lined up by Wang Haidi to drive at high speed to the northern edge of Helgolan Bay. The flagship Luzov, the first ship, Defringer, Sedlitz, the second ship, and the third ship’s performance was slightly inferior to that of Mao Qi and Germany, but for the tail of the team.
Luzov, Devlinger, and Cedritz are all post-Cedritz fast main ships, with high hit rate. It is the practice of great naval warfare to form a cross-shooting, catching and killing as much as possible. There is no doubt that the post-Cedritz patrol opponents are the flagship of the British Lion, the Royal Princess and the Tiger. The 35 mm waterline patrol with the main armor thickness is obviously visible. Even the British main gun with a size of 343 mm may not be able to bite the anti-mining high explosives. Germany 3550.
Although the Mao Qi has five main turrets, the diagonal layout allows it to flank four main guns with 27 mm waterline and 25 mm main turret armor. It is easy to swim in front of the enemy-level patrol equipped with 12-inch 35 mm main guns, and it is obviously lacking in confidence. Although the German patrol is widely defined in battle cruiser, the German Admiralty is keen to protect naval designers from tears, and British colleagues stubbornly regard it as the "Ultimate blucher", a formidable 35 mm main gun. Let the Germans disdain the 25mm waterline with the highest speed of the main armor. In addition to short legs, in a sense, the German patrol is more like a German capital ship with British descent. Therefore, Wang Haidi’s Mao Qi German patrol will stay in the end, and their opponents will be those two enemy-class battleships. Perhaps there are two Queen Elizabeth-class fast battleships. In the end, Wang Haidi obviously overestimated the protection theory of these two capital ships and could not escape the "slag". This evaluation shows that the enemy-class patrol is not Mao Qi, and the German opponent, Queen Elizabeth, is war-weary, although it
"It’s like a guessing game. The winning or losing bet is a country’s centenary national luck!"
Jutland Jutland! One hundred nautical miles away is Jutland coastline, which used to be a place where the ocean fleet fought bloody battles. Tens of thousands of German soldiers fought to the death in exchange for "the German fleet attacked it and kept it in prison, but it was still in prison". One hundred nautical miles away is the coastline of Jutland, which is the dream of crossing the former dog blood otaku for several nights, thinking about white clothes fluttering, dreaming about the golden horse and dreaming about the vanilla beauty Jutland! One hundred nautical miles away is the Jutland coastline. Wang Haidi’s past life has become desolate. Historical memories have slightly deviated from the trajectory of the traveler’s history, but this is still not enough!
"If you don’t fight this war, you have to fight!" In order to protect the lovely daughter, protect the cornflower in front of Hathaway’s grave, and protect those who love or can’t bear emotional fatigue, Haidi secretly vowed to break the David-Betty fast fleet and break the royal navy’s frog-like long-distance blockade!
The North Sea is no longer strong, but it is cold enough. The sea breeze bypasses Singer’s leaning against the door and blows in obliquely. It has been doped with flawless personal friendship for more than ten years. Two people who are facing each other and destined to win or lose in this corner of the North Sea feel tragic and cold. Wang Haidi’s head is still groggy and his face is covered with morbid blush. However, an inexplicable idea of trying to finish the battle is like a glycol poison occupying the otaku’s heart and making him panic!
