"Your Excellency Commander, we used one Light Cruiser squadron and five destroyer squadrons to launch lightning strikes on the two battle lines of the Germany people at the same time. With such a high-density strike, no matter how powerful the firepower of the Germany people's battle lines is, they will definitely be broken through. By then, their The queue became messy, and the battle line naturally collapsed. We can use this opportunity to break out of the Germany people's encirclement, and maybe we can sink some Germany people's Capital Ships." David? Vice Admiral Beatty said.
Although, the main guns of those small and medium-sized battleships do not pose any threat to the powerful Capital Ships of German Navy. However, the Heavy Torpedo they carry is fatal to German Navy and Capital Ships. After all, the power of 533mm Heavy Torpedo is quite astonishing. As long as it is hit, even Capital Ships, which has the strongest defense, German Navy, will definitely not be able to withstand it.
Britain In order to protect the colonies scattered around the world, many cruisers with long range and high speed were built. When the war was about to break out, British Navy also quickly built a large number of destroyers. The purpose is to have the opportunity to launch a lightning strike once the battle situation is unfavorable, thus reversing the unfavorable situation. Of course, it is almost impossible to simply rely on lightning strikes to defeat German Navy, which has a complete advantage. But if you're lucky and it plays a certain role, there should be no problem. Besides, now is the critical moment to escape, so naturally we have to do everything possible and try our best.
John? Admiral Jellicoe nodded and adopted David? Vice Admiral Beatty's suggestion. Grand Fleet has a total of 4 Light Cruiser formations and 14 destroyer formations, with 24 Light Cruiser and 84 destroyers. These small and medium-sized warships have already suffered a lot of losses under the attack of German Navy and Battlecruiser. But because of the large number, it can still play a great role.
"Send Telegram to each Light Cruiser and destroyers, and let them launch lightning strikes in ten minutes. If you can sink some German Navy battleship or Battlecruiser, that would be the best." John? Admiral Jellicoe ordered.
In order to break through the siege of German Navy and escape, John? Admiral Jellicoe planned to sacrifice these small and medium-sized warships. After all, compared to the expensive Capital Ships, those Light Cruiser and destroyers are relatively cheap. In addition, the construction period for building these small and medium-sized warships is also very short. Even if they are lost, they can be replenished quickly, so there is nothing to feel bad about.
"Yes, general!" David? Vice Admiral Beatty nodded. He also agreed with the idea of sacrificing those small and medium-sized warships to save Capital Ships. After all, Capital Ships is the most important. Everything else can be discarded.
When the Telegram of John? Admiral Jellicoe were sent to all Light Cruiser and destroyers, the officers and soldiers of those Royal Navy felt very uncomfortable. Although it is their honor and their duty to sacrifice their lives for the Royal Navy of the British Empire. However, no one will face death calmly. However, the quality of the officers and soldiers of Royal Navy is first-rate. They understand better, what is the bounden duty of soldiers? Therefore, no one refused to carry out the order.
Ten minutes later, British Navy's action began. The remaining eight Capital Ships further increased their speed. They forced ventilation of the boilers to increase power and speed. Although, such behavior is undesirable and it is impossible to persist for long. However, this is undoubtedly their only chance to escape quickly, so they must treat it with caution.
At the same time, British Navy's Light Cruiser and destroyers rushed towards the two battle lines of German Navy. Most of those Light Cruiser and destroyers are fast battleships that can increase their speed to more than thirty knots. Even the two battle lines of German Navy are a full fifteen kilometers away from British Navy's Capital Ships team. However, in front of these small and medium-sized warships, the distance of fifteen kilometers only takes more than ten minutes.
British Navy's actions were known to German Navy as soon as it started. They also know very well what the Britain people are going to do.
"Britain people have so many light warships, are they finally going to launch an attack? Order all ships to stop attacking Britain people Capital Ships, and attack those light warships with all their strength. Light Cruiser and destroyers, assist Capital Ships in resisting the lightning strikes of Britain people!" Admiral Reinhard? Scheer gave the order decisively. Although, giving up the bombardment of British Navy's Capital Ships will undoubtedly give them a chance to breathe. But compared with the threat of the Britain people's light battleships that are very close at hand, it is undoubtedly extremely correct for Capital Ships to temporarily let go of the Britain people.
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander." Communications Officer immediately conveyed the order of Admiral Reinhard? Scheer to every German Navy warship.
One by one, the Battleship and Battlecruiser began to turn their main guns, aiming at the Light Cruiser and destroyers that were running quickly, and no longer paid attention to the Battleship of the Britain people. German Navy, Light Cruiser and destroyers also quickly entered the battlefield from the gaps between the battle lines. They were like bodyguards, standing on one side of the battle line, resisting the attack of the Britain people's small and medium-sized warships. At the same time, the main guns on these Light Cruiser and destroyers were also firing wildly. Although the main guns of Light Cruiser and destroyers have relatively small calibers, they can also pose a fatal threat to Britain's Light Cruiser and destroyers.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The large-caliber main gun of German Navy's Capital Ships fired continuously, and the heavy artillery shells exploded on the sea, splashing water columns into the sky.
British Navy's Light Cruiser and the destroyer were walking through the gunfire of German Navy. They need to close the distance to within two kilometers before launching a lightning strike. Only in this way can they ensure that the launched Torpedo can pose a threat to the Capital Ships of German Navy. Of course, if possible, the closer the distance, the better. However, in that case, the risk will naturally be higher. After all, the closer the distance, the German Navy's artillery hit rate will continue to improve.
Walking through the dense artillery fire of German Navy, this made many British Navy officers and soldiers look a little pale. After all, for these small and medium-sized warships, once they are hit, especially if they are hit by a shell from a large-caliber main gun, they will be dead!
