"Your Excellency, Commander, we used one light cruiser detachment and five destroyer detachments to launch lightning strikes on the two German battle lines at the same time. With such a high-density attack, no matter how powerful the German battle line firepower It will definitely be broken through. At that time, their formation will become messy, and the battle line will naturally disintegrate. We can use this opportunity to break out of the encirclement of the Germans. If we are lucky, we may be able to attack Sink some of the German capital ships." Vice Admiral David Beatty said.
Although, the main guns of those small and medium-sized warships did not pose any threat at all to the powerful capital ships of the German Navy. However, the heavy torpedoes they carried were deadly to the capital ships of the German Navy. After all, the power of a 533mm heavy torpedo is quite amazing. As long as it is hit, even the capital ship with the strongest defense of the German Navy will definitely not be able to hold it.
In order to protect the colonies scattered all over the world, Britain has built many long-range and fast cruisers. When the war was about to break out, the British Navy also quickly built a large number of destroyers. In order to reverse the unfavorable situation once there is a chance to launch a lightning strike when the battle situation is unfavorable. Of course, it is almost impossible to simply rely on lightning strikes to defeat the already dominant German navy. But if you are lucky and play a certain role, there should be no problem. Besides, now is the critical juncture of escaping, so naturally he must do everything possible and do his best.
John? Admiral Jellicoe nodded, adopted David? Beatty Lieutenant General's suggestion. The large fleet has a total of 4 light cruiser formations and 14 destroyer formations, with 24 light cruisers and 84 destroyers. These small and medium-sized warships have already lost a lot under the attack of the battlecruisers of the German Navy. But because of the large number of relationships, it can still play a great role.
"Send a telegram to the light cruisers and destroyers, asking them to launch lightning strikes in ten minutes. It would be best if they can sink some battleships or battlecruisers of the German Navy." Admiral John Jellicoe ordered .
In order to break through the siege of the German navy and escape, Admiral John Jellicoe planned to sacrifice these small and medium warships. After all, compared to expensive battleships, those light cruisers and destroyers are relatively cheap. In addition, the construction period for these small and medium-sized warships is also very short. Even if they are lost, they can be replenished soon, so there is nothing to feel bad about.
"Yes, General!" Lieutenant General David Betty nodded. He also agreed with the idea of sacrificing those small and medium-sized warships and keeping the capital ships. After all, capital ships are the most important. Everything else can be discarded.
When the telegram from Admiral John Jellicoe was sent to the light cruisers and destroyers, the officers and soldiers of the Royal Navy felt uncomfortable. Although, it is their honor and their duty to die for the Royal Navy of the British Empire. However, no one will face death calmly. It's just that the officers and soldiers of the Royal Navy are of first-class quality. They understand better, what is the bounden duty of a soldier? So, no one refuses to carry out the order.
Ten minutes later, the operation of the British Navy began. The remaining eight capital ships have further increased their speed. They forced draft the boilers to increase power and speed. Although, such behavior is undesirable, and it is impossible to persist for a long time. However, this is undoubtedly their only chance to escape quickly, so they must be treated with caution.
At the same time, the light cruisers and destroyers of the British Navy rushed towards the two battle lines of the German Navy. Most of those light cruisers and destroyers are fast battleships that can increase their speed to over 30 knots. Even the two battle lines of the German Navy are fifteen kilometers away from the main fleet of the British Navy. However, in front of these small and medium-sized warships, the distance of fifteen kilometers only takes more than ten minutes.
The actions of the British Navy were learned by the German Navy as soon as it was launched. They also know very well what the British are doing.
"So many light warships of the British, are they finally going to launch an attack? Order all ships to stop attacking the British capital ships, and attack those light warships with all their strength. Light cruisers and destroyers, assist the capital ships to resist the British's lightning strikes!" Lai Admiral Inhart Scheer decisively issued an order. Although, abandoning the bombardment of the capital ships of the British Navy will undoubtedly give them a breathing space. But compared to the threat of the British light warships that are close at hand, it is undoubtedly extremely correct to temporarily let the British capital ships go.
"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander." The communications officer immediately conveyed Admiral Reinhard Scheer's order to every warship of the German Navy.
Battleships and battlecruisers one by one began to turn their main guns, aiming at the light cruisers and destroyers that were approaching fast, and ignored the British battleships. The light cruisers and destroyers of the German Navy also quickly interspersed into the battlefield from the gaps between the battle lines. They are like bodyguards, on one side of the battle line, resisting the attack of the British small and medium warships. At the same time, the main guns on these light cruisers and destroyers were also firing crazily. Although the caliber of the main guns of light cruisers and destroyers is relatively small, they can also pose a deadly threat to British light cruisers and destroyers.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The large-caliber main guns of the capital ships of the German Navy fired continuously, and heavy artillery shells exploded on the sea, splashing jets of water into the sky.
The light cruisers and destroyers of the British Navy walked through the artillery fire of the German Navy. They need to narrow the distance to within two kilometers before launching a lightning strike, so as to ensure that the torpedoes launched can pose a threat to the capital ships of the German Navy. Of course, if possible, the closer the distance, the better. However, in that case, the danger will naturally be higher. After all, the closer the distance, the German Navy's shelling hit rate will continue to increase.
Walking through the intensive artillery fire of the German navy, this made many officers and soldiers of the British navy look a little pale. After all, for these small and medium-sized warships, once they are hit, especially by shells from large-caliber main guns, they are dead!
