Chapter 280: Sunset and Jutland (Part I)


s: I have something to do today, so I can’t update twice.

German Ocean Fleet flagship "Bavaria".

The sight of six British battleships being torpedoed one after another was also noticed by the Germans on the opposite side.

The chief staff officer of the fleet, Raeder, immediately shouted excitedly: "Your Excellency, Admiral Scheer, that is our submarine.

Our submarine has arrived.

This must be them launching a lightning strike against the British fleet."

This plan to "encircle and annihilate the British Home Fleet" can be said to have been promoted by Redel.

It is impossible to say that he is not nervous.

The air force's attack time was earlier, but it only severely damaged the fast fleet, and the main force of the local fleet did not receive a blow at all.

Therefore, in the main decisive battle just now, although the German fleet achieved great results, it also suffered great losses.

Although the British army's artillery fire hit rate was lower, they had more pipes and larger calibers, so a single hit would be fatal.

Even if the British armor-piercing bullets are not very powerful, it is only relatively speaking.

A few more rounds can be fatal.

Due to its position just now, the German flagship "Bavaria" in position 1 was besieged by the Revenge and the Royal Oak.

There is obviously no advantage when 12 390mm main guns face 20 381mm main guns.

By now, the Bavaria had been hit in many places, half of the superstructure was smashed, the secondary battery and anti-aircraft gun on the right side were almost completely destroyed, and the No. 2 and No. 3 main battery turrets were also hit and muted.

It was extremely miserable.

If it weren't for the German ships' habit of focusing on defense and the inability of British armor-piercing bombs, they might have fallen to their knees.

Of course, the Bavaria's precise gunfire also crippled the Royal Oak directly opposite, and was releasing smoke to escape the battlefield, but the other opponent, the Revenge, was fine, and it would definitely suffer if it continued to pinch it.

The submarine force that was supposed to arrive as planned has yet to make any move, and the second wave of the Air Force's fleet is still on the way and will not arrive until half an hour later.

You must know that although the German army seems to have greater results now, it has not yet gained any advantage.

Compared with the British Royal Navy, it is not a vegetarian.

It is very possible to say that a comeback is possible.

If at this critical node the battle was lost because the attack could not be continued, the German Navy would be doomed.

As the main planner of this plan, classmate Redel will definitely become Germany's eternal sinner.

When he thought about these serious consequences, he almost exploded with anxiety.

But now it's finally over.

The submarine force finally arrived and severely damaged at least five of the opponent's battleships.

Reidel finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Admiral Scheer was also very nervous just now.

Without his strong support, this plan would definitely not be passed.

If he loses, he will definitely be a sinner through the ages.

But at this time, he pretended to be calm and nodded, and said with a reserved look: "Well, it seems that's true.

The gentlemen of the submarine force did a good job."

As he said this, he took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands.

He squeezed it tightly just now because of nervousness.

His fists were broken, and his nails pricked his palms.

After seeing their own submarines participating in the battle and crippling several British battleships, the morale of the German officers and soldiers was immediately boosted, and the speed of firing seemed to be a little faster.

Opposite them were the British officers and soldiers, who were shocked, angry, and at the same time extremely panicked.

This is like when two teams of armored knights are having an equal duel, but one of them is fucked by a group of wretched thieves from behind.

This feeling should not be too sour.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom" At this time, the second wave of torpedoes from Chinese submarines arrived.

More than a dozen dull explosions were heard from the British battle line.

This time, six battleships including the Emperor of India were hit by mines.

"Hahahaha, a total of 12 battleships were hit, which is enough.

Retreat quickly."

After seeing that the second wave of attacks was effective, Han Fengyu immediately issued a retreat order.

Because at this time, several British destroyers seemed to have discovered them and were approaching at full speed.

If you don’t leave now, then when will you wait?

"Captain, we're leaving now," Captain Yan Daoren said depressedly.

He hasn't had enough yet.

"We should stop firing the torpedoes from the No. 5 and No. 6 launch tubes and then attack directly without using the wires."

Han Fengyu said with a face: "Don't be nagging, hurry up and execute the order to save the torpedoes in the No. 5 and No. 6 launch tubes to deal with emergencies.

This time we are just supporting roles, don't steal the spotlight from the protagonist.

We are here to help, but You can't get yourself involved just to help.

Besides, the German submarine has already arrived."

"Hey, well, this kind of opportunity to fight a battleship will probably be difficult to come by in the future."

Yan Daoren shook his head regretfully and carried out the order.

Although he could still attack for one more round, Han Fengyu did not dare to take risks.

After all, they are far overseas now.

It would be very troublesome if the submarine was sunk or damaged, and it would be even worse if their identity was exposed.

So he must leave immediately, which is what his superiors have repeatedly emphasized.

Besides, their main mission is to "make gold", and fighting battleships is just a part-time job.

The six Chinese submarines immediately retracted their periscopes, quickly dived to a depth of 60 meters, turned around and left at a maximum speed of 23 knots.

At this moment, as many as thirty periscopes began to rise on the nearby sea.

These were the real German submarines.

In fact, Han Fengyu and the others had discovered them a long time ago.

During the previous voyage, they were no more than 2 kilometers away from these German submarines.

It was not until they received the attack order that they accelerated to overtake them.

The Chinese submarines took advantage and escaped, but they trapped these German submarines.

British destroyers searching for submarines soon discovered these snorkels and periscopes sticking out of the water.

The furious destroyers immediately regarded these submarines as the "culprits".

They fired at the location of the periscope and rushed over as hard as they could.

The German submarine was stunned.

Damn it, are all the destroyers of the British guys gods?

The labor force has just arrived.

I haven’t even brushed my teeth yet, and I was discovered by Nima.

This is too much, isn’t it?

The targeted submarines immediately dived down in a hurry and changed their positions.

But there were a lot of German submarines arriving at this time, and Scheer tried his best this time and summoned all the nearby submarines.

There are now 33 ships arriving, but only eight British destroyers can catch up.

The most important thing is that these submarines are not in the same direction, because they arrive from different areas and are widely spread out.

The British destroyers could care about one end but not the other, and they couldn't stop them at all.

Of course, the German submarines also paid a price.

One submarine was targeted by two destroyers.

It dived too slowly and was directly destroyed.

The other two ships were also injured and lost the ability to dive, so they desperately tried their best.

They fired torpedoes at the destroyers attacking them, and at the same time, the crew also used deck guns to fight these destroyers.

When the destroyers and those unlucky guys were fighting, the submarines that were not targeted got the opportunity.

They charged towards the battle line at full speed like death, and those who were closer were already preparing for lightning strikes.

It was obvious that these German submarines were in trouble for Han Fengyu and the others.

This is also the reason why Han Fengyu just ordered to run away immediately.

Someone is coming to top the tank, why don't you run away?

Because the Chinese submarine has sonar, but the German submarine does not, the Chinese submarine is completely aware of the location of its German counterpart, but the German submarine is completely unaware.

This is not surprising.

Although sonar was invented ten years ago in 1906, the product at this time was not mature at all and there was no possibility of being put on a ship.

In the original time and space, it was not until the 1920s that simple hydrophones were installed on warships.

As for sonar being installed on submarines, that would have to wait until World War II.

Of course, Mr.

Wen, who was active, is not an example of this.

All Chinese submarines have sonar, passive sonar arrays on the side, active sonar on the bow, and towed sonar, all of which are computer-assisted.

The result of this unequal intelligence is the current typical "white dog eats meat, black dog gets beaten."

Han Fengyu and the others walked away with their mouths full of oil, but the German submarine was facing the furious British destroyer.

However, the German submarines were not in vain.

After paying the price of three submarines being sunk, the other 26 submarines successfully reached the launching position and fired a salvo of torpedoes at the British battleships. . 156 550mm submarine-launched torpedoes pounced on the British warship at a high speed of 53 knots.

At this time, the British battleships were already on guard, and specially sent lookouts to monitor the surrounding sea.

Moreover, German torpedoes were also direct-sailing torpedoes, and their hit rate was much worse than that of Chinese torpedoes.

But even so, eleven capital ships were still hit by torpedoes.

There's nothing I can do about it, their positions are so cool, they're neatly arranged in a row, and it's not easy to miss them.

The most important thing is that the British battleships did not care about maintaining the battle line in order to avoid torpedoes.

The entire British battle line suddenly became chaotic, and the German army just seized the opportunity to pour artillery shells on these panicked opponents.

Just as the British destroyers were desperately chasing German submarines, another small German fleet appeared northeast of the British battle line.

This fleet consisted of two cruisers and six destroyers.

They charged towards the British battle line at a speed of 33 knots.

This is the lightning strike fleet sent by the German army to conduct a roundabout, headed by the two heavy mine-equipped cruisers, the Kitakami and the Ooi, uh, wrong, it is the Pillao and the Elbin.

They led six 1914-class lightning strike ships, a reduced version of the Shimakaze class, which were sent out by Scheer before the decisive battle, preparing to give the British battleships a blast when the decisive battle was in progress.

They also arrived at this time.

The number of British destroyers was originally insufficient, and because the chasing submarines dispersed quickly, they could not stop the fleet that was outflanking from behind.

They could only watch them rush towards the battle line.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang" These professional torpedo ships launched a grand torpedo salvo at a distance of 13 kilometers from the British battle line.

The Pillao class, also known as the modified Kitakami class, has 40 600mm torpedo tubes.

The 1914 class had 15 600 mm torpedo tubes.

This salvo fired 170 heavy anti-ship torpedoes.

This lightning strike fleet finished firing the torpedoes and ran away at the highest speed:
