When the main fleet was attacked, Brigadier General Pachner, who commanded Prince Eugen, was still very calm. He could not help being calm. Because of the light problem, he could not see the specific position of the French fleet... If you can't see it, then it's a shame! Although the brigadier wanted to help the earl of Spai very much, but under the current circumstances, it is really difficult to make a shot.
Then the Brigadier General quickly calculated the current situation in his mind. He did not have a destroyer in his hand. If he wanted to light up or release a flare, he would soon be exposed. The French hid very well. The lighting is based on the background or the searchlight of the destroyer. The main fleet is always hidden in the dark, and there is almost no other light source except the muzzle fire, which makes the brigadier very difficult...
Although the situation of the Earl’s fleet is critical, the brigadier general still suppressed his fighting spirit in the uncertain situation. Then he began to sail quietly in the direction of the French fleet.
”The French fleet is about 8000 meters away from us at 11 o'clock, and the speed should be about 15 knots. They did not find us.” An officer on the side whispered to the general.
”Very good, we turn left 2 more compass points, and then turn northeast, to their non-war side.” Brigadier General Pachner said after a moment of contemplation. ”Raise the speed to 22 knots! Find their flagship!”
So, the fast battleship Prinz Eugen made a circle behind the French fleet and walked to the other side of the opponent. Then, the background light source and the French fleet's muzzle fire light to confirm the identity of the opponent. While maneuvering, the Brigadier General was surprised to find that on the opposite side, the French did not have a destroyer to cover! This is great news for the lonely Prince Eugen, don’t worry about being stabbed!
As time passed by, Pachner did not dare to wait endlessly. After all, the main fleet lives like a year, and every minute has huge risks. You can find opportunities by yourself, but if the opportunities are really bad If you look for it, you should go there too!
”Prepare for range measurement. If there is no turnaround within five minutes, target the opponent's first battleship and fire!” Just after the order was issued, the situation changed. After the Earl's fleet turned, in order to ensure the continued attack, the French fleet Also began to turn, and in order to ensure a smooth steering, a series of signal lights were shot on the mast of the flagship French, and the officers and soldiers on the Prinz Eugen were surprised to find that at this time, the distance between the flagship and itself was shortened to less than 6000 meters. ! And just when the French kept sending light signals. The rangefinder of the Prince Eugen quickly measured the distance and position of the opponent!
The 88 artillery on the sidestring of the Prince Eugen lifted its muzzle slightly, and the battleship began to gradually control its speed and orientation. Under the cover of darkness, the Prince Eugen was like a tiger about to go. Staring at the blinking signal light not far away!
