Chapter 1124
Of course, there are more things that they can't think of. At this moment, the four German battleships led by Hipper have entered the Skagerrak Strait, and they are now less than 70 kilometers away from the British fleet!
”Release half of the seaplanes. I need to know the situation of the battlefield as soon as possible!” Hipper said anxiously. Just ten minutes ago, he received the news of the sinking of the Blücher.
”You know, what I hope most at this time is to find the Moore fleet that is blocking the door nearby, and beat them up! Believe me, if 4V4, I hope to end the battle within half an hour!” An angry Hipper said to the staff. However, there is a difference that after the British fleet discovered the Mochi, the Moor fleet, which was guarding near the Skagerrak Strait, directly chose to go north to intercept the Mochi.
Although the two Queen-class battleships behind him were thrown further and further by the Mochi, at first they could still see a shadow of the ship. Later, only a trace of blue smoke could be seen. In the end, the two Queen-class fast battleships Based on the information provided by the air reconnaissance and friendly forces, the general direction of the Mochi can be determined.
Through the alternate radio channel, the Mochi finally learned that the High Seas Fleet had arranged a response fleet, and determined that the distance between the two parties was about 220 kilometers, which is 120 nautical miles. Considering the relative navigation of the two sides, there would be two at most. You can meet in just a few hours, but at this moment, the watchman on the Mochi noticed that a fleet appeared to the southwest of him!
”It seems that you still have to pay some price if you want to go home.” Lefetsov looked at the ship shadow that gradually became clear in the distance. According to the intelligence reality, this should be the fleet that Thomas has never seen. In terms of scale, there are a total of 4 battleships! Before Hipper came, he had to hold on for at least an hour!
”Hold on for an hour in front of a main ship squadron and a light cruiser squadron. This is really challenging. But I like it!” Lefetsov was like a militant lion. ”Tell my brothers, if we are lucky, we might be able to take a British warship!”
”The fleet turns left at 3 compass points and is ready to pick up the enemy! At the same time, tell the other friendly forces our position and let them hurry up and support!” The British also saw the battlecruiser Mochi in the distance, and Major General Moore decisively issued a pick-up. Enemy orders. The German warship in the distance didn't seem to be appointed. The tower accelerated and then sailed westward, delaying the time when the two sides met.
”This is not good, right? Our 4 warships are enough to get the target.” An officer said.
”It's better to be careful. I'm always a little uneasy.” Moore said.
Through the backup frequency, the Mochi quickly informed Hipper of the position of the British fleet, and the lieutenant admiral who received the signal was as excited as a shark smelling a fishy smell. ”The fleet has increased to 28 knots! Let's meet the returning comrades, and teach the British a lesson!” Hipper commanded a victory. Of course, even the new Bavaria would never be able to run at 28 knots. This is just To boost morale.
