Chapter 2219： Encounter one (1/2)
”I saw the main force of the British fleet! The distribution of their formation is like this. Thomas' Queens are at the forefront. Not far behind is Hood's battlecruiser. The latter seems to be closer to Thomas and then Jericho. The large fleet, 21 battleships are there, they are arranged in a rectangular battleship, from north to south are the Vengeance-class battleships, the Iron Duke-class battleships, the Orion-class battleships, and two dreadnought squads.” One flew over the British fleet. The nearby German seaplane reported the British battle to the High Seas Fleet.
At the same time, several British seaplanes also flew near the high seas fleet. Although they were quickly destroyed, they still sent some telegrams before they were destroyed.
”The German painting is a bit strange? What do you mean?” Jericho frowned slightly when he looked at the last sentence in the telegram, but he obviously didn't have time to think about what the so-called strange painting meant before the battle. Focus on the formation of the German fleet.
is similar to the British fleet. It is also a fast fleet, forming an independent squadron, followed by a main fleet in a rectangular arrangement. What surprised Jericho was that before this decisive battle, Ruprecht did not give Hipper any strengthening! Just 4 battlecruisers alone.
”I really don’t know if you are self-confident or arrogant? But no matter what, we have gained a huge first-hand advantage! Can’t you think of it? When you didn’t strengthen the Hipper fleet, I put my last fast fleet And almost all of the aviation power was given to Thomas!” Admiral Jericho said with some pride in his heart.
Although Ruprecht is an enemy, in his heart, Admiral Jericho still has full respect for the man who created the Bavarian legend and pushed the German military to the top, and may not show it to outsiders. But now, he seems to have caught a very big loophole in the opponent! A sincere smile from the bottom of his heart appeared on Jericho's face.
”General, you seem very happy?” an officer said.
”Yes, I am very happy. Our enemy is clever, but he was confused at the most critical moment!” Jericho said with a smile: ”I think that at this moment, God is blinding the other side's eyes and will win. The laurel crown was worn on our heads.”
”Give Thomas an order. He now has the right to decide his actions. When the two fleets are close to a certain position, he can take the initiative to attack! First concentrate the firepower to kill the Hipper fleet, and then suppress the high seas fleet's course and speed!” Jie Rico ordered to send a report to Thomas!
”Order the fleet to speed up, send a report to General Hood behind, and let them follow us closely. Don't get too close to the monsters in Germany!” After receiving the telegram from Jericho, Thomas decisively ordered.
At this point, Thomas, who already knew the formation of the German fleet, had a general understanding of how the German fleet was deployed. It was nothing more than the Hipper fleet in front, and then the five battleship detachments of the main fleet were deployed in sequence, and from the perspective of position, 3 A Bavarian-class battleship detachment is clearly at the forefront.
