He dried up the profound.
He and we have opened up the ultimate road to the world! "
At 4: 51 a.m. on 23rd, 1914, Dogel Shazhou in the south of Beihai.
Light cruisers, destroyers and submarines from the direction of Harwich Harbor are arranged in three linear phalanxes. While the sea fog can’t be dissolved, one after another quickly passes through the Dogel Shoal, without hesitation, heading for the depths of Helgolan Bay, dubbed by British fishermen as the Dragon Pool and Tiger Cave. The number is dazzling and magnificent enough to make the captain of that small fishing boat have a boiling passion.
"Wow" Abraham Xianlin class light cruiser D type L destroyer E submarine! Haha, it seems that the Harriet fleet and submarine detachment stationed in Harriet Harbor are finally going to take revenge! " The old captain obviously knows a lot about Chinese warships. He narrowed his eyes and reported every ship from him through the model and name of the warship. The old captain enjoyed showing off. He was shocked that there were still a few big ships in the more distant waters. Even through the thick sea fog, he could clearly see that the captain of the fishing boat experienced that they were at least 20 thousand tons.
"Son, that’s the big fleet. Damn it, the big fleet is finally out!" The old captain was obviously bullied by the Germans during this period. He jumped up and down with excitement and clenched his fists and cheered. "The Satan apostle Heidi Selim put an end to the era of German ships’ reckless pursuit of British fishing boats. Gone are the two tragedies and hatred in the Dover Strait and the Dogel sandbar. This time we must get it back together with interest! Haha, German ghosts will definitely regret provoking a battlefield war! "
The signal flag and signal light were lost in the sea fog, so an old D destroyer broke away from the large formation and came over. The young British sailors put up their loudspeakers and shouted to the small fishing boat
"This sea area has become a war zone, please return to Hong Kong as soon as possible!"
"Dad, let’s go home …"
"If you don’t go back, I want the big fleet here to come back victorious!" Young Roy seems to be afraid of the old captain’s anger and patted Roy on the back, shaking his head firmly. "I want to witness with my own eyes that our fleet tore the poor self-esteem of the Germans, making Helgolan Bay an ocean fleet and making the vast and rich North Sea our fish pond!"
"Damn it, the night shift is really torture …" Watchtower German sailors yawned and complained to his companions.
"The West Lyme School warned that the British would take revenge in the near future, which made us always vigilant." The companion nodded and said, "It’s not that I don’t believe the commander. How many days have passed? It is said that the British ghost hasn’t come yet …"
At 5: 05 on 23rd, 1914, the last breath of the night, four night-duty destroyers (g192g193g194g195 respectively) of the second detachment of the first sea patrol fleet escorted the light cruiser Cologne back to Hong Kong, and the fog was thick. The officers and men of the observation posts of Helgolan Island were more or less lax and careless. The sailors didn’t know that it was only 1.5 nautical miles away from them. Three British submarines were desperately raiding in the east sea, and they just passed by death.
At 5: 14, Brigadier General Reginald Tyrwhitt’s Harriet fleet consisted of four cruisers, thirty-two destroyers, Brigadier General Jed Case’s third submarine detachment, and Brigadier General William Goodnow’s first light cruiser squadron, six Burham-class light cruisers. Taking advantage of the fog in Helgolan Bay, the German airship and aircraft rose to avoid the outermost defense line of Helgolan Bay, and the warning fleet successfully lurked to the scheduled location in the northwest of Helgolan Island.
Britain’s "miscellaneous brand" attack fleet has considerable strength. The temporary commander Brigadier General Tyrwhitt has a total of 1 cruiser, 32 destroyers and 3 submarines, as well as five capital ships of David Betty’s first battle cruiser fleet. According to the intelligence of the British Admiralty and the investigation of the specific strength of Heidi-Sillem defense circle command by Jed Case submarine detachment, Brigadier General Tyrwhitt has "known it like the back of his hand".
Heidi-West Lyme Defense Command has 16 destroyers, two minesweeper detachments, 14 minesweepers, the first U-shaped submarine fleet, 9 submarines (led by the Hamburg light cruiser) and 4 light cruisers attached to the command (Major General Leib Li Xite-Maas, the second reconnaissance fleet, transferred troops from Cologne, Mainz, Strasbourg, As far as the paper data is concerned, Brigadier General Tyrwhitt is suspected of occupying the advantage of quantity and quality, and Heidi Selim’s warships are not in the right place. Except for two light cruisers, Mainz and Strasbourg, and several patrol boats returning to Hong Kong, most of his troops are scattered in the vast Helgolan Bay.
The British war plan is quite bold. The three submarines of Brigadier General Jed Case’s submarine detachment will take the bait and be responsible for attracting the defense forces near Helgolan Island into the encirclement formed by Harriet’s fleet and the first cruiser squadron. William Blunt reconnaissance cruisers Terror and the second, 3 destroyer detachment was in charge of dealing with German light ships, while Tyrwhitt commanded the Xianlin light cruiser to deal with German cruisers two nautical miles behind the seven light cruisers, while Jones led the Explorer light cruiser and the first destroyer detachment to outflank and try to encircle the German fleet David Betty, the first battle cruiser sub-fleet, and fell to the last distance to attack the fleet for 20 nautical miles. It was not David Betty who was afraid of death, but Secretary of the Navy Churchill. Hill, Minister of the First Sea, Jellicoe, Commander of the Grand Fleet, and Brigadier General Reginald Tyrwhitt, the temporary commander of the attack fleet, have been demanding the facts. David Betty is brave and brave. Everyone knows everything about the British navy. From the Nile River to the Far East, David Betty has always been a leader. Although he is not lacking in strategy, people’s impression of his courage and bravery has been deeply rooted. Everyone is afraid that David Betty will be hot-headed and join the fray to make the First battle cruiser Sub-fleet suffer losses.
In the early period of World War I, there was not much difference in the naval strength between Germany and Britain. Any mistake on both sides could lead to the collapse of the situation. In this tense and stalemate period, the negative thought of protecting the ship and protecting the people was not only popular in the German Admiralty, but also very proud of the Royal Admiralty.
At 5: 45, three submarines of the third submarine detachment shared the bait. They were eager to fight. Jed Case led the first drive into the depths of Helgolan Bay and marched to the East. Jed Case was far from the ambition of the Crusaders in those days, but a tragic psychological road that I would not go to hell. Thirty minutes passed, and Brigadier General Jed Case ran wildly. Almost 30 meters of red cliffs hanging on Helgolan Island in the North Sea could be seen in the periscope, but even a small German fishing boat was not seen in this long journey of several nautical miles. Bait bait There is no predator to bait the Jed-Keyes submarine. It is in a hurry in the narrow cabin. Helgolan Bay is the hinterland of the ocean fleet. There are many guns. If you are not careful, everyone may ruin this dangerous sea area!
Brigadier General Jed Keyes can bury Heidi Sealem’s slack defense while eagerly expecting a daredevil to crash in.
Real Jed Case wronged the otaku. When Jed Case ran like a doomsday flower, four cruisers of the second detachment of the first sea patrol fleet escorted the handover and returned to Hong Kong in a hurry. The German fleet failed to find the British submarine. On the contrary, the British submarine soldiers were anxious and failed to find the German destroyer. Both sides passed by through the sea fog.
At 6: 24, Brigadier General Jed Case still couldn’t find anything that could be called a hunter, so he decided to cross the rubicon and made a decision that made the British who were overwhelmed by the ocean fleet in 1916-1917 stunned-the submarine floated to Helgolan Island and fired!

The third chapter naval battle in the fog (4)
Otaku had a long dream, in which there was a little girlfriend crying in her previous life, Catherine felt dejected and Anne fell in love for a lifetime; In the dream, President Lao Lai Xie respected and taught Erpitz to suppress his confidants Auden and Lei Deer mercilessly, and there were still 19 years of peak satisfaction and the end of the winter in 1912; In the dream, mother Hathaway warned her father Fresi that she was sorry for her son before she died, and her daughter Avril Lavigne was frolicking with sand sculptures on the beach.
Suddenly, a boom gun came to my ears, and even the glass windows shook. Several people ran around the beach and shouted at the beach. Avril Lavigne turned around and covered her delicate and lovely ears. Blood oozed from her fingers and she dyed her white dress red.
"no! Avril Lavigne! " Wang Haidi looked up from her desk full of chart documents, and her forehead was covered with cold sweat. She was in shock. "Fortunately, this is a nightmare … but … the gun seems to be real!"
The office door was knocked open, and Lieutenant Lauren and Lieutenant Shearer came in panting, pointing to the northwest and panicked. "The first Englishman called!"
"panic an egg!" Years of experience in martial arts made Wang Haidi calm down instantly. He burst into swearing and grabbed his military uniform coat while walking towards the office door and asked his staff about the specific situation.
"Three British submarines took advantage of the night to cross our blockade and lurk in the northwest waters of Helgolan Island. They fired at the coastal highlands in the northwest corner of Helgolan Island. One logistics warehouse was hit, and the losses are still being counted." Wang Haidi’s calm demeanor appeased the flustered psychosomatic staff officer of Laurence. He picked up some important information and said, "The coastal artillery units of Helgolan Island fired back, but the sight was not good. The three British submarines have retreated to the northwest. Major Mikron, the captain of the Cologne, has led the Cologne and the first sea patrol fleet.
"Who let them go after? ！” Is about to step into the door of the operations room, Wang Haidi missed stopping, and his eyes were sharp and sharp. The pale face of all the young staff officers in the operations room swept away and he was furious. "Can’t you see the lure of the enemy into such a trap?" ！”
Captain Lauren blushed instantly and faltered. I didn’t know what to say. Haidi knew that it was not the time to investigate the responsibility. He gave Lauren a hard look and blurted out several instructions. "Lieutenant Shearer ordered to report to the Ocean Fleet Command that the number of British attack fleets was not found in the northwest waters of Helgolan Island. The second detachment of the first sea patrol fleet of our command had no casualties of their ships; Send a message to General hippel’s First Reconnaissance Fleet to abandon the plan A. Our defense headquarters tried to entangle the enemy; Send a message to the Second Reconnaissance Fleet of General Bu Li Xite-Mas to ask for the support of the Second Cruiser Squadron from the Hewan (Helgolan Bay) Defense Command. "
Lieutenant Shearer walked non-stop to the newspaper room. Wang Haidi was full of arrogance and ordered a few heads. With a wave of his hand, he said, "Go to the dock!"
At 6: 23, four destroyers of the first sea patrol fleet, the Cologne, just returned to the dock, and the boiler was not turned off yet. After hearing the guns coming from the coastal highlands, Major Mikron consulted the staff on duty at the headquarters and decided to attack quickly and try to annihilate the three daring submarines.
At 6: 29, the Cologne light patrol and four destroyers of the second detachment re-left the port, and launched a search formation in Helgolan Bay. The momentum of the roast chicken and the knife rushed at the three desperate submarines to see that the pursuit fleet was about to catch up with the three British E-submarines that were sailing on the water. When the British submarine suddenly made an emergency dive, it had to give up the pursuit after searching for a while in the dense fog.
At 6: 49, William Blunt reconnaissance cruiser Terror and 22 destroyers of the 2nd and 3rd destroyer detachments broke through the sea fog and descended on the fleet that was about to turn around and return to pursue.
Mikron realized that they had been ambushed by the British, so he sent a telegram to Hewan headquarters for help while commanding the fleet to retreat. However, the way back was blocked. Jones led the Explorer light cruiser and a destroyer detachment from Hedao to intercept the pursuit fleet, so the prey turned into a large-scale hunter group, and the pursuit fleet was reduced to an escape fleet. The fog in Hewan and the twilight played life and death.
A small-scale artillery battle began in the face of the British, such as Lin Guns, Major Mikron, and led him with great fear. The Corvette Cologne rushed out from the diagonal and sacrificed himself to save the world. In front of the armored destroyer, he tried to cover the second team to break through.
It’s hard for the prey to hook up with the British. Where is William Blunt’s school willing to let go? Calling for friends, screaming, entangled and fighting, and retreating? The German fleet shouted and killed the latest L-type destroyer and the old D-type destroyer. The 76-mm and 47-mm shells were like Kiel’s torrential rain in June, which spilled the G-192 and G-193 destroyers to the second detachment, and were instantly smashed into a sieve by the British. The 600-ton steel hull of the G-192 destroyer was almost completely caught in the fire. The bow of the ship G-193 was hit by a 76 mm shell and tore open. After more than three meters of seawater surged in, it began to overturn.
The second detachment of the British destroyer was weak, and the British terrorist and Explorer cruised lightly one-on-one only to lose one. Both the terrorist and Explorer cruised lightly in 1994. The old-fashioned third-class reconnaissance cruiser had a full displacement of less than 3,000 tons, and the main gun was only 76 mm, while the Cologne cruiser belonged to the klbery class cruiser with a full displacement of 44 tons, and its main gun was 15 mm, and its firepower was always earth and it adhered to the style of German weapons-the first-class defense force. The Cologne soon found the British cruiser everywhere.
At 7: 32, the boiler of the light cruiser Mainz, which was on duty at Helgolan Island Wharf, was half burned, and it was ready to start at any time. However, the light cruisers Strasbourg and Stralsund and the first and fourth detachments of the first sea patrol fleet, the destroyers and the third detachment of the second sea patrol fleet, and the five lightning strike ships also started to make an emergency boiler fire to raise steam. Although the commander of the light cruiser Mainz, Wang Haidi, a tower house man, was in a hurry, but the surface was light and the wind was light, waiting patiently for the support fleet to be completed.
Ever since the otaku Wang Haidi became commander of the defense circle in Hewan and was determined to build an offensive defense circle, the otaku expected the British to retaliate brutally and bloody, but left a gorgeous loophole, hoping that the British could take the initiative to deliver the door. Considering the possible risks, he seconded a light cruiser squadron to the second reconnaissance fleet to strongly encourage Lieutenant General hippel and his first reconnaissance fleet to leave Jed River to station in Jed Bay to strengthen his chips.
Wang Haidi didn’t underestimate the strength of the British, but he obviously overestimated his own advantages. A foggy weather and Captain Lauren’s recklessness disrupted all his plans. Now the second detachment of the first sea patrol fleet and the cruiser Cologne have been surrounded by the British, and the British are definitely more than that. Airships are almost impossible to row submarines in this ghost weather. Although they have the reputation of being a water killer, otaku is not suitable for group battles. They can hope that the second reconnaissance fleet of hippel General battle cruiser and Major General Li Xite Mas can act decisively.
"The commander’s military emergency is not a way to simply prepare a ship and drive it out …" Lieutenant Shearer suggested.
"Stupid!" The otaku Wang Haidi rudely scolded me impatiently and explained, "The British tried to eat our Hewan defense circle, adopted refueling tactics, and then they were smashed by the British one by one and gradually eroded. If they missed the main force, last stand had to be dragged to the main force of the ocean fleet at least!"
"Commander, except for the V-117 lightning strike ship, the support fleet has been completed!" The captain of the cruiser Mainz hurried in.
The captain’s voice did not fall. The vice captain of Mainz rushed in with red eyes and said sadly, "Major Mitterrand came … Lieutenant Frank Bailey, captain of the G-193, sank with the ship!"
Wang Haidi put his fist in his trouser pocket unconsciously, and the tightening force was greater than the tendency of spasm. He took a deep breath and shouted with all his strength, "Raise the flagship flag and go!"
"The Navy Department is in a hurry!" The emperor’s attendants rushed in and forcibly interrupted the army war situation analysis meeting being held at Charlottenburg Palace. "The British fleet shamefully attacked us on Helgolan Island. Heidi-Selim School has led all the warships belonging to Hewan Command into naval battle!"
On April 4, the Imperial Army crossed the Belgian border, and on September 9, Belgium fell and the Belgian French army was driven back to France. On January 21, the Imperial Army attacked the French in northern France in five ways. The Emperor’s military adviser and army general staff officer Yun Palace was in high spirits, and the Emperor explained the ground battle situation in detail.
"What? ！” The emperor William, who had just returned to Germany for a rainbow offensive, changed his face. He couldn’t help but get up and hold the corner of the table in the sand table for almost the first time.
"Tell General Ingenohl not to order the ocean fleet to attack!"
"It is reported that General hippel’s first reconnaissance fleet has set out to ensure that in case of loss, he has mobilized the 1st and 2nd Battleship Squadrons of the Ocean Fleet to participate in the battle and have to send arrows!" The attendants answered cadence.
"Who ordered? ！” Self-proclaimed protector of the high seas fleet, Kaiser Wilhelm, was trembling with anger by the Admiralty. He growled sullenly
"It’s … it’s Marshal Al Fresi von Erpitz, the Imperial Minister of the Navy!"
On the morning of March 23rd, 1914, Jellicoe will cruise back to the North Sea with the first Battleship Squadron of the big fleet, and Jellicoe will be keenly aware that the main force of David Betty’s first battle cruiser sub-fleet has disappeared as soon as he sets foot in Scarpa Bay.
"Madden, what is this?" Jellicoe slightly sulked to his chief of staff, Major General Charles Madden, and asked.
The commander-in-chief of the big fleet set sail without his permission. General Jellicoe felt that his power was greatly insulted.
"On February 2nd, the Secretary of the Navy Winston Churchill, the Secretary of the First Sea Hill and the Chief of Staff of the Navy, Lieutenant General Frederic Studdy, made a plan to sneak attack on Helgolan Island and encircle the defense circle fleet of Heidi-Silemkh Island. Harriet Fleet and Lieutenant General David Betty, the main force of the first cruiser squadron, were responsible for the support." Major General Charles Madden was so poor that he only listened to Nuo Nuo. "David Betty said that this was top secret action’s tactical information that was not urgently needed for this cruise, and this operation did not need to mobilize the main force of the big fleet.
"This bear child! Since the Admiralty has decided to carry out the surprise attack plan and the sneak attack forces are mostly light ships, how can I stop him from attacking? " Jellicoe was dumbfounded by David Betty Xiaocong and didn’t feel how serious the situation was. But when Jellicoe was about to finish reading the incredibly rough raid plan of the Admiralty, the veteran who had been drifting in the sea for decades was shocked by that kind of relaxation.
"It’s impossible that Churchill is a civilian. He doesn’t know tactics and military affairs. It’s just that he is impatient to keep his precarious position as temporary chief of staff of the navy in the face of accusations from the public and newspapers. I also understand how experienced Marshal Hill can agree to this simple, rude and flawed plan. This is not a joke about the big fleet! "
"General … Marshal Hill has resigned …"
