Under the guidance of the seaplane, the first wave of "Thunder" high-speed boats ordered to attack quickly found the British fast fleet on the sea surface. The so-called fast and absolute speed was only slightly higher than 20 knots, which was simply not worth mentioning in front of the "Sea Assassin" with a speed of more than 40 knots.

Seeing that this British fleet consisted of multiple battle patrols, equipped patrols and more than 20 light ships, it was magnificent and had a strict formation, many German crew members were still amazed. Before setting off, the combat information they received from the officers was not complete, and they were not sure how much impact this British fleet would have on their main fleet and the overall situation of this naval battle. However, since they chose to join the high-speed battleship force, they were ready to take risks. These German youths pursued excitement and longed for honor, but not everyone ignored life. The sea surface in front of them was clear and the sea conditions were in good condition. The British fleet could organize shooting calmly and weave a dense defensive firepower network on the offensive road of the German torpedo boat group.

With a strong enemy in front of the enemy, the German navy's combat elites finally started an attack without hesitation. The "Thunder" was divided into two teams. Under the leadership of the command boat, one team launched an assault from the front and the other team went to the east sea, which was the left-wing movement of the British fleet, and rushed to the rear of the British fleet in a long way. The tactical intention of attacking from the beginning to the end was very clear.

Faced with the German high-speed warships, the long-range shooting of large-caliber artillery is tantamount to shooting flies by rifles. Whether it can hit the target depends entirely on luck. Conserving ammunition is obviously not within the priority scope of British commanders. Three battlecruisers fire early, and the 12-inch main gun fires alternately at a faster speed, which not only warms up for subsequent battles, but also shocks the enemy in front of you.

Shortly after the rumbling cannon sounded, four gray aircraft appeared in the direction of the German high-speed torpedo boats. Their flying postures made people feel like seagulls that were overeating, slow, clumsy, and lazy. It was a bit difficult to catch up with the high-speed battleships galloping on the water. They were seen flying slowly towards the British fleet, hovering calmly, and slowly turned to the position facing the starboard side of the British fleet, lowering the height, and then swaying the wings lightly, forcing the British fleet at strange pace.

Faced with these German carrier-based aircraft flying on the ground and air, the British fleet opened fire. On the three huge battle cruisers, the officers and soldiers did not personally experience the Jutland Naval Battle, but they must have heard of the combat encounters of the Betty fleet from their companions. They knew that the torpedo thrown by German aircraft were not very powerful and did not pose any threat to new battleships, but were enough to blow through the weak armor of the battle patrol and ordinary cruisers. This was a big trouble that must be guarded against.

The main gun fired shrapnel, the secondary gun fired ordinary singles, and the machine guns fired continuously. The fierce artillery fire of the British fleet dyed the sea red. Not long after, they actually shot a German aircraft, which was the first time. However, the other three German aircraft did not give up the attack because of this. They were only flying between the shells and the water columns stirred by the shells, and bravely flew to a position only hundreds of meters away from the British fleet before dropping the torpedo.

Seeing the white trail of torpedoes appearing on the sea, many British crew members were panicked. They turned the weapon that had originally fired at the German plane to the sea and tried to explode the torpedoes before they approached. Although this idea is possible, there is little chance, and instead let go of the slow-climbing German carrier-based aircraft.

Taking advantage of the British fleet's busy dealing with the torpedo attacks of German aircraft, the 12 "thunders" that launched attacks directly from the British fleet, shot straight from the front of the British fleet like prismatic arrows. They soared to a speed of nearly 40 knots on the sea. Many British warships exposed their long side to them due to the steering. Unfortunately, the German pilots had a clear lack of grasp of the timing. If they launched the attack a few minutes later, they could achieve better cover and restraint effects.

Avoiding the three torpedoes dropped by German carrier-based aircraft, the British fleet immediately turned its attention to the rapidly approaching German high-speed torpedo boats. The dense artillery fire caused a strange forest to grow on the flat sea surface, and water columns of all sizes were like strange white plants, covering the German torpedo boats.

Under such fierce bombardment, German warships began to be damaged and withdraw from the attack. The other warships carefully avoided their companions who were withdrawing from the stall and continued to advance in artillery fire. When they were still six or seven thousand meters away from the British fleet, dense bombs suddenly fell on the sea surface. Three British combat patrols and two armored cruisers adjusted to the full-side volley position. The main and secondary guns on the ship entered a crazy shooting state again, and used the traditional killer to deal with cluster targets: shrapnel.

In a blink of an eye, two "thunders" were injured one after another, and one of them even had a terrible explosion. Four torpedoes and more than 200 kilograms of strong explosives, and the amazing power instantly crushed the small battleship into powder. In this case, the two crew members must have no bones left.

The fire density and intensity of the British fleet exceeded the Germans' expectations. In the next few minutes, three more thunders were damaged. As a result, before the torpedo range was entered, the "Thunder" battleship team had been damaged by more than half, and even the command boat was unfortunately defeated.

If it were any other country's torpedo boat troops, they would have no belief to continue moving forward after suffering such a heavy blow. The reason why German soldiers were the best soldiers in the world is their amazing resilience and endurance. This character was particularly prominent in the Prussian era and the Second Empire. Before the war exhausted people's enthusiasm and destroyed people's beliefs, many troops really fought to the last one...

Good organization, long-term running-in, and firm will, these factors allow the remaining five German high-speed warships to work closely together as a team. The warships sailing in the forefront automatically replace the command boat. In order to avoid the entire army of himself and his companions, the young soldier Yusef Hege decided to adjust his offensive strategy. He turned on the guidance signal light at the stern, then drove the boat left to avoid the area where the British fleet's firepower was the most concentrated. He drove thousands of people to the northwest at full speed.

Mi, Hege observed the enemy situation. The British fleet's artillery intensity did not decrease, but the adjustment and viewing speed of the large-caliber naval guns were obviously unable to keep up with the high-speed moving target. In this case, Hege turned right and took the four high-speed battleships behind to circumnavigate towards the tail of the British fleet. In the following time, Hege and his companions did not rush to attack, but kept fine-tuning their courses, maintaining combat contact from afar or near, waiting for another team of high-speed torpedo boats to enter the attack.

The five German high-speed warships in front of them were four or five thousand meters away. With their amazing sprint speed, once they turned and rushed, they could enter the torpedo range in just two minutes. The British officers and soldiers did not dare to neglect and continued to bombard them with fierce and dense artillery fire. However, in the following time, they never made a new hit, and the battlefield situation changed rapidly. The stalemate between the two sides was like walking on the tip of a knife, each bearing huge risks.

Seeing that the attack of the friendly boat group was unfavorable, another German high-speed battleship group composed of 11 "Thunders" also temporarily adjusted its combat strategy. They turned halfway and rushed to the middle of the British fleet at full speed. Faced with the new threat, three British combat patrols and two armored cruisers had to turn most of their main guns to the other direction and use shrapnel to block the attackers. What's bad is that in the era of artificial machinery, the heavy turrets were slower and it would take a long time to determine the new sighting parameters. When they were ready, the group of "Thunders" suddenly rushed to the vicinity.

As soon as the British fleet's firepower weakened, the five "Thunder" battleships dancing on the tip of the knife turned decisively. They rushed into the torpedo range regardless of their own and successively launched torpedoes at a distance of 2,000 to 1,600 meters.

Each "Thunder" was equipped with four light torpedoes, and dense white tracks appeared on the sea surface. At this time, British ships could only avoid these light torpedoes with a large range of rapid maneuvers, and the threat on the other side was suddenly increasing with time. So, these British warships turned and fired, and almost every gun was firing. However, as the ship itself moved rapidly, not only could the shooting accuracy be guaranteed, but also caused accidental injuries to the friend ships.

On the sea, a thrilling life-and-death battle is still underway. Two gray aircraft carrying torpedoes are flying towards the battlefield in the sky. In the distance, three large torpedo boats are racing towards the battlefield with more than 20 high-speed combat boats...

A moment later, five torpedoes shot by the "Thunder" bravely rushed into the sea where the British fleet was located. Most British ships had avoided it, but the armored cruiser "Roxbahler County" and its two escort destroyers were still trapped in it. Seeing torpedoes flying past nearby, many British crew members simply closed their eyes and prayed, but the explosion they were extremely reluctant to hear still sounded. The destroyer "Phoenix" blocked a sure-fire torpedo for "Roxbahler County". Just half a minute later, "Roxbahler County" still could not escape the fate of being hit. A torpedo hit its starboard side, and the explosion broke a big hole in the waterline armor belt. Even if there was no danger of sinking, its combat capability would be greatly affected.

As the British fleet dispersed its formation, the 11 "Thunders" on the other side suffered much less resistance. Seven of them eventually entered the torpedo range and had the opportunity to advance to a more threatening position. Five "Thunders" projected torpedoes at a distance of about 1,500 meters. One was close to 1,000 meters, and one was extremely brave enough to rush to a position about 800 meters away from a British battle patrol. However, before it could launch the torpedo, it was hit by artillery fire, which instantly triggered a violent explosion.

Faced with the torpedoes that were striking on the sea, the British fleet once again danced in groups. The captains of the main battleship tried to find a safe track for the warship through their own judgment. The officers of the escort ship had to show the courage to sacrifice themselves. They were closely guarding the main battleship near them and were ready to "block the gun" at any time.
