Where is the first reconnaissance group willing to give up this excellent opportunity? It doesn’t need Heidi Selim to wake up the flagship of the first reconnaissance group, the mackensen, and then the fire was ordered. Three Macpherson-class battle cruiser ships fired one after another. 3 mm large-caliber armor-piercing bullets were capped, and soon a terrible barrage was formed around the Canadian battleship.
Perhaps it was because the first reconnaissance group, which had the strongest fighting capacity in the German ocean fleet, failed to harvest its opponents because of its poor performance in the siege of the Canada.
"Entertainment Show" The German First Reconnaissance Group repeatedly missed the opportunity. At this time, more than four ships of the British First Battleship and the Fourth World Patrol Fleet, four battleships of the second Battleship Team, more than four ships of the German First Reconnaissance Group, one Bavarian-class, four Helgolan-class and four sā-class battleships of the first Battleship Team could not bear loneliness and their main guns joined the melee.
In this melee, the target of the remaining ships of the German First Reconnaissance Group is the damaged British First Battleship, and the target of the German First Battleship is the loosely formed British Second Battleship, while the British are caught in the fire of two main fleets to attack the weakest link in the Great Wall of Steel of the German Ocean Fleet, the first unit.
As a matter of fact, Betty had already given up the capital ship when the Germans fired the battleship Canada. In this naval battle, David Betty was led by the nose by Selim. He keenly grasped Heidi Selim’s only mistake and made a desperate choice to fire four battleships with 300 mm main equipment and sā class.
History has proved that Betty’s second Battleship Team’s second unit is almost undefended and it is worthwhile to gamble on the sea.
At 12: 04, the Canadian was hit by a fire again. The battleship spread everywhere, and smoke columns rose for thousands of feet and more than ten kilometers, which could be seen by foreign ships.
No one will question the tragic ending of this battleship, but the battleship Canada was shot at the same moment, and Germany took the sā class battleship, and the third ship, the Rhineland, was shot and sank. To be continued.

"("The King of the North Atlantic "Section 6 Mistakes and Counterattacks)
At present, there are still many people who think that the sea battle in the Orkney Islands is high. It is the German herringbone head that Britain turned to death. However, it seems to us Shi Haijun experts who study sea battles that the most colorful part of the sea battle in the Orkney Islands has just begun.
At 12: 32, two steel fleets crossed the eastern vertex of England and Scotland and chased along the southern coastline of the peninsula towards the northern edge of Firth Bay.
The second round of exchange of fire was supposed to break out later, but the shooting of the battleship British Canada disrupted the German navy’s plan.
The ocean fleet strictly followed the orders of their naval god of war Heidi Selim to pursue the first reconnaissance group. Three mackensen-class patrol boats persistently encircled and seriously injured the Canadian First Reconnaissance Fleet, and his five patrol boats suppressed and mopped up their respective main guns, which had already been disabled by the British First Battleship and the Fourth Patrol Boat.
Then, the first and third battleships in Germany and the second and fourth battleships in Britain successively exchanged fire, and the battle broke out before the final battle.
At that time, Heidi Selim decided to take it for granted. Although the German battle line formation needs to be adjusted to a certain extent, it may not be impossible to complete this process in a specific naval battle. The ocean fleet has no reason to fear that it has been crippled. The British First Battleship Fleet and the Fourth Patrol Fleet let go of the door to eat their prey.
In the new century, the myth and admiration of a generation of naval star Heidi Selim has weakened, and many admirers of David Betty have even lashed out at Selim, arguing that Heidi Selim’s mistake in this round of engagement led to the ocean fleet’s failure to take the absolute lead in the second round of battle line decisive battle, which led to the ocean fleet encountering the American battleship detachment on the way back.
Selim once said that David Betty was an opponent worthy of respect and attention. We also deny that David Betty dared to say rudely in the Royal Navy that Betty had won all the achievements of the Royal Navy in World War I. Without David Betty, the Royal Navy would have no room for resistance.
The problem is that we can’t blame Heidi Selim for the loss of the ocean fleet in the Orkney Islands naval battle. It’s not that Heidi Selim’s tactics of "chasing after victory" and "fighting against bombing on battle lines" have gone wrong, but that the German First Battleship is too slow to respond to the abnormal behavior of the Royal Navy. The ocean fleet sank to the British new armor-piercing projectile due to the explosion of the battleship Avant-garde, and so on.
At 12: 04, the attention of the ocean fleet was focused on the sinking battleship Canada. No one thought that David Betty, its flagship commander, Tarry, brazenly gave the order of "Fire Unit 1", and no one even noticed that at the other end of the German battleline, the first unit of the British Second Battleship, the four battleships King George V, the Orion, the Hercules and the Giant were almost undefended, or rather, did not resist, to deal with the second unit of the German First Battleship, a Bavarian-class battleship and four Helgolan.
When designing the German battle line, Heidi Selim realized that the first team of four battleships with sā class might become British like the Ritland naval battle, trying to break through.
At the forefront of the German battlelines are a Bavarian-class battleship and four king-class battleships. Facing the British, four battleships equipped with 15-inch main guns and waterline with main armor reach the prehistoric example. The 13-inch revenge-class battleships are evenly matched. Although the last five Caesar-class battleships are equipped with 35-mm main guns, if they play a good numerical advantage, they will not lose too much in front of four British battleships equipped with 15-inch main guns, and then one Bavarian-class battleship and four Helgolan-class battleships will be behind them. Battleship in the face of a British battleship equipped with a 15-inch gun, a 135-inch gun-hunting battleship and two giant battleships equipped with a 12-inch gun may still have some advantages. The only absolute wind is that the first detachment is equipped with four standard displacement of 1,649 tons, four main guns with a diameter of 2 mm and five times the waterline with a main armor of 3 mm, so it is impossible to fight against a British battleship with a five-level gun, two Saint Vincent and a giant battleship.
West Lyme is not wary of this. After Baron Purple discovered the whereabouts of the British at 11: 00, West Lyme arranged for the cruise formation to enter the ocean fleet. At the end of the line, except for the mixing of different teams, it will lead to lack of running-in. The main reason for this problem is that the first reconnaissance group protects the weak first team. Once the war is not good, three mackensen-class and three Devlinger-class patrol ships at the front end of the first reconnaissance group can easily be 3 mm and 35 mm. "Chapter 11 of the Soul of the Sea of a Great Power changes history (6)" The giant gun supports the first
The actual situation in the naval battle in the Orkney Islands is that it is time to separate a part of J and jīng to pay attention to supporting our first detachment. The first reconnaissance group in Germany has been in a state of hysteria and irrationality, madly attacking the dying battleship Canada and showing signs of exhaustion in the subsequent battle, the Bellerophon.
In this way, the only loophole in the ocean fleet was exposed naked in front of the Royal Navy and then caught by David Betty with a keen sense of smell.
The British Second Battleship began to fire the Germans, and the latter was able to surpass the ship era. The 2 mm main gun was weak to fight against the whole British Battleship. However, the observation officers of the second detachment in front of the German first detachment never found that the muzzle of the British target sub-fleet flashed more than 15,000 meters away, and the opponent did not have a chance to fire because of command or heading problems.
We can’t blame the well-trained observation sergeants of the second German detachment. Although theoretically, the ocean fleet on the south side has better observation conditions because of the sun’s angle, the actual situation is that the British target fleet just got into a cloud.
It was typical of the North Sea in summer, and it was composed of a mist with high humidity. It was just that moment that the observation sergeant of the second German detachment lost the ability to detect the British.
On the other hand, the British people are located near the Tropic of Cancer because the sun is straight. Although the sun shines from the south at noon, it can’t cause too much trouble to their observation because of the large angle of the sun. Therefore, before the sky is clear and the horizon is clear, the British observation sergeant can easily judge the exact data of the artillery school.
A fleet went to fire and a squadron. The British occupied the right place at the right time. The German first team soon failed to support it.
At 12: 41, the British battleship Canada, the fourth fallen capital ship, was buried in the North Sea.
In the battle of encirclement and suppression of the British battleship Canada, the German first reconnaissance group performed poorly. Three mackensen-class patrol 3 mm main guns, which were reputed as the "North Atlantic King", poured nearly 150 large-caliber shells on the poor British, but failed to hit a key part of the battleship Canada.
However, this poor capital ship was still screened by such high-density shelling.
There were only 15 lucky people on the battleship Canada, and a damage officer, Lieutenant Maxi, recorded the sinking moment of the battleship Canada well.
In the previous round of shelling, we killed 93 people, two boilers and a coal bunker were destroyed, and the port generator set stopped running, so we could struggle forward at a speed of about 1 knot.
After encountering the Germans again, the fire and smoke quickly occupied the deck. The Canadian was like a frightened monster. The Germans rushed left and right in the barrage. I don’t know when the sea water overflowed our power cabin and laid a layer of dome armor. It completely stopped the sea.
We all know that the addition of "entertainment show" finished the tuba, and the temporary captain narrowly escaped the disaster of the commander tower. Cui Xiwei ordered to abandon the ship, but we couldn’t find the lifeboat at all, so that we could directly jump into the draft and only half a meter left for the battleship to swim in the distance.
The battleship sank faster than we thought, and the sea quickly overflowed its port deck, causing the battleship to tilt sharply to the left. After dozens of seconds, it overturned and sank. I clearly saw that many colleagues who were still paddling on the sea were involved in the huge whirlpool created by the sinking of the battleship. If you try hard, you can break free.’
The sinking of the battleship Canada caused the loss of the British capital ship to rise by four, with a total tonnage of over 92,000 tons.
It’s a sad moment for the Royal Navy, but the good news is that the battleship Canada sank almost instantly. Germany took the sā class battleship No.3, the battleship Rhineland, and sank because its hull was pierced by the water and ammunition depot.
In addition, the Royal Navy seems to have other surprises: the German Caesar-class 12-inch gun, the 35-mm British Iron Duke-class 15-inch gun and the 12-inch’ Green Bomb’. In the battle, the Caesar-class No.4 ship King Albert fell into the wind, and a turret was destroyed. The fire and smoke instantly enveloped the feared ship. "To be continued.
