"The other two British dreadnoughts are coming soon!" A K8 bomber discovered the Thomas fleet that was rushing to the battlefield. At this time, the Thomas fleet was only 15 kilometers away from the battlefield. If it was daytime, the two sides had already started to fight! Unfortunately, at night, the combat distance between the two sides was compressed to about 7 kilometers.

"Send a telegram to the count, the British reinforcements are here!" Major General Feng Liaole glanced at the Hercules, which had been covered in flames in the distance, and decided to retreat, and did not miss it at all. There was no way, it would be dangerous to stay here for one more minute. He was destined to be unable to kill this big guy.

At the same time, the battle between the Giant and the Spee fleet also became fierce. The Caesar battleship located in front had been beaten like a fire dragon swimming on the sea. The Earl's flagship Caesar Frederick the Great was not taken care of by the Giant battleship due to its position. When Major General Liao Le's telegram was forwarded, the Caesar in front had a series of light signals.

"Our ship will cover the retreat of the flagship! Long live the empire!" Then, the Caesar rushed towards the Giant not far away like a angrily dragon on the sea. After realizing that the battle situation could not be restored, Earl Spee also issued a retreat order. So, with the Count's active retreat, the second confrontation tonight came to an end!

In the end, the USS Caesar battleship was hated by the British torpedo volley, and became the second German battleship to sink in this battle. Major General Liaole no longer wanted to fight and began to consider retreating, and Earl Spee also decided to hide again. While retreating, Earl Spee subconsciously glanced at the pocket watch. It was 3 a.m.! It was already the critical time for the British fleet to evacuate!

Today, Thomas realized what it means to be better than to be a heavenly one. If both sides fought, how could the two British dreadnoughts lose to the Germans' pile of broken iron? But now, the strange fighting situation has made the Heath fleet lose all its advantages. He was knocked twice at a very close distance. Even though Major General Heath finally killed a German battleship, Thomas realized that the rest of the matter was not so easy to deal with!

The German fleet was once again hidden in the night, and it took time to search and annihilate it. However, now it is time for the fleet to return to sail. But look at the current fleet, both Giant and Hercules were injured. The rear of the Giant hull was shot too much, and the tail was severely tilted. The transmission shaft was damaged to a certain extent, carrying at least 1,500 tons of sea water! The Hercules was not in a good condition, with more than 40% of the power loss, and with water inlet and other problems, the speed of 14 knots can burn high incense! However, according to the plan, the fleet needs to evacuate the battlefield at a speed of more than 18 knots!

"If the Luftwaffe is prepared, I'm afraid these two battleships will be explained here!" Thomas lamented in his heart, but this time is obviously not a time of pessimism and disappointment. Although the current situation has developed in a direction that is not conducive to the British fleet, as the best officer in the British Royal Navy, Thomas still has a backup plan!"

"We have lost the fleet retreat today, but we must not lose all the weights in our hands!" At this time, Thomas did not take the lead, but chose to retreat rationally. To be honest, if he could successfully bring all the four main battleships back, then he would make a profit tonight! According to the battle situation just now, the last remaining German battleship would not be able to attack in a short period of time. Another armored cruiser is expected to go and overhaul, and there is another ship in an unknown state. In this case, the German fleet could use warships in the future and could barely gather a fleet of 4 to 5 ships. But now, Thomas subconsciously believed that his journey home would not be smooth!

"Send a report to the headquarters, report our current situation, and then report to the cover fleet. We need their help to retreat tomorrow. In addition, order the light cruiser team to immediately accommodate non-combatants from the two damaged dreadnoughts as much as possible, and then evacuate early." Thomas ordered. "In addition, send a report to the Neptune, the two undamaged warships evacuate in scattered manner, and the two damaged battleships evacuate in formation!"

"Hisser Commander, are you going to give up the Giant and Hercules?" said an officer next to him in surprise. "They are already damaged and need cover and help."

"If they unfortunately encounter German bombers or fleets, then there is no difference between us or not. Everyone will go separately and retreat successfully." Thomas is very clear now. The so-called willingness can lead to gain! After Thomas repeated his orders again, the entire British fleet began to execute. Of course, in order to prevent the German fleet from catching the tail of Heath tonight, before leaving the war zone of the Straits, Thomas's other two warships would provide cover for Heath.

"The British fleet has evacuated!" 45 minutes after the British fleet has evacuated, the Count received a telegram from the K aircraft group again.

"It seems that our battle tonight is over? Order the fleets to prepare for return. Although the results are not satisfactory, everyone performed very well and I will bear all the guilt. In addition, let me tell you to stand the last shift and I don't want any problems when the fleet returns." The Count sighed and said, no matter what, he and most of his warships finally survived. His flagship may be scrapped in the future, but no matter what, he still brought back more than 800 officers and soldiers on his flagship alive!

At the same time, at Harlice Harry in southern England, several large ships left the port from the defense system deployed by shipwrecks and minefields with the help of guides. If an experienced British Navy officer passed by at this time, he would be surprised to find that these ships leaving the port were the Bold and Hercules dreadnoughts that participated in the Battle of Dover Strait tonight?

Of course, this cannot be true. These are all British camouflage warships. After simple improvements are made with civilian ships, the British in history changed a fake and bold ship to confuse the Germans' reconnaissance after the battleship Daring hit thunder and fell silent. The effect was very good. In World War II, the British again disguised themselves as new battleships in World War I to deceive the Germans. The effect was quite good. In this plane, the British still built a lot of camouflage warships, and this time it came in handy!
