"Order the four 'Ki-class' battleships to sail at maximum speed and intercept the Germans! Let the 'Tosa' keep up with us as much as possible. The rest of the 'Mutsu' and two 'Ise-class' battleships , also increased to the maximum speed, and joined the battle as much as possible. In addition, the two "Fuso-class" battleships that fell behind also rushed to join the battle as soon as possible!" Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo issued an order.
Under the circumstances that the situation was seriously unfavorable to the fleet of the island nation, Vice Admiral Yoshida Zengo finally made a choice. He has no other way. If he doesn't take risks, he will have to watch his warships being dealt with by the German fleet one after another at a long distance. When the main fleet of the German Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet arrived, they were even more dead end. Therefore, Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo can only choose to take a risky fight. If he is lucky, winning can severely damage or even defeat the German Navy, reversing the unfavorable situation.
"Yes, General!" Colonel Fukudome replied.
He also knows that the island nation's fleet is now at a critical juncture, and when there is no other option, he can only fight hard. If successful, the situation will be changed accordingly. But if they fail, they may have to retreat immediately. Otherwise, they will pay a higher price for it.
"I hope God Amaterasu can bless us and defeat the Germans in one fell swoop!" Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo secretly prayed in his heart.
On the other side, the atmosphere on the battleship König, the flagship of the German fleet, was relatively less tense. Although, in the previous battle, the battleship 'King' was also hit three times. 3 Every 410mm shell caused a certain degree of damage to the hull of the "King" battleship. However, several core parts were not injured. This made the combat effectiveness of the battleship 'King' not affected in any way. As the battleship "Kaga" was severely damaged and withdrew from the battle, this made the situation on the battlefield more favorable to the German fleet.
Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardy had a smile on his face. After sinking one ship and severely damaging an enemy ship, the situation on the battlefield has become eight to eight. Next, as long as the German fleet can continue to suppress, the possibility of them winning this naval battle will be very high.
"General, a telegram has been sent to the flagship. Your Excellency, Commander, will send a submarine force to search for it. It would be great if the capital ship of the severely damaged island nation fleet can be found and destroyed." Fei. Major General Lex said.
"Look at your luck! It's not so easy to find a warship on the vast ocean." Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardi said.
Although it only severely damaged the battleship 'Kaga', it was not able to sink it, which made Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardy feel a little regretful. However, being able to have such an effect is already considered pretty good. After all, compared to the island nation's fleet, they have already taken advantage of it. The island fleet has been fighting for so long, but they have not achieved any results. On the contrary, they have suffered more and more losses. They are the most aggrieved.
"General, the radar found that the island nation's fleet is accelerating!" A staff officer reported.
Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardy and Major General Felix quickly picked up the binoculars.
I saw that the speed of the island nation fleet in the distance began to increase continuously. Although it is too far away, I can't see clearly. But it can be seen that the speed of the island nation's fleet is indeed constantly improving. Because when the gun is fired, the flame shining from the muzzle will illuminate the hull.
"The islanders want to work hard." Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardi said.
"According to the information we have received, the islanders' Kii-class battleship can reach a maximum speed of 29.5 knots. Our "King-class" battleship is simply incomparable." Major General Felix said.
"Hmph! So what can we do? Let them catch up. Pay attention to turning, don't let them grab the T prefix. After their four 'Ki-class' battleships catch up, we can also concentrate Deal with them with firepower. With eight ships against four ships, we still have an advantage." Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardi said.
He did not arrive at any threat to this change of the island nation's fleet. He firmly believes that although the "King-class" battleships and the "Derfflinger-class" battleships have been in service for many years, except for their firepower and speed being inferior to the "Ki-class" battleships, they are not weak in defense at all. stronger. With twice the advantage, it would definitely be able to defeat the four Kii-class battleships of the island nation's fleet. Of course, in the following battles, the German fleet may also suffer certain losses. There is no way to do this. In the middle of the battle, there will definitely be casualties. It is very difficult to defeat the enemy with zero casualties.
Major General Felix nodded, he also knew that the real battle was coming soon. The islanders went crazy and desperately, but the German fleet still had a great advantage. Therefore, they have a great chance of winning, and they don't have to be afraid of the island fleet.
"Ask the battleship formation of the Indian Ocean Fleet, how long it will take for them to arrive. Whether they can defeat the island nation's fleet in one fell swoop, or how many battles they can achieve, depends on them." Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardi ordered .
"Yes, General." Major General Felix replied.
Once they further inflict heavy damage on the island fleet, the island fleet will definitely retreat. At that time, it will be necessary to rely on the Indian Ocean Fleet to detour in advance to intercept. Otherwise, with the speed advantage of the island nation's fleet, it would undoubtedly be very difficult to kill them all.
The speed of the four "Ki-class" battleships became faster and faster, and soon increased to 29 knots. This speed has far exceeded that of the German fleet. The battle distance between the two sides is also constantly narrowing.
"Aim at the German flagship and concentrate your firepower to destroy them!" Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo gave the order with a serious face.
Four "Ki-class" battleships assembled forty 410mm main guns and fiercely opened fire on the "King" battleship.
At the same time, the five 'King-class' battleships and three 'Derfflinger-class' battlecruisers of the German fleet were also concentrating their firepower on attacking the 'Ki' battleship, with 72 380mm main guns firing violently, For a while, bullets rained down.
The German fleet and the island nation's fleet have entered a hand-to-hand battle.
