"Your Excellency, Commander, please leave the 'Suruga' immediately. We were hit again. The stern steering gear was blown up, and a large amount of water is being flooded. A bomb was also blown out near the waterline on the side. Big hole. What's more terrible is that most of the holes that have been blocked before have been shaken open." The captain reported with a look of despair.
In the previous battles, the battleship 'Suruga' has been hit many times. This caused the battleship 'Suruga' to suffer great damage. Even with the efforts of the damage control personnel, the battleship was able to continue fighting. However, the two shells that had just been hit made them no longer hopeful.
Now, sea water is pouring into the hull from various holes. Soon the battleship would have to sink. This is undoubtedly a very big blow to the island fleet.
"Your Excellency, Commander, why don't we go to the 'Omi'?" Rear Admiral Suzuki Yoshio suggested.
Lieutenant General Takasu Shiro thought for a while, then shook his head: "Go directly to the 'Mutsu' behind!"
Lieutenant General Takasu Shiro knew that after the battleship "Suruga" was sunk, the battleship "Omi" behind the battleship "Suruga" would become a new target for the Germans. In terms of the strong firepower of the German fleet, it is estimated that the battleship "Omi" will not last long. At that time, do they need to escape from the battleship 'Omi' again? Instead of that, it's better to do it in one step and escape directly to the battleship 'Mutsu'.
Of course, if you wait until the battleship "Omi" is sunk, the navy of the island country will lose two capital ships in this naval battle. Such a loss is undoubtedly very heavy. In order to preserve their strength, they might have to choose to retreat and give up this mission. Otherwise, the island country will also pay a greater price for this.
"Hi, Your Excellency Commander!" Major General Suzuki Yoshio replied.
After Lieutenant General Takasu Shiro and Suzuki Yoshio evacuated the "Suruga" battleship, less than five minutes later, this huge battleship with a displacement of more than 40,000 tons sank into the sea.
"Great job! We have already sunk one of the Islanders' main ships! Now, change the target and sink their second main ship!" Lieutenant General Otto Schneewendt's face beamed with joy.
The island nation's fleet has only four capital ships in total. After one is sunk, there are only three left. The German fleet still has five capital ships. They will undoubtedly have a greater advantage in the next battle.
The five capital ships of the German fleet stopped their bombardment one after another, and began to shift their targets, pouring shells at the battleship "Omi" of the island fleet. In this naval battle, the advantage of the German fleet became more and more obvious.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Five battlecruisers of the German Navy, with a total of 45 381mm main guns, began to fire on the island fleet. The dense shells continuously hit the battleship 'Omi', and then fell around it, splashing high water columns.
"According to the current speed, if we are lucky, we will be able to deal with another battleship of the Islanders in half an hour! In this way, we can finish off all the battleships of the Islanders before dawn, and then calmly evacuate from this coast." Lieutenant General Otto Schneewent said with a smile.
If they can solve the four battleships of the island nation in this battle, this will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the island nation's navy. This will make the situation in the Pacific region further develop in favor of Germany. Although the navy of the island country is building warships vigorously, more warships will soon be in service. However, the construction of battleships is inherently very time-consuming. Perhaps by then, Germany will have been able to free its hand to reinforce the Pacific battlefield.
"Yes, General. But we have to prevent the islanders from escaping. If they want to escape, it will be very difficult to keep them. Not to mention the torpedoes of the islanders are very terrifying." Major General Abraham said .
Lieutenant General Otto Schneewendt nodded: "I hope these islanders can fight to the death like their army compatriots! If this is the case, we will be able to kill them all."
Major General Abraham couldn't help laughing, the island army's madness, although very scary. But in the face of the powerful firepower of the German army, there is still only one way to die.
"In addition, order our cruiser formation and destroyer formation to be careful of the lightning strikes of the islanders! The speed can reach 50 knots, the range can reach 22 kilometers, and the torpedo with a caliber of 610 mm is really terrifying. I really don't know how those islanders developed it. Such a terrifying torpedo." Lieutenant General Otto Schneewendt was a little speechless.
"Your Excellency, Commander, we will have the same torpedo soon. The empire's ordnance research department has made a breakthrough. By then, all warships of the empire will be able to replace this large-caliber torpedo. Even Our torpedo attack aircraft will also be able to carry large-caliber torpedoes. By then, the strength of the Imperial Navy will be even stronger." Rear Admiral Abraham said.
Otto? Schneewent lieutenant will agree with this. The current German navy is definitely the most powerful navy in the world. Even if the island navy has a good torpedo, it is not enough to make them have the strength to defeat the German navy.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The fierce naval battle continued. The five capital ships of the German Navy concentrated their firepower on the battleship 'Omi' of the island navy. Naturally, the navy of the island country will not sit still. Their three battleships are also firing on the battlecruiser 'Blücher'. However, maybe the German fleet had better luck tonight, or the artillery sighting radar is really powerful in the night combat environment, which makes the bombardment of the island fleet have little hit rate at all.
Even the battlecruiser "Blücher" was indeed hit. However, none of those injuries were fatal. On the other hand, under the guidance of the artillery radar, the hit rate of the German fleet is relatively impressive.
When the naval battle was going on at 2:38 in the morning, the German fleet frequently hit the battleship 'Omi', and the superstructure had been completely ignited, just like a burning torch. The shells of the German fleet are still hitting the battleship "Omi" continuously, which further deepens the injury of this battleship, and it seems that it will soon follow in the footsteps of the battleship "Suruga".
And the situation has undoubtedly become more unfavorable for the island fleet.
