Jagged Germany

   "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

  The roaring sound of the main guns spread far under the night sky, and the orange flames could even illuminate the entire battleship. However, the battleship soon disappeared under the night sky again.

  Heavy shells roared and smashed towards the distant enemy. The shells smashed into the sea, splashing a column of water that soared into the sky.

  The German fleet and the island nation's fleet are fighting crazily. Both sides come and go, constantly throwing shells at each other. It's just that most of these shells hit the sea, and there was nothing to gain.

   "Modify the bombardment parameters!" The gunner of the battleship 'King' ordered.

  Three 380mm main guns with 50 times the caliber stopped firing. According to the data obtained from the gun sight radar, after slightly modifying the shooting parameters, they continued to fire.

   "Boom!"

  A 380mm artillery shell successfully hit the battleship 'Kaga'. Although it failed to cause serious damage to it, it successfully ignited it. The raging flames spread on the battleship 'Kaga', turning the battleship 'Kaga' into a flaming torch, which can be clearly seen even if it is more than 20 kilometers away.

  The eight battleships of the German Navy assembled all their firepower to open fire on the battleship 'Kaga'. Even if the hit rate is very low, it can still hit the 'Kaga' continuously. After sinking the battleship "Nagato", the battleship "Kaga" at the forefront of the battle line became the primary target of the German fleet.

   It's just that, although it has hit the'Kaga' many times, it has also caused some damage to it. But there is undoubtedly a very long way to go before sinking this battleship.

"Although our 380mm main gun is not weak, it is still very difficult to sink the huge capital ship of the island navy! If we can replace it with a more powerful 410mm main gun, maybe we have killed two There are three battleships of the navy of the island country." Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardy sighed.

  Germany's artillery technology is already very powerful. If we increase investment, not to mention the 410mm main gun, I am afraid that even the 460mm main gun has been developed and equipped on battleships. But it is a pity that since the last world war, Germany has made a decision not to build capital ships, and has made every effort to develop aircraft carriers, which makes the navy only able to use those old warships for refitting. Although, the effect of the modification is very good, and it can suppress the cutting-edge battleships of other countries. However, the performance is still not enough.

"General, there is no way around it. It is too difficult to rely on battleships to sink the enemy's battleships. If it is daytime and the carrier-based planes of the aircraft carrier launch an attack, it will be relatively much easier." Felix Major General Si said.

  Lieutenant Admiral Theodor Burchardi nodded: "Order the ships, concentrate their firepower, and eliminate the target as soon as possible! Only in that way can we confront the islanders."

  After the island fleet temporarily abandoned the two slower Fuso-class battleships, only nine battleships came up to pursue them. If one can be sunk, it will be eight to eight. In this case, even if the island nation's fleet further shortens the distance, it will not be a cause for concern.

   "Yes, General!" Major General Felix nodded, he knew what Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardi meant.

   It's just that the battleship "Kaga" of the island navy has really good performance. At a distance of more than 20 kilometers, it is undoubtedly very difficult to sink it. Now the German fleet has temporarily suppressed the island nation's fleet by virtue of the technical advantages brought by the gun-sighting radar. But if you want to sink it, it will undoubtedly take a lot of time.

   Compared with the German fleet, the island fleet is undoubtedly much more aggrieved. From the beginning of the battle to now, they have wasted a lot of shells, but achieved very few hits. Although the battleship "King" of the German Navy was built before the last World War. But the defense is still very strong, even if it was hit by a 410mm shell, it did not cause much damage. Judging from this, it is not known how long it will take to sink a warship of the German Navy.

   "How far are we from the Germans now?" Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo asked.

   "General, there are still 22 kilometers left. After the Germans turned around, we chased up again, which wasted a lot of time." Said Colonel Fukushige.

  At this moment, the island nation’s fleet only has an advantage of 1 knot in speed. It will undoubtedly take a long time to rely on such a small advantage to shorten the engagement distance to more than ten kilometers.

   "How is the situation of the 'Kaga'? Can it continue?" Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo asked.

  Battle so far, the battleship 'Kaga' has been hit many times. Although those injuries do not seem to be fatal, Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo is also worried that the battleship "Kaga" will follow in the footsteps of the battleship "Nagato". In that case, their strength will be further weakened. This will undoubtedly be even more unfavorable for the next battle.

"General, the situation of the 'Kaga' is already quite bad. Although, it was not fatally injured. But the Germans were able to score almost one hit in a few salvos. If this continues, the 'Kaga' The Battleship No. 1 may not be able to hold on for long." Said Colonel Shigeru Fukudou worriedly.

   There is no doubt that the entire island nation fleet is now being suppressed.

  Lieutenant Admiral Yoshida Zengo hesitated a little. He knew that another capital ship force of the German Navy must be on the way. If they don't seize the time to severely damage the main fleet of the Pacific Fleet, they will have no chance of winning when the main fleet of the Indian Ocean Fleet arrives.

   "If we want to intercept the Germans, is there any way?" Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo asked.

"General, at present, there are only two ways. One is to accelerate again. But in that case, I am afraid that only the 'Ki-class' battleships and the 'Kaga-class' battleships can reach this speed. Even, if you want to If the speed is increased to 29 knots, only four "Ki-class" battleships can do it. But the advantage is that it only takes one hour, and we can shorten the engagement distance to a distance of more than ten kilometers. However , This will also make our four 'Ki-class' battleships encounter the siege of eight German capital ships." Fukushige said.

   Such a method is undoubtedly a bit risky, which is why Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo did not choose this method before.
