Jagged Germany

   "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

  The heavy cruisers of the German Navy began to fire, although it was night and the line of sight was limited. However, with the assistance of the artillery sighting radar, the hit rate is much higher than that of the island navy.

  The battleships of the German Navy are not only equipped with radars for capital ships, cruisers are also equipped with air search radars, sea search radars, and gun sight radars. Although this will increase the construction cost of the battleship, it will make the battleship more powerful in naval battles. In the next step, once the air defense radar is successfully developed, the German Navy will continue to upgrade these warships. Once the radar can guide the fire of anti-aircraft guns, the air defense capabilities of the German Navy will undoubtedly rise to a new level.

   "Boom! Boom!"

  The power of the 210mm shells, although not as powerful as the main guns of capital ships, should not be underestimated. At least, among battleships like cruisers, they are already quite ferocious.

   "Fight back! Kill the German battleship!"

   Commander Shunji Izaki, the captain of the heavy cruiser 'Mogami' ordered. Although, he also wanted to rush directly to the aircraft carrier of the German Navy. But if you don't fight back, you may be sunk before you rush to the German Navy's aircraft carrier.

  The 'Superior Class' heavy cruiser, although huge, is still a bit smaller than the heavy cruisers of the German Navy. Although there is one more main gun, the rate of fire and power are not as good. Coupled with the gap in defense, if one-on-one, the "Superior" heavy cruiser is not an opponent of the German Navy's heavy cruiser at all. Not to mention that it is night now, the heavy cruisers of the German Navy have gun-sighting radar as an aid, and the heavy cruisers of the island navy can only fire based on experience and feeling, and whether they can hit the target can only rely on luck.

  For a while, the heavy cruisers of both sides fought together. Although battles between cruisers are not as thrilling as battleships, they are not at all inferior to battles between battleships.

  Fires were constantly shining. Once the battleship was hit and burned, the damage control personnel had to do their best to put out the fire as soon as possible. Otherwise, this is to point out the direction for the enemy to shoot.

   "General, the Germans dispatched heavy cruisers to intercept our 'Superior Class' heavy cruiser." Rear Admiral Suzuki Yoshio reported on the battlecruiser "Amagi".

"Hmph! The Germans are delaying time. There are still more than three hours before dawn. Do they think they can escape? Let the 'Superior' heavy cruiser entangle us. The rest of the battlecruisers, go straight to the Germans Go to the aircraft carrier. This time, we must get rid of the German aircraft carrier!" Lieutenant General Shiro Takasu ordered.

  If such an opportunity was encountered in normal times, Shiro Takasu would definitely order the fleet to deal with the heavy cruisers of the German Navy. After all, heavy cruisers are large surface warships second only to capital ships. Killing one is also a very impressive result. But now, the elimination of the German Navy's aircraft carrier is the most important thing. The rest can be put aside for now.

   "Hi, General." Major General Suzuki Yoshio nodded.

   "Boom!"

  A 210mm artillery shell hit the heavy cruiser "Mikuma", and the 60mm thick deck armor was easily torn apart. The shell exploded inside the battleship, causing a raging fire.

   "Good job! Take advantage of this opportunity, hit hard, and get rid of this heavy cruiser of the islanders!" The captain of the heavy cruiser "ZX24" of the German Navy ordered.

   "Yes, General!"

   "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

  The battleship's three triple-mounted 50-caliber 210mm main guns are even more violent. With the aid of the autoloader, the rate of fire reached an astonishing two rounds per minute. In contrast, the "Superior Class" heavy cruiser of the Japanese navy can only fire once a minute. This caused a huge gap in the firepower projection capabilities of the battleships of the two sides.

   "Baga! Extinguish the fire!" the captain of the heavy cruiser "Mikuma" shouted, Shino Kimura at the top of his voice.

  The heavy cruisers of the German Navy fired wildly, and the shells fell like raindrops, which made the heart of Commander Kimura Shin almost rise to his throat. If it was during the day, they probably don't know how many times they have been hit.

  Two minutes later, another shell hit the heavy cruiser 'Mikuma'. This time, the No. 1 main turret located at the bow was hit. Only 25mm thick main turret armor, what's the difference with none? It was easily torn apart by a 210mm armor-piercing bullet. After the shell exploded, the entire turret was blown up. What's more terrible is that the armor of the ammunition depot located under the turret was also very explosive. It was destroyed in the explosion, and the flames spread directly into the ammunition depot.

   Thus, the tragedy happened. A large number of 203mm shells in the ammunition depot exploded.

  Only hearing the sound of'boom', the front half of the heavy cruiser "Mikuma" was shattered in the explosion, and a large amount of seawater poured into the battleship.

   "It's over, this time it's over!" The mind of Chief Kimura Shin went blank. He knew that the heavy cruiser 'Mikuma' was finished this time.

   Soon, the heavy cruiser "Mikuma" sank into the sea with the bow down. Almost none of the nearly 1,000 naval officers and soldiers on the battleship survived.

  In the confrontation of heavy cruisers, the navy of the island country is completely at a disadvantage. Their "superior" heavy cruisers were not opponents of the German Navy's heavy cruisers at all, so that they were almost crushed during the battle.

The "Amagi-class" battlecruisers of the Japanese Navy went after the German Navy's aircraft carrier, and simply ignored the battle between the heavy cruisers, so that the four "Superior Class" heavy cruisers of the Japanese Navy were very unlucky. One after another was sunk or badly damaged by heavy cruisers of the German Navy.

  After the heavy cruiser 'Mikuma' was sunk, the heavy cruiser 'Suzuya' was also severely damaged. Captain Gao Liuyi Ba Dazuo immediately ordered the battleship to retreat, which saved their lives. Otherwise, it is estimated that it will be sunk like the heavy cruiser "Mikuma".

  The heavy cruiser 'Mogami' and the heavy cruiser 'Kumano' were not at all opponents of the heavy cruisers of the German Navy in battle. Despite their frantic fire, it was of little use, causing no damage to the heavy cruisers of the German Navy. However, the heavy cruisers of the German Navy beat them to death directly. In the end, the heavy cruiser "Mogami" was sunk, and the heavy cruiser "Kumano" escaped with serious injuries. In this battle between heavy cruisers, the island navy was completely defeated.
