Jagged Germany

   On the battleship 'Mutsu', Lieutenant General Takasu Shiro looked very ugly. The flames on the battleship 'Omi' made his heart seem to be bleeding.

   You know, before the "Yamato-class" battleships entered service, the "Ki-class" battleships were the most powerful battleships of the Japanese navy. However, in the last naval battle, they had already sunk two "Ki-class" battleships. And in this naval battle, they will sink the remaining two "Kii-class" battleships. And, I'm afraid they will lose more battleships. This is undoubtedly a particularly heavy blow to the island nation's fleet.

   "Your Excellency, the battleship 'Omi' has been hit many times, and they may not last long." Major General Suzuki Yoshio said with a pale face.

  Once the battleship "Omi" is sunk, it means that they have completely lost in this naval battle. This is undoubtedly another unacceptable result for the navy of the island country.

   "It seems that we really shouldn't engage in night battles with the Germans! In night battles, no matter how powerful our battleship is, it is useless if we can't hit the opponent." Admiral Shiro Takasu sighed.

  The capital ships of the island nation's fleet are mostly newly built after the end of the last war. Much newer than those capital ships of the German Navy. And the caliber of the main gun is also larger, and it seems to be more powerful. However, the results of the naval battle made these generals of the island navy almost start to doubt their lives. Their cutting-edge warships were severely beaten by the old warships of the German Navy, and suffered heavy losses.

  Rear Admiral Suzuki Yoshio nodded. In the night battle, the island nation's fleet was indeed at a disadvantage. They couldn't hit the German fleet, but the German fleet was able to hit their warships with advanced electronic technology. This puts the island nation's fleet in a completely passive state of being beaten. No matter how powerful the island nation's battleship is, it can't handle it!

  Of course, if it is fighting the German fleet during the day, it may be different. At least the hit rate and effective range of the island fleet can be greatly improved, and it may not be without the strength to compete with the German fleet.

   However, if it is really necessary to fight during the day, the powerful carrier-based aircraft force of the German Navy may become the nightmare of the island navy again. At least, the current carrier-based aircraft of the navy of the island country simply cannot compete with the carrier-based aircraft of the German Navy. At that time, the warships of the island nation's fleet will inevitably be besieged by the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft.

   "Boom!"

  Suddenly, a violent explosion sounded on the battleship 'Omi'. At this moment, the dazzling fire seemed to illuminate the entire surface of the sea.

   Lieutenant General Takasu Shiro and Major General Suzuki Yoshio, their expressions became even more ugly. They all know what happened. The battleship "Omi" is probably doomed.

   Soon, Lieutenant General Takasu Shiro and Major General Suzuki Yoshio got reports. In the battle just now, the battleship 'Omi' was hit by the ammunition depot of the former main turret. As a result, a large number of 410mm artillery shells in the ammunition depot exploded. The violent explosion directly tore up the entire front half of the battleship 'Omi'. Such injuries are completely irreparable for the battleship 'Omi'.

   "Your Excellency, the battleship 'Omi' has been sunk." Rear Admiral Suzuki Yoshio reported.

   Lieutenant General Takasu Shiro also knew this, because he almost watched the battleship 'Omi' sink little by little. This is undoubtedly an extremely heavy blow to the island nation's fleet.

  After losing two battleships successively, they only had two battleships left. The German fleet, however, is still five battleships. It can be said that the German fleet has achieved an overwhelming advantage.

   "Order the fleet to turn around and withdraw from the battle!" Lieutenant General Takasu Shiro ordered.

   Obviously, if they continue to fight, their only fate may be to be sunk one by one by the German fleet.

   "Your Excellency, the German warships are faster than ours. I am afraid it will be difficult for us to get rid of them." Rear Admiral Suzuki Yoshio said.

  The sunken battleships "Suruga" and "Omi" are the fastest capital ships, with a maximum speed of 29 knots. However, for the next battleships "Mutsu" and "Ise", the maximum speed can be increased to 25 knots, which is already very good. It is almost impossible to get rid of the pursuit of the five battlecruisers of the German fleet.

   "I know! The Germans gathered this time should be their battlecruisers. In terms of speed, we are indeed no match for the Germans." Lieutenant General Takasu Shiro said.

   Even the "Yamato-class" battleship's maximum speed is only 27.5 knots. If you want to compete in speed with the battlecruisers of the German Navy, you can't do it.

"Order the 'Kitakami' and 'Oi', as well as other destroyer fleets, to get ready! As long as the Germans dare to pursue them, let them taste the power of our Type 93 torpedoes!" Lieutenant General Takasushiro ordered. .

  Although two capital ships were sunk, this caused heavy losses to the island fleet. However, Lieutenant General Takasu Shiro still did not give up. If they can rely on lightning strikes to cause the German fleet to pay heavy losses, maybe they will be able to reverse the situation.

   "Hi, Your Excellency, Commander!" Major General Suzuki Yoshio immediately went to give the order.

  The light cruiser 'Kitakami' and the light cruiser 'Oi', these are the secret weapons of the island nation's fleet. Both of these light cruisers can belong to the "Kuma-class" light cruisers. It's just that they all accepted the modification. The original "Kuma-class" light cruiser was equipped with four 140mm main guns. However, the light cruiser "Kitakami" and the light cruiser "Oi" canceled three 140mm main guns. With the saved displacement and space, 10 quadruple 610mm heavy torpedoes were installed.

  This also means that the light cruiser "Kitakami" and the light cruiser "Oi" can launch forty 610mm torpedoes at one time. Judging from the terrifying power of the 610mm torpedo, this is undoubtedly extremely abnormal. Once under such an attack, I am afraid that no warship can resist it at all.

   These two light cruisers also have a new title, called heavy mine cruisers. Once these two light cruisers lead a group of destroyers to launch a lightning strike, it will undoubtedly pose a very big threat. Especially in the night combat environment, the threat will be further increased.
