"General, the Island Nation cruisers and destroyers have turned around. They're preparing to launch a torpedo attack!" Major General Abraham cried out.
"Damn it! The Island Nation forces retreated on their own—it really is a trap. Order the fleet to prepare for torpedo defense!" Lieutenant General Otto Schneewind ordered. The terror of the Island Nation Navy's 610mm torpedoes made even Lieutenant General Otto Schneewind's heart tighten. If they were hit by those dreadful torpedoes, the consequences would be extremely serious.
The five Battlecruisers that had been accelerating began to turn. At the same time, their speed increased further. The cruisers and destroyers also began preparing for battle. Their main and secondary guns swung around, aiming in the direction from which the Island Nation Navy's Light Cruisers and destroyers were approaching.
Although it was nighttime and visibility was severely limited, making it impossible to see those Light Cruisers and destroyers at all, they could barely be detected with the guidance of Fire-control Radar. However, because the Island Nation fleet's Light Cruisers and destroyers were moving so quickly, hitting them was almost impossible.
None of the Battlecruisers opened fire, and they also imposed a blackout. This made it difficult for the Island Nation fleet's Light Cruisers and destroyers to clearly see the Battlecruisers, preventing them from launching torpedoes accurately. If they released their torpedoes blindly, the threat would naturally be much smaller.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The German fleet's heavy cruisers, Light Cruisers, and destroyers all began firing. Dense shells blanketed the Island Nation fleet's torpedo attack formation. However, nearly all of those shells fell into the water, failing to hit their targets.
"Order some of the Light Cruisers and destroyers to break off and charge the Island Nation torpedo attack formation! It's hard to hit targets by firing from too far away.
