Not far from the light cruiser Oi, the light cruiser Kitakami was also under attack from several German light cruisers and destroyers. But as several German warships were hit in quick succession, both sides across the battlefield were stunned for a moment.
"God! What happened? Why have two of our light cruisers and two destroyers been sunk?" the captain of a light cruiser asked in astonishment.

"Torpedoes! The Islanders fired torpedoes. Those warships were all sunk by torpedoes! Otherwise, they could never have been hit simultaneously."
"Just how many torpedoes can that Island Nation light cruiser launch at once? How can it be so powerful?"
The officers and sailors of the German Navy were all shocked by the formidable strength of the light cruiser Kitakami. Clearly, none of them had expected it to launch dozens of torpedoes in one go, directly sinking two light cruisers and two destroyers of the German fleet.
"Sir, Kitakami launched a torpedo attack and sank two German light cruisers and two destroyers in one stroke!" an officer reported to Colonel Nishioka Shigeyasu, captain of the light cruiser Oi.
"Yoshi! Order the torpedoes launched. There are too many German light cruisers and destroyers, and they are too troublesome! Sink them first, then go after the Germans' main fleet!" Colonel Nishioka Shigeyasu ordered.
