The 'Nagato' Battleship is the first powerful Capital Ships with a main gun caliber up to 410 mm built by Island Nation Navy after the last World War. When it was built, the displacement was as high as more than 33,000 tons. However, three years ago, the Battleship underwent large-scale modifications. Not only was a large number of anti-aircraft weapons installed, but the armor was also further thickened, causing the displacement to soar to more than 43,000 tons.
The strong defensive power and the powerful main gun make the "Nagato" Battleship become the world's first-class Capital Ships.
However, now the captain Captain Tokunaga Sakae of the 'Nagato' Battleship is going crazy.
Shells were falling one after another around the "Nagato" Battleship, and the towering water columns splashed from the sea almost drenched the entire battleship. Although they have been modified and their defense has been greatly enhanced, if they are hit by these large-caliber main gun shells, they will still be severely damaged or even sunk. What's even worse is that the enemy launched an attack, but they didn't even know where the enemy was. This feeling almost drove him crazy.
"Baga! Where did the Germany people hide? Where are they?" Captain Tokunaga Sakae cursed.
This is also due to Captain Tokunaga Sakae's unlucky position. Who made their position at the front of the entire fleet, which made them the first attack target of the German Navy Pacific Fleet Battleship formation. Five ships 'Kaiser class' Battleship and three ships 'Derfflinger class' Battlecruiser were all firing concentrated fire at it. In each salvo, as many as 72 Armor-piercing Shells weighing one ton were dropped. This kind of firepower is undoubtedly very powerful.
"Captain Tokunaga Sakae, calm down. Germany's Capital Ships is very far away from them. It's not easy for them to hit us!" Combined Fleet No. 3 Capital Ship Squadron Commander Vice Admiral Mineichi Koga After learning about the status of Lieutenant General Tokunaga Sakae, he specially used the radio to remind him. As one of the four Capital Shipss of 3rd Capital Ship Fleet, Vice Admiral Mineichi Koga does not want the combat power of the 'Nagato' Battleship to be damaged so quickly.
"Hi, General!" Captain Tokunaga Sakae replied quickly. At the same time, he gradually calmed down.
"Sir, the flagship ordered us to form a battle line and prepare to fight!" the staff officer said.
"Follow the flagship's orders!" Captain Tokunaga Sakae ordered. At the same time, he felt relieved. After forming the battle line, the 'Nagato' Battleship should not be at the front. In this case, they may not be Encirclement Offensive by Germany people anymore. After all, among the Capital Ships team, there are several Battleship ships that are more powerful than the Nagato Battleship.
"Hi, sir!"
Under the attack of German Navy, team Island Nation Navy Capital Ships was shocked. But then the Combined Fleet Capital Ships team calmed down and immediately began to prepare to actively challenge.
Under the command of Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo, 12 Capital Ships will form a battle line. The four Battleships of 3rd Capital Ship Fleet are located at the front of the battle line, the four Battleships of 1st Capital Ship Squadron are located in the middle, and the four Battleships of 4th Capital Ship Squadron are located at the rear.
Although 3 Capital Ship Squadron Commander Vice Admiral Mineichi Koga complained about this, he did not show it on the battlefield. After all, this is an urgent battle, and if he dares to disobey orders, Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo will definitely not let him go. He might even be used as a scapegoat. Therefore, even if you are dissatisfied, you can only tolerate it temporarily.
The "Nagato" number Battleship began to turn, trying to join the other Capital Ships and join the battle line. Their position should be the third in the battle line.
However, unfortunately, the 'Nagato' Battleship seemed to have bad luck. Not only did it become the first attack target of the German Navy Pacific Fleet Battleship formation, it also became the first target to be hit.
A 380mm Shell hit the side of the "Nagato" Battleship hard. The 305 mm side armor was easily torn apart, leaving a big hole. A 140mm secondary gun was also destroyed, causing a raging fire.
Although the defense of the 'Nagato' number Battleship was strengthened during the modification. However, the waterline armor and side armor have not been thickened and are still 305 mm. The deck armor and turret armor were thickened to be able to deal with attacks from enemy aircraft.
"Quickly put out the fire!" Captain Tokunaga Sakae shouted loudly.
If the fires cannot be put out, this will make them the best targets in the night sky. However, at this moment, German Navy and Capital Ships were still 28 kilometers away, almost out of sight, and the soaring fire could not be seen.
The Radar wave launched by Fire-control Radar continuously scans the 'Nagato' number Battleship, and then transmits the data to each main turret, so that these main turrets can be readjusted after each shot to ensure that the impact point is getting closer and closer to the 'Nagato' number Battleship, and finally hits the target.
Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo couldn't help but feel nervous after witnessing the "Nagato" number Battleship being hit.
"Damn it, how can those old warships of Germany be so powerful? Even 'Kii-class' Battleship is absolutely impossible to hit the target at such a distance. It's incredible that those old warships that have been in service for more than 20 years have such capabilities!" Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo was completely shocked. This result was completely beyond his expectation. Originally, he thought that even if they faced off against German Navy's Capital Ships team, they would be able to win easily. However, the current facts gave him a slap in the face.
"Boom!"
A violent explosion broke out on the "Nagato" Battleship, and the flames almost enveloped the entire bow. A 380mm Shell penetrated the bow armor of the Nagato Battleship, exploded inside the battleship, and caused a fire at the same time.
In the following, shells hit the "Nagato" Battleship almost every minute.
Although these attacks were not fatal, they made the "Nagato" Battleship very embarrassed. The entire superstructure even burned, like a huge torch under the night sky. Many sailors on the battleship have been killed in the battle. Almost everyone believes that if this continues, the Nagato Battleship will be sunk soon.
German Navy Pacific Fleet's old warships showed unbelievable strength at the beginning of this duel.
