"Order the four "Kii-class" Battleship to sail at maximum speed and intercept the Germany people! Let the "Tosa" keep up with us as much as possible. The remaining "Mutsu" and the two "" Ise-class'Battleship also increased its speed to join the battle as much as possible. In addition, the two ships 'Fusō-class' Battleship that were behind also came to join the battle as soon as possible!" Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo gave the order.
When the situation was seriously unfavorable to the Island Nation fleet, Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo finally made a choice. He had no other choice. If he didn't take risks, he would have to watch his own warships being eliminated one after another from a long distance by German fleet. When German Navy Indian Ocean Fleet's Capital Ships team arrived, they were in a dead end. Therefore, Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo can only choose to take a risk. If he is lucky, winning can severely damage German Navy, or even defeat him, reversing the unfavorable situation.
"Yes, General!" Captain Fukudome Shigeru replied.
He also knew that the Island Nation fleet was now at a critical juncture. With no other options available, it could only fight hard. If successful, the situation will change. But if they fail, then they may have to retreat immediately. Otherwise, they will pay a higher price for this.
"I hope Amaterasu Omikami can protect us and defeat the Germany people in one fell swoop!" Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo secretly prayed in his heart.
On the other side, on German fleet's flagship 'König' number Battleship, the atmosphere was relatively less tense. Although, in the previous battle, the number 'König' Battleship was also hit three times. 3 Each 410 mm shell caused a certain degree of damage to the hull of the Battleship ship of the 'König'. However, several core parts were not damaged. This means that the combat effectiveness of the 'König' number Battleship has not been affected in any way. As the 'Kaga' Battleship was severely damaged and withdrawn from the battle, the situation on the battlefield became more and more favorable to German fleet.
Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardi had a smile on his face. After sinking one enemy ship and severely damaging another enemy ship, the situation on the battlefield has become eight to eight. Next, as long as German fleet can continue to maintain suppression, the possibility of them winning this naval battle will be very high.
"General, Telegram has been sent to the flagship. Your Excellency Commander will send a submarine force to search. It would be great if the severely damaged Capital Ships of the Island Nation fleet could be found and destroyed." Major General Felix said.
"It depends on your luck! It's not easy to find a warship in the vast ocean." Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardi said.
Although it only severely damaged the "Kaga" Battleship, it failed to sink it, which made Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardi feel a little regretful. However, it is pretty good to have such an effect. After all, they have already taken a huge advantage compared to the Island Nation fleet. The Island Nation fleet has been fighting for so long, but has not achieved any results. Instead, the losses are increasing. They are the most aggrieved.
"General, Radar discovered that the Island Nation fleet is accelerating!" a staff officer reported.
Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardi and Major General Felix quickly picked up the telescope.
I saw that the speed of the Island Nation fleet in the distance began to increase continuously. Although it was too far away, I couldn't see clearly. But it can be seen that the speed of the Island Nation fleet is indeed constantly increasing. Because when the cannon is fired, the flashing fire from the muzzle will illuminate the hull of the ship.
"Island Nation people are desperate." Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardi said.
"According to the information we have received, the Island Nation people's 'Kii-class' Battleship can reach a maximum speed of 29.5 knots. Our 'Kaiser class' Battleship is simply incomparable with it." Major General Felix said.
"Hmph! So what can we do? Let them catch up. Just pay attention to the steering and don't let them seize the Crossing the T. After their four ships 'Kii-class' Battleship catch up, we can also concentrate our firepower against them. With eight ships against four ships, we still have an advantage." Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardi said.
He did not see any threat to this change in the Island Nation fleet. He firmly believes that although 'Kaiser class' Battleship and 'Derfflinger class' Battleship have been in service for many years, apart from being inferior to 'Kii-class' Battleship in terms of firepower and speed, they are not weak at all in terms of defense, or even stronger. With twice the advantage, we can definitely defeat the four 'Kii-class' Battleship of the Island Nation fleet. Of course, in the next battle, German fleet may also suffer certain losses. There is nothing that can be done about this. In the battle, there will definitely be casualties. It is very difficult to defeat the enemy with zero casualties.
Major General Felix nodded, he also knew that the real war was coming soon. Island Nation people are going crazy and trying their best, but German fleet still has a great advantage. Therefore, they have a great chance of winning and there is no need to be afraid of the Island Nation fleet.
"Ask the Indian Ocean Fleet Battleship fleet how long it will take before they arrive. Whether they can defeat the Island Nation fleet in one fell swoop, or how many results they can achieve, depends on them." Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardi ordered.
"Yes, General." Major General Felix replied.
Once they cause further heavy damage to the Island Nation fleet, the Island Nation fleet will definitely retreat. At that time, you will need to rely on Indian Ocean Fleet to make a detour in advance to intercept. Otherwise, with the speed advantage possessed by the Island Nation fleet, it would undoubtedly be very difficult to kill them all.
The speed of the four ships 'Kii-class' and 'Battleship' was getting faster and faster, and soon increased to 29 knots. This speed has far exceeded German fleet. The fighting distance between the two sides is also constantly getting closer.
"Aim at the Germany people's flagship and concentrate your firepower to deal with them!" Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo gave the order with a serious face.
Four 'Kii-class' Battleship and forty 410mm Main Gun were assembled, and they fired fiercely at the 'König' Battleship.
At the same time, German fleet's five 'Kaiser class' Battleship and three 'Derfflinger class' Battlecruiser were also concentrating firepower to attack the 'Kii' Battleship. The 72 380mm Main Guns opened fire fiercely, and bullets rained down for a while.
The German fleet and Island Nation fleets have entered into a close combat.
