"Open fire! Sink Germany's flagship!" Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo ordered with red eyes. Now he is like a gambler who has invested all his wealth. If he failed, he would really lose everything.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The five twin-mounted 45 times caliber 410mm main guns of the battleship 'Ki' roared loudly, slamming the shells one by one into the German fleet's flagship battleship 'King'. The other three 'Ki-class' battleships were also firing desperately.
However, these cannonballs all fell into the sea and had no other effect except splashing high water columns.
"Damn it!" Seeing this situation, Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo couldn't help but cursed.
"What is the combat distance now?" Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo asked.
"General, the fighting distance has been shortened to 18 kilometers." Captain Fukudome Shigeru replied.
"That's not enough. Close the distance further! The caliber of our main gun is larger than that of Germany. The closer the distance, the better for us!" Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo said.
If you fire from too far away, your sight will be affected at night and your artillery hit rate will be very low. Under such circumstances, only by closing the distance as much as possible can the Island Nation fleet's hit rate be improved.
"Yes, General!" Captain Fukudome Shigeru nodded. He also knows that now they are fighting German fleet again. If they have better luck in the battle and can sink the German fleet warship while keeping their own side intact, then they will win.
"Boom!"
A violent explosion sounded, and the number 'Kii', Battleship, shook violently. Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo quickly grabbed the handrail, otherwise, he would fall down.
"Damn it, report the damage!" Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo shouted.
"General, After Deck was hit. The No. 5 main turret is stuck and cannot rotate anymore. It is temporarily unable to shoot!" A staff officer soon reported.
"Can it be repaired?"
"Yes, but it will take time!"
"I order you to repair it in the shortest possible time!" Yoshida Zengo ordered with a dark face. With the loss of one main turret, the firepower of the 'Kii' Battleship dropped by one-fifth. This made their situation, which was already at a disadvantage, even more difficult.
"Hi, General!"
On the other side, the eight Capital Shipss of German fleet were also firing wildly. Everyone knows that the real war is coming, and it is also the time to test them most. As the fighting distance gets closer, the possibility of them being hit increases. If you want to ensure your own safety, there is only one way, which is to sink the enemy's warship before it is sunk.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
German fleet's 50x caliber 380mm Main Gun, opened fire violently. The Armor-piercing Shell they launched was enough to easily penetrate the Capital Ships of the Island Nation fleet. Moreover, as the distance continues to shorten, the hit rate of German fleet is also constantly improving. This allows German fleet to continue to maintain its advantage in this naval battle.
"Island Nation people are really crazy! However, the crazier they are, the more beneficial it is to us. These 'Kii' Battleships are already the fastest. After getting rid of them, maybe we can attack other Island Nation warships. Even if they want to escape, it will not be that easy." Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardi said.
Except for the four 'Kii-class' Battleship ships in the Island Nation fleet, which are extremely fast, the speed of the rest of the Battleship ships is not so amazing. At least three ships 'Derfflinger class' and Battlecruiser will not be slower than them and can pursue German fleet.
"General, the Island Nation people are originally a crazy nation. However, they were lucky enough to become one of the world's powerful nations. However, this time their opponent is Empire. Empire will definitely defeat them completely and will never give them a chance to rise again!" Major General Felix said.
Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardi nodded. Although Germany has many strong enemies this time, they all firmly believe that Germany will win in the end.
"Boom!"
A 410mm artillery shell hit the side of the Battleship 'König'. A 150mm Secondary Gun was blown up, detonating a bunch of secondary battery shells and igniting a fire.
The firelight illuminated the hull of the Battleship ship 'König', and it could be seen from a long distance away.
"Damn it! Let the damage control personnel put out the fire quickly!" Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardi ordered.
The fire will serve as a guide for the enemy, which will further increase the possibility of 'König' number Battleship being hit.
In fact, this was exactly what happened. The four ships of the Island Nation fleet, 'Kii-class' and 'Battleship', seized this opportunity to fire fiercely at the 'König' Battleship. Moreover, the impact point is getting closer and closer.
Just two minutes later, a 410mm artillery shell hit the 'König' No. Battleship again. The shell penetrated the front deck of the "König" Battleship, blasting a large hole. More than a dozen sailors were killed on the spot.
"Asshole!" Seeing this situation, Lieutenant General Theodor Burchardi couldn't help but curse. He suddenly had a bad feeling that his flagship might not be able to survive this battle.
"Well done! Sink Germany's flagship!" Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo shouted excitedly. Now he finally sees the hope of sinking German fleet Capital Ships. If they can sink German fleet and Capital Ships as soon as possible, this will allow them to reverse the situation step by step.
"Boom!"
Just two minutes after Battleship, number 'König', was hit, German fleet fired back. A 380mm Shell hit the number 'Kii' Battleship again. The shell hit the superstructure of the "Kii" No. Battleship, not only blasting a big hole but also causing a raging fire.
The firelight illuminated the hull of the Battleship 'Kii', which also further improved the hit rate of German fleet.
"Damn it, the Germany people have eight Capital Shipss with a total of 72 main guns. We are at a huge disadvantage in such a duel!" Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo couldn't help but curse.
However, at this point, it is impossible to withdraw even if you want to. They can only fight with all their strength, hoping to sink German fleet's Capital Ships before they are sunk. Only in this way can they reverse the situation and win.
The fighting distance between the two sides continued to shrink, the hits continued to increase, and the battle became more and more fierce.
