"Your Excellency Commander, please leave the 'Suruga' immediately. We have been hit again. The stern steering gear has been blown off and a large amount of water is flooding in. A big hole has also been blown out near the waterline on the side. What's even worse is that most of the loopholes that have been blocked before have also been blown open." The captain reported with a look of despair.

In the previous battle, the number 'Suruga' Battleship had been hit many times. This caused 'Suruga' number Battleship to have been greatly harmed. Even with the efforts of damage control personnel, the battleship was able to continue fighting. However, the two shells that had just been hit gave them no hope.

Now, seawater is pouring into the ship from various loopholes. Soon the battleship would be sunk. This is undoubtedly a very big blow to the Island Nation fleet.

"Sir Commander, how about we go to the 'Ōmi' number?" Major General Suzuki Yoshio suggested.

Lieutenant General Takasu Shirō thought for a while and shook his head, "Go directly to the 'Mutsu' number at the back!"

Lieutenant General Takasu Shirō knows that after the 'Suruga' number Battleship is sunk, the 'Ōmi' number Battleship located behind the 'Suruga' number Battleship will become the new attack target of the Germany people. Considering the powerful firepower of German fleet, it is estimated that 'Ōmi' number Battleship will not last long. When the time comes, will they need to escape from 'Ōmi' number Battleship again? Rather than that, it is better to take one step and escape directly to the number 'Mutsu' Battleship.

Of course, if all Battleships of 'Ōmi' were sunk, then Island Nation Navy would have lost two Capital Shipss in this naval battle. Such losses are undoubtedly very heavy. In order to preserve their strength, they may have to choose to retreat and give up this mission. Otherwise, Island Nation will also pay a greater price for this.

"Hi, Mr. Commander!" Major General Suzuki Yoshio replied.

After Lieutenant General Takasu Shirō and Suzuki Yoshio evacuated the 'Suruga' Battleship, in less than five minutes, the huge Battleship, with a displacement of more than 40,000 tons, sank into the sea.

"Well done! We have sunk one Capital Ships with Island Nation! Now, change the target and sink their second Capital Ships!" Otto? Lieutenant General Schneewind looked happy.

There are only four Capital Shipss in the Island Nation fleet. After one was sunk, there were only three ships left. And German fleet still has five Capital Ships. They will undoubtedly have a greater advantage in the next battle.

The five Capital Shipss of German fleet stopped their bombardment one after another and began to shift targets, pouring artillery shells on Battleship's 'Ōmi' of the Island Nation fleet. In this naval battle, German fleet's advantage became more and more obvious.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Five German Navy and Battlecruiser, with a total of 45 381mm Main Gun, began to fire on the Island Nation fleet. Dense shells continuously hit the number Battleship named 'Ōmi', and then fell around it, splashing high water columns.

"At the current speed, if we are lucky, we will be able to deal with Island Nation and one Capital Ships in half an hour! In this case, we can deal with all Island Nation and one Capital Ships before dawn, and then calmly evacuate this coast." Lieutenant General Otto Schneewinter said with a smile.

If they can get rid of four Island Nation Capital Ships in this battle, this will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to Island Nation Navy. This will make the situation in the Pacific Ocean area further develop in a direction that is beneficial to Germany. Although Island Nation Navy is building warships aggressively, more warships will be in service soon. However, the construction of battleships is inherently very time-consuming. Perhaps by then Germany will be able to spare his hands to reinforce Pacific Theater.

"Yes, General. But we have to prevent the Island Nation people from escaping. If they want to escape, it would be very difficult to keep them here. Not to mention that the Torpedo people from the Island Nation people are very scary." Major General Abraham said.

Otto? Lieutenant General Schneewind nodded. "I hope these Island Nation people can fight to the death like their army compatriots! In this case, we can kill them all."

Major General Abraham couldn't help but laugh. Island Nation's Army's madness was scary. But in the face of the powerful firepower of German military, there is still only one way to die.

"In addition, order our cruiser formations and destroyer formations to be careful of lightning strikes from Island Nation people! The Torpedo, which can reach a speed of 50 knots, a range of 22 kilometers, and a caliber of 610 mm, is really terrifying. I really don't know how those Island Nation people could develop such a terrifying Torpedo." Otto? Lieutenant General Schneewindt was speechless.

"Your Excellency Commander, soon we will have the same Torpedo. Empire's ordnance research department has made breakthrough progress. By then, all Empire warships will be able to replace this The large-caliber Torpedo. Even our Torpedo Bomber will be able to carry the large-caliber Torpedo. By then, the Imperial Navy will be even more powerful," said Major General Abraham.

Otto? Lieutenant General Schneewinter is convinced of this. The current German Navy is definitely the most powerful navy in the world. Even if Island Nation Navy has Torpedo with good performance, it is not enough to give them the strength to defeat German Navy.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The fierce naval battle continued. German Navy's five Capital Ships concentrated their firepower on Island Nation Navy's 'Ōmi' number Battleship. Naturally, Island Nation Navy will not sit still and wait for death. Their three Battleships are also firing at the 'Blücher' number Battlecruiser. However, maybe German fleet has better luck tonight, or maybe Fire-control Radar is really powerful in a night battle environment, which makes the Island Nation fleet's bombardment have a low hit rate.

Even the number 'Blücher' Battlecruiser was indeed hit. However, those injuries were not fatal. On the other hand, under the guidance of Fire-control Radar, the hit rate of German fleet is relatively impressive.

When the naval battle progressed to 2:38 in the morning, German fleet hit the 'Ōmi' number Battleship frequently, and the superstructure had been completely ignited, just like a blazing torch. German fleet's shells are still hitting the 'Ōmi' number Battleship, further deepening the damage of the Battleship, and it seems that it will soon follow in the footsteps of the 'Suruga' number Battleship.

The situation has undoubtedly become more unfavorable for the Island Nation fleet.
