"Boom!"
A 105mm artillery shell hit the 'Kitakami' number Light Cruiser. Although for a warship with a displacement of more than 6,000 tons, a 105mm shell cannot cause much damage to it.
However, the continuous falling shells of German fleet's Encirclement Offensive have made the Island Nation officers and soldiers on the 'Kitakami' Light Cruiser almost crazy one by one.
"Your Majesty Colonel, the Germany people's blockade is very powerful, we can't rush through at all!" a staff officer reported.
Captain Masao Ueno, the builder of Light Cruiser number 'Kitakami', looked serious. If you can't break through the blockade of German fleet, you can only watch the German fleet and Capital Ships formations evacuate safely. What's even worse is that they are very likely to be sunk under the fierce attack of these German fleet Light Cruiser and destroyers. After all, the entire lightning strike formation only has two heavy mine cruisers and ten destroyers. German fleet invested ten Light Cruiser and ten destroyers. The gap in strength between the two sides is obvious.
"Order Torpedo to launch! Launch all Torpedo in a fan shape. Sink the Light Cruiser and destroyers of the Germany people in one fell swoop, let them know how powerful we are!" Commander Masao Ueno ordered.
Since we want to pursue German fleet's Capital Ships formation, we must break through German fleet's blockade. When there is no other way, the only option is to launch an attack. If it goes well, it may be possible to cause heavy losses to the Germany Light Cruiser and destroyers blocking them. This gives them the opportunity to break through the blockade.
"Order the sailors to be prepared. After Torpedo is launched, it must be reloaded in the shortest possible time!" Commander Masao Ueno ordered.
The ten quadruple Torpedo launch tubes equipped by the Light Cruiser number 'Kitakami' give it extremely terrifying lightning strike capabilities. But similarly, it is not easy to refill after launch, and it often takes a lot of time.
"Hi, Colonel!" The staff officer immediately went to give the order.
The ten quadruple 610 mm Torpedo launch tubes of the 'Kitakami' number Light Cruiser began to launch Torpedo one after another.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
With a dull sound, one Torpedo was launched from the Torpedo launch tube and fell into the sea. Then these Torpedo were shot towards the front of the 'Kitakami' number Light Cruiser at high speed. A total of forty Torpedos were distributed in a fan shape, almost covering several German fleets, Light Cruisers and destroyers.
The rate of fire of Long Spear torpedo is very fast, and the maximum rate of fire can reach a terrifying 50 nautical miles. Even German Navy's Light Cruiser and destroyers are much worse than this.
At this moment, Encirclement Offensive'Kitakami' Light Cruiser's Germany Light Cruiser and the destroyer did not realize that the crisis had come.
"Very good, continue the attack. We have already hit the damn Light Cruiser belonging to the Island Nation. As long as we maintain the intensity of our firepower, we will be able to sink them soon!" The captain of a Germany Light Cruiser said with satisfaction.
Although, using a Light Cruiser with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons to bully a Island Nation Light Cruiser with a displacement of half its own seems a bit too bullying. However, this is war, there is no such thing as fair or unfair.
"Boom!"
Suddenly a huge explosion sounded at the bow of the Light Cruiser. There was a violent explosion, as if the entire bow of the battleship was lifted out of the water, and then hit hard on the sea.
The sailors on the battleship were shaken and staggered one by one. Even the officers in the command tower fell to the ground.
"Shit! What happened? Are we hit?" the captain asked angrily.
"Sir, the situation is not good. The bow of our ship was hit by Island Nation's Torpedo." An officer reported.
"What? We were hit by Long Spear torpedo from Island Nation people?" The captain's face suddenly turned pale.
"Damage control is working hard to carry out damage control. But I'm afraid it will be difficult. The Torpedo we dealt with was so powerful that the underwater armor on the bow of the ship was completely torn apart and a big hole was blown out. Several adjacent cabins were blown up. The Long Spear torpedo of the Island Nation people is so powerful!" The officer looked frightened.
Even though their Light Cruiser had a displacement of tens of thousands of tons, it was still unbearable after being hit by a Long Spear torpedo.
"Asshole! Order all crew members to prepare to evacuate." Although the captain was unwilling to do so, he could only give the order to abandon the ship for the sake of the lives of most people. After all, battleships are expensive. But with the industrial strength of Germany, these warships are completely built in batches. In comparison, these experienced sailors are the most important.
At this time, explosions sounded continuously.
An explosion occurred on the side of a destroyer. Under the dazzling fire, the destroyer was broken into two pieces and quickly sank into the sea. Not a single one of the more than two hundred Germany sailors on the ship survived.
"Boom!"
Another ship, Light Cruiser, was also hit, and the entire stern of the ship was blown to pieces. A large amount of seawater poured into the battleship, causing the battleship to eventually sink into the sea with the stern down and the bow up.
In this round of lightning strikes launched by the light cruiser "Kitagami", two light cruisers and two destroyers of the German fleet were sunk. Such a result is undoubtedly very terrifying.
Although the cost of the Shiju Torpedo is not cheap, it is not even comparable to a destroyer. Not to mention the more expensive Light Cruiser. Being able to sink two Light Cruiser and two destroyers at once is already a very good result.
"Yoshi! Well done!"
Masao Ueno Colonel watched several battleships of German fleet being sunk and sinking into the sea, and he couldn't help but smile. Although there is no Capital Ships that can hit German fleet, it is undoubtedly very good to be able to send two Light Cruiser and two destroyers to the bottom of the sea at one time.
"Hurry up and load Torpedo, let's go after Germany's Capital Ships!" Commander Masao Ueno ordered.
The maximum speed of the 'Kitakami' number Light Cruiser can reach 34 knots. The maximum speed of the 'Fubuki-class' destroyer can also reach 35 knots. If they speed up to catch up, they can definitely catch up with the Capital Ships formation of German fleet.
Of course, even after catching up, it is still very difficult to say whether Torpedo can successfully sink German fleet's Capital Ships. After all, there are now 12 heavy cruisers, 10 Light Cruiser and 20 destroyers around the Capital Ships formation of German fleet.
