"Boom!"

A German fleet destroyer was hit by a 610mm Heavy Torpedo, and the entire battleship was broken into two pieces when the explosion occurred. The power of Long Spear torpedo is fully demonstrated in the battle.

But unfortunately, despite the amazing power of Island Nation Navy and Long Spear torpedo, they still could not win this naval battle for them. The gap in strength between the two sides is too great, and it cannot be reversed with just one weapon.

"Boom! Boom!"

A destroyer of the Island Nation fleet was continuously 150mm Shell, and the entire destroyer burned like a burning fireball. And this also allows more German warship to accurately hit the destroyer with shells.

Soon, the Island Nation destroyer sank due to too many bombs.

Although, the 610 mm Long Spear torpedo of Island Nation Navy caused considerable losses to German fleet. But the final result was that most of the warships in the lightning strike formation of the Island Nation fleet were sunk.

Except for the light cruiser "Northern Shang", which led two destroyers to attack the German Navy's battleship formation, the remaining one light cruiser and eight destroyers were all sunk by the German fleet. Of course, the German fleet also paid a lot of losses for this. Four light cruisers and five destroyers were sunk. Such losses are already greater than those of the island nation's fleet.

However, if you include the losses of the two Capital Shipss in the previous Island Nation fleet, then the losses of German fleet will be relatively small. After all, the cost of Capital Ships is much more expensive than other small and medium-sized warships.

From another perspective, if it weren't for the Light Cruiser formation and destroyer formation of German fleet, which blocked the lightning strike formation of the Island Nation fleet. Once these lightning strike formations were allowed to launch a lightning strike on the Capital Ships formation of German fleet. That dense 610mm Heavy Torpedo is enough to make the Capital Ships formation of German fleet drink a pot. Once a Capital Ships is hit or even sunk by a Torpedo of the Island Nation fleet, the consequences will undoubtedly be more serious. Therefore, it is undoubtedly very worthwhile to lose a few Light Cruiser and destroyers to eliminate this crisis for German fleet.

Of course, although the lightning strike formation of the Island Nation fleet suffered heavy losses. But they still didn't give up. 'Kitakami' Light Cruiser, with two destroyers, is accelerating to catch up with the Capital Ships formation of German fleet.

On the 'Mutsu' number Battleship, Lieutenant General Takasu Shirō and Major General Suzuki Yoshio are waiting for news of the lightning formation. They hope that the Lightning Strike Formation can succeed in this attack, damaging and even sinking multiple Capital Shipss like German Navys in one fell swoop. In that case, they may be able to regain their disadvantage. It can even turn defeat into victory.

However, they soon realized that all this was just their extravagant hope. Although their lightning strike formation is very powerful, it is undoubtedly very difficult to achieve the victory they expect.

"Commander Your Excellency, there is news about the lightning strike formation." A staff officer reported.

"Say it!" Lieutenant General Takasu Shirō said.

"The lightning strike formation sank four light cruisers and five destroyers of the German fleet. However, except for the light cruiser "Northern Shang" and two destroyers, all the warships of our lightning strike formation were also sunk," the staff officer reported.

Lieutenant General Takasu Shirō couldn't help but frowned. Although the results of the Lightning Strike Formation were not small, there was obviously a huge gap between the results and his expectations.

"Your Excellency Commander, the Light Cruiser of the Germany people are all huge warships with tens of thousands of tons. It is already very good to be able to sink four of their Light Cruiser and five destroyers." Major General Suzuki Yoshio said. Although they were a little disappointed, this was the result after all, and they could only accept it.

Lieutenant General Takasu Shirō nodded. "Yes! It seems that I had too much hope. In this naval battle, we still lost and were unable to win, let alone help the army."

"Your Excellency Commander, we have tried our best. Germany people are too powerful, and there is nothing we can do." Major General Suzuki Yoshio said with relief.

"Where are the 'Kitakami' Light Cruiser and the other two destroyers? Are they out of danger?" Lieutenant General Takasu Shirō asked.

For the Island Nation fleet, every battleship is now very valuable.

"Your Excellency Commander, the Light Cruiser 'Kitakami' and the two destroyers have broken through the blockade of German fleet and are pursuing the Capital Ships formation of German fleet." the staff officer said preciously.

Lieutenant General Takasu Shirō couldn't help but his eyes lit up. He originally wanted to order the 'Kitakami' Light Cruiser and the two destroyers to return. However, he still held back after the words reached his lips. He still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that the 'Kitakami' Light Cruiser and the two Island Nation Navy destroyers could once again create miracles.

"Send Telegram to Ueno-kun and tell him to pay attention to his safety! If he can sink Germany's Capital Ships, he will be the hero of the entire Empire!" Lieutenant General Takasu Shirō said.

"Hi, Mr. Commander!" The staff officer immediately went to send Telegram.

On German fleet's 'Blücher' number Battleship, Lieutenant General Commander Otto? Schneewinter and Chief of Staff Major General Abraham both looked a little ugly. The damage reports of the Light Cruiser formation and the destroyer formation have been placed in front of them. Such losses were completely beyond their expectations.

"God! It's unbelievable. Those broken ships of the Island Nation people can actually cause us such heavy losses!" Otto Lieutenant General Schneewind looked in disbelief. In his eyes, those Island Nation Navy, Light Cruiser and destroyers are indeed no different from broken ships. At least compared to German Navy, Light Cruiser and destroyers, the gap is really too big. However, the current lightning strike formation of Island Nation Navy has caused huge losses to German fleet.

"General, it seems that the Long Spear torpedos of the Island Nation people are indeed too powerful! According to reports from the surviving battleships, almost all of our Light Cruisers and destroyers were sunk by their Torpedos. One Torpedo can sink our Light Cruiser or destroyer. The power of Long Spear torpedo is much more powerful than our Heavy Torpedo!" said Major General Abraham.

Otto? Lieutenant General Schneewind nodded. "Even if these Battlecruisers of ours are hit by Island Nation people's Long Spear torpedos, the consequences will probably be disastrous!"

Although the Battlecruiser of German fleet has strong defense, if it is hit by Long Spear torpedo, even if it will not sink, it will at least be severely damaged. I have to admit that Island Nation Navy and Long Spear torpedo are indeed a dangerous weapon worthy of vigilance.
