Island Nation Navy's 'Kitakami' number Light Cruiser is now leading two destroyers to chase the Capital Ships formation that Germany is married to. Their speed has increased to 34 knots. This is already the maximum speed of the 'Kitakami' number Light Cruiser.
The ten quadruple 610 mm Torpedo launch tubes of the Light Cruiser number 'Kitakami' have been refilled and can be launched again. However, Masao Ueno Colonel is not going to launch casually this time. He won't waste any more ammunition before catching up with German fleet. Because he knew that maybe they only had one chance this time. If you miss it, you'll never get another chance. German fleet will definitely sink them all before they finish their next reload.
"Your Excellency Captain, this is Telegram from Your Excellency Commander!" a Communications Officer reported.
Masao Ueno Colonel took a look at Telegram, and his expression became serious.
Putting down Telegram, Colonel Masao Ueno glanced at the Island Nation Navy officers in the command tower, and then said, "Gentlemen, the Lightning Strike Formation is finished. Apart from us, there are only destroyers 'Asagiri' and 'Amagiri' left. The rest of the battleships have been sunk!"
The faces of all the officers became serious. Everyone knows that this time they may have a narrow escape from death.
"However, when other battleships were sunk, they killed four German light cruisers and five destroyers. This has caused huge losses to the Germans. Judging from the exchange ratio, we even made a profit. The only regret is that we have not been able to complete the goal so far. That is to sink the German capital ships! Here We have sunk two battleships in a naval battle. If we cannot sink the German battleships in the next battle, we will be completely defeated! This naval battle is very important, and we must defeat the Germans! So now we can only rely on us.
"Although German fleet is very powerful, their Capital Ships is surrounded by many cruisers and destroyers for protection. However, even if we try our best this time, we must completely defeat the Germany people! Only in this way can we defend Empire brings victory. Perhaps, we will be killed by the Germany people in this attack. However, as Empire warriors, it is our honor to sacrifice our lives for the future of the Empire!" Masao Ueno looked enthusiastic. At this moment, he was completely poisoned by Bushido spirit.
"For the Empire, sink the Capital Ships of Germany people!" Other officers also shouted.
"Very good, send Telegram to the destroyers 'Asagiri' and 'Amagiri' and let them charge with us!" Commander Masao Ueno ordered. Although they are weak, they are too weak in front of German fleet. However, Colonel Masao Ueno and others are extremely confident. Anyway, they have put their own lives and deaths at risk. As long as they can sink Capital Ships of German fleet, they don't care even if they are killed.
"Empire will win! His Majesty the Emperor is onboard!"
Shouting slogans, the remaining Kitakami, Light Cruiser, Asagiri and Amagiri destroyers of the Island Nation lightning strike formation began to accelerate their charge. As the warships charged at a high speed of 34 knots, the distance between them and the German fleet and Capital Ships formations was constantly getting closer.
On board the Battlecruiser of the 'Blücher', Lieutenant General Otto Schneewinter and Major General Abraham were discussing whether to continue to pursue the Island Nation fleet. Although they avoided the lightning strike of the Island Nation fleet, it also made them farther away from the Island Nation fleet. Although German fleet's Battlecruiser is relatively fast, there is no problem in catching up with the Island Nation fleet. However, that also takes a lot of time. By then, by the time they catch up, it will probably be dawn.
Once it gets dark, I'm afraid we will have to face attacks from Island Nation Navy's carrier-based aircraft or Army Air Force aircraft. Although German fleet has strong air defense capabilities. But no one can guarantee whether it will be sunk under the attack of aircraft all over the sky. Therefore, it is better not to take such a risk.
In addition, the lightning strike strength of the Island Nation fleet also left German fleet with lingering fears. If the Island Nation fleet launches another attack and seizes the opportunity to launch a large-scale lightning strike, the problem will be serious.
In the end, Otto? Vice Admiral Schneewind decided that the fleet would withdraw from the battle from now on. Finally, before dawn, we reunited with our own Aircraft Carrier Formation. In this case, it will not only provide Aircraft Carrier Formation with a stronger air defense firepower network. At the same time, it can also be sheltered under the aircraft carrier's escort fighters. Relatively speaking, it is undoubtedly much safer.
As for the attack on the Island Nation fleet, it is better to leave it to the aircraft carrier Carrier-based aircraft. The number of Carrier-based aircraft that can take off on the two 'Constellation-class' aircraft carriers is already very impressive.
After making this decision, Lieutenant General Otto Schneewinter ordered the return. It was at this time that they discovered the 'Kitakami' number Light Cruiser and two destroyers of the Island Nation fleet approaching at high speed.
"General, the Light Cruiser owned by Island Nation sank two of our Light Cruiser and two destroyers in one fell swoop. We have to guard against it!" Major General Abraham looked wary.
Otto Lieutenant General Schneewind nodded. "Let our escorts go out and sink the warships of the Island Nation people. Let everyone pay attention and be careful. Don't be hit by their Torpedos again."
"Yes, General!" Major General Abraham nodded.
Subsequently, German fleet dispatched three Light Cruiser and six destroyers, and launched Encirclement Offensive against Island Nation Navy's 'Kitakami' number Light Cruiser and two destroyers.
Although, these three battleships of the Island Nation fleet performed very bravely. They maintained a high speed, trying to break through the blockade of German fleet and launch a lightning strike on the Capital Ships formation of German fleet.
However, the cannonballs all over the sky fell like raindrops. Even German fleet's heavy cruiser and Battlecruiser later joined in. The 210mm Main Gun of the heavy cruiser, the 380mm Main Gun of the Battlecruiser, the Light Cruiser of the Island Nation Navy and the destroyers are all fatal threats.
Just ten minutes later, all three warships were hit one after another. Two destroyers were sunk first. The number 'Kitakami', Light Cruiser, was soon seriously injured. In the end, Torpedo had to be released from a long distance. However, even though German fleet was prepared, there was no result at all.
