Facing the fierce bombardment of German Expeditionary Fleet, Island Nation Navy was not helpless at all. A little further away, Island Nation Navy's three 'Kongo-class' Battlecruiser were seizing this opportunity to fire violently in an attempt to sink German Navy's Battlecruiser.
Even those destroyers are still using 80mm Naval Gun to fight back. Although, Naval Gun of this caliber is unlikely to pose any threat to German Navy's Capital Ships. But there is still no problem in dealing with artillerymen who operate secondary guns and rapid-fire guns. As long as the firepower of German Expeditionary Fleet can be weakened, it will be very good for them. At least this would allow them to rush closer to German Expeditionary Fleet's Capital Ships without any danger.
"Boom!"
An 80mm artillery shell hit a secondary battery emplacement on the Battlecruiser of the 'Mackensen'. Although the cannon was not destroyed, several gunners were torn to pieces. Broken limbs and broken arms were flying everywhere, and blood was flowing everywhere along the deck. However, at this juncture, no one cares about that at all. Almost everyone was fighting in blood and water.
"Boom! Boom!"
Shells continued to hit the destroyer 'Kamikaze', which made the destroyer very embarrassed. The superstructure was riddled with holes and a fire broke out. However, the destroyer 'Kamikaze', whose main parts were not damaged, is still charging.
"Boom!"
A 150mm Shell hit the bow of the destroyer 'Kamikaze', blowing up an 80mm Naval Gun.
Immediately afterwards, several 88mm shells hit the destroyer 'Kamikaze'. Shrapnel flew across the sky, killing all the Island Nation sailors exposed on the deck. But even so, it did not affect the charge of the destroyer 'Kamikaze'.
However, the good luck of the destroyer 'Kamikaze' ended here.
A 150mm Shell hit the power compartment of the destroyer 'Kamikaze'. After the power cabin was damaged, the speed of the destroyer 'Kamikaze' became slower and slower, and soon it was floating on the sea like a dead fish.
This gave German Expeditionary Fleet an excellent opportunity. After a series of shells, the destroyer 'Kamikaze' began to sink.
The destroyers 'Yayoi' and 'Kisaragi' were also moving through the hail of bullets. However, under the intensive shelling, the two destroyers rushed in front of the destroyer "Mackensen". When they were three thousand meters away, they were already beaten into a raging fire. Before they could reach a position where they could launch Torpedo, they were sunk.
The German Navy officers and soldiers on board the 'Mackensen' number Battlecruiser breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. Even Vice Admiral Spee and Rear Admiral Mauff are the same.
While the 'Mackensen' Battlecruiser was doing its best to deal with the enemy in front of it, the other eight Battlecruisers were also doing the same thing. For them, the formation of Island Nation Navy and Capital Ships is no longer important at this moment. It is important to deal with the lightning strikes of these Island Nation destroyers first. To destroy the enemy, you must first save yourself. Therefore, getting rid of these Island Nation destroyers is the top priority.
The 'Derfflinger' number Battlecruiser was also attacked by four 'Kamikaze-class' destroyers Encirclement Offensive. To ensure your own safety. 'Derfflinger' number Battlecruiser is full of firepower. The dense artillery shells were fired as if they were free of charge. On the sea surface, water pillars splashed into the sky.
Coupled with the protection of two other destroyers and a Light Cruiser, the 'Derfflinger' number Battlecruiser is undoubtedly very safe. However, there are always exceptions.
Island Nation Navy's destroyer 'Chikaze' is worthy of his name. In this battle, luck seems to be very good. Those cannonballs seemed to have eyes, and they all avoided him. This caused the destroyer "Chikaze" to rush to a place 1,500 meters away from the destroyer "Derfflinger" without any danger.
"Launch Torpedo!" Danshita Hironao Captain, the captain of the destroyer 'Chikaze', ordered loudly at the top of his lungs.
"Bang! Bang!"
Two 450 mm Torpedos rushed towards the number Battlecruiser named 'Derfflinger' at a fast speed. The speed of Torpedo was as high as 30 knots.
"Avoid!" The captain of the Battlecruiser number 'Derfflinger' issued the order to evade Torpedo. Although the waterline armor of the 'Derfflinger' number Battlecruiser is very thick, there is no need to resist it forcefully! If he is hit, no one knows what the consequences will be.
The huge 'Derfflinger' number Battlecruiser immediately began to turn, trying to point the bow of the ship in the direction of Torpedo's attack. In this case, the probability of being hit can be effectively reduced.
Perhaps it was because of the bad luck of the Battlecruiser of the 'Derfflinger'. Two Torpedos dodged one, but hit the waterline stern of the 'Derfflinger' on the other day.
"Boom!"
Torpedo exploded violently, and the huge power impacted the waterline armor of the 'Derfflinger' number Battlecruiser. But it is a pity that the 380 mm thick waterline armor firmly withstood the power of the explosion of this Torpedo, and there was no injury at all.
"Baga! Turn around immediately and reload Torpedo!" Danshita Hironao Captain ordered angrily.
The destroyer 'Chikaze' began to turn. But for a destroyer sailing at high speed, it is not so easy to turn. It needs to make a big circle on the sea.
At this time, the destroyer 'Chikaze' was very close to the destroyer 'Derfflinger', Battlecruiser and the other German warship. In particular, the destroyer 'Chikaze' also exposed its side to the muzzle at this time. The possibility of being hit naturally increases.
"Boom! Boom!"
The destroyer 'Chikaze' did not have such good luck this time. The dense shells hit him and set him on fire.
Before the destroyer 'Chikaze' completed its turn, a 150mm Shell hit its side, blasting a large hole below the waterline.
Seawater suddenly poured into the hull of the destroyer 'Chikaze', causing it to tilt rapidly, and the warship's speed was also affected.
Subsequently, more and more shells hit the destroyer 'Chikaze'. These shells almost tore the destroyer 'Chikaze' into pieces. All 70 Island Nation Navy sailors on the battleship were killed.
The destroyer that launches a lightning strike is like an assassin holding a dagger and needs to launch a close attack. This kind of battle has the greatest casualties. At the same time, it is also the most tragic.
