"Increase the speed, increase the speed to the maximum!" Tsukamoto Katsukuma Captain, the captain of the destroyer "Swift Wind" Island Nation Navy, gave the order with a ferocious look on his face.
Tsukamoto Katsukuma Captain knew that this attack was almost a narrow escape. However, for the safety of Tokyo, they must find a way to sink all the warships owned by Germany. Otherwise, Tokyo will be destroyed by these Germany people.
The captains of other Island Nation Navy destroyers almost all launched attacks with such a death mentality. This time they really put life and death aside, they just wanted to sink the Germany* warship and defend the Tokyo.
A dozen Island Nation Navy destroyers rushed towards German Expeditionary Fleet like arrows from the string. The Battlecruisers that were the first to pass Uraga Channel became the targets of the German Navy destroyers.
However, Island Nation Navy's reaction was still too late. When they launched the attack, all Light Cruiser of German Expeditionary Fleet had passed Uraga Channel, and several destroyers had also passed Uraga Channel. They immediately joined in the protection of Capital Ships.
"Fire! Sink the Island Nation destroyer!"
Under the officer's order, German Expeditionary Fleet launched a counterattack.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Battlecruiser's 380mm Main Gun, 150mm Secondary Gun, 120mm Quick-firing Gun, Light Cruiser's 150mm Naval Gun, and the destroyer's 88mm Naval Gun all opened fire violently. The dense shells shrouded the Island Nation Navy destroyer like a storm.
The shells continued to explode around the destroyer, and the splashing water columns drenched the destroyer like a drowned rat.
"Boom!"
A 150mm Shell hit the destroyer "Swift Wind" which was advancing rapidly. A destroyer with a displacement of only a few hundred tons cannot even withstand 150mm Shell. A large hole was blown out of the bow deck. At the same time, the forward speed of the battleship was also affected.
"Baga!" Tsukamoto Katsukuma Captain couldn't help but cursed.
But then, German Expeditionary Fleet's shells seemed to be more violent, although most of them were small-caliber shells. However, such dense shells are still not something that a small warship like the destroyer 'Swift Wind' can withstand.
The entire hull of the destroyer 'Swift Wind' was blown to pieces and burst into flames, which looked very bad.
Just a few minutes later, the destroyer 'Swift Wind' sank into the sea due to severe damage to the hull. The Torpedo carried on the destroyer had no chance of being launched. Not to mention it poses a threat to Battlecruiser of German Navy.
The fate of the other Island Nation Navy destroyers was no better than that of the 'Swift Wind' destroyer. Under the fierce firepower of German Expeditionary Fleet, these destroyers were blown up one after another.
Especially the destroyer destroyed by Battlecruiser's 380mm Main Gun is even more miserable. The power of 380mm Shell is too great. If one shot is fired, the ship will be destroyed and everyone will be killed.
The charge of the Island Nation Navy destroyer formation is very tragic. Even though they knew they had a narrow escape, none of them were frightened and continued to charge desperately until their battleship was destroyed by the powerful artillery fire of German Expeditionary Fleet.
In the end, more than ten Island Nation Navy destroyers were all sunk, and no one survived. Among these destroyers, only a handful have the opportunity to launch Torpedo. However, Torpedo, launched in a panic, could not pose any threat to German Expeditionary Fleet's Capital Ships.
When German Expeditionary Fleet Commander Vice Admiral Spee's flagship 'Mackensen' Battlecruiser passed Uraga Channel, all the destroyers of Island Nation Navy had been wiped out. The sea is full of wreckage of battleships, as well as those Island Nation soldiers who fell into the water. After the previous decisive battle with Combined Fleet, the officers and soldiers of German Expeditionary Fleet no longer took the initiative to rescue those Island Nation Navy soldiers who fell into the water. They knew that after the failure, those Island Nation Navy soldiers did not want to live at all. Therefore, there is no need to waste energy rescuing them.
"General, just now the remaining destroyers of Island Nation Navy launched an attack on us. I have to admit that they are very brave. However, I also think they are very stupid. Because their attack has no effect at all and is just a waste. We only have some artillery shells. It's hard to imagine that those Island Nation people dare to launch such an attack when they know that our fleet is far superior to them. They are simply seeking death!" Rear Admiral Mauff said with emotion.
"These Island Nation people have always been like this. They feel like their heads are caught by the door. However, they will get used to it in the future. If it is useless at all, it is not that bad. At least, after we use the artillery shells on them, there will be relatively few shells used to bombard Tokyo." Vice Admiral Spee said.
"Yes, General. Maybe the Island Nation people have this idea. Otherwise, I really can't figure out why they would launch a suicide attack on our fleet!" Rear Admiral Mauff said.
"Order the fleet to march towards Tokyo! This time, we will destroy the capital of the Island Nation people. Let the Island Nation people know that if they do not accept the Empire's Conditions, they will pay an unimaginable price for this!" Vice Admiral Spee ordered.
"Yes, general!" Rear Admiral Mauff nodded and immediately conveyed Vice Admiral Spee's order.
The fleet approached Tokyo in a vigilant formation. Being able to destroy a country's capital is something that every Expeditionary Fleet officer and soldier can be proud of for a lifetime.
Of course, the killing behind this is not what they care about.
Tokyo, Island Nation's Cabinet still haven't come up with a practical solution. Because of the resolute attitude of the Army, it is simply impossible for Prime Minister Okuma Shigenobu and others to want the Island Nation government to accept the conditions proposed by Germany.
When a naval general reported the battle situation to General Yashiro Rokuro, General Yashiro Rokuro's face suddenly became very ugly.
"Gentlemen, the navy's destroyer formation has been completely destroyed. The navy has contributed all its strength to this battle!" General Yashiro Rokuro said.
"Everyone, German warship is approaching Tokyo. Let's find a place to hide first!" After Oka Ichinosuke finished speaking, he left Prime Minister's residence.
The other Island Nation Cabinet Ministers all went looking for hiding places with ugly faces.
At 7 a. m., German Expeditionary Fleet arrived on the sea less than ten kilometers away from Tokyo. Following Vice Admiral Spee's order, German Expeditionary Fleet began the bombardment of Tokyo.
