Jagged Germany

"Your Excellency, Captain, it's over, we're over! The stern ammunition depot has exploded, and the entire stern has been destroyed!" An officer reported to the captain of the battleship 'Owari', Kiyoshi Daitani, with a look of horror. road.

   "Hachi! Abandon the ship, abandon the ship immediately!" Commander Daiya Kiyoshi immediately ordered.

   Obviously, after suffering such a severe trauma, the fate of the battleship 'Owari' has been decided. No one can prevent the battleship from sinking. Under such circumstances, abandoning the ship to save life has become the last choice.

   "Hi, Your Excellency Captain!" The officer immediately issued an order.

  However, at this time, the entire battleship 'Owari' was in chaos. There are sailors snatching lifeboats or buoys everywhere. Everyone is not a fool, and naturally knows that under such circumstances, the battleship 'Owari' is over. If we don't move quickly, we might all die here.

  Actually, of the more than 1,400 people on the battleship 'Owari', less than a hundred people actually managed to escape. The rest of the people sank into the sea together with the battleship.

   The sinking of the battleship 'Owari' was undoubtedly a huge blow to the island fleet. This made their disadvantages in this naval battle even more obvious.

  However, while the battleship 'Owari' was slowly sinking into the sea, the island nation's fleet was also lucky and hit the battleship 'Great Kurführer' twice. One of the shells even blew up a transmission shaft, causing the speed of the battleship 'Grand Kurfürst' to drop continuously. Under such circumstances, Lieutenant General Theodor Burchard had no choice but to order the battleship 'Grand Kurfürst' to withdraw from the battle, leave the battlefield under the cover of night, and return to the Lion City Naval Base for repairs under the protection of the destroyer. If it continues to stay on the battlefield, the battleship "Grand Kurfürst" after its speed has dropped will definitely become the target of the frenzied siege by the destroyers of the island navy. If it is seized by the island nation's fleet and sunk, the loss will be great.

  Anyway, even if the battleship 'Great Kurführer' withdraws from the battle, the German fleet still has six capital ships. In terms of numbers, they are already in an absolute advantage. Defeating the island nation's fleet is even more certain.

   "We must ensure the safety of the battleship 'Grand Kurfürst', I don't want them to have any accidents!" Lieutenant General Theodor Burchard said. After losing the battleship 'King', he didn't want his fleet to lose any other battleships. In particular, the naval battle has just begun, and it is not known how long it will take until the end of the entire war. No one knows how many of these capital ships will be left after the battle is over. Even said, can it be left. Therefore, if you can keep one, it is one!

   "Okay, General!" Major General Felix nodded. It was still dark, and it was undoubtedly the best chance to evacuate. Once daylight comes, the chances of being found are much higher. At that time, the island nation's fleet can completely use submarines, destroyers or aircraft to destroy the battleship "Great Kurführer".

   "Order the ships, gather firepower, and kill the remaining two battleships of the islanders. Then we will go back and deal with their other warships!" Lieutenant General Theodor Burchard ordered.

  In addition to these four "Kii-class" battleships, the island nation's fleet also has many other warships. For example, the 'Tosa' that is about to arrive at the battlefield, the 'Ise', 'Hyuga' and 'Mutsu' that are still chasing, and the 'Fuso' and 'Mutsu' that are at the back. Yamashiro' No. Therefore, even four capital ships of the island nation's fleet have been sunk so far. But there is still a very long way to go before the complete elimination of the island nation's fleet.

   "Yes, General." Major General Felix replied.

  Now is undoubtedly the best opportunity. If the remaining two "Kii-class" battleships of the island nation's fleet can also be dealt with, then the German fleet will undoubtedly win a big victory in this naval battle.

   "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

  The remaining six capital ships of the German fleet aimed all their firepower at the battleship "Suruga", trying to sink the battleship in the shortest possible time.

  The battleship 'Suruga' is now the flagship of the island nation's fleet. When the shells fell like raindrops, the face of Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo in the command tower of the "Suruga" battleship was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

   "Baga! How could this happen?" Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo seemed a little incredulous of such a result. In this naval battle, their losses were too great, so big that it was completely beyond his expectations.

"General, what should we do now? Although the Germans have sunk one battleship and severely damaged one, they still have six, and we only have two. Six to two, we have almost no chance of winning." Colonel Fukushige was also pale.

  Although, during the battle, they also destroyed a battleship of the German fleet and severely damaged one. It is undoubtedly very good to be able to achieve such a result under an absolute disadvantage.

  But unfortunately, they are still at a disadvantage. And the disadvantages became more and more obvious. If this continues, I'm afraid they will all be sunk in a short time. At that time, in this naval battle, they will be completely powerless.

   "How long will it take for the 'Tosa' to arrive?" Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo asked.

   "General, the battleship 'Tosa' is coming, but it will take at least half an hour." Colonel Fukushige reported.

  The battleship 'Tosa' is now the second fastest battleship in the island nation's fleet after the 'Ki-class'. Now heading to the field at a speed of over 26 knots.

   "However, General, even if the 'Tosa' arrives on the battlefield, it may not be able to change the situation. The advantage of the German fleet is too great." Colonel Fukushige almost lost confidence.

  Although Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo is unwilling to accept this result, it is the fact that he cannot accept it. Even if the battleship "Tosa" arrived on the battlefield, it would not help the matter. The advantage of the German fleet is too great. Judging from the speed at which they sank the battleship 'Owari', it probably took less than half an hour to sink the battleship 'Suruga'. In this case, before dawn, these capital ships of the island nation's fleet may be all sunk.

   "Send a telegram to the commander, telling him that we have failed and must retreat! Otherwise, our capital ships will be lost here!" Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo made up his mind.
