"General, the islanders' destroyers have retreated! They should have given up." Major General Mao Fu said with a smile. The heart that he had been hanging on for a long ti finally returned to his stomach.
When the destroyer of the island navy launched a violent lightning strike, this undoubtedly posed a great threat to the German expeditionary fleet. Those 450mm dium torpedoes can pose a deadly threat to every one of their battlecruisers. But fortunately, they escaped this disaster. Only the battlecruiser "Moltke" was damaged because of this. Moreover, none of them were serious injuries, but minor traumas. Such a loss is completely within the acceptable range.
When counterattacking the lightning strikes of the islanders, they also caused great losses to the destroyer formation of the island navy, sinking more than 20 destroyers. This made the navy of the island country have to give up and continue to launch lightning strikes.
"I wish they would continue to launch lightning strikes. In this way, we can kill all their destroyers. Without these destroyers, we can safely attack the remaining warships of the islanders. Otherwise, we have to I am always worried that those destroyers will take advantage of the chaos to launch an attack," Lieutenant General Spee said.
"Yes, General. However, the islanders are not fools. They naturally knew that lightning strikes would have no effect, so they had to give up." Major General Mao Fu said.
"General, the navy of the island country has begun to retreat!" A staff officer suddenly reported.
Lieutenant General Spee and Major General Mao Fu imdiately grabbed the binoculars. They can clearly see that the navy of the island country is retreating.
"The commander of the islanders is still a very decisive person! Knowing that he was invincible, he retreated imdiately, neatly and without procrastination." Lieutenant General Spei said.
"Yes, General. Such generals are still very capable. But unfortunately, we will not let them go. They still have 14 capital ships left, including three advanced battlecruisers. For the expedition fleet, there is undoubtedly a certain threat. Therefore, we cannot let them leave, we must eliminate them as much as possible. Only in this way can our safety be guaranteed. In the next action, you will be even more unscrupulous!" Major General Mao Fu said.
Lieutenant General Spee nodded. Their mission this ti is not just to defeat the navy of the island country. The ultimate goal is to use this to force the island country to admit defeat and withdraw from the colonies occupied by the island country. If this goal is not achieved, the mission of the expedition fleet will not be completed. Therefore, it is impossible for the navy of the island country to escape. The German Expeditionary Fleet must eliminate them all. At least, those capital ships should be killed as much as possible. In particular, the three 'King Kong-class' battlecruisers must all be sunk.
"Order the fleet and pursue imdiately! Prioritize the elimination of the three 'King Kong-class' battlecruisers of the islanders. Then the capital ships. As for the light cruisers and destroyers, it would be great if they could all be eliminated It's over." Lieutenant General Spee gave the order.
"Yes, General. Order all ships to pursue the island nation's fleet, and not leave a single one behind!" Major General Maufu's order was conveyed to all ships. Moreover, Lieutenant General Spei's requirents were further raised.
Lieutenant General Shi Pei smiled when he heard this, but didn't say much. It would be the best if all these warships of the combined fleet of the island nation's navy could be eliminated. This will be even more beneficial for the next battle of the expeditionary fleet!
The German expeditionary fleet imdiately began to accelerate, chasing the island navy combined fleet. All battlecruisers have increased their speed to 25 knots. This speed is nearly ten knots faster than the joint fleet of the island nation's navy. After all, those old battleships that have been in service for more than ten years or even longer have seriously slowed down the speed of the combined fleet's retreat.
At the current speed, within an hour at most, the expeditionary fleet will be able to catch up with the joint fleet of the island nation's navy and launch an attack.
"Your Excellency, the Germans are catching up. They have already won the victory, but they still refuse to let us go, and they insist on killing us!" Major Gentaro Yamashita's eyes were red and he was very angry.
"This is unavoidable! Since the Germans have already taken advantage, they will naturally find a way to maximize their advantage! If it were , I would not let this opportunity go." General Ijuin Goro smiled wryly.
"Your Excellency, Commander, why don't you allow the 'King Kong-class' battlecruiser to increase its speed, and escape first! Stay here and command the remaining battleships to et the enemy, and buy ti for Your Excellency Commander." Major General Gentaro Yamashita said through gritted teeth.
General Ijiin Goro shook his head: "Let's forget it. Even if soone is going to stay behind, it must be who should stay behind. Anyway, I am already dying."
"Your Excellency, Commander, if I lead the 'King Kong-class' battlecruiser and flee back, will I still survive?" Major General Gentaro Yamashita asked.
General Ijiin Goro fell silent for a mont. He knew that if he, the main general, died in battle but Gentaro Yamashita fled back, he would be regarded as a deserter. At that ti, in the end, I am afraid that there is still only the way to apologize by harakiri.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The battlecruisers of the German Navy began to fire. Although the distance between the two sides is still relatively far, it has already entered the effective range of the German Navy's 50-caliber 380mm main gun. This allows these battlecruisers to launch attacks on the combined fleet of the island nation's navies.
Heavy shells hit the sea one after another, splashing a column of water that soared into the sky.
The joint fleet of the island nation’s navy, like a bereaved dog, kept fleeing for their lives, trying to escape back to Tokyo Bay. That way, we're safe. But it's a pity that the German expeditionary fleet will never let them go! Still launching a fierce pursuit.
In order to get rid of the 'King Kong-class' destroyers of the island navy, the German Navy's expeditionary fleet specially gathered all the battlecruisers and concentrated their firepower on these 'King Kong-class' battlecruisers. Three "Mackenson-class" battlecruisers besieged the "King Kong" battlecruiser, and three "Derfflinger-class" battlecruisers besieged the "Hiei" battlecruiser. The remaining two 'Moltke-class' battlecruisers are attacking the 'Kirishima' battlecruiser, trying to sink or even severely damage the remaining three 'King Kong-class' battlecruisers of the island navy in a short period of ti. .
