"Fire! Sink the flagship of the Germans! Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo ordered with red eyes. Now he is like a gambler who has pressed all his net worth. If he fails, then he really loses completely.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The five twin 45-caliber 410-mm guns of the battleship Kii let out a roar of rage, smashing one shell after another into the battleship King, the flagship of the German fleet. The other three 'Kii-class' battleships were also firing desperately.

However, these shells fell into the sea and had no effect other than splashing high columns of water.

"Damn!" Seeing such a situation, Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo couldn't help but scold.

"What is the combat distance now?" Lieutenant General Yoshida asked.

"General, the battle distance has been shortened to 18 kilometers." Fukuru Shigeru replied.

"Not enough, close the distance further! Our main guns are larger in caliber than the Germans, and the closer the distance, the better for us! Lieutenant General Yoshida said.

Firing at too far away, as the line of sight is affected at night, and the hit rate of the shelling is very low. In such a situation, only by closing the distance as much as possible can the hit rate of the island nation's fleet be improved.

"Yes, General!" Fukuru Shigeru nodded. He also knew that now they were fighting hard with the German fleet. If they were a little more lucky in the battle and were able to sink the ships of the German fleet while keeping their side intact, they would have won.

"Boom!"

A violent explosion was heard, and the battleship 'Kii' shook violently. Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo hurriedly grabbed the handrail, otherwise he would have to fall.

"Damn, report the loss!" Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo shouted loudly.

"General, the rear deck was hit, the fifth main turret was stuck, it could no longer turn, and it was temporarily impossible to shoot!" Soon a staff officer reported.

"Can it be fixed?"

"Yes, but it will take time!"

"I order you to fix it in the shortest possible time!" Yoshida ordered with a dark face. With the loss of one main turret, the firepower of the battleship 'Kii' dropped by a fifth. This makes their already disadvantaged situation even more difficult.

"Hey, General!"

On the other side, the eight capital ships of the German fleet were also firing frantically. Everyone knows that the real big war is coming, and it is time to test them the most. As the engagement gets closer, so does the likelihood that they will be hit. If you want to ensure your own safety, there is only one way to sink the enemy's warship before it is sunk.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The 50 times caliber 380 mm guns of the German fleet, opened heavy fire. Their armor-piercing projectiles were enough to easily penetrate the capital ships of the island fleet. And, as the distance continues to close, the German fleet's hit rate is also increasing. This allowed the German fleet to maintain its superiority in this naval battle.

"The islanders are really crazy! The crazier they go, though, the better it is for us. These 'Kii' battleships are already the fastest, and after we get rid of them, we may be able to attack the other island warships. Even if they wanted to escape, it wouldn't be so easy. "Theodore? Lieutenant General Burchardi said.

Except for the four 'Kii-class' battleships in the island fleet, the rest of the battleships were not so amazing. At least three 'De Fringel-class' battle cruisers could not be slower than them and could hunt down the German fleet.

"General, the islanders are originally a crazy people. However, they were lucky, so they were able to become one of the world's great powers. However, this time their opponent is the Empire. The Empire will defeat them once and for all, and will never give them a chance to rise again! Major General Felix said.

Theodore? Lieutenant General Bourchadi nodded, although there were many strong enemies for Germany this time, they were all convinced that it would be Germany that would win in the end.

"Boom!"

A 410-mm shell hit the side of the battleship 'King'. A 150-mm secondary gun was blown up, and at the same time a bunch of secondary shells were detonated, igniting a large fire.

The flames illuminated the hull of the battleship 'King', which could be seen from a distance.

"Hell! Let the damage management personnel quickly extinguish the fire! "Theodore? Lieutenant General Bourchardi ordered.

The light of the fire will serve as a guide for the enemy, which will further increase the likelihood of the battleship 'King' being hit.

In fact, it was precisely because of this that the four 'Kii-class' battleships of the island nation's fleet seized this opportunity to fire fiercely at the 'King' battleship. And, the point of impact is getting closer and closer.

Just two minutes later, a 410-mm shell hit the battleship 'King' again. The shell pierced the foredeck of the battleship 'King', blowing a large hole, killing more than a dozen sailors on the spot.

"Bastard!" Seeing such a situation, Theodor? Lieutenant General Bourshadi couldn't help but scold. He suddenly had a bad premonition that his flagship might not be able to hold on in this battle.

"Well done! Sink the flagship of the Germans! Lieutenant General Yoshida shouted excitedly. Now he finally saw the hope of sinking the capital ship of the German fleet. If they were able to sink the capital ship of the German fleet as soon as possible, it would allow them to turn the tide step by step.

"Boom!"

Only two minutes after the battleship 'King' was hit, the German fleet was still in color. A 380-mm shell once again hit the battleship 'Kii'. The shell hit the superstructure of the battleship "Kii", which not only blew a large hole, but also caused a raging fire.

The light of the fire illuminated the hull of the battleship Kii, which also further improved the hit rate of the German fleet.

"Damn, the Germans had eight capital ships and a full 72 main guns. We are so at a loss in such a duel! Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo couldn't help but scold.

However, it has come to this point, and it is impossible to even quit. They could only fight with all their might, hoping to sink the capital ship of the German fleet before they were sunk. Only then will it be possible for them to turn the tide and thus achieve victory.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer, the hits are also rising, and the battle is becoming more and more fierce.
