'Damn!' Kii' has sunk, and now it's three to seven, and we're even more at a disadvantage! Lieutenant General Yoshida's face was gloomy, as if he could drip water. From heaven to hell, it was just a matter of a few minutes that Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo could hardly accept it.

When they sank the battleship King, which was in the German fleet, he thought they were lucky and might be able to turn the tide. However, the Kii was then sunk, and Vice Admiral Yoshida knew that they were still at a disadvantage, and the disadvantage was becoming more and more obvious. If you want to defeat the German fleet, I am afraid it will be even more difficult.

"General, the Tosa is coming. The Mutsu, Ise, and Hyuga are also speeding up. Just hold on for a while and they'll be there. Then we will be able to defeat the Germans! Fukuru said.

Vice Admiral Yoshida Zengo didn't say much, they had battleships coming quickly, but in the same way, didn't the German Navy also have reinforcements? Once reinforcements from the German Navy arrived, they had no chance of winning.

"Order the ships, gather firepower, and sink the lead ship of the German battle line! This time, we must sink each other in the shortest possible time! Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo ordered.

"Hi, General." Fukuru Shigeru nodded.

However, he knew that it was very difficult. Now they were only able to assemble the fire of three battleships to attack the enemy, while the enemy was able to assemble the fire of seven battleships to attack them. They are completely at an absolute disadvantage.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The main guns of the three 'Kii-class' battleships were firing frantically. One after another, the shells roared and smashed into the battleship "Elector" of the German fleet. Cannonballs continued to fall around the battleship, splashing columns of water into the sky. It's just that it seems dangerous. But in reality, the hit rate is still not high. Fighting under the night sky, the line of sight is affected, and it is difficult to increase the hit rate.

"How far is the battle now?" Lieutenant General Yoshida then asked.

"General, the current battle distance is 15 kilometers."

"Keep closing the distance! Bring the distance closer to ten kilometers or even closer! This time, we're going to fight the bayonets with the Germans. Our 410-mm guns, at close range, were enough to tear their battleship to shreds! Lieutenant General Yoshida said with red eyes. He's obviously been pushed to the punch, so he's going to do his best.

"Hey, General!" Fukuru Shigeru Osa faithfully conveyed Lieutenant General Yoshida's orders.

It's just that shortening the engagement distance is certainly beneficial to the island fleet, but in the same way, the hit rate of the German fleet will also increase. After all, the German fleet was assisted by artillery sighting radar, and the closer the distance, the more accurate the data obtained.

The island fleet relied on its speed advantage to forcibly close the distance, making the battle even more tragic. The German fleet could only try to keep the island fleet from occupying the T-shape. Of course, because the German fleet now has seven capital ships, it is not afraid to fight bayonets with the island fleet. They believe that even if they work hard, they will definitely win in the end.

"The engagement distance has now been reduced to less than 15 kilometers, which is already the optimal strike distance if it is during the day. However, it is now night, so the hit rate of the islanders is still not high. However, they still want to close the distance. Those guys are really crazy. "Theodore? Lieutenant General Burshadi said a little speechlessly.

The loss of one capital ship was nothing for the German fleet. They still have a firm grip on the battlefield.

"It's a pity that wars can't be won by going crazy! Our strength is much stronger than theirs. So, even if we go crazy, we are not afraid of them! Major General Felix said.

"Concentrate firepower and strive to sink another capital ship of the islanders in the shortest possible time! In that case, we'll be able to set the stage for victory. "Theodore? Lieutenant General Burchardi said.

"General, don't worry, you'll see it soon!" Major General Felix looked very confident.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The four 'King-class' battleships and three 'D-Fringel-class' battlecruisers of the German fleet rained shells on the 'Owari' battleship. The shells rained down like drops and smashed into the sea around the battleship Owari, splashing columns of water into the sky. Although the battleship Owari was a huge battleship with a displacement of more than 40,000 tons, it was still like a small ship in a storm, and it could capsize at any time.

"Boom!"

A 380-mm shell hit the battleship 'Owari', causing the superstructure of the massive battleship to begin to burn.

The light of the fire became the best guide, and the battleship 'Owari' at this moment was like a cannonball magnet, attracting a large number of cannonballs.

Perhaps it was because the density of shells was so great that the possibility of the battleship Owari being hit was very high. Almost every two salvos, a shell hit the battleship 'Owari'. You must know that the main guns of the German fleet all used automatic loaders, which allowed the main guns of the battleships to be raised to one shot a minute. In this way, every two minutes the battleship 'Owari' would be hit by a shell.

Despite the counterattacks of the island fleet, the battleship "Elector" was also hit from time to time. However, in comparison, many fewer shells hit the battleship Elector than the battleship Owari. So much so that under normal circumstances, if no miracle had happened, the battleship 'Owari' would have been sunk before the battleship 'Elector'. After all, if you look at the defense from the point of view, the defense of the battleship "Elector" is also superior.

The fierce battle lasted twenty minutes, and the battleship 'Owari' had already suffered a full 12 shells. The huge hull of the ship was already covered with bruises. Even a few injuries posed a fatal threat.

There is no doubt that the battleship 'Owari' held out until this time, and it was almost impossible to hold on.

Two minutes later, a 380-mm shell hit the Owari again. This time, the shell penetrated the No. 5 main turret on the aft deck. What's even worse is that at this moment, there are two 410-mm shells and hundreds of kilograms of propellant in the chamber of the main turret. These shells and propellants were detonated. The violent explosion blew a large hole in the stern of the battleship Owari. It is clear that the battleship can no longer be saved.
