The violent explosion of shells woke up Admiral Isakov and others. They put on their uniforms and hurried to the command tower to ask what was going on.

"Comrade commander, shelling, we were shelled by the large-caliber naval guns of the Germans! Their capital ship, right near us! A Russian staff officer said with a pale face.

"What? How can it be? Admiral Orlov exclaimed.

You know, their destroyers and light cruisers, however, were scattered around the perimeter of the capital ships, and searched within twenty kilometers of the vicinity to ensure that they encountered what the German fleet had not yet discovered. But now they were being shelled by the German fleet, which meant that the German capital ships were shelling from a distance of twenty kilometers from them.

"Comrade commissar, the light cruisers on the periphery have been identified, and the Germans are at least thirty kilometers south of us!" Another staff officer reported.

"What? Thirty kilometers away? How is that possible? The Chief of Staff, Admiral Viktorov, looked incredulous. It's almost beyond their realization.

Although, the firing range of the 410-mm gun, more than thirty kilometers. However, it is not possible for any country to hit the target at such a distance. That is definitely not possible with the existing technical conditions.

Admiral Isakov's face became very ugly. It dawned on him that even if they wanted to fight the German navy desperately, they seemed to be unable to do so.

After their whereabouts were discovered by the German fleet, Admiral Isakov knew that they would not be able to escape this time. Therefore, he saved his mortal heart to engage the German fleet. The aim was to make the German fleet pay a heavy price even if it destroyed them. After all, in a night battle, the distance between the two sides will be further shortened. In this way, the gap in the performance of the battleship will be narrowed to a minimum. However, it now seems that this is all wishful thinking.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The shells exploded on the surface of the sea, splashing high columns of water.

Although, under the shelling of the German fleet, no Burussian battleships were hit. However, the point of impact is getting closer. This is definitely not good news for the Russian fleet. Because this means that the capital ships of the Germans really have the ability to find targets at extremely long distances and launch attacks on them.

"Comrade Commander, what shall we do now?" Admiral Orlov asked.

The other high-ranking members of the Russian Navy also looked at Admiral Isakov, waiting for his answer.

"Order the fleet and continue southward at full speed. Let's try to get closer to the Germans! Admiral Isakov ordered.

Although at such a distance, the capital ships of the Germans were able to hit so accurately. This means that if they can't close the distance, they will always be in a position of being beaten passively. When the time comes, the Germans can take advantage of this advantage and wipe out all of them little by little.

Admiral Orlov was a little reluctant to speak.

Admiral Isakov understood what he meant, and said: "Now it is impossible for us to escape. Even if we turn around and retreat immediately, the Germans will pursue us desperately. Not to mention that the aircraft carriers of the Germans must have been nearby. As soon as it gets dark, they will definitely take off carrier-based aircraft to attack us. When the time comes, we will surely die! ”

Admiral Orlov's face was very ugly, but he still didn't say anything. He also knew that Admiral Isakov was telling the truth. The German fleet actually has such a ability to defy the sky, and they are undoubtedly more than lucky this time.

The faces of the other Russian naval leaders were also ugly. Everyone knows that this time, their lives may have entered the countdown. Maybe it won't be long before they all have to go to Ulyanov.

On the battleship Caesar, the flagship of the German fleet, radar crews were using the radar to determine the position of the Russian fleet, and then report the data to the turrets for an attack.

The four 'Caesar-class' battleships of the German fleet are all aiming at the flagship of the Russian Navy at this moment, the Bu Russia, to improve the hit rate by concentrating firepower. After all, even with the assistance of the artillery sighting radar, the hit rate will not be too high. After all, the radar performance of this era cannot be compared with later generations.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The lead ship of the German Navy, constantly firing. One after another, shells roared and smashed into the battleship 'Bu Russia'. For a time, artillery shells continued to fall around the battleship 'Bu Russia', splashing up columns of water that rushed to the sky.

The top brass of the Burussian Navy on the battleship "Bu Russia" turned pale one by one. The shells that fell could have endangered their lives at any time.

"Comrade commander, the Germans are so fast that even if we drive at full speed, we will not be able to close the distance between us and them!"

Admiral Isakov nodded, and now the lead ships of the German fleet, at long distances, had a huge advantage. In such a situation, it is natural that the Russian fleet will not have the opportunity to close the distance.

Unfortunately, even though they knew what the Germans were up to, they had no way to deal with it.

"Boom!"

A 410-mm plank hit the side of the battleship 'Burussia'. A 150-mm secondary gun was blown off the spot, and several artillery pieces were killed.

"Damn it!" Many Russian generals scolded. As if to hide the panic in my heart. After all, being hit by the naval guns of the German Navy meant that more shells would hit them in the future. In that case, the consequences will undoubtedly be more serious.

After the first shell was hit, the subsequent shelling of the four 'Caesar-class' battleships of the German fleet became more accurate. The impact points of the bullets were closer and closer, which made the faces of the Russian generals on the battleship "Bu Russia" pale.

This feeling of watching oneself approach to death step by step will undoubtedly make people collapse.

Admiral Isakov was also a little tearless, and this was definitely not the decisive battle with the Germans that he expected. Although he had known for a long time, even in a decisive battle with the German fleet, they would have no chance of winning at all. However, he hoped to be able to lead the Russian fleet and bravely die to the death, so that he could be killed after a fierce battle with the German fleet. In this way, the German fleet could more or less pay a certain amount of losses. At the same time, they were able to die a little more heroically. But now, they are doomed to a suffocated death.
