"General, the distance is too far and the hit rate is not guaranteed. We gathered eight capital ships for concentrated fire, and although we hit the target many times, we still couldn't sink them! "On the battleship 'King', Rear Admiral Felix said.

Theodore? Lieutenant General Bourshadi nodded, and from the first 30 kilometers of shooting, now it has been reduced to 26 kilometers. Although the hit rate has increased a lot, it is still low and scary. Of course, this is already much better than a purely no-gun sighting radar. The main ships of the island country's navy do not have gun-sighting radars, and now they can only be beaten passively, and they have no power to fight back at all.

"At least it proves that the performance of our gunsight radar is still very good. In this respect, we are once again leading the world. It is impossible for such a small country as an island country to compare with us! "Theodore? Lieutenant General Burchardi said.

"However, if we want to sink all the capital ships of the island country's navy, I don't know how long it will take. If all the shells are gone, they won't be able to sink them all. "Theodore? Lieutenant General Bourchadi frowned.

"Your Excellency, Commander, we may be able to close the distance even further. Even if the distance is reduced to 20 km, or even closer, it will be difficult for the capital ships of the islanders to hit us. After all, fighting in a night environment, and the island navy does not have a gunnery radar, their hit rate will be scary! Major General Felix said.

"Well, let's do it! Close the distance even further to improve the hit rate! "Theodore? Lieutenant General Bourchardi ordered.

The battleship formations of the Pacific Fleet of the German Navy deliberately closed the distance. It was not until the distance of 25 kilometers that the sea search radar of the island nation's navy spotted the capital ships.

"General, the Germans have been discovered, a total of eight capital ships!" Fukuru Shigeru Osa reported to Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo.

"Eight capital ships? It seems that this is the lead ship of the Pacific Fleet of the Germans. The lead ship of their Indian Ocean Fleet may already be on its way. We have to seize the opportunity to get rid of them as soon as possible. Otherwise, there will be a lot of surprises in this naval battle! Lieutenant General Yoshida said.

The performance of the lead ships of the German Navy was so strong that they did not expect. This greatly affected the confidence of Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo because of this. The German Navy was a huge threat to them with only eight capital ships, and if the other seven capital ships arrived, wouldn't they be completely at a disadvantage? In that case, the consequences will be even more serious.

Furushi Daisa also nodded repeatedly, and the capital ships of the German Navy were able to spot them at an ultra-long distance and then open fire. Although the hit rate is low, it is already very good. This has shocked them very much for the navy of the island country.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

380 mm shells continued to hit the battleship Nagato, adding to the damage of this huge battleship. Although, these injuries are not fatal. However, the combat effectiveness of the battleship "Nagato" continued to decline. After all, in addition to the four 45-caliber 410-mm guns, those sighting equipment are also very important. Once those devices are damaged, it is almost impossible to hit targets at long distances. In that case, even if there is a strong firepower in the air, it will not be effective if it cannot hit the target.

The battleship "Nagato" finally entered the battle line, although the superstructure was seriously damaged, but it managed to hold on and escape, which also made the officers and men, including Tokunaga Daisa, breathe a sigh of relief.

It's just a pity that the German Navy seems to have been staring at them all the time. Even when they were hiding in the battle line, the eight capital ships of the German Navy kept tilting their shells at it.

As the distance got closer, the lookout on the mast could faintly see it with a telescope. After all, the sky-high fire could be seen far away under the night sky.

"How far are we from the Germans?" Lieutenant General Yoshida asked.

"General, at the moment we are at least 22 kilometers apart!" Fukuru Shigeru reported.

"Order the ships to open fire! Target the first battleship on the enemy's battle line! Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo ordered.

Although, this distance is within the range of the capital ships of the Navy of the island nation. However, it is very difficult to hit a target at such a distance even during the day. Not to mention that it's still night. It can be said that firing now is simply a waste of shells.

But Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo has no choice, if he doesn't fire all the time and passively fights, it will only make the morale of the troops continue to fall. Even if you can't hit the German Navy's warships, it would be very useful if you could interfere with them in the slightest.

Perhaps, the crisis of the battleship "Nagato" can be alleviated. It is very difficult to say how long this battleship, which was fired upon by eight capital ships of the German Navy, was able to hold out.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Under the orders of Vice Admiral Yoshida Zengo, 12 battleships of the island nation's navy also began firing.

Orange-red flames flashed in the muzzles, and one after another, shells whistled and smashed into the German fleet in the distance. But, alas, at a distance of more than twenty kilometers, it is undoubtedly very difficult to hit the target. The impact points of these capital ships of the navy of the island countries are very far away, and the threat posed to the capital ships of the German navy is almost negligible.

The German fleet simply ignored the shelling of the island's navy, and they still concentrated their firepower on the battleship 'Nagato', trying to sink the battleship, which had already suffered a lot of wounds. As the saying goes, it is better to cut off one of its ten fingers than to hurt it. The elimination of the battleship "Nagato" will undoubtedly be a major blow to the navies of the island countries.

"Hell! Damn the Germans, how come they keep an eye on us. Could it be that they really thought they could sink us at such a distance? Tokunaga Daisa's face was as black as the bottom of the pot.

He never imagined that the battleship he commanded would become the primary target of the German Navy in this battle. And, it will be hit so many times. Although, now all the injuries are just a few minor injuries. However, these minor injuries continued to accumulate and had a great impact on the battleship Nagato.

For example, sighting equipment has been destroyed. Now the firing of the battleship 'Nagato' is really a waste of shells. There was no other role than emboldening the officers and men on the battleship.
