"Boost speed, max speed!" Captain Tsukamoto Kuma, the captain of the destroyer "Hurricane" of the island navy, gave the order with a hideous face.

Captain Tsukamoto knew that this sortie was almost a death and death. However, for the sake of Tokyo's safety, they had to find a way to sink all these German warships. Otherwise, Tokyo would have been ruined by these Germans.

The captains of the destroyers of the navies of other island countries also launched attacks with such a mortal mentality. This time, they really put life and death on the line, and only wanted to sink the German* warship and defend Tokyo.

More than a dozen destroyers of the island's navy rushed towards the German expeditionary fleet like arrows from the string. The first few battle cruisers to pass through the Uraga waterway became the target of the German Navy's destroyers.

It's just that the reaction of the island's navy is still too late. By the time they attacked, all the light cruisers of the German expeditionary fleet had passed through the Uraga waterway, and several destroyers had passed through the Uraga waterway. They immediately joined in the protection of the capital ship.

"Fire! Sink the destroyer of the islanders! ”

On the orders of the officers, the German expeditionary fleet launched a counterattack.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The 380-mm main guns, 150-mm secondary guns, 120-mm rapid-fire guns of the battle cruisers, the 150-mm naval guns of the light cruisers, and the 88-mm naval guns of the destroyers all opened heavy fire. Dense shells, like a storm, shrouded the destroyers of the island navy.

Shells continued to explode around the destroyer, splashing up columns of water that drenched the destroyer like a chicken in soup.

"Boom!"

A 150-mm shell hit the destroyer USS Hurricane, which was moving fast. Destroyers with a displacement of only a few hundred tons could not withstand even 150-mm shells. A large hole was blown out of the bow deck. At the same time, the speed of the advance of the battleship was affected as a result.

"Yaga!" Captain Tsukamoto couldn't help but scold.

But then, the shells of the German expeditionary fleet seemed to be more violent, albeit mostly small-caliber shells. However, such a dense shell is still not something that a small warship such as the destroyer "Hurricane" can withstand.

The entire hull of the destroyer "Hurricane" was blown to pieces, and a raging fire was ignited, which looked very bad.

Just a few minutes later, the destroyer Hurricane sank into the sea due to severe damage to its hull. The torpedoes carried on the destroyer did not even have a chance to be launched. Not to mention the threat to the battlecruisers of the German Navy.

The destroyers of the navies of other island nations did not end much better than the destroyer "Hurricane". Under the heavy fire of the German expeditionary fleet, the destroyers were blown up one after another.

In particular, the destroyers, destroyed by the 380-mm guns of the battle cruisers, were even more miserable. The power of the 380-mm shells was too great, and if one shot went down, it would almost be the end of the ship's destruction.

The charge of the destroyer formation of the island navy was very tragic. Even though they knew that they would die or die, none of them were frightened, and they continued to charge desperately until their battleship was destroyed by the powerful artillery fire of the German expeditionary fleet.

In the end, more than a dozen destroyers of the island nation's navy were all sunk, and none of them survived. Only a handful of these destroyers had the opportunity to fire torpedoes. However, the torpedoes fired in a panic could not pose any threat to the capital ships of the German expeditionary fleet.

By the time the battlecruiser Mackensen, the flagship of Vice Admiral Spee, commander of the German Expeditionary Fleet, passed through the Uraga waterway, all the destroyers of the island navy had been wiped out. The sea was littered with the wreckage of warships and the soldiers of the island nation who fell into the water. After the previous decisive battle with the Combined Fleet, the officers and men of the German Expeditionary Fleet no longer took the initiative to rescue the sailors of the island countries who had fallen into the water. They knew that after the defeat, the soldiers of the navy of those island countries did not want to live at all. So, there is no need to waste energy trying to rescue them.

"General, just now those destroyers of the remnants of the island country's navy launched an attack on us. I have to admit that they are very heroic. But I also think they're stupid. Because, their attacks have no effect at all, they just waste some of our shells. It is hard to imagine that those island people dared to launch such an attack when they knew that the strength of our fleet was far superior to theirs, it was simply self-defeating! Major General Mao Fu sighed.

"These islanders have always been like this. It's as if their heads are caught in the door. However, I got used to it later. If it doesn't work at all, then it doesn't. At least, after we used the shells on them, there were relatively not so many shells used to shell Tokyo. Lieutenant General Spee said.

"Yes, General. Maybe that's what the islanders have in mind, otherwise, I really can't figure out why they would launch a suicidal attack on our fleet! Major General Maofu said.

"Order the fleet to head for Tokyo! This time, we are going to destroy the capital of the islanders. Let the people of the island know that if they do not accept the conditions of the Empire, they will pay an unimaginable price for it! Lieutenant General Spee ordered.

"Yes, General!" Major General Maugf nodded, and immediately conveyed Lieutenant General Spee's order.

The fleet formed a warning formation and approached Tokyo. Being able to destroy the capital of a country is enough for every officer and soldier of the expeditionary fleet to be proud of for a lifetime.

Of course, the killing behind this is not something they care about.

Tokyo, the island's domestic cabinet still has not come up with a feasible solution. Because of the resolute attitude of the army, it was simply impossible for Prime Minister Shigenobu Okuma and others to want the government of the island country to accept the conditions put forward by Germany.

When a naval commander reported the battle situation to Admiral Yashiro Rokuro, Admiral Yashiro Rokuro's face suddenly became very ugly.

"Gentlemen, the destroyer formation of the Navy has all been shattered. The Navy has contributed all its strength to this battle! General Rokuro Yashiro said.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the German warships are approaching Tokyo, so let's find a place to hide first!" After Okaichi finished speaking, he left the Prime Minister's Office.

The other ministers of the island also looked for hiding places with ugly faces.

At 7 a.m., the German expeditionary fleet reached the sea, less than ten kilometers from Tokyo. With the order of Vice Admiral Spee, the German expeditionary fleet began the shelling of Tokyo.
