"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Heavy shells flew out of the muzzles of the guns and smashed into the enemy's battleships under the action of huge kinetic energy. The officers and men of the island navy and the German navy on the battlefield were doing their best to sink the enemy's warships. For them, if they want to survive, they have no other way but to kill the enemy.

The shells exploded in the seawater, splashing up columns of water that soared into the sky. This sea area is boiling.

Although, the combined fleet of the Navy of the island nation has a much greater number of warships. However, in the battle, they did not have any advantage. Even though they were besieging the German battleships, they were suppressed.

"Boom!"

After fifteen minutes of test firing, the German naval expeditionary fleet finally made its first hit. A shell fired from the battleship 'De Friingle' hit the battleship 'Satsuma' of the island nation's navy. Heavy 380 mm shells easily tore apart the two-inch-thick deck armor of the battleship Satsuma. The shells penetrated several layers of bulkheads before exploding, and with such great force that the entire bow of the battleship "Satsuma" was blown up to the ground. The fire then burned inside the battleship, so that the sailors of the island nation rushed into the fire to extinguish the fire before they even had time to put on their gas masks. I don't know how many people died under the poisonous smoke.

"Bastard! Put out the fire! "The captain of the battleship 'Satsuma' shouted Yoshishima Jutaro Osa loudly.

Once the fire spreads to the ammunition depot, it's bad. As a former dreadnought, the battleship "Satsuma" had a displacement of only more than 19,000 tons, not only weak armor, but also many compartments inside, and low defense. Even a raging fire can inflict fatal damage on a battleship.

This order caused more sailors from the island nation to rush into the fire and extinguish the fire with their lives.

"Your Excellency, the Satsuma has been hit, and the situation is very bad. The 380-mm guns of the Germans were so powerful that shells could tear everything apart. "Major General Gentaro Yamashita's face is very unsightly.

"It was not the former dreadnoughts that decided the victory, but the four 'Kongo-class' battleships. If we can quickly cripple or even sink the two battleships in front of the German battle line, then we still have a chance. General Goro Ijiin said.

The 356 mm guns of the four 'Kongo-class' battleships were the only ones capable of posing a threat to the Germans.

"Let's find a way to get closer to the Germans! Only in this way will the power of our main guns be able to be brought into play. Otherwise, those 305-mm shells will be difficult to hit the target. Major General Gentaro Yamashita said.

"It's very difficult, almost impossible. The Germans will not allow us to close the distance. Our warships, except for the four 'King Kong-class' that can soar to 25 knots, the rest of the warships are too slow. In speed, we simply couldn't catch up with those battlecruisers of the Germans. If the Kongo-class battlecruisers were allowed to pursue, it would only cause our Kongo-class battlecruisers to fall under siege by the Germans. Admiral Goro Ijiin shook his head.

So, that's the only way the battle can go. The navy of the island nation knows that it is not good for them, but there is no way to change it. Perhaps, they also pinned their hopes on the blessing of the ethereal god Amaterasu.

As time went on, the battle became more and more intense. In other words, the German Navy, through advanced quality and strong quality, began to gradually achieve hits. On the other hand, the navy of the island country has no other harvest than to fall into the sea and blow up fish. If this continues, it is undoubtedly clear which navy will win in the end.

"Boom!" A 343-mm shell fired from the battlecruiser Moltke hit the battleship Tango, an old battleship with a displacement of more than 11,000 tons, which was already 20 years old. The Russian battleship captured by the island nation's navy during the Russo-Japanese War. In Western countries, such battleships would have been decommissioned long ago. However, in the island navy, this is still an out-and-out capital ship.

The place where the shells hit was the waterline of the battleship 'Tango'. Although, the waterline armor of the battleship 'Tango' was up to 368 mm thick. However, the defense power of the old armor is very limited, and it cannot resist the new armor-piercing shells at all. Therefore, the 343-mm shells fired by the battlecruiser Moltke easily pierced the waterline armor of the battleship Tango and blew a large hole near the waterline of the hull. The sea poured frantically into the battleship through the hole.

The sailors of the island nation on the battleship "Tango" are desperately trying to plug the loophole. However, because the hole was too big and the water pressure was too strong, it could not succeed at all. In addition, the watertight compartment of an old battleship such as the Tango battleship was extremely unreasonable, and even if the watertight compartment was closed, the battleship would overturn due to too much water.

This undoubtedly announced the fate of the battleship 'Tango'.

"Your Excellency, the battleship 'Tango' was hit, and a large hole was blown out below the waterline. There is nothing the damage management personnel can do about this. Major General Gentaro Yamashita reported with a black face.

General Ijiin Goro also closed his eyes in pain. Although he knew that in this battle, there would definitely be many island battleships that would be sunk. But what he didn't expect was that so soon there would be battleships that would not be able to hold out. This undoubtedly shows that the German expeditionary fleet is even more powerful than he imagined!

"Let's evacuate all the people on the 'Tango'. In this battle, the Imperial Navy will inevitably suffer heavy losses. Keeping one more person can be regarded as preserving a little strength for the Imperial Navy. General Goro Ijiin said.

It was at this time that the battleship "Shikishima" hit the battlecruiser "Moltke". A 305-mm shell successfully hit the front main gun of the battlecruiser 'Moltke'.

"Hooray!" When the explosion sounded and a fireball rose from the deck of the battlecruiser Moltke, the sailors of the island nation cheered.

But then they were dumbfounded. Because, the battlecruiser 'Moltke' was simply intact. The main turret that had been hit was still firing as if nothing had happened.

This suddenly caused the morale of the combined fleet of the island country's navy to fall in an avalanche. After all, the enemy's main gun can easily take out your own battleship, and your main gun can't penetrate the armor of the enemy's battleship, doesn't it deserve to be ravaged by the enemy?
