The "Kirishimma" was finished, and although he did not want to admit it, Kato knew that no one could save the battlecruiser that the Imperial Navy was proud of.

Suddenly, the entire night sky exploded, and the sound of a huge explosion that covered the previous explosions exploded in the air, everyone in the bridge of the "6 Ao" trembled, and the corners of Kato's mouth twitched, no need to think about it, such a violent explosion must be the explosion of the ammunition compartment caused by the fire or torpedo explosion, the martyrdom is like a deadly demon to the battleship, once the bloody mouth of the battleship with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons will be swallowed, and even the bones and scum will not be left at all.

Kanji Kato closed his eyes and couldn't bear to look at the miserable situation on the sea, he couldn't bear to witness the tragic situation of his fleet, he could accept the sinking of several cruisers, but a battle cruiser was sunk without even firing a shot, which he couldn't accept in any case.

This was a naval battle in which the forces of the two sides were extremely asymmetrical, and what was surprising was that the outcome of the battle was the opposite of the strength of the battle, and the task force with huge ships and cannons was beaten by a few rudimentary submarines that did not dare to hide under the surface of the sea and were powerless.

This nationally watched naval battle can no longer escape the eyes of the people, once this absurd defeat is transmitted back to China, he Kato Kanji even if he apologizes ten times can hardly offset his guilt, Kato Kanji although he is on the battlefield, but his mind has flown to the post-war, if it was the sea battle that decided the fate of the imperial country decades ago, under the leadership of Togo Heihachiro, it was also in the case of several Jedi, and he was only thinking about martyrdom in his heart, and now the status of the transit is different, and the more entanglements in his heart, After all, the moral bottom line could not resist the temptation of power and status, and at this time he was already thinking about how to get rid of his guilt and how to safely bring the remnants of the fleet back to Yokosuka.

At this moment, he was in the prime of his life, and he had no idea that his life was less than three hours left, and his fate was sealed the moment he set sail from Yokosuka, and he was destined not to see the rising sun tomorrow on this nightmare night.

Of course, Admiral Kato gave the most appropriate order he could think of to order the ships to quickly leave the battlefield, but the battlefield at this time was no longer within his control, whether it was the struggle of the Chinese submarines or the opposition of the commanders of the ships.

The first to jump out against him was none other than Rear Admiral Yamamoto Isoroku, the commander of the battleship "6 O" standing beside him.

Yamamoto fifty-six sneered again and again:

"Your Excellency, I beg your pardon for not being able to carry out your orders, from this moment on, I, Yamamoto, and the entire battleship, will fight for the Imperial Kingdom and His Majesty the Emperor until the last moment, until victory comes."

Kato Kanzhi lost control of the entire fleet in this way, a commander who has lost his fighting spirit is always easy to be abandoned by his own generals, especially the task force fleet of fierce generals, Yamamoto 56 took over Kato Kanzhi's control of the task force, ordered each ship to immediately enter the battle mode, all searchlights turned on, search for targets on the sea surface, and once there is an abnormality, it will repeatedly strafe with secondary guns, anti-aircraft guns, and anti-aircraft machine guns.

As long as the Chinese submarine is in shallow water, it will inevitably be damaged by anti-aircraft shells, Yamamoto 56 after the Battle of Songhu specially studied this kind of underwater ship called submarine, the Achilles heel of this kind of ship is that it has almost no defense, the fragile hull can easily be torn apart by small-caliber naval guns, once the hull is damaged, it will be fatal to the submarine, so what he has to do is to do everything possible to kill and injure these submarines.

However, Yamamoto took it for granted, this tactic would soon prove ineffective in the first actual battle, and the submarines of the Suidong Army did not seem to stay below the surface of the sea, and after the shelling by anti-aircraft guns or naval guns, it had no effect, on the contrary, the submarine force achieved another success, and a heavy cruiser was hit in the engine room and lost power.

Yamamoto frowned, and watched intently through his telescope to observe the battle on the sea, and because many of the ships were in flames, the whole picture was illuminated as daylight, and he could clearly see the white lines of several fish crossing the picture, and he could watch them row towards the huge battleship and could not do anything.

The few destroyers with a displacement of only a few hundred tons were running left and right in vain between the gaps of the big warships, and the few destroyers carrying depth charges had already dropped all their spare bombs, and even if the sonar showed the target, they could only helplessly turn in circles in the sea above the target.

Of course, what makes the captains of these destroyers who tow sonar panic is not that their own depth charges have been exhausted, but that according to the detection of sonar, there are countless targets under sleep, at least about a hundred.

The destroyer commanders even wondered if it was a false alarm caused by the damage to the sonar equipment, but as this enemy report was gathered into the bridge command cabin of the fleet's flagship "6 O", Yamamoto's brow tightened even more, as if he wanted to squeeze out the entire skin between his eyebrows, or more appropriately, petrification.

This is clearly a premeditated attack by the Chinese, is it a trap, how is this possible, how can those Chinese who have always been timid and cowardly dare to use these submarines called Hanako to sneak attack the imperial task force?

But the fact is that China not only dares to think, but also dares to do, and hundreds of submarines have beaten this invincible task force all over the ground in less than an hour of fighting, and Yamamoto Isoroku finally has a little understanding of Kato's mood in the face of helpless facts, but this is by no means a reason to escape.

The Imperial Navy could not be the fleeing side, as long as they kept fighting, he believed that victory would favor them.

Behind him, Kato Kuanzhi's unhurried advice sounded: "Yamamoto-kun, don't sacrifice meaninglessly, at this time, don't you know the battle situation, in the absence of professional ships to deal with the Shina submarine, it is the wisest choice to evacuate the battlefield quickly, only by sacrificing your reputation can we exchange for the safety of the Imperial Navy warship." ”

After being usurped by Yamamoto Isoroku, Kato Kanchi finally figured out the priorities of the matter, but can Yamamoto Fifty-six calm down as quickly as him, and in the end, the wise decision is to escape, can he endure the shame of escaping.
