Iron Germany

"boom!"

A 105mm shell hit the light cruiser Kitakami. Although for a warship with a displacement of more than 6,000 tons, a 105mm shell cannot cause much damage to it.

However, the siege of the German fleet and the continuous falling shells have already driven the officers and soldiers of the island nation on the light cruiser "Kitakami" to the point of going crazy.

"Your Majesty, the German blockade is very strong, and we can't get through it at all!" A staff officer reported.

Masao Ueno, the builder of the light cruiser Kitakami, looked serious. If you can't break through the blockade of the German fleet, you can only watch the capital ship formation of the German fleet evacuate safely. What's more, under the onslaught of these light cruisers and destroyers of the German fleet, they are also very likely to be sunk. After all, the entire Thunderbolt formation only had two heavy mine cruisers and ten destroyers. The German fleet invested ten light cruisers and ten destroyers. The strength gap between the two sides is obvious.

"Order the torpedo launch! Launch all the torpedoes in a fan shape. Sink the German light cruisers and destroyers in one fell swoop, let them know how powerful we are!" Masao Ueno ordered.

Since the capital ship formation of the German fleet is to be pursued, it is necessary to break through the blockade of the German fleet. When there is no other way, it can only launch an attack. If it goes well, it may be able to cause heavy losses to the German light cruisers and destroyers blocking them. Thus allowing them to take the opportunity to break through the blockade.

"Order the sailors to get ready. After the torpedo is launched, it must be reloaded in the shortest possible time!" Masao Ueno ordered.

The ten quadruple torpedo tubes equipped on the light cruiser 'Kitakami' gave it an extremely terrifying lightning strike capability. But at the same time, it is not so easy to reload after launch, and it often takes a lot of time.

"Hi, Your Excellency!" The staff officer immediately went to give the order.

The ten quadruple 610mm torpedo tubes of the light cruiser 'Kitakami' began to launch torpedoes one after another.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Accompanied by a dull sound, one after another torpedoes were launched from the torpedo tubes and fell into the sea. Then these torpedoes shot towards the front of the light cruiser 'Kitakami' at high speed. A total of forty torpedoes were distributed in a fan shape, almost covering all the light cruisers and destroyers of the German fleet.

The rate of fire of the spear torpedo is very fast, and the maximum rate of fire can reach a terrifying 50 nautical miles. Even the light cruisers and destroyers of the German Navy are much worse than this.

At this moment, the German light cruisers and destroyers besieging the light cruiser "Kitakami" did not realize that the crisis had come.

"Very good, keep attacking, we have already hit the damned light cruiser of the islanders. As long as we maintain the strength of our firepower, we will be able to sink them soon!" On a German light cruiser, the captain Said with satisfaction.

Although, it seems a bit too bullying to use a light cruiser with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons to bully an island light cruiser with half its displacement. However, this is war, there is no such thing as fair or unfair.

"boom!"

Suddenly a huge explosion sounded on the bow of the light cruiser. The violent explosion seemed to lift the entire bow of the battleship out of the water, and then hit the sea hard.

The sailors on the battleship were stunned one by one. Even the officers in the command tower fell to the ground.

"Shit! What happened? Have we been hit?" the captain asked angrily.

"Sir, the situation is not good. Our ship's bow was hit by an islander's torpedo." An officer reported.

"What? We were hit by a spear torpedo from the islanders?" The captain's face suddenly turned pale.

"Damage control is trying to do damage control. But I'm afraid it will be very difficult. The torpedoes dealt with are too powerful. The underwater armor of the bow was completely torn apart and a big hole was blown out. Several adjacent cabins were blown up. The spear torpedoes of the islanders are really amazing!" The officer looked terrified.

Even if their light cruiser has a displacement of tens of thousands of tons, it is also unbearable to be hit by a spear torpedo.

"Bastard! Order all crew members to prepare to evacuate." Although the captain was unwilling, he could only give the order to abandon the ship for the sake of the lives of most people. After all, warships are expensive though. But with Germany's industrial strength, these warships were built in batches. In comparison, these experienced sailors are the most important.

At this moment, explosions sounded continuously.

An explosion occurred on the side of a destroyer. Under the dazzling flames, the destroyer was directly broken into two pieces, and soon sank into the sea. None of the more than 200 German sailors on board survived.

"boom!"

Another light cruiser was also hit, and the stern of the ship was blown to pieces. A large amount of sea water poured into the battleship, causing the battleship to finally sink into the sea with the stern down and the bow up.

In this round of lightning strikes launched by the light cruiser "Kitakami", two light cruisers and two destroyers of the German fleet were sunk. Such a result is undoubtedly very terrifying.

Although the cost of forty torpedoes is not cheap, it is not even comparable to a single destroyer. Not to mention the more expensive light cruisers. Being able to sink two light cruisers and two destroyers at once is already a very good result.

"Yosi! Great job!"

Masao Ueno watched as several warships of the German fleet were sunk and sank into the sea, he could not help but smile. Although there is no capital ship that can hit the German fleet, it is undoubtedly very good to be able to send two light cruisers and two destroyers to the bottom of the sea at one time.

"Hurry up and load the torpedoes, let's go after the German battleship!" Masao Ueno ordered.

The light cruiser 'Kitakami' can reach a maximum speed of 34 knots. The maximum speed of the "Fubuki-class" destroyer can also reach 35 knots. If they speed up to catch up, they will be able to catch up with the capital ship formation of the German fleet.

Of course, even if they catch up, it is still very difficult to say whether they can successfully use torpedoes to sink the capital ship of the German fleet. After all, around the capital ship formation of the German fleet, there are now 12 heavy cruisers, 10 light cruisers and 20 destroyers.
