Iron Germany

"boom!"

A destroyer of the German fleet was hit by a 610mm heavy torpedo, and the entire battleship was broken into two pieces during the explosion. The power of the spear torpedo is fully displayed in the battle.

But unfortunately, despite the amazing power of the island navy's spear torpedoes, they still could not win this naval battle for them. The strength gap between the two sides is too great, and it cannot be reversed by relying on a single weapon.

"Boom! Boom!"

A destroyer of the island nation's fleet was continuously hit by 150mm artillery shells, and the entire destroyer burned like a burning fireball. And this also allowed more German warships to accurately drop shells on the destroyer.

Soon, the island destroyer sank due to too many shots.

Although, the 610mm spear torpedoes of the Japanese navy caused considerable damage to the German fleet. But in the final result, most of the warships in the lightning strike formation of the island nation's fleet were sunk.

Except for the light cruiser "Kitakami" leading two destroyers to the capital ship formation of the German Navy, the remaining 1 light cruiser and eight destroyers were sunk by the German fleet. Of course, the German fleet also paid a lot of losses for this, four light cruisers and five destroyers were sunk. Such a loss is already greater than that of the island nation's fleet.

However, if the loss of the two capital ships of the island nation's fleet is included, the loss of the German fleet will be relatively small. After all, capital ships are much more expensive than other small and medium warships.

From another perspective, if it weren't for the light cruiser formation and destroyer formation of the German fleet to block the lightning strike formation of the island fleet. Once these lightning strike formations launched a lightning strike against the capital ship formation of the German fleet. The dense 610mm heavy torpedoes are enough to make the capital ship formation of the German fleet drink a pot. Once a capital ship is hit by torpedoes from the island nation's fleet, or even sunk, the consequences will undoubtedly be even more serious. Therefore, it is undoubtedly very worthwhile to lose a few light cruisers and destroyers to eliminate this crisis for the German fleet.

Of course, although the lightning strike formation of the island nation's fleet suffered heavy losses. But they still did not give up. The light cruiser "Kitakami" with two destroyers is speeding up to catch up with the capital ship formation of the German fleet.

On the battleship 'Mutsu', Lieutenant General Takasu Shiro and Major General Suzuki Yoshio were waiting for the news of the Thunderbolt formation. They hoped that the Lightning Strike formation would be successful in this attack, severely damaging or even sinking many capital ships of the German Navy in one fell swoop. In that case, they might be able to regain their disadvantage. It can even turn defeat into victory.

However, they soon realized that all of this was just their extravagant wish. Although their lightning strike formation is very strong, it is undoubtedly very difficult to achieve the victory they expected.

"Your Excellency, Commander, there is news about the lightning strike formation." A staff officer reported.

"Speak!" Lieutenant General Takasu Shiro said.

"The lightning strike formation sank four light cruisers and five destroyers of the German fleet. However, except for the light cruiser Kitakami and two destroyers, all the battleships in our lightning strike formation were also sunk," the staff officer reported. road.

Lieutenant General Takasu Shiro couldn't help frowning. Although the result of the Thunder Strike Formation was not small, such a result was obviously far from his expectation.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the German light cruisers are all huge warships of tens of thousands of tons. It is already very good to be able to sink four of their light cruisers and five destroyers." Major General Suzuki Yoshio said. Although a little disappointed, this is the result after all, and they can only accept it.

Lieutenant General Takasu Shiro nodded: "Yes! It seems that I was too extravagant. In this naval battle, we still lost and failed to win, let alone help the army."

"Your Excellency, Commander, we have tried our best. The Germans are too powerful, and there is nothing we can do." Major General Suzuki Yoshio relieved.

"Where are the light cruiser Kitakami and the other two destroyers? Are they out of danger?" Lieutenant Admiral Shiro Takasu asked.

For the island nation's fleet, every warship is now very precious.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the light cruiser Kitakami and two destroyers have broken through the blockade of the German fleet and are chasing the battleship formation of the German fleet." The staff officer said preciously.

Lieutenant Admiral Takasu Shiro couldn't help but his eyes lit up. He originally wanted to order the light cruiser 'Kitakami' and the two destroyers to return. However, he still held back when the words came to his lips. He still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that the light cruiser 'Kitakami' and the two destroyers of the Japanese navy would perform miracles again.

"Send a telegram to Ueno-kun and tell him to be safe! If he can sink the German battleship, he will be the hero of the entire empire!" Lieutenant General Takasu Shiro said.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander!" The staff officer immediately went to send a telegram.

On the battleship 'Blücher' of the German fleet, the commander, Lieutenant General Otto Schneewendt, and the chief of staff, Major General Abraham, both had ugly faces. The loss reports of the light cruiser and destroyer formations were before them. Such a loss was completely beyond their expectations.

"My God! It's unbelievable. Those broken ships of the islanders can actually cause us such a big loss!" Lieutenant General Otto Schneewent looked unbelievable. In his eyes, the light cruisers and destroyers of the island nation's navy are indeed no different from broken ships. At least compared with the light cruisers and destroyers of the German Navy, the gap is really too big. However, the lightning strike formation of the island navy has caused the German fleet to pay huge losses.

"General, it seems that the spear torpedoes of the islanders are indeed too powerful! According to reports from the surviving warships, almost all of our light cruisers and destroyers were sunk by their torpedoes. A single torpedo can Let our light cruiser or destroyer sink. The power of the spear torpedo is much stronger than our heavy torpedo!" Major General Abraham said.

Lieutenant General Otto Schneewendt nodded: "Even if our battlecruisers are hit by the spear torpedoes of the islanders, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

Although the battlecruisers of the German fleet have strong defenses, if they are hit by spear torpedoes, they will not sink, but at least they will be severely damaged. I have to admit that the spear torpedo of the Japanese navy is indeed a dangerous weapon worthy of vigilance.
