The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 1310

German fast battleships are almost impossible to be killed in seconds. In addition to the excellent alternate layout of fine compartments and power cabins, even if there are water bombs, the damage caused is relatively limited. That is, if the situation is not good and the German fleet wants to leave, there is no problem. After all, in the eyes of others in Yamaya, such warships fighting Kato Kanji would also suffer considerable damage, and the speed reduction is certain. Therefore, others at the mountain house believe that it is good to be able to beat the German fleet, and if they can stay, they can burn the incense!

However, when it comes to the issue that the Japanese fleet is not doing well before, Yamaya estimates that the current situation should be that the Japanese fleet is being pushed around by the German fleet. The eight achievements I have come here this time is to help Kato Kanji to relieve the siege. As for the previous siege? Let's wash and sleep.

The six Japanese destroyers attached to the fleet formed a fan-shaped cordon in front of the fleet, hoping to catch the enemy as soon as possible. However, what the Japanese did not expect was that the two fleets met after 15 minutes, and there were some deviations in the estimation of the Japanese fleet. , Su Xiong's fleet approached from the flank of the Japanese fleet!

How about replacing coal with heavy oil is historically inevitable. In addition to the great advantages of various power and navigation technologies, the concealment of warships is also a very important point. Heavy oil boilers burn more fully, and white smoke It is difficult to find under clear conditions, and with the use of sea breeze, when the German fleet approached the Japanese fleet, the latter was not found in the first place!

As for why we met within 15 minutes, the reason is very simple. The time that the Japanese estimated before was a chase problem, but now it is the German who came to the door on their own initiative and it became an encounter problem...

"Two King Kong-class battlecruisers, and five destroyers up and down." Seeing the information sent by the seaplane, Su Xiong felt basically stable.

"Hold the grass!" When the other lieutenant admiral in the mountain house discovered the German fleet, the distance between the two sides was close to 25 kilometers, almost close to the edge of the main gun... The German fleet came over from the flank at a high speed of 24 knots, and its course was tangent to the rear of the Japanese fleet!

"Kato Kanji is over..." The others in Yamaya had imagined when they were close to each other countless times, but this time, it was beyond his expectation. The opposing warship can actually run at such a high speed. Moreover, he took the initiative to ask for his own troubles, which shows that the Kato Fleet did not cause any major damage to the opponent at all! This TM is too much to talk about. Last time, two Fusang ships could severely damage two Austro-Hungarian ships of the same class. Why is the situation so bad this time?

"Isn't the Yamashiro already sinking?" A guess that was enough to startle him arose in the hearts of others in the mountain house.

"Your Excellency Commander, what shall we do?" the captain of the King Kong asked.

"Let's go! Heading to the northeast. Retreat at full speed." The others at Yamaya decided to rush people immediately. After realizing that the Kato fleet was over, the others at Yamaya didn't want to stay on the battlefield for a minute, so they decided to return directly. As for the remaining transport ships? How can their value compare to the precious battlecruisers of the Japanese Navy?

"Your Excellency Commander, if the German fleet bites us, most of our destroyers may not be able to hold on to the next supply point." The chief of staff said with a black face. The speed of the destroyer is indeed faster than that of the battlecruiser, but how much fuel can you hold on a destroyer of 1,000 tons? How long can it last? Therefore, the mountain house other fleet has scheduled supply nodes to provide fuel along the way.

And look at the sky, it's still early today, but at 8 o'clock in the morning, the other party has 10 hours to entangle with him... Perhaps relying on the fleet's top speed, it can disappear from the battleship's sight quickly, but don't forget that there are seaplanes. No matter how fast you are, can you pass the plane? Therefore, the Germans will not lose their target. As long as the other party keeps chasing, then you must also keep high speed, and the result of this is that in theory, before sunset today, the fuel of the destroyer unit will first run out. Then let someone slaughter...

And just before the battle, another unexpected thing changed the whole battle again. A seaplane from the Kirishima had returned and signaled that he had discovered the Yamashiro battleship!

"The Yamashiro is near us, and it seems that it still retains a part of its combat power. We can definitely rendezvous with the Yamashiro first!" said the King Kong captain.

"But now, the German fleet is between us and the Yamashiro. If we want to rendezvous, we must first pass through the German fleet's artillery fire!" said an assistant next to him.

"We have destroyers that can provide cover. As long as we merge with Yamashiro, even if Yamashiro has only half of its combat power, we still have the advantage. We can't give up a 30,000-ton capital ship like this. As for those destroyers? If we do this If they leave, if the German fleet catches up, the probability of them escaping is low. It's better to use it to save the Yamashiro."

If these words spoken by the captain of the King Kong were heard by the destroyer, he might have to be sent a blade, but what he said is true. The German fleet has already severely damaged the Kato fleet by visual observation, and the Kurama may be dead. Yes, if Yamaya’s other fleet is gone, then Yamashiro might be really bad for you~www.wuxiaspot.com~ And if two battleships are sunk in one battle, then it will not only be heavy for the Japanese Navy. Strikes will have a very negative impact on the security of the Japanese Empire. This consequence is not the mountain house others are willing to bear, or that he can not bear it!

The reconnaissance planes of the two sides also flew over each other, and soon, according to the reconnaissance planes when they returned, they sent out two yellow flares, which meant that the conditions of the other side's ships were not very good. It is considered to have suffered a moderate degree of damage, and this also makes the confidence of others in the mountain house a little more.

"Su Xiong's courage is really great. In this case, after they have achieved certain results, facing the advantage, we actually chose to fight against instead of retreating. I really don't know if this approach is brave or Reckless!" When someone in the mountain house said this, it already meant that he was going to have a fight with the Germans!

"Ready to fight! Let the destroyer squadron wait for an opportunity to prepare to release the torpedoes. Tell Kirishima that after being attacked, you can choose to avoid it without considering the formation. We don't necessarily have to smash the Germans." Others in Yamaya issued an attack. command.
