The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 1293: Take a break

Chapter 1293

"These lunatics! I swear, I swear to kill them!" Looking at the sea that has been dyed red with blood and fire, Kanji Kato looked like a mad tiger. However, going crazy is one thing, fighting is another thing. With the darkness gradually covering the entire sea, it is really not easy to attack enemy ships in the distance.

It is true that the two German fast battleships are firing frantically, and the light of the fire has already revealed their position, but the wreckage and smoke of other Japanese ships on the sea still interferes with the sighting of Yamashiro and Kurama. In the end, they are 15 apart from each other. At kilometer, the rangefinder on the battleship Yamashiro finally put the Scharnhorst in the center of the rangefinder!

"Fire!" Accompanied by the firing order, the 10 15-inch naval guns of the Shancheng finally issued the first war roar! Five shells weighing 870KG whizzed and flew towards the distant target. After dozens of seconds, the water column formed by the falling of the shell instantly covered half of the hull of the Scharnhorst.

Only 5 minutes later, the fast battleship Kurama also found the traces of the Gneisenau. Subsequently, the first-generation fast battleship in Japan also challenged its German counterparts. Four 14-inch artillery guns spewed out long shots. The long flame shot at the defenseless German warship.

"The Japanese are here, get ready to go! Today our task has been completed." Looking at the flames rising on the sea level in the distance, and the water column around him, Su Xiong decisively issued the retreat order, saying that he left. One simply, without any muddle!

The current situation is very chaotic, because the two battleships just killed too much, so there are burning ships next to them, the fire of the ships is very good to reflect the figure of the two German battleships, and at the moment, the two Japanese battleships are hidden In the night, apart from the fire when firing, it is impossible to determine the target location, and the opponent may also be carrying a destroyer. Therefore, in this obviously unfavorable situation, Su Xiong decided to scream first. Get the place back....

The two German battleships were very careful when they left. Even in the dark, in order to finally shield the light that might be used by the other side, the two battleships immediately stopped shooting, and then pulled out a smoke screen... In just a few tens of seconds, the outline of the German battleship disappeared from the Japanese field of vision, completely immersed in the darkness!

However, in such a short period of time, with such tragic visibility, and the very careful actions of the German warships, shooting two Japanese battleships from 15 kilometers away would naturally not be able to obtain effective hits. Even the straddle shot did not form.

The German fleet came quickly and disappeared faster. In just ten minutes, there were no traces of the existence of the two German battleships in the main sea area. In addition to the ruins and corpses on the entire battlefield, there were also those struggling on the sea. Outside the crowd, there is only the Japanese fleet with big eyes and small eyes...

"Let the destroyer Kagerou (that's the name) save people, and the other transport ships will speed up the voyage immediately." After a moment of silence, Kanji Kato ordered.

"Aren't we participating in the rescue?" asked an officer next to him.

"The Germans may not have gone far. They hide in the dark like a pack of wolves, waiting for an opportunity to act on us. We must ensure that the capital ship is also hidden and guard against the enemies from the dark." Kato Kanji said with a grim expression. If you want to save people, you must turn on the lights. Taking the initiative to turn on the lights at night means exposure. Open flames describe this situation. (Does that mean...) Who knows if the German fleet is gone, turn on the lights to find someone, and then wait for the German fleet to come up with the lights? Kanji Kato thought he was not so stupid.

After arranging the rescue operation hastily, Kanji Kato began to consider another question. Is it necessary for him to immediately report to the lieutenant general of the mountain house and ask the latter to move closer to him. According to ordinary people, now that the German fleet has appeared, and has caused huge losses to the fleet. So now it's time to let the ambush fleet out. But if you think about it yourself, it will be different.

Because although the German fleet appeared, Kanji Kato didn't know whether the current German fleet had left, or whether he would continue to wander around him. You don't even know where the enemy is, what did you let the other fleet from the mountain house do?

what? You said let the two King Kong find the target together? Please, there is a fundamental difference between Yamaya's fleet and Kato Kanji's two fast battleships. Let’s put it this way, even if the German fleet is really discovered, if the German fleet does not escape, Kanji Kato can choose to be hard, but if two of Yamaya’s other King Kong-class battleships collide, it would be nice to run away! The strength of the two sides is incomparable!

So, don’t look at the Japanese fleet dispatched 4 battleships this time, but the only way to keep the German fleet is that Kanji Kato bites the German fleet first, it’s best to wound it and limit the opponent’s Speed, and then the fleet of others in the mountain house will come up to make up! Otherwise, if the Su Xiong Fleet and the 2 King Kongs meet first, then the Japanese fleet's combat plan will change from comedy to tragedy!

Therefore, even if Kanji Kato wants to kill the German fleet again, he must not do it rashly now. Otherwise, who knows, what will be the situation at sea after one night? In order to ensure the concealment of ~lightnovelpub.net~, the fleet of others in the mountain house does not even send telegrams, so naturally I don't know the situation here.

As a result, Kanji Kato hesitated and hesitated, wondering whether to let someone else come to the mountain house. At the same time, before taking a break at night, Su Xiong and Raidel also had some ideas for future combat plans.

"Tonight's record is good. The Gneisenau destroyed one destroyer and four transport ships. We killed one destroyer and three transport ships, and one of them was a troop carrier that carried thousands of Japanese troops. Do this several times, right?" Raidel thought for a while and said. He believes that since a good result can be obtained simply by avoiding the Japanese simple fleet attack, there is no need to fight the Japanese fleet directly? This is a typical thinking of breaking the relationship. If you can avoid facing the opposing battleship, try not to face each other....

"Today is an exception. If the Japanese are more cautious and send seaplanes to conduct reconnaissance before nightfall, then there is a high probability that we will find us who are only about 50 kilometers behind the Japanese fleet. Once, there can be no second. Second. Even with the dawn attack, the Japanese can still release the seaplane at dawn and be the first to spot us." Su Xiong said.
