"Our current situation seems to be pretty good?" Riddle said with a cold sweat as he looked at the Japanese destroyer going away. The layman saw that after some previous operations, the situation did not seem to have changed. Certainly, several battleships in the Japanese fleet were injured, but similarly, the four Bavarian-class battleships of the German fleet were also scarred. It seems that the basic brand has not changed, and the sinking of 6 destroyers here is not a pain to the Japanese fleet. But this is not the case!

The Japanese took a total of 42 destroyers with them. Excluding the 8 destroyers left to others in the mountain house, there are 34, and minus the destroyers that were sunk before, there are still less than 20! And don’t forget, some of the destroyers with less than 20 ships throw all the torpedoes away! Well, now the problem is here. Once the destroyer has thrown away all the torpedoes, the significance of this destroyer in the battle of the large fleet is reduced by more than half! After all, battleships are afraid of torpedoes. Otherwise, unless you can directly hit them, what damage can the remaining 120MM guns on battleships cause to battleships weighing more than 20,000 tons?

Therefore, the current situation is that the combat power of the Japanese destroyers has been greatly overdrawn, and they have been worn out before they are doing business. You must know that the goal of the Japanese fleet is to deal with the American transport fleet in the core area. , And when necessary, these destroyers need to use torpedoes to break a gap under the US Navy’s chase and interception to allow the main fleet to escape to heaven! As a result, now, just against the Germans, they have lost more than a dozen destroyers. This is obviously a loss, OK?

Of course, you would say that the Germans also lost a large number of destroyers, at least they have sunk 5 destroyers now, and all of them are large destroyers, but that is not the calculation! To be honest, if the Americans are sincere, the German High Seas Fleet that got the news can pull out a dozen more destroyers to make up for the losses on the battlefield without hesitation. Can the Japanese? When did the Japanese have the ability to compete with the German high seas fleet? At the level of light warships, it is meaningless for the Japanese to discuss the exchange ratio with virtue, because it is basically a loss! The ones made by others are faster than those made by you!

Although during this period of time, Su Xiong's fleet temporarily retreated the Japanese main fleet and severely damaged the Japanese destroyer detachment again, the losses of the 3 Bavarian-class battleships were also within the scope of bear. Without the restraint of Japanese destroyers, Su Xiong could Pull the smoke and evacuate!

However, it is a pity that the war eventually tended to be more crowded and artillery. At the beginning of the war, the Weimar, which was besieged by two Fuso-class battleships and a King Kong-class battleship, had already been hit hard at the beginning of the war. Subsequently, even though the Weimar hit the Ibuki heavily with one blow, the attacks of the remaining three Japanese battlecruisers with more than 20 14-inch guns still cost Weimar a heavy price!

The No. 2 and No. 3 main turrets, which were constantly hit, finally could no longer withstand the blow. The No. 2 turret was completely stuck, the internal servo equipment was damaged, and the two barrels of the No. 3 turret were interrupted! Up to now, the Weimar has only 3 main guns left.

"Your Captain, the stern of the hull is seriously damaged. The water inflow from the rear of the hull is about 1,500 tons, and the stern is tilted to the left by 12 degrees. And the water inflow is increasing!"

"The mechanical steering gear is temporarily malfunctioning. We are operating it manually. It is expected to be repaired in half an hour."

"The number of armor-piercing ammunition for the No. 1 turret is insufficient, and the gunner recommends using semi-armor-piercing ammunition instead."

A piece of bad news was gathered in front of Captain von Mueller, watching the two fleets still fighting in the distance, as well as the twisted steel plates on the battleship and the fire distributed throughout the ship, the Brigadier General was lost in thought.

"It seems that our luck today is very bad." Brigadier General Muller said to his colleagues with a wry smile. "I am proud and proud that we can work with you on this great battleship. Although, because of my lack of ability, the glory of this battleship has been tainted. Perhaps my next order will kill most of us. The battlefield, but, for the sake of victory, for the dignity of the empire and the glory of the high seas fleet, I hope that you can support my decision."

Moments later, Raidel received a telegram from the battleship Weimar.

"Captain Von Müller sent a signal, Weimar's situation is a bit bad, they have sent a signal, decided to withdraw from the battle, and then move north." Raidel said to Su Xiong.

"Yes, it's serious." Looking at the Japanese fleet that was still shooting in the distance, Raidel nodded and said: "Even if the Fuso-class attention is attracted by us, the firepower of the Japanese Second Battle Fleet is still focusing on Wei. Mar, so far, this battleship has been hit by at least 12 rounds of 14-inch shells and 15-inch shells, and unfortunately, 6 of the shells are concentrated in the tail, and a lot of water has entered the hull. The situation is very bad."

"Brigadier General Von Muller is looking for death!" Su Xiong gritted his teeth and said.

"Your Excellency, the battleship Weimar is turning! They are starting to evacuate north! The Japanese fleet is also turning!" At this moment, Nimitz next to him raised his binoculars and said loudly~lightnovelpub.net~Wei The position of the Mara is very easy to distinguish. The fire in part of the Weimar hull, which has been hit by too many large-caliber artillery shells, has been out of control. The Japanese Navy, which is under the British Navy, likes to fill with picric acid explosives when using armor-piercing shells. Their shells are very arsonistic! And under the fire-focused shooting of the three Japanese battlecruisers, it is as strong as Weimar to extinguish all the fires!

"Why doesn't the Weimar release smoke?" Nimitz said with some wonder.

With a creak, Raidel abruptly broke the pen in his hand. At this time, Raidel tried his best to approach the observation window in the control tower, and then tried his best to look at the Weimar, which was turning in the distance. Before, the agile and powerful figure had become staggering. He tried to hide in the night with flames and smoke, but the flame on his body pointed out his direction like a lighthouse. Behind it, three Japanese King Kong-class battleships chased their wounds like wolves smelling blood. Don't let go of the tired lion!

"Su Xiong, think of a way!" Raidel roared. "We can't just leave, Mueller has no right to give up such a warship! I will not accept his decision! We should reject his order! We have the highest decision!"
