what should we do? Is it to support the front fleet or the Mecklenburg? "The deputy captain next to him asked.

"Give me two minutes, I need to think about it." Colonel Kimmel said.

This time, the explosion of Ikiwa did not pay too much attention to the Japanese side, because at this time the battle has entered white-hot. After the Nevada was solved, the Gaobo was extinguishing the fire and would soon return to the battlefield. At the front end of the battle line, the US fleet is gradually collapsing. After a bitter battle, the Nagato finally gradually reached the New Mexico, and pushed the latter to a dead end step by step!

"Rush up! We can penetrate the other's armor by getting closer!" In this duel, the New Mexico always wanted to get closer so that the opponent's armor could be ripped apart, but the battleship Nagato always maintained a certain degree under the cover of the destroyer. distance.

However, the current state of the flagship of the Japanese combined fleet is also not good. In addition to the consumption of a large amount of ammunition, Nagato was also completely wounded by the Americans, especially in the close combat phase. Although the New Mexico was in the distance at the beginning of the war. The distance performance was poor due to the problem of the fire control system, but after approaching, as many as 12 14-inch guns still left a deep "impression" on the Nagato. Both physically and psychologically!

"If you simply talk about the firepower projection density, the American standard battleship is definitely a first-line level, and the projected amount of main guns per unit time is no worse than our Nagato-class battleships and Fuso-class battleships. Their bomb supply system is very advanced and can maintain every The fastest rate of fire of more than 2 rounds per minute and the number of as many as 12 artillery must not be underestimated, because the distance is too close and the New Mexico was not hit hard at the beginning, so in the final stage of the battle, even the Nagato class Battleships are also more difficult in close combat." After the war, high-level Japanese navy officials were such a standard battleship that was affordable to Americans.

However, the amount of projection is only one aspect after all. The American 14-inch gun has a penetrating ability that is 2 grades lower than the Nagato! The defense is even worse. So, in the final stage of the battle, although the Nagato was hit by at least 10 14-inch shells, the entire hull above the waterline was scarred, even because the front of the hull was hit by at least 3 The firing of the shells brought a certain degree of first tilt. But in the end, the 16-inch gun of the Nagato knocked on the heavy armor of the New Mexico again and again, and shattered the internal organs of this behemoth! After heavy blows, the Japanese finally waited for the final fatal blow!

The New Mexico launched its final assault. When narrowing the distance to 9,000 meters, a 14-inch shell accurately hit the main mast of the Nagato and broke it in two. An inch shell pierced the ammunition depot under the New Mexico No. 2 turret! The penetration depth of a shell hit at a vertical angle at this distance has far exceeded the defense standards of the New Mexico.

The 13.5-inch thick armor was cut open, and then the next wall composed of thin steel plates at the back. Eventually the shell penetrated all the defenses and entered the New Mexico’s No. 2 ammunition depot, where there were at least three-digit shells and Dozens of tons of propellant, all this will eventually be irretrievable!

A dazzling spot appeared in the middle of the New Mexico's hull, which could be clearly observed with the naked eye even from ten kilometers away. The entire battleship was slashed by a huge explosion! The hull seemed to be grasped by a pair of big hands and then twisted and torn. As the distance exploded, a large amount of smoke and fire made up for the sea, and even submerged the dying hull. Explosions continued to be heard in the smoke. Within a few minutes, the sea near the New Mexico was covered by thick smoke. When the smoke dissipated more than ten minutes later, the shadow of the New Mexico was gone! In this explosion, no personnel on the New Mexico ship survived!

"Finally, we won the war." Shigeru Taro Yoshimatsu was completely relaxed. He felt that the Japanese joint fleet had secured the victory. The Japanese joint fleet sank 4 U.S. Navy super ships with 1 Ibuki and 1 Hiei. Fearless, which also includes the latest 16-inch artillery battleship! This transaction is simply a profit!

Up to now, the 11 battleships of the U.S. Navy have 7 remaining, while the 13 battleships of the Japanese Navy have 10 more in addition to the USS King Kong, which left the battle prematurely and the two sinking battleships! This advantage is already great. At least Shigeru Yoshimatsu believes that as long as he works harder, he will achieve the most glorious victory in the history of the Japanese navy. Even if it is placed in the world, only the German High Seas Fleet in the Norwegian Sea Battle can be achieved. Compare it?

"Perhaps, after this battle, the Americans might consider asking for peace, right?" At this time, Shigeru Taro Yoshimatsu was already a little drifting! However, although the advantage of the Japanese Navy is further enlarged, in fact, there is still a certain distance from the victory that Yoshimatsu Shigetaro thought.

"How come the rate of fire has dropped? Hurry up and find a new target to attack!" Shigeru Yoshimatsu sensed something wrong with Nagato, so he ordered.

"Nagato's ammunition has almost been consumed, we have already fought with too many enemies today, and the armor-piercing bullets have been exhausted." An officer said.

"What a joke~lightnovelpub.net~ If I remember correctly, 85% of the ammunition in the NAGATO’s ammunition depot was armor-piercing bullets this time." Shigeru Taro Yoshimatsu said dumbfounded.

"Yes, it's all finished." Shigeru Taro Yoshimatsu was a little dumbfounded by the officer's words.

"Damn, if I want to design the next tier of battleships, I will ask to expand the ammunition depot." Shigeru Taro Yoshimatsu cursed in a low voice. Although the Nagato eventually killed the New Mexico, the combat effectiveness of the Nagato was also low. This made Yoshimatsu Shigeru Taro's joyful mood dissipated in an instant. However, what he didn't know was that the worst thing in this war would happen soon!

"Grass, what's the situation?" At this time, the battleship Tosa was ushering in the darkest moment of his life. The battle with the battleship Mecklenburg had already left him at a loss. However, at this time, suddenly there was another one. The super fearless aimed its muzzle at the Tosa! So under the attack of the two strong, the Tosa could not hold it! It began to retreat, began to dodge, and began to hide itself with smoke. Even the Fuso next to it had several artillery pieces to support the Tosa, but the shadow of the **** of death was always over this Japanese super fearless.
