"These madmen! I swear, I swear to kill them!" Looking at the sea surface that had been dyed red by blood and fire, Kato Hiroji looked like a mad tiger. However, going crazy is one thing, fighting is another. As the night sky gradually enveloped the entire sea surface, it is really not easy to attack the enemy ships in the distance.

It is true that the two German fast battleships were firing wildly, and the flames had already exposed their location, but the wreckage and smoke of other Japanese ships on the sea still interfered with the sightings of Yamacai and Yonaga. Finally, when they were 15 kilometers apart, the rangefinder on the Yamacai battleship finally put the Schánhorst tightly in the center of the rangefinder!

"Fire!" With the release of the shooting order, the 10 15-inch naval guns of the Shancheng City finally roared for the first war! Five shells weighing 870kg roared and flew towards the target in the distance. After a few dozen seconds, the water column formed by the shells falling into the water instantly covered half of the hull of the Schonhorst.

Just 5 minutes later, the Ultimate Rapid Battleship also discovered the trace of the Gneesenau. Subsequently, the first-generation Japanese fast battleship also challenged its German counterparts. Four 14-inch cannons spewed out long flames and shot at the unprepared German warship.

"The Japanese are here, prepare to leave! Our mission has been completed today." Looking at the flames rising on the sea level in the distance and the water columns around him, Su Xiong decisively issued a retreat order, leaving so simply, without any delay!

The situation is very chaotic now. Because the two warships were killed too hard just now, there were burning ships next to them. The firelight of the ships illuminated the figures of the two German warships well. At this moment, the two Japanese battleships were hidden in the night. Apart from the firelight when the fire was opened, the target position could not be determined. In addition, the other party may also carry destroyers. Therefore, in this situation that is obviously unfavorable to him, Su Xiong decided to rush to the scene first and then find the venue tomorrow...

The two German battleships were very careful when leaving. Even in the night, in order to finally block the light that might be used by the other party, the two battleships immediately stopped shooting and then pulled out smoke screens... In just a few dozen seconds, the outline of the German battleship disappeared from the Japanese's vision and completely integrated into the darkness!

However, in such a short time, with such a tragic visibility and the careful action of the German warships, shooting two Japanese battleships from 15 kilometers away naturally could not achieve effective hits. Even cross-fire did not form.

The German fleet came quickly and disappeared faster. In just over a dozen minutes, there were no traces of the existence of two German battleships in the main sea. In addition to the ruins and corpses and the crowds struggling on the sea, there were only Japanese fleets with big eyes left...

"Let the Yangyan destroyer save people, and the other transport ships will speed up their sails immediately." After a moment of silence, Kato Hiroji ordered.

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

"The Germans may not have gone far. They are like wolves, hiding in the darkness, waiting for an opportunity to attack us. We must ensure that the main ships are also hidden and beware of enemies from the darkness." Kato Hiroji said with a pale face. To save people, you must turn on the lights. Taking the lights at night means exposure, and open fire fighting describes this situation. (Is that what it means...) Who knows whether the German fleet has left, turned on the lights and found people, and then waited for the German fleet to use the lights to shoot them up? Kato Hiroji thinks he is not so stupid.

After a quick rescue operation, Kato Hiroji began to consider another question. Is it necessary for him to send a report to the other Lieutenant General of Yamaya immediately and ask the latter to move closer to him. According to what ordinary people think, since the German fleet has appeared and has caused huge losses to the fleet, it is time to let the ambush fleet come out now. But if you think about it yourself, it will be different.

Because, although the German fleet appeared, Kato Hiroji didn't know whether the current German fleet had left or continued to wander around him. He didn't even know where the enemy was. What did you ask the other fleet of the Yamaya to come up?

What? Do you want the two King Kongs to find the target together? Please, there is a fundamental difference between Yamaya's fleet and Kato Hiroji'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, Kato Hiroji can choose to fight hard, but if the two King Kong-class battleships of Yamaya's two King Kong-class battleships meet, it would be great that they can run away! The strength of the two sides can't compare!

So, although the Japanese fleet sent four main battleships this time, the only way to retain the German fleet is that Kato Hiroji first bit the German fleet, it is best to injure it to limit the opponent's speed, and then the Yamaya's other fleet comes up to finish the fight! Otherwise, if Su Xiong's fleet and two King Kongs meet first, the Japanese fleet's combat plan will go from comedy to tragedy!

Therefore, even if Kato Hiroji wants to kill the German fleet, he must not act rashly now. Otherwise, who knows what is going on at sea after one night? In order to ensure concealment, the fleet of others in the Yamaya does not even send telegrams, so naturally he doesn't know what is happening here.

So Kato Hiroji was hesitating and hesitating, not knowing whether to let others come together in the mountain house. At the same time, before the evening rest, Su Xiong and Redell also had some ideas about future combat plans.

"The record tonight was good. The Gneesenau destroyed one destroyer and four transport ships. We killed one destroyer and three transport ships, one of which transported thousands of Japanese troops. If you do this a few more times, you can do it?" Raidel thought for a while and said. He thought that since you can get good results by simply avoiding a simple Japanese fleet attack, there is no need to die with the Japanese fleet, right? This is a typical thinking of breaking the relationship. Try not to meet the opponent's main battleship if you can meet the opponent's main ship...

"Today is an exception. If the Japanese are more cautious and send seaplanes to conduct reconnaissance before nightfall, there is a high probability that we, who are only about 50 kilometers behind the Japanese fleet. Once, there is no longer a second time. Even if we use dawn attacks, the Japanese can still release seaplanes at dawn and discover us first." Su Xiong said.
