Anti-pirated chapter~~~! I have changed my old time~~~! The third update tomorrow~~~!!

After another ten seconds, the left string of the ship quickly sank down, and then the tall bridge directly hit the sea. The violent impact smashed the superstructure and chimney on the deck to pieces! Then, with a loud bang, the hull was in too much water, and the fatal injury in the middle of the hull. Finally, under the influence of its own weight, the ship disappeared from the sea, and the whirlpool generated during the sinking sucked more than 80% of the crew members directly into the seabed!

"This is my most pleasant hunt!" After obtaining the first kill, the Gneesenau rushed into the flock of sheep like a bloodthirsty lion and rushed towards the Japanese fleet. The high speed of 20 knots was like a nightmare compared to the Japanese fleet with an average speed of only 9 knots! They had no way to dodge, and what was even more tragic was that less than 5 minutes had passed since the war started, and Kato Hiroji in the distance didn't even know what happened later!

"What happened behind?" The fires that kept jumping on the sea in the distance and the rising smoke alarmed the Japanese fleet 4 kilometers ahead of the fleet. (When sailing in the dark, the fleet in front will shorten the distance with the transport ship.) The orange flames are as bright as blood under the reflection of the sunset, indicating a very bad start!

"Sir, the Germans are here, the blood donation count is here!" a subordinate said with the telegram he just received. (For the origin of Su Xiong's nickname, you can see the previous article, the chapters of the Indian Ocean Squadron intercepting the British transport fleet for the first time.)

"Bastard! These Germans, a group of demons!" The thing Kato Hiroji was most worried about finally happened. The Germans still came out. Originally, he thought that the Germans would take the shock of the two Japanese battleships and chose to retreat, but they still underestimated the Germans' fighting spirit!

What surprised Kato Hiroji was even more surprising was that this time, the German fleet actually chose to launch an attack in the evening. Is it planning to fight at night? The unexpectedness of the night battle is too great, and to some extent, it is not an exaggeration for both sides to decide the outcome. And the Germans actually dare to fight!

"You really have it." Kato Hiroji closed his eyes, calmed down his fluctuating mood, and issued the first order for this battle: "All destroyers, follow the main ships to prepare for the enemy!" With the order issued, the two Japanese fast battleships began to turn with the two accompanying destroyers. They were now more than 10 kilometers away from the battlefield (because they had to bypass the fleet.) According to the current speed, considering the acceleration process, it would take about 20 minutes to arrive. (calculate the steering and readjust the formation time.) After the attack order was issued, before entering the battlefield, the only thing Kato Hiroji could do was pray for those transport ships!

"Do we want to disband the fleet?" asked the officer next to him.

"Let them sail west at full speed and not disband the fleet." Kato Hiroji frowned and rejected the suggestions of his subordinates. This is a dilemma. Dissolving the fleet can naturally reduce losses, but how do you gather after the fleet is disbanded at night? What if there are still attack ships around? What if the fleet is not disbanded? 20 minutes, haha, these two German fast battleships can probably kill the super gods? The Japanese transport ship located in the rear is as weak as a face of a young sheep on a lion!

In fact, the two German fast battleships did have a very easy attack in these 20 minutes... The Gneisenau, which rushed into the Japanese transport fleet at a speed of 20 knots, had all fired! The ship had 8 350mm main guns and 14 150mm secondary guns on the upper and lower sides of the ship, even 88mm anti-lightning guns. More than 30 artillery pieces of various calibers were crazily spitting flames at several targets. In order to aim, several anti-lightning guns fired flares from time to time!

"The German battleship in the distance is like a demon with magma and flames flowing all over the body in Western legends (Balo Flame Demon?) Its shells are like a deadly sword. With a wave of his hand, he has the breath of death, and in an instant, he ends a transport ship of thousands of tons. The battleship is like a volcano erupting on the sea. The shells fired quickly from the artillery fire have formed waves of fire and spread around like fire. Those colleagues who are within the cover of the shells have no power to fight back. They can only try their best to escape while praying that the demon has not noticed himself." After the battle, a Japanese captain wrote in his diary with lingering fear.

"Second goal!"

"Now is the third one!" said the captain of the Gneesenau excitedly as he looked at the Japanese transport ship that was knocked into a huge torch under the 150mm sub-cannon shooting 8 kilometers away. The German naval officers and soldiers on the entire warship were firing all the Japanese targets that could be seen as crazy. Heavy shells were raised from the ammunition compartment, and soon there would be a pile of shells next to the gun position, especially those 88mm deck cannons. After only a dozen minutes of attack, the gun position was filled with shells.

"When the speed of fire is the fastest, every minute, we tilt the shells of more than 12 tons towards the Japanese fleet!" After the war, the gunner of the Gneesenau said proudly.

"We must save them!" The captain of another Japanese destroyer, Uraki, glared at the distance at the Gneesenau! (There was a destroyer in Japan in 1st Battle.) However, how could a destroyer with only one 4.7-inch gun and three 3.1-inch guns do anything to a German fast battleship?

"We rushed up and killed them with torpedoes!" The Urafeng destroyer had 4 torpedo launchers, which means there was only one chance to attack.

Otherwise, the training method of the Japanese Navy's small exhibition stand still has some effect. (This week is calculated by the Qiyao in Japan, which describes daily training without rest days) The training level of the Japanese destroyer fleet is still very high. It can be seen from the reaction of Urasuki.

This 87-meter-long boat fully utilizes the thick smoke and flames of the concentrated ship for protection. It moves rapidly on the sea at dusk like the finest assassin. When they lean out from a severely damaged transport ship, it is only 5 kilometers away from the Gneisenau!
